Roman pulled his knife back out of the chest of the man in front of him. Another man down. He and his two team mates were moving as silently as they could to remain unseen for as long as possible. Use knives before guns to not be heard. That was their usual memo. A gun shot was heard and he gritted his teeth. They had been spotted. Time to shoot their way through everything and everyone as fast as possible.

"Seth?" Roman asked.
"Got him," Seth's voice came through Roman's earpiece.
"Dean?" Roman asked.

Another gun shot was heard and then Dean chuckled in Roman's earpiece.

"I got one too," Dean said.
"How many left?" Roman asked.
"I see three," Seth answered. "And they're panicking. They probably don't know they're the only ones left."
"One for each," Roman smirked to himself. "I'll be with you in ten seconds. Don't go hunting without me, boys."
"I'm on my way too," Dean said.

Roman found Seth and Dean as promised in ten seconds. Dean had arrived just two seconds before Roman. They had never been far apart. They all stared at the three men that were trying to make sense of the gun shots they had heard.

"Ready?" Seth asked.
"I was born ready," Dean answered.
"I'll take right," Seth said.
"Middle for me," Roman said.
"And that leaves left for me," Dean said. "Let's do this. In 3, 2, 1."

The three men ran in and took down a man each at the same time. The poor suckers never stood a chance with the special task force known as The Shield.

"Keys," Seth said.

He grabbed a set of keys hanging from one of the dead men's jeans loops. Roman nodded at Seth and moved further into the building. They moved quickly from room to room to make sure there were no one left standing. They finally found a locked door by the end.

"Open it," Roman said.

Seth tried a few keys until he found one that fit. He unlocked the door and the three men stepped inside. They all sighed in relief when they found what they had been looking for. Women locked in cages. All of these women had been missing for a shorter or longer time. They weren't sure how many missing cases they were gonna solve by taking this mission but it sure was a lot by the looks of it.

"We're here to help you," Seth said.
"Please," a woman cried.
"Seth, unlock the cages," Dean said.

Roman found his phone and called the number where people were waiting to hear back from the three Shield members. The call was answered after one ring by the man who had been working on most of these missing cases for a long time. Detective Kurt Angle.

"What have you got?" Kurt asked.
"We found them," Roman answered. "I don't know who they are but there's around 15 women here. It's all clear. You can send in your men."

Roman hung up and looked at all the unlocked cages. Women were making their way out of them. Seth and Dean tried their best to help those who needed it. Roman turned his head and watched a blonde woman lying on a mattress in her cage with her back against them all. She hadn't moved at all.

"Shit," he whispered.

He moved into her cage, afraid that they might have been too late for this one. Since she hadn't moved at all to even look at them as they stormed the place, he feared she might be dead. He crouched down behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder. A small shiver went through her. He breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wasn't dead.

"Are you okay?" He asked. "We're here to help you. You're free. No one's gonna hurt you anymore."

When she didn't respond, he leaned further over her to get a look on her face. Her dark grey eyes were open. She was staring at the wall. There wasn't much life behind that look. He didn't need a doctor to tell him. He could see it. She was in a state of depression and probably didn't care about anything anymore. He couldn't blame her.

"I'm Roman," he continued. "Can you tell me your name?"
"Spring," she said.

He smiled at the sound of her voice. At least she heard him and she understood.

"That's a beautiful name," he said. "What's your last name?"
"Evans," she said.
"Spring Evans," he said. "Let's get you out of here. Can you turn around for me?"

She rolled over on her back. It took a few seconds before she actually looked at him. He couldn't begin to imagine what she had been through in this place. He had to look her up when he got home to try and figure out a little bit about her case and when she went missing.

"Let me help you up," he said.

He held out a hand and waited for her to take it. He didn't wanna come across as forceful in any way. When her hand landed in his, it felt like all air was sucked out of him. This was not the time or place to suddenly get weird feelings towards a woman. He kept it within and pulled her up to sit. He stood up and helped her up to stand as well.

"Are you in any pain?" He asked.
"Yes," she answered.
"Where?" He asked.
"Everywhere," she answered.

He gently placed an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his side. He kept holding on to her to try and protect her a little bit as he walked her through the place. When they stepped outside, a lot of vehicles drove up. Police cars and ambulances. She buried her head in his vest as if she didn't want to leave him.

"It's okay, Spring," he said. "They're here to help you."
"What about you?" She asked.
"I've already helped you as much as I can. I'm not a doctor. You need to go with them to the hospital," he said.
"But I wanna stay with you," she said.

A doctor ran up to them and placed a hand on her shoulder. She shivered in fear and tried holding on to Roman. His heart broke for her. Of course she had no idea who to trust in all this, and for some reason she placed her last shreds of trust on him. He didn't want to let her go but he had to. He managed to pull her free so he could look at her.

"You gotta go with them. They're here to help you. It's important that you go," he said.

She didn't say anything. She turned to face the doctor and followed him towards the ambulance. Roman watched as she was helped inside the vehicle. The doors closed and he could no longer see her.

"Are you okay, brother?" Seth asked.

Roman turned his head to see his two brothers in arms standing there.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Roman said. "She was scared. And honestly, who can blame her?"
"They all are," Dean said.
"But we got them out," Seth said. "Another job well done."
