The Raid
You shut the door behind you again and your attention was drawn as you saw Dex and Nadeem walking over to you quite quickly. They appeared to be geared up already.
“What’s happening ?” you say as you walk over to them.
“Fisk has released new information about a druglord. We are going there now. I need you to gear up, (y/n). We are raiding the place, catch them off guard.” Nadeem tells you and he appears to be nervous. Dex on the other hand seemed more then happy to go.
“Alright, I’ll be ready in 4.” you ran past them to get your special gear.
Putting on the special gear went fast, you made sure that your bulletproof vest was in good condition before putting it on. You checked your guns twice, you even took an extra knife with you. Even if anything were to happen, this time you would be better prepared.
Walking out of the room you saw Dex leaning against the wall, clearly waiting for you.
“Ready to go?” he asks as he pushes himself from the wall.
“Yup. You?” why did you ask that? Why? He looked ready to go into war, clearly carrying more weapons then you.
He smirked and looked at you as if you had just told him a joke “Yeah.”
You walked next to eachother as you made your way to the vehicles that were waiting outside of the building. There were four cars, you already knew Nadeem would prefer to have you join him so you walked towards that car. When you got in the car, Nadeem and another agent were already in it.
“Hi, I’m Agent (y/n). And you are?” the driver turned around and shook your hand.
“Hobbs. Looking forward to working with you.” he seemed like a nice guy, very casual.
“Likewise.”
The door on the other side went open and you saw that another Agent that you didn’t know yet wanted to get in only to be interrupted by Dex.
“I’ve got this one covered, Agent.” Dex told the agent.
“Sure thing, Poindexter.” the agent went on to join the other team in the vehicle behind the one you were in.
Dex got in the car next to you, and you were gratefull that he was joining your team. It added a stronger feeling of safety.
Nadeem looked as if he wanted to say something about Dex joining your team all of a sudden, you reckon he was supposed to work with the other team on this mission. Nadeem rolls his eyes and let’s it slide.
“Alright, Everyone buckled up?” Nadeem directed the question to everyone in the car. The ambush still fresh in your memory, he didn’t have to tell you twice to use your seatbelt.
Everyone confirmed, but you saw Nadeem looking in the rear view mirror. “Dex, we’re not starting until EVERYONE is buckled up.” he said in authoritative voice and you knew it was a command.
You looked at Dex and saw that he was not wearing his seatbelt.
“Come on, really?” Dex scoffed “We’ll be there in what, 5 minutes? It’s quicker this way to exit the car.”
You groaned “Damnit Dex, just wear the damn seatbelt. Those few extra seconds you save exiting the car are not worth your life.” You leaned over him to grab the damn seatbelt that was on his side, If he wasn’t going to buckle himself up, you would do it. You hadn’t forgotten how the car had flipped and killed the driver in the ambush.
Dex reacted suprised at you suddenly leaning over him as you grabbed the seatbelt. “Alright, fine.” he says as he takes the seatbelt from your hand “I got it. If it makes you happy, then fine.” you hadn’t been so close to him before and right now you felt very aware of that fact. You had expected to an annoyed expression on his face, but as you looked at him you found that was not the case. His expression was different, not like his smug look that he usually appeared to have. It dawned on you just how good-looking he actually was and could help but register how good he smelled. You quickly sat back straight in your own seat and cleared your throat, heart pounding in your chest. You didn’t look at Dex as he secured his seatbelt. You just prayed you were not blushing as you tried to act as if nothing had happened. You felt his gaze on you as you continued to keep yours straight ahead and hoped they would start the car. And they did.
“Great, now we can go.” Nadeem broke the silence. Thank god.
Once you arrived at the place where the raid was going to take place, your mouth dropped. The house was huge.
“Alright, listen up. We are going around the back of the house.” Nadeem draw the attention “Dex, you take your team around the side of the house.” he put intonation on the word your and you were proven right to think that Dex was not even supposed to be driving in this vehicle but with the other team. Dex looked like he wanted to protest again but stayed silent. “The other teams will go through the front door and the other side of the house. Any questions?”
Yeah, you had one “Do we know how many people are inside ?”.
Nadeem shook his head. “Negative. We will clear the ground floor. Dex, you take the second.”
“Copy that.” Dex sounded a bit irritated, you believe it was because he wanted to be on your team. And you wished that he was.
“We go in quietly, arrest everyone in that place. Stay alert. A place like that has many rooms to hide in. Everyone ready? Dex? Hobbs? (y/n)?” he asked for confirmation.
“Ready as i’ll ever be.” you tell Nadeem.
“Good, let’s get in there.” he says and you quietly get out of the vehicle.
You were about to follow Hobbs and Nadeem as you felt someone pulling your arm lightly, stopping you. You were suprised Dex would touch your arm, not that you minded. You welcomed it.
“Anything goes wrong in there..” he starts and struggles “Don’t hesitate to use that gun, alright ? ”
Not what you were expecting but then again, it’s Dex. You took it as his way for telling you to stay safe.
“I won’t.” you thought about telling him the same thing but in his case, you wondered if it was smart to tell him to not hesitate to use his gun.
He let go of your arm and walked away from you almost reluctantly.
“Dex.” you called out to him, yet kept your voice to a low volume. He looked to you over his shoulder. “Stay safe.” you meant it. You needed him to be safe.
He gave you a smile that sended shivers down your spine, in a good way that is. Before he walked away towards his team.
You followed Hobbs and Nadeem as you sneaked alongside the wall surrounding the house. Hobbs offered to help you over the wall, but you did not need it. This was not the first time you had climbed a wall. Hobbs followed and lastly Nadeem. You drew your guns as Nadeem leaded your team towards the backdoor of the house. The backdoor was also the door to the garage, which had housed 3 vehicle including a ferrari.
“Damn, I got in the wrong line of work.” Hobbs exclaimed.
You positioned yourself against the wall next to a door as Nadeem opened it slowly. Hobbs went in first followed by you and Nadeem. The room was clear, it was a small kitchen. Hobbs went ahead into the next room and as you followed you found yourself standing inside an impressive luxurious living room. The walls were a bordeaux red and the curtains were golden. The walls of the place were filled with what appeared to be expensive paintings. Probably stolen.
You carefully checked a side room which was a small guest bathroom. Quickly checking the shower if anyone was in there.
The loud sound of a gunshot coming from the living room startled you.
