Chapter 9

''Sir.'' They both stand before him, having their head a bit bowed waiting for their approval to speak.

''So?''

''We searched information on Fenrir.''

''Who?''

''The one who possesses the USB flash drive''

''I see, sit down.''

They were in a restaurant, that was mostly empty, sitting somewhere in a corner. He asks the waiter to bring two more glasses which he does, they immediately pour something to drink for the two who just joined him. They both grab the glasses gulping down the liquid, they were really thirsty after all the run.

''We didn't get the USB flash drive'' before he couldn't continue the upper rank slams the glass aggressively against the table, small glass shards coming out of it.

''But-'' He tries to calm down by taking a mouthful of alcohol. ''We found a lot of intel. First of all, he has connections with Atlas.'' Words at which, their superior, gets cut in the lip from the missing fragment, making him also choke.

They all were silent as he was trying to stop coughing, blood flowing down from his lip. He touched his lips seeing the blood on his hands, looking down on them, then wipes it.

''Also, we don't need to chase the USB driver, he has everything downloaded into his computer so we just hacked and got it on ours.''

They both were getting more excited for the payment seeing their superior's face lighting up. One of them, enthusiastic, slides down the table a flash driver with the containing files they needed.

''You all did a really good job.'' He picks up the stick looking at it, smiling with his sparkling eyes and then he puts it in his pocket.

''Bottoms up.'' He adds, then happy , stretching his arm, holding the drink to cheers. They were happy they made their leader proud. As they were drinking , one of them spoke up.

''Also, we were more guys but the van driver that was following Atlas got shot by a sniper.'' He was too dizzy and already drunk to understand the situation. Their upperclassman was deadly staring them in the eyes, there was no smile on his face, no excitement, but why , after all they did what they got told also with more information.

''I'm getting dizzy and sleepy, damn'' one of them laughed as he puts his hand on his forehead as he was laughing with the other.

''W-h..o w-woulwww shwoot the dwriiverr '' one of them started absolutely making no sense, mumbling words.

''I did.'' The superior says serious. He gets up and grabs his coat.

''What? What do you mean by that, wait so-'' one of them tried to get up in shock to drag him before he left to get an explanation but he ended up passing out.

''Did you drug us? After what we did?'' the other who still didn't pass out tried to get his words right this time.

''Take them out from here.'' He ordered as he put his coat on looking out of the window, searching with his eyes the car that was going to pick him up. Some of his subordinates got up from random places of the restaurant to get the two passed out men. The restaurant was actually empty, all the people were his men.

He goes in the car, backseat as he sighs heavily. The driver looks at him trough the mirror as he was driving. He takes out a packet with cigarettes and a lighter.

''Didn't you say, you quit?''

Ignoring him for the moment, he puts the cigarette in his mouth and lits it, opening the window.
