Chapter Summary: Dean Doesn't like Mac's Rescue plan
A/N:pen37 and I wrote this story called 5 Times Immortal!Dean met Meta!Chloe. Everyone wondered what could have kept Dean away from Chloe for 150 years as mentioned in Chapter 5: When the Fightings Done.
The story that follows explains why Dean left. Andpen37's story Methos And Chloe Save the Planet tells what Chloe did when Dean didn't come back.
Chapter 1; Chapter 2; Chapter 3; Chapter 4; Chapter 5; Chapter 6; Chapter 7
Chapter 3: That's Your Plan?
“That’s your plan, Mac?’ Dean asked incredulously, “Trust this Brand guy to sneak us into a top secret lab and free Richie.” They were still one day out from Fortuna and Dean had yet to hear one thing about this rescue that gave him any hope of its’ success.
“Brand insists he has clearance to get us past the buildings security check points. The lab isn’t heavily guarded because they don’t expect anyone to be able to get inside in the first place. “
“Well, that plan sucks.” Dean crossed his arms and set his jaw in a hard line, “It relies on complete faith in this guy. I’d feel better if we at least had some confirmation that Richie is even inside.”
“Dean, come on,” Duncan cajoled, “Richie’s family; we have to risk it”
Dean’s face twisted in anger. “Dude, enough!” He slammed his hand down on the console. His voice was flat and deadly; the kind of tone that made Vampires flinch. “That’s twice you’ve accused me of wanting to back out. You don’t have to remind me how important Richie is. Damn it Duncan, you know I am willing to risk anything for family but I’m gonna need a better plan.”
“Dean, I’m sorry,” Duncan knew he’d crossed a line. Stopping Dean from caring about those he considered family was like asking him not to breathe. “It’s not like I haven’t been careful. I haven’t used the holovid so he doesn’t know what I look like or what kind of ship I’m flying.” Duncan smiled tried to lighten the mood, “I guess your paranoia has rubbed off on me after all these years.”
“Fine, you drive for a while,” Dean said. Although judging by his expression, Dean thought that it was anything but fine. “I’m going to get some rest. If I’m going to become a government guinea pig, I’ll need my beauty sleep.” Without waiting for Mac to respond, Dean stormed off the bridge.
Mac sighed and turned his attention back to piloting the Impala. They’d been snapping at each other ever since this started. It had been a long time since he had to beg Dean to trust him.
He rechecked their route to Fortuna. They were still one day out. Hopefully, Dean would come around before they landed.
******************************
Brand was going to get a promotion out of this, he was sure. Once the prisoner had trusted him, it had been easy to garner information about another freak. The doctors had been so sure that the prisoner was a unique genetic mutation and they had been unable to crack Richie on that issue. But several covert acts of kindness later and Brand was able to get one name – Duncan Macleod. Finding MacLeod hadn’t been that hard. It seemed the guy was already looking for Ryan.
When he had stumbled upon the network that connected him to MacLeod, he knew it was his lucky day. Brand had used the information gained from Ryan to assure MacLeod that he could be trusted and they could free him together.
He had decided to capture MacLeod alone. He would present the new freak to the Director and the Doctors once it was secured in the lab with Ryan. The plan was brilliant, if he said so himself, and his bosses would be incredibly impressed with his proactive attitude. He could practically taste his promotion.
Brand answered the communicator in his quarters. Duncan had insisted he did not have video capability. Brand wished he had a picture of the man but it didn’t matter, “Duncan, I am relieved to hear from you. I was worried you’d changed your mind.”
“No chance of that Brand, I just had to make a stop for some supplies.” Duncan explained.
Brand nodded, “Great, I have your fake credentials. I think they will pass but it would have helped if I could have gotten a picture. We should do this after hours just to limit the chance for exposure. I have confirmed that Ryan hasn’t been moved and the guard contingency is minimal. If you’re with me, they shouldn’t even question our entry into the facility or the labs.”
Duncan agreed. “I should be touching down at the Haven docks in two hours. I’ll meet you then.”
“See you soon. Brand out.” Brand allowed himself a small smile of triumph. It was all going according to plan and the stupid freak didn’t even realize it was a setup.
Brand’s door chimed. He opened it to a team Alliance Planetary Operatives, “Brand Flynn, you are under arrest for conspiring to steal government property.” Special Operative Miller announced as he forced his way into the apartment.
“What?!”
Miller continued, “We have reason to believe that you are planning to free the specimen in Section 13.1. Your activities have been monitored. There is no question of your quilt.” One of the other officers recited a list of additional charges.
Brand stood frozen as the realization of his stupidity hit him, “No, No! You’ve got it wrong. Let me explain it to Doctor Green. He’ll understand” He was shouting and backing away from his accusers.
Operative Miller smirked, “He was the one who filed the complaint.”
“No you don’t understand. I’m positive Ryan isn’t the only regenerator. There are others. His friend is one, I’m sure and I told him to come here.” He clapped his hand over his mouth.
“Grady,” Miller gestured to the officer who had read the list, “add betrayal of government secrets to the charges and then get this weasel out of my sight.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I’m innocent!” Brand screamed. “No! No! I have information useful to the project. Please….please.” His protests dwindled to a whimpering as the officers dragged him away.
Out in the hallway, Miller came to stand with Dr. Green and the program Director, Anderson Crabb. “Yes, that’s him,” Green said as he pointed at the suspect being dragged down the hall.
“We’ll find out what we can about his contact and attempt to intercept him,” Miller assured the Director.
“Do you put any faith in his claim that his contact is another regenerator?” The director asked Green.
“We are convinced he was trying to steal the resource and sell it to another lab,” Green answered than paused before adding, “It is possible the contact was another mutant, but I believe the odds of that are small.”
The Director nodded.
“The messages we intercepted indicated his contact is a smuggler know as Duncan MacLeod.” Miller informed them, “The background check confirmed that he is also a known trader of unusual things. We think he might be the broker. But, there is nothing in his history to suggest he is anything but human”
“Still, when you capture him, we should test his blood,” Green insisted, “We might get lucky.”
“So Miller, do we have an E.T.A. on MacLeod?”
“Yes director, the last message we intercepted said he would be in the Haven dock in two hours but unfortunately we do not know what kind of vehicle he is piloting.
“I assume you will be monitoring all traffic into the Haven docks?” The Director inquired.
Miller confirmed their plans for capturing MacLeod, “…as well as the next two closest docking spaces. We’ll be searching all vehicles and detaining anyone with questionable backgrounds. Don’t worry Sir, we should have him in custody before dinner time.”
The Director turned back to Green, “We should step up security in the facility for the next week just to make sure the asset is safe. And Green?”
“Yes, Sir?”
“This little hiccup does not give you any more time. You’ve had nine months. We expect to see some positive results if you expect the government to renew your funding.”
“Understood, Sir.”
