(Chapter-28)
Two hours after arriving at the point of deployment a base of operations was set up, Faith looked and like how it was set up. She walked over to the area for recon, "What have we got?"
The girl sitting at the computers looked up, "Just the usual, Lex is moving his people around trying to throw off the count of how many people he has."
Faith smiled. "If he only knew we've been watching him since we got home. Have the recon teams continue watching the compound until I get some people up there to relive them."
The girl nodded and went to relay the message.
Buffy was looking for Faith when she found her leaving the recon table, "Hey, just wanted to know when you want to move out?"
Faith looked at her watch, "I plan to relieve our recon team, I want at least another days worth if intel before we make our move."
Buffy nodded, "I'll let the others know."
For the next several hours the intel flowed in Faith picked up a paper that had what she was waiting for, "Call the teams together."
A few minutes later all the teams had gathered at the Command Tent.
Faith spoke up, "Ok listen up people, we just been informed that all outside power and water has been severed. Which means Lex is operating on internal power and is having to use his emergency water supplies. So get your gear together we move out in thirty minutes. Xander I know you usually go on one of the teams. But I want you with Dog and his team."
Dog nodded, "I'll keep him safe."
Faith laughed, "I know you will Dog. The main reason I've put him with you is, I want him to film you in action."
Dog laughed, "No Problem, we'll be happy to have a camera follow us."
Faith looked at her watch., "Ok people lets get ready." Faith hurried over to her tent and gathered her weapons and gear. She had her gear on and weapons ready for action faster then the rest of the teams. She wanted Lex's ass behind bars by the end of the day.
Buffy walked up to Faith and pointed to her watch.
Faith looked at her own, "OK PEOPLE, LETS GET THAT ASSHOLE."
With in seconds everyone was heading towards their launch points.
Once Faith was at hers she radioed the minesweepers, "Ok sweepers move in." Within a few seconds four huge M1A1 Main Line Battle Tanks converted for Mine Sweeping moved towards the two hundred yard Minefield a few seconds later large barrels on extended arms began rotating flipping long chains against the ground. The chains began detonating the Mines.

Inside LutherCorp Lex was in the Security Room, "Damn, start detonating the mines around those Mine Sweepers."
The Security Chief turned to Lex, "That won't work sir."
Lex looked at the security chief, "Why won't it work?, those Mines can destroy an Armored Personnel Carrier."
The security chief nodded, "Yes sir, but those aren't Personnel Carriers. Those are M1A1 Abram Tanks, and we don't have anything that can take one of those out."
Lex thought a few minutes, "Ok, we'll wait for the people to make their move."
The Security Chief nodded.
Lex sat in a chair behind the Security Guards and watch the monitors. He watched as the Mine Sweepers made hamburger out of the Minefield. He closed his eyes knowing he was going to lose.
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Back on the hills that surrounded LutherCorp, Faith watched as the Minesweepers finished making a clean path for them to enter the compound. Faith then pushed a button on the throat mic she wore, "All teams move in."
With that a green flare went up as a second signal for the teams to move in.
Faith could see some of her teams moving up the paths made by the Mine Sweepers. She then got up and started to move when the first shots were heard. She hit the ground, "Who's under fire?" Faith listened as her worst fear was happening over the radio. (This is team two we're taking heavy fire from the compound).
Faith jumped up and started to run towards Buffy's position, "Buffy this is Faith I'm on my way." Just as she said that she to came under fire, "Scratch that, I've come under fire myself. All teams be careful they're waiting for us to get to a set distance from the compound before they open fire." Faith looked through he field glasses at the building, "I need someone to take out those idiots on the roof. Their keeping us from moving." A few seconds later Faith saw a dark smoke path streaking down the hill to her right and impact on the roof taking out several of the gunmen.
A few seconds later she saw another taking out the rest.
Faith pressed the throat mic, "Thank you." Faith got up and started to move towards the compound when she saw four men take up position next to a concrete wall. She looked next to them and saw several barrels of explosive materials she then took her own LAW out and fired setting off a chain reaction that not only killed the four she seen but it blasted a huge hole into the building killing three more.
A few minutes later Faith and the two team that's with her made it to the compound. She looked around and seen the others making their way to the building also. Faith reached up and pressed her throat mic, "Ok be extra careful, Lex is gonna start to feel like a trapped rat. Lets move in." Faith stood and started to move slowly towards the building when she heard a clicking sound. She turned and seen one of her members taking pictures.
Faith looked and seen it was Allison (Allison is played by an actor that gets no credit in the show.) "Allison if you don't put that camera away I'm gonna take it from ya and shove it up your ass."
Allison quickly put the camera away.
Faith looked at the opening they were headed for, "Ok the opening is just a few yards away so be careful." A few seconds later they reached the concrete wall that separated them from the opening when Faith heard another clicking sound. She sighed and turned towards Allison. "Allison if yo..." When she seen Allison didn't have her camera out Faith eyes were now wide open. Faith reached down where she was standing.
Heather who was with Shego came slowly up to her, "Faith what's wrong?"
