-Midnight Rakuen

~The Day off pt. II~

A jarring sound brought Wolf to full alert, letting her know that danger didn't lurk, but something extremely annoying was intruding on her quiet rest. Pushing herself off the bed and noticed that Jensen and Cougar were gone; turning to the clock it was four in the morning. There was another crash, this time it was a little bit louder; annoyed she headed to the door, to see what in the world was going on. It had been a long day; Jensen spent most of his time on the computer. Aisha and Pooch argued over a game of cards that they played that morning; he was accusing her of cheating. Cougar had been cleaned his pistol and Sniper rifle and Wolf was relaxing, with her noise in a book; which she "borrowed" for the minimart just a few blocks up. As for Clay, he was coming and going all day; something was bothering him, and the others could tell.

Now it was four in the morning and no one should be up. Wolf slowly crept into the hallway and began to inch her way to the source of the sound. Everyone was still asleep, just like she thought. The only noise that she could hear was the sound coming from the crickets chirping outside but other than that the night was warm and calm. The night itself seemed to have a supernatural hold, it was so still and yet at the same time so was alive. Wolf came around the corner and saw someone just standing there; it was Jensen.

"Jensen what in the hell are you doing…" Wolf stepped towards the man, reaching out to grab him. "Its four in the morning come back-"

Someone suddenly grabbed her form behind, pulling her backwards. She started to scream, but a hand was placed over her mouth, muffling her cries. Wolf glanced over at Jensen; waiting for his help but all he did was just stand there.

"Un momento, por favor. (One moment please)" The familiar voice whispered in her ear.

Looking up Wolf saw Cougar standing there in the shadows. Wolf was lying against his chest. Cougar glared down at her, as if to tell her to keep quiet. Wolf was close enough to hear his heartbeats and smell his scent. He smiled musky, but in a good way, it had an earthy tone to it. Wolf couldn't help but smile blushing slightly, cause she like the way he smelled. Wolf could also feel his breath on her skin, which made her shiver; as he came closer to her face.

Cougar voice was just above a whisper. "Don't you it's dangerous to wake someone who sleepwalks?" He asked staring at her.

Wolf glanced over a Jensen; who was standing there with this blank gaze on his face. His hands where hanging loosely by his side. Jensen was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers; which had red hearts all over them. Wolf glanced back at Cougar, when he let her go. He stepped back and grinned. Cougar had been standing in the shadows silently when he grabbed her. Wolf could barely make out his figure. All she could see was the outline of his hat and the corner of his mouth lifted into a half smirk.

"How long have you guys been up?" Wolf asked as her voice lowered.

"A couple of hours." Cougar crossed his arms against his chest, propping himself against the wall.

"And he has been sleepwalking that whole entire time?" Wolf turned her attentions back to Jensen was he started to movie.

Cougar just nodded as they watched Jensen slowly dragged his feet across the floor in a sluggish manner. With the walkie-talkies in hand he walked over into the kitchen and headed for the freezer. One by one, they slowly observe Jensen place the walkie-talkies in the freezer.

"Uh… Jensen's what are you doing?" Wolf couldn't believe she was asking this question, but she couldn't resist the urge any longer.

"Noone likes to drink warm so-daa." Jensen muttered as he closed the freezer door and shuffled past them.

Wolf stood there blinking as Cougar suppressed a chuckle. They watched Jensen slowly make his way around the room; opening the closet door he pulled out a hanger and walked slowly over to them.

"Here eat this…" Jensen said as he handed the hanger to Cougar; who accepted it without thinking. "You look hungry…" He continued on but his words were incoherent. Jensen began to shuffle off but stopped and turned around staring at wolf.

Wolf arched an eyebrow, as he slowly got right up in her face. "What?" She muttered, sounding a little uneasy.

Jensen let out a big drunk smile. "I like your panda shirt." He laughed as he turned around, continuing his slow wandering.

This time Wolf could hear Cougar chuckling from the shadows. Wolf couldn't believe this was happening, as she watched Jensen walk over to the door that led into the backyard. With a soft thud, Jensen was leaning against the glass door; his eyes fixed on the dark world outside.

