Solo and Simona were getting closer to the yelling voices from inside the building. Fluent Turkish was coming out of their mouths, and Simona was concentrating hard on deciphering each vowel. Solo looked around at the passageway, trying to find a quick exit if they needed it in the future. Nothing but thick stonewalls surrounded them.

"What are they saying?" Solo squeezed Simona's hand.

Simona shook her head. "They are getting ready to fight for the Nazi rebellion..."

Suddenly, Simona gasped loudly, causing Solo to nudge her shoulder. "Quietly! What is it?"

Simona was slow to respond as she constantly stared at the rebels, mouthing the Turkish words. "They only have half the blueprints for the weapon..."

"We already knew that." Solo sighed.

"...but Gaby's late father, Mr Teller, had the blueprints before hand after working with the Nazi's in the war." Simona bit her lip and looked up at Solo. "They say the need to find Mr Teller's daughter to get the rest of the blueprints."

"Gaby," Solo shook his head, "and they know she's in Istanbul. Gaby told us yesterday they knew we had come, so they must know she's here."

"They just said that." Simona pursed her lips, a worried expression now stretched across her face.

Solo looked down at the ground. "We won't tell Gaby."

"What?" Simona whispered, turning her attention sharply to Solo. "Mr Solo, I think she has the right to know..."

"No," Solo looked back up at her, "we won't tell her or Illya. You saw them before. She's trying to prove that she's on our level when it comes to being a secret agent. If she knows, she'll do something stupid, like going to the rebel group and trying to find out more herself..."

"I guess you're right." Simona sighed. "But why not Illya? He cares so much for Gaby..."

"Exactly." Solo interrupted. "If he knew Gaby is wanted by the rebels, he'd immediately get on the super defensive side and probably never let her leave his side."

Simona grinned. "Yeah, he's weird like that."

"Complicated," Solo smiled up at her, a teasing look in his eyes, "is more the word."

They both look up at the rebels again. The meeting seemed to be nearly over as the rebel speaker was no longer speaking. Simona took Solo's hand, and they made their way through the long passageway once more to get far away from danger. Although, they knew that was impossible. Danger was part of their job. But avoiding death was a part of their job too.
