Bobby typed away. He was able to track their signal. "Ten minutes out fuck I got to move." Bobby typed furiously executing an operation. He then grabbed his coat, hat and gun. He then went to his computer the operation was only at forty percent; "Looks like I'm going mobile good thing I had my guys stash a car four blacks away." He typed in a small virus to their server. It would slow them down giving him enough time to get to the car. He then grabbed his computer and headed out. Bobby moved through people as he made his way to the car port. He needed help but his guys were too far thankfully he had a friend in high places.
Mike and Briggs were sitting outside on the deck going over the case when his phone rang. Seeing it was Bobby he quickly picked up, "Hey, Bobby, what's…"
"Mike, I need you to shut up and do as I say. Do you understand?" Mike could tell there was fear in Bobby's voice and agreed instantly. "Good, first- I cracked the code and I know you're FBI. Generally I would be fucking pissed that you lied to me but right now I'm couldn't be happier. I need you to put a trace on my phone. Don't ask why just do it."
Mike looked up, "Briggs, call for a trace on the number that's calling me." He ordered. Briggs is quickly on the phone with HQ while Mike returns his focus to Bobby. "They're on it Bobby what's going on?"
Bobby huffed before he spoke, "They found me, Mike, I don't know how but they did. I transferred all the info to a flash drive so you need to find me before they do."
"Bobby, where are you now?"
"Heading to Long Beach Harbor." Bobby looked at the GPS on his computer; "Shit. Hey, Mike, move your ass." He said before hanging up.
"Bobby, you there? Shit! Briggs, did you get it?"
"Just in time but we got it. He's heading north on the 5. You know where he's going?"
"What's going on?" Charlie asked
"Bobby's on his way to Long Beach Harbor. The hack worked but they found him and are after him."
"Why the fuck would he go there? He's a sitting duck." Charlie said.
"Probably thinks he can hold them off till we get there," Briggs said. "We got to move now if we have any chance of getting to him before they do." Mike, Briggs, and Charlie headed inside and are meant by Paige and Johnnie. Both notice something is up as they see the look or worry and focus on Mike's face. Instead of asking what's wrong Johnnie asks, "What do you need Mikey"
"Have a tactical team moving on my location." He said as he grabbed his gun. Paige ran upstairs and came back down with her gun. She waited for one if not all of them to say something. Finally Mike said, "Let's go."
Bobby hauled ass up the freeway his eyes only looking at the road or the screen. As he got to the port his computer operation read it was at eighty percent. Bobby hoped out and with his computer in tow raced down the docks. Bobby headed to location where he could see anyone coming in. He checked his computer again operation was at ninety percent. Just then a dark SUV pulled up. Bobby cocked back the safety Fuck, Mike, hurry up. Just then Bobby's cell went off, "Mike, they're here."
"We're five minutes away. What's your location?"
"Pier T I tried to get to the others but the roads were blocked." Bobby noticed that his computer beeped signaling the operation was complete. He quickly typed in an encryption that wiped the hard drive and all contents from it. He then shoved it in between two crates before moving hoping not to leave a trail.
"Bobby, you still there?" Mike asked. As Bobby made his way through the pier he noticed a tall dark figure coming his way. Bobby quickly hid behind a wall keeping out of sight. "Bobby?" Mike asked again. "Look, Mike, I'm a little busy right now trying not to get killed so if you don't hear from me every ten seconds don't freak the fuck out." Mike was a little amused that even in a dangerous situation Bobby still had a sense of humor.
As they passed the entrance Mike directed Briggs to head to Pier T. They rolled up close but far enough not to be seen by anyone. "Bobby, we're here stay on the line." Bobby took a deep sigh, "Better late than never buddy." Bobby peaked his head from behind the wall, "Mike, I think the coast is clear I don't…." Just then gun shots were being blasted at the wall. Mike and the others heard the shots heading towards it. Bobby kept down as the shooting continued. Once it stopped Bobby peaked out and fired two shots back while making a run for it.
The gunmen spotted Bobby and began to fire. Bobby leaped behind a large steal container just in time. Bullets flung everywhere as they ricocheted off the container. Bobby tried to fire back but could not get a good shot due to the gunman had a higher advantage point. He looked and saw an access way that would lead to the harbor but it was blocked by the gunman. "Fuck me" Bobby said to himself as he sat there trapped. He looked around hoping to find anything that could help him. He then found a small black object which turned out to be a broken off rearview mirror. Bobby crawled to the edge of the container and with the mirror looked at the gunman's location. Bobby smiled as he looked at the base of the gunman's ledge. The ledge was supported by a beam that was barely holding together. "Five bullets Bobby better make them count."
