Part 13
34 hours ago...
Somewhere in the ventilation...
"Ok I can see it but I ...can't ...reach...it" Agent JKR liaised with Agent V and Agent M as she tried to reach for the metal container.
"Is the casing platinum or gold?" Agent V enquired.
"It looks like platinum. Wait I'll show you" JKR took out her Glass and fixing it on her eyes, turned it on so Agent V could get a good look.
"JKR, your side pocket, upper right. These's a high strength magnet. Use it to slide the device towards you"
"Ok hang on"
Agent JKR had disabled many bombs in her time but this device looked different. Trusting her colleague she did as suggested.
"Right got it"
"Unscrew the top carefully"
"Doing it right now"
"Time?"
"10 minutes"
"You need to separate the red and yellow wires and cut the blue one"
"They're all wrapped in black rubber"
"Cut through it and split them"
"Ok. Wait"
It went eerily quite as JKR concentrated on the task at hand in the confined space.
"Keep a check on the time" Agent M warned.
"7 minutes"
"Ok"
"Are the delegates safe?" JKR tried to lighten the solemn mood.
"Mahirs on it...but you need to hurry"
"Ok I'm in. V send me a visual of the internal layout so I can disable it"
"Is your glass on? Sending them now"
"Got them"
"We're relying on you JKR!"
JKR shuffled closer with the torch to the bomb she needed to deactivate. She was working as fast as she could before it detonated and blew up the whole building! As tiny beads of perspiration appeared on her forehead she checked the timer.
4 minutes.
Elsewhere...
"Are the delegates secured? I'll be with you soon. Wait for my call. If I don't get any results here, I'll come and try there. We need that file at any cost!"
"Ok boss! I've sedated them, they'll be knocked out for a couple of hours. There're in the basement and no one suspects me. Nobody ever notices the staff do they?"
"Don't worry Guy, I notice you and will reward you soon. Let me sort matters here then I'll come down ok?"
"Ok. Oh by the way I've brought the other guy too, who was there chaperoning them. Mahir they called him I think"
"Good job Guy! Oh what would I do without you! My hero!(Idiot!)" Seven muttered under her breath at the next fool who had fallen for her charms!
"Ok then"
"Bye!" Ending the call, she turned around to see RKB laying on the bed, still semi unconscious from the drugs the doctor had pumped into him.
Grinning she thought of the red herring she had laid out for any of his colleagues who tried to interrupt her. Let them fret over it while I get my information from under their noses and slip away!
"Ishitaaa... Ishitaaa... Ishita???"
What the hell! The only thing he had uttered in response to any questioning in the past hour was this name. Seven had never known a man so obsessed with his wife! Even under the effect of the truth serum he couldn't stop babbling on with his cloth wrapping, ordinary wife's name! The serum paralysed his body and muscles temporarily except for speech.
Oh RKB! What has she reduced you to! A handsome hunk, brilliant spy, promising individual, turned into a lovestruck fool! Well Seven had seen her share of them! First that major and now RKB. She stared at the figure laying dishevelled on the bed with pity.
Then an idea struck her. If the only thing which could instigate him to tell her where that file was, was "Ishita" then she could use that to her advantage. She was willing to don a "thaan" to get what she needed and if he was a fool enough she was willing to "fool" him further.
Picking up her phone again she rang housekeeping.
"Yes room 506, could I order a red saree, chiffon, size 8 blouse. My husband is insisting I wear it today. Bill the room. Thanks"
A smug smile appeared on her face. Agent RKB here "Ishita" comes to steal all your deep dark secrets! Be prepared and be very very scared!
"OMG! It's fake!"
"What? JKR? What?"
"The bomb, it's a dud, it's not real"
An uncomfortable silence followed as the cogs turned rapidly in all three agents brains. This must have been a decoy while the real action happened elsewhere.
"Shit! The delegates!" They all exclaimed in unison.
"M try and contact Mahir and get their status update. JKR get out as quick as you can we'll need to cover lost ground ASAP!"
"Ra..I mean RKB? Where is he? I think we'll need to contact high command"
"JKR you come out first, I'll alert the others! Hurry"
"M the cars! Mahir had trackers fitted! See if you can trace their location through that!"
"On it JKR!"
As the agents scurried out of the building strategising a new plan of action, little did they know that the delegates had been kidnapped and were being held captive in the basement of a well known hotel just a few blocks away. The only reason the assassin had kept them alive was because the file was still missing, the contents of which they would have been discussing had the meeting gone according to the plan.
That was the assassins mission to retrieve.
The file contained vital information, of peace plans, strategies, important prisoner release dates and so forth. The assassins bosses wanted the file at all costs and Seven was going to get the information no matter who came in the way!
However her carefully laid out plan had been foiled when, thinking a step ahead, Agent RKB had switched the contents with blank papers making it necessary for Seven to call in reinforcements and capture the delegates as well as RKB. But getting the information out of him was proving rather difficult. The serum hadn't worked to her advantage making her very impatient.
But RKB's devotion to his wife had given Seven an idea on how to trick him into giving her what she wanted. The doctor had informed her that a side effect of the serum was that the patent experienced hallucinations and lethargy. She aimed to use this to her advantage.
With an evil smirk, she wrapped the red chiffon over her shoulder and walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom where RKB lay. Seven was good at getting results!
