They were in Russia, getting ready to rescue Jason. Hunter was going over their plans one last time.
"Baron and Max, you take the right side. We've got the left. Snipers on each of these buildings if anyone runs out. Check points here and here", Hunter said.
Everyone nodded. Max tightened her vest and hid her hair in a beanie.
"Good luck everyone. Lets get our man out safe", Hunter said.
Max and Baron took their team, which included. Bayley, Fandango, Tyler, Bo and Axel. Approaching the warehouse quietly and slowly.
"Now", Hunter said in their ear.
Baron threw a smoke bomb through the window. They could hear people coughing and cursing in Russian. They lowered their masks and rushed in. Shooting people who got in their way. They found Jason strapped to a chair, beaten and starved.
"Jason, can you hear me?", Max asked.
He groaned and it was hard for him to lift his head.
"Come on, answer me", Max said.
"Help me", Jason mumbled.
"You're safe now", Max said.
Bayley untied him. Fandango and Tyler lifted him. Dragging him out with everyone else surrounding them.
"Negative on Lana and Brock", Hunter said in their ear.
"Copy. We got Jason", Bo replied.
They quickly made their way to their car. They were close when someone started shooting at them. Hitting Max on her arm. She groaned and lid back on the floor. Bayley took her arm and wrapped it.
"The bullet didn't go through, we need to get you back to camp to remove it and stitch you up", Bayley said.
Max nodded.
"Axel, Bo, take them out now", Baron said.
They pulled their rifles from behind them and set them up.
"Snipe the sons of bitches", Baron said.
"Here by the vehicles waiting. Where are you?", Hunter asked in their ears.
"We are being shot at. Axel and Bo are on it. Max is shot, have a medic ready back at camp", Baron said.
"Got it", Hunter said.
"Don't tell Roman", Max said.
Baron chuckled.
"We are being shot at and that's what worries you", Baron said.
"Locked in", Bo said.
"Same here", Axel said.
"Now", Baron said.
Axel and Bo shot.
"Targets hit", Axel and Bo said.
Baron stood, taking the chance to see if it was safe to move.
"Lets go", he said.
They made their way towards the waiting cars. Hunter sent them a nod. Fandango ad Tyler set Jason in the back of a car, before it drove off.
"See you all back at headquarters. Max, take care of that arm", Hunter said.
Max nodded.
Roman was working on a new case when someone knocked on his office door. He looked up to see his ex wife.
"Hey", she said softly.
He leaned back in his seat. Tapping his pen on the open file in front of him.
"What are you doing here?", he asked.
"Just, I heard you worked here. I wanted to stop by to see how you are doing?", Eva asked.
"I'm fine", Roman said.
"And your marriage?", she asked.
"Way better than my first", he said.
She raised a brow.
"What do you want Eva? Are you looking for money? What?", he asked.
"I just wanted to say how sorry I was for acting the way that I did when we were together. For taking your money and treating you badly. I never meant to hurt you. I regret it all", she said.
"Well, thank you for apologizing to me", he said.
She nodded.
"Your kids are beautiful by the way", she said.
"Yeah, they have a great mom too", he said.
"I should have given you kids", she said softly.
"Eva, that was a long time ago. I've moved on and so should you. I love my wife and no matter what you say or what you wear, I will still always love my wife", he said.
"I somehow knew you were going to say that. Sorry to bother you", she said.
He nodded and watched her walk out. Dean and Seth rushed to his office and he smirked.
"What the hell as that witch doing here?", Dean asked.
"She came by to apologize. I think maybe she thought I would beg her to come back to me or that I would suggest cheating on my wife", Roman said.
"You didn't, did you?", Seth asked.
"What do you think?", Roman asked, giving his best friend a look.
Getting to the headquarters they had set up. Max got patched up and given pain medication. Jason was set up beside her. There was something bugging her about this who thing.
"Jason, how did you get out?", Max asked.
Jason turned to her.
"Lana. When we went in, she and some of her men were set up inside. They beat me and dragged me out. Next thing I know, I hear an explosion from the car. I look out the window and the building is coming down", Jason said.
"What were you doing alone? Why wasn't someone backing you up?", she asked.
"I don't really remember anymore Max, can you just drop it. I don't like to remember that time", Jason said.
"I'm just trying to understand", Max said.
"My dad is dead because of her. I didn't even get to go to his funeral", Jason snapped.
"I bet Alexa got in a few good shots", Max said.
"Yeah, she did. Now I see why you hate her so much", he chuckled.
She sat up.
"I should pack for our flight back home. Is there anything you need?", Max asked.
"Maybe some more meds", he said.
She nodded and left. Finding Hunter, Baron, and Alexa.
"We need to talk. All four of us", Max said.
