"Hurry up Somto", Talia panicked, hovering her eyes from the burning curtains to the leaking gas, then to the fire place and back to the curtains.

Firmly grasping the knife, Somto held the knife in place and began to cut through the binds on his wrist, slowly and steadily till he felt the bind loosen. Then with a pull, he freed his hands from their bondage and moved to cut the binds around his legs, unfastening the ropes strapping his ankles to the legs of the chair as he inhaled a voluminous amount of the propane gas within the atmosphere. The ropes came off easily and he scrambled to his feet, feeling the great heat from the burning curtains as he rushed to set Talia free. They were already running out of time. And in a twinkle of an eye, Talia was up on her feet. Quickly, they smashed the windows with the metal chairs and dived out as the whole place instantly went off in a massive gas explosion which sent the two agents rolling on the mossy ground continuously till they came to collide with each other at the base of a wooden fence.

The whole vicinity was now illuminated by the cackling flames from the burning cabin as people far away from the neighbourhood screamed at the blazing sight which blinded Somto and Talia temporarily. They managed to get back on their feet, quite bruised and disheveled, and dashed off into the woods before the cops or the villagers would draw near.

Somto and Talia got back to the motel by midnight, passing by the young receptionist who didn't fail to notice the disheveled looks of the two agents and they smiled at him "It was an accident", Talia shrugged, and the teenage boy smiled back at them as they took to the corridor. They had rented their rooms seperately and had installed secret cameras in each of them incase of trespassers. On getting to Somto's door, Talia said: "We have to take out that transmitter in you", she suggested. "But i have to inform the Mossad that we're alive. They'll be thinking we're dead by now", she said. "I'll be with you in a short while", and she walked away heading to her room. Somto unlocked the door to his own room and walked in caustiously incase the room had been opened (in his absence) and booby trapped. Carefully he carried out the routine security checks for explosive devices, bugging and wiretapping, before checking on the secret camera to see if it had captured any illegal movement in his room. Having been satisfied that all was clear, he lay back on the bed and sighed deeply as his mind drifted away. What a wasted effort by loosing the Krypto Capsules to Cristo, he thought. For all he knew, a buyer could be waiting at the moment to purchase the weapon for selfish interests. Buyers like Filip Ludvig who was an extremist and a global terrorist. Somto believed he had failed mankind once again just as Sasha had accused Talia, because the Krypto capsules would be synonymous to armageddon in the hands of the wrong person. Somto was startled back to reality when he noticed Talia walk into his room holding a scalpel, a gauze and a bottle of antiseptic which she placed on the reading table.

"It's time to get that bug out", she announced and Somto sat up as she came to squat before him. "Where in your arm is it?" she asked, and Somto brought forth his left arm, indicating the spot. Taking the blinking scalpel, Talia brought it close to the spot on Somto's left arm and looked up at him. "This ain't gonna be funny", she said before stuffing some of the gauze into Somto's mouth and slowly, she sliced through his flesh.
Somto winced in pain and writhed his arm as the Mossad agent incised him deeply. Meticulously, she dug her index finger into the incision and brought out a tiny silvery device with tentacles. It looked more of an organism as it's tentacles twitched desperately.

"That's it", muttered Talia dropping the device to the floor and crushing it under her boot. "I believe that'll convince Cristo and Sasha that you're dead...when they don't get to receive transmissions anymore".

"I'm sorry about what happened during the Black November bombing", mumbled Somto as he watched Talia disinfect the incision with the guaze and antiseptic (Talia looked up at him before continuing with what she was doing), and Somto said, "You know....I heard about it, when I arrived Tel Aviv for my training. I can now remember vividly".

"Your memory seems to be fully restored, I can see", said Talia, tossing the bloody gauze aside. "Well, let's just say that was in the past. I couldn't just let the baby die....though i still lost it and couldn't stop Sasha. I must admit Sasha beat me to the game". And she stood up to take a seat on the bed beside Somto, with her palms over her face. "I feel so responsible for the death of those hundreds of people on Red Square that day".

