My phone wakes me up from a deep sleep. I see on my alarm clock it is 4:30am. I unlock it and open the secure texting app.

I go over and open my laptop and log in to the group and can tell that something big is going down as every agent in the network is in the chatroom. The network moderator notices I have logged in and I get a PM almost immediately.
HouseArested: Tap, glad you're here.
TapoutNY: What the hell is going on? Every agent is here.
HouseArested: Not every agent. TD and MoonDog are in trouble.
TapoutNY: This have to do with Miami?
HouseArested: How do you know about Miami?
TapoutNY: I did the emergency grab in Queen last week.
HouseArested: Shit! I was hoping you were clean on this but you're in more trouble than they are right now. The kid was on the no contact list.
TapoutNY: No he wasn't! I triple check that list before I go anywhere. There were no entries in my area at all.
HouseArested: He shouldn't have been in NYC is why. He goes to school in Orlando and grabbed his father's corporate card for a quick shopping trip to Times Square.
TapoutNY: Damn it...You mean he is in BigDog's safety net?
HouseArested: BigDog's nephew to be exact
TapoutNY: Placed yet?
HouseArested: Lucky for you, no. You need to get to the safe house he is at yesterday and give him the reversals. He is still in Queens, but at site 2.
TapoutNY: I'll take the back way out and pray I don't get picked.
HouseArested: Not that easy. I'm already here to stop you.
I leave my laptop as it is and grab my kit. There are three ways out of my apartment and I'm not taking any of them. I put on my workmen's' jumpsuit and a line harness. I hook up the clip to a roll of cable in my balcony store closet that has one end bolted to the wall. I hear a knock on my front door so I jump and let the clip remain open so I fall quickly a few stories before I let it latch and violently stop about 35 feet above the sidewalk. I swing back and forth until I can reach the railing of the balcony in front of me.
