Shots ringing out and Maddie narrowed her eyes trying to see who was shooting at who. The Agents moved quickly, pressing themselves against the walls, but they were fully kitted out in bulletproof armour and helmets so the threat was minimal.

An Agent fired back and one of the men fell, grabbing his thigh. They all moved then, rushing the two of them, forcing the second to the ground even as he grabbed for the weapon out of the other man’s hands.

“Get on the ground.” One of the Agents yelled. Blood was now pouring out of the injured man’s leg but their focus was on subduing them.

“Get medics in there.” Brandon said down to the team below as they saw the two men now face down, pinned to the floor.

Maddie narrowed her eyes seeing the flash back in her head to when McCullough was there bleeding out, from when it had all begun. When all this madness had kicked off.

The Agents continued on, clearing the final rooms, securing the site.

“Two targets apprehended. One injured and with Medic now, second ready to be transported to secondary site.” The Lead Field Agent said into the radio.

“Show us their faces. I want to know which ones we have and which are still outstanding.” Brandon ordered and the Agent moved to flash the first man’s face in front of the camera.

A balding man with a round face grimaced through pain.

“That’s suspect number 2 on our photos. Piotr Nowak.” Douglas said matching the face to the paper in front of him.

The Agent then moved to where the other man was putting up a fight still and Maddie didn’t need anyone to tell her who he was.

“That’s Grant Phillips.” Becky said before anyone else could and Maddie narrowed her eyes. They had him. That fucker, they actually had him.

“Take him to the secondary site. We’ll meet you there.” Brandon ordered and the Agent confirmed over the radio back.
