Chapter 40 Reunion (Mission Impossible)
I didn't know Brandt is blaming himself for Julia's death. It pains me seeing he beat himself up and not giving Ethan a warning about it. Sometimes... it is hard to disobey the order because they give us no choice but to follow it.
What makes it more worse, they have the codes and we need to stop them before things get worst. ~Lia Snow
She's The One
Part of Lia wanted to know how did Ethan and Novilene, managed to get an airplane without getting caught. There's another part of her didn't want to know since both of them are Spy Agents.
"I can't believe that my two friends are spies..." Lia muttered and still struggling to accept the reality.
"I was struggling as well after finding out Lenny is one of them." Reid spoke up. "You know, Lenny is already retired because she couldn't handle two jobs."
"How did you cope it?" She asks him curiously.
"It's a bit hard and whenever they need her." He smiled at her sadly. "Everyone is worried about her because she bottles up all her feelings."
"I'm glad she's with you, especially, you're the father of her child or children... in this case." She chuckled and Reid stared at him with a curious look on her face. "Jason's children are twins isn't? There's a chance you might have twins."
"We might need a nanny to look after our child or children once we get back to work..." He thinks very carefully about his future kids.
"Ang swerte ni Novy (Novy is lucky)." Lia blurted out in Filipino and Reid smiled in response. "Did she taught you our language?"
"Self-taught and Lenny corrected me when I pronounce it wrong." Reid explained and Lia nodded her head in understanding.
Benji approached them with a cheerful look on his face. "Well... Spencer... I know that it's not in the right time and I just wanna say congratulations for becoming a father. Novilene is everything to us and she's like a niece to me and if you ever-"
"Benji, breathe." Lia cuts Benji off. "You need to calm down." She chuckled seeing him nervous.
"What I am saying is... look after them for us." Benji gives Lia a look and she smiled in satisfaction. "We love Novilene so much."
"I will." Reid assured him.
"What's in the bags?" He asks Ethan and Novilene curiously.
"It's our gear." Novilene answered and smiled at them.
"Something tells me that we're in a huge crisis mission..." Zack commented sarcastically and Phoebe elbowed him lightly.
"How'd you get it?" Jane asks them curiously and was surprised how they managed to get it without being noticed by someone.
"We made a friend." Ethan answered.
Benji exhales softly. "I'm glad we could help." He admitted and Novilene smiled at him.
"You can help now." He informed them.
Brandt removes his shades. "Look Ethan and Novilene, before..." He was interrupted by Novilene.
"It already happened, Brandt. We can't go back to change it." She stared at everyone. "We still have a chance to clean this up. But we have to do it now. We have to do it together. Are you with us?" She asks each one of them.
Lia glanced at Brandt and wondering if he's going to tell them about Julia's incident. She knew now it wasn't the right time to apologize to one another because they are going to capture Wells, Turner, Dawn and Hendricks. To stop them from launching nuclear codes and clean Novilene's name.
"We're in." Noelle answered it for everyone.
"So, where we going?" Brandt asks them curiously.
Ethan grinned like a Cheshire cat. "India." He answered.
"India?" He blinks his eyes.
"Yeah, sure." The remaining IMF Agents agreed casually since Novilene and Ethan are their leaders.
"Okay, great..." He went ahead first.
"This kinda reminds me of our jet." Reid commented and dragging Novilene as she chuckled of his overprotective nature.
She's The One
|| India ||
Dawn is checking all the weapons and heard a clicking sound of the shoes. She smirked and turned around to see a woman in her early 20's approached her.
"I'm glad you could join us, Octavia." Dawn greeted her but Octavia didn't greet her back. "Pity." She slapped Octavia on her face.
"Why would I greeted you back?" Octavia asks her coldly and wincing in pain when Dawn grabs her cheeks tightly.
"Just remember that one word and say goodbye to your family." She smiled evilly. "It's a bit sad because she didn't know you're related to her."
"You took everything to me!" Octavia exclaimed angrily and slapping Dawn's hand away from her. "You killed my guardian and now you blackmailing me. For what? To destroy the entire world? How am I related to her!?"
"You better watch your mouth and do as we say, Octavia." She grips her collar tightly and pulls her close to her face. "Your family is free once you finished your work."
"You're a monster..." Octavia held her tears and never cried in front of Dawn.
