Author's Note - Apologies if the Serbian is inaccurate, as I don't speak it and used an online translator.
She slipped behind the divide and hesitated for a moment, before taking out her cellphone and dialling a number not often called. As she waited for her call to recieved, she thought of the implications of what she was about to say, the consequences of this particular act.
"Da?", the voice, which had an heavy Slavic accent, belonged to Andre Drazen, the mastermind of much of that day's events. He spoke in Serbian, his mother tongue, and she, ever the talented linguist, replied in the same language.
"Ono Yelena", she replied. They knew her only as Yelena, so that it wasn't easy for them to know exactly who they were working with. Of course, her employers could easily reveal her true identity, but for what reason? Thoughts of her CTU colleagues ran through her mind as she waited for his reply.
"Za'sto si vama zanimanje?". Andre seem surprised. Of course, Yelena didn't call unless it was absolutely necessary. He was curious as to the reason behind this particular call, espeically as it came just minutes after their plans had been successfully carried out.
"Palmer nije vididrugi be mrtav", Yelena revealed. There was no turning back now, and she knew that there would be a good chance that she would have her cover blown or would have to do something that risked it.
"Kakav?". Andre was shocked. How could he have survived that blast? Was Bauer still alive too? Whatever good mood he was in disappeared fast.
"To je jedan varati izrada vama smatrati. Cuvanje devojka ziv".Andre almost believed that it was a joke, but Yelena sounded serious and he knew that she wouldn't make light of such a situation. He needed to be convinced, however, in order to prepare for any fallout from the attempted assisination that was surely heading their way.
"Ti si nesumnjiv ova?". Yelena was very much in agreement with Andre's disbelief. She probably wouldn't have believed it herself if she was in Andre's shoes.
'Da, jesam nesumnjiv". She ended the call and breathed a sigh of relief. Now all she had to do was hope that the Drazens didn't mess things up, because she knew that her cover was already starting to fall away. She put the phone back in her pocket just as Tony Almeida approached her.
"Oh, there you are, Nina". He said to her, happy to have found her at last. She gave him a smile before replying, the beautiful facade slipping back seamlessly.
