2060

Jesse watched silently as his Commander pushed the handcuffed woman towards one of the interrogation rooms. He shifted slightly when the woman made eye contact with him, her cold icy blue orbs quickly sized him up before she turned her attention ahead.

Jesse scoffed as he walked towards the room, he wanted to see this interrogation instead of hearing about it later, they had managed to finally catch her, why was she so important? He didn't know, but he was going to find out. That woman came under Overwatch's radar, specifically Blackwatch's radar a year ago. Almost two years later she was finally captured, surprisingly after putting up a huge fight. He chased her down the back streets of Dorado, she was was fast and he was barely able to keep up with her.

She easily took him out with one roundhouse kick to the face and gave Gabriel Reyes a run for his money. He had heard she led Reyes on a chase for blocks as she took out other Blackwatch agents, he heard the Reyes cornered the woman in the back streets of the Dorado.

She definitely had fight in her, before she was forcibly subdued is what he told him as they got into the black van, that only fueled Jesse's curiosity about her. Jesse's copper colored eyes focused on the woman slouching in the chair.

Obsidian like mid back length hair, sharp blue eyes, sun-kissed caramel like skin, she looked as if she was of Mexican descent, but couldn't quite place her. She wore a khaki green bomber jacket, a black crop top, black shorts, black thigh highs and boots. She didn't look like a wanted hacker nor did she look like she had the strength to stagger a man twice her size.

Jesse glanced to the side as he saw the Strike Commander of Overwatch, Jack Morrison, enter the room and move immediately over to the woman. There weren't many times where he saw the Strike Commander, so this was a rare sight, but then again he remembered the amount of trouble the woman had caused for Blackwatch to scramble to subdue her.

His eyes flicked from the blond haired man and to the woman still slouching in the chair, he could tell that she wasn't impressed nor intimidated by either of the larger men, she remained slouching and crossed her legs as they started talking to her. she looked unamused at Morrison but strangely held eye contact with Reyes, who held eye contact with her.

Weird.

Jesse gnawed on the toothpick that hung loosely from his teeth, the thought of a cigarette passed his mind as he watched the two men begin to grill her with questions. There weren't many times like this where he was curious about suspects and yet he was outside the interrogation room waiting on whatever information that Reyes would give him.

He was curious about the little fire cracker.

Hours passed as Jesse slouched in his chair and dozed off as he waited for the verdict of what was going to happen to the woman. He made himself comfortable at best and used his signature cowboy hat covering to cover his face as he slept. The last time he had his slept without his hat on he woke up with marker over his face, thanks to

"Wake up Jesse," Gabriel's grumble startled Jesse from his impromptu nap.

"I-I'm up!" Jesse jumped up.

"We'll continue this tomorrow Gabe, she's more stubborn than I thought she would be..." Jack trailed off as he nodded to Jesse. Jesse tipped his signature cowboy hat to the man.

"Yeah," Gabriel replied as he watched the man leave, his signature blue trench coat flowing behind him as he left. Gabriel sighed tiredly and yawned, Jesse knew that that man hadn't been sleeping soundly since the mission began a week ago. They captured her but now what?

"Did you get looked at?" Gabriel asked as he studied Jesse's face.

"I did. It's a bruise, it'll heal," Jesse replied as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He needed sleep too.

"Don't give me bullshit to get out of training when your face starts hurting," Gabriel said as he exited the interrogation viewing room.

"Ya won't hear a word from me Reyes, but more importantly...what 'bout the girl?" Jesse started as he got up to follow the man from the room. Before closing and locking the door, Gabriel turned his attention back to the woman on the other side of the glass. She sat with her back towards the window, her hood covered her head as she legs propped on the table trying to get comfortable. Jesse quickly followed after the man closing the door behind him. Once they were a bit down the hall Gabriel sighed heavily fueling Jesse's curiosity and anxiousness to know about the woman.

"Her real name is Kallista Kaines. Her main alias is Bastet, the one we've been looking for," Gabriel started.

"The real deal huh? Not what we thought ya know?" Jesse commented As of late Blackwatch and Overwatch as a whole had been dealing with various hackers attempting to disturb the peace where peace was fragile, not to mention they had their own occasionally troublesome hacker of their own.

