It took us 3 hours to get information out of them. Turns out the second guy is the weak link, so that made it fairly easier. Apparently they're heading to Italy now, so Jordan books us a flight and we travel to Rome. Erin contacted us telling us that the trackers Jordan put on the cars were still activated, however she couldn't tell whether they were still using the cars or not, so they weren't that reliable.
As soon as we get to the hotel in Rome, I get shower and change.
(Tessa's Outfit)
I walk to Jordan's hotel room and knock. He answers and lets me in.
"So what do we do now?" I ask.
"We observe. Erin said they plan on staying for a few days, something about trying to get all the Governments to agree your parents are too dangerous to live." Jordan explains.
"Why the hell would the CIA get input from other countries about what to do with their citizens?" I ask.
"I was thinking the same thing, that's why we need to observe." He says.
"Do you think they'll recognise us if we're spotted?" I ask.
"Me, maybe, you no. You had a face full of make up on, 5 inch heels with a dress and curled hair that made it look darker than it actually is. You look completely different as your normal self." He says.
"So you're saying, I have to observe them alone?" I question.
"Not necessarily, just in public." He says. "You speak Italian right?" He then asks and I nod. "You've got nothing to worry about then."
"Easy for you to say." I mumble and he hands me a small item. I take it and I realise it's an earpiece.
"So we can communicate discreetly. It wouldn't surprise me if they're monitoring every phone in Italy right now." Jordan says and I put the earpiece in. "Testing, testing. Can you hear me?" He asks in his.
"Loud and clear." I respond.
"So they're heading Trevi Fountain." He says and gives me directions on where to go. "It's not far from here so you can walk it."
"OK then. See ya." I say and walk out of his room and out of the hotel.
It must have only taken me a few minutes to get to the fountain and I have to say, I realise why this place is so iconic. It's beautiful. I can't get distracted though, I need to look out for my parents and Woods. I act like any other tourist, admiring the fountain when I hear Jordan start to speak in my earpiece.
"Tessa can you hear me?" He asks.
"Yeah." I say back.
"I see Woods at your 2 o'clock, your dad is with him. However your mom isn't." He informs me.
"Got it." I say back and walk over so I can nearer to them.
"Do you happen to know who attacked us in Russia, Mr Bourne?" Woods asks my dad.
"How am I supposed to know. I'm not the only enemy you have." Dad responds.
"That's true, however I just find it strange they attacked us, when you were there." Woods suspects.
"Like I said, I have no idea who attacked you." Dad replies. "You better not hurt Nicky." He warns.
"We won't...Yet." Woods says very sinister.
I see my dad look in my direction and I put my head down and go back to acting like a normal tourist. I see at the corner of his eye, that he thinks he knows me, but shakes it off. I let out a sigh of relief.
"That was close." I whisper so only Jordan hears me.
"Yeah it was. For a minute, I was sure he recognised you." Jordan replies.
"You and me both. I have my back to them, where are they now?" I ask.
"They're walking away from the fountain, the way they came. There's no cars, so I think they're just walking around, but I've spotted 10 security guys." He informs me.
"Good to know." I reply and leave the fountain.
I follow them for a good 10 or so minutes. Although I can't hear what they're saying, I know they're in deep conversation. Well I say they're, more like Woods is antagonising my dad. I see one of their security guards look over at me, as if inspecting me, so I stop at a handbag shop I am approaching and pretend to be shopping. In the reflection I see him shrug his shoulders and keep walking and after a minute, I leave the shop.
"Jordan, where are they?" I ask, unable to see them.
" Make a left at the end of the road your on, they should be half way down there." He says.
I follow his directions and sure enough there they are, walking side by side, Woods with a gun pressed to my dad's side and all 10 security guards tailing them. I follow them and see them go into a little cafe, so I go around the back. Luckily for me, the storage part of the cafe is on a second level, so I have a birds eye view of the entire cafe.
"Jordan can you hack into the camera's at Piccolo Arancio?" I ask.
"Sure." He responds and I wait a minute before hearing him say, "Done."
I continue watching as they order food and Woods keeps the gun under the table pointed at my dad. I have to give it to him, Woods is smart. I sit up in the storage area for 15 minutes, just watching their lips move. I can make out some of what they're saying by reading their lips, but lip reading isn't really something I thought I would have to learn, so I'm missing a lot of it. I continue watching, just seeing if they do anything. That is until I hear Jordan's voice in my earpiece, almost frantic.
"Tessa, how many guards did I say Woods had with him?" He asks.
"10, why?" I ask.
"I can only see 9 of them." He says.
"What do you mean you can only see 9 of them, none of them have moved." I say back and then I count. Only 9 guards...Where the hell is the 10th then?
That was a question I probably didn't want answered, as I feel a gun barrel press against my head.
"I knew you were following us."