"Oh, sweetheart..." She clicking her tongue. "This monster can do worse for you. Tat, tat, go to Wells."
Octavia hopes someone or anyone could get a message to save her and her family from them. She turned away from Dawn to find where Wells is. She clenching her hands into a fist to control her temper for her family's sake.
She's The One
"Brij Nath." Carter muttered the name of the person and Ethan nodded his head.
"Brij Nath." Ethan spoke up. "Playboy. Multimedia tycoon."
Lia stared at the picture with a disgusted look on her face. She hates men that are cocky and base from this picture, there's no doubt this guy is rich.
"On the surface, his entire network is state-of-the-art." Novilene explained to her team. "But it's built on illegally acquired Cold War cast-offs, including this." She showed them another picture. "The Novosti satellite. They need it to launch a nuclear strike, and we have to shut it down before they get a chance."
"And to do that... we need to get the access code from him." Ethan spoke up and pointing at Nath's picture.
"One way or another." She crosses her arms.
"And if I don't?" Carter asks them curiously. "None of this works." She stands up and leaves the cabin.
Ethan followed Carter while the remaining people are staring each other worriedly. "Okay..." Novilene claps her hand to get their attention. "Let's start divided our groups.."
She's The One
Alex is furiously typing the keyboard to find where his siblings are. He slapped Tony's hand away from his computer and the Italian man frowned at him.
"Talk about being possessive about their things." Tony grumbled and Alex ignored him.
"I can't let you screwed up my stuff when we need to find them." Alex pointed out and pushing his glasses up. "It's been a long time that I've done this... I hope this is my first and my last to use this IT skills."
"You should've done IT than nursing, Alex." Morgan pointed out and was impressed by how this boy is talented in electronics. Garcia and Timmy are no match for Alex intelligence so they let him do their work.
"Thanks... I would still choose nursing than IT." His computer beeps. "This is a binary code... to open this video."
"Can you do it, Alex?" Gideon asks him curiously.
"Yeah... I've memorized the numbers convert it to big or small letters." Alex answered and typing it furiously. "Then.... the binary codes is the password of the encrypted video... voila!" He puts it on the screen to reveal a woman that looks identical to Novilene but more like Gideon's female version.
"If anyone of you... please save my family and I." The woman in her 20's plead behind the video while everyone are surprise of hearing the news. "We've been forced to someone to do the work that helps them to launch the nuclear. They are looking for a man name Brij Nath because they need his satellite to activate it. Without the satellite, it could take a long time to activate it."
"She... has a family?" Alex muttered and blinking his eyes. "They have her because she's been forced to help them activate the nuclear." He bits his lower lip nervously
"Look for Brij Nath, Garcia." Hotch ordered Garcia as his gaze never left on the screen.
"Whatever happens to me... please save my family. We're in India." The woman ends the call.
"I bet that's where they headed." Morgan spoke up. "Think about it? Cruz is an intelligent woman and I bet they headed there as well."
"I deleted the video before the enemies could find it." Alex informed them. "They are smart and cunning person. If they find out of the video, herself and her family are in great danger."
"Have you found his information, Garcia?" Gideon asks Garcia.
"Yes, Sir." Garcia answered.
"Tell us what you found."
She's The One
Benji showed Brandt a device to save him from falling. "Okay, to shut down the satellite we have to manually tap into the central server." He explained it to the tech analyst. "And you'll enter through the exhaust vent wearing this under your suit. Uh, drop down into the computer ray and I'll catch you. Then move you along to the relay room, and you jack into the panel." Not knowing Brandt is staring at him with a skeptical look on his face.
Brandt sighs heavily and trying to recall his tasks. "Okay, so we enter the party separately as guests. Ethan quarterbacks... Zack and Phoebe are staying in the hidden rooms so they could protect Novilene... Lia, Spencer and Noelle are going to stop Turner, Wells and Dawn while Jane gets the codes..." Trailing off his words and Benji started to get annoyed at him.
"Gets the codes from the billionaire, I switch off the fan, you jump into the computer array and I catch you. You plug in the transmitter." Brandt lifts his finger but Benji ignored it. "Ethan feeds me the codes which I then use to pinpoint Hendrick's location."
"How come Novilene knows where those three are without Hendricks?" Brandt asks curiously.
