Adrian was in the midst of a gun fight. While he was the best tracker, I was definitely the best shot. But we all had our areas of expertise. Lex was the info guy, Adrian, the tracker, logical thinker. I was the act now, think later. The raw talent.

It wasn't an overstatement

Adrian shot well within a few meters. I shot well at any distance. The ten people in the room were on that shiny, polished floor within three seconds. Adrian half smiled at me, then got back to business. There was little time for fluff.

Lenenberg.

We found him behind his desk, loading a small handgun. I almost laughed despite myself. What an idiot he was. He knew what we were, and he had decided against his best interest to go against our Kass. Ah, our Kass, now there is a story for another time.

I let Adrian do the honors. It ensured our future. Lex burned the videotapes, dusted our prints, but we just ended up burning the whole house. Seemed like a waste to see all that beautiful Victorian era furniture go up in flames, but the two ounces of lead in Lenenberg's noggin said otherwise.

We walked out, smiling despite ourselves. We lived for this. It helped to stretch our legs once in a while, doing what we were hand picked to do. I glanced to Lex, his brown eyes glancing toward me. His features softened when he saw my smile, and he returned a shy smirk as we continued down the long driveway. Ah, Lex, you are such a beautiful soul.

Ack, who was I kidding? He was just as bloodthirsty as I was for massacre.

"We have a problem, Kass." I said, stepping into his large corner office with dull walls and dusty, ill-worn draperies. "Someone infiltrated the intelligence. They knew we were coming." I lay the twenty page report, mostly filled with clichéd language, on his already filled desk.

"What?" His shocked look made me frown.

"There was a welcoming party of a few good men." Adrian said stoically, flanking me before him and Lex can in from another door.

"How many?"

"Twelve, thirteen including his security officers at the front"

"Did Lenenberg arm himself?" Kass replied out of slow habit.

"Lenenberg worked for the CIA, of course he was armed." I said before regretting it. Kass looked at me like he had forgotten that, but quickly covered up with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, I'll have a diagnostics team run a check through the computers. I want you, Adrian, and Lex to run through the people."

"So I have to be polite this time, Kass?"

"Not if you suspect anything."

Running through the people was always fun, but it was easy to understand how Lex despised it. Just his expression told me that he would rather break dance in the cafeteria.

"Sir, I can run through them in a day. Our doctors aren't stupid, they would have advised them to bring tasers and a horde of people, so we can rule them out. The ranking officials and primary supporters wouldn't want to see their expensive machinery damaged, so that leaves us with everyone else. I can handle it."

"Good, I'll have Adrian outside the door, just in case anyone has something up their sleeve." His grey eyes showed concern for me, as they had numerous times in the past. Which was absurd, but sweet in a tarnished way.

We nodded, turning for the door. Outside his office, Adrian and Lex split. Somehow, a subtle rivalry had emerged between them since the Alcomo. That mission, nearly two years ago, had split us up- it was hard on both of them. For me, it was freedom. Both Adrian and Lex found ways to come back to me- and then found me with Micheal.

He was an assignment, get him to fall in love, get him to dish, then dispose of him. It had seemed like an easy enough mission, and it had worked. We 'fell in love', told each other our secrets. Oops, don't tell, mine weren't genuine. But it was amazing, truth be told. I loved the thought of someone caring about me more than as a piece of equipment. My mission was successful, easy, and seemingly blissful. But it wasn't the same for Adrian and Lex.

Their jealousy was despicable, but it empowered me in ways I never knew I could have. To me, they were kin, not lovers. But the male mind twisted itself into knots. When one loved, another wanted.

But it grew old within days. They barely spoke to each other, unless it was through me. And I hated being the middle man. Surprisingly, their practice hand to hand fighting grew much more interesting to watch. I must admit, seeing two strong, handsome men slugging it out for nothing in particular was about as exciting as seeing regular humans trying to put up a fight against them.

But there was a task at hand. I followed Adrian's dark hair toward the observation room. I could feel Lex's eyes follow me, and a quirky smile found its way to my lips. I practiced my 'wanting' saunter, scaled down from 'any-time baby' to a 'Thursday-nights-and-rich-men-only hooker.

Walking in to the little observation lounge, I saw Lex turn and come back. Sweet, sweet success. I ran my hand over to door knob, lingering for a minute before Lex strolled in befind me. Adrian turned to face him for a second, his emotionless face not so obviously hiding what he felt. Then he turned back to the paperwork that had accumulated within the last few minutes..

"We've got a few hundred people to get through. You sure you don't need help?" Lex said, leaning against the frame of the doorway, crossing his arms.

""I don't suppose that you could just thank me and get on with your report. I can handle myself, bossman. I'm good."

"First guy is here." Someone poked their head into the room, intimidation crossing her face as she realized we were all in here.

"Thanks." I replied, giving her a terse smile.

"I'm sure you're 'all good'," He replied rather curtly. "But my report has already been filled and looked over by a few thousand people, thanks." He offered me another of those smirks before looking into the room.

"Have fun." Adrian said satirically. I yanked the papers out of his hand before he had a chance to tighten his grip, and gave him a cute smile.

"Thanks." I walked over to the observation room door, but stopped a second before I went in. "Oh, and guys?" I said politely as they turned their heads to focus on me. "Fix your problems, kids." I turned the doorknob and went in as I saw something flutter across their faces. This was going to be some night.
