Joe slipped in behind Vari. Just in case Sparrow was angry, he wanted to make sure she got the brunt of it. "Well, look at that. We didn't even have to have an excuse," he whispered to Vari as he passed by her. Joe slid into a seat in an inconspicuous location and assumed a bored expression. No doubt Sparrow was acting over serious as usual over something that was an utter waste of his precious time. He glanced down at his Rolex and watched the second hand tick away.
-------------------------
Beckett’s eyebrows jerked up at Gabriel’s haste. “Much thought has been put into this,” he said slowly, sifting through the papers. “Much… planning.” he looked up at the agents surrounding him. “Each of you had already been appointed a agent before you even entered this room. As it so happens,” he addressed Gabriel, “Agent Domino and Agent Gallows are indeed assigned to you.” he handed Agent Knight their profiles. “Agent Nexus, you are assigned to your... sister, was it? Agent Degaldo.” and he handed her Vari’s papers. He skimmed through the enemy agents as if looking for the right one. When he finally found what he was looking for he pulled the papers out and handed them to Hunter. “Agent Chaos yours could perhaps be the easiest to take down however don’t underestimate him. You're assigned to Agent Diablo. Ah, and you,” he said to Andrea. “You are assigned to,” he pulled out one of the last profiles, “Agent Lazarus.” he handed it to her. As the men and women looked over their assignments he turned to Keyara and said, “we’re missing one. Call up Agent Ginger. It doesn't matter if she has the day off. Tell her this is extremely urgent.”

Vari made a face at Joe before taking a seat next to Edward and lighting up another cigarette. Finally she could relax and listen to their orders without Joe trying to control her.
Across the room, Soren laced his fingers with Dante’s… it was no secret to any of the others that they were companions, but any and all affection was done behind closed doors and their private lives remained a well-kept secret, except to Aurora-Rose who was single-handedly <i>the</i> most curious being to ever walk the face of the earth.
Once everyone had taken their seats, Sparrow swiveled around in his chair turning his back to the agents. Previously concealed in his jacket was a remote, of which he now flourished, clicking the red button with a down arrow on it. Immediately, a thin slip in the ceiling tiles peeled back and a large, flat screen descended down, suspended by a single steel cable. The screen immediately flickered to life and the KAWEOTH logo appeared.
“I’m well aware of what many of you are thinking,” Jack began, turning around to face his team of agents once more. “And I’m afraid this isn’t some simple mission. This is much more serious. As you all very well understood upon signing your contracts on your first day, you knew that there would be life or death missions involved. This is one of them.” He clicked another button on the remote and brought up a picture of Beckett on the screen. “Cutler Beckett - head of Organization EITC. For some time we’ve been spying on their organization and collecting information about the group’s top agents. Unfortunately, they’ve been doing the same and we’ve caught word that Beckett is shipping out his agents to annihilate the lot of us.” Jack sucked in a deep breath and took in every face and expression in the room. “Our lives are in danger; every single one of us sitting in this room,” here he paused and glanced at Joe, “and so… we must kill them before they kill us.”
-------------------------
Keyara quickly took Vari’s profile and clutched it against her chest, nodding as she was given new orders to contact Emma. “I’ll do everything I can to get a hold of her.” And with that, she left Beckett’s office and headed back to her own desk, sitting down and digging through the drawers to find Emma’s contact information. Pulling out the folder she picked up the black, corded phone and dialed her cell number. “Ginger? It’s Nexus… we’ve got some urgent business to discuss…”

Joe had managed to tune out much of what Sparrow was saying. Actually his mind had been dwelling on how awesome the zombie movie would look on that large projection screen. The word “annihilate” brought him back down to planet Earth, however. He sat up a little straighter and focused a little harder on Sparrow’s last sentences. Why would… what was his name again? He had missed that part. Regardless, why would that evil dude want to kill them all? He felt even more uncomfortable as Sparrow seemed to make a point to look directly at him. How was he suppose to interpret that? Joe avoided eye contact and instead looked around the room at the others. Kill or be killed. Sounded like a fairly simple game...
----------------------------
Clicking along in cherry red stilettos, Emma carefully picked her way down the sidewalk. She looked like any other woman heading out for a girls’ night on the town. At the moment she was walking to a great little restaurant to meet her non-spy friends for a little dinner and fun. It seemed like the perfect way to end the first day off she had had in... probably at least a year. Above the din of the city and people around her she heard “Wanna find some boy, rip his heart right out, First man I see, gonna take him down…” Her cell phone was blaring out the song and vibrating like mad. She pulled it out of her bag and read the caller ID. She quickly flipped it open. “Yes?” she asked, slowing her pace and plugging her free ear with her free hand in order to hear better. “Ginger? It’s Nexus… we’ve got some urgent business to discuss…”. Emma completely stopped in her tracks and looked around uneasily. “Okay, I’m coming,” she said and flipped the cell shut, hanging up. Retracing her steps she ran back as fast as she could in her heels without causing a scene. She would have some explaining to do for the girls.... but what else could she do? She would just have to think of a lot of good excuses and lies.

