ATHENA

By the time we arrived in Moscow, my eyes could barely stay closed with the anxiety coursing through my veins. I looked through the window and the night lights of Moscow shone through the dark night.

We did not have any problems crossing the border. My contact Ruszlo was waiting to smuggle us right into the city. After that, we went to my safe house which is located right in the heart of the city, right under the nose of the government, literally.

My Moscow safehouse is located under the Dom Pravitelsvta Rossiyskoi Federatsii, which is basically known as the Russian White House. Here we are supposed to gather intel and plan how we are going to rescue Arie safely with no complications or dead bodies from Giovanni's men.

Ruszlo opened the double doors which led to a secret passage underground. When I stepped through the doors, he closed them behind me. Suddenly I was standing in a dark corridor with no light in sight.
