Cash ignored me and continued. โRight now, heโs injured and needs rest and a doctorโs supervision. Heโs still considered in critical condition. I need a team that can go to him since he canโt be moved.โ
โIโm all over that, boss,โ I said enthusiastically. โWhoโs with me?โ
No one responded and Cash looked pleadingly at all of them. โReally, anyone thatโs willing will get overtime.โ
โBoss, we all know what we signed up for when we took this job,โ IRIS said, โbut this is just insanity.โ
โYou blow shit up for a living,โ Lock snorted.
โYeah, but on my terms. This guy is an assassin. I donโt need to wake up with a knife in my back, or worse, have him bring heat down on us from past jobs.โ
I stood this time, thinking someone would join me. โAgain, Iโm all over this.โ
โHeโs psychotic,โ Cash sighed.
โIโm psychotic.โ
โHe doesnโt play well with others.โ
I slapped my hands against my chest and grinned. โNeither do I!โ
โItโs a long job. Keeping him alive is only phase one of the job.โ
โPhase me in,โ I smirked.
Cash looked around. โI really need a three man team on this. Three people that can work well together,โ he emphasized.
โBoss,โ I chuckled, glancing around the room at the others. โIโm sort of getting the feeling you donโt want me on this job.โ
โWhat about you, Jack? This is the sort of job your team takes.โ
I stood there a little pissed that he was talking around me as if I wasnโt here, like I wasnโt volunteering to take a job that everyone else clearly wasnโt on board with.
โYa know, we do black ops,โ Jack answered. โThis is babysitting.โ
I rushed around the table, getting right in Cashโs face. Iโd make him send me if it was the last thing I did. โBoss, you know Iโm the man for the job. Iโm great under pressure and with annoying assholes.โ
โYes, but weโre trying to keep this one alive. If you kill him, that sort of defeats the purpose of the job.โ
โHey, Iโm a very likable guy,โ I said defensively.
โYes,โ he nodded slowly. โTo people that know you.โ
โSo, send me withโฆโ I glanced around the room, trying to figure out who would best work with me. โRae and IRIS.โ
โNo,โ Rae stood up. โIโm not going on a long mission with Fox. Not gonna happen.โ
โIRIS, you can set explosives all around the house,โ I said excitedly. โItโll be just like old times.โ
โYeah, as fun as it sounds to blow someone up, Iโd rather shoot myself than go on a long assignment with an assassin.โ
โSeriously?โ I asked the whole room incredulously. โAm I the only one that sees the benefit of this? To get inside the mind of a killer and pick his brain apart?โ
โWe sort of already have that with you,โ Slider answered. โI think thatโs enough to last a lifetime.โ