"Dont beat yourself too hard Talia", said Somto. "You're a good agent, and you did the best you could at that moment". And Talia turned to look at him with a faint smile on her face.

"And you're a good agent too", she replied. "I guess your country Nigeria, would be proud of you".

"Yeah....that's if they know I'm still alive", said Somto sadly. And Talia nodded in agreement.

"Coming to that", Talia digressed. "do you have any contact...like someone you can trust in the espionage world of your country?"

"Yes I do", Somto cleared his throat. "His name is Col. Ademuyiwa of the Defence Intelligence Agency. But I don't think it's time to inform him".

Taila sighed and held onto Somto's bleeding arm. She took another set of gauze and applied pressure to the incision as she looked into Somto's eyes while he stared back into hers.

"So what did your guys in the Mossad say?"asked Somto.

"They were glad i was still alive after hearing Cristo's message to them over the receiver", she replied. "But they threatened to extract me back to Israel if i fail to succeed with the mission. They just can't stand another 'Black November error' ".

"And what about me? What happens when they extract you?" demanded Somto. And Talia replied: "I guess they'll take you along with me to Israel before informing your country that you're alive. Then they can come pick you from there".

"Look Talia, we have to get as close as we can to Cristo before he sells those Capsules", Somto rasped. "And i think we have to start from the mob at the casino who had ambushed you. I believe this whole thing is connected some how, and extracting information from those mobsters will give us a leverage in this mission".

"I don't think I can pull this mission successfully Agent Somto", sobbed Talia. Though she was trained to be unbreakable, not to cry or flinch, she couldn't help letting the tears fall off her eyes at least for once. She wasn't sobbing because she was weak, no. But because she wouldn't forgive herself if she failed once again. Then Somto moved closer to hold her by the shoulder.

"Hey...remember what you once told me?", he said. "We were trained to survive. And you will surely pull through, trust me".


Talia was now looking into the eyes of the Nigerian agent before her. He was such a gifted spy with every bit of smartness and guts needed in a man with his kind of job, yet he was gentle. A rare combination of toughness and gentility. She always admired that African accent he had imbibed from his Igbo folks in Nigeria after his early years in the US. Then she smiled thoughtfully at him as his fingers grazed her shoulders, sending tingling shivers down her body. She could see his eyes unflinching and fixed, and she lightly caressed his injured arm, sliding her fingers upwards to feel his biceps which constricted under her touch. With her eyes already dilated with emotions, she watched his broad chest heave continuously. The atmosphere seemed to be suddenly warm and there was a sudden surge of chemistry between them. More by reflex, she slowly brought her parted lips forward causing their lips to meet in a deep kiss as they gently fell to the bed and consumated their passion.

Bro, reading is not for people with dull brains. It's for those with the mental capacity to assimilate written works.

At a time, you re very correct! But don't call it dull brains, I was just amused. Bro! In this part of the world, brains don't work.... grin grin grin. You should agree with me.

The beeping of the alarm on Talia's watch startled them awake the next morning, and they both scrambled under the sheets simultaneously as Talia noticed she was bare under the sheets. The events of the previous night began to play back in her head. She gasped in shock, clutching her head as Somto got into his pants.

"Oh my God!" she gasped. "How did we end up together, in bed, undressed?"

"Er...er...", Somto stuttered nervously, scratching his head "you allowed it. It happened so fast". Talia wrapped the sheets around her body and slithered into her clothes.

"You shouldn't have taken advantage of my emotions!" she snapped before storming out of the room and banging the door behind her. Then she opened the door once more, poking her head in, "Get set, we're leaving Vienna...Now!". And she banged the door once again. All the while, Somto stood speechless watching the lady fume till she left the room. He only shook his head at the complexity of his female partner.

