Chapter Four - Scramble at Imst
--------------------------- -------- ------


Talia's heart was now thumping hard into her ears as her palms were beginning to sweat due to the tension. She was already used to the awkward feeling. That awkward feeling that beclouds an agent whose cover was about to be blown in the line of duty. She was certain if anything went wrong with the whole mission, it was going to paint a bad picture about the Mossad, and might make the other Intelligence agencies around the world suspect her country for espionage, thereby complicating issues and worsening the trust issues within the Alliance of Nations. Moreover it could make it impossible for the mysteries at hand to be unravelled if Duncan found out he was being monitored. He would definitely cover his tracks meticulously. This was not what Tel Aviv would like to hear at the moment as she stood on her feet contemplating on whether to abandon the boys or not. She had warned them earlier but the stubborn Somto wouldn't budge to her warnings. One thing was certain, and that was the fact that they could have been caught already. What was her fate now? she thought within.

Moments later,she saw Agent Duncan and Director Hans Stubber coming out of the elevator and walking to where she stood. For a moment, she felt petrified by the serious look on the faces of the two men who were approaching her that she didn't know whether to escape or stand her ground; since Somto and Saul must have been caught. Then she took two calculated steps backwards and Agent Duncan's hand moved into his jacket (she believed he was bringing out a gun) as she made to dive for cover, when Duncan's hand came out from his jacket holding the little handset in the air.

"I think it's faulty", he said smiling faintly at Talia who was bamboozled by what had just happened, and she heaved a sigh of relief. For a second, she thought events were about going ballistic.Then Hans and Duncan came to take their seats once more before her.

From what Agent Duncan told her, he found no one in his room when he went to the 11th floor, making him believe the transmitter must have gone beserk. But what puzzled Talia was the whereabouts of Somto and Saul at that moment. And how they had managed to beat Duncan to the game on a clean slate, despite being close to apprehension. Truly Agent Somto was one of the finest agents in the world, and she smiled to herself.

"Why the big smile?" asked Hans.

"Nothing serious sir", replied Talia.

As they talked, she hovered her eyes round the lobby in search of her two friends while she bade her time to leave the two C.I.A men. Within a matter of minutes, they noticed two funny looking cleaner guys walk passed them and she thought she could recognize one of them, while Duncan said something funny about the two guys and they all laughed as Talia feigned interest in what he had said. It was now 2:00am in the early hours of the morning when Talia decided to leave the company of the two men. It had been to no avail waiting for any sign of Somto and Saul. So she decided to go back to the Safe House at least to know her next line of action. She was already close to the Safe House when her cellphone rang. She looked at the screen to notice a strange number, and she answered.

"Hello", she said.

"Hey Talia", the familiar voice sounded.

"Agent Somto?"

"Yeah....we're back at the safe house".

"But how....Oh my God, you got me worried".

"Just get back home", Somto said and dropped the phone. Quickly, Talia sped on the highway with a glimmer of hope on her face.


She arrived the slums and stashed the car somewhere not too far from the Safe House inorder to prevent being traced. Now the Safe House was more of a control centre with the presence of Saul. It would be ghastly if the house was breached and that would be tantamount to loosing delicate intel to whoever that might have intruded. Moreover she needed to be careful now that Duncan was suspected to be a mole. With each step she took, she looked over her shoulders at intervals to ensure she wasn't being followed. On getting to the apartment door, she rapped on it before she heard a pistol cock from inside the house.

"Who's there?" came Somto's voice.

"It's Talia", the she replied.

Somto was too good an agent to be deceived by a familiar voice. There was every possibility that an intruder could use a voice simulator to gain unauthorized access into the Safe House. In all his years as a secret agent, he had seen a lot of things, and anything was possible in modern day espionage. So he asked: "What was my code name in the last mission we undertook?"

"Oh come off it Somto", whined Talia. "Don't be rediculous...it's me"

"The code name please", Somto growled impatiently, pointing his gun at the door.

