The Last Score
Pentagon
It was late at night when most of the employees had gone home for the evening. Two lone employees walked into a security area having shut down the main feed to the system. Even though the security officers on the bottom level were seeing basically the same feed of nothing inside the files department.
Both men wearing black coveralls over their heads in order to cover their faces just in case.
It was awfully quiet when the lone man built six feet two inches with a torch to open up the single vault in Colonel James Lowry's office with high-security clearance. He had gone home to his wife Anna of 20 years living in Washington, D.C.
"We need to move quickly Jack before we get caught with breaking in." A man name Alex age 46 ex-Navy seal were paid to acquired certain files of employees belonging to IFF. It was their boss to figure out his next target after this particular agent was in Syria working an undercover operation.
"I am hurrying the fast I can!" Jack needed to say with using the torch on the vault door. Even though they didn't have the equipment to acquire the combination.
Finally watching out for anyone that might be walking in and including the lone security officer on this particular section.
He was able to use the torch with the door opening without needing to be careful in touching the sides without getting burnt. However, it did happen when Alex rubbed his hand with the glove burning leaving some type of DNA trace for those realizing what was going on with the break-in and a large-scale alert.
Alex had taken off his gloves being stupid with placing the gloves into the garbage and putting on an extra pair. Both men working for a neutral country for a large amount of money to get the files located in the front taking them out and into a file folder attached to Alex's side before walking out of the office and then taking the opening of the ceiling using a small step reaching up to head back where they started down into the garage taking twenty minutes to reach it and their vehicle waiting for them. A blue Chevy took from the compound of the local Metro police downstairs.
IFF Late evening
Billy Melrose was working a rare overnight shift with his assistant to take over in the morning. The past few weeks he's been rather busy with the paperwork of his agents and including Lee Stetson ever since he cam came back from medical leave with his last case in Syria.
Billy had such a headache after reading too much and needed to take a bit of a break with two aspirins from his bottom drawer.
It was just too quiet for his taste with everyone having gone home. When all of a sudden he jumped with his office phone began to ring. "This is Billy Melrose of IFF, how can I help you?"
"This is General Waverly of the Pentagon. Billy, please advise all of your agents to be extremely careful with their movements with another break-in off of sensitive documents having been taken this time by the two involved?" he inquired with his message.
"Which documents General?" Billy had to ask with his curiosity kicking in.
"All local agents for IFF are in danger of being executed by the Local Cartel for Syria or other countries working with them and Lee Stetson is on the top of the list." General Waverly needed to have pointed out to Billy over the phone.
"I will be sure to let everyone know General and including Lee Stetson since he's gotten off medical leave."
"Do you trust him Mr. Melrose ever since he's been medically cleared?" this was a question that will be sticking in Billy's gut.
"What the hell is wrong with you, sir? Of course, I trust Lee Stetson. He's my best agent for IFF for the past 20 years." he said with needing to pour himself some water from the pitcher in the back of him.
"You have better Billy or else he will be the first one killed in the line of duty." General Waverly hung up the phone angry at his friend trying to covering up for his agent and friend Lee Stetson AKA Scarecrow.
Billy Melrose was angry and needed to leave the building for some fresh air. What he needed to do was head for Amanda and Lee's house to discuss the sensitive matter with them.
Signing out for now. Walking outside inside the underground parking lot. It was extremely cold with Melrose had on his heavy leather brown coat, hat, and gloves to match with using the remote to open up the front driver side door with moving inside. Looking around through the windshield mirror, he needed to move out slowly into the main street with very little traffic.
Amanda & Lee's house 11 p.m. at night
Amanda was upstairs asleep in bed after taking care of Lee jr. and Daniel in the nursery. Lee wasn't able to sleep. He was watching an old John Wayne flick with the "Sands of Iwo Jima." When he heard a knock on his front door wondering just who the hell it will be at this hour.
Taking a look out the window with the shades down. He saw that it was Billy Melrose. "What the hell Billy? What is going on to have you visit here?" Lee said with moving back inside the living room with Billy following behind.
"There has been a break-in once again this time at the Pentagon stealing personnel files from IFF of all of the top agents and including yours, Lee. I came here to tell you the news in person in order to be extremely careful with your movements," he said with watching Lee's reaction.
