<< Last callback for flight 148. >>

_ I really don't understand, boss.

_ As easy as pie chris! Since from the beginning, they make us go crazy, they infiltrate our networks without our knowing it, so we will do the same. We're gonna infiltrate Jake's traffic.

_ But chief, for that, we must ask for a search warrant, have a team that will serve as our ear and help.

_ I'll take care of all this, I'll talk to Woods.

I leave my office and go to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror, my hair is a bit loose and my face looks tired, little dark circles under my eyes, otherwise nothing too noticeable or alarming.

I rinse my face, apply ointment, readjust my ponytail (without combing them) I can be relieved, no one will call me weak, as a chef, I must not falter because I missed a night of sleep.

Besides, I have to get used to spending sleepless nights because I can assure you that it will be one of the many nights among many others that await me.

Oops! I totally forgot about Brian, he's a big boy so he will know how to handle himself.

I turn around in my office and then remember to talk to Woods. I walk to his office.

I open the door as usual now without knocking, and sit on the chair in front of him.

_ Miss Hall, still disciplined, what are you doing in my office? As far as I know you have to find a solution to track down Nikonov.

_ This is exactly what I'm talking to you about.

_ I'm listening to you.

~ A few minutes later ~

On the way to my office, I am of course happy inwardly, to be able to implement the fabulous and brilliant idea of ​​my brain (me.)

_ So how did it go ?

_ At woods, everything went well, he will request a search, put the qualified people and the equipment required for our operation at our disposal.

We still have to plan the perfect plan.

***

I'm in the interrogation room, talking to a drug dealer. This one is not long in coming. Chris and Woods are in the room where we are separated by a window. And that it's impossible to see someone through it.

_ Hello miss he said trying to be flirtatious, I roll my eyes, he really thinks it's going to work?

He sits.

_ Well I'm not going to beat around the bush, I need your help with something.

_What is your name beautiful young lady?

_ that does not concern you.

_ A tigress, I love it.

This time, I roll my eyes.

Why is it up to me to chat with this guy?

The answer is the wind. Okay

_ Are you ready to listen to me now?

_ Anything you want princess.

Urghh, disgusting his princess.

_ As I said, before, I need your help, we will sort of talk about business.

He relaxes on the wooden chair and stares at me, he tests my patience and it annoys me. I make a superhuman effort to calm myself down before he loses the use of speech.

_ Speak, I'll see if I'm interested he said haughtily.

He dares to give me an order, sorry but there, I lost my patience. I move dangerously close to him.

_ Wow princess calm down, I know I'm delicious.

With his frail body, and his head of AIDS, he thinks he's appetizing, he looked at himself in a mirror.

I put my hands on his neck and put pressure on it.

_ You ... scare me ... there, ... I manage ... more ... well ... to breathe.

Chris leaves the room from where he was, and comes to join me.

- Chief, you mustn't do this, please stop.

I don't know, he takes my arms off that brainless's neck.

_ Never again, you will speak to me in this tone, we are not in a seedy bar where it is you who makes the law, here it is me who directs, Pige?!

_ Yes, by ... donation, he answers.

_ Here I like it, let's come back to our main subjects, I want you to integrate me with my team in a drug network in ...

***

Thanks to his knowledge (even if we have plenty of it) we will blend in without any problem, and like any good salesperson, it is in exchange for something: we will say that he helped us in a mission, and he will have a discount on his prison sentence.

Today, I have the right to rest because tomorrow will be the big day.

Leaving the brigade, I say goodbye to everyone.

It is 4 p.m. The time to get home will be perfect for the hours of sleep that I have taken the time to carefully calculate.

After hours of driving, I arrive at the hotel, I open my door with a key, I immediately spot Brian lying in the chair.

I take slices of pizza that were in his bowl.

***

We're going in groups of 4 to different airports, so I'm going with Green, Woods and one whose name I don't know.

__ Last callback for flight 148.

__ It's ours, let's go.

I walk to the plane, they check my ticket and let me get on.

I'll sit in the back.

