Summary of Events:
Hammy was called by Vera and updated as to what had happened in Thailand. Vera arrived in Afghanistan and immediately after being equipped she, Hammy, and the other agent went to get a progress report on the extradition request; while waiting for the other agent Vera noticed they were being watched. Hammy went to see who was watching them and found out that it was one of Mr. Miyamoto's men, who told him that Mr. Miyamoto had changed his mind and was going to try breaking Dong Rhee out himself. Vera was wondering what was taking Hammy so long and decided to go sneak around and see . . .
Excerpt of the Day:
"Vera almost felt like she was privileged to be seeing what she was seeing. It seemed like Agent Westley was entirely in his element.
His muscles were tight, the gun ready in his hands, his jaw set, his nostrils flaring with each breath; his mouth moved quickly, forming Japanese responses to the words the man was speaking to him.
Slowly he edged closer to the other man while still talking. She had a feeling Agent Westley didn't see her. He wasn't using the Covert Code to communicate with her. She didn't know what she should do. She had a feeling anything sudden would scare not only the man in front of her, but Agent Westley.
A shout sounded and Vera whirled around to see a man running toward her with a gun. Vera threw herself to the ground as gunfire exploded around her before rolling over, her gun already in her hand and ready to fire, but when she rolled over she found that the man Agent Westley had been talking to was on the ground in a bloody mess and the other man was fleeing with bloody wounds and his gun was laying on the ground.
Agent Westley looked over at her. He looked upset. Even more so when he took off his sunglasses to reveal his blue eyes, brimming with intensity and tension.
"He could've come up from behind and shot you if I wouldn't have been here," Vera said, getting up.
Agent Westley said nothing to her, but instead used his boots to roll the body around.
"You're going to have to fill out paperwork now," Vera said.
"No, I don't think so, actually," Agent Westley said. "All the obvious exit wounds are on the front."
"What did you learn from him?" Vera asked.
"The gangsters are going to try and break Dong Rhee out of prison on their own."
"That's not good," Vera said.
"Not with our wont to extradite him, no," Agent Westley said. "But I managed to get a lot of information our of him without him knowing it. I'm surprised at how slow he was, but at least he's dead now, so his gaffes won't be realised."
"So what are we going to do now?" Vera asked.
"Leave the scene and wait and see if his comrade returns to collect things," Agent Westley replied.
"And then?" Vera replied slowly.
"Tail him to their hideout and see what we can't do to sabotage their efforts," Agent Westley replied.
Vera nodded and walked back to the jeep. Petre emerged from the building before they arrived at it and looked at them before startling.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Someone was watching us," Agent Westley replied. "His own man killed him trying to get Dalca. I've got a lot of information for us, though."
"Classified of course," Petre said.
"Yes," Agent Westley replied.
"You're all covered in blood," Petre said.
"I felt myself get hit a couple of times, all in the vest, after they went through the man I was talking to," Agent Westley said.
Petre got into the driver's seat this time, with Agent Westley in the passenger, and Vera taking the backseat. She was intrigued to hear what Agent Westley had learned."
