Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 17: A Moment of Peace

"So basically Harrison's the one who put Russia and America at each others throat?" Miru asked JiU.

"Yeah. That bastard pull one great stunt here." SuA replied in JiU's stead.

"But he must not be working alone. He must have ties with the Ultranationalist." Nana added into their argument.

"So, what's the question you have for Anya?" Calintz asked JiU.

"Whatever intel she has on Harrison's. We got nada now." JiU lit her cigarette. Jurina asked one from JiU.

"I have none. But I know where we can start hunting." Petrova responded.

"Where?" Dami asked Petrova.

"Kremlin" Petrova replied.

"Fuck...." Calintz and Jurina muttered in unison.

-

"Nobody crazy enough to storm into Kremlin. Place's a fucking stronghold!" Jurina grunted to her comm.

"I know, but that's the only place we can get information." Sayaka replied.

"I am really against this." JiU whispered to Jurina in anxiety.

"You and me both, kid. Let's go." Jurina and JiU started their infiltration into the Kremlin. Sayaka acted as their overwatch, watching their every move.

They navigate carefully, using every cover they can get to reach into the server room. JiU hid a bug device on the server, and they both made their way to the President room.

"Okay. Security down. You got 30 seconds." Sayaka reported.

JiU carefully opened the door and made her way inside with Jurina. Jurina signalled JiU to guard the door while she installed a trojan horse on the president's computer.

"Shit! Center! Incoming!" JiU whispered through her comm. She jumped up and held herself on the dark corner of the ceiling.

"Go hide. I'll do it remotely. Just stick close to the computer to maintain connection." Sayaka took over the installation remotely. Jurina waved her hand and completely disappeared.

Three guards came into the room, patrolling. JiU held her breath, hoping that the guards wouldn't look up. As the guards went through the door, the drop of JiU's sweat fell on top of the guard. The guards looked up.

"Fuck!!" JiU readied to jump onto the guards. But they just looked up in confusion. The guard wiped the drop off and went out of the room. Once the coast is clear, JiU dropped down to the floor.

"You okay?" Jurina asked JiU.

"What happened?" Are they blind? I was on top of them and they were looking straight at me." JiU asked Jurina.

"I pulled a mirage on you. All they saw was the ceiling." Jurina patted JiU's shoulder.

"Close call, Center. Backdoor's up. Get out of there. Bakemono and Yan Wang waiting at the rendezvous point (RV) for you." Sayaka reported.

They made their way to the RV for extraction. Rina and Handong were waiting for them in a car. They entered the car and drove away.

"How's Kremlin?" Handong asked.

"Big, and awesome. Pity, I've always wanted to see it." Jurina chuckled.

"After all of this done, let come here with Cal for vacation." Bakemono quipped.

"A tad warmer than Siberia, but it'll do." Jurina smiled.

"Good job, ladies. Antonio will be working on the data. I've made pirozhki and shchi." Calintz spoke into the comm.
