Home in Louisiana once agan
After their trip to the prison, Jason was happy that he and Sammy were pulling up to Gran's place to spend some time. He loved his old home, but damn if he didn't love it more because Sammy was with him. Gran met them out on the back porch and smiled, looking spry for a woman who'd had a heart a attack just a year ago.

"Hi, Gran! I brought your favorite secret agent to see you again." Jason grins, going to get their bags.

"I see that, Jason. Be a dear and handle the luggage while I work on getting this poor girl fed. Sammy, you look like skin and bones." Gran frets.

Jason tries not to laugh, giving Sammy an "I-told-you-so" look.

"How nice your employer has knowledge of one of the men who personally guaranteed there would be a 21st century for everyone regardless of their dirtbag status."

She shifted her shoulders trying to get her hands free and felt the weight around her neck. Her brain raced to figure the implications of what he said and how she could make it work to her advantage. All bets said they didn't know Jacob Landon was Cocoa Puff crazy about his little brother's safety, and threatening Jason would make the crazy guy a viper in their midst. Then again, Jake would blame her for it. He was all too happy to believe the worst.

"Don't you think it's a little stupid to think time means something to me if you believe I can make it stop?"

	"I'm just aware of who you are, Samantha. I'm not taking anything for granted when it comes to you, which is why I'm trading you one Landon for another." he says. "I can give you twenty-three hours to think over my offer. After that, I need an answer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She scowled over the 'Samantha'. It irritated her to no end when somebody used her proper name, especially scum trying to blackmail her into getting a whackjob killer out of jail.

"You want proof of life. My employer figured as much. His description of you indicates that you have a lot of trouble keeping your professional life separated from your personal." Delgado says.

He pulls a phone from inside of his coat and the Sammy can see from the model that it's a pre-paid phone. He presses a button,then puts the phone on speaker.

There is a single ring, followed by silence.

"Put Landon on the phone." he says.

There's a grunting and bit of a struggle, followed by Jason's voice, which sounds slurred and groggy.

"Hullo?"

Trouble separating personal and professional? This guy didn't know what he was talking about. She wasn't the person he and his employer were going to deal with if Jason Landon suffered over this.

"I say that you're going to get a doctor in there to take a look at that man. You're going to take such good care of him that his lunatic killer of a brother won't make you eat your own gun for hurting his younger brother. Because I'm going to tell him every detail when I get him out. Since I only have your name and description, you're the one I'm sacrificing first."

	Delgado favors Sammy with a smile. "I'll let my employer know that you've agreed." he says, rising from his chair. "As long as you play by the rules, nothing bad happens to Jason." he says, turning to go. "Someone will be along shortly to help you get ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy bit her tongue to keep from saying anything else, or attempting to try to pause time to see if they managed to calibrate a collar to something other than the x-gene. Chances were that if they were this well informed, they might have surveillance to document any abnormalities that would show up if she paused time and moved around. Even the slightest sudden shift of position would show up on a digital image.

She settled for another glare. It couldn't hurt to be seen as a green agent with a personal issue. They'd underestimate her.

Still, somebody was going to cease breathing over what happened to Jason. In that, she had to admit that Jake Landon was right. She was a killer. Just not the sort he assumed.

"You do that."

	With the room surveillance in mind, Sammy was out of her few clothes and into the leather body suit in a matter of minutes. She took extra time to examined the gun. Not hers, and not as advanced as what she was used to. Jason had changed all her expectations for firearms. Outside the door, she gestured the girl to lead the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy is led down a series of halls in the dark until she arrives inside a lighted war room not unlike her father's on the SHIELD helicarrier. In the room is the man from her cell.

On the screen before her is none other than her brother, Mikel.

"Samantha. Glad you could make it. I hope you're not going to try anything stupid. Your little accomplice would suffer for it and you don't want that, do you?" he asks.

"Have a seat."

Sammy stood staring at the screen. In all her mental chatter, she really hadn't expected Mikel to be behind it all. He was supposed to be in the Vault. That's where Dad said they'd put him after the Zodiac mission failed. After her own brother turned her into his Capricorn.

"Why would I do something stupid? Doesn't /my/ big brother have only my best interests at heart?" she asked with heavy sarcasm. "I said I'd kill you if you ever took a free breath again. Now I'll have to make good on it."

"Are you still sour about that whole Capricorn thing, Samantha? Would it help if I apologized? I know that killing me would make you happy but Jason Landon's safety is more important to you than killing me." Mikel says.

"Mr. Delgado is here to help you with you task of getting Jacob Landon out of jail. S.H.I.E.L.D. will fall, Samantha. You know it and so do I. Maybe you should take the chance to get back on my side before everything falls apart." he says.

"You're thirty years older than me, and still completely stupid, Mikel. Maybe you should take the chance to get back on my side before I become director of SHIELD because you're going to fail. Again. Dad won't be around to clean up after you forever."

She didn't bother looking at Igor. "Why do you want Jake Landon? Have you read his file? I've talked to the man and I know that you've already done the one thing that's guaranteed to make him angry."

Pressing Mikel anymore wouldn't be productive. She knew she already made him uneasy. He would never know if she was in the room with him, or if his next breath would be his last. Not while she still breathed. She turned her mind to what little information provided on the task ahead. First she would get Jason out of this mess. Then she would come back to clean house. Mikel obviously didn't realize she was spiked. She would access that information when she returned to SHIELD and get his location.

"Yeah, right. Tell you what. I'll make sure that whatever's left of you gets a nice funeral when he's done. I'll even throw in Igor here." She shot Delgado a smirk. "Dead or alive."

Delgado returns the smirk. "You're a feisty one. It's almost attractive. Almost." he says.

"Do the job and Jason gets to walk away with all of his body parts, Samantha. Though I suspect he's going to rethink his relationship with you. I mean, he's the second...'teammate' you've nearly gotten killed on your watch, right? That's not something a man can just push aside easily." Mikel says.

"Delgado, make sure she doesn't screw this up." he says, before the screen goes dark.

Delgado looks at Sammy. "Ouch. You're a regular black widow, aren't you?" he asks.

Yeah, just what she needed. Nothing was said about Igor being returned in the same condition, though, and he was already running the risk of getting shot. She might shoot him anyway because his boss was being a jerk.

"Only when necessary. This one is all Mikel's fault. Jason would be fine if it wasn't for your interference, and you better believe I'll make sure his brother knows. Now, are you actually useful or does Mikel keep you around to make himself think he has minions? I want to get this over with."
