Lissa and Billy walk down the street of downtown New Orleans. The streets, even during the day, were normally filled with tourists and full of life. Today not many walk the streets and all is quiet. Check points with Korean's are set up and many watch from their windows fearful they'd be taken off to the reeducation camps. Neither Lissa or Billy look like themselves thanks to a trip into Toll's disguise closet.
Billy's dirty blonde hair is covered with a shaggy dark auburn wig that hangs just below his ears. A pair of thick wire framed glasses cover his eyes and match the red polo and dark green dress shorts he's wearing. Overall, Billy looks nearly five years if not ten years older than he really is. Lissa looks equally as different with her dyed black hair hidden under a blonde wig pulled into a high ponytail. Like Billy she wears a pair of glasses, though hers are thin silver framed. She's in a knee length navy blue dress with a white cardigan and white tennis shoes. Though the one thing making her stand out, the fake pregnancy belly she didn't even want to know why Toll had.
Lissa finds herself rubbing her fingers together and there's a slightly sticky feeling to them. Chaos helped them link up false finger prints to dummy identities - Sarah and David Marshfield. Sarah, a high school computer teacher and David, a dog trainer, are who Lissa and Billy's finger prints will say they are.
"Do you see her?" Billy asks Lissa as he wraps an arm around her waist to support her.
"Not yet." Lissa tells him, "But that's Jasmine's thing, she blends in." Lissa eyes the few people out on the street as well as the Korean guards standing about.
"Who is she?" Chaos asks as he gets the computer system working off the near silent generator system – an invention of Gunnar's.
"I worked with her when I was a consultant to the FBI. She was a covert agent they used to plant bugs and for following people. She ended up going to the CIA and leading up stealth infiltrations." Lissa explained, "Even if the Koreans raided the CIA, she would have found a way out."
Jasmine would be a great addition to their team. The Expendables are use to doing things fast and loud, not stealth. If they were going to get Barney back and take down the Koreans they'd need to go under the radar.
Meanwhile, Barney Ross looks around the prison yard the Koreans had turned into a reeducation camp. Well more than twenty metal shipping crates had been dropped in by helicopters from the coastline. More were coming in each day. Cots and sleeping bags had been set up inside them for the prisoners, like him. All of the prisoners dressed in orange jumpsuits taken from the prison.
Around him are all men digging holes, well digging graves. Last night Cell Block C in the prison rioted and the Koreans used deadly force. While the prison was still being controlled by the guards the American government appointed, the Koreans took to policing it last night. Now they are digging graves for the entire cell block which would be cleaned out and used to hold prisoners like Barney.
Beside Barney is a man with dirty blonde hair, that reminds him of Billy's, the man's hands are cracked and bleeding in places. It is clear this man wasn't use to physical labor like Barney is. "Here," Barney says pulling a bandana from his pocket. He rips it in half and hands it off to the man, "Tie it around your hands."
The man looks around hesitantly and then accepts the fabric scraps. "Thank you." He tells Barney. He then begins to tie the fabric around the wounds on his hands, "You got a family outside here? Or did they get you too?"
"A daughter." Barney answers, "I don't know where she is." There's no sense in lying, the Korean's know he's Barney Ross, not one of his assumed names. He can only hope Lissa found out about the invasion and stayed the hell out of the United States – if they could be called that anymore.
"My wife and two daughters are at our house I think. They kicked in the door and took me. Took me because I'm a district attorney." The man explains, "You?"
"Let's just say I'm the type of guy who does what you do but outside a courtroom." Barney tells him. He's about to go back to digging when he can feel eyes on him. He looks around the yard but not even a guard is looking at him. He squints and looks out into the distance, he's almost certain someone out there has a sniper rifle on him.
Billy and Lissa make it through the first checkpoint in the center of town when Lissa spots Jasmine.
Jasmine is nearly hidden in a crowd watching a news announcement from the Korean's in a coffee shop that was still open. While her eyes look to be on the TV screen, Lissa knows they are on her and Billy. They don't even share a nod and she and Billy just keep walking. They make it another block when Lissa can just hear the faint footsteps of Jasmine following them.
"Almost home free." Billy tells her in a whisper then kisses the top of her head. He steers her towards an empty doctor's office. Despite everything going on, there really isn't anything suspicious about a pregnant woman trying to see if her doctor is open. The front door is unlocked, most likely left that way in the panic that followed the invasion. Inside is dead quiet, no one is here. They move quickly into an interior room, away from windows.
"Lissa." Jasmine smiles and gives Lissa hug, "I was so happy to hear you weren't taken. So many are locked up in those camps." She shares a relieved smile with Lissa before looking to Billy. "And this is?"
"Billy Timmons, pleasure to meet you." Billy says and shakes her hand.
"Jasmine Day Grant." She tells him, "So what's the plan?"
But before Lissa can answer there's the sound of the doors being thrown open and the pounding of combat boots on the floor. The interior room had no windows and only one door. The three share a look of panic before finding themselves staring down the barrels of guns belonging to the North Koreans.
"Hands in the air!"