"Amigo, where are you going?" Cougar walked over to Jensen, making sure the door was locked.

"We're goin' to go shoppin' cart racing." Jensen muttered into the glass. "I just need to find my cape."

"It's kinda late to do that." Cougar replied as he placed his hand on Jensen's shoulder, humoring his sleepwalking friend.

"But Coug." Jensen picked his head off the glass turning to him. "I was going to have Wolf dress up as cat woman cause she is-"

Wolf's eyes widened with surprise. "Okay Jensen time for bed." She interrupted him quietly as she placed her hands on his shoulder; turning him around guiding him back to the bedroom.

"But I'm in bed," The hacker muttered. "Wat do you want me to do with the ice cream…"

Wolf rolled her eyes, ignoring the last comment as she directed the sleepwalker back to the bedroom. She only paused for a second when the Sniper passed her, murmered something in Spanish. Cougar smiled as he held opened for his friends. Wolf growled as she exhaled loudly; it was just too early for her to deal with this.

xXxXx

Clay shoved his newspaper under his arm as he came through the doorway and made his way over the coffee pot; poring himself a glass. He made his way to the table and sat down.

Clay noticed Pooch headed in the kitchen to cooking his breakfast. "Morning Pooch." He mumbled as he flipped the newspaper open.

"Mornin' Coronel." Pooch opened the fridge grabbed the egg carton, and turned on the stove top. "Eggs?" He asked holding up the skillet.

Clay just shook his head; as he turned the page. "Coffee is just fine for now."

"Can I have some please?" A velvety voice asked.

They both looked over at Wolf who was leaning over the back of the sofa. They looked surprise, because she seemed to appear out of nowhere. Clay seemed more shocked because he knew for a fact that within the short weeks of Wolf being with the team she was always the last person to ever wake up.

Pooch cracked the eggs on the skillet; they started sizzling. "How long have you been lyin' there?" He asked as he began to scramble them.

"Since seven." Wolf replied as she walked over to the tabled and sat down. She had a cup of coffee in hand.

"Why?" Clay mumbled from behind his paper.

"Couldn't sleep I had a long night." Wolf stared down at her coffee cup.

Aisha came into the room, sitting down next to Clay. "Is that so?" She could hear the conversation from down the hall.

Wolf just nodded her head, taking sips of her coffee. Pooch quietly sat down on the other side of Clay, with both plates in hand. He slid her plate over to her and started eating.

Pooch shoveled a couple mouthfuls of eggs in his mouth. "What happened?" He asked after he swallowed.

Wolf who was poking the eggs with her fork paused before looking up at them. The three were all focused on her, wanting to know happened last night. Even Aisha who was half listening in on the conversation was now interested. Wolf sighed before placing down her fork. She opened her mouth for a moment but didn't say anything; she looked like she was trying to figure out how to explain it.

"I caught Jensen doing it last night." Wolf said simply pointing to the freezer.

Clay started chucking behind his newspaper and as Pooch chocked on his eggs. Aisha sat there in disbelief, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Shit… really?" Pooch asked once he stopped coughing. He pushed himself from the tabled and headed over to the freezer. "Damn… what did he say?" Pooch asked staring into the freezer at the half frozen walkie-talkies.

"Something about warm soda." Wolf replied as she started eating again.

Pooch was laughing by now when he placed the walkie-talkies on the table. Aisha grumbled under her breath, as she started brushing the frost of them one by one.

Pooch continued eating his eggs, and looked up at Wolf. "Did you think we were jokin' with yah?"

"I was hoping you were." Wolf wasn't as hungry after all as she pushed her plate to the side, laying her head on the table. "I defiantly wasn't expecting that."

Clay looked up from his paper when Cougar came into the room. Cougar slid down quietly in the seat next to Wolf. "So Jensen was wandering again?" He asked Cougar.

