Gabriel is in his assigned room looking through photos of his travels over the years as he smiles remembering those days as that was the one good thing about the FSB besides the good pay, the fact he got to travel to new places, it really opened his eyes to the world around him.

He soon comes across a picture of him and his dad in Samara just outside the hospital he was born in. "What would you do in this situation?" Gabriel asks himself as he decides to change his bandage tossing the old one away as it doesn't hurt as much but he's still taking it easy.

Despite being in his forties, Gabriel is in fantastic shape still ripped nearly sporting a six pack but he soon puts a shirt on and a jacket eventually headed outside looking at the Baltic sea taking in the nice view. The peace however is interrupted when Gabriel feels a drunk guy shove him.

The man isn't that big at all, he's quite below average really. "I suggest you go to your room and lie down buddy." Gabriel says calmly as he's really not in the mood for a fight. "I don't take orders from you." He says sounding like he's drank about 6 shots of vodka or as Gabriel would call it, shit.

Gabriel turns to the drunk who's only tall enough to reach his chest. "Buddy look at me, then look at you... You are in no condition to fight." Gabriel says trying to be reasonable but he sees that the man is too drunk to listen to reason.

The man goes for an obvious punch as Gabriel simply dodges with little effort as the man trips on his own foot and faceplants into the floor. "Ouch." Gabriel says as that looked like it really hurt. The captain of the ship arrives and looks at Gabriel for an explanation. "Don't look at me, he fell on his own drunken accord." Gabriel says as the drunkard moans in pain.

The captain sighs as some civilians help the drunkard out. "I need to talk to you." The captain says as Gabriel follows him to his quarters as the Captain is up there in age looking to be late fifties to early sixties.

Gabriel can't help but notice the Captain's beer gut as it reminds him of his one too many uncles. "Now I allowed you passage on here as a favor to Arina but had I known I'd be smuggling a criminal? I would've reconsidered." He says turning a laptop around.

Gabriel looks and sees that there are official bounties on his head now, ranging from a hundred thousand if brought in dead or a million if brought in alive. "I see... You gonna take that chance?" Gabriel asks feeling like this just turned into a western flick you'd find in America.

The captain stares him up and down debating this but logically thinks it'd be a bad move. "Seeing that you have a bounty for a good reason? It's in my best interest to not pursue that... But I can't speak for the people here if they're crazy enough to try." The captain says.

Gabriel nods understanding that he can't exactly deter everyone. "I promise I'll keep to myself, I don't harm those unless provoked." Gabriel says as the Captain nods happy to hear that.

"How did you end up with the bounty?" The captain asks as Gabriel sits down thinking of how to say it.

"My job had me handling matters of national security and I had to do a lot of terrible things to maintain the false peace society goes through as that's how it's always been... But I guess my organization no longer saw me as useful and decided to send me on my future endeavors." Gabriel says subtly implying something else.

"Hmm so what now?" The captain asks as Gabriel genuinely doesn't know as spending the rest of his life running is not what he wants to do.

"I don't know... Maybe I can go somewhere and start a new life, always wanted to go to Norway." Gabriel says just rambling on as he genuinely doesn't know or believe if he can make it out of this.

Meanwhile at Rainbow headquarters, Lera Melnikova or better known by her codename of Finka is currently training per usual constantly pushing herself due to the fear of her disease.

"Your struggle is pointless, you're just on borrowed time delaying the inevitable... Just give up." The disease says inside her mind as it's just her imagination but nonetheless it makes her push herself further.

Lera eventually falls to her knees ready to pass out till she feels a firm hand grab her arm. She looks seeing Maxim Basuda or Kapkan as he helps her up and sits her down.

"You're really going hard today." Kapkan says giving her a water bottle which she sternly takes and drinks.

"It's no different today Maxim." Lera says but Maxim doubts this as he knows the difference when Lera is doing her usual workout and is going beyond that. "What do you want?" Lera asks panting heavily as she's sweating heavily.

"Just some interesting news is all." Kapkan says showing her the news of Gabriel Drozdov codename Blackbird having a bounty as official by the FSB.

"Blackbird? So he's on the run... What of it?" Lera asks indifferently as she doesn't necessarily care for Gabriel as Kapkan leans against a wall.

"I just find it interesting that the FSB's top agent is suddenly on the run from the same organization." Kapkan says as he finds it odd but Lera dismisses this.

"Perhaps he's become more trouble than his worth." Lera says grabbing her workout bag and walks with him. "When has the FSB ever been that black and white Lera?" Kapkan questions as Lera looks over.

"Never but when has the FSB ever made sense to us?" Lera asks rhetorically as Kapkan sees her point.

"I just thought it'd be interesting to look into." Kapkan says as Lera stops in her tracks as she's admittedly interested in this.

"It is but what would we even do if we found Gabriel? You're a killer Max but not in cold blood." Lera says as Kapkan stands next to her in the hallway.

"I guess bring him in, see what's going on." Kapkan says to which Lera nods as that makes sense. "Sure why not? Just get Harry's approval, I'll go bring the other Russians, they'll want in on this." Lera says as Kapkan nods whilst leaving her alone headed to Harry's office.

"Mr Basuda what brings you here?" Harry asks as Kapkan sits across from him as they proceed to talk about the situation with Gabriel. "I see... And what are you suggesting we do?" Harry asks curiously as Kapkan chooses his words carefully.

"I'd like to bring him in and question him about this... He could serve rainbow should you feel that'll be the right thing to do." Kapkan says as Harry asks about Gabriel and what he's like. "Gabriel is a man certainly willing to whatever it takes but personally? I don't like him but I think it'd be wise to look into this." Kapkan says as Harry is certainly intrigued.

"I see, you certain you'll be able to find him should I approve of this?" Harry asks as Kapkan chuckles somewhat. "Every hunt is just another hunt Harry." He says confidently as Harry is somewhat surprised to hear how casual Kapkan said that. "I see... Very well, you got my approval." Harry says as Kapkan nod appreciating this.

Kapkan leaves his office and begins looking through his phone as he still some favors he can call in.
