"Defence? What exactly are you defending." She said, almost sarcastically.
"Things you'd rather not know about." He smiled, before walking past her, "Follow me agent."
She stood up and did as she was told.

They walked to the main facility where everyone was, each doing one thing or the other with the several super computers placed in front of them.
Hott walked her to a separate aisle, where a dyed brown haired woman stood backing them and a man was busy operating the system with him.
The woman turned as they reached her, Hott stood between both of them.
"Agent Grey meet my chief agent, Talia Winter, also known as the Black Hawk. Hawk, Grey." He introduced, they nodded.
Hott tapped the man that operated the system, "This is Jacob Hunts, our fetish technician." He smiled while Jacob turned the chair towards her and gave an affirmative sign by placing two of his fingers on his forehead and directing it to her.
Grey heaved, "Look I get it, I owe you one. But right now I have to return back to my people and investigate the death of my team."
Hott turned to her, "As far as everyone's concerned, Grey Quinn is dead, she died with the soldiers in Manzanillo three days ago."
"What?"
"Yeah, and lucky for you, it's exactly what you need now. To keep off the books." Talia said.
"So I can't return?"
"You could. But you risk the safety of your loved ones. We believe whoever plotted against you wanted all of you dead, once they see you are alive and that could expose them. Boom..." Hott replied.
Grey was not getting better by the moment.
She sighed at last, "I guess I am now a ghost."
Hott becks his head,
"So what now?"
Hott smiled and walked past her to sit on a vacant seat, "Now we introduce F.O.R.C.E."
Talia faced her, "We plan on freeing the kidnapped girls and putting Terrors in custody."
"What about those who plotted against me?" Grey asked.
"We believe they are the same people that orchestrated the Terrors, meaning you have a traitor in your military."
"What?"
"That'll explain how you guys were tricked. It's a pretty smooth technique. Send your armies to the field and kill them, blame the deaths on your enemy and that will keep them off your tail." Hott smiled.
"And whoever is holding those girls is planning something else. Something we have to prevent." Talia added.
"You guys need me to help you get some credits, while I get my revenge." Grey said.
"Political." Said Hott.
Grey looked around the facility, "I believe you will need clues to achieve that."
"Oh we have clues. But we won't discuss that yet, we need the last piece."
"The last... You have someone else in mind?"
Hott grinned, "Yeah, Scott Steel."
"Scott Steel? Why does that sound familiar?" Grey mumbled.
"It should, he was one of the best spy in the world, probably the last; lately he's been keeping a low profile while his heroism continues to flood social medias. And also he is a maniac." Talia said.
Grey nodded in-distinctively.
"He is our red flag Hawk. You don't have to be that nice to him." Hott smiled.
"So how do we make him help us?" Grey asked.
"Trust me that's not going to be a problem, the problem would be finding him. He is been like a chameleon this past few years, changing identity in different continents." Talia said.
"Well luckily our very own Jacob is more than capable to sniff him out." Hott gave the latter the cue, as he quickly got started with his computer.
"Okay, I'm going to scan for face reference and prints..." He said, whilst punching the keyboard as Talia rolled her eyes, "And that should pinpoint him at..."
"Hawaii island?" He said in confusion.
Talia scoffed, "See? maniac."
Hott smiled, "Better get used to him Hawk, you have a subtle mission with him." He said, before walking to the centre of the facility, "Okay guys. I'll need the retrieval team on this one, we are going to Hawaii."