Little by little sleep begins to win me over.

Good rest before action-packed days.

~ A few hours of flights ~

- Bienvenido, señora, por favor, presénte sus papeles para ver si todo está en orden?

(TR: - welcome, ma'am, please show your papers to check if everything is in order.)

- Por supuesto que sí.

(Tr: - of course)

-Gracias

(-Thank you)

After checking my papers, getting my luggage in the hold, I leave the airport and try to take a taxi that will direct me to the address Woods sent me, we will get there separately.

I'm looking for a taxi.

__ Taxi!

I stop one.

- ¿Puedes dejarme in casa platypus bogota?

(Tr: Can you drop me off at casa platypus bogota?)

- if undergo

(tr: yes go up!)

The time to arrive, I put my head on the window and watch the landscape parade. It's been so long since I haven't thought about myself, my life, all these changes ...

My head goes back to all those moments of recklessness, happiness, smile. My life was far from perfect, there were always ups and downs, but we always made it ...

- Señorita, Llegamos

(tr: Miss, we have arrived.)

I give him his money and get out of the vehicle, taking my luggage.

At first glance it is not a five star building like the hotel I live in.

It's a bit archaic, weird, anyway, I have to find the room number.

- Hola, vengo de papel.

Hi, I am coming from papel (Woods nickname in Mexico).

- OK, habitación 66, she whispers

(tr: Okay, room 66)

I take the stairs, my feet are starting to really tire, it's exhausting with all this luggage, I'm only in room 45.

Why there is no elevator like in California. I wipe the sweat from my face and land on a bar that supports the stairs.

After a few minutes break, I resume my walk. Finally, I arrive at my destination.

Out of breath, I knock on the door.

- Looks like you've been through the same thing as us.

- Of course ... Can I pass?

- Yes, excuse me.

I enter the room, it is completely banal, there is only one table, two archaic armchairs, a television from ancient times, a bed, a bathroom.

- Woods, I hate this room.

- My dear Hall, whether you like it or not, this is where you will live during the operation. The Mexican drug captain will come visit us in 4 hours.

He will come at 6 o'clock in the evening. Okay.

- I'll leave you, I'm going to take a nap, the stairs I took have absorbed all my energy.

I take off my shoes, take off my jacket, let myself fall on the bed and dark immediately.

***

The sound of my voicemail wakes me up. I take my phone and look at the message, without astonishment, it's my mother. Since our argument, she keeps calling me or sending me messages, it starts to annoy me.

When I put my phone down, I hear two voices, these people are whispering.

I stand up quietly while walking on tiptoe, I place my ear so that I can listen to this conversation, listening at the doors is not good, but I don't care.

- This woman annoys me and I have to obey her like a dog. Whereas normally, and according to the government, I am the leader.

That voice is Chris's. I knew it wasn't clear how he was obeying me, oh asshole.

- You must obey him, because it is the high-ranking officers who decided it so.

Ah, that's Woods' voice.

- Why ?! Damn that annoys me!

- Calm down, she can wake up. This is because she is intelligent and has successfully completed all of her missions. Besides, she had to be the captain but since she is too young ...

You see no.

- We made him lieutenant. Finish Chris.

- Effectively.

There you have had the answers to your questions, at least I know you're not a guy you can trust, luckily I'm wary of everyone. But you are going to pay me for it, and that in not long, don't worry.

I get back on the bed and pretend I just woke up.

I go to the kitchen and see them.

- So what are you doing here?

They jump.

- Why are you afraid?

- Uh ... No nothing. They answer in chorus.

- Okay.

I take a glass of water, drink it and leave the kitchen.

- By the way, hurry up, the captain is coming in a few minutes, he just sent me a message. Informs Woods.

I go in the shower, rinse my face.

I need to take a shower, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable in my clothes.

I get out of the shower, there is a knock on the door.

I wanted to open but Chris is ahead of me.

I sit down on an armchair. When he comes home he looks around like he's looking for someone and finally his eyes fall on me.

- As we meet again Faith.

- Well then.
