Hansen was the first one to wake up.
"Ughh..." he groaned.
Hansen looked around. There was bottles galore around the living room, along with some uneaten pastries.
"Rise and shine."
Johnson was standing near the couch. Hansen slowly sat up.
"Today's the day we catch the terrorist."
"Can it wait a few hours?"
Johnson checked his watch.
"We can wait for two hours, but then we need to go."
"Fine."
Hansen finally got up, slightly stumbling.
"Is there any coffee still?"
"Just put some on to brew."
Hansen nodded in approval as he stepped over Vlad, who was lying down on a pillow, next to a half-eaten chebureki.
"You'll be glad to know I've got a layout of the hotel."
Hansen nodded, his eyes fixed to the coffee machine.
"Here's the plan: I go in through the back, you go in through the front, and Vlad goes in through the fire exit on the second floor.
"Sounds good."
-----------------------------------------------
"Queen to C3."
The phone registered the command and the virtual chess piece moved to the spot on the board. Another chess piece, a rook, moved to place the king in check.
"Check." Comrad said as Tori scoffed.
Tori moved a bishop down, only for the AI to take it.
"Hah!" Tori yelled out as she took the bishop.
Comrad took the bishop with his queen.
"I believe that is check mate."
Marko, peering from behind Tori's shoulder, grinned.
"I told you I taught him well."
-----------------------------------------------
"Splacibo!"
Tamara and Randy waved at the shopkeeper goodbye, with some soup in a bag, all while the man hid behind the counter, peeking eyes out just enough to see the bear.
"So, what did he say this was?" Randy asked.
"I dunno. Guy just shoved it to me and told me to have a fantastic day. At least, that's what I thought he said..."
They found a bench to sit on, with Rocky settling on lying down on the grass nearby.
"Ya know, for a guy who was shooting at me, you seem to be alright."
Randy scrambled to defend himself.
"L-look, I'd never shoot a-any one, ever."
Tamara laughed a bit before lightly bumping his shoulder.
"I'm just messing with ya."
Randy nervously smiled as he took a spoonful of the soup.
"Potato soup." He said quietly.
The two sat without anything to do. As they ate, they watched as the sun set.
"You know, if I wasn't mistaken, I heard the first woman tell me that I'm a ghost."
Randy nearly choked on the soup.
"They're crazy!"
"That's what I thought."
"I mean, you're not even transparent!"
Tamara giggled as they watched the street.
"You up for a desert of some sort?"
"Sure. Should you haunt the bakery here to get some free pastries?"
The two laughed it up before a car sped by fast.
"Jeez, someone's in a hurry..." Tamara said, slightly annoyed.
"None of our business though."
"So, you were saying something about pastries and scaring the crap out of townspeople?"
-----------------------------------------------
The car came to a stop nearby the hotel.
"Alright." Johnson said. "Hansen, you go in through the front and act natural. I'll bust in through the back of the second floor and Vlad will cover outside. I doubt she will jump from the windows, but we can't leave that open."
"Do I get gun?" Vlad asked, seeming more like an impatient child than a mafia boss.
"No, Vlad." Hansen said. "However, you do get a taser."
The senior CIA agent handed Vlad the taser, who displayed a wide grin.
"We storm the place in ten minutes, so prepare yourselves." Johnson said. "She could be armed and dangerous."
-----------------------------------------------
"Movie night!"
Matilda burst into the room, popcorn bag in hand. She was followed by Tori, who had a DVD case in hand.
"What're we watching?" Ell asked.
"Galaxy Battle 4."
"That old movie?" Matilda asked.
"It's a classic!" Tori said.
They scurried onto the beds and started the movie.
I know.
1) I'm very late submitting this. I have been busy transferring to a US college.
2) Only 600 words. Again, pretty busy.
3) I've been getting 4 hours max of sleep, due to my wisdom teeth being removed, insomnia, and more factors.
In conclusion, I have been trying my best to update this story as fast as possible. In the meantime, as a make up, I am working on a Star Wars fan fiction that is both an original creation and my take on 'how to improve the Sequel Trilogy'. I'll be submitting the first chapter tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience and, again, I apologize for the lack of updates.
