But all his life, from the very moment of parting with his father, John was only interested in one question: "Where did his father go?" . The last letter from him came five years ago, it was 2018. And now it's 2020. And here it is the last letter from my father, tattered in an envelope and with only a few words.

The mother was shocked by this letter. But John knew that he would discover the truth of what happened to his father and find him wherever he was.
From this moment our story begins.
Chapter 1
Meet John Kirkes
In the most ordinary American village, there lived one ordinary guy. His name was John.
John Kirkes is an unusual guy with an ordinary name. In the village he was known as the chief mechanic, as he repaired equipment very well. John was walking down the street and turned onto Green Street, towards his workshop. His workshop, also known as Johnny Three A's, was, as always, in disarray with work in full swing.
On the second floor in house number 5 on Green Street he lived, and on the first floor he had a workshop. John went into his house put food on the table and went to drink Pepsi in the kitchen. Today is Saturday, and on Saturday there was always a day off in his workshop, such are the rules. Even on Sunday he worked, though only half the time, but he still worked. His workshop worked from 6:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and from 9:00 to 17:00, well, Sunday after all. However, he often worked until 7:00 pm with pleasure and
extended working hours if he was well paid, in general, the guy was not poor.
Moreover, in his village, which was called Green Forrest, they annually held
mota competitions and almost everyone rode motorcycles and scooters. Only a fifth
residents drove cars, but they had to be repaired, and they broke down not infrequently.
So a young man of twenty-five entered his room, sat on the couch, threw the Pepsi bottle into the trash, and turned on the TV. Nothing interesting was shown on the channels, John turned off the TV, ate a Mars bar and went ...
I went to the workshop, the old creaky door succumbed forward and opened.
"What a mess," John thought, "Okay, I'll clean up tomorrow."
He carefully groped for the switch and the light in his garage lit up. Yes, John has
and there was a garage when he bought the house, the garage was old and abandoned, but John helped, saved up money, bought a blue Yamaha motorcycle, restored the garage
and now this is his lair. However, he did not let anyone into this garage, and no one went there, the workshop was enough for everyone. There was one feature in his garage, there hung an old
poster with Elvis Presley and only he knew what was hidden under this poster. It seems to be an ordinary poster of the sixties with the king of disco, but it was not there. John raised
the edge of the poster to the top, felt for a small lever and a click, the poster disappeared and a secret door appeared behind it, no one knew about it, only John and his friend Li Yang.
He called this secret room the little cellar. However, this room cannot be called a small cellar; it looked like three or even four rooms. There were a lot of monitors, computers, all kinds of devices and of course
there was a mini-kitchen, a lounge and a whole arsenal. Okay, although John was
secret agent and hid it from everyone, but he did not have many guns,
since he rarely exchanged fire, and the weapon was expensive and it was necessary to go for it
to a neighboring village, and it is a few dozen kilometers from Green Forrest.
John had two pistols in his arsenal, one of them was a Colt, a dozen grenades of lemons and brownies, one shotgun and that hunting and one sniper rifle, she was very
old, there were few cartridges for it, since such cartridges are no longer sold, and there is no point in looking for them. They were taken out of production in the last century. However, she was very reliable.
and never let John down on difficult missions. Previously, at one time he worked in the police of the village and caught bandits, but then he gave up on this, as he was almost discovered. It was during these years that this rifle, which the sheriff presented to him, came in handy.
After the service, when he left, the rifle was allowed to be left along with gratitude,
as a memory of a past service. John turned on the monitor, Li Yang appeared on the screen.
- Konichiva, my friend, what is heard from the alpha, our new acquaintance.
The image on the screen smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Konichiwa, Johnny, how is life old man?" Li Yang answered him.
John met Li Yang in his second year of college, he was an exchange student,
but soon, due to the crisis in China, he moved to America to his friend. He lived a little further
on 35 Green Avenue. John sometimes dropped in on a friend for a tea ceremony, in his best
traditions of China. After college, John needed help finding his father and revealed his secret to Li Yang. However, how surprised he was when Li Yang told him that
from the age of 19, Li Yang, having just entered the institute, already managed to hack into the network of his own institute, and play a trick on the teachers. Fortunately, no one noticed anything and everything was blamed on a failure in the system. Now Li Yang and John have each other's backs.
Li Yan stretched, yawned, and said, Hehe Johnny, Alpha has unearthed new data on
The secret base of the ColZirex company, I am sending the coordinates. - something beeped and bam
new coordinates entered into the database of John's phone.
-Yeah, stop seriously? -John looked at the map in surprise. -It's a wasteland, I'm sure
I remember 100 kilometers from here, there is nothing there, only the desert and that's it, and people
don't go there often. You are sure?
- Johnny, my friend, I ever let you down, the more data you get from alpha, or you don't trust him.
- While little is known about him, he is a novice in our business, for the good of the country. However, yes, here
it's been a year now since he's been getting in touch and he has never let us down, I wonder who he is,
a cop, an old warrior, a hacker kid, or a hottie with big plans.
- Johnny, again you are with your jokes, although who knows, okay, let's get back to business.
Look, you see on the map, a red dot, here, yes, it is the most. When you arrive, it will turn green. Got it.
-Yeah, listen to Lee, and if suddenly there's nothing there, well...
- Ugh jangui, okay then call me and cancel the mission, I understand. No kidding, okay.
- Ok, that's all, as soon as there is a free hour, I'll come to you for tea.
- Okay, I just have your favorite dried mint tea. See you later.
- Yeah, come on, thanks.
John turned off the monitor and went to get ready, so one pistol, three magazines just in case, two grenades: smoke and lemon and of course a knife, a melee weapon, without it in any way. Marine knife, years ago, long before he and his mother left,
his father gave him this knife as a gift for 15 years, his father served in the Marine Corps and told him stories about his years of military service more than once. This knife helped his father more than once
battle time.
- And I'm ready, the path will not be close. John put everything in the trunk of his motorcycle,
started the engine, turned on the radio and, to the song Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams, drove to the place
destination.
Chapter 2
New acquaintance
At the 70th kilometer, the radio went quiet, as there was mostly desert around, and
The nearest village was very far away. But John was a smart guy, he wasn't going to
die from the heat in the desert in the heat and at the same time lose your motorcycle. He took a spare
a can of gas, which he always had, water and some food, mostly snacks and nuts. And there is literally a kilometer left to the destination. He arrived and the light on his phone turned green.
-Ugh, he came, what hell, and also in a jacket. - He drank water, ate nuts, Snickers and
poured gasoline into the motorcycle.
- It is necessary to put him in the shade, otherwise the handsome man will mate. And hiding your motorcycle securely
under the huge thickets of cacti, he began to look for a bunker, a laboratory ...
- Would you like to know what it is and where it is? - John was at a dead end, he walked, wandered for a long time,
knocked on the phone, but he did not see anything.
Well, it looks like I was wrong. - John was about to call Lee, but then he noticed
a huge hole in the canyon and went there.
- How strange, such a big canyon, but what is it. John rubbed his eyes, is it really
he began to look for some kind of lever and mechanically kicked the first
stone.
-Ai.-The stone turned out to be hard, no, it's not a stone. John suddenly understood something and became
blow the dust off the stone, it was an old abandoned ventilation shaft, but where
leads.
- Bingo, John rubbed his leg, took a knife and carefully unscrewed the bolts from the ventilation, although
after the first unscrewed bolt, the ventilation fell out by itself.
- Well hello secret mine, I knew it, ugh it was not easy.
The shaft was quite large and fortunately it was not difficult for John to climb through,
He turned on the flashlight and climbed up the dusty, sandy shaft. John crawled and crawled and
suddenly, no, this is not a dream, he saw the cleaned ventilation passages, clean and without sand.
Yeah, that's it, he took the walkie-talkie, since the connection in the desert did not catch and contacted Lee.
- Whether I'm an eagle, answer as you hear.
There was a hiss from the radio and a voice answered, "Hi, John can hear you perfectly,
the data turned out to be correct."
-Yeah, listen now I'll try to connect to the computer network if it is here,
you can hack them and help me.