Andrea grabbed Barbossa's file off the desk and nodded to Beckett, before turning on her heel and marching back down the corridors and down several flights of stairs. She wanted to go home and freashen up before she started killing anyone. She entered the underground car park and headed for where she'd left her black Suzuki Hayabusa the day before. Moments later she was weaving through the other cars and heading towards the exit. She sped up the ramp and skidded out onto the main road, nagotiating the traffic at break-neck speeds. Within ten minutes of leaving HQ she was back at her lavish apartment with the kettle on. She gazed out of the floor to ceiling windows at the rising sun that caused the sky to glow orange. "Red sky in the morning, shepard's warning." She mumbled. Suddenly the room pitched around her and she was over-come by severe nausea. She just managed to get to the bathroom in time. When she was finished, she flushed and leant back against the wash basin panting, sweat running down her brow. Something was wrong. It was then that her eye caught sight of a little basket on the side filled with feminine items. She realised that they had been untouched for longer than usual. She'd been so busy she hadn't even noticed. She did the calculations in her head. One, two... three months? But it's imossible! They told me eight years ago that it was impossible! She looked down at her abdomen and realised with horror that she was certainly looking rounder. Why hadn't she noticed sooner? As her stomache jerked again tears sprang in her eyes.
"What am I going to do?"

For a moment Gabriel's breath stopped. He had been a bit hasty in his judgment and want to take Aurora on this mission to kill. Thankfully Beckett didn't seem to think much of it and it was just luck or fate that had him assigned to both Agent Domino and Agent Gallows. The man would be easy to kill, he had no past emotional attachment to the man.
Taking the two files into his hands he looked through them briefly, nodding his head at some of the more poignant pieces of information. "It shall be done." He said simply before leaving the room.
===========
Dante grinned as Soren's hand slipped into his own. Fingers wrapped around the other man's and he squeezed tightly before turning his attention Agent Sparrow who was now turning towards a big screen that was falling slowly from the ceiling.
Aurora noted the two men and laughed softly, covering it up with a hand over her mouth. Giving a wink to her friend, Vari, she too turned her attention to their boss.
The words kill and annihilate filled her mind and her grin stretched across her lips. Now this was what she had been waiting for, a mission of life or death. Her mind briefly fleeted to a man in EITC but it went as soon as it came, all is fair in love and war, right.

Jack retrieved a manila folder from his desk and turned to the agents. “You’ve already been assigned members of Organization EITC to obliterate. Within this folder are extensive profiles and pictures so that you may better know your target,” he explained, handing out the pre-appointed biographies to each member. “Agent Domino you’ve been assigned to Agent Nexus…,” he began, giving Keyara’s bio and photos to Aurora. “Gallows to Agent Knight… Anaconda - you’ve been given two assignments because I’m sure you’re quite capable - Agent Ginger and Agent Chaos,” Jack said with a smile, before turning to Vari and Joe with an utterly terrible smirk. “Degaldo, Diablo… you’ve been paired together to take out Agent Daedalus.”
Vari dropped her cigarette on her lap and choked in surprise, a deep blush beginning to color her cheeks. Her, and… <i>Joe</i>? The guy she’d secretly been crushing on for the past five months… the bumbling idiot that couldn’t get anything right, brawns-over-brains moron who was only interested in Zombie movies and video games?! “What?! Why do I have to work with him?! You planned this, Jack!” She demanded, standing up and pointing at Joe as Jack handed him the profile.
“Indeed I did, Miss Pierce. I simply felt that you two needed to learn the true meaning of the word ‘teamwork’ and put it to good use.”
[[I’m officially brain dead and I’m gonna exclude Keyara from this one simply because I can’t think of what else to write…  ]]

