“Is it both groups?”
“Have you got enough back-up?”
He holds the phone away from his ear as I can hear Isadora shouting from where I’m standing. He puts the phone back to his ear then replies.
“I know you’re capable Ida, will you just answer the fucking question?”
“Thank you, where are you now?”
“Rough ETA.”
“I’m nesting in ten. Misha and Luka will be protecting Valentina as instructed. I’ll put ‘extreme’ in action now.”
He listens a few more seconds then ends the call. He types out a message and puts his phone back in his pocket, standing up from the table.
“‘Extreme’ is in action with immediate effect. ETA of forces fifteen minutes, ETA of Crown twenty minutes. Your objective; to protect Vixen. Arm up and stay on channel five on the radios,” Lev orders walking off towards his room.
Misha heads towards Kai’s office and I run after him, looking for answers.
“What’s going on Bear? Are they here?” I question.
“Not yet, we’ve got fifteen minutes,” he answers.
He goes to the far wall and pushes the bookcase out of the way, revealing a hidden door. He keys in the code and the door pops open, revealing a treasure trove of weapons. I’m so engrossed, staring at the array of Makarov’s, Kalashnikov’s, grenades etcetera, that I don’t see Bear throw the bullet proof vest at me. It hits me in the chest and falls to the floor. I look down at it then look at Bear.
“Put it on Red, I’m not arguing about this. Pick out any weapons you require. Luka stock up, additional weapon belts are over there,” he instructs.
Luka straps on his bulletproof vest and adds some weapon belts to strap several guns to. I look around while I fasten my vest on and can’t really find anything that takes my fancy. I strap a weapons belt on and add a few Makarovs to it and some ammo, then make my way over to Bear who’s picking up some smoke grenades.
“Bear, where are our things from the flat stored?”
“Second room after the lift to the right of the penthouse, why?”
“I won’t be long,” I say, walking out of the weapons room in Kai’s office.
I reach the room he indicated and open the door. I take in the small number of boxes that signify mine and Luka’s worldly possessions. It’s pitiful really, but you have to travel light while on the run.
Rummaging through a few I finally find what I’m after. My god I’ve missed my knives. Pulling them out of the box I place them on the table and pull out my specialist made thigh straps and chest straps. I attach the custom straps to each thigh and add three of my throwing knives to each. Then secure the remaining four to the chest straps along with my fighting knives.
I head back to Kai’s bedroom, going into the walk-in wardrobe. I take off my sandals replace them with my army boots. I also grab my hooded cloak, putting it on as I walk back to the office. Misha and Luka are walking out, armed to the hilt as I arrive.
“Bloody Hell Red, you’re like something out of Assassin’s Creed,” he says, eyeing me up and down.
“I aim to please, so what’s the plan?” I ask, not beating about the bush.
“Protect you, nothing more, nothing less. So don’t get any silly ideas in that crazy head of yours,” Misha replies.
“Fuck that shit, I’m not waiting up here while Kai and his men fight. I’m not Rapunzel waiting in my tower for the prince to rescue me. So, you can either be with me or not.” I state.
“It’s more than my life’s worth Red, Kai gave explicit instructions for you to stay here. We are to keep you here, using any force necessary,” Misha warns.
“I’d like to see you try and I don’t care what Kai says, these are my Papa’s men. Luka and I are valuable assets in this fight. I asked Kai not to underestimate me Bear, I expected more from you,” I reply, hurt.
“We’re trying to keep you safe Valentina, not underestimate you. Now I’ve found you again, I’ll do anything I can to protect you. You’re like the little annoying sister I never had, I don’t want to lose you, okay?” Misha begs.
“That’s so sweet Bear, you’re like the annoying older brother I never had. So, with that in mind, know I will not behave and what’s the plan?” I reply.
“Fucking hell, Red. If I manage not to die in this fight saving your arse, Kai will kill me when he sees you down there.” Misha whines.
