* BatmanGambit: 20 Squad exploits Novak's unremitting desire to killing Hondo to predict what he will do.
-->'''Hondo''': Street, you said Novak would expect me to take off on my own, so let's give him what he wants.
-->'''Hondo''': Street, you said Novak would expect me to take off on my own, so let's give him what he wants.
-->'''Hondo''': You're supposed to be in prison.
-->'''Arthur''': Money and connections go a long way in Mexico. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero You left me with both]].
-->'''Hondo''': No, I checked on you, you were serving real time!
-->'''Arthur''': ''([[TranquilFury seething]])'' I spent six months in a filthy cell, fighting to stay alive every day, [[OutlivingOnesOffspring mourning my boy every night]], but eventually I got my hands on a phone and from there, access to my accounts. After that, it was just a matter of time until I bought the right people off.

-->'''Hondo''': And you call ''me'' predictable, Novak? I knew there was no way you were gonna leave without your pound of flesh and I also knew about this airstrip. It took some digging, but did you know your boy Pasha used to run drugs out of here? So I figured if you were gonna kill me and bounce, this is where it would be. But that's why my team headed here right after our phone call. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain All they needed to move in was those missing officers]].
-->'''Novak''': Well that's- ''[cue Chris [[ColdSniper shooting Novak in the shoulder]] and the rest of 20 Squad arriving in Black Betty]''
