Quebec Safehouse, 1 week later
Everyone is there. Danger, who has fully healed from his scars and bought a new pair of sunglasses, Dart, Zero and White, Downfall, who doesn't really understand why she is there, Sparrow, who wants to walk away, Rivera, Jackdaw, who seems more grumpy than ever, Ryan, who stopped grieving his daughter, and Wren in his cell, wanting to kill everyone in the room, still considering Danger's offer
"You might be wondering why we are all here"
"Won't you tell us why, then?"
"We need to see what we will do after Black Dusk"
Danger sits down
"Some of you will be able to walk away. Some of us will still be hunted"
Everyone looks at each other
"You mean..."
"Yes. The FBI agreed to write off the crimes of Sparrow, Downfall, Zero, Hydra, White, Ryan and Rivera"
"What about you?"
"They still have to chase someone. So me and Dart, as well as Jackdaw and Wren, if he joins us, will be hunted down. This will give you a distraction to get your life back together. Maybe get married, I don't know"
"You're sacrificing your freedom for ours?"
"Essentially. I can't walk away, so it's better that way"
"What will happen at Black Dusk?"
"So. Dart, White and Zero will infiltrate the Halcyon HQ in Toronto at midnight and transfer all data to London. Then, you will blow it sky high. We have a fix on Mason's location. Jackdaw?"
"Yes?"
"You'll have the honor of killing him"
"What about us?"
"Sparrow will help us get to the airport and get to London. The others will be waiting here"
"You?"
"We found where Halcyon is hiding project Onyx. I will take care of it personally"
"..."
"Wren"
"What do you want?"
"I need a yes or no"
"...yes"
"See? It wasn't that hard"
Danger rises up
"We will meet in London to pop open a champagne. For now, good luck"
SCRS HQ, Quebec
"I didn't know the FBI and Steel Cove were involved"
Diana, James, Hemlock and Nightshade have all met in the SCRS HQ for a brief about the assault
"Danger is still our number one fugitive. We want him behind bars"
"Or dead"
"So, what you want from us is our help?"
"Indeed. Danger is determined to take down the organisation that attacked the facility, Halcyon"
"Do we know where he is?"
"We only know he is still in Canada. Intel from a Michigan base suggests that their strikes will be global, but centered in the Toronto province"
"Who are in on this trick?"
"Everyone. The Yakuza, the cartels, the Russians"
"I mean who organised it"
"Apart from Danger? Two people. Jack Miles, former FBI turned gun for hire. Betrayed by Halcyon is '07. Also Ryan Ross. Multimillionaire. His daughter was presumably abducted by Halcyon in '05"
