“I get it, just…” Silas trailed off. Now really wasn’t a great time to get his nose bent out of joint about something that made sense. “Okay.” He still had trouble trusting that Rae’s ability wouldn’t just disappear the minute there was serious harm done to her. And he wanted to protect her; it was ingrained in him as protecting anyone else that was out with them, probably more, given how much he cared for her. “I won’t pull some hero bullshit.” Subject dropped. Moving on.
Silas nodded through the assessment. It was the only way to come out of this with minimal damage. To be smart about it. “I’ll watch the building,” he cut in before Brandon started the conversation with Rae. He felt a little antsy just sitting there, but this was too dangerous to just go in without a plan of action, or knowledge. Even he got that. It helped to have numbers too. He bit down on a ‘Good work, babe’ that threatened to bubble out of his mouth. For one, Rae couldn’t hear him, he didn’t have the walkie, and he didn’t want to suffer through the look that would get him. He’d tell her later. After this was done.
“Nah. Shouldn’t be too hard,” Silas agreed, scanning the building. “Rough guess is that it’s an office building. So open lobby first floor, then the stairs to the fourth. Could probably bypass the idiots on the third level for the three on the fourth, if the snipers can’t get their shots.” He moved further away from the barricade with the trust that someone was on top of watching for wires or ambushes.
He wasn’t the most stealthy, but he was quick enough to get himself through, and they only had less than a block to make, by his rough guess. “They’ve probably got the building as rigged as the street, so check the doors before we go in.”
