Two shadows stood behind a lonely helicopter, watching the red headed woman working near the Santini Air hanger. "You sure you want to do this?"

"Yes. Most would consider her to be the weak link, and I want to know what she's really like when push comes to shove."

"She barely knows us, much less you."

"All the reason to do it now, when it will seem like less of a betrayal when all is said and done. She needs to know what she's in for, and what could happen in the future. Give her a chance to decide if this is really something she wants to get into before she's in too deep."

A deep breath. "When?"

"Find a reason to keep her late in the hanger tonight until after dark. We'll do it when she leaves."

"Just make sure she doesn't get hurt."

"No guarantees, but my people won't be out looking to hurt her, just scare her a bit."

The younger, shorter man let out a snort. "Famous last words…."