Cougar just nodded then he looked down at the plate and then over to Wolf; as if asking if it was hers. Wolf just returned his stare, nodding. Aisha noticed this; she has seen this many times before, but how could Wolf catch on the easy.

"Go head, Cougar." Wolf said as she sat up sipping her coffee. "And no, I'm not that hungry as I thought I was and my jaw is bothering me."

Cougar just smirked; picking up the fork and began eat. He paused looking over to Wolf again, cocking a half smile. Wolf saw this stopping in mid sip. The others started laughing, as Wolf nearly spit out her drink. Aisha looked confused.

"You're such a pervert; I didn't mean it that way." Wolf said as she started whipping the corners of her mouth, with a napkin. "You're almost as bad a Jensen."

Cougar just shrugged, as he started chuckling to himself.

"He didn't say anything." Aisha waved her hands in the air. "It bugs the crap out of me that the fact that you guys talk for him to him." She turned her attention to Cougar. "Why the hell do you let 'em do that?" Aisha asked now wanting to know.

"Cause its funny." Cougar let out a wicked grin.

Aisha began to rub her forehead; as Cougar remark sent the group into a harder laugh. Pooch sighed as he got up from the table, placing his plate in the sink.

"Aisha, just chill." Pooch said as he sat back down at the table. "I mean you been with us for how long now, and you still don't get it?"

"No," Aisha turned to him. "But how did she pick up on that so quickly?" She was pointing to Wolf; who was bent over snickering.

"It's easy." Wolf replied as she slowed down her breathing. "It's all about reading the body language."

"Reading body language?" Jensen asked as he sat down in the only chair that was left. "Sounds kinda kinky."

"Unless you call reading Cougar's body language kinky." Aisha crossed one leg over the other.

"Oh… no…" Jensen's eyes fluttered to the ground. "But then there are tons of animals that actually talk using body language." He paused, as the group sighed. They smiling, letting the kid talking for once. "Wolves for example use nothing but body language, along with a sorted howls and yips." Jensen turned to Wolf who was half listening. "Maybe that's why you can picked up on it faster than Aisha… After all Wolf is part Wolf, yah know."

Wolf just smiled, it was true after all. The other just shook their head as they listen to the young hacker rant on. After a while Wolf managed to pull herself way from the conversation she head to the bathroom to take a shower. When Wolf got out of the shower and dressed she found everyone gathered around the small table, staring at folder; talking amidst themselves.

"What did I miss?" Wolf asked as she stretched her arms above her head.

The group got silent as the turned to her; Clay could help but smile. Everyone had there attention on Wolf then turned to Clay, who was scratching his chin.

"Do you think she can do it?" Aisha asked as she eyeballed Wolf up and down.

"Yeah," Clay simply replied as he approached Wolf. "If not, she gets shot."

"Wait, g-get shot!" Wolf was utterly lost. "And what do you want me to do?"

"You're going to do a solo mission." Clay patted her on the shoulder. "I believe you can do it."

xXxXx

"Okay do you want me to repeat it again?" Clay asked as turning himself around to face Wolf who was sitting in the back in between the hacker and the Sniper.

Wolf was staring out the window of the Hummer watching the trees zip by. The sun was just begging to set over the tree line; they have been driving on the remote road for the past few hours. Clay found a lead that Max had been selling a number of firearms in the next county over; and he wanted to shut it down for good. It didn't take long for the group to find the compound. It was located smack dab in the middle of the woods. The Hummer came around the bend in the dirt road, as bit of rocks pinged off the underbelly.

"Have you been payin' attention?" Pooch eyes darted to the rearview mirror then back to the road.

"Yeah," Wolf brushed him off quickly.

Clay frowned and reached back hitting Wolf in the knees slightly with the folder. Wolf jumped, turning with her full attention on Clay.

"I'll go over this one more time." Clay opened the folder. "Max has been selling guns in this county. The guns which he had been selling were used in numerous bank robberies. Why he is selling these guns, we don't know but one thing is that for sure that it can't be good."

"Then should the police be taking care of this?" Wolf asked as she rubbed her knees.

