A/N - Thanks for the comments! Lol re: the Brenda comments every day. Oh my God. I just realized there is only one more chapter after this. I'm going to miss this fic!

Chapter 26 – Payback is a Bitch

Brenda's phone rang. "Yeah." She listened for a moment. "Okay, we're on the way."

Jason looked over at her. "What happened?"

"They took Spinelli to Jerry Jack's office building."

Jason smirked. "Then that is where we are going."

"You think you can make it Elizabeth?" Brenda asked.

"I wouldn't miss it." She said smiling. "Vladmir is mine."

Jason smiled. "You got it."

Max changed course and they were on their way.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

They all got out. Jason handed Liz her backpack and she kicked off her heels and put a pair of flats on.

They entered the service elevator in the back of the building.

"I'm sure he probably knows that we're here." Jason said moving to the doors. He braced himself with his gun raised just in case.

"His office is on the 26th floor." Liz said pushing the button.

"What's the plan?"

"Stick together. One person brings up the rear."

"I'll do it." Milo said.

Elevator music played as they rose up higher and Liz started to hum. Jason looked over at her and smiled.

"We're on." Brenda said loudly.

The doors slid open and Jason looked left and right before stepping out. They went room by room and then all of a sudden the silence was broken with gunfire. Pushing open a door they went inside as glass shattered around them. They dove down behind some desks and started to return fire.

"I'm going to run out of ammo." He said checking around the desk. There was a dead man lying there with a semi-automatic next to him. "I need to get that gun. Can you guys cover me?" He asked.

They all nodded and began to shoot as Jason crawled over to the next desk. He grabbed the gun and got behind the other desk just as they started returning fire again.

Liz heard something in the hallway and moved back to the door. She ducked into it and came face to face with Vladmir.

"Well, well. What do we have here?" He asked grinning.

"Your worst nightmare Vladdy." Liz said smirking.

They both were pointing guns at each other as they moved closer.

"Why don't we ditch the guns and do this the old fashion way?" Liz suggested.

He started laughing. "You really think you can take me?"

"Oh I know I can." She said smirking.

"On the count of three." He said. "One, two, three."

They both put their guns on the floor.

They stared for a moment before moving forward. Vladmir took a swing and Liz ducked and kicked him in the shin.

"Bitch." He said grimacing in pain. He rushed towards her and Liz turned at the last minute and hit him in the nose with her elbow.

He went down hard holding his nose as it gushed blood.

"I'd stay down if I were you." Liz said putting one hand behind her back.

"Fuck this." Vladmir said reaching for his gun.

Liz whipped her backup out and shot him in the knee. "Hurts like a bitch doesn't it?" She asked as he writhed in pain. "Where is Spinelli?" She asked.

"Fuck you."

Liz shot his other knee as he howled out in pain.

"Where is Spinelli? My next shot will between your legs." She said in Russian.

Vladmir shook with rage. "I would rather die than tell you anything." He said trying to spit blood at her.

Liz looked down at her dress. "I think you ruined my dress." She said shooting him between the legs. "This is couture asshole."

She kicked his gun away. "Answer the question."

"No."

"Then you die." She said shooting him in the head. She walked over to him and felt around in his pocket and took his phone and wallet before going back into the other room just in case.

Jason looked up at her. "You okay?" He yelled.

"Yes. But Vladmir isn't." She said grinning.

Jason smirked. "Cover me." He yelled.

They began shooting as Jason stood and shot the rifle. Jerry's men fell left and right as he moved forward. They all followed him and finally it was quiet.

"This doesn't make sense." Liz said softly.

Jason looked down at his phone. "He's below us." He said running back to the hallway. They grabbed a few more guns before running to the stairwell.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

They paused and then Jason threw open the door and he and Brenda went into the room. Jerry was standing there with a gun to Spinelli's head.

"I wouldn't come any closer if I were you." Jerry said smirking. "We wouldn't want Spinelli's brains splattered across the room. What a terrible waste that would be."

"Let him go." Jason said pointing his weapon at Jerry.

"I can't do that. You see he's almost finished my program." Jerry said looking down at Spinelli. "Keep typing Mr. Spinelli if you know what's good for you."

Spinelli nervously tried to focus.

"And after he gives you the program?" Brenda asked.

"Well, aren't you beautiful." Jerry said smiling. "I don't give a damn about any of you after he's finished. I'm bringing the building down and none of you are going to make it."

Jason started trying to think of options. He figured that Jason would try to use the roof.

Liz and Milo had already headed up there and took cover. They picked off two guards and waited.

"So, where is the lovely Cara?" Jerry asked. "I was looking forward to seeing her again."

"She's sitting this one out since one of your men almost killed her."

Jerry smirked. "Almost? Is she yours?" Jerry asked curiously.

Jason didn't answer. "Spinelli are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine Stone Cold."

"Shut up and keep working." Jerry said impatiently.

"At some point you're going to get tired." Jason said evenly.

Jerry chuckled. "By then, I'll be long gone."

Suddenly, gunfire erupted from outside and shattered the windows. Everyone dropped to the floor.

"Looks like the cavalry is here." Jason said.

In all the mayhem, Spinelli reached up and grabbed his laptop and started to crawl towards Jason who saw him and tried to shoot towards where Jerry was at to keep him from getting to Spinelli.

"Stone Cold." Spinelli said smiling at his slid next to him.

"Let's get out of here." Jason said as they ducked and ran towards the stairwell.

They rushed down to a lower floor and took the elevators to the parking garage. Max picked them up and they left the building and went to the far side where some other agents were gathered.

The helicopter was still shooting into the building as they watched. Jason was worried about Liz. He figured that they were on the roof. He briefed the rest of the agents and also notified them that Jerry was planning on taking the building down.