"Okay...that's code name Ghost", repied Talia. And there was a momentary silence before she heard the door lock turn as the door swung open with Somto standing by the way with his Magnum pistol clutched in his hand; and she stepped in.

"What was that all about?", questioned Talia.

"Security measures", replied Somto "You know the drill" as Talia walked passed him going to place her jacket on the couch.

"So tell me...how did you evade Duncan back at the hotel?" she queried.

Somto began by telling her how he had manged to buy Saul some more time to complete the cloning process by getting hold of a pair of cleaners' clothings from the janitor's room which was fortunately on the same floor where Duncan's room was located. While Saul had been busy with the cloning process, Somto had given him one of the cleaners' uniforms to wear (inorder to alter his identity) incase the housekeeper lady awoke. While he, Somto, disguised as a cleaner guy, covered his face with a baseball cap and his sunglasses before hurrying down the corridor with a trolley. From beneath the bill of his cap, he saw Duncan coming in the opposite direction, fuming and cursing as the CIA boss hastened behind him. So Somto pushed the trolley directly towards the cursing Duncan, bumping into him as a bucket of water under the trolley spilled onto his shoes and stockings, and Duncan yelled in anger.

"Watch it, you jerk!" he screamed. "Just take a look at my shoes". And Director Hans Stubber tried to calm him down.

Somto, still playing the cleaner role, bent down to clean Duncan's shoes with a towel and ended up making a mess as Duncan jerked his leg away screaming "Fück off!' By then some time had elapsed and Somto was sure Saul would have been through with the cloning process and would have also left Duncan's room. So he apologized and rolled the trolley ahead so he could catchup with Saul in the basement. That was when Talia remembered the two funny looking cleaner guys that had walked passed them back at the hotel lobby.

"Wow! That was brilliant", she cooed. "I suspected that was you guys back there. For a moment I thought you both had been caught".

Then she excused herself to go check on what Saul was up to at the control monitors and saw him running through the anti-hack system of the cloned phone. The phone which was now a duplicate of Duncan's was protected with some sort of encrypted security which would make it impossible to fully gain access to all of Duncan's phone conversations. Though the phone was already cloned and would serve its purpose, the encrypted security system kept taking different forms at intervals by causing a jamming of waves being transmitted by the other phone in Duncan's possession. So Saul decided to decrypt the security firewall of Duncan's phone, hoping he wouldn't notice at all or too soon.

Two days later, Talia and Somto concluded all necessary preparations to leave for the town of Imst in Tirol. It was time to bring in the Krypto Capsules Somto had left with the old man after escaping from the Facility. Bringing back the bio-chemical weapons was not just a task they would venture into without proper planning. Every form of security measure was to be applied in successfuly transporting the highly prized capsules to the point of extraction. So they had to put all logistics in place, ranging from ammunition to money and other supplies which would come in handy. That same day's evening, Talia had got a message concerning the arrival of some ammo and gadgets, from Tel Aviv in the company of a Mossad agent. So she had gone out alone to clear the package at a close by private airstrip belonging to a Mossad asset, while Somto secured the Safe House. She had also gone out without the car inorder not to raise unnecessary suspicion or alert any stalker. But on her way back, hanging a black paraphernalia bag containing all the package and gadgets, she noticed the road which was some distance away from the slums had become lonely unlike other days. The street lights were twitching as usual, casting momentary shadows by the street corners as she kept walking ahead and looking over her shoulders from time to time to ensure she wasn't being followed. Unexpectedly, she saw the silhouette of a figure move in the shadows some distance in front and she clutched her weapon in alert, now taking calculated steps as she walked. Shockingly, she heard a hoarse voice from behind.

"Stop!...don't move".

Talia hesitated in her steps a little, then turned back but saw no one. She was certain whoever it was that had spoken, was hiding within the shadows behind her. And the voice came again, "Don't even think of pulling your trigger. You're out numbered". In that instant, more footsteps were heard from the shadows beside her as dark figures emerged into the blinking light, walking towards her. Then the owner of the hoarse voice finally came out of hiding as Talia turned to see the figure of a man clad in a bowler hat and an overcoat. The man in the bowler hat pointed his gun at her.

