Argentina,Brazil.

2023

no ones pov 

It was warm night in Brazil and the streets were busy. Food vendors,loud music and citizens having a good time.

But somewhere in a shabby warehouse,something was brewing.

"¡Oi! ¡Deja de jugar y coloca tus cartas!" 

("Oi! Stop playing around and place your cards!")

"No me apresures viejo, yo sé jugar"

("Don't rush me old man,I know how to play")

"¡Este chico! ¡Rio! Nunca cambias, ¿de acuerdo?"

("This boy! Rio! Never change okay?")

Rio gave of a sly smile. The 20 year old member sat at a on-going card game in a random warehouse. But it just wasn't some "random warehouse" it was the hideout of one out of two other Phantasm clan's. On the outside it looked like a hot spot for..unusual activity. But in the deep depths,it told another story.

"¿Este as me salvaría?" He said slamming down his ace of spades.

("Would this ace save me?")

The group around him sucked their teeth as Rio won...again but the small victory had to be cut short.

Rio or Ghost (He didn't mind what you call him)  joined the clan at the young age of 18. He was once a realtor,but he felt like his work could be appreciated a bit more. So that's why his position in the Phantasm clan is location and distribution. Aside from his main work,he does know how to work in the science lab. He has some skill with different elixirs and substances.

"¡Rio! ¡La jefa quiere hablar contigo en tu oficina!"

("Rio! Boss lady wants to speak with you in your office")

Rio stood up from the table excusing themselves and walking down to mainland. When the secondary division of the Phantasm clan was being built. They made a underground system,probably related to action movie. Different labs,training spots and different projects happening. And to top it off the giant monitor that show the first division of the Phantasm clan. The leader herself....

Rio entered his private room,it looked like to be a modern day upscale apartment. They then sat down and opened the monitor on his desk,the that cheerful voice rang through his head.

"¡Cuánto tiempo sin verte! ¿Cómo has estado Rio?" The leader herself said happily.

("Long time no see! How've you been Rio?")

"Aburrido. A ese chico con el que estaba trabajando en Nueva York le allanaron su casa por parte de la policía de Nueva York y no obtuve ninguna información de ellos. ¡CERO!" Rio said leaned back in his chair.

("Bored. That kid I was working with in New York got his place raided by the NYPD and I gotten zero intel from them. ZERO!")

"¡No te arrugues las bragas! ¡He estado preparando una misión especial para ti~!" She said all giddy.

("Don't get your panties in a twist! I have been preparing a special mission for you~!")

A side smile went across Rio's face. "¡Ahora estamos hablando! ¡Dímelo directamente!" He said getting excited.

("Now we're talking! Give it to me straight!")

The boss lady leaned up to up the screen with a smile. "En un par de días, viajarás a Nueva York desde Brasil con una nueva identidad. Hasta entonces, ya no serás Rio o Ghost. Tu nuevo nombre es Desmond Macintosh. Quiero que trabajes para la policía de Nueva York. y obtén tanta información como puedas. ¿Entendido?" Boss lady explained.

("In a couple of days,you'll be traveling to New York from Brazil underneath a new identity. Until then you will no longer be Rio or Ghost. You're new name is Desmond Macintosh. I want you to work for the NYPD and get as much information as you can. Got it?")

Rio shook his head and his boss signed off.

"Tch! New york city...what a bunch of fools..."

New York city.

"So how was Date? Did you both hit it off?" (F•N) said repeatedly asking Amy.

"(F•N)! The went fine." Amy said leaving the printing room.

"Just fine?! Come on! Tell me the details!" (F•N) said walking with Amy.

"We went to Shaw's,had a couple of drinks and that's it!" Amy said sitting at her desk.

"Did he...you know~" (F•N) pervertly asked.

"I sadly do know..." Amy said sighing.

"What about that double tuck?" Rosa asked.

"What double tuck?" (F•N) said her curiosity growing.

"Rosa..." Amy said frustrated.

"When Amy likes someone she'll tuck her hair in. I've seen it." Rosa explained.

"Wow,such a Amy Santiago move. I can really see you doing that!"(F•N) said.

"Both of you– Forget it! Go bother Captain Holt or something." Amy said fanning them away.

"Actually I need all of you real quickly. We need a new a tech support in the 9-9 precinct. Our tech support unfortunately retired." Holt said walking back to his office.

