character of Mitch Rapp, he belongs to the author Vince Flynn.
Pure fiction!!! Don't know what I'm taking about but hey that's fiction
for ya!!! ;)
Davenport heard what unfolded and followed the fuming Reme outside. "Hey D, calm down!!" "Calm Down!!!! How the fuck can you cay that. Those to assholes in there think they can play tug of war with me, well they are both sorely mistaken!!!" "D, why are you so angry especially at Boscorelli. I mean Mitch was way out of line. And you know that. Acting like your together!" "Yeah, I know but that's how he is. He'll never change. And Bosco, well he didn't have to act like such an ass but I guess I can't blame him. But I have no time for these immature territory games. Ahhh!!!!" Reme screamed placing her hands on her head and looking up. "I told him I loved him Kev!!!" "You what?!!!!" "Yeah" She said with a giggle looking at him. " I know. Know one's more surprised about it then me but I do. I can honestly say that I love that dumb ass." Reme said shaking her head. Davenport just starred at her opened mouthed. "Wow, definitely wasn't expecting to hear that but I'm glad to hear it. I like Boscorelli. He has spunk! "Spunk. Is that what you call it?" She said laughing. "I call it stupidity, arrogance and a lack of common sense with a short fuse but I guess spunk will do." Reme said laughing. "So what does that mean for the two of you?" "Well, I guess we take it day by day, you know. I don't actually know, to be honest. Having a *normal* relationship is not my strong suit and I'm thinking he's the same way. So the best I can say is that we just take it slow and see where we go" "And what about that firefighter?" "Oh, shit Jimmy. I forgot about him. Well I'll tell him the truth that well me and Bosco are an *item*and apologize. I mean that's all I can do right?" "Yeah, I guess. So what are going to do about those two inside?" "Nothing, let them stew in what I said for awhile and then I'll handle them. Right now I want to concentrate on the "Dicer" case!" "Sounds good." They headed inside.
Dakota walked away and left them both standing there, staring at each other. Bosco couldn't believe what had just happened. Neither could Mitch. Bosco walked away hitting into Mitch as he did so. Mitch just shook his head, laughed and let it go.
"Great, she hates me now. Way to go Bosco. Shit, shit shit!!" Bosco slammed his locker door each time he said the word and wished Rapp's head was between it and the locker. He calmed himself down by splashing water on himself. He would set it right, he just needed to calm down and knew Dakota needed to calm down as well.
Mitch ran his fingers over the top of his head mumbling to himself, "Nice going Rapp, keep screwing this up. She'll definitely run back to you now! Fuck!", he said and sat down leaning his elbows on his knees and rubbing the back of his head and then leaning back and closing his eyes. "Fuck!" he said again.
Dakota walked back with Davenport, ignoring Mitch who tried to talk to her. Davenport just pulled him aside and said, "Later man. Let her focus on this." Mitch shook his head and just listened to what the sketch artist had to say. "Well here Deputy Director, this is who he saw." The sketch was that of a white male who was in his mid-30's, and had ash brown hair, with a mustache. Reme had to admit it was a damn good sketch. Reme smiled. "We got him! Swersky!" "Yeah!!!" "I want every precinct in the Tri-State area looking for this guy. Kev!" She just yelled his name and he knew what she wanted. "I'm on it!" He declared. "I want an all out man hunt for this guy understood. I want every officer to look at this sketch and see if they recognize him from all the people they spoke to yesterday. Is that understood!" "Yes, Deputy Director" "And place Harry in protective custody. I don't want anything happening to him" "Yes, ma'am." Bosco came out and saw Reme. He walked up to find out what was going on. "Boscorelli!!!" "Yeah, Lieu!" "We got a composite of our perp, we're short handed today. I need you on Anti-Crime to help canvas the area for this guy" "Sure Lieu" "Okay, get on it!" Bosco headed to Anti-Crime, quickly trying to glance at Reme hoping to catch her attention but to no avail. Rapp was there next to her. "Shit, she's with him! What the fuck!" Cruz came in and interrupted his curse fest. "Looks like Reme might have actually got our guy!" "Yeah, looks like." Bosco said still looking at Reme with Rapp. "Yum, who's the eye candy with Reme?" Bosco looked fiercely at Cruz and ignored her question. "Well aren't we touchy. It was just a question. And a legitimate one!" Cruz said turning and smiling. She already knew who the man was but she had to do this to get under his skin. "Boscorelli, let's go!" Cruz said and they headed out to try and find there guy.