"Normally they would," Clay flipped a page in the folder. "That's if Max wasn't paying them off to look the other way."

Wolf's blood began to boil; it wouldn't be the first time that Max paid someone else to do his dirty work for him. Whatever Max was getting for the trading of guns it couldn't be good.

Pooch pulled the Hummer off the main road, heading into the bushes. After a few minutes the Hummer rolled to a stop in a small clearing, the wheels crushing roots and bushes beneath it weight. Everyone unloaded from the Hummer and gathered their gear.

"Jensen what direction is it in?" Clay asked turning to the hacker.

Jensen pulled out a small computer, clicked around on it. "From the satellite maps that you asked me to pull this mornin'…" He said never taking his eyes from the monitor. "It looks to be 'bout one mile away, 15 degree due north."

"How about the infrared…" Clay asked walking over to the hacker. "What's the body count?"

"Maybe 'bout six guards." Jensen scratched his head, before running his hand through his short spiked blond hair.

"Alright then, head north, COMM links on." Clay ordered, switching his COMM on.

"Are you sure I can do this?" Wolf asked as she adjusted her COMM. "I mean sure I had training; with close combat and knives. But all I ever did outside of that was either decoy or scouting ahead. I never honed my firearms skill… I mean all I did was blow shit up." She was looking over Clay's general direction.

Clay approached her slightly; he knew that she was nervous. He could tell by the sound of her voice, that she never did a solo mission in her entire life. "I'm sure you can kid." He put his hand on her shoulder. "You'll do just fine.

The group headed out single row towards the compound. Cougar and Wolf were in front, followed by Clay and Aisha as Pooch and Jensen brought up the rear. They quietly walked through the thick brush, climbing over fallen trees and rocks. They moved through the forest like a ghost; the only sound that they could hear was the sound of a far off distance owl.

After walking for about 25 minutes they came to the compound; it was surrounded by a barbwire fence. After the cost is clear Cougar signaled to move out. The group quietly ran along the fence line, until they found an ideal fallback point. They got settled in as Cougar propped up his gun on a rock. Aisha and Pooch watched their back making sure that they wouldn't get flanked from behind.

"Is Wolf's collar on?" Clay asked referring to the GPS chip that Jensen was panting on her COMM.

Jensen fiddled with the COMM for a moment. "Collared and tagged." He said as he turned to his small computer and synced the microchip. "That sounds kinda kinky." Jensen smiled, looking up to the others.

Everyone just rolled their eyes, but they knew it was Jensen way of cracking small jokes just to calm himself down before a mission.

"She's up and runnin'." Jensen's figures flew across the small keyboard.

Clay just nodded his head. "Pooch cut the wires." He singled to him.

Rushing up to the fence, Pooch pulled out small pair of wire cutters; proceeding to cut a small whole in the fence big enough for Wolf to fit through. Clay turned around looking for Wolf but she was no longer there; his eyes darted around looking for her. The others also noticed that she was missing. Jensen glanced down at the screen; she wouldn't have disappeared, her GPS chip told him that she was standing near them.

"Wolf!" Clay hissed into the COMM. "Where in the hell are you?"

Something suddenly rushed passed him; it was Wolf. Running at full speed she ran up the side of a tree, back flipping over the fence; her back barely cleared the barbwires. There was no sound as she landed on the other side. She flipped her hair back as she stood up.

Jensen walked up to the fence, opening his mouth to say something. Wolf arched her eyebrow. Before Jensen could get out a word, Cougar interrupted him.

"Be safe amigo." The Spaniard smiled, tilting his hat.

Jensen glared over at Cougar, who just returned his stare. Wolf shook her head rolling her eyes.

"On my mark, get in and out, 20 mins." Clay gazed down at his watch. "Three… two… one… mark!"

