Tension filled the airplane as it approached the compound. Ram’s gaze swept the packed interior but settled on Levi and his team. They’d kept themselves apart from everyone else, their need for space evident in their cut-off, succinct responses whenever addressed.

Gavin floated between the assorted groups, an unwanted magpie in a plane of predators.

“Something serious went down,” Spade commented.

Yeah, no shit. Ram knew the woman in the cage had been handed over to Medina’s team. She was now secure within the underground network. No other intel was shared beyond that.

“Those colored toys were fun to play with.” Spade laughed. The sound fractured some of the tension within the plane as its wheels touched down.

A few of the other operatives around them chuckled.

“That so?” Beast asked from the back. “How?”

“I predict we’ll have new drones soon,” Ram said. “Spade here strapped a clamp to their belly and Operations flew Bree’s new color-coded grenades straight into the area. First one blew up the weapons cache. Then they flew it back, reloaded it, and did it again on the northwest corner.”

“While two more dropped new green grenades into the middle of over a dozen targets,” Gage said. “Knocked their asses right out. That left half a dozen inside. Easiest takedown we’ve had with that many combatants in a long time.”

All thanks to Bree. Ram couldn’t help but grin. Gage had secured a lot of intel about Alex’s operation, but he hadn’t shared yet—which was fine. Debrief on this phase of the mission would be extensive. It’d take a while for Operations to hone in on what mattered, though.

Gavin entered the bathroom. Levi stood and made his way toward where everyone else was seated. His gaze cut to where Gavin had gone.

“Off the record, we don’t know what went sideways,” Levi said, his voice barely audible. Worry reflected in his gaze when it settled on Gage. “Edge went nuclear. I’ve never heard her that pissed. Cord took over right after she told us the woman’s real name. Melanie. That’s all we’ve got so far.”

“The kids?” Mia asked.

“Not at any of the sites,” Addy clipped, anger evident in her tone. “We detained who was there, more of Alex’s crew. That’s all we know, aside from the bomb Mary dropped about a potential former Mossad being involved.”

Homeland hadn’t fucked around. They’d arrived within an hour and secured all the locations. Ram wasn’t sure how Mary had made that happen, but he was thankful someone had shown up to take over the cleanup. As long as they didn’t get in the way with the rest of the mission.

But no one danced with the feds like The Arsenal, who always managed to lead. Bob might not be in their corner right now, but their contract with the president gave them carte blanche. Whoever was behind this would pay.

Everyone disembarked the plane. Gage stilled beside him. His gaze swept toward the hangar where Mary stood. Alone.

“Fuck. This isn’t good,” Spade commented.

No. No, it wasn’t. Fury filled the woman’s face and stance.
