Ch. 17

????? POV late October 1962.

It is a cold night in Saint Petersburg.

I make my way inside a bar near the port, it is deserted in this time of the night, the warm of the sun long gone.

When I enter the bar, I only see a hand full of people, the usual drunks.

'A Couple of new faces around.' I see two well-dressed Russian man.

"Ночь Юр, водочки, пожалуйста, сделай дубль." (Night Yur, vodka please, make it a double.) I put a thick stack of money on the counter.

The bartender takes the cash and gives me a shot of vodka and an envelope.

I put the envelope in my coat and raise the vodka glass. "За здоровье, товарищ." (To your health comrade.)

"За наше здоровье."(To our health.) The bartender says and raises a glass of his on.

'Well shit, this place is burned.' I smile at his toast and drink down the vodka.

"Вот это хорошо, я собираюсь отлить." (Now that is good, I am going to take a piss.) I get up, and head to the back door.

I see two Russian man following me to the back.

'Not even two months and this place got burned, they are getting agitated, guess I poke the right places.'

I take off, and has I open the back door a third Russian is waiting for me.

She points a gun in my face. "We got a runner, how fast can you run?"

Her two friend get behind me, guns in hand.

I put my hands up while offering a charming smile. "Not fast enough."

"I like a man who knows when he is beat, now why don't we go for a walk." She smiles.

(Third person pov)

Has the woman approaches to search him she stops in her track with wide eyes.

"Haa!"

*crunch*

Yur the bartender is behind the two Russians, one of them now has an ax in his head.

Before anyone could react the man with his hands up, moves his wrists making two blades appear.

*slash*

With his hidden blades out, he slashes the remaining two Russians, first he cuts the throat of the woman in front of him, takes her gun and shots her friend.

*BANG**BANG*

He goes down with one in the chest and one in the head.

WILLIAN "BILL" MILES POV.

"That went well. Thanks for the help Yur." Willian said to the Russian man.

Yur went to get his ax back from the dead man head.

"Don't forget our deal American." He said while swing his ax, taking the blood and brain out, and resting it on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, you will be in the first plane out of here." William says after cleaning his hidden blade on the woman's coat. After that he starts to search her pockets.

"Good, remember I want to go to California, I am tired of this fucking could and this goddamn communists, its time I get myself a tan." He laughs at his own joke. 

"Your English is improving, in no time you will be as American has football." He finds a photo of him with some instructions on the back.

'Bring alive if possible, extreme caution – active in Moscow 2 months ago, last seen heading north.'

Yur looked at the woman. "She was a looker, pity she was KGB." He spit out the last part.

"No she was a contractor, possible mercenary or third party, we have to go now." William knew he was in their crosshair now, but he just shot a man twice, and he has three corpses with little Intel on them, he needs to leave Russia.

"I like this bar, you better get me a new one." Yur said while taking the guns from the dead mercenaries.  

"I need to go, can you take care of yourself for a while?"

"Don't worry about me, if anything Russia is a big place, lots of hole to crawl into." Yur shrugs his shoulders. 

"Them I must go, these are just the first, be careful."

"I survived worse than mercenary, worry about yourself American." Said Yur while swinging his ax.

SIMON "GHOST" RILEY POV

Koszalin, Poland. November 1962

Ghost is cleaning his guns, even on standby he never takes off his vest or mask, and he makes sure to have a gun on his person at all time. 

After Daniel summoned him, he makes his own ROE.

'He is late.' he was put in "simple" mission, his objective was to investigate a hidden group of elite assassins in the soviet union, one that was created after WW2. Black widow program, all he got from Daniel where a couple of names with a place call the "Red Room".

'And I thought the Sparrow program was brutal.' He adapted to this new reality well Ghost thought, after Coronel Sheppard gave him a .44 mag head kiss he started to wear helmets.

*creak*

Ghost hears the door open, he pulls his M9 and gets ready.