"I can tell you I didn't expect her to have a British accent. She tries to hide it and she's quite good at it...but you should never assume Jesse," Gabriel said as the two walked down the hall.

"So I see...Anyway, So what's so important about her? It jus sounds like another wanna be elite hacker ya'know?" Jesse questioned.

"She is the real deal otherwise we wouldn't have gone through so much shit to track her down. She was behind the breaches in the database, the UN members scandals, the CIA's system failing, and several other breaches around the world," Gabriel replied.

"That little ol' girl in there? C'mon," Jesse asked.

"Don't let her image fool you. She's damned smart. MIT graduate and started her Master's at Harvard...both Ivy League schools," Gabriel sighed.

"Damn," Jesse whistled.

"Exactly. I wouldn't be too surprised if she was leading us by our fucking noses, " Gabriel replied.

"Soo...what are you going to do?" Jesse asked.

"Dunno yet, you'll find out...after we're done...maybe," Gabriel said causing Jesse to stop in his tracks.

"Soooo...It sounds like you intend on keepin' her Reyes," Jesse said as he looked at the man walk right past him. Clearly, the man was up to something, then again when wasn't he?

"Wait and see," Gabriel said as he waved the man off continuing down the hall.

Three days passed when finally when Bastet began to actually speak, Gabriel and Morrison used different tactics on her to get information from the woman. Whatever they were doing wore her down enough to speak. On the fourth day, the two men entered the room as normal waking her from her light sleep.

"Wake up," Gabriel grumbled as he roughly nudged the woman.

"Mmmn..."Kallista lifted her head from the table and groggily looked at the two men

"Good Morning Miss Kaines," Jack said as he looked at the woman.

"Good Morning gentlemen…or at least I think it's morning" Kallista yawned as she combed back her hair.

"We're going to try this again…" Gabriel began.

"Alright...from the top," Kallista yawned once again.

"Kallista...what was your motive. What did you hope to accomplish in hacking the Overwatch database?" Jack started.

"You were just asking to be caught," Gabriel added.

"It took you guys long enough to actually catch me though...two years almost," Kallista trailed off as she leaned back in her chair.

"You weren't important until a few months ago," Jack started.

"Why thank you for turning your attention on me," Kallista replied cheekily.

"That's not meant to be a compliment girl," Gabriel added.

"You sure? It sounds like one...but getting to the point...I needed something very specific and the Overwatch database...well specifically the Blackwatch database had it. Mind you this wasn't the first time I hacked into your system. As for what I wanted to accomplish...well..." Kallista trailed off with a smirk.

"You made yourself a big pain the ass," Reyes scoffed.

"Awww I'm sorry," Kallista replied sarcastically and smiled at the man. Gabriel scoffed at the woman's cheeky demeanor

"Kallista. What was your motive?" Jack interrupted as he tried to defuse the tension building in the room and focus on getting the information that the woman had.

Kallista turned her wrists in her handcuffs, Gabriel noticed that she had done that every time they spoke, every so often Gabriel studied the woman, her features, mannerisms, her little ticks.

He knew that she knew more than what she was letting on, and made it seem like it was a game as she never fully answered their questions. She calculated every word and every move she made, was she leading them on or was she actually going to tell them? He thought back to when they had brought her into the building, her arms were pinned behind her back when they pushed her into the interrogation room, he turned his back for a moment and when he looked at the woman, she had already maneuvered her arms from behind her back.

She was slippery, he remembered the chase that she led him on, laughing as she ran, the tougher time he had actually taking her down without seriously hurting her. Most of the female targets that they did have would give up right away, but she fought back, it was useless but she did it anyway. He could tell that she had some experience fighting, the way she moved, the way she managed to slip from his grasp told him more than she gave off. Her down fall was the hesitation and a swift punch to the gut.

"To be blunt. The world knows that Overwatch is not all sunshine, rainbows, and heroes. The world is slowly learning about all of the crimes against humanity and omnics that your men have committed. It's not my fault that you have left yourselves open...we...I just know how to capitalize on an opportunity. Not to mention the person you had tracking me on the web. What was their name? Gsa' gzig?" Kallista started.

Gabriel shifted his weight to one leg from the other, she knew about the last of Blackwatch's Intel department, of course, she did. Morrison glanced at the man before turning his attention to back to the woman.