"Drop your weapon and hand over whatever is in the bag", the man said in an authoritarian voice. He seemed to be the leader

Talia let her pistol fall off her hand, clattering on the cobblestones. But she held on tight to the bag's strap on her shoulder. Immediately, the other men noticed her defiance and cocked their pistols.

She could've just slipped out of the situation easily based on her training and skills, but she didn't know if there were more of them hiding within the shadows. Moreover she was outnumbered. Being unarmed at that moment was a critical disadvantage. So she stood unmoved, her heart racing fast as the other men began to step closer.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Talia could see the other figure she had seen earlier, in the shadows in front, move slowly. She wondered who it could be, noticing that even the men hadn’t noticed the figure move. Then the leader of the men cocked his gun, stepping forward as he aimed to shoot her. Sensing this was the end of the road for her, Talia felt her heart skip beats instantly in acceptance of her ill fate as she awaited the bullet of her assailant. And she gently shut her eyes in the helplessness of her last moment. Then the shot rang out, casting a sudden darkness.

*** 2 hours ago ***


Minutes after Talia had left the Safe House that evening, Somto followed her discreetly, taking note of the places she stopped and people she talked to. He wasn't doubting her loyalty and neither was he suspecting her either. But he had the sudden intuition to follow her to the local airfield mainly for her protection. On reaching the airstrip, he hid behind a stack of wooden crates to watch Talia discuss with the Mossad agent delivering the package. Then he saw her collect the black bag from the stocky agent. But some metres away from the stack of crates where he hid, Somto noticed a group of men discreetly watching the two Mossad agents from the inside of a hangar, and his interest fell on them instantly. Minutes later, he noticed the men walk out of the hangar into their car. As soon as Talia flagged down a taxi and drove off, the men's car followed behind. Quickly, Somto stole into a car parked by the entrance of the airfield and drove after them without risking exposing himself. On getting close to the slums, Talia alighted from the taxi but the men drove ahead. They were probably going to cut her off infront; so Somto drove ahead too, trailing the men till they stopped a few distance to the slums and he ended up stopping some metres away from where they had stopped.

From where he hid in the shadows, he saw the men step into the darkness bordering the street as they waited in ambush for Talia. In no time, Somto could make out Talia's silhouette approaching the faintly luminated street and he came out his hiding place, running across the opposite end of street to a place more concealing. He noticed Talia slow her pace and move for her gun the moment he crossed the road, and he knew she had seen his figure move in the shadows. Then he watched as two of the men from the airfield approached her from each side as another man in a bowler hat who he made out as their leader, came from behind her, forcing her to drop her weapon. When the man in the bowler hat pointed his gun at Talia and was ready to kill her, Somto aimed right for the man's forehead before taking counts and shot him point blank in the faint light.




The man in the bowler hat dropped dead instantly and Talia seized the opportunity to move for her weapon, tactically rolling on the ground and picking up her gun as she took quick shots at the other two men who were still startled by the sudden shot from Somto. They fell down instantly, except for one who only went down on his knees, gurgling blood from his mouth as his feeble hands rose slowly to shoot at Talia who shot a bullet through his head, splattering his brain matter about the ground. Just in that moment, Talia lifted her eyes to see a familiar figure approaching her in the opposite direction (she held the trigger of her gun). As the figure advanced closer, she rasped, "Agent Somto!" while Somto came to stand before her.

"You took that shot", Talia said with awe. "And...what're you doing here?"

"I followed you all the way", replied Somto. "Even to the airstrip", and Talia's face creased.

"Do you doubt my loyalty?" she asked

"No Agent Talia... don't get me wrong", Somto explained. "I felt someone had to watch your back and I guess it paid off", he said indicating at the lifeless bodies on the ground. Then he moved to squat close to the dead man in the bowler hat, peering into his face. His bowler hat had been tossed far away in the night wind.

"These men followed you right from the airstrip", said Somto.

"Really? Who could they be?" Talia asked. "Duncan's men?"

