I Have The Girl

Nikolai drove down the highway disturbed by what Sydney told him. His handsome face revealed his turbulent emotions and he was extremely anxious. Alexi is coming to Kazan because of the little angel. Unbelievable! I need to do something to prevent him from finding Merri!

 Lifting the console he grabbed a pack of cigarettes.Once I secure Sydney's mistress I will think about how to handle Alexi. I need this bargaining chip.

 He was deep in thought when his phone rang. His contact told him the plane from Shanghai would be landing in an hour. The location was a small private airstrip outside Kazan.

On the plane, Gao WeiWei was unconscious and one of the men unbuttoned her blouse. He rubbed his large palm on her chest. "Fuck, I thought they were fake!"

 A burly man across from him kicked his leg, "Get your hands off her. The Boss said not to touch the girl."

 The red haired man licked his lips and his eyes were glued to WeiWei's full breasts. He quipped, "Unless one of you pricks tell him how would he know? The bitch is passed out from the chloroform." He held a strand of her hair to his nose, "Damn she smells good. I don't mind sharing, we could all have a go."

 The burly man growled, "I said get your hands off her. I'm not going to say it again. We will be arriving soon."

 The man reluctantly removed his hand. "I can wait. Do you think Meng Po will really turn her over to that asshole?"

 "We will know when we arrive at the Club. He didn't tell me his plan."

 Nikolai arrived at a unpaved road by the airstrip. He could see the runway through the chain link fence. There are no lights and the area was deserted. This should work. He parked and got out of the car. Opening the trunk he took out a sniper rifle and stuck a pistol in his pocket. He put the sniper rifle together then leaned on the car and lit a cigarette. 

Blowing out a thin stream of smoke he considered how to deal with the situation. According to the intel, four men got on board the private plane with a girl. But how many men will meet them at the airport?

 His question was answered when only one black SUV pulled into the small airport. Two men got out of the vehicle and were talking to a man in a uniform who came out of what looked like an office. The man looked at his watch then spoke to the two gangsters. He returned to the office and suddenly the airstrip lit up.

He walked back out and was pointing to the right when one of the men laughed then slit the man's throat. The man in the uniform fell to the ground and they dragged the body into a clump of bushes.

 A low laugh escaped Nikolai's mouth, that is convenient. As they dragged the dead man, Nikolai picked up the rifle. Looking through the scope he aimed then rapidly fired. The two gangsters were quickly killed with clean shots to the back of the head.

 He wiped off his fingerprints then disassembled the gun and hid it under the cover in the trunk. If the rest of the mission could be this easy I will see my little angel in a few hours. 

Nikolai jumped the fence and lazily walked to where the three corpses were lying by the bushes. He took a baseball cap off one of the men and put it on then searched their bodies. Reaching into their coats he took their weapons then wallets and phones but no car keys. Must have left them in ignition.

 He dragged the bodies further into the darkness then headed towards the SUV. Nikolai lit another cigarette and thought about Alexi arriving in Kazan. A crease formed between his eyebrows. If it were any other man who wanted my woman I could just eliminate him...why does it have to be Alexi?

 While he was thinking about Alexi arriving in the morning, he saw a plane making its descent. He got into the driver seat and called Mikael, "The plane landed. Have your men go to the warehouse."

Nikolai pulled the baseball cap down and patiently waited.

 He was calm as the three men approached. A tall muscular man was carrying a woman followed by the two other men.

 One of the men got into the passenger seat as another tossed the girl into the backseat then stepped into the car.The last man opened the other door and got in pushing the unconscious girl out of the way.

 The man in the passenger seat looked at Nikolai. "Go."

 Nikolai pulled out onto the road and took a left then drove to the highway. When he was driving East the man was tense and held the gun in his pocket. "Where are you going?"

 He could sense the man was suspicious and calmly replied, "To meet the Boss."

The man took out the gun and held it to Nikolai's head, "This isn't the way to the Club."

 "He said to go directly to the warehouse where the exchange is to be made. If you doubt me, call him." He put his left hand into his pocket, if he answers I will have to kill you now rather than later. "It is uncomfortable to drive in this weather with a gun at my head."

 Without removing the gun he ordered the red haired man, "Mo, call."

 The phone rang a few times then a woman answered. Mo recognized the woman's voice, "Talia, why are you answering the Boss' phone? Where is he?"

 "Not here. He rushed out of here about ten minutes ago with Baldy. He left his phone on the desk"

 "Did he say where he was going?"

 Her red lips curled up into a sneer and she laughed, "Do you think he tells me anything?"

 He hung up, "Boss isn't at the Club."

 Nikolai repeated, "I'm telling you he went to the warehouse."

He shook his head, "If you delay...well...you know his temper."

 The man put the gun down, "Go to the warehouse." 

When they arrived at the warehouse Nikolai remained calm and pulled into a parking space. The man in the passenger seat glanced around at the empty lot. "What the fuck! Where the hell is the Boss?"

He pointed the gun at Nikolai and barked, "You better have an explanation!"

Nikolai had a slight smile as he calmly pushed the gun to the side. "I don't know any more than you do. Boss Po told me to meet the plane and bring you to this address."

The whir of engines could be heard as Meng Po's red Porsche followed by two black SUVs entered the parking lot. The man in the passenger seat breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his legs out of the car.

Meng Po got out of the Porsche and had an ugly expression. He stormed over to them and kicked the man in the chest.

 Witnessing his brother spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man in the backseat jumped out and rushed to help him. Nikolia took the opportunity to shoot the man still seated in the backseat and quickly turned the steering wheel.

Meng Po and the two men turned at the same time when they heard the screeching tires. Meng Po bellowed, "Sergi!"

As the car passed them he clearly saw Nikolai. He clenched his fists, "Fucking bastard!"

He motioned to the two SUVs, "Get him!"

Suddenly the exit was blocked and men on the roof aimed their guns at Meng Po. He pushed the red haired man in front of him then jumped into his sports car as the policemen opened fire.

 His custom built sports car was equipped with bulletproof glass so the bullets couldn't penetrate the glass. Cursing Nikolai he crashed through the fence to escape, I never thought the cunning bastard would involve the police!

 He pressed his leather shoe on the accelerator, chasing Nikolai's car down the highway at top speed.

 Nikolai saw Meng Po in his rear view mirror and narrowed his eyes. Dammit! 

He cut acroos two lanes then swerved off the highway. Familiar with the industrial area he drove down a road with broken streetlights then into an alley. He came out on a side street then took a sharp right then left to elude Meng Po.

 When he disappeared from sight Meng Po slammed his hand on the steering wheel. I will fucking kill you when I find you! I want my fucking shit back!

 Nikolai's lips curled up into a faint smile as he drove through the area lined with factories and warehouses.He drove to a warehouse owned by his friend Igor. He stopped the SUV and got out and opened the large metal door. 

 After he parked the vehicle safely inside, he called Igor. "Have someone drive the car I left by the airstrip to your warehouse on Volga Ave."

 "You got the girl?"

 "Yeah, but Mikael's men weren't able to capture Meng Po."

 "What about the stolen artifacts?"

 "I'm sure the police have them. Hurry up and bring the car."

 Nikolai walked over to the SUV and looked at the girl unconscious on the back seat. He called Sydney. "I have the girl."