"Novilene knows Turner because he killed her mother three or four years ago." Benji sighs sadly and remembered how Novilene felt so broken before. "Turner taunting her ever since and Novilene studied his every move."
"That explains why she knew him very well more than any of us could." He connected the dots why Novilene is desperate to stopped Turner before he could kill more people.
"Yeah, and because she's pregnant... she can't risk herself to lose her baby, decided to back this one out and let us handle it." He reminded him since they are down one Agent and couldn't afford to lose another one.
"Is Novilene insane of sending her boyfriend on the field?" Brandt asks Benji with disbelief looked on his face. "No offense but that kid is scrawny and how he managed to be with her... we never know."
"What about Lia?" Benji raises his right eyebrow at him. "You judge Spencer so quickly whereas Lia didn't."
"She's a tough woman." He shakes his head and decided to change the subject. "Okay, um... just breezed over something I think... is really important." Benji stared at him blankly. "The computer array part, where I just... jump?"
"And I catch you." Benji finished the sentence.
"Yeah." He nodded his head in agreement.
"I don't... why is it so hard to grasp?" Benji asks exasperatedly towards the Analyst. "Do you want to swap with Lia instead?"
"No!" Brandt denied the idea of Lia jumping off to shut down the satellite. Benji smirked of him being overprotective towards Lia despite he barely knows her. "Why it's a 25-foot drop. And we're using magnets."
"Yeah." He chuckled and completely not understand of Brandt's problem of him jumping off by himself without any assistance.
"In light of our recent efforts..." Brandt pointed out. "Uh, the technology is kind of..."
"The Science is sound. All right?" Benji spoke up in a defensive tone. "I'd be more worried about the heat."
"And then there's that..." In a flat tone. "What heat?" Brandt asks demanded of the IT Analyst.
"Well... it's like any computer, isn't it?" He asks him irritatedly. "If you switch off the fan..." Benji stopped and gulped nervously. "It's gonna get really hot."
"Of course." He fakes a laugh of Benji's obvious explanation.
"Relatively, you know." He cleared his throat.
"Of course it will..." Brandt scratches his head. "I'm jumping into a... an oven essentially."
"Yeah... essentially." He smiled sheepishly. "But, um, I'll catch you."
"Great." He gives him a deadpanned expression. "Just geat."
She's The One
Reid is holding Novilene close while stroking her stomach in deep thoughts. "Wrong place in a wrong time... are we going to be alright for this?" He asks his girlfriend curiously. "You're pregnant Lenny and I can't lose you both." He held her close gently.
"We have to..." Novilene assured Reid. "No matter how good we are in hiding... they could always find us. Look where it got me... I lost my mom." She sighs sadly.
"Promise me something." Reid holds her face gently. "You would never bring yourself in danger for you and the baby."
"I can't promise you that, Spen..." Novilene sighs heavily. "These enemies are smart and cunning. I'll try to avoid getting involved of fighting."
"That's all I could ask for." He kissed her on the lips. "I love you, Lenny."
"Love you too, Spen."

"You need to calm down Spencer." Noelle whispered at the young BAU Agent. "Don't show any fear or nervous or they might be starting to get suspicious on you... including you, Lia." She noticed Lia is nervous as well.
Reid is between Noelle and Lia while the women are linking their arms against him. Novilene, Phoebe and Zack aren't involved in attending the party so they get stuck inside of the hotel room to be their eyes and ears for them.
"Comm check?" Ethan asks each one of them.
"Saturn's got your five-by-five, Jupiter." Brandt informed Ethan.
"Sun, Moon and Earth are heading in." Noelle informed them.
"This is Pluto." Benji huffs tiredly by climbing down the ladder. "I have arrived at the party." He told them.
Each one of them are given codenames. Venus is for Carter, Saturn for Brandt, Jupiter for Ethan, Earth for Reid, Sun for Noelle, Moon for Lia, Star for Novilene, Meteor for Zack and Mercury for Phoebe.
"There he is." Carter murmured and saw the target. Grabbing a glass of champagne to drink and trying her best to relax before she could screw up the mission again.
"Get us the code, Venus." Novilene told Carter while watching the screen.
"I found Wells." Noelle informed them.
"Sun, go to Wells." Ethan told Noelle and she didn't hesitate to leave Lia and Reid alone since they know how to use a gun to protect themselves. Carter is approaching towards Nath and leaving Ethan alone. "Venus is moving-in on target."