- It seems it's time to get your hands dirty, okay when you connect, call, end of connection.
John knew to tread carefully if you were spotted, that's it.
and no one will even know that you were here, the place is classified, and people rarely come here. Johnny climbed through the ventilation and ...
"Oops, that's exactly what I need." John was right above the surveillance room, good thing
There are no cameras in the ventilation, otherwise he would already be a corpse.
A fat guard in the uniform of an officer was sitting in an armchair, it only remained to distract him
and get into the room.
Hmm, John thought and came up with. There was a door next to the room, another ventilation went out there, John knew what to do.
He took a knife, opened the ventilation, no luck in the corridor, and the cameras in the dark corridor
nothing to put. So John took a knife and loudly that there are forces, creaked on the glass.
The guard was alarmed and said: Hey who, there. The boss is you.
John did not wait for an invitation to become, he quickly dived into the ventilation and closed the door.
The guard opened the door, took the lantern and went to the end of the corridor, closing the door behind him.
-It worked- John locked the door from the inside and started looking for a USB port for the computer, and here it is. He radioed Lee.
-Whether reception, there is a contact.
- Hey Joe, glad to hear, hold on a second. Yes, it won't be easy.
- How much time do you need?
- Five minutes, here is a five-digit code.
Footsteps were already heard in the corridor, it was bad.
- Lee, it's not five minutes.
-Listen, not everything is so simple, take your time.
-So good, it'll be about a minute before the guard comes back and plus two more,
until he realizes that the handle is locked.
- Three minutes, okay, don't distract me.
John was sweating and it wasn't from his jacket, the guard was slowly approaching.
-Damn, it's bad business, we must urgently bring down. -John thought.
And now the guard has already pulled the handle, the rattle of the handle was heard.
- Damn .... - the guard was seriously angry. Stupid door, jammed again.
John exhaled a little, but he knew he didn't have much time.
-Lee, I'll be all in the water now, are you coming soon?
-Good news four digits are ready, there is only one left.
- Lord Leah, I'm serious, I'll be finished now. - John was ready to kill or
put the guard down, whatever, so long as he doesn't get caught. And now the handle has almost succumbed,
John was preparing to strike and was reaching for his pistol, but then a miracle happened.
- Done, get out of here.
In time, as soon as John climbed back into the ventilation, the door opened with a roar and the guard tumbled right into the place where John had just been. It's good that he managed to take out the flash drive, otherwise he would have been immediately sued.
- And who only comes to mind to make doors that are locked not from the outside, but from the inside. - The guard again sat down to work and clattered the keyboard, checking the cameras.
- You are my debtor, you know how it was not easy, and by the way, I erased the recordings from the cameras,
in this office so that no one will find you.
-Lee, I'm sorry, I forgot that there are cameras there, thank you, you saved me. Free from me
repairs during the year.
- Come on, I'm joking, we're friends, by the way, I've never seen such a huge network.
So let's see, ooh...
Interesting, listen, I'm sending you the coordinates through their network to you where the archive is located.
Good luck.
John looked at the phone, and the route really came. So right, left, forward,
down and …
John wiped his sweat and looked up. It's the same, next to the main headquarters to be stunned.
John followed the route and dialed Lee.
- Lee, I'm here to check the sector.
- I understand, so it seems to be clean. Now I'll open the ventilation, it has an auto-lock.
Click, ventilation opened, but John was not ready for this, he was lucky
he plopped right down on the couch, got up he swore and dialed Lee again.
-Lee, well, I could have warned you, I'm not a cat.
-Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, okay, the main computer is in front of you, go ahead,
And I'll try to connect to it.
John went forward, he was struck by the room. It was large, but there was little light in it, instruments and cabinets with some kind of data were scattered everywhere. He wanted to see
but then Lee got in touch.
- I connected, but there is one snag.
- Well, speak up.
- It looks like when I hacked into the computer, the security protocol worked.
-AND…
"Of course I was able to restrain him, but you only have ten minutes.
- Are you kidding?
- No, I'm absolutely serious, in ten minutes every person in this complex
will know that you are here.
- Okay, then I won't waste a minute, although I have left ...
- Seven minutes. Quickly insert a flash drive and download everything you can.
- I already, the main thing is to follow the entrances and exits.
- Good.
John, inserted a flash drive, no, not just that, another download.
-Download completed at 40% timeout five minutes.
- That's not enough, I'll only have two minutes.
- John, is it John, answer.
- I'm on the line, something happened.
"Yeah, a lot of military men are coming here, what the hell…"
- Whether, whether...
- I'm here, someone hacked my computer. John get the hell out of there
data, take what you have and go. You hear Wali. Crap…
- Lee, Lee.
-Damn interference, looks like we've been discovered. And then John's words came true.
- Anxiety, anxiety, strangers in the complex, everyone is fully prepared,
all fully prepared.
-Damn it, John pulled out the disk just in time. The door gave way and they tumbled in
dozen soldiers.
John managed to slip into another vent, he was almost noticed.
Good thing Lee opened all the vents and not just one.
- Damn, I'm in ambush. - John, hoping to escape, crawled back and noticed a strange room.
- It's, yeah, here it is, suddenly the walkie-talkie buzzed and different voices came from it.
-Hey first, I'm second, did you find an unexpected guest?
-Second first, no way. What about your third?
-It's worth checking the ventilation, run the cooling system, let it freeze
we'll take him here, he's not going anywhere.
John swallowed, but as he noticed, he slipped into the first ventilation in the way.
The jump was successful, he found himself ...
-It's a utility room, phew could be worse. Hm, let's see. The door gave way and he quietly
went out into the corridor. There seemed to be no soldier, John realized that now the way back through the ventilation is closed, because becoming an ice is not an option. John quietly and carefully
looked around, hoping to find some kind of door. And lo and behold, the door was found, however
he did not know what the door was. But there was no choice, the soldiers were already roaming along the corridor.
-That's the same ... Oh, okay, with God. He opened the door, the key card from this room is fortunately
was in the database that Lee hacked into.
The door opened and it turned out that it was another corridor with three doors.
-Yeah, and what is mine, damn it. - There was no time to think, John wanted to choose already
the door but it was too late, an explosion was heard, fortunately John hid behind a strangely shaped statue, she withstood the blow.
The door opened and on the threshold stood a man in a business suit, surrounded by soldiers.
John knew this scoundrel well, there was no doubt everything, as his father said then,
short-haired brunette, with a mustache and a scar on his cheek. I had to do something
and fast.
- Well, of course, John even forgot about the soldiers. - He also has a smoke grenade, just enough to distract them. He put one hand on his back and held a pistol in the other.
- I would not advise you to do this young man, it is better for you to drop your weapon.
"Yeah, found a fool." John thought.
Two options. First you raise your hands and go out, and I will discuss with you
your terms or you will die here like a fool.
John smiled and chuckled softly and peered forward softly.
- Okay, I give up - he came out from behind the shelter. You won.
-Drop your weapon, count to three.- the brunette gave a command with his hand and started the countdown.
-One, two...
John raised his hand forward, no one was ready for such a turn as he expected.
-Three, fools. - and then bang everyone lay down, smoke poured from a grenade.
- Idiots, it's just smoke, behind him... Behind him.
Shots were heard, but John managed to open the first door and darted through it.
He was right, he ended up in the basement. John closed the door tightly and made her
cabinets and what was in the basement. But what is this above the place where the closet stood?
hole and John was ready to swear that someone was moving there. He put his finger on the trigger
and said:
- Who is here, well, answer me, otherwise I will shoot. - but John did not have time to raise the gun, as
the silhouette moved towards him and now at his temple there was already the barrel of a pistol of dessert needles.
- Without unnecessary movements, otherwise I'll take out your head, you understood. - in front of him,
More precisely, it was a girl, his age. With a dark complexion, in a dark leather jacket with earrings in the form of rings, a red bandana and long red hair.
- I ... I'm madam, it's good they sent another hound to finish me off. Know the same
I will never work for ColZirex. The eagle will live forever...
- And the falcon will be faithful to him ... - the girl loosened her grip.
-Know the same I will live forever ...
"Even if they find me." The girl helped John up.
