Chapter 12

Several men had entered the room, how had they been able to enter a class 5 room?" One of the men spoke, we will see to your personal effects Mr. Brooks, and escort you to your new home, they sort of pushed him ahead. In the room were a dozen more men, very large men and very small men. "Your staff has also been removed, so do not concern yourself with petty details, your Uncle has made all the arrangements for your, mmm, place to rest."

He had over 10,000 men at the base, 200 of which were former Spec/Ops yet no one challenged the authority these men had shown. He wondered how his father had been able to mobilize so much in so short a time. Was he really inept, he could not even fathom what else he could have done to comply with his Uncle's request.

He later realized it had not been given as a question but as an order to get it done.

Iraq was a different type action then Iran had been. It seemed the easy thing to do since much of the same army that had fought the Iranians would now be on station for Iraq. The British and American armies were now added. Katya and Boris as well as the Dark Lord would gain quite a bit in this war, as would the Order.

The air power being added along with the American tanks and missile carriers should make fast work on the enemy.

France

Boris received a messenger; they both went into his office at home. Boris depressed a button hidden in the bookcase, a doorway opened and the both entered a small room, when the door closed, sealing the room. "Tell me everything" Boris said. The man began to recite the detailed message informing Boris the Who? What? When? Where? Of Katya's parents demise, but still not the Why?

The messenger then handed Boris an envelope saying; "my master stands ready to serve you. He said "Tovarich!" then waited at the door for Boris to open it. "No" Boris said as he opened another door, "this leads you directly outside so no one will see you". The messenger exited, never to be seen again. Boris shook his head as he opened the envelope, he felt bad having to redact the messenger but this was too important for any leaks. He removed a video as well as several note card size slips.

He inserted the video, then read the paper slips before destroying them in an ashtray. He had waited for this information a long time; he watched a short part of the video showing torture of Katya's parents. He again vowed that they would soon be avenged. He said good-bye to Frankie telling her he would be back in a week or less and that he loved her very much. A part of him wanted to tell her more but he had to set plans in motion and tell Jim and Katya of the results the messenger had brought. He was always amazed how money could always buy information unless even greater incentives were in-place. The disposal of the messenger was one example of loose ends.

London

Boris had driven to England, he had used an ordinary auto, procured from a Paris fence, once in London he left the vehicle, walked several blocks to a nearby hotel and took 3 different taxi's until he reached near Katya's estate. He walked up to the servant gate and entered a code, the gate opened to a seconds set of gates, there were 3 of them, one to the servant path one to the main house and another rarely used to a hidden bunker, He entered another code, the went to the bunker. There after yet another series of codes, voice and password were exchanged then he entered.

Bulgur and ninja guards had been alerted and he was observed throughout his entry onto the Estate. Jim and Katya had been informed and made their way down into the bunker. When she saw Boris she ran up to him, jumped up and hugged and kissed him, saying how good it was to see him. Jim even hugged him and tears wet his eyes. "So good to see you Old Man" he said.

Boris motioned them to sit, sealed the room and began. "I have something to tell you both. Katya, I never stopped my attempts to discover Who? And Why? Your parents were tortured. I have found out Who? and Where? he is but not the Why?

Would you wish to pursue this further or shall I just extract our revenge? Jim started to speak but Katya placed her fingers to his lips. Boris, you have been a Father to me, you and Nadia were my family, now I would like to be involved with this conclusion, if you and Jim will let me? Both men nodded and a plan was formed when Boris told them of the details the messenger had provided.

Katya had used her feminine charms many times before, but on this one her whole being, body and soul were dedicated to one end, revenge. The target was a wealthy Englishman, with a wife, 2 girls and a boy as well as his mother, father and a younger brother. Katya spent months in befriending first the wife, then her children and finally began asking about the brother. Katya was considered a rich, attractive catch. Not only was the brother showing interest in her, but also soon her constant flirting and sexual prowess began to stimulate the target.

Since she was now a normal visitor to the target's home his wife never wondered why Katya arrived one morning. "Margaret" she said to the women, something has happened to John, he came over and collapsed, I came by to get you and the family and take you to him."
