Running on the sidelines

Chapter 16: Calling for Backup

-Sunday-

Calling the Director I dial up her number and wait for an answer as I sit in my office. After the third ring her voice is heard, "Agent Lambros is there anything you need." 

I answer her, "Actually yes Director, I have the location of the base the cartel uses also the identity of the leader of the operation. What I wish to speak to you about is that I'll be needing 4 squads for the raid I'm that will take place this week."

"Also I'll need a few officers in the juvenile department so we can go through with the arrests while the raid will be occurring." Waiting for her to answer to my requests I am not disappointed, "Agent the squads will deploy to your location in 2 days time with the officers from their department."

Thanking her for her cooperation I hang up the phone placing it on my desk. Preparing my notes and information on the intel I've gotten I spread them upon my desk for later observation. Exiting the room I lock the office preventing anyone from entering.

Heading to the girls' rooms I walk lazily. Getting to their doors I knock announcing my presence, as they look at me I direct both of them to one of their rooms. Settling down I say, "Girls I have colleagues that will be visiting in two days and I wanted to let you know before hand."

"Also I want you guys to know that no matter what, if something happens at the school not to be too curious and wanting to get answers." Questioning me they ask, "whats gonna happen at school." 

Answering I say, "I'll let you know after everything is handled okay." Nodding they lay down in boredom. Walking out of the room I head to the training grounds and pounce on the punching bag I have there. Making sure I am in shape I continue the rest of my day like I normally do.

-Monday-

Entering the school I can finally stop Milo from thinking that what ever he thought we had will continue. Catching him before his lunch finishes I sit at his table. Turning to look at me he goes to pull me into a kiss when he notices it's me. Stopping the kiss I push him away.

"Look Milo this can't continue." Gesturing between the both of us I speak, "It was fun really but I can't be with you forever when I don't have feelings for you." Offended he says, "Fun? So what you used me." "Hey I wasn't the one to make the first move remember. It was you not me."

Getting angry he says, "Okay. That's fine. I just should've known you were a b***h." The moment he called me that I looked him in the eye and say with venom in my voice, "This is why I don't like to deal with children. They always throw a tantrum."

Moving out of my seat I go to walk away but am halted by an angered voice, "That is no way to speak to a woman Mr. Harris." Turning to the voice I am met with a very pissed off Principal James. "I suggest you apologize to her NOW."

Gritting his teeth Milo forces out, "I apologize Nova. Please forgive me." Not waiting for my response he leaves the lunch room to his next class. Rolling my eyes at Milo I watch James as he is still very angry.

Not having seen Raphael James angry ever this surprised me. Honestly with this out of character James he made me fall even more for him. Just one insult about me and he's ready to defend me. Looking around the cafe I notice all the students with shocked faces. 

Pulling James out to the hallway I wait for him to calm down away from the attention of the school. Not letting go of my hand I wait for him to speak, as he raises his head to look at me I see a concerned gaze upon his face.

"Are you okay? He didn't say anything else did he or I swear I'll-" Interrupting him I say, "It's okay love I can handle myself. Even that little boy can't hurt me." At my term of endearment his cheeks are lightly tinted pink.

Knowing what I said I just smile towards him and pull him in to a strong embrace. Joining me he wraps his arms around my waist. Speaking into his ear in a whisper I say, "thank you for defending me Raphael." 

Feeling his body shiver from the whispering I tighten my hold on him before pulling away. I then ask him, "How about I treat you to a coffee?" "That would be lovely Star." Following me he first tells the secretaries he'll be out for half hour.

Entering my car I drive to my favorite cafe with James in the passenger seat. Ordering our drinks we take our seat in the cafe. Having a nice conversation we ended up staying 20 minutes more than we already planned.

Dropping him off at the school I wave him bye as I drive home to continue my training like the day before. 

-Tuesday- 

While the girls were at school I waited for the officers and the squad to arrive at my home. After a half hour of waiting I hear the gate's intercom sound. Answering I announce they will be opened, after they've been opened I watch 4 large S.W.A.T trucks come in with two government issued vehicles.

Leaving the gates open I wait for them to get to the door. Hearing aggressive knocks on the front door I open it leading everyone into my home. Thankfully everyone is dressed causally as I am only giving them a run down of what we'll be doing tomorrow.

As everyone enters I close the door and greet them properly. With 85 people in my home I direct them to the training grounds as it would be easier to deal with everything there. As we all get settled in I leave for a moment teleporting into my office to grab all the papers on my desk and teleporting back right beside the training grounds.

Reentering the room with a large stack of papers in hand I lay them on a large table. As everyone surrounds the table they look through all the information getting a feel of what we are dealing with. After an hour of going through the paperwork I watch them return everything onto the table. 

Not even after a moment I bring out the blueprint of the base and place it upon the table informing them on all the exits and where it'll be occupied. Understanding while asking questions we make a plan for the raid. 

Now speaking with the officers from the juvenile department I tell them, "Most of the kids we'll be taking in will be minors and thats where you come in. It'll be much easier to transport them with the correct department." 

At their questions I retort, "Although they'll be dealt with by your department you'll have to work with our division since we'll be needing any information that we don't already have."

Agreeing they all tell me they understand. Getting everyones attention I say, "The arrests and the raid will occur tomorrow. First apprehend the children by all means. No excessive force with them. After that is done we'll head to the base, there you can use excessive force if needed. If they have hostages one squad will be on a retrieval mission."

Listening to every word I say they take my orders with respect. Finishing up I lead them out after gathering the paperwork in my hand. Shutting the front door after them I teleport the papers back to my desk and prepare my suits for tomorrows raid.

Later the girls get home and ask if we can all go to a nearby arcade to have some fun. Agreeing I drive there while they play some music on the radio. Spending the rest of my day with them I am prepared to finish my job by the end of the week.

So much to do with so little time.