"Hook's in." Lia informed them seeing Nath took the bait. "I'm impressed of your skills, Venus." She compliments Carter for luring Nath.
"Why am I in Pluto?" Benji whined and complaining about his codename. "It's not even a planet anymore."
"Well..." Brandt smirked. "I think Uranus is available."
There was a long pause and Benji laugh sarcastically. "Hahaha, it's funny cause you said 'anus'."
"Did you know that Pluto was named after the Greek God of Underworld?" Reid asks them curiously.
"Ha! Take that, Saturn." He smiled triumph while Brandt rolls his eyes.
"Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun and the first to be discovered by scientists. Although Uranus is visible to the naked eye, it was long mistaken as a star because of the planet's dimness and slow orbit. The planet is also notable for its dramatic tilt, which causes its axis to point nearly directly at the sun." Reid explained about Uranus while Phoebe looked amused hearing it while half them, excluding, Novilene, groaned at him. "British-"
"Okay, pretty boy." Brandt huffs at his ramble. "We get it." Not expecting Novilene's boyfriend is completely nerd.
"Pluto happened to be reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet." Lia pointed out and earned a laugh from Novilene and snickering from Brandt.
"Moon..." Benji called Lia. "I hate you."
"Hehe... my bad." She smiled sheepishly towards Reid and he returned the gesture.
"I'm in position." Brandt informed them.
"Sending in the rover." Benji informed the Chief Analyst.
"Lia, look." Reid called Lia and he glances behind. "We found Dawn and she's with Wells."
"I thought Noelle is following her?" Lia asks Reid in a hushed tone.
"Me too." Both of them looked confused and wondering where Noelle is.
"Sun?" Novilene called Noelle worriedly.
"I found something... they're holding a hostage a boy and the father." Noelle explained while using a device to hear their conversation. "They have this woman name, Octavia Lester, to help them activate the code."
"Octavia Lester..." Zack murmured and searching for any information about her. "She's a Nurse and have a criminal record for hacking the Pentagon when she was 16 years old."
"Why would they need her for?" Phoebe asks Zack curiously.
"If Nath didn't give them the code, she will be their last resort." Novilene explained. "Requesting for backup?"
"Yes." Noelle immediately hides under the bed before they could catch her.
"Earth and Moon, go." Novilene ordered them.
Reid and Lia didn't hesitate to aid Noelle's help. Novilene sighs nervously and biting her lower lips rarely when she's anxious, terrified and petrified for them.
"And rover's in position." Benji informed Brandt and typing on the computer to hack in their system. "Spinning down the turbine."
"He's e-mailing." Phoebe informed Carter. "Venus. Be Venus. Become a vixen, Venus." She reminded Carter knowing she might kill Phoebe for it.
"Husband? Boyfriend?" Nath asks Carter curiously.
"More of a co-worker." Carter answered with a flirtatious smiled on her face.
"Saturn, take the leap." Ethan ordered Brandt.
Brandt exhales heavily to get himself ready while stretching his body to calm his nerves. "Ok." He clears his throat. "Jumping. Jumping now." He removes his tie and pulling his sleeves up.
"I have faith in you, Will." Lia encouraged the Chief Analyst. "Do your best."
"Thanks, Lia... for having faith in me." He muttered and looking down on the floor. "Jump now?" Brandt asks them curiously.
"Yes. Commit. Jump." Ethan answered while looking after Carter.
"Jump."
"Jump."
"And I catch you." Benji reminded Brandt.
"Now." Novilene told Brandt impatiently.
"Just think of it you're in a sky diving, Saturn." Lia tried to calm Brandt's nerve and give Reid a look to refrain him from giving statistics.
"Sky diving... got it." Brandt muttered and sighs heavily. "So, uh, you're sure about this suit, right, Benji?" He asks Benji and in doubt, Brandt might die for this.
"Pretty sure." Benji answered.
"Now, you're pretty sure?" He asks sarcastically and chuckled.
"For the love of heavens, Saturn!" Novilene snapped as Zack and Phoebe jumped in surprised of her sudden emotions. "Do as your fucking told!"
