NEW FLESH
CHAPTER NINETEEN: MONSTROUS MINDS
BACK at the safe house, Mitch was seated at a table with Josh and Josi, they had been discussing Annikas betrayal and how she had turned out to be Iranian intelligence, it had been both a surprise and a disappointment.
"Do you think Ghost took Stan?" Mitch nodded his head in response to Josi's question, it was the only answer that seemed to make sense, "I'll bet he's with Margo too." he leaned his head into his hand, "shouldn't we go after him?" Josh questioned sitting up slightly, the other man shook his head glancing over his shoulder in Irene's direction, "we're not, we're supposed to write him off just like Margo and Victor." he grumbled.
Josh shook his head, "we're going after them." he spoke with more force this time, making it seem as if they had no choice and it was definite.
Mitch leaned forward, "what's the plan?" Josh smiled happy he had their attention, "I'll distract Irene, you and Josi get Annika's phone and go rescue them, okay?" the two nodded their heads slowly standing up as Josh slid out of his seat and made way for Irene, making sure she had her back turned to them, the two discreetly snatched up the phone and quietly exited the building.
It would be ten minutes later that Irene would realize they were gone and see what they were up to in the city.
Mitch and Josi climbed into a car parked outside- Mitch had snatched the keys from inside the safe house- before taking off to where they knew the car transporting Annika would be passing through, avoiding the brake pedal as they got closer the two cars collided with a loud cracking noise, Mitch and Josi worked as quickly as possible ridding the other car of the two men in the front seat, while Mitch started up the car again Josi worked to untie Annika the process taking but a few minutes.
"Why are you helping me?" Annika's voice was less optimistic now that her cover had been exposed, she knew, either way, she was no longer to be trusted by the CIA, lowering her from her rank in the government agency, "your handler, Ashani, was killed." she seemed somewhat shocked at the statement as Josi continued to work away at her handcuffs, "Hurley was with him. Something happened, we're going after him." he held the door open with his foot gesturing to Josi.
"We need your help." removing her phone from his pocket he held it out to her, "we gotta go." he stated, she stared at the device before quickly snatching it from him, climbing out of the car the three of them began walking down the cobblestone road their pace picking up when they heard sirens getting closer.
"Ashani had their people tracking Minister Behruz's secure cell phone." she scrolled away at her phone screen briefly glancing to look at Josi walking beside Mitch, "so, we find Behruz, we find Hurley." the three of them approached an opening to a larger road the sound of sirens drawing nearer, they could tell they were coming for them, and they knew they had no time to waste.