Beckett watched until all the agents had filed out of the room. Once he was again alone he scanned over the one last profile left, Agent Anaconda’s. Checking his watch he noticed the night was quickly progressing. Agent Ginger better show up soon.
--
“I’m here,” Emma announced to Keyara as she flew in with a whirl. “What is it? What’s going on?” She hurriedly cast a glance towards Agent Beckett’s ajar door. The place seemed quite empty at this time of night. It had a spooky ambiance about it. Furthermore, Emma’s ankles and feet ached from the run in shoes that were not created for long sprints. Why of all nights had she chosen tonight to wear those awful things?
Cutler heard Emma come in and talk to Keyara so he got up from his chair, grabbing his coat and hat as he went. He switched the lights off in his office and walked up to Em. “Agent Ginger, I was beginning to wonder what was keeping you,” he coolly greeted her as he put Soren’s profile into her hands. “Your mission is to kill this agent of KAWEOTH.” He turned and left the two women, saying over his shoulder, “Go home both of you and get some shut eye. In the morning we have business to do.”
As he left the room a security guard (one of the HQ's many) passed by him, acknowledging him with a tilt of the head and a respectful “good evening, sir.”
-----------------------------------
A sneaky little smirk spread over Joe's face at Vari's reaction. This was going to be fun. He reached over and picked up the biography of Agent Daedalus. "A girl, eh? This aughta be easy," he laughed to himself. The woman pictured looked fairly sweet and tame. "Come on, partner," Joe said to Vari with a grin that told how much he was enjoying this, "let's learn the true meaning of this strange new word and make Father Sparrow proud of us."

Barbossa glanced over Joseph's shoulder at the file with mild curiosity but was completely unprepared for what he saw.
ANDREA COSTELLO
Codename Daedalus
Mercenary
5"11
Sister of Hunter Costello (Codename Chaos).
Rides a black Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle.
Heavily armed and highly dangerous.
He felt his stomach flip. Andrea's one of them? No! She can't be! This has to be some cruel joke of Sparrow's. He looked at the photos. There was one of her in a nightclub with another woman, one of her and a man with black hair, her head thrown back laughing as he grinned along, another of her leaning forward riding a black motorbike dressed head-to-toe in black with two guns strapped to her hips and two blades on her back. The last one was tucked underneath the other three. A girl, eh? This aughta be easy. He moved to pick the last one up. It made him shiver. She crouched low to the pavement one leg stretched out the other tucked beneath her. Her arms were out to her sides, and both hands each clutched the blades he'd seen strapped to her back in the previous photo. They were dripping blood. Her head was tilted up, straight at the camera and upon her face was a cruel and malicious smile. It wasn't a joke, she really was one of them. He turned the picture round to show to Joseph.
"You really think so lad?"

Aurora-Rose took the file that Agent Sparrow had given her and she quickly looked through it. Finding some pictures that quite shocked her. It seemed that Agent Nexus was quite close to Beckett. It was going to be dangerous to kill someone so close to the boss, but she was going to have fun.
In the pictures she saw something familiar in the features of the agent named Keyara. Looking more through the woman's file her brow furrowed.
"Keyara Pierce?" Pierce, as in Varianna Pierce? Could they somehow be related. She would have to ask the woman later after she was done having her fit on being assigned to be partners with Joe.
She would have laughed if she wasn't so focused at the task at hand.
========
Dante took his own folder, flipping through it as well. The name sounded familiar to him as well and it wasn't until he looked up at Aurora did he realize that this was the man, Gabriel Phillips, the same Gabriel that she had talked about before.
He wasn't sure if she knew that he was part of the EITC or not, but he wasn't going to be the one to say anything. Not right now when she looked so happy to be able to kill someone.
Instead he looked over Soren's shoulders. "Two Agents? You must be very skilled. They look interesting, I may just have to join you when I am through with Agent Knight."

