Irina's Russian Federation #5

Kody, I'm alive, but band is eating my brain right now. I'm having nightmares about thousands of little circles rising up from the charting paper and eating me.
 
I tried posting a few days ago, but for some reason I have problems posting and all I get is that stupid board message. So I go frustrated and gave up...
 
I'm leaving on Saturday and I'll be gone for four weeks. I don't know if I'll get to post any, so everyone have a good rest of the summer!
(at the rate things are going, I don't think i'll miss much ;) )
 
Yeah I don't think so either. Now that school's out...everyone has a different schedule. I've been too busy working lately and by the time I get home I'm too tired to care....

:asleep:
 
*Ethan waits in the kitchen while Katya and Crys chat in the living room. He moves to open a drawer casually, and a knife suddenly JUMPS out at him.*

Ethan: AHHH!

Crys: Ethan? You okay?

Ethan: Uh....*pulls knife out of wall.* Yeah, I'm fine.

*Turns on iPod and listens to Evanescence, impatient for August 7th/8th when they're new single is released*

*In Living Room*

Crys: What's this all about?

Katya: I was hoping you'd tell me.

Crys: What do you mean?

Katya: Irina called me a week ago telling me you would visit me asking me about...a bear. But she said I would have to contact you first. So I did.

*Crys throws in front of Katya detailed pictures of the bear*

Crys: Does this mean anything to you?

Katya *smiles*: Our mother gave this doll...well...a doll that looked just like this, to Elena when she was two. But she....was so sweet, she looked up at Irina and handed it to her. My pet had just ran away, and Irina felt bad for me, so I ended up with the bear.

Crys: So, it's supposed to symbolize...family?

Katya: Maybe. But I don't see the relevance now.

Crys: If Irina gave it to you when you were children, then how did she end up giving it to me yesterday?

Katya: When my sister was eighteen and was recruited by the KGB, she took it with her to the training camp. I had no idea she kept it after so long.

*Crys' cell phone rings*

Crys: Hello?

Kris: It's me. I've finished my analysis on the doll.

Crys: And?

Kris: You're...um....you're prob'ly gonna wanna sit down for this. *she sits, listens..and hangs up.*

Katya: What is it? Was it your tech agent?

*Crys nods slowly.*

Katya: Well, what did she say?

Crys: Imbedded in the stuffing were two vials of human tissue. Kris extracted them, analyzed them, and found that they were of me and Ethan.

Katya: What's the significance?

Crys: They're partially identical. We're half siblings.

Katya: Hmm. That's pretty significant.

Crys *gets closer to Katya and whispers*: We can't tell him. He can never know.


*In the kitchen, Ethan bops his head to the music and flips through a magazine*

Ethan *yells way too loud*: You guys done in there?!
 
My last contribution to the mission for a month:

*cate stands in the cemetery, waiting for her contact. She's surprised when Sark walks up to her.*

Cate: Seriously? You're my contact?

Sark: Yes, unfortunately. Irina didn't tell me it would be you I was meeting. She just gave me the money and the location. My day just went downhill.

Cate: Mine too. Let's get this over with.

Sark: Also unfortunately, Irina doesn't trust me to bring her the package. She wants you to come with me and hand it to her personally.

Cate: You must think I'm out of my mind if I'm going to get in a car with you.

Sark: There are others who will be after the package shortly. It's either get shot again, or come with me.

Cate: How do you know I got shot?

Sark: Are you ever going to learn that Irina knows everything?

Cate: Fine. I'll come. But give me your gun.

*Sark hands her his gun and they get in his car to go meet with Irina*
 
*pulls Ethan's headphones off*

Crys: You'll lose your hearing if you keep that up.

Ethan: Yeah yeah...whatever. You done?

Crys: Yep. *looks back at Katya* I'll be in touch.

Ethan: So what did she say?

Crys: That bear is just a family heirloom...that's all she knows.

Ethan: *pause* Okay. Where are we off to now?

Crys: I've gotta get back to HQ. Plus I need to see where all the other agents are located -- its too quiet for comfort.

