Authors Note: Just a quick disclaimer. If that title is the actual title of the song (You'll know what title I'm talking about, I'll italisize it.) I didn't mean for it to be like that. It was just trying to come up with a label for the cassete, that does not mean that is the name of the song, Im leaving that up for interpretation.

"Die Landebahn" CIA Safe House E9, West Berlin
"Sure you don't wanna come with us, Bell?" Mason teased.
"What, and sing Frosty The Snowman while having Soviets shoot at me? Nah, that's all you and Woods."
They both laughed.
"Suit yourself then, but know this. I can sing beautifully."
"Right, and Woods and Hudson are best friends." Bell said sarcastically.
"Hah!" Bell's comment got a laugh out of Woods who was walking past to load up some equipment in the van.
"We got everything?" Mason asked Woods.
"Yep."
"Good luck." Bell shook Mason's hand.
"We don't need it." Woods said as he cranked the van.
The breeze outside was gentle, calm. He felt like he could just fall on his back and watch the stars as he fell asleep. But of course with the world threatening Perseus, that was nearly impossible. He watched until the Van disappeared into the distance.
Bell went back inside and closed the big garage door that was left open for the van.
"Wait leave it-'' Lazar stopped himself.
"What?"
"Sims and I were about to go grab food for everyone. We'll take the regular door out."
"You want anything?" Sims asked putting his hat on
"Only if it's the best burger joint in town," Bell said with a smile.
"It's the only burger joint in town." Sims replied.
"The usual then."
"Got it." Lazar said as they slipped out the door.
"Hey Lazar." Bell called.
"Yeah?"
"Is Adler still here?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It'd just be nice to have a break from the boss every once and a while, you know." Bell sighed.
"Yeah, it does suck. That's why we're going and you're not." Lazar said with a smirk.
"You're funny." Bell said sarcastically.
Seeing there was nobody else in the room, he walked over to his desk and pulled out his Walkman and a pair of small headphones.
Desperate for a few moments of music, he rummaged through his desk finding a small cassette to place inside. Even before he was recruited to Adler's team he managed to pick up tapes he found on his past missions. After years of running ops, he had many tapes. He even managed to find one in Kraus' apartment, a nice bright side to how terribly that mission almost went.
Bell matched the music tapes with quiet hums and lyrics.
"Bell."
"Bell"
"Bell!"
Adler raised his voice, snapping Bell out of his musical moment. "Do you have those reports finished?"