"Well, it looks like you're Alpha." John sat down on the floor and rubbed his temple.
- And you are an eagle, we will postpone the acquaintance for later, and now we urgently need to get out.
Behind me. - the girl opened the hatch in the basement as soon as John did not notice him.
Chapter 3
Oh Hill and Day of Trouble
They walked along some abandoned passages, John was grateful to his savior.
- Where are we, I'm here for the first time.
- This is an old tunnel system, there used to be a Cold War bunker here,
but it was declassified and abandoned, ColZirex can't be put in here, the gut is thin.
- And why?
-And here everything falls down, if more than three people come here at a time, then write the bunker is gone. You see the boards under your feet, this is the floor, but be careful, it can collapse, and deep holes under the floor were dug under the sewer, wow
someone was even going to live here, it's good that the cold war is over.
Well, here we are, don't relax, there may be a tail behind us.
They came out from behind the tunnel, Alpha covered it with old boards and sprinkled sand,
There was also a shovel.
- I'm like that ... How did I just not notice this, like sand and that's it.
- No wonder, I'm not stupid enough to leave marks or talk about a bunker.
I'm surprised how you got here at all, well, tell me. Go ahead, don't be afraid, we have a full minute left.
- Well, I ... For ventilation.
- Not bad, I spent so much time to find this bunker, and then dug
in this desert and stumbled upon it.
- Listen, my bike is standing there, I'll probably bring it.
- And you about it - she pointed to those same thickets and there for probably ten minutes,
how the soldiers stood. His bike was loaded into a special car and with him nuts,
water and canister.
- No, it's my client's bike, damn uniforms.
- Listen, we don't have time, and you can buy a new bike. Follow me quickly
I'm not as simple as you. - Alpha led John to the very hole that he saw.
- Yes, again by, you are full of surprises. - They began to dig with shovels
hidden volkswagen golf.
- Phew, finished, quickly sit on the back and open the hatch, you will shoot - she gave him
automatic m-16.
- And ... - only he wanted to ask why, when suddenly three military vehicles were already driving behind them.
John put aside all questions and began to aim, but also to take care of his head. Tratta one turn another, John immediately remembered the lessons of his father when he was 17 years old.
- So keep the machine straight, pull the trigger ... - click and now two military men
are on the road.
-Hold on-Alpha pressed on the gas, John ate resisted. Aim at the driver, hear the driver.
John did not need a separate invitation, he instantly changed the target and another bullet hit the glass, from the beginning it did not succumb, but after three shots, the truck braked sharply and flew off the road.
- Well, what is there?
- Minus one.
- Well done, two more.
John took aim, but then there was a return burst, John was hit in the shoulder, to
Fortunately, his jacket saved him, but the bullet was not in vain. John writhed in pain
but did not stop, continued to shoot, three more were ready and then they pulled out a grenade launcher.
- Alpha we have problems - John continued to shoot.
- I see she saw it in the front mirror of the car. Get down. - she
passed to the right, John almost fell again.
Bang, the rocket flew past, but the blast wave rocked the car.
- They are close, the eagle has ideas. - She drove the car with all her might.
And then it dawned on John, he had one lemon left, he took it out.
- Alpha, get back.
-What?
-Hand it back. - John shouted louder.
- You're crazy. - She was shocked.
- Believe me.
- What am I doing, Alpha passed back.
And now the trucks were very close, it was within easy reach of them.
- When I say step on the gas. - John, dodging bullets, took a gun and
removed the fuse.
"Now," he shouted, Alpha stepped on the gas.
And then a grenade flew out of John's hands, it did not fly fast, but it hit
right on the bull's-eye. An explosion was heard and two trucks went downhill.
- Yes, Eagle, we did it, we're going to Green Forrest, they won't find us there.
John exhaled and he and Alpha drove home.
***
- You know, I want to thank you Alpha, thank you for covering my back.
- Oh Eagle, please don't call me Alpha, I'm Sylvia, that's my real name.
- Very nice, I'm John. Mechanic, technician, and of course ...
- Yes, I understand that since we now got to know each other better ...
-I'm listening to.
- Why don't we have a drink at the O Hill bar.
- Great, I'm all for it.
John and Sylvia, now close friends, went together to O Hill's bar.
"Hey cool Maggie, how's life?" Sylvia gave a fist to the girl behind the counter
and ordered fruit cider.
- Yo, Sylvia, it's okay, as always there are a lot of visitors, but in
there are almost none on Saturday. - she pointed to the empty tables, which, despite
despite being many years old, they looked clean.
- Hello, Maggie ... - John also knew Maggie, but he rarely came
in this bar, he drank a little, but still drank.
- Oh Johnny hi, how are you. What are you going to drink?" Meggie smiled and giggled softly.
- Yes, everything is cool, I fix motorcycles, you know, I'm all at work. I'd like one bottle of Pepsi, please.
- Okay already, Pepsi for a fine gentleman. - Maggie put on the table where they
sat a bottle of Pepsi.
- Thank you, Maggie, you can bring the bill.
- Would you like anything else, Sylvia?
- Oh no, thanks, just the bill.
- I'll be there soon. - Maggie left to write a check.
- Jack, we're alone now. Listen to me, we have a lot of free time, but
I know people will be sent for us.
- Stop, but I understand, continue.
- I have been following ColZirex for several years now, they have many agents. But
they have only one goal. They're looking for you, but despite what they know
what you look like, they don't know where you live and are afraid of the local police.
- Well, ColZirex, a large company, why are they afraid of the law.
- That's why ... - Sylvia took out an old newspaper article from under her jacket
and some papers. Three years ago, in this village, my father planted
behind bars like this. - she pointed to a photograph in the newspaper.
John drew attention to the article, it was written:
ColZirex scandal, Dr. Lei Beninke arrested,
he is accused of damaging the property of the city and causing moral damage to citizens,
it also became known about secret experiments in the greenhouse.
"Now look here." She pointed to the papers.
John read again, but not the article, but some data:
Lei Beninke, age 45, height 1m 72s, missing status,
and at the bottom it says escaped from New York Jail.
"Wait, this is the same greenhouse in the forest, so that's why it's abandoned.
- Exactly, and also the same doctor, did not disappear, but escaped from prison. My father
engaged in his search, but ... Resigned.
- Yes, it's not easy to be a policeman, how is he by the way?
- Nothing ... He ... - Sylvia squeezed the chair handle and a tear appeared on her cheek.
- Hey Sylvia, what happened? Is everything okay? - John wanted to give her a hand, but ...
"It's okay, something just got in my eye." She rubbed her cheeks and
there were no more tears.
- Okay, what's next?
- Oh, I digress. So, I'm helping you find out what happened to your father.
And I think it has something to do with it. And yet .. - she handed him a flash drive with data.
There is a lot of information here, it will help you in your search for your father. There is about that doctor, she will help you unearth the truth. - Sylvia took a sip of cider and leaned her elbows on a chair.
John was about to say something, but his phone rang.
- Oh, I'm sorry Lee is calling, I have to answer.
- Is it really a white hat, cool, say hello for me.
- He's the best, for sure.
John answered and went to the toilet, it was good to talk there.
- Hey Lee, you're fine, I thought you lost a friend.
- John, it's okay, I almost got hacked, it's good that I was on time
deleted all our data.
Glad to hear you have a backup.
- You offend, of course, I'm not a fool to lose everything, all the years of work.
Mine and yours too. And what do you have, how did you get out and where are you.
- Friend, you won't believe it, I met an alpha. And you know what
she was still a beauty. Her name is Sylvia, she
cool. And by the way hello to you from her.
-Hey buddy, listen to what I'm calling. Your tail is behind you.
-What, where, how.
Looks like they tracked you on the phone.
- Damn, I'm glad I didn't go home. Lee quick, drop them
from me.
-Will be done, ready old man.
-Ugh thanks. Listen, I'll call you back later, otherwise Sylvia is alone there.
- Oh, my friend understood, I will not disturb you. See you soon." Lee hung up.
"Hopefully." John put the phone in his pocket.
