Search & Rescue.
Lee joins the conversation as Njoku shows off his incredible driving skills to catch up to the kidnapper.
"Looks like they're headed for that warehouse."
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse was Vladimir Petrov, the crime lord that The Armada wanted to bring down. He didn't have a generous reputation & Liberty's life was on a time crunch. They parked the taxi just outside of sight to work up a plan. Njoku handed him a gun as they prepared to move.
"Welcome to your first rescue mission, Tiny." Lee said.
"Here." Njoku handed TIny a tiny earpiece.
"Now we can all talk outside of the car." Lee said clearly into his ear.
The two made their way to where the limo had driven & watched as a group of men tried to restrain Liberty to deliver her to Petrov.
"Put her down." Tiny said as he pointed the gun at the group of men.
"Oh shit! Plan B!" A man shouts as they carry Liberty over to another a car & toss her in. The car immediately speeds off.
"What is it with these guys?" Tiny shouts as he turns around to head to the taxi.
Njoku shoots down each one of the henchmen with his rifle before returning to the taxi. He activates the NOS as they pull up directly to the speeding car only to reveal it's Isaac Frost himself at the wheel.
"Jump into my arms! I'll catch you!"
Liberty was in the backseat of the car & rolled the window down. Isaac Frost reached for her feet as she reached for Tiny's arms. She struggled to break loose but eventually freed herself & jumped from car to car to safety with Njoku & Tiny.
"Tiny! You motherfucker!" Isaac Frost shouted as he rammed the side of his car into theirs.

At that exact moment, Carter joined the chat.
"Vladimir Petrov. This ends now." he said detonated a bomb that completely blew the warehouse up.
--
As Isaac Frost continued to try to attack their car, Tiny had no choice but to fight back one more time. He hung himself outside of the car & fired one directly into Frost's forehead. The warehouse explosion visible as Petrov bit the dust as well.
"Goodnight, sweet prince."
"& damn, Carter! You can't give a head's up before blowing an entire building up?"
Everyone laughed as Njoku replied,
"I told him you went ahead."
"Incredible shot with that gun. Right between the eyes." Carter said.
"How's Liberty?" Lee asked.
She was calm yet petrified after the quick events that had just unfolded. She hurled her arms around Tiny & began to cry hysterically.
"I got you. I won't let anything happen to you." He said as he clutched her.
"Let me hurry & get you guys home, Tiny. She's shaken up.." Njoku said as he looked at them through the rear view mirror.
"I'm signing off guys. But I'm proud to be part of the Armada."
Everyone welcomes Tiny again to the organization as they leave behind a bloody trail of Vladimir Petrov's henchmen, & Tiny's biggest hater, Isaac Frost. Petrov was just the start as he wondered what kind of work could come next with his newfound friends. But in the meantime, it was time to focus on Liberty & explaining everything.

Two Days Later.
"So you can do it all, huh? NBA champion. UFC champion. Secret agent?" Liberty asked him on the couch of his living room.
"That's right." He laced up his Nikes.
"& it's almost basketball season again. Time to get back to work."
She saw his gloves sitting on the table & decided to put them away for him. She brought back his basketball & passed it to him.
"Go get 'em."
He smiled as he was excited for the next chapter in his life. He motioned for her to follow him as they both headed for his private court inside his place.
"..The New Orleans Pelicans scare me! Brandon Ingram. Zion Williamson! DJ Porter! & the #1 pick Morgan Sauce! These boys are going to be a problem.." Stephen A. Smith could be heard in the background on the tv of the gym. He was quite fond of New Orleans' draft selection.
Tiny knocks down a fadeaway jumper as he turns his direction towards the tv in the gym.
"Can't wait."