"That's what we have to find out", replied Somto. "We have to search them, then leave this place as soon as possible".

"Why would Duncan send these men? Probably he suspects we're on his tail".

"You never can tell till you get the answers", stated Somto.

He shone the light from his phone's screen on the man's face, searching his breast pocket to bring out a card which read 'Günthers Casino'. And he peered closely at the man with a keen look on his face, turning the man's head from side to side.

"Can you I.D him?" Talia inquired.

Somto nodded his head. "These men are the Mob", he stated still examining the dead man. "I remember seeing this one's face around the casino, opposite the Cafe house where we had the meeting with Duncan and the director of the C.I.A", he said. "He was involved in a street brawl that night...quite a cocky guy you can say. And I believe that Casino is a meeting point for the Mob in this city".

The two agents stared at each other with the same thoughts in mind. They wondered how the guys had known she would be at the airfield that evening. And was it a coincidence the cocky mob guy was at the same proximity with Duncan the last time they saw the C.I.A agent?

"I really don't know what to think", heaved Somto

"I think we should leave now", Talia warned, noticing a number of local women approaching the street with tungsten lamps in their hands.

Hurriedly, the duo left the scene and hastened down the road as moments later, they heard the women scream behind them on sighting the dead bodies.

Re: EREBUS -The Evil At Heart (Spy Thriller) by goodheart02(m): 7:50am On Jul 19, 2017
Following the incident that had happened that night, Somto and Talia decided they would follow the trail of the mob to the casino, in a bid to find out who was behind the attack. They were very certain the men had acted under instructions to kill Talia. And what bothered them most was the safety of the Safe House. There was the possibility that the men had discovered its location, which made killing them all the only option to retain its discretion....the more reason they needed to know who had sent them. Desperate times call for swift measures. But at that moment, the journey to Imst was more important than chasing after any mafia group.

Morning had came on a sudden note and the two agents prepped themselves for the risky journey to Imst as Talia put a call through to the Mossad headquarters informing them to provide a proper exfil incase they were tailed and things went messy. And the extraction point in such a situation was to be Tarrenz. But in the absence of any hostilities, Somto and Talia were to meet up with some Mossad and CIA agents who were to arrive the Israeli consulate, where they would take off with the capsules back to the Alliance of Nation's H.Q, while the two agents will return to the field to find the killer or killers of the Swede president. It was necessary they did the latter because the Swede Parliament had already declared interest for Sweden to join China and Russia in aiding the North Koreans override the south. Sweden was a strong economic force in the Trident Power, and its financial capabilities was a necessary asset to the Chinese and Russians who won't stop at anything to exploit them to the fullest. Pulling Sweden out of the Trident alliance was the only way of crippling the Trident Power. And there was no other way of pulling Sweden out other than by proving America's innocence (if they were truly innocent) as that would make Sweden restrore her diplomatic relations with the U.S, and return to the Alliance of Nations.

It was by 7:30am when Somto and Talia arrived Wien Westbahnhof train station. They walked through the entrance of the busy station, fighting their way through the teeming crowd of travellers as they purchased their tickets to one of the speed trains. Within Talia's grasp was a bag containing all effect partaining to the mission. Travelling by rail was considered safer for them to cut the chances of being followed. They were now walking towards the platform when Somto caught a glimpse of a familiar person in the midst of the crowd opposite them, right across where they stood. But before he could take a proper look at the individual, a train came whooshing passed in between him and the crowd, hampering his vision for some seconds, before chortling away as the crowd came into view once more. And Somto searched the crowd frantically with his eyes, for the familiar figure, but the person was gone. Talia noticed his sudden apprehension and asked: "Are you okay?". Somto nodded slowly, still roaming his eyes around.

"I think I just saw Sasha", he finally said. "Sasha Romanov".

"Did you?" inquired Talia, looking around.

"I'm not so sure", mumbled Somto. "One minute she was there (he pointed to the crowd) and the next she was gone".

