Mateo Secada and Skye Rosalind Lyons
Singapore
Looking around, Skye could hear the near soundless beat of Mateo joining her in the office, the Scot’s red-haired, bloodied black-gloved hands being wiped up by some disinfectant she’d brought along in her handbag. After all, Alexei on the floor was very dead, and Pavel next to her limp was telling this hadn’t been a clean affair. The cracked glass added to that image, the sight of it reinforcing the fact she’d very much been thrown at that window rather than knocked into it.
Mateo almost silently entering the office and while the sight of the downed men and bloodied hands concerned him. They were on the clock and they will have time to ask about it will be later. “I came when I heard and you looks like you handle yourself well.” Though Skye could hear the concern in his voice.
Skye wryly chuckled, shrugging her shoulders as she looked around, then back at the infiltrator, geared and a little more equipped to the task at hand over the party-going team lead, given he had his silenced pistol and other tools on him now. She appreciated his concern, the man of few words saying plenty beyond what his vocal cords did.
“Aye, appreciate you keeping an eye out, but keeping your distance. I can handle myself, but he gave me a good go. Didn’t think it would go this badly, but here we are. Got what we needed.” Skye looked around, checking the mag on the P226 and checking around the corner behind Mateo with the pistol at point, then heading back to the PC and checking the cabling and monitor.
“What’s our play, Jaguar? Network access should be here, Sam can clone the PC but you might be able to open up your server run from here.” Skye retorted, knowing chances were, due to the security of this place, Mateo may have a run at it- or would have a better idea than she did.
“Hmmm, l will see if I can.” Mateo walked over to the PC and started accessing it. After some time with it he spoke. “Yeah I can access the server from here but I have to go to some security to get to it.” Mateo started to focus and let the hacker in him run loose. “It should take me a minute or two for me to get through.” Mateo started quickly typing on the keyboard as he focused.
Skye kept an eye out, her ear to the outside, and the other infiltrators likely to be running loose on the office block. They’d need to be quick, given the fact that she needed to get Pavel upstairs soon, and just in case any further biometrics were needed, it was nice to have him here rather than a scan of what they needed.
“Good stuff. Keep going and get us what we need..” She replied back, knowing that time was of the essence- and they were running out of it, quick. Not much she could do searching for intel- there was barely anything in the draws or desks, it was all digital, making sense after all given all of Pavel’s travel.
“You have to be kidding me,” Mateo sounding surprised and annoyed. The sound of typing would stop. “There is another security program in the way but this one is good.. too good.” Mateo stepped away from the PC and looked at Skye. “It will take too much time to crack through this security program from here and it will be faster to hack into the server directly.” He sighed in annoyance. “So I need to head downstairs. I trust you can handle yourself or do you need help with anything?”
Skye nodded, trusting the Colombian’s judgment, knowing that while they didn’t want to outstay their welcome, half the prize was getting that information and Mateo would know how.
“I’ll be alright. Besides, I don’t think it’s the only time he’s had too much to drink. Do what you’ve got to do.” Skye replied as Pavel moaned, still delirious and barely even finding consciousness, as she looked back at him.
“Shit, he might be up. Keep your exit in mind, we may get locked down when I get him upstairs and we’ll all need to get creative from that point. Small price to pay for what we got.”Skye added, heading across to him and scooping him off the floor, taking him in a fireman’s lift and managing to carefully but surely get him over her shoulder, pistol in hand, ready to get going.
“We’ll talk Tejedor later. Believe me, there’s too many people up there on our to-do list.”Skye knew he would have the doubt in his mind, but firmly and calmly, she had the need to do this now, knowing that Mateo was lethal and precise, like an unstoppable machine when he was at his best sneaking- yet the last thing she needed was for him to break from that. Trust she hoped she'd be able to hold with him, because right now, she needed it.
“I will hold you to that and just be careful. Just in case something else changes plan wise.” Though Mateo knew he can trust her to handle herself, more so after dealing with these two. It always helps to be careful and so with a final wave. Mateo left the office and headed downstairs to the server room. Time is of the essence and they need that data or this mission is a failure. Time to get that data and get out of here before another change happens.
