Sorry for the wait. I've been extremely busy. Please try to ignore any serious mistakes, I am currently on cold medicine, but I figured you guys have waited long enough for a new chapter. So here it is. Hope you guys like it.

Chapter 4

Miami, Florida

Sacnite wiped at her forehead again to remove some of the perspiration that had gathered there. Miami was hotter than she last remembered, but it was definitely beautiful. She was sitting in the backseat behind Clay and Roque in a hideous yellow car that Clay kept insisting was an American classic. From what she knew of American cars she'd much rather be in a classic Mustang than the piece of crap there were in now – it didn't even have a working air conditioner.

"All right," Roque drew her attention and his out stretched hand prompted her to place the small glass cylinder she'd been fidgeting with in his hand. "Here we go."

Roque opened the front door and leaned out to get a clear shot at the not so inconspicuous black SUV and the police convoy that surrounded the reinforced truck at the center. It only took him a second to line up a straight shot and the green filled glass dart struck the SUV a little ahead of the driver side door.

"Good shot," Clay commented as he pulled the car away from the curb they'd parked near. "You sure this concoction is going to work?" He directed at Sacnite.

She nodded her head assuredly. "I'm positive, it's a relatively simple combination of herbs that, when combined with each other, create a violent reaction. I had to separate the two different mixtures and when you push the button on the control, there is a latch in the tube that release and –"

"Alright! We get it, enough with the toxic talk." Roque muttered, "You're just like Jensen."

Sacnite quickly snapped her mouth shut as Clay chuckled and glared at the back of the black man's head – he was getting on her nerves more and more. And no one made fun of her work with herbs; those who usually did experience it first hand on the receiving end of some not do fun herbal payback. Just wait 'til Roque wanted another cup of coffee; she had herbs that would be practically tasteless under the strong coffee beans.

Happy with the thoughts of her future payback she folded her arms and sat back against the seat and watched as the lead vehicles of the convoy seemed to suddenly experience mini explosions under their hoods. Damn, she thought watching as mass chaos began, Cougar has a nice shot.

Well more than a nice shot, but she was not going to go there again. She was already more than frustrated by the lack of satisfaction from their little make out session a few nights ago and the last thing she needed was to get all worked up again now.

"This'll wake 'em up." Clay said as he pulled a mini launcher from the back seat.

Sacnite leaned forward to watch as the gas can detonated and the men in the convoy began pulling on their gas masks. The gas wasn't one of her concoctions, because if it had been then the gas released from the container would have knocked anyone who inhaled a few breaths of it to their asses.

The distant sound of an approaching helicopter reached her ears and Sacnite leaned forward a little more to get a better look at the rear SUV that had her dart stuck in it. It was time to see her little creation do its job. The best part of her job.

Gun fire broke out as Pooch and Aisha neared the heavy armored truck. None of the hand guns or smaller AK's that they had would do much damage to the copter that Pooch had gone over to reinforce, but Sacnite nudged Roque to activate explosive still. She didn't want there to be an off chance that one of those many bullets did find a weak spot – Pooch had grown on her over the last few days and she wanted the duck-tape obsessed man to make it out of this operation in one piece.

Roque shooed her hand away and pulled out the control device Jensen had rigged up for the purpose of releasing the explosive mixture she had created a few days prior. Clay, Roque and Sacnite all turned their attention to the SUV where the dart was and watched with rapt attention as Roque pushed the button activating the chemicals.

The SUV was propelled in the air, its metal body in gulfed in flames as the chemicals worked perfectly. Sacnite whooped in triumph as the burning vehicle fell back to earth with a screech and a crunch.

"Hell yes!" She pumped her fist a little, more than ecstatic to see her little potion work so flawlessly.

"Hohooh God!" She could hear Roque and Clay laugh as they watched the scene too. They slapped hand with each other and Sacnite felt her chest swell at the knowledge they were just as impressed with her creation.

"That," Clay said leaning down so he could see her in the back, "That was fantastic." At his praise she smiled widely, accepting his ruffle to her hair as Jensen jogged up to the car.

"Freaking awesome!" He said as Clay pulled the seat forward for the techie to squeeze into the back. He gave her a high five, looking like a kid that'd just seen his first action movie. His smile was as big, if not more so, than hers.

"Why thank you." She replied sitting back in her seat again, feeling elated at their success and the thought that she was proving her worth on this mission.

As they maneuvered the car away from the scene of the "accident" Clay pulled out the walkie-talkie that each team had and asked for an update on Pooch's status. The affirmative from Pooch was given with slight frustration and Sacnite could only assume that it was from Aisha, but the important part was that they had Max.