Talia roamed her eyes around in sudden alert. If Somto said he had seen Sasha, then there was the possibility of it being true. The female assassin was good in tailing anyone unnoticed. A skill she had imbibed from her days in the G.R.U before going rogue; and that was why Cristo made use of her services. Strutting quickly, the two agents stepped into a train and took their sits next to each other, with Talia seating next to the window, and bringing out a minicomputer which she placed on her laps. Then Somto excused himself and left with the intention of searching every compartment of the train. Having been satisfied that Sasha hadn't boarded the train, he came back minutes later to seat beside Talia.

"What's the situation?"asked Talia.

"Negative...she's not aboard", replied Somto, quelling their fears.

The train jerked and slowly began to accelerate. It was bound to be a 5 hours journey to the alpine region of Imst in the province of Tirol. They were barely some distance away from Wien Westbahnhof train station when Talia's cellphone rang, and she answered.

"Miss Abendana", Saul said from the other end of the call.

"Hey Saul", she replied."All good?"

"Yeah...i just sent you some fresh Intel on the computer", Saul said. "Check it out".

"Thanks Saul...always keep us posted", and Talia ended the call.

Just as the call ended, there was a beeping sound from the laptop resting on Talia's thighs; and Somto turned to watch her open it as some info appeared sequencially on the screen, alongside an attached file. Talia clicked on the attached file and a picture graced the screen with a chirping sound. There were two men in the picture shaking hands in an airport, surrounded by bodyguards. One of the men was Frank Cristo.

"Who's the other guy on a dark shades shaking hands with Cristo?" asked Somto.

"That's Filip Ludvig", replied Talia. "Leader of the New Norse Movement. I believe Saul had to hack into the FBI archives to get this picture. The FBI has been on Ludvig's case for a long time. He's a terrorist. And has been behind the NNM's hostilities towards the citizens of member countries of the Alliance of Nations".

"This can only mean one thing", suggested Somto "judging from Ludvig's last threat video to the U.S government".

"He aims at buying the Krypto Capsules from Cristo to carry out his threat", Talia added. "And from what is contained in this intel, he was last seen in Germany in the company of Cristo a week ago".

Then Somto's eyes fell on another man with a scar on his face in the picture, standing next to Ludvig, and he asked. "Who's the other guy?"

"That's Kazim Abdela, Ludvig's second in command", stated Tallia. "A Swedish born convert of Islam", and Somto heaved deeply.

"We have to make sure those capsules never get into the wrong hands", Talia said. "Even if we have to die trying"

At that instant another intel appeared on the screen and Talia smiled. "Saul is really at it", she muttered. Then her face creased on reading the information.

"Oh my God!" she gasped. "The Swede's have joined the Russians and Chinese to aid North Korea take the DMZ", reported Talia.

"I think the Swedes are doing all these to spite the West and Uncle Sam", fumed Somto. "With North Korea's campaign towards the DMZ, I believe they would soon strike the South, despite American military presence around the area".

"And the United States isn't gonna sit and watch South Korea burn", added Talia. "They'll surely retaliate"

"Thereby leading to a full scale war", said Somto. "A third world war, once the U.S strike back at the Trident Power for assisting the North Koreans".

Then Talia closed the minicomputer, putting it away. They kept mute for a while before she said. "We only have one way to prevent this impending war (and Somto stared at her intently). We have to prove America's innocence and make Sweden friends with them again. Once Sweden leaves the Russians and Chinese, the Trident Power will crumble and become powerless to wage North Korea's dirty war". Somto adjusted in his seat uneasily, "I just hope the U.S is innocent of the accusations", he mumbled, looking away from Talia.

No bro, This one here is Sasha and not Natasha. And the black widow stuff is not a super hero name for Sasha. It's a name she earned from her method of executing missions during her days in the GRU

About four hours and fifty three mintutes later, they approached the Tirol province; and they could now see a part of the Via Claudia, far beyond the Alpine crags as the train sped for Imst. Moments later they made a final stop at the Imst-Pitztal station before alighting from the train. Based on the complexity of the mission, they decided to go for the Capsules by dusk, inorder to use the slight darkness as a cover, for fear of leaving a trail. So they made it to Imst and stayed at a low profile motel for a while as they waited for sunset.

