AN: Hello everyone! Clone here with a POI story. This story will mainly focus on the five ex-counter terrorism operatives, though the other POI characters will play important parts too. As for the setting, the story starts after Shaw joined Reese and Finch but before Root joined. Enjoy! *Note: SPOILERS!*
Chapter 1: Sandwiches, Guns, and Knives, Oh My!
I open the door to our flat, walk in and wait for the sound of the door shutting. Thud. The flat is all open except three rooms on the back wall. We have the kitchen/gym/laundry room/dining area, the bedroom, the armoury, and the bathroom. After my quick survey of the place I stride over to one of the five wooden chairs at a round table with a cellular phone in the middle of it near the corner, listening to the comforting sound of my combat boots as I walk, and flop down onto it. No sooner have I done this than a 6'' woman with bright red hair (high school chemistry accident), fully formed muscles, brown eyes, and an orange tank top and black sweat pants has appeared out of no where.
"How did it go? Did you get them?" she asks, bouncing like a giddy child. And to think that most people have never heard her utter even one word.
"Pretty well Kate, all things considered. One guy tried to rob me, but he's laying in an ally somewhere bleeding out to a stab wound to the right lung." I reply plainly while tossing a paper bag from some local deli on the table as she just shrugs and smiles at me.
Three women emerge from the middle room at the back, rack after rack of 416 Commandos, MP5s, and Glock 17s are visible before the door closes behind them. Meanwhile Kate rummages through the bag and with a delighted squeal, pulls out a sandwich and proceeds to tear into it. The three women were all roughly the same height as Kate, as am I. Two of them come to the table while the last one stayed standing where she was. She had a black tank top, black pants, blond hair, blue eyes, and an DSR-1 slung on her back. Her nickname was The Lone Wolf whereas the other two were The Hunters and Kate and I were The Ghosts. Kate looked up from her now finished sandwich to the woman in black.
"Not hungry Sabine?" She asked. Sabine just grunted before promptly returning to the armoury.
One of the women with a green tank top, black pants, brown eyes, and brown hair walked over to the fridge and fished out a bottle before sitting in one of the chairs. The other had black hair, green eyes, a yellow tank top, and black pants. She too sat down at one of the chairs. Sabine reappeared from the armoury, but thing time with a combat knife instead of the DSR. The one in green turned in the chair to face Sabine.
"What? Did the wolf have to part with her precious rifle?" She sneered.
With a flick of her wrist, Sabine sent the knife flying into the table not an inch from the women's hand.
"This wolf can still bite Linda!" Sabine growled, her slightly longer than usual canines bared.
Linda raised her arms in mock surrender before pulling Sabine's knife out of the table and tossing it back to Sabine. Sabine sat down at the last open chair with a grunt. Sabine was mad because The Hunters, Linda and the one in yellow: Eve, had to destroy all but one of the DSRs for a distraction on the last job. I mean Sabine acknowledged that it was the best option, but she had really wanted those rifles. She still agreed that one rifles was still better than none of them or that all of them would not be worth a teammate's life. Oh well, what's one gonna due? Suddenly the phone in the middle began to ring. Kate snatched it up and quickly answered the call and putting it on speaker.
"State your name and business." She demanded calmly.
"I would like to hire you too protect some...assets...of importance to me." the person on the other end of the line replied. "I can pay you as much money as you need as well as...acquire any weapons you may want." The voice continued.
Kate looked to everyone: Linda was in, Eve was in, Sabine
was very in, and I voted 'in' as well. Kate looked back down at the phone.
"We're in, but we need info." She replies.
"You will find what you all need in the food bag, more assignments are to come." The person answers.
There is a brief silence before the person continues: "And you all can call me...Root." The person says before the call disconnects.
I grab the bag and sure enough, at the bottom was a package. I tear it open and five patches for a kevlar vest fall out that say "The Firewall" and one file, which I open. Everyone looks to me.
"So? Who's our person of interest Jim?" Kate asks.
I look down before responding: "A woman named: Sameen Shaw".
