Accelerating Beyond Limits [HUMAN AU]

THE PARTY AND THE MEET

Finn's POV

As I am scanning each one of the world Grand Prix TV cameras for a match on the one on the oil rig, my computer camera is blocked by an female in a indigo dress and some heels.

She approaches me.

"Why hello." She says when she has arrived at my side. "Hello." | respond with a signature smile. "A Volkswagen Karmann Gaia has no radiator." She states. Knowing exactly why she had said the random sentence, I reply.

"That's because it's air-cooled."

"Great. I'm Agent Shiftwell, Holley Shiftwell from the Tokyo Station. I have a message from London." She
says.

"Not here." I whisper. More loudly, I pronounce, "You must try the canapés on the mezzanine!"

She follows me to an elevator. When the doors close I start the
conversation again.

"So the lab boys analyzed the photo I sent? What did they learn about the camera?"

"It appears to be a standard television camera. They said if you could get closer photos next time, that would be great."

"This was London's message?"

"Oh--no, no. No sir. Um, the oil platforms you were on? Turns out they're sitting on the biggest oil reserve in the world."

"How did we miss that?"

"They'd been scrambling everyone's satellites. The Americans actually discovered it just before you did.
They placed an Agent on that platform, under deep cover..." I stopped. An American Agent. Could it be the woman in black he saw?

"..He was able to get a photo of the person who's running the entire operation." Holley finished. "He?" I asked aloud. Holley gave me a confused look as we exited the elevator. " Yes, 'He' why?" I shook my head. "No reason...so, who is it? Has anyone seen the photo yet?" I asked trying to change the subject, thankfully, she didn't push it.

"No, not yet. The American is here tonight to pass it to you. He'll signal you when he's ready."

"Good...good." I suddenly spot
Zundapp with a couple Gremlins and Pacers.

"Oh no.." I quickly step back to hide myself. Holley follows suit. "What is it?"

She asked concerned. I quickly think.

"Change of plan. You're meeting the American."

"What, me?"

"Those thugs down there were on the oil platform. If they see me, the whole mission is compromised."

"No, no. I'm technical, you see. I'm in Diagnostics. I'm not a field agent."

"You are now." I finish with another signature smirk. Suddenly, my eyes catch a flash of deep cherry red from a crowd. Slowly cruising from a crowd of people, comes the woman in black from the rig.