Alexa looked excited to finally have Max talking to her. They walked into a private room.
"What's up Reigns?", Hunter asked.
"Garcia. Don't use my married name when on the job", Max said.
Hunter nodded.
"Got it", he said.
"So what's up?", Baron asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I don't know what it is, but I don't trust Jason", Max said.
"What do you mean?", Hunter asked.
"I asked him about what happened. How he got out of there alive. He says Lana and a few of her men were at the house in a room, they beat him, and dragged him out.", Max said.
Hunter walked out of the room.
"That's not right, I was with Lana on that day. She couldn't possibly have been there and with me at the same time", Alexa said.
"Someone find me Zayn", he shouted.
He walked back into the room. Sami walked in and closed the door behind him.
"I need you to pull of the surveillance video of the explosion", Hunter said to him.
"What angle?", Sami asked.
"All sides", Hunter said.
Sami nodded and clicked away. Each angle popping up on the screens in front of them.
"Lana never goes in. Some of her men did, but they left right after. Each one", Baron said.
"Jason said he got out. How? We would have seen him", Max said.
"Were there any underground tunnels?", Hunter asked.
Baron went over to his laptop and pulled up the plans.
"Just a basement, but again, if he would have crawled out, we would have seen him", Baron said.
"Unless he never went in", Max said.
They all looked at her.
"You think he would really do that? I mean, his dad was in that group", Alexa said.
"I also asked him if Alexa got a few shots in and he said she did. Which knowing now that she was undercover, she would have told you about him", Max said.
Hunter nodded.
"So are you saying what I think your saying?", Hunter asked.
"He's flipped", Alexa and Max said.
The women looked at each other and smiled.
"So what do we do now?", Hunter asked.
"I have an idea, but I don't know how much any of you are going to like it", Max said.
"Anything to catch that bitch and that idiot", Hunter said.
Max nodded. She looked at Sami.
"Have the doc give Jason some hard shit to knock him out. Grab his phone and chip it. I want to know who he calls and who calls him", Max said.
Sami nodded and left the room.
"So what's the plan?", Alexa asked.
While everyone was sleeping. Jason sat up and called Lana.
"Are you in?", she asked.
"Yes. No one is suspicious. They've suspended the flight back home for a few days. They want me to recover and Max too. She was shot and don't want her flying.", Jason whispered.
"Where is the airstrip you are all leaving from?", Lana asked.
"Private airstrip. I'll text you the coordinates", Jason whispered.
"Don't get on that plane", Lana said.
She hung up and Jason swallowed. He didn't know how he was going to convince everyone that he didn't want to leave yet. He laid back down.
Max called Roman. She knew he was probably fast asleep, but he answered anyway.
"Hello", he said groggy.
"Hey sleepy head. Sorry to wake you", she said smiling.
"Don't apologize my love. I get to hear your voice and that's all that matters now", he said.
She smiled.
"How's it going?", he asked.
"We got him", she said.
"That's great. Is he ok?", he asked.
She sighed.
"He won't be for long", she said.
"What does that mean?", he asked.
"It's a long story, just know that I love you", she said.
"I'm getting a bad feeling here Max", he said.
"Deep breath Reigns. I'm fine, well, except my arm", she said.
"What about your arm?", he asked, sitting up more in bed.
"I sort of got shot", she said.
"What?", he almost shouted.
"But I'm fine. They have me on antibiotics", she said.
She heard him sigh.
"When are you coming home? I need you here with me. I need to see that you are in one piece and not injured more than you already are", he said.
She smiled.
"I'll be home in a few days. Just waiting for Jason to heal up more", she said.
"I need a day Max", he said.
"Two, three tops", she said.
"I'm counting the hours now", he said.
She smiled.
"How are my babies?", she asked.
"Missing you, but all around good", he said.
"Kiss them extra long for me", she said.
"Always do my love", he replied.
He cleared his throat.
"What?", she asked.
"Eva came to see me yesterday", he said.
She sat up more.
"And?", she asked.
"She just wanted to apologize for everything she did to hurt me. I think she was waiting for me to fall into her arms again or something, but I didn't. I sent her on her way.", he said.
"Good. Remind me to kick her ass the next time I see her", Max said.
He laughed.
"What are you wearing right now?", she asked.
He laughed harder.
"I believe these lines are being listened in on", he said.
"So what, they need a bit of action too", she said.
"I am not doing this", he said.
"Fine", she sighed.
"I love you, my wife", he said softly.
"I love you more", she replied.
"Goodnight", he said.
"Night", she didn't want to hang up with him, but she had no choice.
Her time was up and he knew it. He was use to it. She set the phone down and looked at Sami.
"Thank god he didn't tell you what he was and wasn't wearing", Sami said.
Max laughed and left the room to get some sleep.
