My Little Russia

My back pressed against the wall, my chest pressed against him. His heartbeat matched mine and he kept his body still. The pistol in my hand held steady over his shoulder. Outside this dark closet, the three most powerful men in the Red Mafia were meeting. Our job was to gather recall and bring them down. But now it looked like they might get us first.
"So you wanna kiss now or later?" He asked
"Excuse me?" I whispered. 'Kat, play along, you're undercover.' Alex said in my ear. "Do you not see that I'm holding a gun?" was my next answer.
"We're Russian. Love and war are our best things. Come on beautiful, this may be our last time alive together. If those guys get us.." He trailed off, running one hand up my side, placing the other on my neck. He brought my face to his with his thumb. He leaned in to my ear. "I have your girl Alex." He told my coms. I tried to wiggle away and get my gun on him, but he stuck a needle in my neck first. "Come get her." He whispered as the needle emptied it's venom into my neck. I blacked out, but not before I heard him smash my only link to Alex under his boot.
