Darien watched as his partner paced back and forth infront of him and Luna. She was ranting about how they had let Serena Vanrias' aka the Raven get away with the disk. He often thought that Raye was jealous of the blonde theif.
" I'm serious Darien, we should of been able to grab the disk from her." Raye ranted
Darien raised a brow remembering how Serena had knocked his rifle from his hands with only a .22. to say the least he was a little impressed with with her skills. He looked over at the woman next to him. Luna Carlsdale was a short woman with long curly black hair and sparkling cinnamon eyes. She never said much to anyone but Darien but he knew by the laughter shinning in her eyes that she thought Rayes' rants were funny.
A ring from his cell phone was enough to make Raye shut up for a moment as Darien answered it. He stood from the couch and walked into his bedroom closing the door as he talked quietly to the person on the other line. Leaving Raye and Luna to look after him curiously.

- London, 2:00pm -
Serena walked next to her friend Lt. Lita Lovell and Sgt. Mina Jonson. Their highly polished black combat boot clicked lightly on the tile floors of the military base. Serena's long blonde hair was pulled into a crisp regulation style ponytail. Her army greens were freshly pressed and the folder under her arm well orginized.
Mina was wearing the same uniform as Serena and Lita and also had long waist length blond hair pulled into a tight ponytail. Besides Usagi, Mina could also pass for Serenas' twin. At the moment Mina was ranting at her two companions as the walked down the hall.
"I tell you Sere, they're gonna figure you out eventually. You spend way too much time with those people."
Serena raised a brow,"Mina just because Usa,Artimis,Agrias, and a few others are theives does not mean that are bad people."
Mina scoffed, " You blew up a two block area outside Evertech! the Majior is furious."
Lita who had been silent until now cleared her throat,"I plead to correct that Mina, Darien Mikaels and Raye DeMonte were the ones to fire the rocket launcher."
Mina let out a wordless shriek and gave a aid the evil eye until he opened the door for them. Then she moved through followed closely by Serena and Lita. Serena who was begining to feel uncomfortable in places like this...surely a bad sign right? Looked at the man seated behind the desk and smiled softly.
Major Nathaniel McClareson of the United Nations special ops, was indeed a handsome man with shoulder length auburn hair and green eyes. No wonder that Lita was engaged to him. Again Serena felt the familuar pang of jealousy even though Lita remained standing next to her. At the moment her life wouldn't permit her to have a relationship.
Serena saluted the Major smartly and waited to be told to sit. She always did hate the strictness of the military on such small matters, but sitting before she was told to could mean big problems.
Nathaniel or Nate nodded and the three women sat in the chairs infront of his desk, "Good to see you captian Vanria, I hope you bring good news?"
Serena nodded and laid the folder she had been carrying and the disk she had taken the night before ontop of the folder.
"Yessir, I managed to get in and out with little or now harm to the guards. It was only the gunfight the issued between my men and Darien Mikeals that caused the damage to the street."
Nate picked up the folder and began looking through Serenas' report nodding and making approving noises. When he looked up he only did so with his eyes, the startling green orbs focused on Serena.
"Our resources say that Mr.Mikeals will be going after the laser in a months time. I want this job finished captian Vanria, do you understand?"
Serena nodded,"Yessir!"
Nate motioned for one of his aids to give Serena a case,"Payment for the disk."
Serena nodded and resisted the urge to count it, she would but not infront of her commanding officer."Thank you sir."
Nate nodded Dismissal and the three women stood and saluted him before filing out of the office. Serena wondered as she walked between Mina and Lita how she would be able to turn in not only Darien, but her team. She didn't want to see Artimis and Usa behind bars. They'd be sent to Levenworth with no questions asked, she slanted Mina and Lita a look through half lowered lids. Mina and Lita had been her bestfriends all through boot camp and special ops training.
Artimis had been her bestfriend for the past three years, sticking his neck out on the line. Rescuing her from gunfire making sure she had the equitment she needed to do the job. He had almost died for her a year ago when she had screwed up and a charge had gone off sooner than it was supposed to.
Now the only question was....
How could she do her job, and make sure Artimis and her other friends didn't go down for it?
Answer....She couldn't....
