“Are you fucking serious? They just blew up our office and you think it’s safe for Maddie to go off on some ops?”

“Cole…”

“I can’t believe you would risk her life like that.” Cole shouted even louder.

“Cole, we’ll get her back. I’ll put every god damn Agent in this company on it if I have too.”

“You know what they did to her last time. What she went through. What they put her through.” Cole snarled.

“But this is different.” Brandon said. “They know she doesn’t know anything.”

“Sure, so now they’ll just torture her for the fun of it.” Cole snapped.

“Cole we’ll get her back I promise you.” Brandon said.

“Save your words, you’ll need them when we do get her back because you’ll have to beg her to forgive you for this.” He said storming out of his office.

Brandon shut his eyes, putting his thoughts together, trying to come up with a plan. He got up walked out into the main office and looked at his team.

“Everyone in the briefing room now.” He said pulling his phone. He’d meant what he said, he’d get every Agent on it if that’s what it took but he’d start by getting every one of his team in. All holiday was cancelled. All time off. Until Maddie was back and they figured out what the fuck had just happened they’d be living in this office.
