Home of James Murdock

LA

When they got to the Murdock residence Matt growled, " Let me do the talkin alright."

Kort replied as he pulled a nickel plated compact .45 HK USP, and racked a round into the chamber, " Alright mate."

Matt rolled as his eyes as he growled, " put that away ya simple bastard."

Kort did as instructed while Matt knocked on the door. 20 minutes later the door was opened by a large overweight elderly Hispanic woman. Matt asked, " Excuse me Senora, is Mr. Murdock home?"

The woman replied in very heavily accented English, " He home, wait here."

Matt nodded as the woman shut the door, and scurried back into the house. Kort quipped, " Not much for visitors this one."

Despite himself Matt cracked a smile as he growled, " Enough of this shit."

And with he pulled out his .45, and kicked the door open. He went high, and to the right while Kort went low, and to the left. They swiftly cleared the foyer, and moved to the huge dark oak double doors of what Matt guessed was his study/office. Matt locked eyes with Kort, and whispered, " You stay here."

When Kort went to protest, Matt fixed him with a death glare as he hissed, " You stay here."

Kort nodded as Matt holstered his .45, threw the doors open, and strode inside. James Murdock's head snapped up, and he bellowed, " Who in the hell do you think you are bursting into my office like this?"

Matt growled, " Shut up, I've got questions, an you have answers."

Murdock went purple with rage as he thundered, " How dare you talk to me like that, do you have any idea who I am?"

Matt replied, " Yea, you're Hassan Atitff's American financial backer. Now where is he?"

Murdock said, " You have no evidence that I am financing that cowardly terrorist, I'll have you know that I run a Private Military Company called Black Stone, and we are dedicated to combating terrorism. More importantly if you spread your slanderous lies, I will sue for defamation of character, and see you jailed for Slander."

Matt sneered, " Slander ain't a jailable offense dumb ass."

Murdock said, " I've got very high placed friends within the Justice Department, as well CIA, and DHS."

Matt chuckled as he whistled, and Kort came striding into the room. Then he said, " Listen up dirt bag, I've got friends in the CIA, NCIS, DHS, the FBI, DOD, and JAG, so in short don't threaten me."

Murdock cast several fearful glances at Kort as he asked, " Who in the hell are you?"

Matt replied, " Major Matt Mackenzie, USMC."

Upon hearing Matt's name Murdock turned very pale as he said, " I've heard of you, you are one of the most feared snipers in the world."

Matt chuckled as he said, " I'm glad you heard of me, now answer my question."

Murdock stuttered, " I'm not sure, the last time I spoke to him he was in Syria."

Kort asked, " So you expect us to believe that had no idea he was in the States."

At Murdock's nod, Matt asked, " Where in Syria?"

Murdock replied, " Aleppo."

Matt looked over at Kort with a raised eyebrow, and Kort nodded as he pulled out his phone, and stepped out into the hall. Matt was about to ask another question, when suddenly his phone began to beep, he grabbe it, and barked, " Go for Mackenzie."

Sam said, " We found Yusef Ali, he's at ware house on the of Fairfax, and Figueroa."