Davenport took it upon himself to take Mitch along with him so Reme could have some time alone. Dakota went back to her office and ran the composite through the FBI mainframe. It was a long shot but she wanted to cover all bases. Maybe luck would be on her side and this asshole was in the computer. She told Gregory to alert her if the computer came up with a match. She headed out to the M.E.'s office to see if they had come with ID's on her two vics.
Faith came into to office to much of the Lt.'s surprise. "Yokas you should be home resting, for fuck's sake!" "Lieu, I wanna help even if it's desk duty" "Okay, fine. We need all the extra hands we can get. We got a possible ID on the killer. Were canvassing the area now!!" "Yeah so you think we'll get this guy?" "Looks like." He said walking away.
Cruz and Bosco were hitting the nightclubs and showing the composite around. But no luck yet. "So, how are you and the boss doing, in love yet?" Cruz asked Bosco. Startled by the question, he looked at her then the road. "That's really none of your business!!" He barked back. "Look I'm just making conversation, Bosco. Look, I want to apologize for the other night. I was way out of line. I'm sorry." Cruz said to Bosco. Bosco was totally taken by surprise at what he heard this woman just say.
"Did you just say you were sorry to me?" Bosco did a double take at Cruz.
"Yeah, I did don't get used to it. It won't happen again. But really, I'm glad you met someone. I'm happy for you." Bosco had no idea what to make of this. If she was serious that would be awesome so now maybe he could actually pursue working Anti-Crime full time but then again this woman was evil and this could be all part of her master plan. Bosco just nodded and said, "Thanks, I appreciate that." Cruz inwardly smiling to herself . "Oh, I heard about what happened to Yokas? That's a shame. Is she okay?" "Oh this is too much fun", she thought to herself. "Yeah, she dislocated her shoulder and has some minor cuts and bruises but other then that she's fine. She's being released today." "Oh, that's good to hear." She thought to herself, next time she won't be so lucky even if it meant killing the bitch herself.
It was about 8p.m. and Philips headed back to the building to perform the same test with the X-50. Reme wanted him to call if there was anything. When he did the test, he saw that there was almost immediately.
"Christ, this guy's got balls." He dialed Reme. "Boss, there's another love note for ya!" "I'll be right down." Reme arrived there and Philips showed her. "It's your turn now, Bitch" It read. "What does that mean, Reme?" She didn't answer him right away but just stood there and stared at the message. "Reme, what does he mean, that it's your turn?" "I'm his next target", she said. "What do you honestly think he would come after you?" "Yeah I do. The game has changed. He sees me as a worthy advisory now. Someone who he can finally play with on a level playing field. So now it's about the game of cat and mouse. But the question, who's the cat and who's the mouse?"
Reme headed to her car and got the call from Gregory. "Tell me this is good news Gregory! "Deputy Director, we have a match. The name came up as Walter Sinclair." She jumped into her car and peeled out. She got the rest of the details and had Gregory to have her tactical team meet her at the precinct and to notify Davenport and have him meet her at the 55 as well. She called the 55 and told Swersky she was on her way that she had a match. She wanted the head of ESU there too. When she arrived, she didn't even care about parking, she just left her car right in front of the precinct and ran in. "Swersky!", she yelled. "Where are we?" "ESU's here and your tactical team is on it's way. ETA about 5 minutes!" "Okay his name is Walter Sinclair. He's ex-NYPD who transferred to D.C. but was let go because....." "Let me guess, a tendency towards violent behavior!" The Lieutenant retorted. "Yeah, exactly. He lives at 1324 11th Ave. apt. 8. I want this nut job and now he's made it personal. I'm his next target so I want him dead or alive, understood." Just as she said this Davenport and Rapp walked in. "What do you mean you're his next target?" Rapp said. "There was another message left behind on the crime scene wall and it read, "It's your turn now, Bitch" she said to the room. "D are you serious?" "Yeah, I am!" "But that could have meant that its your turn to look for him it doesn't have to mean you're the next target!" "Kev, think about what you just said. If I was not the recipient of that message and someone else was, would you say that!" "No, your right" "I know that you don't want it to be me but unfortunately this bastard has fixated on me and thinks that he can take me on. But we won't give that opportunity. Will we?" She said with a smirk. "Hell no!!" Mitch said. "Right so here we are getting ready to take this fucker down!"
