Troubles Coming

Diving In

Hayden reached the airport with five minutes to spare. He drank the last of his coffee he picked up from a 24-hour petrol station and threw it away as he entered the private jet. Sasha looked at Hayden over the book she was reading and smiled. "New mission", she said, "Are you excited?". Hayden sat down opposite her on the luxurious leather seats, "I'm more nervous than excited", he answered, taking out the case file and started to read it. The jet started up and began making its way down the runway. "Do you like flying?", Sasha asked, turning the page of her crime novel. Hayden sucked air between his teeth, "It wouldn't be my favourite thing in the world, but it's alright". "I love flying", she said, "Much better than the boat or car". Just as Hayden got into the case mentally, the jet ascended to the sky. He closed his eyes. It was going be a hopefully short four-hour flight. 

When Hayden and Sasha touched down at Paravesha airport it was nine in the morning. They were greeted by two other members of another agency branch. "Welcome, friends", a tall man said with his overweight partner, "I am Steven and this is my partner, Jason". All four parties hook hands. "We shall see you to your car and hotel", Jason said, "Follow us". Hayden put his suitcase and bag at the back of Mercedes E-Class next to Sasha's. He got in the back next to Sasha with Steven driving and Jason in the passenger seat. "We know you have a very tough case", Jason said as Steven pulled out into the traffic. "We want to help as much as possible", Steven said, "Help and catch this little monster". "He's been on or watchlist for years", Jason explained, "But only recently, he's picked the anti up". "Is he a native?", Sasha asked, looked out the window at the buildings that made up Paravesha. "Does it not say in your file?", Steven asked. "There's very little on him", Hayden said, "It's only really up to date on him from the past few years". "In that case, we don't think so", Jason said, "There are rumours he's not American at all, but don't know". Hayden sighed, this was going to be like pulling teeth. 

Zain sat out in the sun on his balcony as Alexa informed him on today's news. "Have our friends arrived, Alexa?", Zain asked, running Shepard on his head. "They arrived at nine this morning", Alexa responded. "They'll be here soon", Zain said to himself, "But we're prepared. They aren't leaving without a warning to leave me alone". "The ninja stars have been equipped this morning", Alexa said. "Excellent", Zain said, getting up and walking with Shepard, "They will not stop me. Even if I have to kill them". Zain was very close to the man he really wanted to kill, he wasn't going to let a couple of agents waltz in and ruin it.