The girls followed him and saw a mild stack of papers. "I want you three to look throughout these applications and see which one is the best for our department." Holt instructed.

"Cool more virgins." Rosa said sitting down.

"Not all of guys or girls are virgins! Take this guy!" (F•N) said grabbing the first piece of paper.

"Ronnie Whillhimer,35,graduated with associates! and...proud cat dad– " (F•N) said her voice trailing off.

"You know what! He's likes cats and that's nothing wrong." (F•N) said.

"Virgin~" Rosa said to (F•N) jokingly.

"Shut it." (F•N) said angrily.

The girls and Holt went through multiple interviewers forms but they couldn't find a good match.

"Okay so far we have,3 ex-convicts,MULTIPLE pet parents and many more...good god,do we have anyone that looks mentally okay?" (F•N) said flipping throughout papers.

"There is this one guy, Desmond Macintosh. He's 20 years old and a retired realtor and British!" Amy said showing the paper to Holt.

"He doesn't look to bad,I'll look him up later." Holt said.

"Listen,this may sound a little weird. Are we sure we can trust this guy?" Rosa said.

"What's wrong with him? He's looks okay to me!" (F•N) said.

"What if he's a spy? you never know what the Phantasm clan is brewing up." Rosa said.

"That's true. Oliver said there is many other operations around the world. But we haven't heard anything from them yet...guess they're scared straight of the 9‐9" (F•N) said leaning back.

"Dont worry,I'll make sure that I'll heavily look into Desmond. You may continuing working." Holt said excusing the girls.

"All I heard was "Why is Amy Santiago avoiding my questions and what is the double tuck?" "  (F•N) said for some girl gossip.

"Everyone girl tucks their hair  when they like someone! I don't!" Amy said.

"Because you're not like "Other girl's?" " Rosa jokingly said.

Amy stomped away while Rosa and (F•N) had a small laughing session.

Jake watched from afar as Amy sat down at her desk. He liked to poke fun at her at times,it was nice for the both of them and sure it was adorable to–

What? Jake shook his head and went back to work but why was he thinking that?

Argentina,Brazil. – Rio's departure.

Rio was packing in his room. Today was the day that he left Brazil and venture to New York.

Rio had expertise in language although he can speak Spanish,he also could speak English and Russian but it wasn't that fluent.

He looked at the mission statement sent by the boss lady. A small jolt of annoyance flushed over him. He had a reason to be disgusted with New York. 

Betrayal,abandonment,defeat.

He wanted New Year to crumble into pieces so this mission was fun. It was a twisted thought but it made him chuckle.

"¡Yo! El taxi está aquí para ti". Said one of his cohorts. 

("Yo! The taxi is here for you.")

Rio walked out with his luggage ready for this mission.

"¿Tienes todo preparado?" Rio said asking one of his workers.

("You have everything prepared?") 

"Sí, señor." They responded.

("Yes,sir.")

"Cuando llegue el momento, te llamaré y ESTARÉ PREPARADO". Rio said holding a small device,he slammed the device into the worker hands.

("When the time comes,I will page you and BE PREPARED.")

The worker shook his head as Rio walked off. Rio got into the taxi and drove away from the "warehouse" 

"Entonces, ¿hacia dónde te diriges?" Asked the taxi driver.

("So, where are you heading?")

"Nueva York. Motivos personales" Rio responded not wanting to talk.

(New York. Personal reasons.")

Oh yeah,It was "Personal" all right...

New York city ,a few days later.

The 9-9 were in the briefing room waiting for Captain Holt arrival and it appears that someone else was waiting for him as well.

"So,whose the guy?" (F•N) asked Terry.

"I'm not sure. He was already here when I came earlier this morning. Dont know his name." Terry said.

He was a tall male,with a buzz cut and a small beard. He wore a flannel jacket with black jeans and a white shirt with Adidas shoes.

"Good morning 9-9. We much to discuss. But before we do that,I have a new member to our team."  Captain Holt announced.

The male got up awkwardly and stood next to Captain Holt and was visibly taller then him.

"This is Desmond Macintosh,our tech support for the precinct." Holt introduced him

"Ello,9-9. Nice to meet you all." Desmond said shyly.

"If you have any questions about technical stuff,he's our man." Holt said.

"Oh.My.God..." (F•N) said internally.
