Captured for Interrogation

"Well it is Mikhael, so it probably won't be too bad then," he said. "He's good people."

 

[celestialdragon]

She shrugged and made the call. "Hey, Mikhail. I got a favor to ask of you," she confessed, smiling broadly at Nikolai.

 

[bindingeagle]

Mikhael had been playing with his daughter, who was vying for his attention in the background "What can I do for you, my dear?" he asked.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I need you to forge some documents saying that I went and did therapy," Alexis said, smiling as she heard his daughter in the background.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I can do that," he said. "Of course, after i do this, I'll need a favor to be named later. It won't be much, just a thing between friends."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Of course, I figured there would be something like that," she said, pumping her fist into the air happily. "Thank you, you have no idea how much I appreciate this. Oh, I'll also ask this: please keep it from Sergei and Georgia the best you can, I really don't want a lecture from them," she added.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Will do," he said. "I'll have it faxed to you within the hour." Soon all the paperwork was done.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis danced around the apartment with the paperwork. "He's good," she said appreciatively, gazing at them.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Let's call it in. The trail is getting cold as we sit," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis beamed and got on the phone with the Director, faxing over the forged paperwork, smiling as she did so.

"Back in the game, but I'm strictly in a noncombative position," she said, hanging up. "You can do whatever the fuck you want, I'm strictly the brains in this operation."

 

[bindingeagle]

"So you're my handler?" he asked, liking the sound of it. "Do the intel and we can get going."

 

[celestialdragon]

She went over to her laptop and booted everything up. "Jason had yet to install the microchip in her- that's a nonnegotiable part of the contract, he's had a couple kidnapped- but he did put out a rather impressive BOLO. She was last seen coming out of a supermarket about two miles down the road from his main brothel with. . . Hmmm. . . can't make out the substance in the security camera footage. . ."

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai began packing his guns and surveillance equipment. "You can fill me in on what substances Jason keeps on the way to Andrews," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Why are we going to Fort Andrews? I can do most of the intel here. I'm actually starting to enhance the image right now," Alexis said, starting to type things in to do so.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Well I thought you were going to at least support me from the hotel," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I am, but we're not leaving until I have every specific detail on what I think she's up to. I am NOT going into this blind like I did last time," Alexis said. "She's carrying a box of hair dye. No surprise. She's going to try to pull herself off as a redhead. Also in her bag is an extraordinary amount of make up. Ohh, good stuff too," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

"From what you told me, I'd expect her to try and look her best, but i'd also bet she stole some drugs or chemicals as well," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis nodded in agreement. "Well, the BOLO is providing good information," she said. "She came out of a Walmart carrying hydrogen peroxide and some laundry detergent."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Sounds like she has a plan," he said. "Very well, I await your orders."

 

[celestialdragon]

She smiled and continued to file and catalog the information coming in, printing out surveillance photos with enhancements and gnawing on the end of a pencil.

"Great, she has a gun," she groaned after about three hours.

 

[bindingeagle]

"It's only logical," he said. "As long as we know what we're up against."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Umm. . . It looks like it's illegal, serial numbers have been filed off. It looks to be a Ruger, though," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Rugers i can handle," he said. "That's not to say she won't get something else though."

 

[celestialdragon]

She nodded. "Bargaining chip. That's probably what the chemicals are for, too."

 

[bindingeagle]

"I'll leave you to your research then," he said. "Come get me when you;re ready to brief me in full." He sat sown to watch some news.
