1 Night Crawling
Cody watching the monitor blinked a couple of times, then clicked his mouse a few more.
"Uh, Sir, you might want to see this." He called out to Donovan while enlarging the image.
"What is it Cody?" Donovan asked coming up behind the computer tech.
" It's Kilmann . . . she's in Kincaid's apartment."
Donovan focused his gaze on the monitor; indeed armed and in camouflage. She was heading toward Kincaid's bedroom, where they didn't have a damn camera. Donovan gripped the back of Cody's chair with his displeasure.
Valinda moved silently down the short hallway. She glided thru the open doorway into the bedroom. Kincaid was sprawled on his back with the heavier bedcovers around his feet and the pillows at varying angles around him. She walked around the bed examining him like he was an insect under a microscope.
She silently moved to the end of the bed, he suddenly snorted and jerked in his sleep. Valinda paused and took his new position into her calculations. She slowly edged toward the bed. She placed her hands lightly on either side of his legs, the bed giving way under her weight. She crawled slowly and silently over him, resisting the urge to break his knees as she passed them. He yawned and mumbled something in his sleep but did not move. When she was over his chest she sat heavily down on him immediately awakening him. She pinned his arms with her knees and pulled the knife out of her upper arm sheath and put it to his throat. She leaned down until they were face to face.
" If you scream I'll cut your throat as soon as feel you inhale." She whispered in his ear, squeezing his chest with her calves.
" What. Do. You. Want?" He gasped as she tightened her grip on his chest.
He had heard rumors from the vice boys, She was going to kill him he knew it. Suddenly that boat and the money wasn't enough. He could feel the blade biting into his neck. He felt a trickle of blood running down his throat, where it nicked the skin.
"I want to know who the silver hair with the three-piece suit is? I want the whole operation." She whispered fiercely in his ear.
"If I tell you he'll kill me!" He gasped
"I'm going to kill you the only question is now or later." She answered back sliding the blade across his throat.
"All right, all right, I'll tell you." He gave in.
"Good, now you're going to tell me why you killed Mercer and betrayed your TEAM." She hissed in fury digging the knife in further.
" For the money, I risk my life for a shit paycheck and if I live a gold watch."
" I guess that's an answer but it's not worth it now is it?" She said getting in his face again.
She knocked him out with a quick precise blow to the head. She rolled herself off him and cuffed his hands, and then she found his pair of cuffs and cuffed him to his bedstead. She walked out of Kincaid's room, and proceeded to methodically tear his place a part. She found the money he had been taking taped under an end table. She pulled it out and left it out in plain sight on the cheap wood veneer coffee table. Then she did a little more damage; she was feeling kind of petty. She took a picture of her whole team off the wall as she passed by on her way out.
"Well that was interesting." Cody said surveying the damage on his computer monitors. " What do we do now?"
" Keep an eye on Alex and Weller, we don't know what Kincaid told her or even if he's alive now. I'm going to Kilmann's send Jake to Kincaid's." Donovan ordered walking out of the nest.