*Ethan and Crys head off to HQ*
 
*Bars raise in the last security checkpoint at IRF. Ethan and Crys step through, nod to each other, and head to their separate quarters. Ethan steps into his office, hangs up his coat. He checks his e-mail: none. Sifts through his notebook, then finding a memo taped to the last page. It reads:

Be prepared for the end.

He dials Security Section.*

Ethan: Make sure all our measures are secure. *calls Cryptography* I'm sending down something I just recieved. See if you can find any fingerprints and match them with any ones we have on file. Also--

Agent: Try to match the handwriting. I do this for a living, sir. Not a big one, I might add, and--

*Ethan hangs up.*

Ethan: felgercarb. *dials Crys*
 
*Crys picks up her cell*

Crys: What's up?

Ethan: I just sent a note to Cryptography for analysis. It said "Be prepared for the end."

Crys: *interrupts* Wait. So you're saying someone slipped through security just to leave you a note?

Ethan: Well they obviously went though great lengths or someone is playing a joke.

Crys: Right. Well I'll see what I can do. *hangs up with Ethan and dials Cryptology*

Agent: Cryptology. What can I do for you?

Crys: I know you are analyzing Ethan's note. Send all information directly to me first.

Agent: But Crys..don't you think...

Crys: *angry* That's an order! I will let you know what you can tell Ethan. Now get to it.
 
*Ethan taps his fingers, reading and waiting for results from Cryptography.*

Ethan *dials*: Anything?

Agent: Well, we ran into some complications. It was highly encrypted--

Ethan: You guys are supposed to be the best. Finish in no more than 3 hours.

Agent: Sir, you didn't let me finish explaining. The note was coated with a destructive acid that was activated when we laced it with one of our decrypting chemicals.

Ethan: You're telling me the whole thing's gone?

Agent: Yes, that's what I'm telling you.

*Ethan hangs up, leaves and locks office, grabbing keys. Enters elevator and goes to sublevel C. Exits out garage door and catches city bus, taking it to an alley, where he meets a contact.*

Ethan *hands contact papers*: We have an agreement? You get your money when I get confirmation that the tap has been permanately placed.

Contact: Yes. We have an agreement. Expect word within twenty-four hours.

Ethan: I will.
 
so my family has moved houses and i have finally ventured on the internet again.

mmm...look at all the plot developments...

that is an awesome quiz, mac. I should be in ATD. who woulda guessed?

neway...sorry i don't feel like coming up with anything right now. I have a busy errand day tomorrow and on Thursday I'm flying out to go to my friend's wedding. It will be a long weekend. And then my boyfriend is coming back to Cali to visit for a week.

So who knows if I'll be around for another little bit, but I guess long absences are norm around here now.

Is it wierd to feel like you're coming home when you visit the IRF thread? lol.

Yeah...its summertime, so we only expect people to be out for a long time. Nah...its not weird...its the norm! :lol:
 
*Crys walks into Cryptography*

Agent: *nervous look*

Crys: What did you get? *points to the paper*

Agent: You might not be surprised with the results.

Crys: *looks at the analysis* This explains how security section wasn't alarmed.

Agent: Yes...it does. But Ethan called and he expects an answer soon.

Crys: Tell him what you need to, but don't be detected. I don't ask for much, but know that it is important to save him from the truth.


*UNDISCLOSED LOCATION*


*Sounds of objects shattering and arguing can be heard*

Crys: Wrong answer, Katya!

Katya: I didn't put the note there, I swear it!

Crys: Funny. I don't believe you.

Katya: It was Irina!

Crys: Why would Irina make a threat on Ethan's life? Why the hell would she let those 2 vials be discovered in that bear?!

Katya: *feels her lip bleeding* She.....*deep breath*...

*suddenly the door opens*

Voice: She...what?

*Crys and Katya get a puzzled looks on their faces*

Crys: Ethan?! What are you doing here?
 
Katya: Look, both of you, I don't know what Irina meant sending you that bear. But I DID NOT LEAVE THAT NOTE!

Crys: Then who did?

