"Where is Hanks?" asks Gerard before he punches a terrorist repeatedly.

"Enough. You might kill him before he could talk," protests Jack before he yanks the guy from his grasp.

Gerard rubs his head with a hand, trying to calm down his frustration. Jackal continues his interrogation.

Nina has been quarantined with the others in a hospital. She's dying. And nothing he could do to save her.

Gerard, Mike and Noah have joined M16 to catch the terrorists. Most of M16 in London have suffered the illness. Some of them have died due the virus.

Jack hits the terrorists brutally.

He asks, "Where's Hanks? Where's Chrissy?"

Gerard leaves the interrogation process. He still couldn't believe Chrissy joined Hanks. She was once a dedicated agent.

(What made her change?)

Noah and Mike are talking when he arrive there.

Gerard asks, "Any news?"

Both men shake their heads. All of them know Chrissy has too many experiences to leave any trail behind her. Hanks isn't a rookie agent either.

Mike asks, "Why? Won't be for money? Refused to believe it..."

"Revenge, maybe?" replies Noah.

Both Mike and Gerard stare at him. Noah looks uneasy.

He explains, "I heard rumors. Chrissy's boy was sick but Boss never told her. Until the crisis in Middle East was solved. By that time, the boy had been buried for a week or more."

"Daughter of a...damn her!" curses Mike.

Gerard never likes his Boss that much. Knowing she's capable of separating a mom from her dying son.

That's ruthless!

Noah says, "I know Chrissy has rights for payback. Why here? Not in US?"

Mike and Gerard are silent. No one could answer it. Striking the virus in US would make more sense. Because the US government has let her down.

Why London?

Why striking innocent folks in England?

Gerard says, "Must be something connecting her hatred to this country. Noah, dig up some more. Mike, tell the jackass, I'm going to the hospital."

"She's been quarantined. You couldn't see her."

"I know, Mike. I just need to see her from behind the glass."

The chance to see her is nill. Yet, he wanted to be there if...

Gerard shakes his head. He couldn't bear the idea of she's dying. It felt like half of his heart had died too.

He couldn't get in. No matter how much he threatened or begged. No access for him. The hospital is off limits right now.

Gerard stares to the hospital building.

He whispers, "Wait for me, Nina. I'll be back with the antidote. Wait for me..."

He turns around and starts to walk again. His face is grim. He looks like he's going to murder someone.

*****

Chrissy hides behind some wooden crates when Gerard passes her. He is losing his touch. Doesn't even know she's here.

Never seen him lost control like this. He must really loves that woman. Her heart aches. She cares none for him. Just another man in her past. The only thing left for her is revenge.

She stares to the hospital building.

Chrissy walks confidently into the building. A guard asks for her pass. She flashes her ID card. The guard scans it and it got approval. Chrissy walks into the hospital building.

The name on her card is Dr.M.Lestrange.

There's a real doctor by that name. She worked in this hospital. Last night she went back home to get some clothes.

Chrissy killed her. In her own studio apartment. Stole her ID card, money, clothes and even her car.

It was a quick death. Grabbed her from behind and broke her neck. The innocent victim didn't suffer too long.

"Too much blood on my hands. Nobody could stop me now," whispers her to herself.

Her baby boy's face flashes in her mind.

"Wait for me, sweetie. Mommy would come for you..." whispers her.

She knows her body couldn't take it any further. Heavy insomnia for days. She couldn't sleep well since the death of her son.

Her grief made her do this.

To avenge her boy's death.

She felt jittery because too much caffeine and lack of sleep. Her hands are trembling a little when she swipes her ID card to the elevator.

The door closes and she presses the UG floor.

All the quarantined patients would be there. US government took her boy. She'll take him down.

That boy would be in there. He might die from the virus.

Where's the thrill?

She would take that boy's life with her own hands. Watching when the light fades from his eyes. And maybe, maybe the thirst for blood would cease from her heart.

Chrissy walks with steady steps to the quarantined area. Her white lab coat hides her weapon well. It's a pity she couldn't carry any gun with her. A gun would trigger the metal detector at the front entrance.

Chrissy only brings one weapon with her. It could pass any metal detector. No metal ingredients in it.

She goes to toilet to fetch her weapon, well hidden between her thighs. It's a piece of wood. The tip has been sharpened into a pointy tip, like a small knife.

It's easy for her to kill that boy with bare hands. It would be too easy, painless death. He doesn't deserve an easy death.

She's washing her hands when another female doctor walks in.

The other woman is washing her hands too. She takes a glance at her.

"Are you new here?" asks her.

Chrissy completely ignores her.

The doctor stares to her ID card.

She comments, "Lestrange? Weird. Thought Margo is the only Lestrange here..."

She never saw it coming.

One deadly strike and the friendly doctor went to heaven. Chrissy snarls when she drags the dead body to nearest toilet booth.

She takes the doctor's money and ID card.

Chrissy closes the toilet booth door.

Must act fast.

Before someone found the dead body.

As an agent, she's used to change of plans. No matter how dire the situation turned out.

Chrissy walks out of the toilet like a confident female doctor. Ready to deal with her patients.