Faith looked at Heather, "If I have what I think I have under my boot. I'm in deep shit." Faith pulled her knife and slowly moved the dirt away from her boot. And sure enough she was standing on a Pressure Mine.
Faith stood up. "Shit." She then pressed her throat mic. "Attention all teams stop where you are, the compound around the building is Mined. We're walking into another Minefield. Trace your steps and back out, once you're out have the Mine Sweepers move in and clear the compound. But right now I have a Mine under my own foot to take care of."
Heather looked at the other team members, "Ok, you heard her fall back." Heather looked at Faith, "Ok Faith, I'm gonna see just how fast I am."
Faith looked at Heather, "What the hell do you mean how fast you are?"
Heather smiled, "We're about to find out. Now when I count to three I'm gonna grab ya and we're gonna be flyin'."
Faith looked at Heather, "Flying? first you want to see how fast you are and now you're talking about flying."
Heather smiled and got ready, "Ok here we go. 1...2...3."
Just as she said three Faith looked at her but only saw a blur.
She felt Heather grab her by the waist and everything became a blur for a second. The next thing she knew she was on the outside of the fence watching the Mine blow. Faith looked at Heather and smiled, "Just because we're holding hands, doesn't mean we're gonna take long warm showers together to the wee hours of the morning. I'm a married woman."
Everyone laughed.
Faith reached up to her throat mic, "Just to let everyone know I'm ok. I need Sweeper Four over here to clean the area."
Faith walked to the fence, "That's one for you Lex."
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Inside the building Lex smiled as he watched everyone began to back track their steps. He nearly laughed when he seen Faith step on the Mine but then got pissed when Heather saved her. He was about to leave the room when he saw the Mine Sweepers move into the compound and started to clear the Mines, "Damn. I promise before this day is gone I'm gonna kill those two bitches."
After another five minutes of waiting for the Mine Sweepers to finish clearing the compound Faith reached up and pressed her throat mic, "OK, all teams move in. And be careful."
All twelve teams moved towards the build, and this time without an incident.
Faith and her teams entered the opening the explosion made she looked around to her left were three bodies. They were killed in the explosion. Faith also seen the door to the room was gone.
She moved slowly to the door once there she reached into one of her vest pockets and pulled out a mirror. She used it to look into the hall. Seeing it was clear she signaled her teams to move. Faith touched her throat mic, "This Slayer-One, we have entered the building, we are now moving towards the Main Lab area."
Once she said that all the other teams were calling in saying they too have entered the building.
Faith turned to her teams and noticed Allison was missing, "Where's Allison?"
The others looked to see if Allison was there and found her gone.
Heather looked at Faith, "She was right behind me. I'm going back into the room to see if she's there."
Faith nodded, "Make it quick."
Heather made her way back to the room they came out of and seen Allison sitting up against the wall with her hands over her bleeding stomach. Heather knelt beside her, "Damn girl what the hell did you do?"
Allison looked up and smiled, "I heard something come from one of the lockers and when I opened it I was shot by that asshole."
Heather looked at the dead man Allison pointed to, "Ok girl just hold on. Slayer-One this is Slayer-Four...(Go Slayer-Four)...I found Allison and she in bad shape. She heard a sound come from a locker and there was Guard in there and shot her...(Clear, patch her up and take her out)...Negative have one of the others take her out you're gonna need me...(Ok, I'm sending Rachael)... "
Heather looked down at Allison and smiled as she put a field dressing on the girls wound, "Ok girl we got Rachael coming to hall your ass out of here."
A few seconds later Rachael came in, "Ok Heather she mine now."
Heather nodded, "Once you get her out, signal for a chopper for pick-up."
Rachael nodded and Heather got up and rejoined Faith in the hall.
Faith looked at Heather, "How's Allison?"
Heather sighed, "Not good, but I think she'll make it. The bullet was deflected by her camera."
Faith smiled, "Never thought I would be hearing myself say this, but I'm glad she brought her camera. Ok let get moving."
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Over on the other side of the building Buffy and her teams were just entering the main office area when several Guards opened fired, "Everyone down, Shego can you see where they are?"
Shego pulled out a small pariscope, "I see at least five, three on the left and two on the right. Scratch that one, one of the three on the left moved to the middle."
Buffy reached up and pulled two grenades off her vest, she turned to Shego, "You want to pull the pins?"
Shego smiled and reached over and pulled the pins.
Buffy quickly stood tossing the Grenades at the Guards and then dropped to the floor. A few seconds later the Grenades went off killing all five Guards.
Buffy and Shego stood.
Buffy looked at he teams, "Ok lets move."
Just then one of the girls stopped Buffy, "We have wounded ma'am."
Buffy jumped to her people, "How bad?"
The girl nodded, "We have three wounded two sever one miner."
Buffy sighed, "Ok have all three prepped to move and then get them out of here."
The younger girl nodded, "Yes ma'am."
Buffy looked at the teams, "You three will help take the wounded out. The rest will continue with me."
What Faith and Buffy didn't know at the time is the other teams weren't fairing any better. The teams that entered on the West side of the building lost half their strength. And the teams that entered at the warehouse area lost six of their people. But thankfully no one was killed.
