"We'll go down in flames together." - Simon Curtis, Soul 4 Sale
Sirens blaring, lights flashing, they pull up to the church. Ryan, Mike, and Max get out of the car. Max went off to set up some computers, since they were first on seen besides the agents that had been watching Tanner. Mike followed Ryan towards the other agents.
Ryan doesn't think he should be here right now. Mike shot Lily Gray in cold-blood only a few hours ago. He should be back at the apartment, waiting to hear something. But Mike is needed here just as much as Ryan is. Ryan just has to hope that the story they gave the other agents sticks.
"What happened?" Clarke looked pointedly at Ryan, waiting for him to explain what happened.
"Lily tried to run. Agent Weston told her to stop. When she didn't, he shot her. That's what happened." Ryan stated as if it was true. Mike had lied for him before, here he was returning the favor.
"What do we got?" Ryan asked one of the agents.
"911 call saying that people had stormed the church shooting," the man answered. "Call disconnected before we were able to get any more information. No shots since then. No demands either."
"Alright. Let's see if we can't get some eyes on what's going on in there." Ryan gave out orders, "You go with Simons, check the west side. Keep an eye out for followers. No one goes inside until we can get a visual of who's in there. Ryker, you come with. We'll check the east side. Radio if you find anything." Turning towards Mike, Ryan added, "Be careful."
Mike nodded, "You, too."
All four drew their guns, heading towards their side of the church. Ryan had a glimpse of Mike's calm and ready to strike figure before he disappeared around the side of the building. Ryan hoped Mike won't shoot anyone else unless they came at him with a weapon. More so, he hoped Mike won't have to deal with any of Joe's people today.
Some things never go the way you hope they will.
