"Hondo! Hey Hondo!"

Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson had only just set foot out of the locker room when he heard the voice of Dominic Luca calling out to him and turned to see the big blonde man jogging over.

"What's up man?" he asked as he rolled his shoulder, which was still sore from arm wrestling the man in front of him the other day.

"Got a shout from a C.I this morning. Says that the West 9 Kings got a massive shipment last night."

"Woah woah, slow down. Shipment of what?"

Luca took a breath and did his best to stop bouncing on the balls of his feet.

"Guns. A crap tonne of guns. Like enough for an army and then some."

"You taken this to Cortez yet?"

"Not yet"

"We need her to sign off Luca you know that."

"Ok then let's go!"

As the two men headed towards the Captains office Hondo shot a sideways look at his team member and friend.

"What's up with you this morning?"

"Zero sleep, 4 cups of coffee and a screamin' match with my girl, that's what's up." Luca said brightly as Hondo chuckled, shook his head and then raised a fist and knocked on Captain Cortez's office door.

"Come in!" came her accented voice and the two swat officers did so.

Jessica Cortez was sat at her desk, and had to supress a smile when she saw that it was Hondo who had knocked. Putting her pen down and straightening in her seat she asked in an all business tone

"What can I do for you gentlemen?"

Hondo and Luca looked at each other and Hondo gestured to his friend

"I barely know what's goin' on here Luc. The floor's yours."

Luca cleared his throat, stepped forwards and launched into the explanation he had been giving Hondo a few minutes earlier. He told her about the tip off, about who the shipment went to and where even showed her the picture he had been texted of the crates being unloaded and one of the gang pulling out a fully automatic assault rifle.

Cortez listened intently until Luca had finished before getting up from her desk still holding the man's phone as Hondo stood alert in the corner watching the events unfold.

"This C.I" Cortez began, swiping through the photos "Credible?"

"She's never led me wrong before" Luca said confidently. Finally Hondo spoke up

"Captain I know it's only one source but I think it'd be unwise not to move on this intel. If we leave it and those guns make their way onto the street we could be lookin' at a war."

"Agreed" Cortez said in a clipped tone "Call your guys Hondo. You're up."

"Chris, you take the roof. Street, Tan I want you on the east exit, Deacon, me, you and Luca on the north. We breach on my command. Everyone clear?" Hondo asked as their vehicle began to slow down as they approached the warehouse that Luca's C.I had directed them too.

"Crystal boss" came Street's reply accompanied as it always was with a matching smirk as Chris and Deacon nodded gravely.

"We're here!" Luca called as he pulled to a halt.

"We go on foot from here. Street our eye in the sky ready to go yet?"

"Ready when you are boss"

"Get it goin' then."

Street, ready with the drone and it's controller exited the truck followed by the rest of the team. Each person knew their job and silently sped away to their respective positions.

"Position 1 ready?" Hondo spoke into his comms and was answered by Chris's voice

"Ready"

"Position 2 ready?"

No answer.

"Position 2? Street, you good?"

"Hondo there's something weird here. The drone's not picking up anything. I'm talking no audio, no heat signatures nothin'. Place is a ghost town."

Hondo considered the information before coming to a decision.

"Ok. Ghost town or not, we do this by the book. Breach on my command. 3, 2, 1 GO!"

As Luca kicked in the door before them, he heard the same sound come from Tan and Street's position and the shattering of glass which was Chris on the roof.

"LAPD SWAT!"

"Right side clear!"

"Left side clear!"

"Room clear!"

Hondo lowered his gun and looked around.

"The hell..." he muttered.

The warehouse was deserted.

No people and more importantly no guns.

Not even an empty crate.

"What's going on Hondo?" Asked Deacon, his naturally serious face furrowed in a deep frown.

"I don't know."

"Guys!" Street called from across the space "You're gonna wanna see this!"

The team, including Chris who had made her way down from the roof, gathered round to look at what Street held in his hands.

It was a scrap of paper, with "BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME" scrawled across it. Underneath the words was a...

"Is that meant to be a pig?" Tan said as Luca growled incoherently in anger.

"Look" Chris took the paper from Street "There's something on the back..."

And she turned it over so that they could all read the words.

"Smile for the camera" read Deacon out loud and at once everyone was looking around the warehouse.

"There!" Tan spotted it first.

Up in the north east corner of the building blinked the small red light of a camera. A camera that was recording their every move.

"Shit."

"What the hell happened!?" Commander Robert Hicks yelled at the assembled team inside Cortez's office.

"We received information that the West 9 Kings were storing a large shipment of guns at the ware-"

"Well your information was bad! And now we have footage of this team making a fool of themselves all over the internet!" Hicks yelled at Hondo who clenched his jaw but did not react. Hicks scoffed and paced for a few moments before rounding back on the team and barking out

"Who's screw up was this?"

"I authorised the raid sir it's my-" Cortez began to say but Luca cut her off.

"Nah, it was my intel, my C.I. My screw up sir."

Hicks marched over to Luca and pointed up in the taller man's face

"Then you better make this right."

"Don't worry. I'm gonna." Luca said with a fire behind his eyes.

"Never seen Hicks that pissed off before" remarked Tan as he leant against the wall watching Street and Chris spar in the ring, whilst in the corner Hondo and Deacon were talking in low voices.

"Forget Hicks, any of you ever seen Luca that mad before?" Street said distractedly, but he paid for it a moment later when Chris jabbed him in the ribs.

"He feels responsible. He's mad at himself, at his C.I, at the Kings, at-" but Tan didn't get to finish his thought as a loud voice suddenly shouted

"Fuck you Luca! You best let me go!"

A moment later Luca appeared, looking grimly determined, dragging with him a girl who was cuffed but who was putting up a hell of a fight. As Luca pulled her from view Street looked from where Luca had vanished to the others and said

"What was that?"

It was Hondo who answered;

"That was Luca making it right."

Ta da!

So swat were set up! Luca is pissed and no one knows what is going on!

Let me know what you think guys!

More soon.