It was by noon they made it back to Vienna and headed straight to the Safe House to join Saul once more. They really needed to change location now their position had been given away by Somto's transmitter. Quickly Talia contacted her superiors in the Mossad inquiring for another Mossad Safe House, and she was directed to a new location in a more remote part of the city, not too far from the slums. Without wasting time, Talia led the three man team as they evacuated the building, heading to the new Safe House. Once again, they assisted Saul to set up all the high tech equipments needed for the control room. It wasn't long after they were done with the arrangements and Saul took his place before the large flat screen monitor. He had been keeping track of all Duncan's calls through the cloned phone but nothing of relevance had been uncovered in any of Duncan's discussions with his callers. Moreover Saul had come to the conclusion that Duncan rarely used the phone owing to the fact he hardly received calls on it. But that didn't deter him as he always kept a close tab on any call that came in or went out.

Upon their arrival in the new Safe House, new security measures were put in place to make the Safe House safer than the previous one. Somto had Saul install heat sensors and CCTV around the building were the Safe House was located. So the next plan was how to get into the casino, find the mob and start asking questions which would lead them to recovering the Krypto Capsules.

A day after they had returned from Imst, Somto noticed Talia had been withdrawn towards him. She hardly came to sit with him and Saul before the control monitors as they used to. And was always keeping to herself. They needed every amount of psychological balance and cooperation if they would succeed with the mission, and Talia was proving otherwise. So Somto decided to talk to her while she sat alone on the dusty stairs of the Safe House.

"Care to talk to someone?"he asked, taking his seat beside her.

"And watch you take advantage of my emotions once again, huh?"she replied without looking at him.

"Listen Talia", Somto rasped. "I'm sorry for what happened back there at Imst. I shouldn't have let go off my restraint".

"It's okay, I'm good", Talia smiled. "That's not my problem for now".

"And so what's your problem?"asked Somto. But Talia only smiled and squeezed his arm.

"I wanna kill Sasha....and I must", she said. And her face creased suddenly, looking serious. "Let's get ready to storm the casino", she stated getting back on her feet, "We have little time on our hands". And she walked back up the stairs as Somto stared at her all the way.



Günthers Casino was a top class spot for the city's rich and influential. It was also the base of the city's mob and was located close to a red light district on Gürtel road, which made it a necessary debauchery. The two agents arrived Gürtel road by evening in different cars and Somto parked some paces across the casino, watching the movements around the vicinity as Talia was parked close to the entrance of the casino in the opposite direction.For the sake of the mission, she was disguised as a certain Clare Sommer; a licentious, rich beautiful business woman in a red evening gown. And her facial identity was altered with a realistic latex mask. While Somto had a black panama hat on his head and wore a gray trench coat over a white shirt with false beards around his jaw, to alter his looks. The plan was to use Talia as bait to trap the owner of the Casino, Herr Gûnther who was also a henchman in the city's mob. Staring at Talia's cadillac in the distance, Somto pressed on his micro ear piece and spoke into his communication device.

"Smoke, I think you're good to go", he said. Instantly he heard Talia's voice reply him overhis earpiece.

"Smoke screen being initiated, come in right after me",she purred.

And Somto watched her alight from her vehicle, walking haughtily into the magnificent Casino. Minutes later Somto walked in casually, and was greeted by the sounds of spinning roulettes and slot machines which was accompanied by the raucous laughter of gambling men who were surrounded by beautiful ladies cheering them on. Walking to the lounge area, he took a seat as he watched Talia walk up to one of the huge guards on suit standing by a stairway.

"I'm here to see Herr Günther", Talia said to the huge guard

"Any appointment?" he asked in a growl.

"None....but I came with a proposal he wouldn't want to miss", replied Talia. "And i guess you wouldn't like to be responsible for that".

The man seemed to take a survey of Talia, studying her from head to toe as he tried to assure himself that she was really worth breaking the necessary protocol. Then he said, "What's your name?"

