Holy fucking shit. Look at the two of them.
Boy I would pity the poor SOB´s if I weren´t so pissed of myself. Tank…I still can´t wrap my head around it but I have no reason to doubt, Beautiful. Not when she is backed up by Nighthawk. Nighthawk and Tell holy fucking shit. Beautiful was personally tutored by two military legends. Unfuckingbelievable. I have a funny feeling there is still much more to her than she has told us. I was right from the start when I said it´s not like it seems with beautiful betraying us.
Now Carlos is finally claiming her as his. He is right to do so or I would have moved in on her, family or not. Oh, I know they were designed for each other, but if my dear cousin hadn´t stepped up, I would have been happy with anything Beautiful could give me.

WOW! I didn´t see that coming. Tank…He sure had us fooled. All this time we were claiming to be aware of our surroundings. Aware we were indeed, so aware we didn´t see what was staring us right in the face. Bested by a chit of a white girl from the Burg.
As soon as this mess is sorted out and I can think clearly again I am chaining Bomber to a chair and demand answers to the questions I have.

I studied Psychology after I was discharged from the Navy due to medical reasons. I choose this area of study because I needed to understand my anxieties in order to move on after being held captive for months in a classified country. I was hired by RangeMan not only because of my military background but also due to my PhD. But now I am tempted to give back my certificate and buy me a copy of Psychology for Dummies. Not once in six years have I picked up on Tanks madness.
And Angel I don´t even know where to start…
As soon as we get back to Haywood, I´m going to sit her down and pick her brain until I´m completely satisfied that I understand even the smallest tidbit. I don´t like being ignorant of anything.

One thing above all others irked me. How in the name of God was Steph able to get around the security system I designed for RangeMan? When we are finished here I'm going to shanghai her to Miami and keep her there until we have gone over the system with a fine toothed comb and I know exactly how they bypassed it. Then I will design something new and she has to test it until it´s unbreakable.

Our little girl is all grown up. I still remember the 20 year old determined young woman I first met. Back then I could see the potential of what she could become, but what she became exceeded my expectation by far. She exceeded me. Until she became my successor I was the best spy the Agency had to offer.
I followed her career from the moment she graduated and the Manoso case was her masterpiece. Dupree was a nasty piece of work. In addition, her extracurricular activities…I bet she told Manoso only the gist of what went down in the last few years. What I would give to be a fly on the wall when she finally tells him the lengths she went to protect him?

I couldn´t be prouder of Nyx if she were my biological daughter. The way she handled our appearance and keeping us at gunpoint until we were thoroughly searched. She never wavered. She knew we would rather die than betray her, but she took no chances. Never trust anyone. Always cover your back. Don´t take anything for granted. We ingrained it in her.
She didn´t knew we were coming. Hell we didn´t know until Hades got a call from one of his contacts.
Nxy planned the takedown and closure of the case and asked us to lead the Alpha-Teams of Boston, Miami, and Atlanta. She told us she will quit her job at the FBI and the three of us silently agreed to keep an eye on her. We suspected that she would contact Ranger at some point and we knew `The Powers that be´ would not like that. Although we had no knowledge of her plans once the case was closed Hades had a feeling and usually his feelings are dead on.
Fifteen minutes after Hades received the call we dragged Morelli out of his bed and another ten minutes later, we were En route to Bodie, Washington. It was no coincidence that we were near Morelli´s hiding place. We suspected that he might have an idea where Nyx was. After all we taught her to always have back up plans for your back up plans.
And now here we are, risking our careers, freedom and life just like she would for us. Nobody paid or ordered us to do so; love and loyalty cannot be brought.
We will always have her back.

I am finally getting my wish. Nyx and Ranger –Yes Ranger was Manoso´s codename at the Rangers too, because that´s what he was, the ultimate Ranger- fighting together like it was always meant to be. Their enemies were to be pitied indeed.
I had hoped that Ranger would stop her; he was the only one who had the slightest chance to change her mind. I had accepted her decision to sacrifice herself to save our lives. I would never insult her by taking her choices or responsibilities away. I value my life too much to do that. But it made my heart cry to see her throwing her life away. So to see Ranger stepping in and recognizing Nyx for who she is made me all the more proud of him.
Now I´m going to sit back and enjoy watching them plan and execute justice…
