The "Old Men" as the "Young Guns" called them, were hastily making their way back to the rescue. Death was catching Dereck up on everything as Barney flew them across the ocean in what Christmas called the "Death Trap" of a plane. "So what we can assume is, Tripp killed Anna and faked his own death so he could go be a global arms dealer slash terrorist?" Death just shrugged his shoulders, "I guess so man." Dereck shook his head, "K.C's gunna take this bad. Her daddy was her world." "What exactly supposedly happened to him?" Toll Road questioned. Dereck sighed, remembering the night like it was yesterday. "When I got out, I became a volunteer fire fighter. Typical Friday night. High school football game, kids went to party afterwards and most of the parents had their own. My ole lady and I stopped at the liquor store for what we needed, Tripp and Anna were headed to the house. Next thing I know, I'm gettin calls that there's a bad wreck, explosion, fire, whole big deal. Wife drops me off at the station and I knew before we even pulled up who's truck it was. I was frozen. I guess they'd hit a big ass buck and the truck went into a huge oak tree. Only thing was, the Sherriff, and the emts were all shady on details. Nothing ever really felt right about it, but I was too hurt to ever look into it. I took K.C in and we bonded over it, which led to her decision to join the military, other than gettin away from my son. She left without a word." Ceasar nodded, "I hear her talkin to Smilee bout him a lot." Toll Road looked through his reading glasses, "I think she shares with him because they're in a similar type of situation. She wants us to see her has tough. No fear. What she don't know is, every time we step foot out there, were scared, for her, for us, for everyone." Everyone looked at him like the was crazy at his outburst of insightfulness.

On the other end of the waiting game, K.C was on the worst end of it. Menendez knew the government had intel on him and he wanted to know it. The redhead wasn't giving in to him, just buying time until rescue came. The others didn't know how much longer they could watch K.C being beat back and forth every time a snide comment to their enemies question came from her mouth. "Your mouth is gunna get you killed K.C" Smilee was serious as she rolled her eyes, "They're gunna beat me either way, might as well go out like the smart ass bitch I am." She half shrugged. Her heart told her the guys were coming, but her head told her to accept they were all dead. Then there was her gut feeling, which in the end, as what she always went with. Either way, she wasn't going down without some type of fight, if she even went down at all. Whether anyone liked it or not, she was goin the fuck home. "You're hard headed. " was all the former seal could come up with as a retort. She looked to each of them, determined to make them see. "We're gettin the fuck outta here. Whether anyone shows up or not. There's always a plan B." She winked. Gaulgo looked confused, "What's plan B?" K.C shrugged her shoulders with a smirk, "We wing it."