Clay pulled the car behind one of the taller buildings and Roque stepped out and pulled his seat forward. A few seconds later Cougar effortlessly slid in and took his seat beside Sacnite. Instantly she tensed her body, trying to keep from touching any part of him. His very presence seemed to be enough to make her body heat though, as she felt her thighs clench.

He didn't seem to mind touching her, and proved so as he got comfortable in the squished back seat. His arm brushed hers and then his thigh; she quivered with both desire and frustration since she was pretty sure he did it on purpose. Her thoughts were confirmed when she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw the smirk on his face. Frowning she didn't look at him the entire drive back to their warehouse, but it didn't matter, her body was more than aware of him already.

…..

By the time they'd reached the warehouse Pooch successfully landed the helicopter and gotten the armored truck brought into the building. As soon as the boys stepped out of the car Pooch approached with news that someone named Wade had been at the sight of the mission – new that apparently shocked the four other men.

"Who is he?" Aisha asked what Sacnite was thinking.

"Ran Gorilla Opts with him." Pooch said, "Let's just say he's a bad man."

Aisha looked at the men around her as did Sacnite, their eyes met and for a moment the two women shared a sense of confusion with each other. "I thought you were bad men?"

"He's worse." Sacnite's eyes darted to Cougar standing beside her. The thought of men worse than the ones she'd witnessed high jack a government helicopter was hard to imagine. But before she or Aisha could question further Roque drew the attention back to the armored truck that house the "evil genius" they were after.

As Aisha showed off her acrobatic skills and jumped atop the armored truck Sacnite stood back from the group, her hands in her jeans pocket rubbing a small vile of powder that she made up earlier in the day for this very reason. The powder was a mix of a few different dried plants that when blown into someone's face and inhaled would leave them temporarily blind and a little light headed or, if enough of it was administered, totally unconscious.

Her body tensed in anticipation for a fight as Aisha attached the hose of gasoline to the top of the truck and Clay prepared to open the back doors. As soon as the metal contraption holding the doors shut was taken off the doors flung open and a squad of armed – though not the most intelligent – men stormed out.

Their full military gear was damp with the gas Aisha had released and the lead man even had to wipe his visor as it dripped onto his face. But even that didn't stop the man from giving Clay the option to get down on the ground, or have his head blown off by the guy's flash muzzle gun.

Yeah, Sacnite shook her head silently, definitely the empty bullet in the magazine.

Thankfully Clay quickly enlightened the squad to their situation as he played with a lighter. It took the leader a second, but he finally caught on and ordered his team to put his weapons down. As soon as they had they lowered the guns the men hiding to the side of the truck rushed forward and hit everyone except the leader with the same tranquilizers that they'd used on the helicopter crew days before.

Sacnite finally let some of the tension out of her body and pulled her hands from her pockets. She watched as Clay questioned the squad leader and once again tensed as the situation took an unexpected turn.

The man had no idea who Max was and, after he too was tranquillized, all firearms immediately were directed at Aisha. Even Sacnite pulled the hand held she'd tucked behind her back and watched the scene warily. She'd never trusted Aisha, but that didn't mean she'd thought the woman would be stupid enough to try and jerk around the men surrounding her.

Clay stood in front of Aisha, who wisely wasn't trying to do anything stupid for once, and stared her down as Jensen and Cougar opened the secure metal case that was in the armored car. Sacnite moved closer as Jensen pulled out a sleek hard-drive from Goliath – even she'd heard of the famous company.

"Tire her up." Clay commanded nodding toward Roque and Sacnite. "See if we can get anything from the hard-drive that can help us find Max." With that he shook his head and walked out of the warehouse.

Sacnite grabbed some rope from the make shift tables they'd set up in the warehouse and approached the Bolivian woman as Roque kept his gun trained on her. She shook her head and pulled Aisha's arms behind her back, not really caring as the woman winced.

"You are even more foolish than I thought." She muttered with a small amount of disgust. Aisha didn't say anything. Other than a side long glance at Sacnite she kept her stare trained straight ahead of her.

"Let's bring her outside." Roque said grabbing Aisha's arm and roughly dragging her from the interior of the warehouse.

Sacnite turned and met Cougar's gaze, both of them not quite understanding what the Bolivian woman could gain from her betrayal, but at the same time neither was completely surprised by it in the least.

"Come on," Sacnite said turning away from the silent sniper, "Don't want to miss all of the excitement."

Please review to let me know how I'm doing. Thanks!
