The next day we landed on Rome. Luis Rojas got tracked down and we find out he's at some fishmarket. So me and Dji start to head there. As we walk on the port, the smell of fish and all kinds of other seafoods fills our noses. "So what is your plan when we find him?" Dji asks while watching her phone that is connected securitycameras around the whole fishmarket. "Punch him in the face, take the drive and shoot him." I say impassively. "Infront of all of these people?" she raise eyebrow at me. "Got any better ideas?" I ask. Dji thinks for a moment before opening her mouth;"We need to corner him somewhere quiet..-", "And then kill him by hands?" I smirk. "...We need to hear him out first, (Y/N)." she roll her eyes. "Why? He killed Nick!" I whisper hiss. "Shh..! How do you know it was him? We didn't get to see who did it." she says. I frow at her;"Doesn't leave much of a chose. Or do you think it was all planned? That someone else was there to wait for him, and then shoot him?". Dji shrug her shoulders and lets out a sigh. The smell of fish gets stronger.

We walk separate ways as we enter the fishmarket. There are not a lot of people here, but the whole place is so big it's hard to find Rojas right away. Then I notice him. The same man I saw in Paris. Luis Rojas. Mixed feelings goes thru me as I stare at him from the distance. "I see him." I inform Dji thru my earpiece. He is walking with someone. With dark haired woman. Maybe his wife? "He is not alone. Two guards at least, walking few steps behind." Dji sees them thru the cameras. "Right..." I reply and start to come up with a plan how to get rid of them. "(Y/N)." Dji interrupts my thoughts. "What?" I ask, getting impatient here. "There is someone else after him too..." she tells. "Wh-? Who?" I start to look around. "She's armed. Closing with another target." she zooms in on her phone. Then I see a brown haired female figure approaching one of the guards. "I take care of her. You monor the bag." I order and start walking faster. "Copy that." she reply.


The unknown female knocks down one of the guards, but it quickly alarmed Rojas and his companion. Rojas and the woman with him starts speed walking away. Damn. The unknown female takes out a gun under her hoodie and loads it. I run right at her and tackle her. "Ah-!" she gasps surprised. We both go flying and thud on backroom's floor where they keep the extra fish. Her gun flies out of her hands, sliding under one of the shelves. She quickly kicks me off of her and tries to get up, but I grab her by the hair and pull. The hair comes off, revealing blonde hair. What the-?! It's a wig! With fast moves she tries to hit me but I block it and get nice hit right on her face. She takes couple steps back and lift her angry eyes on me. "YOU?!" I recognize the woman. It's the German spy, Marie Schmidt. Anger goes thru me and we continue to fighting each other.

In the meantime Dji tries to approach Rojas and his date. But then out of nowhere, a bold man walks up to him and then there is a loud gunshot. A bullet goes thru Rojas and he collapses to the floor bleeding from his stomach. People around starts screaming and running away. The shooter kills one of his guards too. Dji takes cover;"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Rojas got shot!" she tries to contact me thru the earpiece. I'm too busy to answer her right now, so she peeks from her hide to see what's going on. The bold man steals Rojas's bag and starts running. The woman who's been with Rojas this whole time is trying to press the wound, screaming for help. Rojas's shaky hands gives her a phone just before he pass away. "(Y/N)..! A bold man stole the drive. Where are you?!" Dji yells at the earpiece. "Just... Hold on a sec!" I respond while fighting.


Finally I get the perfect elbow punch right in the german spy's face and she falls to the floor. Then I steal the gun she drop earlier and run out the backroom area. Press the earpiece on my ear;"Dji! Where is he?!". "He just ran outside!" I can hear her breathing while she's running too. Fuck! Run as fast as I can outside and I see him. The man is running towards his getaway boat that is end of the port. "Oh no you don't!" I hiss and run after him. Aim right at the man with the gun I stole and pull the trigger. The bullet hits right at the ground, next to the man's feet as a warning. "Freeze!" I try to yell, but for nothing, he starts running other direction. Geez..!

