"What do you think you're doing Gin?" The voice echoed around the warehouse from Vermouths phone, the voice of Rum sounding annoyed and powerful over the tiny speaker.

"Getting rid of some vermin." Gin said his gun never moving from Kir and Bourbon who looked just as confused as Gin felt at the sudden call from Rum right before they were about to be killed.

"Getting yourself into trouble more like." Rum said sharply making Gin's eyes narrow.

"What do you mean sir?" Vodka asked looking confused and a bit alarmed.

"Mind telling me why you authorized the execution of three of my best spies and are trying to kill two more of them? Vermouth release Kir and Bourbon immediately." Rum ordered Vermouth who set her phone on a nearby crate and obediently moved to release the cuffs.

"Just play along." Vermouth hissed to the two of them as she began picking the lock since Gin wasn't handing over the key.

"Your spies?" Gin asked his eyes flickering to the phone at that part while Vodka paled a bit.

"Stout, Aquavit, Riesling, Kir, and Bourbon are all working as spies for me in different government organizations. Curacao was stealing information to see who was discovered and who wasn't by the governments. Those five were undiscovered spies working for me when she sent the mail to you by accident during the incident on the Rainbow Bridge. Now thanks to you not even bothering to verify the information with me first, three of my best spies are dead and you're attempting to execute two more of them!" Rum snapped over the phone causing Kir and Bourbon to give each other alarmed looks.

"You're one of his spies too!?" They demanded of each other, channeling their shock that Rum was helping them to make it seem as if they had never known that the other was spy for the second in command.

"For their own safety none of my spies were aware of each other. Gin you are on a very thin leash for acting on your own as you had which resulted in three good and loyal agents deaths. Vermouth what is the condition of Kir and Bourbon?" Rum asked causing the trained actress to assess the two of them with her eyes for a moment as if trying to look for anymore faults before she nodded and grabbed her phone back up.

"Kir has a gunshot wound to the shoulder that was a through and through thankfully. She's not bleeding enough for it to have hit anything vital. Aside from a bump on the head, Bourbon is fine." Vermouth reported almost immediately and earning a small hum from Rum.

"Get her medical attention and give them back their phones so they can keep their covers. Gin, you and Vodka are being ordered back to base immediately." Rum ordered causing Vermouth to nod silently as she began to hand the two agents their phones and let Kir lean on her slightly until they got to her car where she had a medical kit.

"What?" Gin demanded angrily as he glared at the phone.

"Are you disobeying a direct order Gin?" Rum demanded and Gin noticed that as soon as he had said those words Vermouth had her gun out and aimed at him while Vodka looked hesitant but had pulled his gun as well.

"No sir." Gin said through his clenched teeth before he turned and stormed out of the warehouse, Vodka right behind him.

"And my orders?" Vermouth asked looking at her phone and wondering what her grandson was planning.

"Once you get them patched up and they are able to let the CIA and PBS know that they're okay and their covers are intact take them to point Theta. Curacao and I will meet you there." Rum ordered making Vermouth's eyebrow shoot upwards towards her hair line.

"Theta? Are you sure we can trust them that much?" Vermouth asked looking at her phone intensely and hoping like hell her grandson had a plan for this.

"Yes. We're going to need their help and by having them proclaimed as my spies they'll be protected from any backlash should one of the other members notice how strange they are acting or that they're reporting to government agents." Rum said making Vermouth frown heavily but trust her grandson. He almost never did things without a reason, and if he was doing this then that means that he has a plan of some type.

"I'll see you there then. Make sure you let Curacao protect you since even with those gadgets of yours you aren't anywhere near your former level of strength." Vermouth said earning a sigh from across the line but it seemed more exasperatedly fond than anything else.

"You act like she'd do anything else? We both know how protective she gets of me, and given the circumstances she'll be worse now than usual." Rum said making Vermouth smirk slightly as she helped Kir limp towards her car while Bourbon supported the womans other side. Sure she wasn't bleeding much but if she didn't stop the blood flow soon she was probably going to pass out.

"Just don't do something that ends up making me a great-grandmother." Vermouth teased with a grin and causing Kir and Bourbon's eyes to widen as they gaped at her in disbelief while there was a furious spluttering from the other end of the line.

"Baa-chan!" Rum whined, sounding like a little kid, as Vermouth laughed a bit.

"Don't be so embarrassed kiddo. Just don't do something that gets her arrested, you aren't in your usual body after all." Vermouth said as she deposited Kir in the passenger seat of her car, moving back towards the trunk to get the first aid kit that looked more like a fully stocked field supply bag for a war.

"I hate you so much sometimes baa-chan." Rum said making Vermouth grin wider. The poor kid should know that he'd never win against her.

"I love you too little bastard." Vermouth said earning a snort from Rum.

"Mom and dad were married thank you." Rum said before the phone disconnected while the two undercover NOCs stared at Vermouth in disbelief and shock.

"You…You're a grandmother? To Rum of all people?" Bourbon asked in disbelief as he gaped at the rather young looking woman.

"You'll find out a lot in a little while when we get to Theta point and meet up with the others. For your own sakes don't react violently around Rum. If I don't kill you then Curacao will." Vermouth warned the two of them as she began to patch up Kir's shoulder with practiced ease and the gentle touch of a mother.

"There. We just need to get some orange juice into you and you should be alright. Luckily there's always orange juice stocked at Theta for Rum." Vermouth said fretting slightly over the girl who looked a lot like Yukiko had at that age and had helped her grandson more than once, even if Kir hadn't been aware of it at the time.

"Why should we trust you? How do we know this isn't a trap?" Bourbon asked tensely as he slid into the backseat and clicked in his seatbelt while texting his boss and Yuya to let them know that he was alright and his cover was maintained.

"Oh cool it Amuro. You know my grandson. You even help him at times. Just wait and see." Vermouth said as she slid into the drivers seat and started the car.

'I hope you have a plan for this Shin-chan.'