"Clare Sommer", replied Talia. And the guard looked her over once more before he excused himself and climbed upstairs, while Talia hovered her eyes around,watching the gambling men seated behind the baracat and poker tables as some of them stared back at her winking lewdly. Minutes later, the huge guard came down half way the staircase and beckoned on Talia to come forth as Talia took to the stairs following behind him.

"About making contact with target", she muttered into hercommunication device, to the discretion of the guard in front of her. "You'll hear from me in 20 minutes tops. Anything beyond that, come to my aid". And the guard led her upstairs, to the corner of a corridor. "This way please", he indicated down a carpeted passage, and Talia now walked in front trying to maintain her domineering poise and they came before another mammoth man,standing infront of a door, who indicated for her to stop. He was the definition of a man mountain, standing about six foot four, with broad shloulders as that of a grizzly bear. He thoroughly searched Talia,rummaging through the contents of her purse and spotted a blue cylinderical spray can within.

"What's this?"he asked holding the can.

"That's my pepper spray", replied Talia. "Don't tell me a group of hefty men like you are afraid of a can of pepper spray? Moreover every lady carries one"

The mammoth man looked at the other huge guard who shrugged indifferently before the mammoth man handed back the pepper spray to Talia. And she put it back in place.

"You're such a gentleman", she said. The mammoth man nodded as he opened the door for her to walk in, followed by the huge guard.


She was ushered into a spacious room full of junkies and tattooed thugs who were surrounded by ladies of easy virtue as they smoked like chimneys. They all turned to look in her direction the moment she walked in as a pop music blasted from the surround system. The huge man overtook her and walked towards a stoutman seated in a private lounge which was seperated from the room by a blue curtrain. The man had three ladies around him and he raised his head to observe Talia the momentthe huge guard whispered something into his ear. The stout man nodded affirmatively, before the guard walked back to where Talia stood and said to her: "Herr Günther will see you now", he growled and walked away. And Talia discreetly whispered into her comm device oncemore: "Approaching target", she muttered and Somto replied: "Copy that".

Talia walked to the curtained lounge, passing by two bodyguards on suitand stepped in; and the stout man clapped his hands as the skimpily dressed ladies around him stood up one after the otherand left the space. The stout man who was now ogling Talia offered her aseat beside himself and she sat down crossing her legs and facing him, as a part of her tanned thighwas exposed through the slit of her red dress. The man licked his lips lustfully.

"May Iintroduce myself formally", he said. "I am Herr Günther Jurgen, owner of this prestigious money spinning facility", he concluded with pride.

"And I'm Clare Sommer", purred Talia seductively, offering him her hand.

Herr Günther seemed to be taken by her charms and he kissed the back of Talia's hand with a smile on his face. "American I guess?"Herr Günther inquired.

"No, Canadian", Talia lied and Günther nodded studiously

"I've only been to Canada but twice", he said. "But it's a beautiful country"

"You can say that again", replied Talia while Günther kept smiling sheepishly.

"So, what do I offer you?"he asked. "Whisky...Scotch...Tequila....."

"Nothing for now", replied Talia.And Herr Günther adjusted in his seat now beginning to study her.

"So what brings such beauty like you to my casino?" he demanded. And Talia began to tell him about a business proposal which caught his unwavering interest, or probably he was simply enchanted by the beauty of the auburn haired woman beside him.

It was almost twenty minutes when Talia discreetly checked her wrist watch and she stirred uneasily in her seat, heaving frantically to the notice of Herr Günther. He was not a man who usually cared about the affairs of a woman or cared about their feelings. But in his bid to win the heart of the beautifulrich lady beside him, he was forced to show care.

"Hope you're okay?"he asked.

Talia shook her head slowly, "I need to use the bathroom", she sighed. "Where is the ladies, please". Herr Güntherclapped his hands and one of the body guards came in through the curtain.