Bobby then leaned forward getting the gunman's attention who then began to fire. Bobby did this over and over till he knew that the guy was out and had to reload. Once the shooting stopped and he heard the snapping of the empty clip being taking out Bobby stood up and opened fire at the beam. Five shots dead on in the middle caused it to snap bringing down the entire ledge.
"What the fuck?" Charlie asked.
"Bobby, you alright?" Mike asked. The sound of his friend's laughter made mike smile.
"And Heather said me playing Call of Duty for hours was a waste of time." Bobby said as he made his way through down the pier. "You might want to call an ambulance though for guy who was shooting at me though."
"Mikey, he's close this way." Briggs said.
"We got a tactical team close by. You still got the flash drive?" Mike asked as they ran along the edge of the pier.
"Yeah, it's with my…" Bobby stopped dead in his tracks as all he saw was the gun pointed in his direction.
"Bobby? Talk to me man." Bobby couldn't answer he the gunman grabbed the phone from Bobby then smashed it on the ground. "Bobby!" Mike yelled.
"Mike, the trace is dead but he's close." Briggs said. "Mike you and Paige stay on this route will head to the other side." Charlie instructed. The foursome split up and headed out.
"Where is your computer?" the gunman asked. When Bobby didn't say anything the gunman cocked the gun. "I'll ask you again where is the computer." Bobby flashed a coy smile which angered the gunman who shot Bobby in the arm. The sound alerted the agents who raced towards it. Bobby was in pain but he didn't show it. "Another battle scar. Can't wait to tell the guys about this one. Shot by a punk." He said with another smile. The gunman returned was about to shoot again but a voice came over the radio; "Fire this is Phoenix. I found the computer but the hard drive is wiped." The shooter looked at Bobby, "Well I guess your services are no longer required." Bobby reached down grabbed a few rocks covered in mud tossing them in the shooters face. The distraction gave Bobby just enough time to escape.
As they ran towards the gun shot Paige noticed a figure in the distance running towards the end f the dock. As the figure got closer she saw that it was Bobby holding his left arm. "Mike look!" Paige grabbed him by the arm and they raced towards him. Bobby saw Mike and smiled.
"Don't you fucking move" a voice told Bobby. He turned to his left and saw the gunman who was again holding the gun at him. "The flash drive give it to me now!" the shooter ordered. Bobby took out the drive and handed it to them. Mike and Paige stopped when they saw Bobby stop. They realized the shooter was there but they couldn't see them. The shooter held up the flash drive before placing it in the ground and shooting at it. "Wouldn't want your buddy Agent Warren seeing this. That would ruin the surprise later on." Bobby listened to the sound of the shooters voice. He swore he knew that voice. Suddenly Bobby's eye's got wide, "I know you."
The shooter didn't respond they just held the gun up and fired two shots into bobby's chest. The impact caused bobby to fall back tripping on the edge of the pier falling into the harbor. Mike watched in horror as his friend fell into the water. "Mike don't!" Paige screamed but Mike dove in after him. Mike swan deep the lights from the docks gave some visibility. He was running out of air but he swam on desperately searching for his friend. As he swan a hand grabbed onto Mike's leg he quickly turned around grabbing Bobby's body and pulling him to the surface. Mike pulled them booth to a landing point of the dock where Paige was waiting. She helped pull Bobby up then helped Mike who quickly turned to attend to his friend. Briggs and Charlie quickly made their way down. "Any sign of them?" Paige asked. "We didn't see them son of bitches got away again." said Charlie.
Mike held his friend blood pouring out of him. Bobby was awake but was fading fast. Mike looked up to the sound of the sirens, "Bobby, stay with me man. Will have you patched up in no time." Bobby smiled; "Operation." Mike looked at his friend with a confused look. "Bobby I don't understand"
"Operation." was all he said before he closed his eyes. Mike shook his friend hard, "No, no, no, no. Damn it, Bobby, wake up! Stay with me you man. Bobby? Bobby!" Paige, Briggs and Charlie stood there as Mike called out to his friend.
Ok fans I am asking for your help. I have two ways this story goes after this and I would like your say in it what happens next. Does Bobby live or die.