Keyara watched Beckett leave with a dreamy gaze before taking in the appearance of the redhead standing beside her. “Nice outfit. My apologies for having to spoil your fun… though, the night is still young,” she murmured, double checking to make sure all of the desk drawers were locked, all valuable information hidden deep inside. “If you’re up for it, I’m heading to the bar for a drink or two…” she left the offer open there.
-------------------------
Soren smiled at Dante’s closeness and nodded. “Very skilled indeed. I would certainly enjoy your company as I blow their brains out,” he laughed, shutting the two profiles he’d been handed with confidence. These two stood no chance, especially when he had them cornered and staring down the barrel of his semi-automatic shotgun.
-------------------------
Vari shuddered slightly at the tone in which Joe spoke, her own emotions welling into a mix of embarrassment and anger. She was about to make a rude comment directed towards him but suddenly Barbossa had come up behind the pair, and so she kept her mouth shut until he was finished. The girl did look stronger than they had originally thought, but for a trained sniper like her it wouldn’t be a problem. All she had to worry about was Joe’s idiocy that would no doubt blow their cover.
Jack clapped his hands together loudly to redirect all attention back to him. “One thing I neglected to mention - Hector,” he began, addressing the older man by his first name, “you and I will be undertaking the arduous task of eliminating Agent Beckett. Now that you’ve all gotten your assignments, you may return home. Just remember to keep an eye out and never stop watching your backs. If any of you are to run into trouble, you know how to contact me.”
Vari looked back at Joe and cleared her throat. “Well then, perhaps we should head back to your place and figure out what our plan of action will be,” she said, before waving a silent ‘goodbye’ to Aurora and Dante.

Joe gave the picture Barbossa held up a little thought… though, granted, his thoughts mostly ran along the lines of - hm, a chick with two-over sized kitchen knives and a creepy smile…okaayyy? and he was about to say something along those lines when Jack called all eyes back to him.
“Yeah… right,” he replied to Vari and led their way out of the meeting room. Vari had never intentionally gone with him to his place. This was a first. A record of a first.
The drive back to Joe’s flat was quiet. No doubt both were mentally rehashing the solemn news Agent Sparrow had given them.
--------------------------
Emma sifted through the papers Agent Beckett had practically shoved into her hands. There were several photographs of a blonde haired man, a detailed description, ect. “Hm,” she murmured to herself, flipping an upside down Polaroid right side up in order to get a better look at him. “Oh, yes,” she looked up, pulled out of her musings by Keyara’s voice. “well, you know going to the bar isn’t much fun alone. So as long as I don’t have to walk anywhere far...” she accepted with a thankful smile, tucking the profile into her large bag for later inspection.

Vari and Joe stood in the elevator heading up to Joe’s third floor apartment, the solemn silence never breaking between them. Through the ceiling speaker flooded a soft melody, one that Vari quickly recognized as an old love song. Sneaking a quick glance at Joe, she felt that all-too-familiar hot pink beginning to color her cheeks. <i>What kind of elevator music is this?! Oh god, I hope he doesn’t notice…</i> She tried to will away the blush and pretended to look down at her watch as she did so. It seemed to take forever for the ascending metal box to finally arrive on the floor with an abrupt <i>ding!</i> Vari mentally breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Joe to find the key to his apartment.
--------------------------
Keyara grabbed her designer purse from the desk and shut off the lights as she walked out of the building with Emma. “Actually there’s a place I go to not far from here… I know the guy that tends bar there. He can hook us up with some free martinis,” she smiled, beginning to head in the direction of a brick building down the street. It was a rather plain looking place from the outside, with a half-lit sign reading “Saul’s” and bright neon lights advertising cheap beer and good times. However, the inside was quite the opposite; a smoky atmosphere with blaring music and blinding lights from the live band playing, people drinking and dancing and playing pool… it was certainly the place to be on a Friday night, especially to unwind after a long day of work.
Keyara quickly weaved through groups of the bar’s patrons and found two stools that were available at the bar, motioning Emma to come over and join her.

Aurora-Rose waved good-bye to Vari, sending her a silent good luck. She was sure that Vari was going to be quite stressed being alone with her crush and she could only wish her friend the best in such a situation.
Gathering up her folder she stood, stretching her arms and looking over to Soren and Dante. "I'll see you too gentleman later. I have some plotting to do. Oh, 'Bennie's' tonight? It's on the house for Agents" Bennie's was a local bar that got most of its business from KAWEOTH members.
It was sort of a silent rule and they were never bothered when they went there.
"Sure thing Rory, see you there." Dante nodded his head as the girl departed before turning to Soren. "So I have something to tell you about the Agent I am going to be killing."
-------------
Gabriel hopped onto his motorcyle [ click] driving as there were no limits down the winding streets of the city. He had to get away and think otherwise he would truly go insane before he figured out what eh was going to do about the assignment that Beckett had given him. _________________

