Blackwood Residence, Michigan, A week after Operation Light Breach
Danger wakes up in the middle of the night
"The same nightmare"
Danger unlocks a door, scribbles something in a paper and puts it on a canvas. He takes a picture. His phone rings
"Jackdaw"
"Danger. Are you ready to break Dart out of jail?"
"When?"
"You have 7 hours. The route is DC - NY"
"At which point?"
"At the border"
"Good. See you there"
Danger rushes to a bookshelf and pulls a book. The bookshelf retracts, revealing an armory. Danger disassembles an anti-armor rifle and puts it in a briefcase. He closes the armory and wears a suit. He exits the house, locks behind, gets on a motorbike and leaves
New York - District of Columbia border, 3 hours later
"What is the plan?"
"We will assault the convoy"
"Thank god I brought this bad boy"
Danger assembles the rifle
"Nice. You have money to throw away"
"What is the convoy?"
"Classic FBI convoy. 2 SUVs in front, an armored transfer truck in the middle and 3 SUVs. All with bulletproof windows"
"Halcyon can't know I was here"
"Let's then make sure they won't"
Jackdaw gives Danger a ghillie suit
"Wear this and get to a place you are hidden but can shoot"
"Like a Vietcong"
"Also, does the gun have a flash hider?"
"Of course. I might be heard, but they won't know from where I shot at"
"Your job is simple. Immobilize the trucks, prioritizing..."
"The front and the back"
"You seem to know the drill"
"I am not new to this kind of life, Jackdaw"
"I will plant explosives to the armored truck and get Dart out"
"Extraction?"
"For you, your motorcycle. For me and Dart, I have Sparrow on standby"
"I hope she did not take it that hard"
"She will forget about it. She is very cheerful"
"Just like Rose"
"..."
"I know Jackdaw"
"That Rose saved me?"
"Yes. I was there"
"You weren't"
"I was the voice on the other side of the door that Wren shot"
"That's why you wanted to help me?"
"No. Halcyon took something from me. It doesn't matter anymore"
"Well. The convoy is approaching. Get in position"
Danger wears the suit and hides in a bush
"I can see the convoy"
"Sparrow"
