ISIS: The Agent [On Hold]

Chapter 5: Five Million Dollar Man (Valentine's Day Special)

Following orders wasn't a speciality of Apex, being the intern of a $5m prized man required discipline. Spending most of the time at Atlas after learning the arabic language, learning to follow orders. Killing anything or everything ordered to, was the lesson Apex was taught back at Apex.

Following Harun into his black SUV, the engine roared to life as the tires screeched quickly moving towards the Main Street.
Speed limit never followed, it was playing GTA 5 in real life. Women shouting running with their children to safety, babies crying on the arms and the man helplessly pushing them to safety.

Going through a very dark alley, the roads small enough for the car to enter and never turn back. A short distance travelled as the alley grew darker, no life to be seen and no sound to be heard. A small yellow light directing to the end, shinning from the end of the street was the only guide for the roofless-tunnel like alley.

Stopping at the end of the alley taking a right turn, the car's engine died down and the silence grew rapidly. Two men who had their face covered all wearing their traditional dresses came out of a door and opened the door.

Apex went out first, followed by Harun along with his two personal bodyguards. Following them into the door. The small scary steps lead them to the second floor where one of the bodyguard knocked.

Speaking in Arabic, the guard opened the door confirming and let them in. A large office mainly of wood furniture and tiles, an office desk at the center and a huge flatscreen on the end of the room.

"Come with me" Harun spoke pointing to the desk while looking at Apex. "Have a seat" said Harun after sitting on his own chair while looking at Apex.

Calmly, although his heart kept on pounding Apex slowly went on to sit on the chair and look at Harun. The man America wanted for so long the CIA had been searching for him and all it took was defending himself.

Knowing that the agency was searching for him for the past 6 years this seemed really easy especially after he mentioned being a soldier.

"As you know today is one of the biggest days of doing sins, a day where all haram becomes halal for people. You may have heard about all the training in the border or maybe the part of getting recruited in the border." Harun was speaking all this time while Apex was loosing his breath, the sweat forming in his forhead. "We set that to recruit anyone who was stupid enough to join us. Usually those who need money, have no idea what religion is or are out there to get the Americans. You are a smart man and we both know that the Americans get tax for fight against terrorism and we get people for jihad. We both call each other terrorists we both fight terrorism."

This was already going out of hand, Apex could no longer feel his feet, his head was bursting with all the thoughts of being caught. Trying to calm himself, never expecting this challenge on his first day.

"Where did they take him? Someone get his location! " CIA Director Estes to his team at the office. Every computer monitoring Apex. All video recording stopped the screen going all grey with black dots.

The agents around clicking on the keyboard quickly, buzzing in the Bluetooth headsets and many voices speaking in the room.

"Anyone? I am still waiting! What the hell happened there?" Estes kept on roaring looking at his agents with fire in his eyes.

Ever since the 9/11 and the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the new ISIS leader was the main priority. Keeping track of him was the only goal the CIA had in mind.

"Sir, you have a call. It says it is urgent!"
