The Agent's Priority

C45

My body went rigid and my eyes darken at the mere sight of the large mansion we will be invading as soon as this vehicle stopped

Rafa might be there

No. Rafa must be there

"Hey.." I heard Lance's quiet and soft voice next to me but I ignored it and continue to stare at the mansion we're nearing "..Zaia, I-I know that you're still upset at me but I just— don't want you acting berserk and without thinking— I never meant to say that you'll screw this up but—"he sighed and I felt myself clench my fists "We'll get him out... no matter the cost alright? Just hold onto the sanity and patience you still have left in you and lets try and not to spill any blood yes?"

Grunting through my nose softly I let a small grin to appear on my lips as I remember those days when he would try this same tactic to remind me not to kill anyone if necessesary

I just could not promise about this one... just a single hair out of place on Rafa's head, I won't be too sure to be able to hold myself back

"I just want to be clear.." I began my grin fading as I turn from my seat to face Lance's determined and composed self in a full dark FBI thick uniform with the bulging bulletproof vest and his rifle strap to his chest

I stare at him first long and hard as he wait for me to finish my words

"Once inside, Rafa's safety is my top priority... over all of you and even mine" I paused then flicking my eyes away from his widened blue eyes "So watch over your own selves and the others"

When I said that I look away after witnessing the full on shock and speechlessness written over his features

It was unusual of me to prioritize a mere civillian over our fellow comrades considering I always put their safety more specifically Lance whenever we are in our dangerous solo missions over anyone, be it the very own victim we would be rescuing I never let Lance nor my fellow agents risk their lives even if it was that ass of a President himself in danger.

But this one, its Rafa who's inside that mansion

Rafa is the one we'll be rescuing, his life is at risk this time

Other's be damned... people inside that house be damned...

My own life be damned, just to get him out safe in any means nescessary

Any means at all...

"...Understood" I watch him nod his head curtly through the slight mirroring of the tinted windows of the SUV

Before the vehicle even stop fully I already had slid the door open before jumping out swiftly with my hand guns in hand

I raise and wave a hand in the air a signal to the snipers stationed on those large trees, rooftops of those unfinished construction sights a few meters sorrounding the mansion

Yes we we're here to search the entire property but there are some rumors that he is in a mafia for being caught in some different senarios and some in the middle of a crime scene but frustratingly we couldn't put him behind bars, for we could not find any damn evidence that he is a part of it

He's an idiot for being caught almost every illegal senarios but he was one good son of a bitch to get away every single fucking time

I met gazes with Darwin who jumps out of their own SUV where some of his men on the CIA was now getting out giving me wary and distrustfull glances every once in a while while my men return the same favor

We still don't get along very well... you could say that Rafa is the main reason of bringing us both to work togetger for the first time ever
