"What the hell is going on? Its been four hours since we lost contact with Nadia" Thom complained
Everyone of them looked puzzled, no one could offer any explanation
"Joel, can you trying tracking her comm device?" Victoria asked drumming her fingers on the table
Joel shook her head "Can't...." She grabbed her laptop trying to get a bead on Nadia's last location "...we lost her at the alley between 25th and 27th"
Thom glanced at Victoria "let's check it out"
Victoria took a hold of her blue jacket that was carelessly laying on one of the chairs. As they were about to leave ...
Thom exchanged looks with Victoria "Did you hear that?" He asked her as they both got out their service weapon
Victoria signalled at Joel to hide because she wasn't a field agent. She and Thom cautiously walked towards the door with their guns pointed. The door slowly creaked open, Victoria and Thom fully alerted hid behind a pillar waiting for whoever it was
"Take another step and I - WILL -DROP -YOU" Thom warned, emphasising on his words
Victoria went behind the lady, her weapon aimed at the back of her head
"Who are you?" Thom questioned
The lady slowly put a hands up in the air
"Easy there tiger. My name is Ruth Standford and I have been sent by the CIA to clean up your mess and shut this miserable excuse of an operation down" She explained without any care for the weapons pointed at her
Thom's phone rang
"You might wanna take that" She rolled her eyes
"Victoria?" He called out to her trying to make sure she could handle the situation while he answered the call
"Yeah, take it. I got this covered" she affirmed
The call lasted for about two minutes before it went off.
"Stand down" he ordered Victoria
Standford cat walked her way further into the safehouse
"What the hell was that?" Victoria asked in irritation
Thom pressed his lips together, trying to contain his irritation "Langley"
"Okay?..." An uncertain expression played on her face "...What's up with them?"
"They are shutting us down. Our orders are to return to Virginia and await further instructions"
"Virginia?!" Victoria asked in shock
Joel's angry voice distracted them
"What in the world do you think you are doing?!" Angry Joel questioned Standford who was searching through her laptop
Standford ignored her and continued searching through her laptop
"Hey! Can you hear me? That's mine lady!"
Everyone's attention soon focused on five men and a lady who burst into the safehouse carrying in heavy black cases
"Can someone tell me what is going on here?" Joel asked in frustration
"Move aside dork!" The lady commanded dropping one of the heavy black cases she was carrying at one side with the assistance of one of the men at the other side beside Joel's feet
"Hey Joel" Victoria made a come sign to her
She strode towards them in a hurry
"Thom what is going on?" Joel asked in whispers
