Hereford Base; Bravo Squad Dorm

Derek POV

You stared at the tablet Mark had on the counter reading over the same file as before. The one about Felix. Voices started to become more clear as a pair of fingers snapped in front of you

Mickey: Helloooo. Earth to Derek.

Derek: What is it Sean.

Mickey: We got that charity event coming up, what's your walk out theme.

Derek: I don't know, first few second of the 2012 remaster of "Sweating Bullets"?

Mickey: I'll just do "Get Busy" by Sean Paul.

Derek: Do whatever you want.

NATO: If you're done reading over the same words, can't we talk business?

Derek: Well for starters I want more intel on how they have info on Felix. And why it's recent.

NATO: If Six can hire me a crew I can get it done as soon as possible, but doubt it'll go through.

Derek: Who did you have in mind?

NATO: An old group, ever hear of the Edgerunners?

Demo: I'm sorry, did I just hear my ears right? Or did you just say the Edgerunners.

NATO: I did.

Demo: You're talking about a group of mercenaries and some bad motherfuckers at that. Can you even trust them?

NATO: I ran ops with them before, they owe me.

Mickey: When the fuck was this?

NATO: Remember that time I got accepted to take a month off to go back home for a mental break?

Mickey: Yea we were worried about your sta-... oh you motherfucker.

NATO: Yea I lied just to get out of base and away from the commotion. In reality, I went out to give them a hand. They have the people for this job, just need to wave the right amount of coin in their face.

Derek: In this case they can have the info from one of the best Private Military Organizations.

NATO: So you want to pitch the idea to Harry?

Derek: I need to know how much you can trust them.

NATO: I trust them enough to get the job done efficiently, they have the hackers I need to bypass into their systems. Just need you to give the word.

You thought about it for a second before looking back at Mark

Derek: Alright, but if you're wrong about them, just know you won't hear the end of this.

NATO: I understand my position, however I still stand by it.

Derek: Good, makes you all the more trustworthy. I'll go speak with Harry about these arrangements, even if it'll cost an arm and a leg to get it going.

You sat up and left the dorm and started to head to Harry's office

Nighthaven HQ

IQ POV

You sat on a bench in the armory with your foot tapping the floor rapidly. You stopped tapping when you saw Ela walk over with a water bottle and sit down

Ela: Thought you could use the drink.

You accepted the water and took a sip before putting it on the ground

IQ: Thanks, just nervous is all.

Ela: Monika, no one wanted to be in your position.

IQ: But it's the way Grim took it out of my hands, I mean what if we're wrong for this?