"You're lucky enough that you didn't do it." Brandt retorted back and didn't expect Novilene could lose her cool. He almost forgets Novilene is pregnant and normal for her to have mood swings. "Oh, God. All right. Ahh!" He screamed and jumped off.
"Ah!" Zack yelled in pain when Novilene held his hand tightly and accidentally break it.
"Did you jump?" Phoebe asks Brandt worriedly.
"Should I not have jumped?" Brandt asks them back. "Cause I jumped!"
"Zack deserves to have his arm break by Star's strength." She commented with a cheeky smile on her face.
"Stand by." Ethan ordered him.
She's The One
Reid and Lia managed to go Noelle's side as they went inside of the air vent and big enough for them to get in together.
"Is that..." Noelle gives Lia a look and she quickly closes her mouth. The three of them are looking down to see the turn out of events.
Turner is watching the family like a hawk. He chuckled and moved his chess piece. "Sooner or later... I'll have my lovely sweet Cruz." Turner spoke up and sighs softly.
"Why would you need her so badly?" The woman asks him curiously with a hint of anger. "Why do you need us!?"
"Tch, tch, tch..." Turner stands up and approached the woman. "Cruz becomes more softie for the past few months... I break her for killing Maria right in front of her."
Noelle clenches her hand into fists and controlling her temper. She remembered clearly how Novilene became a rogue Agent when Turner breaks her.
"If it wasn't for the pesky traitor.." He hissed angrily and throwing the dagger on the wall. "I would have her and that William's daughter by now!"
Noelle silently gives them a look to take off their ear comms as they are hesitant to do it. Reluctantly, Reid and Lia did as their told.
"Why involve us when we haven't done anything wrong!" The father exclaimed angrily and getting fed up by his actions.
"You didn't?" Turner tilted his head and smirked widely. "Your wife is the key... of all these years, none of them knows your Octavia is part of my plan."
"Leave my family alone and have me instead." The woman, Octavia pleads at Turner.
"You beg, which I love begging people!" Turner laughs while clapping his hands. "Bravo, shall we do it? Boys!" He snapped his fingers.
"Now!" Noelle ordered them as they break the air vent.
All hell breaks loose as Lia and Noelle are fighting off the men while Reid is not high-skilled to combat but managed to shoot them. Octavia's husband takes a chance to drag his wife and son out of the room before they could capture them.
"ENOUGH!" Turner shoots Octavia's husband and her son.
"No!" Octavia screamed and caught them before they could fall. "Cardo and Oliver!" She sobs and holding her last family.
The men grab their arm to prevent them from fighting. Lia feels sorry for Octavia's family got killed right in front of her. Turner didn't show any sympathy and grabs Octavia's head.
"Aah!" Octavia screamed in pain and got a slap by him.
"The pawn is defeated since my pieces finally move." Turner spoke up and turned around to face them. "My, my, Noelle... you've grown beautiful."
"You're still the monster, Turner." Noelle snapped back.
"Ah, ah!" Turner gives his men a look to shut her up by punching her stomach.
"Gah!" She coughs in pain.
"Leave her alone!" Lia yelled and struggling to escape from his grasps.
"Hmm..." Turner approached the woman and held her face tightly. "You've strong potential but not enough to stop us." He faces the young Doctor Agent. "Spencer Reid... Novilene's Cruz lover. It's an honor to see you in person and change Cruz to become a better person."
"I don't want Novilene to become a killer just like you." Reid spoke up coldly which is unusual for him as he always rambles or stuttered, most of the time.
"You deeply care for her. Pity cause she took something from me." He lets go Lia's face.
"Novilene will give what you wanted, Turner." Noelle growled at him angrily. "She's clever enough to know your intentions are."
"Where is Novilene, Noelle?" Turner asks Noelle but she didn't reply. "Traitor, I am asking you!" He slaps Noelle's face.
"Go to hell!" She spatted angrily. "I would never tell you where she is!"
"Let's start, shall we?" He smirked sadistically. "Send those women away and tie him up." He ordered them.
"Spencer!" Lia and Noelle screamed for Reid's name as they've been taking away from him.
"Lia and Noelle!" Reid yelled and has no match for his strength against his.
Turner darkly chuckled and stared at him like prey. "Better Novilene rush over before things get messy."
Reid gulped nervously and silently prayed for someone saving them. He needs to live for he wanted to see his child or children growing up together with Novilene.
