Niko Meet Sam.
9:50 AM
Sam tock a seat in coffee room. Picked up the dossier on Niko and thumbed though it. Niko was a real piece of work. Attempted murder, drug dealing, racketeering, the list went on. He looked up at Fisher who was drinking a coffee. Sam:
' Niko knew someone was after him, hence the closed blinds and covered windows in his apartment. Whatever he knows, he's not going give it up, but I doubt he wants to die.'
Fisher looked at Sam, wanting to see where he would go with this. Sam continued:
'Theres no point trying to get him to speak, as far as he is concerned he is being held by the police and has nothing to worry about, but he most know something'.
Sam cursed to himself, why didn't Luke notice the windows and search the immediate roof tops. Jerry and Nolle walked past the coffee room, noticing Sam with his new best friend. They still had no idea what was going on but they were not happy with him. Jerry was tempted to go in there and find out what was going on, but decided against. Best had let everyone know to give Sam a wide birth.
Sam looked up and saw Jerry and saw his stare. He then looked at Fisher and grinned. Fisher was unsure what was going though Sam's mind, but wanted to see what he was made out of.
'Fisher we need a police car, and another car'
'My car is outside, full tactically kit inside, whats the police car for ?'
'If Niko wants to be free, then I say we let lose'
Fisher went to the front desk of the holding cell area, while Sam went to get Niko. He plastic cuffed him and lead him out. Fisher got the released ok'ed and made sure that the paper work was processed there and then, saying that Niko was being submitted into witness protection and transported to his apartment to gather some personal belongs and then onto a secure location. He made sure to note the squad car number in the file and the route that they would take. He was playing devils advocate. He knew that the extremist group was good and most likely monitoring police coms, so the idea was to get the information out that Niko had turned and was helping the police. A few police officers in a squad car would be no problem for them and thats what he was betting on. They would make a move on Niko and then he could grab one of them and go from there. Fisher had even made sure that Jo and Luke had got the information so they would start digging into and nudge the extremist group along.
Jo and Luke had tried go and speak to Andy, but the protective detail hadn't allowed them to. When they pushed hard to see Andy one of Fishers men had calmly taken his LWRC PSD assault carbine off safe while looking them in the eye. They got the message and then went to see Niko just as Sam was bringing him out. Luke rushed forward and tried to grab Niko's arms shouting at Sam
'Where the hell do you think your taking him ?'
Sam pushed Luke's arm off Niko, and pushed Niko to the floor. Luke then went to grab Sam's arm. Sam quickly spun Luke around facing the wall and smashed his head against the wall. Jo went to intervene, only to be meet by Sam's hand going for his gun, ready to draw. She backed off, hands in the air.
After about 3 seconds he stepped away,got Niko and walked towards Fisher. Fisher just saw what had happened and had a grin on his face. Sam looked at Fisher
'What?'
'Nothing, just its always good watching a man gain his freedom'
Sam smiled at this.
Getting to Fishers car, a black 4x4, He put Niko in the back. Sam got in the drivers side, and Fisher got in the passenger seat. Sam tock out the remaining 5 Glock 21sf magazines and put them in the glove box, noticing the 4 or 5 1911 magazines that were already in them, most likely belong to Fisher.
Sam was in deep thought. He was still dealing this what Andy had said to him. Fisher knew this but he needed Sam focused.
'So Sam whats the plan ?'
'Worm on a hook, we drive Niko back to his apartment in a squad car. You take your car and follow, but not too close. Who ever wants Niko dead will hopefully make a move, at which point you can we can grab them and see where that leads'
Fisher took this on board. It was a good plan, the only problem was that Sam was in as much danger as Niko.
'Ok'
With that Fisher got out and drove the squad car round so it was behind his car. He went round to his car and opened the back, taking out two duffle bags and placing them on the trunk. Sam walked over and looked in the first one. He tock out a HK UMP 45 kitted out with a Echo Tech 552 scope and a surefire torch attached to the front left rail. He slapped in a new magazine, chambered a round and put the weapon on safe, placing it next next to the drivers side. A bandolier was in the other duffle bag with 6 spare UMP magazines, a small pouch for 2 flash bangs and a Glock 19 holster in a cross draw fashion with what looked like 2 spar magazines. He placed the bandolier in the passenger seat. While Sam was doing this Fisher had taken out a LWRC PSD carbine with a similar loaded out bandolier and placed them in the front of his car.
Andy and Traci were being escorted out of the 15 with full armed detail and taken to a safe location. They both witnessed what Sam and Fisher preparing there kit and just looked on, in shock. They were as much in the dark as they were 20 minutes ago, but now the gravity of the situation was starting to become clear. What ever Sam was involved it was serious. She stopped wanting to go over and try and speak some sense into him, but she was just ushered along with Traci into a waiting black SUV. Jerry run out of the 15 to Traci.
'Traci what is going on ?
She looked at him. She was tired. This morning had been emotional. All she could muster while she held onto Andy was:
'Ask Sam' motioning towards Sam and Fisher getting ready. Jerry looked over and saw Sam with the UMP. It wasn't a person he knew anymore. He had know Sam for close to 7 years and he was one hell of a cop, but this was a different animal.
Sam finished prepping the squad car, and got Niko from Fishers car. Niko protested
'What the fuck are you doing, where are you taking me man ?'
Sam punched him in his stomach hard and shoved him in the back of the squad car. Closing the door, he walked round to the driver side.
Andy's SUV pulled out. Traci was cuddling her but all she could focus on was Sam getting into a squad car.
Fisher: 'Good luck'
Sam just nodded and got in, started the car and tock lead.
