Fun and Games
"Emily, oh Emily I know your in here. I already got your partner, just surrender and I'll go easy on you" a male voice called out into the dark room.
Special agent Emily Lehman was hidden from view in the hallway closet. She could hear footsteps coming closer, it was now or never. She jumped out and fired her gun, hitting the tango twice in the chest.
"I can't believe you won" Commander Frank Rogers said. The whole CNU had been participating in a training exercise, HRT versus agents. In Emily's option it was more of an excursed to play paint ball and get out of paperwork but staying "alive" the longest and taking the commander out all on her own differently had its perks, mostly bragging rights.
"And that's how it’s done" Emily said smiling. Frank rolled his eyes as they walked out of the stimulation to where the rest of the unit was waiting. Frank knew he was going to be tense relentlessly by the guys. Not because he was taken out by a girl, the entire unit never saw the people that worked here by sex; it didn't matter if you were male or female in the CNU as long as you could do your job. And Emily certainly could do that. No Frank was never going to live this down because he was supposed to be the top dog so to speak. In all the years he had been commander no other agent or member of HRT ever had been able to take Frank out.
"You know you only got me because you’re tiny and fast" Frank told Emily as they joined the rest of the group and begin to put the equipment away.
"No I got you because I stayed low, out of sight and ok I was fast, I'll give you that one. Emily laughed "Oh don't feel bad Frank after all I learned from the best."
"Right, your partner" Special agent Matt Flannery said coming up behind them.
"Yeah I was talking about Frank but good try there Matt" Emily laughed. Matt and Emily are more than just partners; they have been dating for more than a year now.
"I can't believe she won, Frank, man you’re losing your touch" Duff, a member of HRT told him.
"Really" another agent, agent Alexander Temple told Frank
"Well I could say the same for you guys" Frank told them. "Temple, I have no idea what you were doing but you certainly didn't have Binder's back. And Duff you didn't have your corner.
"I knew he didn't have my back" Agent Jack Binder said to his partner.
The guys continue to analyze the stimulation and who did what or didn't do what.
"You know what this means through" Agent Samantha Ledrew said, interrupting the guys’ conversation. "Frank finally has to pay the toll."
"That's right. I totally forgot about that. Frank, you have to buy me drinks at Sloans." Emily said with a smile.
"You’re really going to hold me to that?" Frank asked. It was his own fault; about a year ago Frank decided to make training more interesting and maybe often some motivation to his co-workers. He had told the whole unit anyone that was able to take him out during a stimulation, he would buy them as many drinks that it took to get them drunk at the FBI bar they all hung out at known as Sloans. It became known as paying the toll, Frank just figured he would never actually have to pay it.
"Yes I'm holding you to it. Sam and you wrote it down on paper, it’s a legal contact." Emily said laughing. She was enjoying torturing him a little too much. "Don't worry Frank I'm a cheap drunk."
"Fine" Frank said.
"I guess we're all going to Sloans than" Matt said
"Yep, you guys can go ahead, I'll go get Lia" Emily told them. Lia Mathers was the computer analysis for the CNU. And Lia and Emily are close friends.
They finished putting the equipment back and everyone walked upstairs. The guys were still tensing Frank. He knew it was going to be a long night but he was secretly glad it had been Emily that finally was able to taken him out.
Once upstairs, the office quickly emptied as everyone left for Sloans. The only people that stayed behind was Matt, Frank, Duff and Samantha to wait for Emily and Lia. Emily was about to go get Lia when she noticed a very familiar looking tall blonde man standing in her bosses' office. "Oh my gosh what's he doing here." Emily said.