They watched Wolf silently creep away; she kept low to the ground and moved without a sound. Wolf slipped around the corner and Cougar moved out. Changing positions he moved quietly from his spot, following Wolf around with his scope. The others settled down into their location; as Jensen and Clay watched Wolf's moment on the computer.

xXxXx

Wolf stalked the shadows quietly; as she took the first three guards out. Covering their mouths with the chloroform soaked rag, that she had been caring. Wolf was in the zone; as she inched around the place, keeping out of sight and sound. Even though it was a full moon, the jagged branches from the sounding forest almost to blocked out what little light there was around the compound.

A guard came around the corner as Wolf pressed herself against the wall. Watching him walk by she grabbed a pipe and swung. The pipe came crashing down on the back of his head; he instantly collapsed, blacking out. Wolf grabbed him by the ankles, dragging him out of sight; then she headed around another corner.

"Much do you wanna bet she gets shot?" Aisha whispered over the COMM. "I got 50 dollars saying that she gets shot."

Clay just grunted through the COMM but he didn't say anything.

"Oh, let me in on some of that action." Pooch was always looking for a way to make cheep money. "But put me down for half and half."

"You're bettin' against Wolf?" Jensen adjusted his COMM. "You're soo gonna lose this bet. Put me down for not getting shot."

"Do you even have the money this time?" Aisha asked indication towards Jensen.

Wolf rolled her eyes as she turned another corner; gazing towards the fall back point that was clearly in view. "As much at love hearing you guys bet on my life…" She whispered into the COMM. "Can we talk about something a little more positive?"

Suddenly a guard came around the corner; Wolf froze in mid-step. Before the guard could even say a word or even raise his gun there was a Yapboom. The guard dropped, to his knees; as the blood began to oozed from the neatly place bullet wound stuck between his eyes.

Wolf was relieved inside. "Thanks Coug." She whispered.

"De nada (You're welcome)." Cougar murmured as he watched her through his scope.

"You wanna be a little more cautious now?" Clay mumbled through COMM, he obviously sounded a little pissed off at Wolf.

"No interfering Cougar." Aisha snapped, she sounded upset also; but Wolf knew that they were only joking.

"It slipped." The Spaniard simply replied, chuckling.

Wolf slipped in and out of the shadows smacking the next two guards in the back of the head. She left them were they fell unconscious on the ground. Wolf smiled to herself as she admired her work stepping over the bodies. She headed towards the fairest building of compound, where the guns were located. Wolf sighed as she pushed open the doors.

"Looks like someone owns someone-" Wolf's words halted when she heard the sound of a gun cocking behind her.

Turning around she stared down the barreled of a gun; her eyes followed it up and stared at the man that was holding it. The man stood there with a confident smile on his face.

"Max says that curiosity killed the cat…" The man chuckled, as he grinned malevolently. "…and it can skin the wolf too."

Wolf's eyes widen with fear, he knew who she was. She could hear Clay's voice yelling her name at her through the COMM; but it seemed so far. The man smiled, pulling the trigger.

xXxXx

"Wolf… Wolf!" Clay barked through the COMM. "WOLF RESPOND!"

Clay rushed over to the hacker and his computer; nearly shoving Jensen out of the way. Staring down at the small computer Wolf never moved. They head Wolf suddenly stop talking, and glanced at each other; they knew that she had spotted. The sounds of gunshot echoed the silent night, followed by several more. Jensen and Cougar were already over the fence before Clay could even give an order.

Clay's irritation switched from the mission going south to the hacker. He knew for a fact that Wolf was unarmed and cursed himself for even letting her go in without a gun. "I thought you said there was only six!" He was over the fence with gun drawn as Pooch and Aisha landed next to him.

"Yah, but one must have been hiding in the building." Jensen replied as he and Cougar took off running to were Wolf was last located.

"Where's you gun, Jensen?" Pooch asked as he caught up to the hacker.

"Back at the hotel!" Jensen replied in between the gasps of air.

They saw the building with the open door; the light from inside flooded the surrounding area. The group came around the corner guns drawn from their holsters. Their eyed darted around the room as they covered each other making sure that there was no one else. It looked like there was a huge struggled; a couple of tables were knocked over along with a broken glass. Their eyes fell on Wolf who was standing in the middle of the room petrified, clutching a gun. A man lay in front of her dead; as a pool a blood began to from under him.

