"This is Agent Porter. Everything seems clear here, anyone seen anything?" she said into the speaker.

"Nothing to report my end" Shane’s voice came through the radio.

"All clear here" Dana responded.

"Nothing to report" Jenny said, clearly still excited about her first real involvement in an operation.

"Alice, how you holding up?" Bette asked.

"Pretty good, except it’s so god damn hot in this car" Alice replied, winding down the window.

"Anything strike you as out of place?" Bette spoke into the radio.

"No. Not except me feeling like a sitting duck" Alice gave a half hearted laugh.

"There’s no need to worry, we got you covered" Bette said confidently.

"Thanks" Alice didn’t sound particulary reassured, but there was nothing more that the team could do at that point.

After two hours of waiting the team were growing bored. While operations may seem exciting in theory, the reality of the surveillance was far from it. Alice was fidgeting in the car and growing increasingly fed up of the fake paper work that she was pretending to do.

"All Agents, this is Agent McCutcheon" Shane’s voice came across the radio, breaking the silence "I have a visual on Lara Perkins exiting the building. Be advised, she’s heading to the car lot. Agent Schecter, she should be coming into your line of vision in the next thirty seconds"

The team focused in and waited on further updates.

"I’ve got her" Jenny advised them "she’s stopped and is reaching into her bag"

"Everyone be on stand by" came Bette’s command.

"What’s she doing now?" asked Dana, unable to wait.

"She’s…she’s looking at the target car and still has her hands in her bag" Jenny replied shakily.

Bette hurriedly moved so that she too had a visual on the suspect, but still remained hidden. She drew her weapon and took aim.

"Not to worry, she’s got her keys now and is moving away from the vehicle" Jenny said.

"Everyone stand down" Bette said with a sigh of relief as she put her gun back into its holster.

"Everyone be advised that Lara Perkins has now entered her car and is driving away. Seems to be a false alarm" Jenny informed everyone.

The agents relaxed slightly as Lara drove away. Once the moment had passed Bette almost felt disappointed that they were no closer to removing the threat to Tina’s life. Half an hour passed before anyone spoke again over the radio.
