A Beautiful Weapon

Chapter 1

I just want to help her.

I also believe in the cause. To have someone like her in Russia, this could change the world hierarchy. If this project really does succeed, America wouldn't even know what hit them. They have no chance of winning. That's for sure.

And that is why I must help her.

I was born an American. I used to love it. I used to believe that America was the best country in the world. But I was wrong. Ever since I joined the CIA, I've realized what makes America 'great', and it's not pretty. The American flag is dripping with blood of the ones that were killed. Not for a crime they'd committed, but because they were collateral damage. I don't even know if they were collateral damage. Were my little girls? My wife? The meticulously planned terrorism that they blamed on the Taliban, but was actually executed by the CIA to make the president step down?

America is ruled by the CIA. And the CIA is corrupted, by money, by greed, and it's despicable. Since America has been on the top of the world hierarchy for a long time, the CIA rules the world. They decide who will lead the world, meaning the president. If they don't want someone to become president, trust me, they will do everything to thwart them. They can dig up dirt about them and 'accidentally' leak it to the press. Despite all this, they act like they're some fucking saint. In comparison with that, Russia is much more gallant and straightforward. People know they're brutal, but they do it so that Russia doesn't lose their place in the world.

I believe in a peaceful and just world. That cannot be achieved while America stays on top. America must be dragged down. And they will be, it's not a maybe or someday. They will be, all thanks to the girl, Beatrice.

Beatrice will lead us to a beautiful world. Only then can I feel safe enough to settle down with a new family and be happy.

I was approached by the KGB shortly after my family died. So now, I'm a double agent. Most of the time I'm a doctor in the CIA, but I secretly work for the KGB. My true loyalties are to Russia.

I'm staying in Russia for a few weeks, but my passport doesn't say that. I'm supposed to be in Hawaii, on vacation.

I was alerted of her existence a few weeks ago. She's refusing any kind of food, they said. Since I'm quite good at dealing with patients who struggle from eating disorders, especially anorexia, they came to me. The only difference between her and the other patients that I've treated before, well. The first obvious difference is her age. My previous patients were mostly teenagers, and people in their 20's, 30's, never a two-year-old.

Babies not eating, it's actually not that uncommon. It's worrisome for parents, and most would be at a loss at what to do. However, in most of these cases, it's not necessarily that these toddlers have a physical problem, it's more about the power dynamic in the house. By refusing to eat normal food and only eating things they like, such as chocolate, the baby has power over their parents. Babies can be quite manipulative.

And then there's actual picky eaters, who physically find it hard to eat certain foods. Some of it stems from autism, some, from other issues. But even they have some 'safe food' that they can eat. It could be yogurt, peanut butter, or even lettuce.

But this girl, Beatrice, she doesn't eat anything. There's nothing physically wrong with her. She was eating just fine until a few weeks ago. I would say its psychological. I'm meeting her today for the first time. I don't like how the clients who asked me to treat her talks to me. It's like their toilet broke down, and I'm the plumber. Here to fix it so that they can use it again from tomorrow. They seem to think that the problem would go away in a few days. But if my suspicions are right, and her problems are psychological, its's going to take much longer than that. Especially for a toddler to have such problems.