"Damn…" Pooch said as he walked over to the body. "She fucked 'em up."

The others relaxed slightly. The man had several bullet wholes in his chest; as the blood began seeping through his clothes. Cougar and Jensen were especially relived that no harm was brought to Wolf. Clay arched his eyebrow when he noticed their reaction.

"He-He he…" Wolf stammered as she started shaking.

"I know… I know," Clay came up beside her; slowly taking the gun from her hand. "First time shooting a gun, huh?"

Wolf just nodded her head; she was in shock to what happened. Without saying a word Clay glanced over at Jensen and Cougar, nodding. They turned to Wolf, leading her out of the building. Clay looked down at the gun rested in his hand. It was a chromed brushed Desert Eagle, mark XIX .50 action express. It had the words "Wildcard," Engraved on its side. Clay turned his attentions to the others.

"Take what we need…" Clay grumbled, squeezing the bridge of his nose to ward off the sudden headache. "… and burn the rest."

Pooch and Aisha nodded and started gathering ammunitions for everyone; stuffing a couple of bags full. Then they started throw gasoline all over the place. They lit a match and threw it into the gasoline. The flames flickered and grew; as it slowly engulfed the place. Pooch, Aisha and Clay walked away from the fire and headed back to the Hummer where the others were waiting for them.

xXxXx

Back at the apartment, everyone was carrying on there nightly routine. It had been a long car ride back; Wolf hadn't said a word since they left the compound. They understood thought; the first time killing someone was always the hardest. Pooch and Aisha were quietly playing a game of Black Jack. Jensen was back to hacking the hard drive. Cougar was sitting in a chair, cleaning his sniper rifle. They both paused every now and then; tossing worried glances to Wolf, who was sitting outside in the backyard.

Clay was sitting on the couch, sipping his beer, when he suddenly got up and headed to the backyard. Everyone watched in silence as he closed the glass door behind him. Wolf didn't even look up at Clay as he sat down in the lawn chair next to her. They both sat there, gazing out at the horizon without saying a word to each other.

"Does it get any easer over time?" Wolf asked suddenly.

Clay rubbed his eyes before he said anything. "I'm not going to lie to you," He turned to her. "It's not easy taking someone life."

Wolf gazed over at him and for the first time Clay realized that she only looked a couple of years older than Jensen. Her eyes were watery but she wasn't crying.

"I mean… never really had to watch someone ever bleed to de…" Wolf's voiced trailed off, as she tried to find the right words. "All I did was made bombs, I mean sure I killed some people before… knives were at least quick; but I never had to watch some bleed to death from a gunshot wound. To hear them struggling for air as their lungs filled with blood…" She got quiet again.

Clay looked down to the ground. "You did the right thing, kid. Its better him than you." He reached into his pocked and pulled out a photo.

Wolf took the photo when Clay handed it to her. It was a picture of a little child; he looked to be about five years old or younger. Wolf handed the photo back to Clay looking confused.

"His parents were killed in one of those bank robberies." Clay said as he placed the photo back in his pocket. "If you can prevent someone else from getting hurt, then you do it."

Wolf considered what he said, as the words stuck her to the core. "No one deserves to be felt alone in this world…" She said there was so pain behind her voice. "…but no one deserves to die either."

"Well take this into thought then," Clay turned around, pointing to the others behind the glass.

Wolf followed his gazed; the others were watching closely. Pooch and Aisha were just smiling as Jensen was waving at her, leaning back so far in his chair that he nearly fell out. Cougar glanced over at Jensen and started chuckling, and then he glanced back at Wolf, giving her a little smirk. Wolf smiled as she started giggling, then she turned back to Clay.

"No one deserves to leave left behind alone." Clay just sat there smiling at her.

"Not even a bunch of losers?" Wolf questioned smiling back at him.

Clay chuckled when he heard her say the word 'Losers'. "Not even a bunch of Losers." He tilted his drink before taking a sip.
