CHAPTER 5

A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER

After the plane landed, I made sure to grab my things and leave after Yelena. I exited the airport and watched as a sleek black one-of-a-kind prototype Aston Martin DB11 pulled up. Yelena looked at me with a raised brow, impressed. "Okay, so I'm more than just a bodyguard." I said as threw my luggage into the wide open custom trunk fitted with a secret compartment beneath holding a variety of weapons. I closed the door and looked at Yelena with a smile. "Until next time, Ms. Romanoff. Perhaps when we meet again...you and I can talk about how I can handle you." I said with a wink getting into driver's side door. She crossed her arms.

"You couldn't handle me if your life depended on it, Mikhailov." She said leaning down against the car. I smirked. "Care to find out?" I asked. She hesitated for a moment. "I'd rather drop dead." She stated. I chuckled with a smile. "Enjoy your stay in Paris, Yelena." I said before peeling away out of the airport.

MINUTES LATER

I maneuvered the vehicle around the narrow streets of France. "Delta...you there?" I voiced. An electronic start-up initiated followed by a female voice.

"Nikolai...good to see you. How can I be of service?" She voiced. "Get me a place to stay that has the highest vantage point that is private." I answered. "I would recommend the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile." She answered showing a holographic display of the hotel. "How tall?" I asked. "Tall enough." She answered. "Good enough get me the room on the top floor." I ordered. "Done." Delta stated. "Also...do a search for Alpha Target." I added. "Searching..." She announced. "Alpha Target located." She said. "Show me." I stated. A live-feed of Yelena was seen sitting in a cafe sipping on a drink.

I looked away from the feed after realizing I was staring for too long. I waved my hand over the hologram and watched it die down through my peripheral vision. "Is something wrong, Mikhailov?" Delta asked after the long silence. "Delta shutdown." I ordered before shifting into the next year and speeding off towards the hotel.

HYATT REGENCY PARIS ÈTOILE

I stood inside the hotel room and looked around. I squinted my eyes before heading to the closet and and setting the luggage inside. I tapped on the face of my watch and swiped up before watching the face flick upward to reveal a small disk inside. I pulled it out and closed the watch before placing it inside the closet. The luggage disappeared. I crossed my arms before waving my foot around the closet. It was as if nothing was there. "God, I love technology." I muttered.

I walked to the large window before hearing a knock at the door. I furrowed my brows before pulling out small cylindrical object. I flicked it and watched it form into a bow. I looked through the peephole of the door before finding Yelena outside. I deconstructed the bow and shoved it back in my pocket before opening the door. I looked around. "Yelena? How did you...how did you find me?" I asked her. "I have my ways." She said. "What...are you doing here?" I asked noticing her looking down both ways of the corridor.

"Trying to see if you can handle me." She said before pushing me inside the room and closing the door behind her and locking it as she pressed her lips to my own.
