[KSG] Working Vacation by SerialLackey on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"I'm going to check out the security situation on the dock. Think they'll mind if I get close?" Kim asked, hefting her surfboard to the wave's edge.

Sybil guffawed. "Just don't whip out your binoculars and I think you'll be fine."

"Aye-aye! Maybe I'll seduce a guard while I'm over there, get him to loan me the duty roster." Kim hummed.

"As charming as you are, Kimberly, let's not tempt fate. Hmm?" Dakota interrupted sternly, securing a waterproof smartphone to Kim's wrist. "Just don't take too many pictures and you'll be fine. Maybe, like... if they're watching you, try to take a selfie? You think that'd work?"

Sybil clapped! "Yes! Surveillance selfies! Oh-my-god, I'm in love with this idea." She cheered. "Dakota, where do you come up with this stuff?"

"Just try not to get caught." Dakota stated softly. Always encouraging. "Sybil, you stay on the radio. We'll figure out what frequency they're using. These guys are complete amateurs."

"Why do I get all the fun jobs?" Sybil sarcastically asked, grabbing a radio and marching back toward their rental bungalow. "I'll be inside with the air-conditioning if you need me."

Not all stakeouts kept Team 7 stuck in dirty alleys, watching abandoned factory floors and tracking underground shipments through seedy docks guarded by masked men. Sometimes, targets lived on multi-million dollar coastline property. Why put on camo and crawl through the jungle when Blanks could just disguise themselves as vacationers? Dakota happily proposed the idea for approval. Surveillance was important work -- mapping guard schedules, shipment arrivals, grocery deliveries. Their target kept a tight schedule, and with a little probing, they'd find a crack in the security grid. Dakota loved the puzzle. Loved the challenge.

TOP SECRET NOTES:

Just some fun-times with Dakota and the gang! Blank Team 7 gets lots of weird missions. Sometimes they're tracking targets, and those targets live all around the world. Enemies of KHOROS come in all forms, and some of them are absurdly wealthy. While Dakota, Sybil and Kim don't stay in a fancy resort, they do get to take their camper van cross-country for summer vacations spent undercover. Who wouldn't want to spend every day surfing?!
