Captured for Interrogation

Nikolai loaded the bags onto the plane. "What did the director give you that's so important?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"More information, I'm guessing," Alexis said, looking at the folder in puzzlement.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai sat back and waited for her to digest the information.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Nikolai, did you know this?" She asked softly, handing him the sheet. "Look at family."

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai looked it over. "I must be missing something, what is it?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Did you know she is the WIFE of Sergei?" Alexis said. "And guess who her daughter is?" She pointed at the spot.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Well, this should be fun," he said, the sudden realization dawning on him. "How the hell are we going to play this?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis shrugged. "She's your former handler, you're the expert here. I'm just your CIA lackey," she said.

"We can't really use our usual tactic," he said. "Let's set up a meet and see how it goes, a nice, public dinner." He got on the phone and made the arrangements. "Well, Yeltsin isn't exactly happy, but we have a meet."

 

[celestialdragon]

"So, what am I exactly in this?" Alexis asked, having listened to the conversation in rapid Russian.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I don't know, backup, i guess," he said. "She knows who you are from that tape we sent, remember?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Yeah, a very nasty woman," Alexis said, grinning. "I wasn't exactly a sweet little girl there."

 

[bindingeagle]

"We can either convince her we didn't kill her and that her husband hung her out to dry or we can take her out. What do you like?" he asked.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Which would have the least blood?" Alexis asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"The first, I think," he said. "Not sure what will happen after that, but we have her number and we can let them talk, at least."

 

[celestialdragon]

"that's true," she said.

The plane began to land and when it came to a stop, Nikolai stepped out into the familiar Russian cold. "Grab a coat, It's pretty bad," he said, helping Alexis into the car from the icy tarmac.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Jesus, its freezing," Alexis said, grabbing the heaviest coat she could find.

 

[bindingeagle]

"We'll warm up in the hotel room before dinner," he said. "I chose a formal place so we could show off a bit."

 

[celestialdragon]

"I packed hour favorite dress," Alexis teased with a smile.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Is that the one with the corset involved?" he asked, beaming. "I think I'll have to wear a tux then,"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Please do," Alexis purred, winking at him.

 

[bindingeagle]

They got to the hotel and changed, since there was only an hour til dinner. Nikolai showered and changed, then sat down to see how beautiful Alexis would be.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis came out, wearing the purple and black corset dress, her hair in ringlet curls, a hint of makeup on her face, the only true hint being the ruby red lipstick. She wore black boots with heels.

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's amazing," he said. "You'll knock it dead tonight."