Just outside of the door to his room, Joe stopped to dig through his coat pockets in search of his keys. A stick of gum, several bullets, a Snickers wrapper, some lint, but no keys. Okay. Next he felt around in his pants pockets… ah, here it was! He pulled out a bundle of keys most of whose use he himself had probably forgotten. He looked over at Vari, holding up the keys with a grin of triumph. "Found 'em," he declared. His eye caught hers and as he looked at her he noticed her cheeks were slightly flushed. The light pinkness of the cheeks gave her a... soft feel. A beautiful glow. After a uncomfortable moment or two, he realized he had been staring and hurriedly looked away while clearing his throat. Fumbling with the keys, Joe sorted through them until he found the right one. “Here we go,” he said in a somewhat shaky voice. The lock clicked and he turned the knob. “Home sweet home,” he walked in, flicking the light switch by the door. The overhead light in the living room flooded the place with a warm glow.
-----------------------
Emma slid onto the stool beside Keyara. It felt good to rest her feet. “This place is fantastic,” she declared, practically having to yell over music, talk and overall ruckus of the hopping bar. “How come I’ve never heard of it before now?” Emma gave the bar a good look around. The atmosphere was perfect. Lively - from the band rocking out to the people partying it up on the dance floor. Even the alcohol advertisements seemed more interesting in this joint.

[[Added a bit of Joe’s history into this… kinda fit with the mood I think.  ]]
Vari followed Joe into his apartment, glancing about the place, a bit in awe. For someone who could never hold a steady job, he sure owned a lot of nice things. Almost instantaneously, her eyes were drawn to the entertainment stand, upon which sat a dark frame holding a picture of a woman who looked very much like Joe. Around the photo were tealight candles and a withered flower - there was only one person it could be… “Your mother?” She asked softly, holding the manila folder containing Andrea’s information close to her chest. Hazel eyes searched the woman’s features; her slightly rounded jaw, laugh lines accompanying a bright smile and deep blue eyes. Joe had never truly gone into detail about her - in fact he’d hardly ever spoken about his past, but from what Vari had been able to gather, she’d been gunned down only a few years back.
Suddenly a feeling of deep remorse settled down on her shoulders, and Vari felt guilty that soon they’d be doing the same thing to Andrea and the ones that cared for her. The feeling left her as soon as it had come, but nevertheless she set the folder down on the glass coffee table and felt her stomach growl. It had been a good three hours or so since she’d last eaten, and turned to Joe with a gentle smile. “So… I’m really hungry. Got anything that’s edible?”
--------------------------
“Yo, Frankie! How ‘bout sending some apple margaritas this way?” Keyara winked, waving at the dark-haired man currently tending bar. He nodded in her direction and Keyara slowly spun around on the barstool to meet Emma’s eyes. “See, when they built this place, it was done backwards… the back of the building faces the main road while the front faces the alleyway we walked down. So from the main road it looks like a plain brick building… nothing special.” Propping her elbow on the bar, Keyara stared into the bright neon advertisements hanging from the walls. “Its… rather clandestine… only the locals know about it. Not much tourism, but it must make good money,” she shrugged, “though more people are getting curious from the media coverage of the owner’s death. He committed suicide in the attic a few months back. It’s said to be haunted, if you believe that sort of thing,” Keyara laughed as the man known as Frankie served their first round of drinks.

[I find it funny that we both envisioned him having a glass coffee table... neither of us ever mentioned thinking it, did we?]
The instant they were in the apartment, Joe threw his coat haphazardly on the couch and made a beeline for the kitchen. He was shuffling through the cupboards when he heard… "Your mother?" he spun around, surprised to see Vari looking over the portrait of his deceased mom. From the kitchen, his own blue eyes - quiet similar to his mother’s - gazed at the photo. He quietly nodded and turned away from Vari and the arbitrary memories awakened by the photograph. He looked back into the kitchen cupboard but he could only stare blankly inside it. The memories would not die away just because he had looked away. His mother's always smiling lips and sparkling eyes were still painfully imprinted on his brain. How long had she been gone anyway? "Got anything that’s edible?" Just as he had been brought into is reverie by Vari, so he was also brought back out of it by her. And he was thankful for having something else to dwell on. "Ummm, let’s see," he dug through the cabinet, mechanically. "Doritos?" he held out a half eaten bag of them. Leaving them on the counter, he went over and dug through the fridge. "Cold pizza?" with his head still in the refrigerator he held up a half gone box of a Pizza Hut supreme pizza. "Not quite sure how long it's been in there," he mumbled, pulling out a 2-liter of Pepsi and setting both on the island in the middle of the kitchen.