"Wait a minute, if they know where I am, and the surveillance was removed just now, then…"
- Sylvia ... - John quietly looked out from behind the toilet, like no one,
but Sylvia was not at the table either, only a bottle of Pepsi and not finished drinking
cider. John's worst fears came true. He quickly ran to the bar
- Maggie, Maggie... If only you were alive. - John ran to the restroom.
He opened the door, and there Meggie sat huddled up.
- Thank God, Maggie, what happened.
"John, they're already gone." She trembled.
- Meggie, tell me who they are. - He gave her his hand.
- Two policemen, they took my money and told me to be quiet
or they will shoot me." She got up and went back to the counter.
- And Sylvia, what's wrong with her. - He was very tense.
- They took her away, said something about some doctor.
- Well, of course ... - John hit himself on the forehead.
- Maggie, stay here and don't tell anyone about what happened.
- Okay, but what are you going to do.
- Oh, don't worry, I'll find Sylvia.
John left the bar and ran to his house, or rather to the workshop.
- Sorry Delon. - John took the motorcycle, it was the motorcycle of his friend,
he fixed it yesterday, but didn't have time to call him yet.
- Lee, Lee you're on the line.
- Oh, Johnny, how's your date?
- Now is not Lee's time, Sylvia has been captured, I need you. You can trace her phone.
- Already, Johnny, they are now leaving, stop in the green forest.
- Exactly, I know, listen, I'll explain later. Now watch the phone, tell me
where are they if needed.
John started the engine and drove at full speed, he knew not to hesitate.
And now he is already turning into the forest to the old greenhouse.
-Everything, further under its own power. - He hid in the bushes and took the binoculars. At his friend The motorcycle always had binoculars, he often went to nature.
-Well, well, an abandoned building, yeah, here. - John saw Sylvia through binoculars
and two policemen, they got out of the car. And before his eyes, they took off their uniforms and
pointed the gun at Sylvia.
- No, not just that. - however, one of them only pushed the barrel into her back, so that
she walked forward.
-And they go, yeah, I knew that. -John noticed how the door opened and Sylvia was taken away.
- Well, time to get your hands dirty. - John carefully went downstairs and looked for security
crawl forward. And here is one of them, the same one that was in the car.
- It is necessary to distract him, yeah, here it is. - John threw a stone into the bushes. It worked.
The guard fell for the old trick. Meanwhile, John found an old window and crawled inside. Inside, a mess reigned, a long forgotten place, brochures were scattered everywhere.
with beautiful flowers and their description.
-I'm at the place where she is.
-Turn left to the warehouse.
-Yeah.-John said like Lee did.
-Now to the right.
"Ugh, I stumbled upon something." John looked around, there was a hatch in front of him.
-Here, be careful.
John carefully opened the hatch, and jumped in. And sure enough, he found himself in the former hall of visitors, and downstairs on the first floor they led Sylvia.
- Hey, you dirty dogs, let me go. = She tried to escape from the guards' grip, but her hands were in strong handcuffs.
-More, stupid-headed sent.-whispered John. What is this? - John saw a thin
a man in a suit with gray hair and a flattened nose.
Silvia was handcuffed to a chair, a strange man came closer
to Sylvia.
-Ah, Miss Coati, how nice to meet you.
Sylvia was silent, one of the guards pushed her in the back.
- Shut up, well, let's be frank. Tell me Miss Coati
where did you put the flash drive with the data, answer or it will be worse for you.
-Pf, I found someone to ask, where did you mister take what I have
some kind of flash drive, and even with some data.
-You're acting like a fool, you're a fucking thief, but do you even know who I am?
- For me, you are some kind of office clerk in a jacket and with a low salary.
John laughed softly, even the guards couldn't help it.
- Well, impudent, I know how to untie your tongue, so you want it serous.
The man gave a sign and the guard, waving, hit Sylvia in the face.
- Well, what do you say now.
The blow was not strong, but Sylvia writhed in pain.
- You took the wrong woman, do you even know what will happen if the police
will find you.
"Police?" The man chuckled viciously. Who do you take me for Miss Coati.
I've been hiding for so many years, no one will find me, and if I fire a bullet
in such a pretty face, no one will look for you here. By the way, the last
once, your father fired a bullet at me and left me this scar. - he pointed to his ear.
He hid you securely then, but now you're in my arms.
Sylvia was still silent, but it was clear that her eyes were flowing.
tears.
- Freaks, I urgently need to figure out how to get her out and how not to
get into the net. - John began to slowly crawl in the direction of the stairs.
- Oh yes, Mrs. Coati, I forgot to mention that your mother was poisoned,
what a pity, she could have been a great scientist if she hadn't interfered
to my plans.
Here Sylvia could not stand it:
- My mother saved thousands of people from death that night, at that exhibition.
-Oh, how sweet, to protect a loved one after his loss. And how do you like it
no one will ever know that your mother died at my hands, because I burned
all her notes, her laboratory, and everyone knows about that very day, how
incident number 50, right here in the old greenhouse, at night
in this very place I killed your mother and burned her life's work.
Sylvia was furious and at the same time in tears.
- And in fact, the record of this incident is kept on an old tape.
here on the second floor, in a yellow box. But oh what a pity, I'm going
burn the place again, but completely this time. And no one else
finds out about you, Miss Coati, or about your mother.
John was in shock, he could no longer sit back. He was shocked by the fact
that Sylvia's mother was killed by ColZirex. Now he knew without a doubt that everyone was there.
crazy. That's who this Dr. Lei Beninke is, a real psycho.
- Well, Miss Sylvia, alas, I don't have time to tell you everything. superiors
doesn't like to wait. So, I return to the question, where is that flash drive.
- I don't know, I don't know anything.
-Good.-he signaled again.
This time Sylvia was hit twice and harder. She swallowed and at the same time
spat out blood from her mouth.
- Well, if you like it, you want more.
Sylvia spat out blood and said:
- Okay, come closer and I'll tell you.
Lei came closer and immediately a bloody spit appeared on his face.
from Sylvia.
"Ah, you vile bastard." Lei hit her on the shoulder, the blow was strong.
Sylvia groaned heavily and could not bear the pain.
- You, you.. You're crazy.
"Well, now you tell me." He waved again.
Sylvia closed her eyes and began to speak.
No, it hurts, it hurts a lot. Stop it, but Lei still managed to hit her,
The blow was again on the shoulder.
-I gave the flash drive to the bastard and now it's far away, you won't find it.
"To whom, answer." This time, Lei lowered his hands.
- So I'll tell you, wow - the pain took over.
-One guy, uh-Sylvia tried to hide more.
During this time, John had already taken the tape out of the yellow box and
he had a plan. He quietly made his way to the switch, he was on the other side of the floor.
He sincerely hoped that Sylvia would still last a couple of minutes.
- Well, what guy?
"You can finish me, ah…" Sylvia bled again.
But I won't tell you.
- Come on, John, a little more, here he is. John pulled the lever and...
- Well, well, getting ... - the light went out and only a couple of bulbs were on.
What is it, you boobies check the light.
- Give me a couple of minutes, stop. John cut the wires with his knife.
Another thing.
- Well, Miss Sylvia, that's better to call you, can you introduce me
with his new acquaintance." Lei hit Sylvia on the nose.
She was in a lot of pain, she could hardly stand on her feet.
John knew that all the guards had gone to check the light, this was his chance.
- And now you tell me his name or I will kill you. - in the hands
Leia clicked the gun. And by the way, I have your phone, it seems familiar,
looking forward to your call. Yeah, there he is, John Kirkes.
- Do not touch him ... - Sylvia ate spoke.
- And the fact that ... - he dialed the number.
John, understood everything and put the silent mode, and crawled to the table, next to which he stood
Lei. He loaded the gun and...
"Well, miss, I think this is the end of our meeting." Lei raised his hand with a pistol and pressed the lever on the remote.
Sylvia closed her eyes in anguish. Bach. Lei lay covered in blood on the floor.
John jumped out from behind the table and ran to Sylvia.
- Sylvia, are you okay?
- You came, uh... To save me. What for?
We never leave ours. We need to get out of here.
John picked up Sylvia and they walked away, or rather ran as best they could.
