"Listen, Walker." Casey looked at her imploringly. "I know what happened 2 months ago. I know that you led a group that was minutes away from taking down The Ring."

Sarah turned the safety back on and sat down on the sofa. Seeing that it was already safe to continue talking, Casey continued.

"I know that you lost your whole team to the bombing and that you were in a coma for 4 weeks. I know that it was Daniel Shaw who planted the bomb." Casey sat down in the couch adjoining her and looked at her downcast form. "And I also know that Daniel Shaw was your subordinate."

At that, Sarah looked at him sharply and spoke in a clipped tone. "How did you know that? Only Graham knew that Shaw worked for us!"

Casey raised one eyebrow and in a factual tone, he answered. "For the CIA, sure. But not for The Ring."

A look of realization dawned on her. "You mean…"

Casey nodded gravely. "Yes, that's what I mean. And that is exactly the reason why I need you. Listen, Walker. I may be the best from the NSA but even I know that I couldn't do it myself."

"Hey!" Nico interrupted. "What about me?"

Casey rolled his eyes and backpedaled. "We couldn't do it ourselves. Happy?" Casey looked at Nico with a grunt.

"Ecstatic." He replied.

"So, what's this new mission that you got for me?" Sarah interrupted their bickering.

"It's not a new mission. You will be joining us. There isn't anyone else out there who wants him dead as badly as you do… which makes you perfect for this mission." He held out a paper for her to take.

"Shaw met with his wife and his son, twice. Both separately. He had taken great precaution in remaining under the radar and for added caution, he assigned Ring agents for their protection."

She nodded in understanding. "So you want me to get them both?"

Casey grinned. "Wrong. We don't touch them." She raised an eyebrow in confusion. Nico continued what Casey started. "You see, that's what Shaw is expecting. He expects us to use his family to find him and to make him surrender. So we're not going to do it." He ended with a shrug.

Sarah's eyebrows rose together in surprise. "That simple?"

"Sometimes, the best plan is the straightforward attack. If you think about it too much, you'll go loco." Nico made twirling actions using his finger on his left ear. Casey gave a grunt that means: Kid's got a point.

With a sigh, Sarah looked at the two of them. "Fine. So what do I do?"

"I want you to talk to Shaw. He'll be in this café." Casey turned a photo in the coffee table for her to see. It was a quaint little café named Yummy Café. The servers were Chinese but the range of the menu was wide. Plus, it served meals from breakfast to lunch and on to supper.

"Me and Daniels here will be outside with a sniper. Anything goes wrong and we shoot." Casey walked over to a table and flipped it over. A wide array of handguns, semi automatics, and grenades were available. Casey picked a sniper and casually checked it out. "This baby can do anything." He told her in a voice laced with reverence.

"Listen, Colonel. I am tired and still reeling from the boatload of information you have supplied for me. If we could just get to the point, please?" Sarah said with a hint of annoyance.

Casey looked at her in respect. "That's more like it." He put the sniper down. "Moving on… The Ring has assigned a security detail for Daniel Shaw but he assigned that security detail to his wife and son. Having said that, he is even more alert and ready than ever. What you will do is simple. You just casually walk in the café, sit in front of his table and talk to him. Freak him out. Let him think that we are after his family to get to him."

"That's it?" Sarah had a dubious look on her face.

"For now, yes." Casey shrugged.

"Well, are you gonna let me in on the plan?" Sarah asked sarcastically.

"Patience, padawan." Casey replied with a smirk.

I am mentally incapable of making a long chapter so I'm sorry for that. However, I will make up for it by updating often.