"Your agents are really bad at trailing, especially that wannabe cowboy," Kallista smirked.

"What did you get out of the database?" Morrison asked.

"Good question. Let's just say many damning things," Kallista replied as she narrowed her eyes at the man.

"Stop shitting around, you're already going to rot in a maximum security prison," Gabriel cut in.

"That is true but that doesn't mean I actually have to talk," Kallista replied as she looked at Gabriel.

"What's the point Kallista?" Morrison asked.

"She who has knowledge has power," Kallista replied.

"So..from what I'm hearing you obviously want to make a deal...because what else are you going to do with that information if you're in prison," Morrison said as he crossed his arms.

"Did I say that? I'm pretty sure I didn't say that..." Kallista said as she focused on the piece of hair she twirled around her finger.

"She doesn't deserve a deal," Gabriel commented annoyed at the woman's antics. She did exactly what he thought she was going to do, lead them by their noses.

"Thank you for your consideration Commander Reyes, but I'm pretty sure Strike Commander Morrison has more authority over you," Kallista said bored. Gabriel's jaw clenched at her statement, a statement that struck deep. Morrison glanced at the man again sensing the man's waning patience.

"I am going to ask again...what did you take Kallista," Morrison asked his voice more firm.

Gabriel Reyes had his chair turned backward as he straddled the chair and leaned on the back of the chair. He narrowed his eyes at the woman, for the past three days they interrogated her she held firm on what she had found not budging. Whatever she had it was important that she held on to it. Was it about Overwatch? or something else just as important?

"Good question," Kallista replied again.

"This is not a fucking game woman. You stole confidential information about a government owned facility and not to mention that is a felony and life in prison or even death," Gabriel growled.

"Reyes," Morrison started as he looked sharply at the man.

"I don't think she gets it, Jack. Leave me alone with her and I'll get her to talk," Gabriel said as he stared intensely at the woman.

"This conversation doesn't include a peanut gallery Commander Reyes," Kallista spat back, words full of sarcasm.

"Peanut gallery? Really? Do you even know the situation you're in?" Gabriel asked slightly surprised at the woman's sarcasm.

"Well let's see...I'm probably in Switzerland somewhere underground at Overwatch HQ, you know being interrogated for information that I may have swiped. I'm not sure where else you thought I would be," Kallista replied.

"Really?" Gabriel laughed slightly at the woman's gall to be sarcastic in a situation like this.

"Enough," Morrison sighed.

"Let's see how far that sarcasm will get you in prison, girl. Morrison, throw her in prison, let's see how long she lasts with the mention of capital punishment is said," Gabriel laughed.

Kallista glanced at Gabriel as she crossed a leg over the other and leaned back in her chair. She was quiet for once.

"Oh? What's wrong now girl? Cat got your tongue? You know that you're not some run of the mill criminal, once you go into prison you're staying there," Gabriel smirked as he watched the woman's demeanor change from confident to cautious.

"Kallista," Morrison started again, turning his attention to the woman. Kallista held her head high as her glacier eyes met Morrison's baby blue ones.

"Truthfully I don't think you should go to prison, but the more you dick around and lead us to nowhere makes me think otherwise. Enough games, tell us the information you have and maybe we can lower your sentencing," Morrison started.

"Morrison, just throw her in there," Gabriel said from his chair. Kallista's sharp blue eyes flicked towards Gabriel behind Morrison. Morrison snapped his fingers pulling Kallista's attention away from Gabriel and on to him.

"Focus on me. Not on him," Morrison said as he knelt next to Kallista. Kallista, in turn, sat up in her chair and clasped her hands together as she looked at the man.

"What information did you see and what did you take Kallista," Morrison said as he looked up at the woman.

Gabriel narrowed his eyes at the woman as she pursed her lips together as she looked at Morrison, he knew they had backed her into a corner with no escape from this. It was either spill the information or go straight to prison. The ball was in her court, it was her move.

The ball was in her court, it was her move.

Kallista sighed heavily as she ran her hands through her dark hair before leaning on to the interrogation table. Morrison stood silently as he continued to wait for Kallista's response, whatever she had found was so important that she was risk everything on it.

"From what I saw...and was able to determine...before the God Brigade got to it...there's someone in the United Nations that is working to shut down Overwatch," Kallista replied.