Here they were already out and in time, a minute later an explosion was heard and the whole greenhouse flew into the air.
John and Sylvia took a breath, Sylvia was very ill.
- You need to go to the hospital immediately.
"Oh, Johnny, that's a couple of scratches, hem, hem." Sylvia spat blood.
- Li it John, quickly, call an ambulance.
- Take it easy, what happened.
- Sylvia badly, quickly. Fast!!!
-Already…
This incident changed John's life forever, now he is not just an agent,
he will stop ColZirex, no matter what the cost.
Chapter 4
On the run
A week passed, Sylvia recovered, she was unconscious all day
after that night last Saturday. And today, on Saturday, again on the day off
John drove a pickup truck to the parking lot and went to the lobby of the hospital to pick up Sylvia.
So far, John has refused a motorcycle, he already had to explain to a friend
about his motorcycle. He was hit by an explosion and badly damaged, had to
sell a lot of things and pay damages to a friend, and the remaining money was barely enough
for any transport. What is it, John could only buy an old pickup truck, and even then it took more than one day to fix it. Sylvia's car, he did not touch, however
looked after her, besides, Sylvia was gone for a long time.
- Hello Dr. Jane, I came to Sylvia.
- Hello John, Sylvia is feeling better. She is already completely healthy, are you ready to pick her up?
- Of course, if you don't mind, Doc.
"It's okay, just sign here." She handed him the papers on the patient's discharge.
-Thank you Jane, if it wasn't for you.
Don't, John, I'm glad you're okay.
- I'm so grateful to you, should I pay the bill?
- Well, you already gave it away, thanks for fixing my husband's motorcycle.
- Not at all lady, doc... Thank you.
-That's why I respect you. I heard you and Sylvia are leaving town.
- Oh, there are various rumors going around the city. Yes, I'm going to Colorado, I'll settle down there.
- Aren't you and Sylvia...
-Not yet, but... I help her, she is on the way with us. Here she is.
The door opened and Sylvia walked in, looking much healthier.
Only a couple of plasters on the face.
- Well, Sylvia, until soon, do not walk more in dangerous places.
Thanks Jane, I won't do it again. John!!!-Sylvia threw herself on John's neck.
- Oh, let's not here, I'm glad to see you too. they finally left the parking lot
hospitals.
- Hmm, this is my car. Thanks John. I don't even know and say.
- You don't have to, Sylvia, forgive me. They were looking for me, not you
guilty.
- John, we're both under attack, you read my messages.
- Yes, we're leaving for Colorado in Greyrock. I've already decided everything.
- And the house?
- I'll rent it out.
-Is not coming with us? What, why are you looking at me like that. Did I miss something.
- Li went home to China three days ago, they opened vacancies for programmers
from around the world.
-But you are...
- Yes, but I can't leave you alone, especially since my work is not over yet.
Thanks John, let's go.
- Yes, the things are in your car. What about you, your home?
- Dom, John... I live in a rented apartment.
- Sorry. I…
- Nothing, let's go. And the pickup?
Nothing, he's in good hands.
-Who has?
- You overheard our conversation with Dr. Jane.
-Yes.
I can't help but thank her, I gave it to her.
If not for her, we would not have talked for a long time.
- What did you do according to your conscience. It's time, sit down.
They both got into the Volkswagen and drove to Colorado.
***
They arrived in a small town called Greyrock, named in
honor of a huge gray stone standing in the reserve of this city, according to legend
so many years ago there were giants here and once a knight named
Pomin defeated a huge giant named Gray, he fell and the mountain, which
giving the table at this very place split and only a large stone remained, hence the name of the city of Greyrock.
So Sylvia Coati and John Kirkes arrived in the state of Colorado in the city of Greyrock.
They rented a wooden house in the woods with a garage and a storage room, and there, of course, they
They set up their headquarters, they were waiting for more than one sortie to ColZirex.
When they did everything they had exactly one evening when they could calmly
live an ordinary life and John Kirkes will never forget this evening.
By the way, you ask how they will live and on what? So here
before leaving, John's Chinese friend gave him a gift and hacked
he presented a large base of ColZirex shields, a fairly decent amount and a bank account
John, this is enough for him to find his father and destroy KolZirex once and for all and help Sylvia avenge her family.
***
John was sitting next to the fireplace and looking through files on his laptop, he was very stressed,
But today he could rest. He's been looking for something for a long time since they moved in.
and was very tired. John slammed his laptop shut in frustration and anger and placed it on the table next to the couch. He sat with his hands behind his head, it was a pity to look at him and everyone would sympathize with him. His stern thoughts were interrupted by Sylvia, who entered the room.
- Hey, Johnny Ke Tal amigo?
- But is there a small amiga?
- John, I didn't want to disturb you, but tomorrow we have a trip to the ColZirex headquarters.
in Colorado in the city of Sunnygreen, we should take a rest, the trip will not be easy.
- Listen Sylvia, I appreciate your care and kindness, but I'm not up to it now, thank you
that dug up the data for me, you see I'm busy now.
- Busy with what, sitting back and looking for data about your father, his name is not George by chance, so that's what I plant for you. Once with my father's old squad, a policeman
detachment made my way to the very base in Colorado, it was maybe two years ago and you know that I stumbled with the team on the files of one strange person who
according to the company, has a son, John, and how a former employee of the company interferes with its activities and must be eliminated along with everyone who knows him, fortunately about your
mother, they don't know anything and don't want to know.
- What are you serious about, you think you are a cool Latino, with your own traditions
and you know more about your principles than I do. Yes, this is my father, not yours, I know him since childhood, I spent more than a year to find him and I know that he is alive, and if not,
then I'll grind ColZirex to powder. I've been to many bases before you, paid a lot of money
and hired the best mercenaries to find at least something about his father. Hell yes,
they attached me, they wanted to kill me, in the end I found three bases on which
maybe it was my father, I searched one, by the way, you almost killed me, and now
she is our heroine tells me what I already know. Why are you better than me, eh.
These long words shocked Sylvia, she was... Furious? No, rather sad
frustrated, tears welled up in her eyes. And then she broke, she just couldn't
walk away and leave John alone.
- Yes, I am a Latin American girl, I have my own culture, I am different, I was born
not in America, but then moved. Do you think it was so easy for mother and father
find a job, I lived in poverty until my mother went to work as a biologist, you
you probably know where, but my father became a policeman and guarded the law. He saved
life to people, put scoundrels behind bars and what do you think. His work was not appreciated
ColZirex paid a lot to get fired, he was told to keep quiet, but he
always took risks, like my mother." Sylvia lost her composure completely.
Do you even know that if my mother would close her eyes to what ColZirex was doing
hundreds, if not thousands, of people would have died. After that very day in Greenforrest
I was no longer the same, my mother was poisoned by this bastard. Only father and I knew it
he was overwhelmed by grief and my childhood was destroyed. He spent many years
restore justice and what now, the last proof burned down
along with the laboratory and labor that cost my mother's life." She wiped her tears and cried as if she had lost her whole life.
You did not see the suffering that ColZirex caused my family, you just
fucking selfish John Kirkes George.
- Yeah, I lost my father and can't find him, I live alone far from my mother. By the way
if you want to cry so get away from me, you have a father.
So go to your old man.
This was the last straw, Sylvia took the laptop and threw it right against the wall, and
got a flash drive.
Goodbye John, you...
She ran out and ran to the garage.
And then John's conscience woke up, he closed his eyes in horror and let out a couple of tears,
what did he do, after all, indeed, Sylvia did not offend him, and he, like the last
the freak rejected her.
You're a jerk." John slapped his forehead.
- Damn it, Sylvia, I… - John ran to the garage.
There was no car, which was to be expected. John picked up the phone and started calling Sylvia.
He was ready to do anything now to calm her down. But all in vain, she
answered and will not answer, even after this. Lee is far away, there is only one thing left for John
go to the city center and try to find her, because she could not have gone far. But
before that, he carefully cleaned everything, beautifully decorated the room, put out the fireplace and went
walk to the center.
There were not many people in the center, as in the city, everyone lived on the outskirts, by the way, now this is not the outskirts, but the main center of the city, but the old center has also been preserved and those who usually got away from their problems came there. John understood that this is where Sylvia belongs, she wants to be alone now.