Reme waited for her tactical team to arrive and decided to call back Bosco and Cruz. She found Faith at one of the desks. "Faith what the hell are you doing here!?" Reme exclaimed. "Hi to you too, Dakota. Look I'm fine besides I wanted to help. I couldn't just sit back and not do anything!" "You are too much, Faith. Fine you want to do something. Do me a favor and call Bosco and Cruz back to the house, I want them in on this" "So you really have this guy, huh?" "Yes we do. And I'm going to personally make sure he pays for the lives he has destroyed!" "I'll call them now." Reme's tactical team arrived and Reme debriefed them all of the plan.
Bosco's cell phone went off. "Bosco" "Bos, hey it's Faith" "Hey Faith, What did they release you from the hospital already?" "Bosco listen to me. Dakota has a match on the "Dicer". She wants you and Cruz to came back to the house now!" "Where are you?." "I'm at work. Will you just get your ass here, now. I'm not kidding Bos. She's about to lead her tactical teams and ESU out and I think she wants you in on this so I suggest you stop asking so many damn question and high tale your ass down here!" "Right, We're on our way." He said pressing end. "What was that about?" Cruz asked. "Reme's gotta a positive ID on our killer and is about to bring down the Wraith Of God on his ass and she wants us in on it." He turned the car around, turned on the siren and floored it back to the house.
Reme headed into the locker room to suit up in her gear. Mitch was right next to her doing the same. "Feels like old times huh?" "Yeah it does." She said smiling at him. "Look, I know this is not the time but for what's worth, I'm sorry Angel. I acted like an ass." "I know and you're right, you did act like an ass but like you said this isn't the time to have this conversation. Right now all I want is this shits head on a platter." She said this as she finished lacing up her boot. "You ready?" "I was born ready, Iron man" "Let's do this Angel." With that they banged their right fists together and then their elbows. This was their ritual and there trademark.. Before every assignment, they did this.
As Bosco and Cruz pulled up, Reme, Mitch and Davenport were heading the team out. Bosco didn't exactly like seeing them together but right now put those feelings aside to focus on what mattered. He jumped out of the car and screamed Reme's name. "Reme!" She turned and saw him. He saw her two gun holsters on underneath a long black trench coat and he couldn't help but smile because it brought back memories of the other night. "The Angel of Death, I presume." Saying to her with a light tone. "Yeah, nice to meet you." She said with a chuckle. "So you got him!" "Yes we do. I want you to follow ESU. I don't want to spook this guy so I'm heading the assault with Rapp" "What!" "Bosco, save it. I don't have time for this now. So you either in on this or get the fuck out of my way. It's as simple as that!" She said flat out. He looked at her for a moment and surrendered. "I'm in." "Okay follow ESU and wait for my signal." She said this walking away and getting into her car with Mitch.
Reme parked her car a block away from the address. She had already gotten the layout of the apartment complex and knew there was a way in from the alley way and the adjoining building. She decided since her and Mitch had the most tactical experience there that they would join forces and work once again as a team. She wanted this guy and would do whatever she had to do to get him. "Okay I'm up your down!" "You got it Angel. See you on the other side." Mitch said with a smile and headed out. She grabbed her stuff and headed to the building. It was residential so she would take the less obvious approach and climb the fire escape. When she reached the top she jumped across to the building she needed to get into. She made it across and headed to the door. Trying the handle, it was locked but already being prepared for that got out a light weight drill and removed the lock and opened the door. She headed down the stairs, like a cat. She knew that Mitch would be close to the target now just like she was. He was coming in the back and she was coming in from the side. These apartments were mostly empty since this a fairly new re-renovated where house. Reme was going to climb out of the apartment window adjacent to the killers and make her way in that way. Piece of cake for her. As she did this, Mitch was getting in his way and knew Reme was probably almost in position and would wait for her signal. They stayed off the coms as much as they could but knew they would have to communicate to each other and the others about their status. "Iron Man in position" "Angel in position. On my mark 1,2,3,.." With that Reme and Mitch headed in , guns drawn.
"On my mark, 1,2,3,..." Was the last thing Bosco heard. He had a weird feeling about this. He didn't know what but something felt wrong.
