Captured for Interrogation

[celestialdragon]

Alexis's ears perked up. "You know Panda?" she asked, coming over to the door.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Yes," he said, leading the athletic man in. "Like I said, he was our contact to the KGB. I'm on her side, by the way," he said.
"Good to know, I know it's never an ideal meeting when we meet up, Kitten, but we need to get this guy now." he said, speaking to Alexis. Nikolai looked at Alexis at the pet name.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis looked at Nikolai. "He's always called me Kitten. Don't ask me why." She turned back towards Panda. "I know. I caught one of his scum impersonating my copilot on the way here. The scum's dead, by the way."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Good to hear. One less of the bastards." he said. "We've lost track of the financial records of the tong and suspect they've moved it to a secure server."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Can you hack into it? Or are they using proxies?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"We'd have to find it before we checked in on that. It's probably in a shielded room."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis groaned. "I hate Wu San Tel."

 

[bindingeagle]

"We all do, and after we get his data it will be the last time he ever hurts anyone again," Panda said. "He's still using the same base of operations and the guards all know my men."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded. "How long ago did he go to the secure server?" She asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Two weeks," he said "We wanted to expend all our options before bringing you in."

 

[celestialdragon]

"I appreciate that. Continue trying to hack in. Without those financials, we are lost," Alexis said.

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's the problem. We might need someone to find' the server in their building and destroy the cloak before fitting it with a bug to break the firewall."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis frowned. "I barely know my way around servers," she confessed. She looked up at Nikolai. "You got any ideas?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"We could use an ear communicator, or I could go in," he said. "Although a big white guy might give it away."

 

[celestialdragon]

"So would a short white woman," Alexis noted. She looked at Panda. "Do you have any infiltrators left?" she asked him.

 

[bindingeagle]

"No one they don't know on sight," he said. "They are expecting a consultant in a few days though, and we do know her hotel."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis thought, gnawing on her lip. "Could you recruit a woman to impersonate her?" she asked. "I would, but you know how that would work out. Wu San Tel's men would eat me alive.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I think that may be possible," she said. "We need someone to deal with the consultant though."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis shrugged. "I can deal with the consultant if you can find an infiltrator for her, I think," she said, looking up at Nikolai. "What do you say?"

 

[bindingeagle]

"It seems like it will work," he said, "Don't kill her if you don't have to though. She's not a criminal associate."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Hey. I don't kill people for the hell of it," she said. "I won't kill her. I'll just. . . keep her company."

 

[bindingeagle]

Panda wrote the hotel address down for Alexis. "Here you go, why don't you check it out?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Ooohhh, Wu San Tel's not sparing any expense with this consultant. Is he sleeping with her?" She asked, curious. She handed the address to Nikolai. "Panda, I'll need some supplies. The usual."

 

[bindingeagle]

"He might be, or he might have just hired the best," Panda said. "I'll have the knockout gas to you whenever you're ready to actually make the hit."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Thanks, Panda." She looked up at Nikolai. "You need anything?"
