Chapter 15
Lincoln watched from the safety of the car as Agent Mahone entered the warehouse, "Thats another one arrived" He told Charles Westmoreland who was in the passenger seat.
"That much of the Company in one place cannot be good" Charles said thoughtfully.
Lincoln nodded "I would love to be a fly on the wall" He thought for a moment "There must be another way inside."
"Not worth it" Charles argued, "If we are discovered they will literally fry us."
Lincoln got out of the car, "It is too good a opportunity to pass up" He said in a tone that brokered no argument.
Charles sighed and got out his phone, "Aldo we have a problem" He said once the call went through.
Director Shepherd rushed into the situation room, "I need a update" She said to the room at large.
Aldo looked up "Charles says he just heard a crash and lots of yelling, he thinks Lincoln has been discovered" Aldo shook his head "I can't believe Lincoln could be so stupid."
"I have two teams on their way there now" Agent Morris told the Director "But they will be about twenty minutes away"
"There are no other agencies that can be trusted" Director Shepherd said thoughtfully, "Are there any other teams out in the field?"
"There is a team on their way back from Rockville that would pass close by" Andrew Forsman replied.
"Who? no wait" The Director said as the irony of the situation hit her, "It must be Scofields team right?" Andrew nodded in reply, "I will talk to him myself" She said as she put headphones on.
Director Shepherd waited patiently as the call went through, "Scofield" He answered in a tired voice.
"Agent Scofield how far away is your team from the warehouses on High Street?" She asked.
"Approximately five minutes" He replied.
"Make it four, Its 168 High Street, Warehouse 3b" She told him stressing the urgency, She heard him repeat the address to Tony who was driving, then he was back on the line, "What is the situation?" He asked.
"Our sources got a report very recently of a Company meeting taking place there tonight, a couple of them went to have a look an now it sounds like one of them has been captured" She hesitated, something she was sure Scofield would pick up on, "Its Lincoln Burrows" She finally told him.
Director Shepherd turned away from Aldo's inquiring face as She heard Micheal use several words she had never heard him use before, "Are there more teams coming?" He asked after a moment.
"Two more about fifteen minutes behind you" She confirmed.
Lincoln knew he was in a lot of trouble now and started to think maybe he could have thought this out a bit better as he tried to loosen the chains they had him locked in.
"You know, I was the agent in charge of your sons case" The person that seemed to be running things told him, "I interviwed Lj every day for three weeks, so I probably know more about him than his own father."
Agent Mahone smiled as Lincoln's eyes narrowed in anger, "Hit him a few times Brad" He instructed just as the warehouse doors burst open.
"NCIS!, Freeze!, Drop your weapons!" The shouts rang out around the warehouse, as about a dozen agents entered from various parts of the building.
Agent Mahone cursed silently as he produced his identification, "FBI, This is my case" He said calmly.
The NCIS agent in charge gestured towards Burrows, Who Alex had hoped was hidden, "No matter what case you are investigating, A suspect does not deserve that."
One of Mahones colleagues suddenly sensed a losing battle and took a shot at one of the NCIS agents who ducked and then shot said idiot through the chest. At this point a firefight immediately broke out involving guns and some fists.
After telling Brad Bellick to kill Burrows, Agent Mahone headed covertly towards the agent in charge, before noting with annoyance that the agent had seen the threat to the prisoner and shot Bellick from a impressive distance.
Having earlier put his gun down as a sign of good faith to his colleagues, Mahone had nothing to fight with apart from his fists but he knew how to turn the odds in his favour.
Managing to avoid detection in the chaos, he snuck up behind the agent and jabbed his elbow into the agents right eye. With the agents vision almost completely gone in that eye, Agent Mahone was about to deliver a killer shot, but either this agent was superman or he made a impossibly quick recovery, He turned and stepping in he stopped Mahones right arm with his left shoulder then brought his gun up and pressed it to Mahones forehead as the whole room froze and went silent.
"You only ever get one chance with me" He told Mahone almost pleasantly.
Micheal looked around as the suspects were rounded up and led away, he saw the man he shot who had been about to kill Lincoln, and went to check the body, no pulse, he turned to walk away without looking at Lincoln.
"Hey bro!, Mike!, Micheal!" Micheal stopped and lifted his head but kept his back to Lincoln. "Do you think it is too much to ask to let me out of these chains?" Lincoln asked sarcastically.
Finally Micheal turned and looked at him, "You started this mess tonight" He said indicating the warehouse around them, "So you can probably stay there a little bit longer" and with that he turned and walked away.
Micheal stopped at the agent nearest to Lincoln, "Let him yell a little while, then let him loose and give him some milk and he will sleep like a baby" The agent grinned and Micheal smirked as he walked away hoping he wouldn't have to deal wih Lincoln again that night.
