The team went in frenzy while searching for Gandia. He couldn't have hidden someplace else since they already discovered his panic room but he can be anywhere. Raquel already directed them to remain calm and she assigned their posts. They are to contact her if they spot Gandia. She partnered them up so no one will face the assassin alone. She is not going to make the same mistake of leaving a colleague alone.
Tokyo accompanied her in searching for Gandia. She knows she can count on her when it comes to fighting. Tokyo reacts when it matters and Raquel needs someone like that right now.
"Professor, talk to me. I need eyes", Raquel said through the comms.
"I am still trying to find him. Hold on", Sergio said while searching the monitor for Gandia.
His heart is pounding knowing that Raquel is now inside the bank with a loose assassin who already killed one of them not too long ago. While watching Raquel and Tokyo walked, he spotted a shadow following the two ladies.
"Someone is following you. I am not sure if it's him. I couldn't get a good view", he said.
Raquel nodded to Tokyo. It is him. He knows where the cameras are placed so he's avoiding them.
"Are you sure you're prepared for this, Lisbon? There is still time to back out", Tokyo teased with a smirk.
She can feel that Tokyo wants Gandia for herself and that kind of desire is most likely to get her killed. Too much thirst for revenge can make someone clumsy and being clumsy will not work on their opponent.
"Get in line, Tokyo", she said.
When they went inside the library, Sergio saw Gandia followed them. He's not armed but he's very capable to kill with his bare hands.
"Raquel…he's in there with you. Call for back up", he said, his voice sounded like pleading.
Marseille arrived and saw what's happening on the monitor. How he wish to be inside the bank so he can Gandia himself but it's his job to protect the Professor. Raquel can feel Gandia shadowing them so when he made the first move and jumped on them, Raquel's reflexes kicked in fast and shoved Tokyo away. It's proven to be the best decision since Gandia was able to find a broken piece of wood and tried to use it to stab Tokyo. She seemed to be his target.
Sergio gripped the edge of the desk when it started. He wanted to jump in there and get Raquel out but he can't. He's trapped inside the safe house watching through a screen. Tokyo got back on her feet quickly but Gandia is already on her and tried to strangle her with his hands. Raquel kicked him hard removing him from Tokyo.
"Get the hell out of here!" Raquel yelled at the young girl. Tokyo frowned unable to get a grip of what's happening. "He's after you so get the hell out of here", she clarified.
"I am not leaving you. No one will fight him alone. That's the plan, remember?" Tokyo refused.
"Tokyo…that is an order. Get out and get the others", Raquel insisted using a firmer tone.
Tokyo can read between the lines. Gandia is not leaving the library alive. If Raquel won't be able to stop him, the others have to be there in time to stop him once and for all. She ran away fast. Gandia tried to follow her but Raquel pointed her gun at him making him stop on his tracks.
"I know you", Gandia muttered when he got a good look at her. "Think you can stop me with your girl gun", he teased.
Raquel is not intimidated at all. In fact, she tossed her gun aside which made Gandia raised an eyebrow.
"I don't need a gun to kill you but unlike you, I don't murder someone who's defenseless so let's make this fight fair, shall we?" Raquel said.
She produced a knife and tossed another one at him which he caught with a smirk. One thing is for sure, Gandia likes a challenge. He's been benched to being a head of security in a bank and he's been longing for some action. Thinking about it, he's been waiting for this heist for quite a long time.
"You should know, I won't hold back just because you're a girl", he said.
"I promised to do the same", she replied.
Sergio looks like he's about to have a heart attack. The love of his life is about to fight a freaking assassin right after the police faked her execution. It is too much for his brilliant mind to process.
"Raquel, what are you doing?" he said but she didn't reply making him even more nervous.
The two started fighting and they're more than matched. Every move was done fast. It couldn't be compared to the training session they had in Italy where Raquel and Marseille fought each other as demonstration. No one is causing any damage to each other and the fight is getting more and more heated.
"You're good, Inspector. Such a waste of talent…" Gandia mocked.
"My talent is not wasted. Yours, however, that is a waste. For someone who's been sent in Iraq. I expected more. I hate to say this but I am very disappointed", Raquel mocked him back and it hit a nerve.
"You worked as an ops", he noticed and Raquel only smirked as response.
She attacked this time not giving him any time to make his move. Gandia did his best to deflect but she kept on going slicing his arms, back, torso, thigh even his leg. Gandia's blood is dripping everywhere. When the rest of the team arrived armed with guns, Gandia is already bleeding so much. He acted desperately and launched at Raquel pinning her against the bookshelf. They all held their breath fearing the worst but then Raquel turned them around, shoved Gandia's head into the bookshelf and moved around it to pull his head further. Raquel put the knife inside his shoulder blade eliciting a loud cry from the cold-hearted man and then used both her hands to hold his head and pushed it against the hard wood of the bookshelf, breaking his neck in the process.
Gandia dropped on the floor lifeless as Raquel catches her breath. Her adrenaline is pumping hard in her veins. The noise around her disappeared even Sergio's voice who is saying something in her earpiece. It's like she got disconnected from her own body. Her eyes fell on Monica who is shaking her, telling her things that she cannot understand. It took her few more minutes of disconnection before things returned to normal.
"Lisbon? Are you hurt? Did he stab you somewhere?" Monica asked in panic.
"Raquel? Are you alright? Raquel?" Sergio asked as well, more panicked than Monica.
"Yeah…yeah…I'm fine", she managed to answer before turning around to see Gandia's dead body on the floor.
The others double checked if he's really dead and when Helsinki confirmed it, everyone let out a sigh of relief except Raquel. She remained quiet.
"Everyone get back to their posts. We have heist to finish", she ordered and then left the room.