"Show her to the ladies", Herr Günther said and the bodyguard beckoned on Talia to follow him. They got to a door which had the sign 'Damen' (which means Ladies in German) and Talia opened itand stepped in. From her experience onfield operations, she knew toilets in such a place as Günthers Casino was prone to having hiddencameras;so she maintained her composure incase she was being watched on CCTV, and pretended to be talking to herself as she signalled Somto over the micro ear piece.

"It's time to roll", she mumbled, facing the mirror as she re-did the make over on her face.


Somto was already worried about Talia's safety before he heard her voice over his communication device. Gently, he stood upand located the bathroom and went in. Closing the door behind him, he brought out a small high tech adapter (which Saul had given to him)from his coat and plugged it into a socket on the wall. Instantly, the light bulbs twitched, and the power within the casino went out immediately as the whole place was thrown into totalblackout. He had just a short time to accomplish his mission before the back up generator powered on. Swiflty he brought out his pistol, silenced it with a 9mm silencer and dahsed out of the toilet, onto the casino floor as everyone panicked in the blackout.Taking advantage of the darkness, he slipped passed the huge guard by the stairway and climbed up the stairs to notice the passageway already lit with emergency gas lamps as one of the guards spotted him coming and fired a shot which missed him by inches to ricochet on the wall. Somto ducked instinctively.

Talia had been inside the bathroom all along waiting for Somto's move. And the moment she heard the shots from the corridor, she pickedthe pepper-spray can from her purse, also pulling out a .32 calibre pistol which was strapped to her inner thigh by a thigh holster,and slipped out of the bathroom, back into the large room which was now faintly lit by a single gas lamp. Then she held out the pepper spray can, pulled off its muzzleand rolled it towards the centre of the large room as the can hissed sharply, sending a thick cloud of grey smoke which diffused round the room and hampered everyone's vision as she ducked behind a pillar and pointed her gun awaiting the slightest movement. The pepper spray can was actually a Smoke cannister in disguise. Alerted by the gunshots and the sudden smoke within the room, one of the guards began to trot out of the loungewhere Herr Güther was and Talia took a clean shotat himwithin the cloud of smoke, sending the ladies and junkies into a frenzyand one of the body guards pushed Herr Günther down to the ground as Talia beganfiring towards the other twoguards. Some of the thugs had now pulled out their guns (though they could hardlysee through the smoke) and began to fire back at Talia who skillfully rolled on the floor and crouched behind a metal safe. The bullets being fired at her were now ricocheting with loud pings on the metal safe as she got up momentarily to fire back at the men, taking full advantage of the smokescreen. From a corner of her hiding position, she could see the guard with Herr Günther trying to sneakhim out of the private lounge and she shot at them severally, killing the guard and hitting Günther by the leg to prevent him from escaping. Just in that moment, Somto smashed the door open and came into the room, gripping an injured guard as a human shield. And the thugs and the two guardsopened fire instantly, killing the human shield and Somto heaved the body away and dived to the smooth floor, rolling along as he took out one of the thugs who died on the spot.

Through the grey smoke, Somto spotted the figure of Talia from his position as she dashed towards the private lounge (where Günther lay in pains) and he gave her a cover fire by shooting sporadically at the guards and thugs, hitting one of the guards in the chest as the other guard fled in panic; while Somto aimed at the back of his head and fired at him as he fell face down, dead.

The power was now back on due to the Back Up generator; and the large room was now brightly lit as the ground was stained with blood and littered with the dead bodies of some of the junkies and their women who had ran amock amidst the gun battle within the faint light in the room. Some of the screaming ladies and junkies who had survived the shoot out, were now running out of the room following the return of the lights which they needed to find their way out as the gun fire ceased brifely, with each man checking his ammo in that tensed moment. Then Talia pressed onto her earpiece "I'm almost running out of ammo", she communicated with Somto, before searching the dead body of the guard who had tried to sneak Günther out, and found a Smith & Wesson pistol which she cocked. Meanwhile downstairs at the casino ground, everyone had scampered away the moment the lights came back. And all these while, Herr Günther had been wincing and writhing in pains, muttering curses at Talia who was now ducked beside him.