And so he came, by the way, he came on a bicycle, so at least somehow faster.
- Think, think of a place she would go to? - John just thought and saw a bar
with a sign AmigoDeSantos.
Well, I don't think there's a better place for her.
John entered the bar, there were almost no people there, only one old man was sitting and the bartender at
stands stood.
- Greetings, tell me, a Spaniard woman didn't accidentally come to you, with a scarf with
earrings in the form of rings and red hair.
- Yes, she was here, and she also said that one guy of your appearance will be looking for her,
So boy get out or buy.
- Wait, amigo, hey boy, sit down with me. Hey amigo two drinks on me.
- Of course Sir DeSantos
- Really you? - John sat down and rolled his eyes.
- Yeah, he's the amigo, I own this bar and I know where you can find Miss Coati.
- Where are you from...
- Oh, boy, you don't know much about me, I myself treated her two years ago and
those nice guys in this bar." DeSantos took a sip of whiskey. The guys were nice.
- Wait, wait, didn't they disperse in all directions, after ... Well, this ...
- Speak boldly here, you're not the only one who hates ColZirex.
"After that mission." John took a sip of whiskey too.
"Miss Sylvia told me everything, ah ah amigo, this is not how women are treated.
- I didn't... I did something nasty, I'm here to apologize.
- Well, amigo, she herself was bursting about you, saying that she did not expect this from you,
I helped her, poured her favorite cider, and then...
- She said, all in tears, that she loves you, and you ...
"Yes sir, no more please." He removed the unfinished glass of whiskey and shed a tear.
- How selfish I was, it's hard for her, yes, but her father, what's wrong with him, why doesn't she want to
talk about him.
- Amigo, you have no idea how this poor child lives.
Then two years ago, everyone died, only she survived,
these people were her last friends, they were family, and just imagine
she comes to me in a bar with tears, tells what happened to her
hard, they say that there was a shootout in ColZirex and they are looking for her, what do you think I did.
I hid her at my place and gave her shelter, poor girl, but at least you know what her whole
there is only one life and reason in this life ...
"ColZirex!!!" John and DeSantos slammed the table.
- Kid, she's in the parking lot, go out the back door and hurry up, she's going to leave.
Thanks, I won't forget this.
- Chao amigo.
John quickly ran to the parking lot and, as he expected, Sylvia was sitting on the bench, upset.
-Sylvia, Sylvia- John ran straight to her, it was raining outside.
By the look of Sylvia and her jacket removed, it was clear that she was cold, but she did not care.
-Sylvia, my God, now it's raining and cold, you might get sick.
- And what do you care John, I came to mock you, get out, I already
spared once, there will be no other.
"I just want to…" He took off his jacket and put it on Sylvia, but as soon as the jacket was on and his hand touched Sylvain's shoulder, his hand was grabbed and he lay on the ground.
"Oh, I just wanted to say I'm sorry." He took out a brooch on a chain from his pocket, DeSantos gave it to her, said that it would help him.
- John you... - she realized that he was helping her, not joking. She took the brooch and leaned it against her.
- But where did you find it, it's not possible, unless.
- Listen to me, oh. Sylvia, I'm here to help each other, that man in the bar.
this is DeSantos, you know him, so before giving it to me, he said that he saw my father, and he learned about me from him, said that my father knew that I would look for him.
- And what's in it for me, huh?
- You don't understand Sylvia, honestly I'm to blame, I'm a terrible egoist. But please listen to me, your mother is alive.
- What kind of nonsense are you talking about, everyone knows, and my father, that her bodies were not found, but they were on the spot
found traces of toxic substances.
I thought so too at first, but...
- But what?
- I then found that record that time, but I didn't tell you anything, remember
when you left to pay the rent on the house, so that's when I looked at that tape and realized that your mother was taken by ColZirex. I know I hid a lot from you and was the last fool, but Sylvia, let's live in peace.
- John, I love you - she got up from the bench and grabbed John's shoulders and kissed him.
***
John and Sylvia were already at home, but they were both on edge.
"Listen Sylvia, really forgive me, I…" He handed over to her tense hand
a cup of coffee.
- John, honestly our sortie to this headquarters, I can't do it.
- I understand you, but...
- John, I ... - she closed her eyes, tucked her hands under her knees and trembled.
- Sylvia, for God's sake, forgive me, I didn't mean to. - John sat down closer to her
and hugged her. You know it's hard for me too, I'm terribly scared in my soul. Exactly seven
years ago, some two jackets with weapons broke into the workshop of my father,
my mother and father were then in the kitchen, he shielded us and said that everything
will tell and talk to them if they do not touch us. He talked to them, said that we would leave, and you know that then I lost my father, lost forever. I've been sitting for many years
day and night, looking for him, I became a loner. I lost myself when I left, I haven't even told my mother yet, even though I write to her and call her occasionally, she doesn't know what I've gotten myself into.
He says to come to her, yeah, right in the city where the headquarters of ColZirex is located, I lie to her. I had a chance to come to terms with the loss of my father and live as expected, but I can't. How many more people will ColZirex kill while I just sleep peacefully. Sylvia, apart from you, Lee and my mother, I have no one.
Today I got a chance for you too, but I told me ... - wkch John got up from the sofa and took the package from his pocket and took some pills.
- John, what are you taking? - Sylvia was shocked.
These are antidepressants, the doctor prescribed. - He swallowed one pill.
- Are you sick? - Sylvia took his hand.
- ColZirex, I've been to a lot of places, seen a lot, and as you can see, this is the consequence
long search for a father. It hurts me to talk about it, I'm tired, I just want
find out where he is, what happened to him. Is he alive. - Now John began to shed tears.
- Damn ColZirex, to hell with it - she took out a flask from under her jacket and poured
John in a glass of whiskey, and he began to drink from a flask. Cheers John, she took a couple of sips from the flask.
"I have problems too, as you can see." She took another sip. Entered
into the habit of drinking, not much but drinking, not apple cider.
- So how are you?
- You know, this is a flask, my father, I am now 27, 9 years ago he gave it to me
said that drink to your health, only exactly as much as in this flask, no more.
And a couple of weeks later, he was shot, I ran away, found a job, and as you can see, I'm still alive.
They sat by the fireplace hugging each other, drinking whiskey and realized that now their life
changed forever. They did not even notice how the fire in the fireplace went out and they both fell asleep.
loving quiet sleep.
Chapter 5
Team #7
And in the morning, John and Sylvia are sitting in the room drinking coffee and deciding on a further plan of action.
"Stop, so you think DeSantos knows everything and will help us?" John looked at Sylvia in surprise.
- Joe, you saw that on that record, that code sewn on the kidnapper's robe, the moment
before spraying chemicals, this code is 9125, what does it mean. We clearly need his help.
John I know him, he knows a lot more than we do.
- Wait, 9125. I saw this number many years ago on a bathrobe in one of the complexes.
- And what does it mean?
- I don't know, maybe it's some special people or something like that.
- Only one person will help us.
- So to the Desantos?
- No other way.
John and Sylvia drove up to the bar, where DeSantos was already waiting for them.
"Sylvia, amigo, how can I help you?"
"Hola, amiga, we came for information." Sylvia shook hands with DeSantos.
"Follow me." DeSantos led them to an old building by the parking lot.
It was something like a residential building, with one apartment. He knocked on the door
someone got up and walked to the door.
-Who?
-DeSanteli, La A migueles.
-La A Migueles, come in, stop. Who are these two?
- They're with me, it's not just you and me Jack watching ColZirex.
- Oh, welcome to our headquarters, I'm glad to see you in our ranks. My name is
Jack, and you.
"I'm Silvia Coati." Sylvia held out her hand to the guard.
- What would me, are you really the same Coati who ...
- Well, it's been two years, but it's me and I prefer not to talk about it.
- Of course miss, I understand how hard it is for you, condolences for that team.
- Yes, it was not easy.
- Are you a young man?
- I? John Kirkes.
"Ah, DeSantos was talking about you, amigo. I sympathize with you, according to him your father is in great danger.
