I hold a chloroform cloth up to my target's face. He slumps against me, and I drag him backstage. I pull out my bag again, and reach for the walkie-talkie inside.
"I got him," I say.
"Good job, Zarah," Lyra answers back, "We'll be there shortly."
I grab rope and tie Target's hands together. Then I pull his file from my bag, now that I have time to read it.
Trench Andersen
Age: 21 (Born February 17, 2158)
Occupation: Chemist, Pharmacologist
Status: Alive; Cured
Details: Anderson is high up in the INCS, and has worked closely with Ruvien Maxweld. Even before the Rage, Anderson and Maxweld were acquainted.. Anderson is good friends with his son, Airiem Maxweld (see MAXWELD, 78) . The Base plans to capture Anderson, and obtain information from him.
The Base has files on almost everyone. Normally I'm not allowed to know too much information during a mission, but Lyra told me that this info would be good later on.
Just then, Lyra walks through the door that leads outside, followed by Hunter. Lyra only has a few scratches, a light one on her cheek, probably caused by fingernails of an unlucky victim, and one on her arm that seems more painful. Hunter, though, doesn't look as good. His dark hair is matted with blood, and he has a black eye. Bruises dot his body, and blood seeps from unknown wounds.
"Glad to see you're okay," Lyra says. Hunter isn't as polite.
"What the hell, Zarah?" He yells, "You could have costed us the whole mission! Sneezing, really? We've taught you to contain stuff like that!"
"Hey, knock it off," Lyra says, "It wasn't her fault. Sometimes those things just happen,"
Hunter quiets; he knows it is no use fighting against Lyra. She practically runs the entire rebellion.
"Let's get this guy back to the Base," Lyra says.