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Up stairs in his office Lex was watching everything unfold on some Security Monitors, "Damn won't anything kill them?" Lex walked over to a small book case and opened a small panel next to it. He then typed in a code and the book case moved and revealed an elevator that would take him down to the warehouses. Lex watched the Monitors again, "Once they leave the warehouse, I'll leave the building and then to freedom."
Lex stood there watching when he heard an explosion outside his office. He switched the screen and seen both Faith and Buffy. He reached over and pushed a small button that activated the Electrical Field in the floor and activated the Electrical Field around the door, "That should buy me some time to escape."
Outside the office Faith and Buffy meet at the end of the hall that led to Lex's office. Faith seen Buffy, "Hey sweetie, it's good to see ya."
Buffy smiled, "Same here, So what do ya think?"
Heather walked up, "I think this is where my special abilities are needed again." She took off her gear and handed it to the girl with Buffy, "See ya at the end of the hall." Heather stood at the edge of the Electrical Floor and stepped on it. She got a few steps when the Electricity started arcing everywhere. A few seconds later she was at Lex's office she made a fist and punched the door open. Causing the Electrical Fields to short out.
Faith, Buffy Shego and the rest of the teams ran up to the office. Faith looked around and even looked in the bathroom, "Damn he's gone, where the hell did he go?"
Buffy looked at the door that was an elevator, "My guess is he took this elevator to the roof or to the warehouse area."
Faith smiled, "We both know he isn't on the roof cause that was blown up taking out some Guards.
Buffy smiled, "Then that only leaves the warehouse area."
Faith reached up to her throat mic, "Ok, it's time to let the Dog out to play. Ok lets get down there. I want the rest of you to make your way back outside this is a personal matter."
The others made their way out while Faith, Buffy, Shego and Heather made their way down to the warehouse area. it took them five minutes to get there once there they took cover where they could watch Dog and his team do their magic.
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Lex made his way to the doors of the warehouse when all of a sudden the doors blew open throwing him back twenty feet. As he was about to recover he saw the silhouette of a large man standing there with his arms folded, and the the theme song of 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' playing over the loud speakers.
"There's fear and darkness all around you.
The criminals are on the run.
No use in hiding in the dark.
I'll hunt you down 'cause I'm the Dog.
I'm the Dog.
The big bad Dog.
The Bounty Hunter.
The next thing he knew was Dog, Beth, Leland and the others were moving on him fast. They moved so fast he didn't have time to pull his gun. Dog stepped on Lex's arm with a canister of Pepper Spray aimed right at him, "Don't move mother fucker or I'll beat the shit out of ya. I want you to turn over onto your stomach slowly."
Lex smiled at Dog, "Why don't you just kill me and just end it all."
Dog leaned down, "Because there's a lot of people that feel like living mother fucker." Dog reached up to his throat mic, "This is Dog we have Lex Luther in custody."
Just then Faith, Buffy and the others gathered where Dog was.
Faith walked up to Dog, "Thanks Dog. Now we can get him to the Hospital and have that Deadman's Switch removed before sending him to his new home. And you can expect something extra in the pay we're giving ya."
Dog smiled, "We're just glad to help to get this son of a bitch back in jail."
Before Lex was led out Faith walked up to him, "Hey Lex we have a very special cell waiting for you in the new Prison we had built for people just like you."
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Several minutes at the base of operations later Lex was led away by Federal Agents.
Faith then turned to the board that held the list of those wounded, "Damn eighteen wounded. However we can thank god that no one was killed."
Buffy wraped her arms around Faith, "Yes we can thank god that none of our girls died."
Faith leaned her head on Buffy's, "We also had good training. Lex was ready but we were ready also." Faith looked at Buffy, "What would you say we go check on the girls and then go home?"
Buffy kissed Faith. "Sounds like a plan to me."
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
When everyone was finally out of the Hospital a big BBQ was held to celebrate a job well done.
Faith stood, "I want to just say thanks to the Dog who's help was greatly needed."
Dog held up the cashiers check that was their payment for services rendered, "And this check is greatly appreciated to. If you need our services again just call."
Everyone at the BBQ laughed. and went back to eating and having fun.
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Meanwhile at the new Pacifica Federal Prison, Lex was led to his cell and the door closed. He looked across to the cell infront of his and saw Stefano Dimera.
Stefano walked up to his door, "Well Mr. Luther it seems that we have something in common."
Lex looked at Stefano, "And just what would that be?"
Stefano smiled, "We were both taken down by the same two women."
Lex turned and laid on his bunk cursing the day he ever went to Sunnydale and met Faith and Buffy.
KpKpKpKpKpKpKpKp
Back at the BBQ Faith held Buffy in her arms as they watched the others have fun.
Faith looked into Buffy's eyes, "We'll it's over."
Buffy smiled and snuggled into Faith arms, "For now at least. But sooner or later the Government will have a job they can't do with out getting in trouble. So they'll call us in to handle it."
Faith kissed Buffy, "Damn I hope it won't be to soon."
Buffy kissed Faith back, "I agree cause we still need to give the office bedroom another workout."
Faith and Buffy jumped up from the ground to do just that.