Yes, I'm trying to find him.
- You know...
-Stop talking Jack, come on guys follow me and hurry up.
So Sylvia and John forgot about the conversation with Jack and returned to the main thing.
DeSantos led them into a huge room with a huge computer.
"Wow…" John and Sylvia whistled.
- This is the main network of our organization, there are a lot of us around the world, but the goal is the same
Bury forever ColZirex, we put a lot of bugs and cameras, we know a lot about
their organization since its inception. Young people, I present to you PhoenixPoint.
Our special squad to eliminate world evil and fight for peace.
"Sylvia, did you know that?" John whispered in her ear.
- No, I had no idea.
- I see you are surprised, do not be afraid. We have a lot of good guys and girls who
they want justice and fairness. Many of them inherited KolZireks. I'll ask the main question, what brings you here?
- Well, in general, we are interested in this - they showed a tape with data on Sylvia's mother.
- It can't be, because this is the same entry about incident number 50.
- How do you know? - Sylvia was shocked.
- Miss Coati that day, our agents were there, they knew about the kidnapping plan.
your mother, but. But they were all killed, the bodies were not found, as well as the body of your mother. Among the agents
was my son, poor boy. So I've been looking for this for so long, now I finally
I trust we can help each other. If only…
- If just what? - Sylvia sat down on a chair and clasped her hands.
- Look, John, Sylvia - a lot of people disappear because of ColZirex, we suspect.
that they have a secret complex, the location of which we do not know, it seems that this is where all the missing people are kept. Yes, I'm talking about your mother, Miss Coati, and your father, John, they're all probably there. And my son. Many years ago, we received a signal from him, he asked for help, but we could not trace his whereabouts.
"Will you help me?" DeSantos looked at them pleadingly.
- Okay, we agreed. - Sylvia shook hands with him.
- Okay, let's watch the tape. - He turned on her, they had all the equipment
both old and new.
So I thought everything would fit.
- What do you mean?
- This is code 9125, that's what we heard in the signal, maybe it's some kind of organization,
or the number of the complex, the answer is only in one place.
- Where?
- It is located in Colorado, at the ColZirex base in Sunnygreen, you need to get there
and steal files from the main computer.
"But can't you send your people there?"
- No, it is risky and can cause a worldwide scandal, and many years of work will be destroyed.
- And now what?
- You will go there, but not alone, I will give you my best fighters, but first you need to get acquainted.
***
They entered through a beautifully painted door, on which was a wolf proudly raising its head towards the sun.
"Hey guys," DeSantos shook hands with the big guy, the court around the top team.
- Hello Chief, and you Sylvia and John are very nice to meet you. - He shook hands with John and Sylvia.
"Nice to meet you," John shook Gray's firm hand.
- John, Sylvia, let me introduce you to Grey, Jessica and Tanya.
From somewhere, two girls came out from under the hatch in the floor, one blonde and a girl
Looks like 50 years old.
- Hi, my name is Jessica - the blonde smiled. - Let's get to know each other, it's very nice
see you John, Sylvia.
- Tanya, at your service. In front of them stood a woman who had sat a little, but very
beautiful for her age.
-Well, guys, I have things to do, I leave you to them, Alivederchi. DeSantos hastily left.
John and Sylvia sat down and whispered that it wasn't enough for the team. But we decided
on the fact that this will come down.
- So I ask everyone to gather around the table, we will study our plan. - Gray was in charge and this could not be changed.
- Sylvia, we remember the sortie from your team, but alas, no one could help you then,
these were big risks for our organization. But now we won't let you down.
So there are only five of us plus Xu will be with us.
"Who's Xiu?" John was surprised.
Xu is the main hacker in our team, he is the highlight of our plan.
- Well, what is our plan- Sylvia could not wait because it was about her mother.
So six of us sneak into ColZirex under the pretense of importing
plants for the campaign. Farther…
"But at least they won't notice us," John interrupted him.
- Well, listen first. We will hide four in a special secret compartment in
truck, there's plenty of room, so don't worry. Then we slowly drive off
to the warehouse and wait for the goods to be unloaded, this will give us about 4 hours, but Xu hacks
equipment and that will give us a full 5 hours. So you sneak through security
into the complex. Then Tanya and Jessica stand on guard, you make your way to the main computer and quietly, without sudden movements, put the virus there. Here it is. - Gray gave him a flash drive.
"Listen, the virus will definitely work, huh?" John looked at him warily.
"Of course, Xiu never let us down.
- Remind me how much he has been working for you.
- Only the second month, he's new.
- So never? - John was very puzzled.
- Well, yes, at least we never have a hacker, say thank you for giving us one.
Could not give so our chances would be small. So okay, we understand everything and wash off.
- The question is, what if something suddenly goes wrong? - Jessica was worried about this.
- I answer, for this I have a bunch of protocols and a backup plan, it's a secret one, I won't announce it to anyone. So the meeting is over, forge little things and go tomorrow.
Sylvia and John were taken to their room. They changed and went to bed tomorrow will be a hard day.
- Sylvia, listen, I don't like this Xu, because no one has seen him before.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Sylvia hugged John and kissed him.
Joe, look, don't worry, well, we don't know anything about this guy, come on.
Everything will be okay, you yourself are half a hacker, you yourself were new once. - With these words, Sylvia fell asleep.
"I want to believe it, but it's not that simple." John kissed Sylvia and got out of bed, he needed to find DeSantos and urgently.
John got dressed, got up and went to look for DeSantos, the first thing he went to was DeSantos' right hand Jack.
- Hello Jack, listen, I really need DeSantos, you haven't seen him.
- And John, hello, no, he left somewhere far away on an important mission.
John was upset now everything was complicated, okay I will dig up the data about this Xu,
Maybe today he is not here, but I will find data about him.
John went to the archive, he was not denied access, and so he found a folder, strangely in the department
top secret, he sneaked in there surreptitiously. Xiu Rong two months in the service, double agent, working for Col...
- Works for ColZirex, though a double agent, so I knew, okay, I need to take this ...
- Who is here? - some silhouette was walking towards the secret archive.
"So it's time to go" - John slipped out through the open door and ran to the booth with the advantage of working in the company.
- Wow, just a little more.
- Excuse me, sir. - someone touched him on the shoulder.
"Um, yeah." John was sweating from the exertion.
"You didn't see anyone in that direction by chance." He pointed to a secret archive.
- No, nobody.
- And probably it seemed less need to be nervous. - He went on.
John wiped his sweat and went back to his room, now he needed to sleep, but first.
He dialed a familiar number on the phone, it was Lee.
- Hello Lee, it's me John, yes everything is in order, listen to me there is something that needs to be done to help ...
- Okay friend, no problem, it's not an easy situation, I'll help you by tomorrow morning.
John went to bed, he slept badly as his worst fears might come true tomorrow.
Chapter 6
Birds in a Cage
And then morning came, the car was already waiting for them on the street, beautiful with clear inscriptions
and beautiful ColZireks, John did not like this beauty at all.
And here is Xu, yes it was that other guy, his face was scarred, and he himself was callous, although he pretended to be friendly, from the very beginning John did not like him,
But he didn't like John.
- So in the way - Gray moved the truck.
John kept thinking about yesterday and then his thoughts were dispelled by a message from Lee, he hacked into the ColZirex database and sent him data, there was no doubt Xu was a traitor and
no double agent. John chatted with everyone all the way and entertained everyone, so that it would not be crowded and there would be comfort in the secret compartment. But he knew that he had to keep everything a secret, and therefore, when the time came, he would send a message to Gray, not now,
very risky, in any case they will want to be killed or captured, it is only a matter of time. So now they have two hours less, well, John is not so easy to beat,
Xu thought that he would succeed, but John intends to prevent him and save everyone.
So the truck pulled up to the main gate of the complex, Gray said they had a delivery,
They didn't believe him at first, but Xu said something to them and they were let in.
John immediately realized from the stop and the time that Xu had already warned everyone about our visit, the mousetrap was slammed, now there is no way back, maybe everyone should have told yesterday. No, everyone would have thought that he had gone crazy, and the fact that he had been in the secret archives was not worth knowing.
