Jai had enhanced the surveillance footage and was able to obtain the license plate to the vehicle Ollerman had taken Standish in and was working to track it's movements by GPS and traffic cameras.
"You two need to get some rest." Susan told Will, seeing that he was exhausted.
"I'm not going anywhere until we find Standish" he said stubbornly.
"Susan's right Will, you need to be in top shape to take on Ollerman again. That son of a bitch is like a super villan" Ray said. "Oh my God he's Thanos!" Ray said in sudden realization.
"Well I'm Captain America and my team of Avengers Is about to bring a world of pain to him" Will said bitterly.
"Wow I've never been so turned on in my entire life" Frankie said eyeing Will teasingly.
"Come on" he said.
"I thought it was Awesome!" Ray said excitedly. "Come on you guys how can you not be into Avengers?" he said to Susan and Frankie.
"Deadpool is more my style" Frankie said, causing Will to smile for the first time since they found out about Standish.
"Accurate" he agreed.
"I could definitely use a nap. Call with any news?" Frankie said.
"Ofcourse" Susan agreed.
"Okay fine" Will relented and they left together.
"Wanna come to my place?" he asked once they were outside.
She raised an eyebrow at him
"To sleep Perv. God you're always trying to get in my pants" he teased and walked ahead of her as she stood there with her mouth open.
"Make yourself at home I'm gonna grab a quick shower" he said heading off to the bathroom.
When he came back she was fast asleep fully clothed in his bed. He smiled and covered her with a blanket before carefully slipping under the bedspread she was laying on top of. He snapped a quick selfie to taunt her with later.
He fell asleep soon after contented with sharing his bed with the girl of his dreams.
Frankie woke up to the vibrating of her phone. It was Jai summoning her.
She glanced at Will and couldn't help but smile because he grins even in his sleep. Who knew resting smile face was a real thing. She leaned over and softly brushed her lips over his. She slipped out quietly without disturbing him.
He woke up a while later and discovered she was gone. He worried that she had freaked out when she woke up in his bed. He reached for his phone to text her but decided against it. He got ready and headed back to the Dead Drop, expecting to see her there. He knew better than to push her, especially since they hadn't even established what their relationship was.
He got to the bar and was surprised to find only Susan there. "Hey where is everybody?" he asked.
"Isn't Frankie with you?" she asked, confused.
"No, I mean she came back to my place and we had a nap but she was gone when I woke up" he said.
"Oooh was it a sexy nap?" she asked teasing him.
"I don't think that's a thing" he laughed.
"Yeah that was a fail but you know what I mean" she said dying to know.
"We just slept Susan. But speaking of which where's your boy toy?" he asked
"Ugh I hate that" she said making a face.
"So much" he agreed with a laugh
"He got called in for a meeting" she explained.
He nodded "Good hopefully it's good news. What about Jai? I figured he would be busy designing some kind of explosive edible robot tracker thingamajig to take Ollerman out when he bites into a brownie or something"
"I'm sure he is but he left a little while after you guys. Said he wanted to get cleaned up and pack in case we need to travel" she said
Ray came in devoid of his usual enthusiasm, causing them to be concerned.
"What is it?" Will asked. Susan reached for Rays arm as he sat down beside her.
"We are standing down" he announced.
"The hell we are" Will said angrily, standing up to pace.
"Frankie and Jai are gone Will. They got clearance for a kill mission. They're going to kill Ollerman and with any luck also save Standish" Ray explained.
"No" Will said shaking his head. "Frankie would have told me. We're partners. We're a team, we're….well I don't know what we are" he said frustrated.
"I don't understand. How could they do this without you knowing?" Susan asked Ray.
"We're operating as a team but we don't officially exist. They work for the CIA and this mission is CIA endorsed. We're out of it. I'm sorry guys, I don't like it either. That asshole shot me AND tried to scramble my brain into a horrifically painful death"
Just then Will's phone went off. It was a text telling them to go into the back and play a video on the tablet.
"There's something we need to see" he told them and they headed to the back.
Frankie and Jai appeared on the screen.
"Hey guys by now you know that we have sort of gone rogue" Jai said smiling. "This is kind of awkward so I'll just say we are going to get Standish and we will see you soon. Love you guys" he said honestly. "Frankie, your turn" he said turning it over to her with a little wave before exiting the frame.
"I bet you guys aren't all that surprised by this. I mean if anybody was going to double cross the team I bet everyone's money would be on me" she joked. "I know you're probably mad, Will I'm definitely talking to you. Just trust us though, I know that's a big word for you" she smiled. "This is the way it had to be on this one. Anyway I know you know this but we won't be in touch until it's over so we'll just see you on the other side of this" she said and ended the video.
"That's it? Trust you huh? Like you trusted us?" Will huffed angrily.
"Give us a minute" Susan said to Ray
Ray nodded and turned to go without protest.
"He can stay. I meant what I said in Prague, We're all good" Will said.
Ray smiled gratefully but stayed quiet, letting Susan talk.
"It's okay to feel whatever you're feeling right now"
"Well right now angry and scared are having one hell of a cage match to see who's going to come out on top" he said.
"Frankie would kick your ass if she heard you say you are scared for her. She's a total bad ass that can handle herself" she said.
"I know she's tough, she's the toughest person I know but that doesn't mean Ollerman couldn't get the drop on her. He's good"
"But she's better and this time she isn't going to be playing by the rules" Ray interjected. "Alex may call us for help" he smiled at the thought.
"I can't lose her" Will said.
"I know" Susan said hugging him comfortingly.
"Since we have been sidelined, I think the only thing to do here is get blitzed" Ray said pulling out a bottle.