As Reme and Mitch searched the apartment, they realized the perp wasn't there. Actually they realized that there was hardly anything there for that matter. Just then they heard a ringing. They both looked around and Reme found a cell phone with a note that said her name. "Jesus, how the hell did he know?" Reme said looking at the phone and looking at Mitch. "It's him you know that. I don't know how he knew about this but he did. Angel, you have to answer it" "I know." She said and pressed send. "Hello Deputy Director Reme and welcome to my game! You've done very well so far, better then the other two they had working on this before, but you already knew that didn't you?" "What do you want?" "I think you know what I want. I made that very clear." Mitch had already made the others outside aware of what was going on and was trying to get a trace of the call. "Okay so you want me then come and get me!" "Oh, I wish it were that easy. Come now Reme you now I'm no idiot. Fortunately my other victims weren't fighters but you I can actually say you might win that way but there are always other ways to catch your prey!" "Yeah, so what other way did you have in mind?" "Well now I knew I would have to be creative in my efforts because you have become a very worthy opponent and would probably kill me before I could complete it!" "And what makes you think I wont kill you now?" "Oh my dear sweet Reme cause I have something that your boyfriend loves and I know you would do whatever you had to do to make sure he was happy. Am I right?" She looked at Mitch who was staring at her. He was the first person, she thought of when she heard the word boyfriend but then realized, "Oh God Bosco!", covering the mouth piece and running out the door, Mitch following. She ran outside and stopped. "What do you want with him, he has nothing to do with this?" "Oh but he does, Reme. He became involved when he became involved with you. Now the question is, how much do you really care for this man, enough to trade your life for two others that he loves far more then you I can assure you of that!" "What the hell are you talking about?" And at that second realized who he meant. "Oh God," she thought again closing her eyes. "You think about that Reme my darling and I'll be in touch." He hung up and the whole world began to spin around Reme. "Oh God he has his mother and brother."
Davenport heard what unfolded and followed the fuming Reme outside. "Hey D, calm down!!" "Calm Down!!!! How the fuck can you cay that. Those to assholes in there think they can play tug of war with me, well they are both sorely mistaken!!!" "D, why are you so angry especially at Boscorelli. I mean Mitch was way out of line. And you know that. Acting like your together!" "Yeah, I know but that's how he is. He'll never change. And Bosco, well he didn't have to act like such an ass but I guess I can't blame him. But I have no time for these immature territory games. Ahhh!!!!" Reme screamed placing her hands on her head and looking up. "I told him I loved him Kev!!!" "You what?!!!!" "Yeah" She said with a giggle looking at him. " I know. Know one's more surprised about it then me but I do. I can honestly say that I love that dumb ass." Reme said shaking her head. Davenport just starred at her opened mouthed. "Wow, definitely wasn't expecting to hear that but I'm glad to hear it. I like Boscorelli. He has spunk! "Spunk. Is that what you call it?" She said laughing. "I call it stupidity, arrogance and a lack of common sense with a short fuse but I guess spunk will do." Reme said laughing. "So what does that mean for the two of you?" "Well, I guess we take it day by day, you know. I don't actually know, to be honest. Having a *normal* relationship is not my strong suit and I'm thinking he's the same way. So the best I can say is that we just take it slow and see where we go" "And what about that firefighter?" "Oh, shit Jimmy. I forgot about him. Well I'll tell him the truth that well me and Bosco are an *item*and apologize. I mean that's all I can do right?" "Yeah, I guess. So what are going to do about those two inside?" "Nothing, let them stew in what I said for awhile and then I'll handle them. Right now I want to concentrate on the "Dicer" case!" "Sounds good." They headed inside.
Dakota walked away and left them both standing there, staring at each other. Bosco couldn't believe what had just happened. Neither could Mitch. Bosco walked away hitting into Mitch as he did so. Mitch just shook his head, laughed and let it go.

He calmed himself down by splashing water on himself. He would set it right, he just needed to calm down and knew Dakota needed to calm down as well.
Mitch ran his fingers over the top of his head mumbling to himself, "Nice going Rapp, keep screwing this up. She'll definitely run back to you now! Fuck!", he said and sat down leaning his elbows on his knees and rubbing the back of his head and then leaning back and closing his eyes. "Fuck!" he said again.
Dakota walked back with Davenport, ignoring Mitch who tried to talk to her. Davenport just pulled him aside and said, "Later man. Let her focus on this." Mitch shook his head and just listened to what the sketch artist had to say. "Well here Deputy Director, this is who he saw." The sketch was that of a white male who was in his mid-30's, and had ash brown hair, with a mustache. Reme had to admit it was a damn good sketch. Reme smiled. "We got him! Swersky!" "Yeah!!!" "I want every precinct in the Tri-State area looking for this guy. Kev!" She just yelled his name and he knew what she wanted. "I'm on it!" He declared. "I want an all out man hunt for this guy understood. I want every officer to look at this sketch and see if they recognize him from all the people they spoke to yesterday. Is that understood!" "Yes, Deputy Director" "And place Harry in protective custody. I don't want anything happening to him" "Yes, ma'am." Bosco came out and saw Reme. He walked up to find out what was going on. "Boscorelli!!!" "Yeah, Lieu!" "We got a composite of our perp, we're short handed today. I need you on Anti-Crime to help canvas the area for this guy" "Sure Lieu" "Okay, get on it!"

