“So, what’ve you got?” Molly asked as she strode into the lab they were using as a base on The ArchAngel.

Paige and Maya were looking exhausted from the work, but their spirits were higher than Molly expected.

Paige scraped her stool backwards as she stood up. “We’ve made some progress on Chaakwa’s case,” she announced brightly. Her cheeks swelled with pride, as she managed to muster her signature grin.

Molly wandered over to where the girls were set up with their array of holoscreens all over the bench. “Show me,” she said.

Maya and Paige ran through the various points of intel they had gathered, pinpointing each of the players who had been involved in the sinister demise of Chaakwa’s father.

“Depending on how you’d like to handle this,” Maya explained, “I think we can probably enlist some help from some of his old buddies on the force. Chaakwa was clear that she wanted to take them in and give them a trial, so they would be publicly found guilty, and exposed.”

Molly bobbed her head as she reviewed a holo that Maya had just passed her. “I see. So she didn’t go for putting a bullet through them?” she confirmed.

Maya shook her head. “Nope.”

Molly smiled. “I like her…”

Maya and Paige exchanged glances, relaxing a little. They knew that violence had its place, especially in an outfit like the military; but still, they found it a relief that they weren’t going to have to be down for the killing on this one. Even though some of the fuckheads downright deserved it.

Molly pushed the holoscreen back toward Maya. “Okay, finish the background checks on these guys, and see if there is a way to get them all in one place. This will be far cleaner if we can round them up and then hand them over in one go.”

Maya nodded in agreement.

Molly turned to leave. “As soon as we get done with this business with Shaa, that’s next on our agenda.”

Molly breezed out of the room, pleased they were making progress on something.

So it sounds like you’re going to go ahead and let Giles do this?

Yes. I think I need to. We’ve tried the overt assault, and we need another way.

And the fact that he isn’t even on your team…?

It’s a concern, of course. But we supported him in regaining that talisman, and I have a gut feeling our job isn’t done with that yet… Plus, the guy is convinced he knows what he’s doing. And I’m almost tempted to believe him.

And if he can’t get out?

Then we find a way to get him out.

The odds of success on this are low. I can share with you the parameters if you-

That won’t be necessary, Oz. I think it’s something he needs to do… and that we need to let him do.

Well, you can’t pretend to me you’re not uneasy about it.

Of course I’m uneasy about it.

Molly continued down the corridor, heading back to her quarters. There was work to be done before they would be ready to deploy Giles in the morning.