The streets of Imst were filled with people and tourists when they finally stepped out that evening. It was the annual Fasching festival usually celebrated by the vivacious town of Imst to mark the coming of the early springs, just after the winter's cold. The duo kept pushing through the crowded streets which was packed with masked and costumed enthusiastic residents who meandered through the town's winding alleys as they participated with gusto in the exciting ceremony. Within the clamoring crowd, Somto and Talia pressed their way through as they fought to beat the strength of the enthusiastic crowd marching towards them in the opposite direction while they sang and chanted. Wearing a bomber jacket, Somto had his two Barreta pistols tucked in a gun belt around his torso, while Talia did the same, also wearing a jacket and carrying a monostrap containing a Tar 21 assault rifle (typical Israeli made) on her shoulder. On getting to a square, they did all they could to avoid the local Police that was stationed within the crowd for the purpose of security. But an onlooking policeman noticed the strange black bag on Talia's shoulder from afar and began to advance behind them with his unwavering gaze fixed on them suspiciously. Based on security measures relating to bomb alerts, the cop hoped to have a look at what was in the bag so he began to follow them. Instinctively, Talia looked over her shoulders to see the cop closing on them with his unwavering eys fixed in their direction. Then she muttered to Somto, "There's a cop behind us", and Somto turned back to notice the policeman advancing through the teeming crowd as their eyes met. Instantly, Somto hurried frantically through the crowd followed by Talia, and the cop now becoming suspicious, began to speak into his receiver. The two agents couldn't risk being caught armed with guns because that would blow their mission and alert any impending stalker concerning their presence in Imst. So they focused on eluding the cop at that moment.
Seconds after the cop spoke into his receiver, Somto noticed more policemen coming from the flanks and in the opposite direction, heading towards them. They were strategically trying to close in the two agents in a trap as they (Somto and Talia) looked around for escape routes, noticing that the cop behind was still pushing through, and planning to cut off their escape incase they decided to retreat. An escape at that moment was dire; and there was only one way out. As a means of saving their heads, Somto pulled out his pistol and fired two shots in the air, sending everyone within the crowd scampering for safety as screams rented the air. Taking advantage of the sudden pandemonium, Somto and Talia tried to evade the policemen who were now hastening towards them as the beserk crowd ran amock, colliding with the cops and hampering their movement. In that instant, Somto pulled Talia towards the west wing of the square and they slipped through the crowd, dashing into a dark alley which was absent of human presence and ran for long till they could barely hear the screams of the frenzied crowd behind. Then Talia checked her luminescent watch. Itwas 6:30pm. Making it out of the dark alley, they flagged down a taxi and hurriedly got in.

"Klausenburg road", Somto told the driver and the cab screeched away into the humid evening. Never did they notice a figure in the shadows watching them drive away.




Klausenburg road was a short route to the cottage village close to the foot of the mountains. They arrived there in no time, paid off the cab driver, and Somto led the way as they headed to the old man's cottage where he had left the emerald colored biochemical weapons. They passed through a less dense part of the woods, walking passed the skeleton of a bear and Somto instantly recollected how he had killed the wild beast when it had attacked him. Soon they were now unto a clearing and could vivdly see the lights from the small windows of the cottages as they parsely stoodby each other. Then Somto pointed to a brown cabin on the plains not to far from where they stood.

"That's Gerald's cabin", he said. "The old man in whose care i had left the capsules".

"Do you think he still has it?" asked Talia. And Somto turned to look at her, and she shrugged. "I mean if you can really trust this man".

"Gerald is American....a patroit as well and a typical hillbilly. I stayed with his daughter and her husband after my training at Fort Bragg", replied Somto. "I've known him for a long time for him to be a back stabber". And Talia nodded in hesitated comprehension. They then walked into the village setting, looking over their shoulders momentarily for fear of being followed, till they came before the old man's door. They knocked on the mahoghany door severally before they heard a croaky voice speak from inside.

