Week Three: Monday
When: Before Dawn
Where: Outskirts of Seattle
Who: Silva and DEA - Narrative
"You ready?" the mans voice was too excited, a rookie on his first raid, Silva was nearly certain the guy was going to fuck up and make this more difficult then it needed to be. The new ones always got ahead of themselves; they rushed in guns blazing thinking it all a damned game still. Didn't matter how long they'd been street cops, they seemed to forget it all once they got into this. Silva knew first hand it wasn't a game, she had the fucking scars to prove it. The ones they went after weren't looking for jail time again. They'd kill every cop there if they could to get away. The only way to survive was to never give them that chance. Most cops didn’t like anyone saying shoot first and ask questions later…didn’t seem very kind, didn’t make it seem like they were giving them chance. Why give them chance? Why give them shit?
Silva didn’t care how “bad” it sounded. When it came down to it she pulled the trigger and she had no regrets. She was alive, they were dead, it worked for her.
“Hey, Silva, you ready!” the kid had a crush, he was warned a hundred times over by all the others to keep the hell away from her. But apparently that cold bitch thing just turned him odd. Gave him that urge to crack her, make her open up. He didn’t get it. Boy didn’t have a clue. Wasn’t her type and wasn’t ever going to happen. She didn’t even know the rookies name. Likely he wasn’t really that much younger then her but he acted like it, an excited little fucking puppy that looked like he was about ready to pee his pants the second you give him any attention at all.
She looked at him, and his eyes little up. How sad.
A look, nothing more, no answer, no reply. A look and then she looked forward again, watching the road as the car continued on. She could feel him staring, boring holes into the back of her head. She could even imagine him biting his lip, debating how to get her to look back again. To talk. Silva wasn’t much for small talk. It was just filler to the silence and she didn’t mind silence. Silence gave her time to prepare, to get ready. Back at the station they’d gone over the plan over and over again. Repeated till they could recite it like a song. She knew how it was supposed to go down, but rarely did things go as planned. She’d seen that enough in her life. Best plans often ended up the most fucked. Good intentions making that path right on into hell.
“Let it go man…” the voice was nothing more then a whisper, did they think she was deaf? The rookie glared at the other, stupid kid just wasn’t listening. He’d get the hint eventually, they all did. Hundreds of turned down dates later, too many attempts at conversations down the line. He wasn’t the first to try to make a move. He wouldn’t be the last. Silva didn’t get it, not in the least. She wasn’t exactly looking to either. If they wanted to keep wasting their time she’d let them.
( Almost there, everyone remember the plan? )