"You devious bitch", he spat. "You can't leave this place alive. My men are gonna kill you".

"We'll see about that", replied Talia. And the fire fight resumed once more.

Somto told Talia (through his communication device) to cover him and he crawled forward to grab an Uzi submachine gun belonging to one of the dead thugs and fired expertly at the thugs taking them one after the other. And to the last one, he gave a chance of trying to escape before gunning him down at the doorway. Then he walked to meet Talia where she held Günther down to the ground, and squated before the injured man. And Talia peeled off the latex mask to reveal her true identity. Günther gasped the moment he saw her face.

"Oh damn! It's you", he panted.

"Good to know you know her", said Somto. "Now tell me....why did you set your men on her?"

"I don't know what you're talking about", Günther rasped.

"Who told you to kill her?" Somto demanded.

But the man wouldn't answer. Instead he panted, "I need a doctor....please". And in a feat of anger, Somto shot his other leg, in the knee, and he cried out in livid pain. "It's Yuri....it's Yuri", he cried. "The order was from Yuri!"

"Who's Yuri?" asked Talia

"I don't know him", Günther panted.

"You're lying again!" Somto snapped, squeezing the injured knee and Günther spasmed in uncontrollable pain. "Please stop!", he begged. "Please...please, i'll talk. Oh yes, I'll talk".

"Then talk!" Somto snapped.

"Yuri is like a ghost", Günther began."No one....no one ever sees him. We only....we only receive his orders from Parter Noster....through whom he pays us"

"Pater what?"asked Talia in surprise. "Isn't that supposed to be the latin form forthe Lords Prayer?"

"That's what we know him as", Günther cried. "He brings us orders....orders from Yuri".

"Where can we find this Parter Noster?" Somto demanded knowing fully well that this was their only chance at getting to the root of their mission once and for all. And the man wheezed frantically.

"It's....it's....."


Just then they heard stomping movements coming from downstairs and Somto got up in alert. Quickly, he ran to the door, closing and barricading it with a steel pole. And Günther laughed wryly.

"I told you", he sputtered with blood in his mouth"you won't make it out of this place alive....all my men are now here".

Noticing there was no time on their side, with the impending danger, Somto's mind began to work at hyper speed and he grabbed the curtains of the private lounge, ripping it into two halves before hastening to the nearest window which faced the back of the building. He smashed the window and was joined by Talia who helped him tie the halves of the curtain in a strong end-to-end knot to each other, and also tied it to the window frame as they could hear the great number of men struggling to open the door to save Günther's life. Then Somto and Talia lowered the elongated length of the curtain down the alley at the back of the casino.

"You have to go first", Somto stated

"What about Günther?" Talia asked. "He still has more to say"

"He won't talk anymore. Not when his men are already at the door", said Somto quite tensed. "Waiting a minute longer is suicidal". And Talia nodded in agreement, before she hurriedly climbed throughthe window, grabbing the curtain firmly as she slid downwards.

Somto knew they had lost the chance of obtaining more information fromGünther as they were on the verge of escape. But he was not going to spare his life for fear of him coming back for them. So he pointed his gun at Günther who gaped at him with wide eyes.

"Too bad you won't see me leave", Somto muttered. And before Herr Günther could utter a word, Somto took two precise shots, hitting him in the chest and he sprawled lifeless on the floor in a sudden pool of blood. By then Talia had reached the end of the curtain when she heard the shots. She jumped carefully to reach the ground and looked upwards to see Somto climbing down the wall as Günther's men finally made it into the room. As fast as possible, Somto hopped down to the grimy cobblestones of the dark alley to join Talia. And Günther's men (on discovering Günther dead) fired downwards at them as they ran ahead, but the men missed their marks owing to the darkness beclouding the alleyway.
