I'm standing alone at the alley Nick got killed. The cobblestones of Paris under my bare feet feels cold. It's so quiet. "(Y/N)..!" Nick whimpers behind me. I turn around and see he is holding a wound that is bleeding badly out of his chest. "Nick!"I run up to him. "W-What happened?! Who did this to you?!" I panic. He collapse on his knees. "No, no, no. Nick! I'm not going to loose you again!" tears start to form on my eyes. The blood messes up my hands. "Just tell me what to do!" I yell. He looks me in the eyes, words are coming out of his mouth, but I can't hear anything he's saying. "Nick! Stay with me. I'll get you out of here..!". The life disappears from his eyes and his body gives in. "Nick-!". My eyes shoots open;"H-huh?!". "Are you alright?" Graciela is sitting right next to me, having her hand gently on my shoulder. "Y-yeah..." I shake my head and sit properly.

For a moment I look around. We are on a plane, on our way to Morocco where the bold man is heading with the drive. It was just a dream... I let out deep sigh and put my head down my hands. "Do you want to talk about it?" the columbian woman asks. "About what?" I ask. She looks at me, tiny bit worried;"You had a bad dream... You kept muttering 'Nick'.". Shit. "Oh..." I lean back on my seat. She waits patiently for me to speak. Can't look at her right now, so I just stare forward;"..He was my frie –a partner, who died on our mission few days back in Paris.". Her hazel eyes gets filled with compassion;"I'm so sorry.". Tilt my head a bit towards her;"It happens.", try to play it cool. "But I do feel guilty of his death." I admit. "Why is that?" she frows. Marie is sitting near us, next to Dji. She pretends she don't hear us, but listens everything with side ear. "Guess I need to pick appointment for you someday..." I smile at the therapist. She lets out gentle chuckle.

Finally we land to the Morocco's warmth. The phone Rojas gave Graciela shows us the man with the drive is at local market. "I see him." Dji says thru earpiece. We are separated around the busy market. "I follow him." I tell while maintain my eyes on the target. Dji is watching security cameras thru her laptop. Marie and Graciela are sitting one of the cafés, watching from the phone where the drive is. I see the same bold man walking few meters away from me. He then walks past other man and sneakly hands the drive to him. Press the earpiece against ear;"Brush-past?" I ask. "Yeah..." Dji says. "They think the are so sneaky." I roll my eyes. "Glad we are smarter." Dji smiles while tapping the keyboards for better view. The whole place is so crowded, people keep bumping to each other here and there. I can't loose this guy!

I keep following the man who has the drive, keeping some distance so I won't blow my cover. "He got company." Dji sees there are some guards with him. "Of course..." I whisper to myself. Guess I need to take them down one by one. I sneak on one of them from behind and knock them down without other seeing. Quickly push their body hide behind some mattresses that are hanging on a hanger. "One down." I inform to my earpiece. "Three more to go." Dji says. I start to look around all the possible guards. Then I see one of them standing on a roof, looking down at the people. "There is one on the roof." I tell the others. "I'm on it." Marie informs. Gracie stays close to Marie incase anything happens. The man with the drive keeps walking like he has no idea he had lost some of his guards by now. How do I get to him without him noticing?

Then the idea hits me. Without people seeing I grab some green fabric from one of the selling stall and wrap it around me, covering my whole body and face. Dressed up like one of the local women here. Only my eyes are shown. I follow one of the guards, but he suddenly turns to left, this very narrow path. What the-? But I keep following him. "We got the man on the roof." Marie informs. "Great. Two more." Dji says. "I'm following one of the guards right now." I whisper. Soon the path ends, leading me into more spacious place that seems to be dead end. There's no one in here. Where did he go? Then somebody walks behind me. "Women aren't allowed in here." he hisses. Quickly I turn around to face him;"Oh...". It's the guard. "Oh, my bad..." I giggle."Unless..." then he grabs me by the wrist, lust in his eyes. Without thinking I quickly turn around and throw this big man over my shoulder. Sand dusts under him as he falls to the ground. He grabs a gun, but I kick it out of his hand and we start fighting by hands. This guy is strong but slow. There's perfect opening in his defense, so I climb up to his back, wrap my legs around his neck and use my body force to make him fall down. As we both fall down, my knee lands heavily on his throat. He's out...
