A/N: So first of all I want to apologize for the lack of updating. I had originally planned on having the story finished by this weeks episode but power outages and a nasty flu had other plans for me :)

"I want in" She said defiantly

"In on what?" Boyd asked with his eyebrows raised

"I want in on the task force"

"No way! That is not happening" his tone of voice beginning to rise

"I want to be in the know about every detail concerning the operation. I want to have a say in the tactical side of things. And I want to be there when the takedown happens" Her voice was calm and unwavering.

"I can not agree to this! It's too dangerou-

"I have to agree McNally, Boyd has a point" Sgt Best interrupted.

She shot them both a look that sent shivers down their spine.

"With all due respect, Sir, you owe me this much"


Andy thought that being on the task force and knowing every single detail would make things better. She wasn't so sure about that anymore. Seeing the whole story did help her understand why Sam couldn't just quiet-hell, she wouldn't if she was in his place. But it made the wait for the end so much harder. In the 5 weeks since she had been briefed the take down had been postponed twice! She could only imagine how many delays had happened before.

"Alright folks next Friday looks like the day we've all been waiting for" Boyd's voice snapped her back to the present. She looked up at him standing at the front of the room going over the details yet again. The look in his eyes told her that he even doubted if this Friday was going to be the day. She smiled seeing that Boyd was human after-all!

"The work visas for the Ruiz's next batch of families has finally come through. Barring any holdups at customs and immigrations they should be flying in this Wednesday." He continued, "Now, we can't bust them as soon as they arrive so we'll have to wait until they are settled in their quarters and Ruiz begins making the necessary arraignments for their long term accommodations. Our intel says that because of the visa delays he's already had time to arrange the sale of most of them. That's why we are giving ourselves a 3 day window instead of the normal 2 weeks that they usually spend under his care. At the end of the day we will have to wait for the signal from our guy" He finished and turned to take his seat with the rest to discuss strategy.

Everyone in the room nodded. They were all seasoned undercover cops and were familiar with the uncertainty that was involved. Essentially, you ate, slept, and used the bathroom with your phone by your side ready to jump as soon as the time was right.


A/N: So this is a short chapter but tomorrows will be juicy :)