The man climbs up to one of the big containers and I go after him. Now we are running and jumping on these massive metal containers. Luckly Dji comes for help and blocks the man's way. Now he's trapped. Dji and I both point our guns at him each directions. He raises his hands up as surrender. A cold wind goes thru and blows my hair. "Drop your gun." I order. The bold man looks at me with angry eyes, but then he puts the gun down slowly. "Kick it away." Dji says. He does as told. The gun slides and drops down off the container. I take couple steps forward;"Give us the drive.". The man drops the bag right next to his feet and just stares at me.


Dji puts her gun away and approaches the man and the bag. His eyes goes up and down on me. Then he smiles, like he had just recognized me. With quick moves he grabs a knife from his pocket and with his other arm wraps Dji in a headlock. My heart just dropped. "Don't-!" I shout. The man keeps his eyes on me whole time. "Let her go." I order with stern voice. Fuck, if I shoot him, he'll either cut her throat out or use her as a shield. Dji is quick to use her agent skills and free herself from the grib, but the man grabs her by the hair and throws her off the container. "Dji!!" I catch her by the arm just in time. She's now hanging on my hands. Corner of my eye I see the man takes the bag and getting away with the boat. "Fuck!" I curse and pull her to safety.

Both of just watch how he gets further and further away from us. He's too far to shoot. "I'm so sorry (Y/N)!" Dji felt so guilty. "It's alright. Glad you're alright." I smile weakly. I am happy she's safe, but upset he got away with the drive. "What do we do now?" she asks. For a moment I think, then start snapping my fingers as the idea comes;"The woman... The woman Rojas was with! Maybe she knows who the guy is.". We rush back where we last time saw her, but we were too late. The woman gets pushed in backseat of a black car by the german spy. "Hey!" I hiss and we run after but the car starts driving away. "Fucking hell..." I sigh deep. Dji pulls out her phone;"Don't worry, I'll track her down.".


Dji did find them pretty fast. They've got into a hotel near by. We wasted no time and just burst inside the room, guns ready. "Put your hands up!" I shout. The dark haired woman screams out of fear and raise her hands. The german spy pull out her gun, pointing it at me. Now all three of us just stand there with angry look on our faces. "Two against one... Bold." I raise eyebrow at the spy. "I'm not afraid." she hisses with an accent. "Maybe you should." I snap back. Dji and the other woman stares both of us anxious. We give challenging looks to each other. The rage I'm feeling right now as I stare into her eyes. She reminds me how I lost important person of my life. "Do it then." I dare her. She keeps intense stare;"One...", "Two." I continue for her. "Three!" Dji snaps. Me and the spy flinch but no one shoots. "Are you two done now?" Dji asks frustrated. I glance at my friend with questioning look. "Don't you get it? We have a common enemy. We shouldn't be fighting." she says.

I put my gun down, so does Marie. Dji shift her eyes on both of us;"Good... Now we need to figure out how to get the drive.". "The man gave her a phone which tracks the drive." Marie point at the mystery woman. We all turn to look at her. She looks so confused and scared. "Are you Rojas's wife?" I ask. "N-no!" she quickly response. "Girlfriend?" Dji asks. "My name is Graciela Rivera. I am- I was his therapist. I have family of my own in Columbia." she stutter with strong accent. "Give me the phone." Dji reach her hand. Without hesitation she hands the phone. "It has fingerprint lock." Dji sighs. Damn it. "Luis changed it, s-so it opens with mine..." the columbian woman explain and shows us how the phone gets unlocked as she touched it.


 "Anyone of you knows who was the man who stole the drive?" I ask. Marie and Gracie shake their heads. I sigh;"Then we need to use the phone to find it.". All three of us agents start head towards the door. Marie gives a slight nudge on Graciela's shoulder;"C'mon, let's go.". She quickly takes couple steps back;"Oh, I'm not going with you! I'm going home.". "But we can't do this without your fingerprints." I try to reason with her. "That is not my problem." she answer. "Oh it is, if you wanna keep your finger attached to your body." Maire says. She's not wrong... "I'm sorry. I have a family. I'm not an agent, I'm a therapist. And this is really not for me." Graciela waved her finger. I frow at her;"You do realize those same guys are now looking for you? If you go home, you'll bring them with you.". Her face falls a bit, like she had just realized it too. "A-alright..." she nods worrying look on her face.