"It's me, you can put away your toy." The man said after closing the door, he was not alone.

"Riley, good to see you." Said William, shaking hands with the soldier.

Ghost still had to remind himself the man was a master assassin, he looks like a fit 50 year old, but the disarming smile with soft-spoken words made people lower their guards.

"If you two finished, we should go our master has send for us." Said the third person in the room.

He is a Japanese man, with hair to his shoulders and dark eyes. Storm Shadow was the latest of Daniel summons Ghost knew of, they arrived in Russia 4 months ago.

This surprises William, they still had much to do, and his own investigation just started bearing fruits. "What happen?"

Ghost passed William a duffle bag. "I will tell you on the way."

JANE SMITH POV

In the office of GMT, we can see a Jane working on the day to day of the company.

She had just finessed one stack of papers when her office door opened and Walter came in.

"This is all the materials I need, get it has soon as you can" he put a folder in the desk.

"Good morning to you too." Jane dryly comment while taking the folder and briefly flipping through its contents.

"This is a lot more than we need, what else did he tell you to do?"

Walter looks surprised by her question, that quickly is replace by smugness.

"He did not tell his golden girl what his plans?"

Jane furrow her brow at his little comment, but quickly smile at him and get up from my chair.

Walters's smug smile vanished. "Sorry, I mean he just met me on my way here, said it was an emergency and he needed me to study a new drug."

"Oh, go on them, I will get everything in a couple of hours, close the door on your way out." She sat back down.

Walter let sigh of relief. "Then I will be in the Lab." and left.

'What are you up to Daniel?' Jane started to go through the list Walter just gave her, GMT was already overwhelmed with work, but if Daniel wants to put his plans on hold it got to be a good reason.

**flash back**

March 1955

"I am proud of the development of our company, GMT is rising fast. Jane you are an amazing CEO the best thing I did was put you has head and face of the company."

He look strait in Jane's eyes and she gave him a wink.

"Now here is my idea that can make our little company become a true giant." Daniel stops for dramatics.

"The war on Vietnam!" Daniel says with arms spread and a smile.

"War is coming, and what is better than to sell weapons for the war? So it's a good time to start preparing some weapons for our beloved military." He says with a good smile, as if he just talked about making and selling cookies.

John is the first to speak up. "But we are a chemicals company. Last I check the Geneva convention already happen."

"John honey, Daniel was not done talking." Jane reprimand her husband a little, her boss is a mystery, and she wants to keep on his good side.

'Plus he has a sweet spot for me.' She knew the way he looks at her when john or Walter are not around.

"Thank you Jane, has I was saying. The 'weapons' we can provide are tear gas. Since it is an 'incapacitating crowd control tool', we should be able to pass the conventions. Walter I want you to make enough tear gas for the army, make it for two configurations, one for a grenade and another for a plane to spray, just don't make it orange."

Jane chuckles a little. "I will talk with our legal team so we can place it has a crowd control tool, should not be too difficult."

Walter raises his hand. "Just so you know, I can make the tear gas and all, should not be too difficult, but I don't have any experience in military weapons so I can either learn it, which can take a while, or we need help."

Daniel just shrugs. "I thought this might happen, focus on the tear gas, I will try and poach some people, and we will partner with Stark industries."

"I think we should sell some medicine too, our troops are going to be exposed to a new biome with new illnesses that they have not been treated for." Jane said.

"Good thinking Jane, we can make a killing with cheaper medicine for the troops, plus I think some vitamin c shots for immune system are an option." Daniel praises her idea and begins writing things down on a paper.

"We could also start making some new MRS for the troops, what we have in this time is a joke compere with the future." John gives his two cents in the matter.

Jane gives her husband an approving nod.

"A new branch of GMT could be made, focusing on foods and beverages." Walter says.

"I like that, making better and healthier preservatives for the MRES is just the beginning. I can already imagine the killing we are going to make, War is fantastic." Daniel says excited.

**flashback ends**