Katya: If I could see it...

*Ethan throws a picture of the note in Katya's face*

Katya: I recognize the handwriting. It's of a friend of mine, Mr. Chen, in China. I heard recently of a plan to launch a satellite...

Crys: What kind of satellite?

Katya: It would be able to remotely upload coordinates and launch codes to U.S. nuclear weapons. Most likely, their planning to launch them on Taiwan. China hasn't been happy since Taiwan refused to become part of the mainland. Now they can get their revenge, and blame it on your home country.

Ethan: Some story.

Katya: It's true. Don't you have spies in the Asiatic Space Agency? I mean, it should be on the news in China, the new satellite.

Ethan:...Crystal?

Crys: What? *brought out of trance*

Ethan: I saw it, you know, the lightbulb go on above your head.

Crys: Katya, I don't know if your lying or not, if you're setting a trap, but I have no choice. I have to go to Beijing.

Ethan: 1, I think you mean we. 2, since when do you trust her? And 3, why did I hear you getting so angry about that stupid bear? You said it was a family heirloom.

Crys:....
 
Kody is forced into the back of a van where Jess lies waiting, unconscious, bound and gagged. Suddenly Kody feels the butt of a semi-auto rifle to the back of his head. He throws himself forward feigning unconsciousness.

Gaurd: (on comm) Ma'am we have them both, how should we proceed?

Female: Take them to the rendezvous point and make sure they are left in the open where the others can see them. I want this to end with one hell of a bang.

Guard: Ma'am, I know you are the brains, but I was thinking....

Female: I am the brains but as long as it isn't a half assed idea I'm willing to take suggestions

Guard: I was thinking we should maybe strap C-4 to the agents we have now, you know to get more bang for your buck as they say.

Female: Excellent idea. It will do, I also want the entire area fitted with explosives. Katya out.

Several hours later

Crys: Pii, were you successful in getting us a meeting with the head of ASA?

Pii: Yes I was, it's been years since I've worked with them so it wasn't easy, but you and Ethan meet with him in 45 minutes in Ritan Gongyuan Park, he will be wearing a blue rose in his lapel.

Crys: Thank you Pii. I'll contact you if we need anything else.

45 minutes later

Crys and Ethan cautiously enter the Park with guns drawn, even though it was well after dark some lovers and vandals still occupied the park.

Crys spots the contact and starts to approach him when suddenly Ethan notices something a lil off.

Ethan: Crys, wait, I think something is wrong.

Crys: Everything is fine Ethan, let's go nothing is going to happen, Katya had no time to set something up.

Ethan: Really? then why is that everyone else has left the park except us three and the odd couple over there?

Crys: Ethan it is rather late maybe everyone just noticed that, but check out the couple anyway.

Ethan slowly draws his gun and makes his way over to the couple yelling for the to show their hands. THey do no such thing and when Ethan reaches them he understands why.

Ethan: CRYS, it's Kody and Jess, and ummm they've got a shitload of C-4 all over them.
 
Crys: Damn. *voice drops to whisper* Signal your agents stationed in Beijing. Get snipers set up on the balconies of the apartment buildings surrounding the park.

Ethan: It won't do any good.

Crys: ....why not?

Ethan: *points to balcony directly above Kody and Jess* That's why not.

*They look up to see Katya standing on the balcony*

Katya: Hello, little ones.

Crys: Where's the detonator, Katya?

Katya: For me to know, and you to--*suddenly, she's shot down by a sniper and sent falling off the balcony*

Ethan: Wow, that was quick.

Crys: Ethan, I don't think that was a good guy.

Voice: Correctamundo, Cryssie.

Crys: *looks up and across from where Katya was* McKenas?
 
McKenas: Well well...if it isn't Ethan. So...are you prepared for the end?

Ethan: *freezes for a moment then becomes angry* You!

McKenas: Whoa...chill. Don't want you having a stroke over it. It was just a little...*chuckle*...note.

Crys: What the hell do you want McKenas...we don't have time to deal with you.

McKenas: On the contrary Miss Crystal...I believe you do.
