Interlude 1
Added 2025-05-25 22:26:05 +0000 UTCTo say things have not gone to plan is something of an understatement.
Cleona is screaming, choking; scrabbling on the concrete walkway. Her weapon lies out of reach, though it's little use to her now. Behind her, Denise lies dead, while Jenny sobs and moans plaintively. They've taken more than a few of the defenders with them. But nowhere near enough.
Cowering beyond the choke-point, the surviving Agents look at each-other in alarm. There's only four of them left- if they're going to storm this last strong-point, they're going to have to overwhelm the defenders with numbers.
They need reinforcements- quick.
Lying out on the walkway, Cleona gives another anguished cry; she's trying to reach around and find where the bullet entered her, trying to staunch the blood with the palm of her hand. She just wants someone to come and drag her those last few metres.
But no-one's coming.
Comments
(Writing from the black-clad agents POV): FSB Agent Aleksandra ("Lenka") Koroleva smiles as she sees the black MI-6 agent she shot (Cleona) went down to the ground. "Another one of them bites the dust" the 25-year old blonde Russian agent says to herself as she inspects the body of a fallen comrade. Unfortunately, Agent Katerina ("Katya") Sergeeva no longer breathes, hence Lenka instantly knows she's dead. "We've lost Katya too!" Lenka curses. Counting herself, she estimates now there are only half a dozen FSB agents on this safehouse left standing. "But there's only four of them so we still have a numerical advantage!" Lenka reloads her semi-automatic pistol. "I better start hunt and kill them off before they called in reinforcement, starting with that wounded bitch!" she aims her pistol toward MI-6 agent Jenny's head, seeking to finish her off. Meanwhile, Agent Nastasya Egorova is beginning to lose consciousness as the 24-year old bleeds out of blood. The raven-haired Russian knows she won't be making out of the safe house alive. As she loses consciousness, Nastasya thought of her family living in St Petersburg and how that they will miss her but also be proud of her service and dedication to the motherland as a FSB agent.
