Jacinda smirked at Ten's comment. Not that she got it. Lemons? Jokes never translated. Her Spanish was fairly good, but the minute people started with the dichos or chistes she just pasted a half smile on and nodded. Not usually worth the time it would take to explain, anyway.
Still, she did like it when a laugh cracked the woman's face. Girlie, on the other hand, was all kinds of jokey. Not a bad trait to have on missions. Helped with tensions and such.
The wall slid open and she selected her weapon. Jacinda was fine with her own side piece, though she loaded up on ammo. And took an ear piece too. And her leather jacket, now that it had been cleaned. Ten had to help her put it on...well on the side with the rib break.
She eyed the girl, daring her to say something. Ten didn't appear to get the ear piece so she showed her. Prolly not a lot of signal in the mountains of northern India. Their use had limits for certain terrains.
Anyway, loaded for bear, they headed out, Jacinda a little slower with hip and ribs. This was mostly recon but whatever. She'd power through. And once outside she stopped, watching the girls walk away from her. Girlie really did look 12 in her hoodie with shoes all lighting up with different colors. Are you fucking kidding me? she thought with a laugh.
She rolled her eyes and caught up. It wasnt far.
They got to their destination quickly and while the other two looked around, she palmed the entrance. In the kill zone, she had her gun out, on point, the other two in position. She could smell bleach in the air. A lot of it.
She was aware of Amelia dispatching her drones, but she liked to use her eyes for this.
"Hello? Friendly types here!"
No sound. More importantly, the house had that empty feel. She wasn't sure what it was, exactly. A combination of things. Puzzle pieces. Air pressure. Smells. Sounds. It formed a pattern that she'd learned to recognize over the years.
Still, she was careful and swung around the corner. Everything was dark, but empty. "Clear!"
she called out before checking another room. She heard clears from the girls as they did the same with the others.
Finally, they all gathered in the main living room, lights having been switched on. Jacinda gestured to the terminal. "Well Amelia, not with IT. Let's see what's going on."
