She smirked staring into Ford's eyes the knife sealed against his throat as she stood with him in between her and his team no clear shot from any of them in the statue displays at the museum.
Always with a little pack of minions Ford. Hello Sophie...
Daniella...
Sophie nodded.
Let him go... We are all on the same side here... Making this pig of a trafficker pay... We are not the enemy... Let's work together.
Ford just stood there with her not moving to attempt escape in fact he was also gesturing for Eliot and the others to stand down.
So Ford is Sophie calling the shots or are you? Yes Sophie the pig will be ended but... I'm afraid I can't let you all get him arrested... This slime dies.

Weeks later when the assignment was over Ford had a private meeting with Eliot
Eliot I know you have gotten close to her. I can see the change in you both... For the better I might add. All I am asking is help me help an old friend... Convince her to join the team. She is damn good but...
But she is reckless and with the jobs she takes working solo and reckless can be a deadly combination... I know but you know she is not exactly a team player by her very nature but I will see what I can do.
Ford nodded
That's all I ask.

Ford sat by Sophie and the team talking to the elderly Tibetan couple about getting back at the men who promised to get their granddaughter out of Tibet and safely to them now saying she has to work off the nearly tripled price and immediately Ford recognized the con as a potential human trafficking ring.
We will help your granddaughter and get your money back don't worry.
They thanked him and slowly left.
Sophie.... Why does this reek of Service Grinok and human trafficking?
Ford sat back upstairs in the office as everyone milled around researching.
Well it can't be Service he was killed in Germany two years ago according to this but his entire operation transferred shortly there after to.... Beijing...
Then due to political heat there the main people went mobile... No go entry of origin no real way to try k a home base to attack.
Hardisan chimed in.
Last known member of their command structure being a Chin Zhang.
Elliot perked up at that.
Former Communist Chinese special forces commander. Drummed out for being too violent even for them. Wanted in several countries for assassinations blatent murders and abduction weapons trafficking... A real piece of work.
It says here that there is going to be a celebration at the new Tibetan Buddhist museum tomorrow to celebrate survivors of the occupation and refugees who have become citizens. What better place to catch a human trafficking vermin like these people than a party celebrating those who they exploit.
Well then...
Ford smiled
Let's steal a Gala.