"Well, it's time to sweat" - after these thoughts, they left and quietly made their way to the main entrance. There was no one there.
- Strange, here, in theory, there should be sentries, maybe they went for lunch, Jessica was surprised.
- Be on the alert - Tanya loaded the gun.
"Yeah, so I thought they were already waiting for us, they want to lead us into a trap" - John already knew everything in advance.
- Listen to those Tanya, Jessica, stand here and watch the entrance, believe me, there is no one else there.
- How do you know, suddenly there is someone there, suddenly they already know that we are here and are preparing an ambush for you, you two can't handle it. - Tanya was furious.
- Trust me, really.
- Wait, calm down Tanya, let's stand here, if something we catch up with them and help. - Jessica saved the day.
- Okay, you're lucky guy.
Then Jessica gestured to John, at a glance.
- Hey, where are you, John- Sylvia was surprised.
"Don't boil it, it's only for a couple of minutes." John followed Jessica.
- John, I know everything, you can not hide.
- What are you talking about, I ... Stop what.
- I know everything.
"About Xu and his plans and what we…"
- Yes, I knew, even yesterday, you listen to it only calmly. In general, I followed you yesterday, I'm a special agent in the end and found what you found.
- But how...
- Forgive me, but I hacked your phone, don't be afraid just for the sake of it.
Jessica you...
- Okay, you have a plan.
- Listen, don't say anything to Tanya, okay.
- And what about Gray, he's in danger now.
- Don't worry, I already sent him a message, it will come in five minutes.
- Okay, so they don't expect us to be at the entrance.
- Right, they think we'll all be in the main computer building, so I
I'll change the plan with Sylvia, we'll sneak into the archive room and download information from another computer.
- And what about the flash drive that Xu gave?
- You're talking about this one, oops. - John threw it into the nearest hatch.
- And now what? - Jessica looked at the hatch.
"Trust me." He winked.
- And yes, if something suddenly happens, read this. - He gave her an envelope.
Give it to Sylvia.
And so they went to Tanya and Sylvia, and so their mission began.
Chapter 7
New life
- Well, with God - Tanya waved them goodbye.
John and Sylvia walked down the corridors and headed towards the main computer.
- No, Sylvia, we're in the wrong place, we need to go to the archive, the plan has changed.
- What are you saying John we need to the main computer.
- Sylvia, I ... - there was an explosion somewhere on the side of the warehouse.
- John, Sylvia, Tanya, Jessica reception tells Grey, John follow your plan, shh,
welcome, everyone Xu is a traitor, I repeat Xu is a traitor.
- Grey, Grey, hell, Sylvia has no time to explain, we urgently need to go to the archive, where the hell is he.
It's time to call Lee, John dialed him over a secure channel.
- Listen, I need help urgently, here are my coordinates.
- Done, what do you need to know?
- Where is the archive, yeah, the first door to the right and left, thanks.
- John what's going on, listen, I don't understand.
- Sylvia is behind me, we need to go to the archive.
John and Sylvia rushed to the archives, soldiers were shooting at them along the way.
And now they are finally there. John opened the door, an old one, apparently not locked, and immediately blocked it with the nearest cabinet.
Luckily there were no guards, as expected, everyone was at the main computer, but they had
there was little time for others to know about their presence here.
- Sylvia we have little time, Lee I connected to the computer, come on.
- Wait, the code is very complex, what file is there?
- File number 9125.
- Now, my friend, you have to wait.
The main door was already breaking, John knew that he had to hurry.
- Let's go faster, we have to go.
- Already a second, there is.
The door was broken, John and Sylvia hid behind the cabinets.
- Sylvia, take the code and leave, I can handle it.
- No, I won't leave you, no John.
- Sylvia, you see the ventilation there, go away.
"No, I can't, we will break through together." There were tears in her eyes.
"Sylvia, I will find you wherever you are, please…"
The soldiers were already close.
- Run, I'll cover.
Sylvia understood everything and jumped into the ventilation, shouting at the end that she loved him, and
angry that John didn't tell her anything about Xu.
John said something to Lee and he understood.
- Wait for my signal.
- Okay bro.
The soldiers were already close. John raised his hands and smiled.
On the threshold stood Xu and the same brunette, the enemy of Seken's father.
- So we met again John Kirkes, what a pleasant meeting.
So guys, lower your weapons, this is not how you should meet an honored guest.
John hated his voice, but kept his cool.
"And Seken, we haven't seen each other for a long time, a lot of time has passed since I spent you.
- Well, now, boy, don't try to do anything, your friends are now trapped with us and ...
- Sir, all four have escaped and they are nowhere to be found...
Ha, it looks like you underestimated them.
- Damn, well, John is the end for you, okay, I know how to hurt you to the quick.
Maybe you want to work for us, drop your weapons and come join us.
Together we will build the world in our own way.
"Thank you, but I've already been hired." John couldn't help smiling.
- You're talking about that meager company, but we already control it, it's ours, it remains only to eliminate DeSantos and that's it.
- Ha, and he is already far away, he has gone on business, by the way, what a great idea you came up with double agents, they are all traitors, only a couple of them are honest people and apparently they have all been dead for a long time.
- I admit, you are an intelligent boy, but now you are finished, in the end I will say, your father is dead, I killed him, you will never know where and when he died.
John stopped smiling, but he was hurt to the core.
Don't you dare talk about him, you bastard, I...
- Well, let's cry, after you die, I'll take care of your mom too.
- Yeah, schnitzel.
- What you said?
- Schnitzel.
- What are you kidding me about?
- No, SCHNITZEL.
And then, after his words, unexpectedly for everyone, self-destruction began.
- Attention self-destruct after 5 minutes.
John shot Xiu, who fell dead.
- Soldiers, fire.
John already knew what was going to happen, he was hurt a little but he knew what to do, he jumped into the ventilation and drove down into the tunnel.
- Goodbye bastards, John flew down to the sound of explosions, he knew that now his life would change.
Epilogue
A week has passed since then, the organization was dissolved because it had a lot of attachments,
DeSantos retired blaming himself for the incident with John and for his son.
Meanwhile, team number 7 took a well-deserved vacation.
Gray was sitting smoking a cigar, Tanya was playing the guitar on the stage of the bar, Jessica came up to the table.
- Oh hi Sylvia, Grey, oh about John, Sylvia my condolences.
- I understand, but there is no point in shedding tears, soon we will take revenge on ColZirex for everything.
- Yes, this is the mood, we will get them out of the ground.
- By the way, Sylvia, he asked me to pass it on, sorry for taking so long, I just completely forgot.
Thank you, he wrote this...
- It's like goodbye.
- Okay, thanks Jessie, I'm so grateful to you.
- In general, I think you need to be alone, Grey. - She took Gray by the hand and they went on.
Tanya sang a song about farewell and love.
And so Sylvia opened the letter.
Dear Sylvia, I am now free from all my troubles. Now I finally understand who I am
what am I supposed to do. I wanted to tell you about Xu and all this, but...
Understand me, I love you, I love you and I want you to know.
Someday I will propose to you. I sincerely hope that I will hug again
you and sleep on your knees.
P.S.
Sylvia, please grant my last wish.
Come at 20:30 to the bench where you and I always sat.
I love you John.
Sylvia folded the letter in her pocket and looked at her watch, 20:31 I had to hurry.
She did not know what was happening to her, maybe John wrote it that way to encourage her.
She came, it was raining. She sat down on the bench and cried, she was cold,
she left her jacket at the bar.
Suddenly she felt someone throw a jacket over her and she felt warmer.
- Girl, put on a jacket, it's cold here, you can't get wet.
- John...
In front of her was a man in a cap with a bouquet in his hand.
- Sylvia, I've been waiting for a long time, I love you.
- I love you too, but is it you?
"I told you I would never leave you. Give me your finger please.
- Why is it .- she was very surprised.
"It's a surprise, close your eyes." John smiled.
When Sylvia opened her eyes, she had a ring on her finger.
- Now nothing will separate us. - John hugged her.
- John I...
John was shocked, Sylvia kissed him, and that's how the story ended.
They were happy and nothing could separate them.
The End
