Escaping with the team
Aug. 15th, 2017 07:41 pmCassian paced outside his plane while Kay bumped against the door with a set of strident beeps, "I know they should be back by now and they will be."
The plan had made sense at the time, he would be the in and out while Eliot, Parker and Hardison finished the job to get the records that would take down a major player in Ecorp that was financing domestic terrorism. Parker's plan made more sense than others he'd heard but he wished he was there but the three of them were a team. He'd just get in the way, that was how good teams worked, they had some give but they fit each other. A car roared up as he got a text from Eliot saying go, Cassian turned and told Kay, "Start it up."
Before he got in, men pulled out of the car and he cursed, this wasn't part of the plan. Four men, he couldn't see guns but they might be waiting on them. As they came up, he held up his hands and said in his heaviest accent, "Hello, okay if I land here? I got lost."
"Search the plane," As the first man came towards him, Cassian grabbed his arm and with a quick move almost knocked him out but he wasn't fast enough. Soon he was fighting off two men as Kay beeped and he heard another car which he hoped was Eliot.
There was the zap of a taser as Parker took down someone and then Eliot at his side while he rolled with a punch that probably cracked a rib.
"Andor, get us out of here!" Eliot yelled as the fight seemed to grow, but he wasn't leaving Eliot to fight on his own.
A gun went flying and he had an opening to duck get himself back and into the plane, Kay had already started pre-flight which he continued while licking blood off his lips, "Get in and go!"
He heard them enter and the slam of the door as they started to take off and now there were gunshots.
"I know they're shooting, Andor, but we're clear," Eliot said as they finally lifted off and he heard Parker laugh. "I like having a plane around. I want to jump out of it later. Can we do that?"
Cassian smiled and nodded at her as Eliot put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Another time. We got it."
"Just putting the last pieces in place and tomorrow they'll fall down," Hardison said with a smile.
The rest of the flight went smoothly and as he landed at the airport near their headquarters, Eliot nodded at him, it was good to see Eliot content, "We should be clear. Give things some space and I'll send you a cut."
As he watched Hardison marvel at Kay then leave with Parker, he watched the warmth in Eliot's face and shrugged, "Take them down and enough to cover fuel and bullet holes and we'll be even."
Eliot gave him one of his far to perceptive looks and said, "Get yourself a team, Andor."
"Keep yours safe," Cassian said then watched Eliot leave before taking off towards home, teams came apart, people left or died. They were never built on anything strong enough to last, not in this business.
