During the previous three months, Valerie had been working on a movie shoot in California, and Vicente had spent much of his time in New Orleans. At some point they each received an email from Rick notifying them that Enigma required them to leave on a mission on a specific date. JT and Max had already gone on a different mission.
Three newcomers arrived at the Lazy 8 Ranch: Marcus Johnson, a federal agent; Jack Craggs, special ops; and Father Martin O'Sullivan, a Catholic priest. Rick showed them around and answered what questions he could.
Vicente showed up the morning of departure and got acquainted with Jack, Marcus, and Father Martin over breakfast. Valerie made her entrance via parasail. She'd had a job on a movie starring some older guy named Schwarzenegger, and she's a bit perturbed that "the director" is jacking around with her schedule yet again.
Rick has been given very specific driving directions to a city called Gateway, Georgia [in our world, it corresponds to Atlanta]. When we arrive, it will be August, 2014. We're to make contact with Lori Griffin at a Motel 6. Vicente drives the Winnebago (towing a sports car) and Jack drives the Land Rover (towing two motorcycles). The journey takes a couple of days.
Lori Griffin is a strawberry blonde who is in her 20s but looks much younger. She is obviously terrified of something, and Father Martin works to calm her down enough that she can talk coherently. In the room behind her Vicente sees the ghost of a human male clad in bloody robes.
Outside across the street from the Motel 6, Valerie sees a van and a large sedan, both with dark tinted windows. A man (M1) is leaning against the front of the van and staring at the motel. She can tell there's at least one other person in the car and a few more in the van. Valerie murmurs this information into her headset, and Jack, Marcus, and Vicente start running in her direction. Father Marcus stays with Lori, begins preparing a ritual, and encourages Lori to pray with him.
Unnoticed, Valerie climbs to the roof of the van, pulls out her shotgun, and announces loudly, "YOU'RE SURROUNDED! Drop your weapons! Hands in the air!" M1 turns around, gun drawn, and stares up at her for a few seconds. Valerie repeats her warnings, raising her shotgun and aiming at M1's groin. Vehicle doors open, and several armed men emerge.
Jack fires his AR15, killing M2. As soon as M1 aims at Valerie, she fires and he collapses. Vicente, who had teleported behind M3 (informally nicknamed Gymnast), orders the man to drop his weapon. M3 suddenly spins around, intending to cripple Vicente with a hard kick, but Vicente blinks away. M3's momentum causes him to tumble to the ground, but he immediately rolls to his knees; Vicente fires his Glock three times, hitting M3 twice. The ghost moves behind the wheel of the sedan and starts the engine.
M4 drops his gun and flees. M3 sees Marcus approaching and curses; shouting "I surrender!" he drops his shotgun and kisses the ground. Vicente reaches for the handle of the rear driver's side door of the sedan. Marcus jogs over to M3 and offers him the choice, "Easy or hard?" "Easy," replies M3, and Marcus zip-ties him.
The ghost shifts the car into drive and a man in the back seat (M5) slams down the lock on the door Vicente is trying to open. Vicente opens the driver's door and slides behind the wheel. M5's jaw drops, the ghost seems "shaken up," and Vicente stops the car and puts the gear in park.
Jack, aiming at M4, calls out "I got sights on the runner." "Put him down," Vicente tells Jack, who fires once and kills M4.
Vicente says to M5, "Get out. If you try to run, I'll kill you. And whose ghost am I sitting in?" The ghost leaves the car and walks away, darkness swirling about him. Vicente tells M5, "You're going to tell me about him." Valerie checks on M1, but his wounds were fatal; she searches him quickly and takes his wallet which contains his ID.
Knowing the police will be arriving in response to shots fired, the group quickly gets away. Lori identifies one of their captives as Mr. Everett.
