A/N: Hey guys, my name is Maddie and this is my first Intelligence fic! I started watching this show literally two days ago and watched all seven episodes in one day. OH MY GOD. I am addicted. So this story is going to be less fluffy then most (although there will be some fluff – don't worry!) so if you like fluff, there will be more in the later chapters… although this is only my first chapter… so yeah! I hope you like my story and my plot! Please RR or I might not even go past one or two chapters. Please tell me what you think! Thanks guys! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Intelligence or any of the characters except for my plot.
Chapter 1: Only Agent Neal
Agent Riley Neal has seen the worst of it. She has seen blood, guts, death and every horrible thing in between. Riley killed 198 people in her lifetime. Regrets? No. They were all bad people who deserved their fate. Blood was shed, obviously. There have been tears and there have been screams when lives were taken by Riley's own hands, but these deaths usually never affected the woman. Riley was strong and she knew it. The agent had to fight her way to the top to prove who she really was because she was a woman and she was doubted constantly. Riley could not tell you how many missions she was denied to take part in when her leaders said that "she was too weak", or that she was just not "cut out" for the job yet. It. Was. Infuriating. However, it also drove the young agent to become better and if it were not for her setbacks, she would not be where she was today, so she held her head high and took on the days – which, right about now seemed totally and completely not worth it.
"Just hold on-" Riley groaned through clenched teeth.
"Ow, ow… OW!" Gabriel hissed angrily.
"Sorry! Okay new approach, you push up and I will try prying your leg – OW!"
"Ug what!"
"You hit me! Good God just watch where you're throwing your arms around"
"Oh, well I'm sorry that you got hit. That must suck. I can't imagine anything worse."
"Oh shut up…"
Gabriel gave a weak smirk, even though he was in a slightly compromising position: the bottom half of his body stuck underneath a large, broken slab of drywall.
"Alright Neal, I am starting to loose feeling in my legs, lets hurry this up!"
"Tough, if you would just help me out and stop squirming-" Riley grunted as the pair prepared to try to pull Gabriel out from underneath the wall.
Riley and Gabriel were assigned a mission to infiltrate a high school whose principal was actually scheming with terrorists groups around Afghanistan. The supposed administrators in and around the front desk and surrounding areas were really armed guards of the principal and when Gabriel and Riley came in posed as perspective parents touring the school, a guard spotted a gun on Gabriel's hip and alerted the principal of the agents. When the "couple" walked into the principal's office, the man detonated bombs around the office from a safe room, leaving the two in the blast zone, where Riley took cover under a desk, and Gabriel was caught under a falling wall and was trapped, but not badly hurt. The school children were alright and the fake school board tried to cover the explosion up as a pipe leakage.
"Okay on the count of three I need you to try and scoot forwards using your arms as I lift" began Riley.
"Alright but when is the team getting here?" Gabriel wondered aloud.
"I'm not sure, they should be here any minute."
"Wonderful…" Gabriel muttered.
"I will pretend I did not hear that for your own sake." Riley retorted.
Gabriel scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Ha! Please…"
Riley ignored Gabriel's latest remark. "Okay are you ready for me to lift?"
"No…" Gabriel winced.
"Great, alright three, two, one, pull!"
Riley lifted the dry wall with all of her muscle power, and then some.
"COME ON!" Riley yelled as her muscles screamed in protest of the weight.
Just then, Lillian Strand ran in and dragged Gabriel the rest of the way out from under the wall as Dr. Cassidy and Nelson grabbed the other side of the wall and helped lift. Finally, the mildly squished agent was dislodged from underneath the wall, panting.
"You…" Riley began, very short of breath.
"Are gonna… be the… death of me…" Riley swallowed.
Gabriel rolled over on the floor so that his chest was facing up to the hole-filled ceiling.
"Oh… please," Gabriel breathed and smiled.
"Don't flatter yourself."
Riley rolled her eyes, and with a big harrumph, the team was listening to the clack of the agent's black high-heeled boots disappear down the hall.
Gabriel let out a long breath and let his painful head fall back to the floor to look back up at the lack of a ceiling.
