Part I – Game On
A cold cup of tea. That is the first memory that strikes me, from that day. Then the others line up behind it. Slow and fast. Painful and painless. Bitter and sugar-sweet. All in order now. Alles in Ordnung. Everything ready. The information in my pocket. Burning. Burning.
I was just finishing a night shift. Sitting there. Seemingly thinking of military manoeuvres. Then, getting up, calmly, and going over to the wall, fumbling, but not fumbling, with the great lines of cabling there. A flash of a silver pen knife. Then, nothing. The camera in the corner will see no more.
Clothes changed. Quick. Quick. From military intelligence officer to pilot. Uniform shoved under the desk. Information transferred to the new pocket of the other uniform.
Retrieve the other information stick from where it has been stuck behind the terminal, and plug it in.
Enter the codes needed. Key password: Mjölnir. Hit Enter. Virus is up and running. Result.
Check the information. Safe, still safe. My passport. Mon passeport. My survival.
I go to the door. About to turn out the light. Turn; final checks. The tea. Sitting on the edge of the desk. Stone cold now, milk with no sugar. The way Crieff liked it. Not me. But I drink it all, barely any flavour. Something in it makes every single nerve tingle. What? The caffeine? Not likely. But still. Every. Single. Nerve. I have always broken the rules. But not like this. This is fun. And life threatening, and fraught with danger, but mainly fun.
I turn out the light and hurry down the corridor.
Game on.
Author's Notes:
This is a new AU I have started, all properly plotted and planned (kind of) – cause the thing is, you see, my good friend Buffstar said that I should have planned, kind of. So I did plan (kind of).
Other than that, sorry about John, Prozac and I, it was good whilst it lasted. No comment on why it was deleted.
Alles in Ordnung. – means "All in order" in German.
Mon passeport – means "My passport" in French.
Surely, I hear you saying, if it's an AU, then these countries won't exist. Well, they do now.
ANYBODY who speaks any foreign language at all, can they please contact me! I want to use lots of different languages in here. My extent of knowledge is limited to GCSE German (plus my mom speaks Russian, that's it). I will cite you.
All will be revealed...