"Who's that at my door?" the old man said in a husky southern U.S accent. "For your information I'm armed (and there was the c0ck of a rifle) incase you're up to any mischief".

"Gerald it's me", replied Somto. "It's Mr. Thomas".

There were shuffling of footsteps from inside the house, before the door locked clicked; and they heard the old man say, "You can come in". And the two agents cautiously opened the door, stepping through the doorway to see the grumpy old man pointing a sliver Winchester at them. They walked in with their hands behind their heads.

"Easy now oldie", mumbled Somto. And the old man looked over Somto's shoulder to see the auburn haired woman with him.

"Who's she?" asked Gerald.

"A friendly", replied Somto, smiling as Talia came out from behind him (still with their hands behind their heads) to the the full view of the old man.

"We're alone, Gerald", said Somto. "And we're not under duress. No guns to our heads".

Then Gerald slowly brought down his rifle and stepped forward to give Somto a bear hug. "You bad son of a bîtch", he croaked. "What happened? Never heard from you after then".

"Yeah...it's a long strory", replied Somto.

"Then you better start spilling it out", suggested Gerald, beckoning them to a seat beside the dusty fire place as he leaned his gun on the wall.

"Meet my Mossad partner", Somto introduced Talia to the old man. "And Talia, meet old Gerald".

The old man stepped forward to shake hands with Talia, looking into her eyes studiously as he gave her a faint smile which revealed not much of a set of teeth."You're welcome dear", he said. Then Somto asked: "What was all that drama with the gun?" Gerald laughed shaking his head, and replied: "Eversince you left those greeny-greenish things in my care, i have been very careful", he then took a seat opposite them. "Don't want them marauders barging in on me", he concluded.

"Marauders?" asked Somto suspiciously

"Yes...." the old Gerald replied, pouring out a glass of rum which he offered to them but they declined. Then he continued: "Two days after you left those greeny-greenish things with me, some strange looking men who claimed to be CIA, combed the neighbourhood asking suspicious questions about some emerald objects. I knew they weren't the Feds from their style. So i decided to stash those greenish things into oblivion", he coughed. "Though they never came to my cabin, I've been on the look out ever since".

Talia turned to look at Somto who nodded in cognizance. "Those weren't the Feds", said Somto. "They were Cristo's men....Cristo the international arms dealer".

And Gerlad's face creased in deep thoughts. "I think i know a certain Frank Cristo", he said. "But that was during the second world war. I served with him in the same regiment of the Allied Forces aginst Hitler. I was just 18 then. Couldn't be him.....that was so many years ago".

"You're right Gerald", Talia cut in. "That was his father, Frank Janvier Cristo of the Belgian Army. Died years ago after series of deliria".

"Hmmm....I see", Gerald scoffed. Then Somto started recounting to him all that had transpired after he had left the Krypto Capsules in his cabin on that fateful evening the facility was breached. And how he had lost his memory and lived with a Most Wanted assasin who had pretended to be his wife. After recounting his story, Gerald was astounded.

"Blimey! They almost had your head, son", he said.

"Yeah.....", Somto heaved. Then all of a sudden, they heard the approaching sounds of scurring footsteps outside the cabin. The footsteps sounded like boots crushing on tree branches and dead leaves; and Gerald sat erect instantly, clutching his rifle. He too had heard the sound.

"I thought you said you're alone", he growled at Somto.

"Ofcourse we are", replied Somto, moving towards the window and bringing out his two pistols as he noticed a pin point red light on his chest.

In that instant, Talia swiftly dived at him. "Duck!" she yelled pushing him down to the floor as a bullet from a sniper gun shattered the window glass and more shots followed suit. In a surge of adrenalin, Somto rolled on the floor and shot the light bulbs, taking out the light and throwing the room into darkness, before crawling to where Gerald was ducked. The darkness was now a leverage for their escape.

"Where are the capsules?" Somto demanded

"Follow me!", whispered Gerald, and Somto signalled Talia to come along as the rain of gun shots were now piercing the whole house.