She headed out to the M.E.'s office to see if they had come with ID's on her two vics.
Faith came into to office to much of the Lt.'s surprise. "Yokas you should be home resting, for fuck's sake!" "Lieu, I wanna help even if it's desk duty" "Okay, fine. We need all the extra hands we can get. We got a possible ID on the killer. Were canvassing the area now!!" "Yeah so you think we'll get this guy?" "Looks like." He said walking away.
Cruz and Bosco were hitting the nightclubs and showing the composite around. But no luck yet. "So, how are you and the boss doing, in love yet?" Cruz asked Bosco.

"Let me guess, a tendency towards violent behavior!" The Lieutenant retorted. "Yeah, exactly. He lives at 1324 11th Ave. apt. 8. I want this nut job and now he's made it personal.

Reme parked her car a block away from the address. She had already gotten the layout of the apartment complex and knew there was a way in from the alley way and the adjoining building. She decided since her and Mitch had the most tactical experience there that they would join forces and work once again as a team. She wanted this guy and would do whatever she had to do to get him. "Okay I'm up your down!" "You got it Angel. See you on the other side." Mitch said with a smile and headed out. She grabbed her stuff and headed to the building. It was residential so she would take the less obvious approach and climb the fire escape. When she reached the top she jumped across to the building she needed to get into. She made it across and headed to the door. Trying the handle, it was locked but already being prepared for that got out a light weight drill and removed the lock and opened the door. She headed down the stairs, like a cat. She knew that Mitch would be close to the target now just like she was. He was coming in the back and she was coming in from the side. These apartments were mostly empty since this a fairly new re-renovated where house. Reme was going to climb out of the apartment window adjacent to the killers and make her way in that way. Piece of cake for her. As she did this, Mitch was getting in his way and knew Reme was probably almost in position and would wait for her signal. They stayed off the coms as much as they could but knew they would have to communicate to each other and the others about their status. "Iron Man in position" "Angel in position. On my mark 1,2,3,.." With that Reme and Mitch headed in , guns drawn.
"On my mark, 1,2,3,..." Was the last thing Bosco heard. He had a weird feeling about this. He didn't know what but something felt wrong.
As Reme and Mitch searched the apartment, they realized the perp wasn't there. Actually they realized that there was hardly anything there for that matter. Just then they heard a ringing. They both looked around and Reme found a cell phone with a note that said her name. "Jesus, how the hell did he know?" Reme said looking at the phone and looking at Mitch. "It's him you know that. I don't know how he knew about this but he did. Angel, you have to answer it" "I know." She said and pressed send. "Hello Deputy Director Reme and welcome to my game! You've done very well so far, better then the other two they had working on this before, but you already knew that didn't you?" "What do you want?" "I think you know what I want. I made that very clear." Mitch had already made the others outside aware of what was going on and was trying to get a trace of the call. "Okay so you want me then come and get me!" "Oh, I wish it were that easy. Come now Reme you now I'm no idiot. Fortunately my other victims weren't fighters but you I can actually say you might win that way but there are always other ways to catch your prey!" "Yeah, so what other way did you have in mind?" "Well now I knew I would have to be creative in my efforts because you have become a very worthy opponent and would probably kill me before I could complete it!" "And what makes you think I wont kill you now?" "Oh my dear sweet Reme cause I have something that your boyfriend loves and I know you would do whatever you had to do to make sure he was happy. Am I right?" She looked at Mitch who was staring at her. He was the first person, she thought of when she heard the word boyfriend but then realized, "Oh God Bosco!", covering the mouth piece and running out the door, Mitch following. She ran outside and stopped. "What do you want with him, he has nothing to do with this?" "Oh but he does, Reme. He became involved when he became involved with you. Now the question is, how much do you really care for this man, enough to trade your life for two others that he loves far more then you I can assure you of that!" "What the hell are you talking about?" And at that second realized who he meant. "Oh God," she thought again closing her eyes. "You think about that Reme my darling and I'll be in touch." He hung up and the whole world began to spin around Reme. "Oh God he has his mother and brother."
