"It's too dangerous for you to go back. Now that I've asked questions the higher ups at Europol will be on high alert. They will probably not allow visitors and with your history someone may start trouble. The last thing we need is someone checking your records." Maslow asserted edgily while pacing the floor of Raizo's apartment. "I know someone I can still trust."
Raizo watched as Maslow talked on the phone to some guy that apparently owed him a favor. 'Elliot'. That's what he heard Maslow call him. Raizo's excellent hearing could detect the guy's voice on the other end of the phone giving Maslow directions to some restaurant uptown. Raizo was getting impatient. Mika was out there and from the looks of it she was in trouble. Raizo thought back to the night at the hospital.
Mika had just went back to sleep for the third time. She was in and out of it. Each time she awoke she
seemed to check if he was still there. He hadn't planned to stay the whole night, just long enough to see
if she was doing okay, but he heard her murmur his name. Did she want him there? Over the past 72
hours she affected him in a way he couldn't describe. She stirred but didn't wake and Raizo laid down
beside her. Just for a little while. A little while couldn't hurt.
Raizo heard the last bit of Maslow's conversation before he hung up. "Dada Falafel in Berlin. One hour."
Raizo watched from across the street as Maslow slid into one of the many seats outside the restaurant. Any sign of trouble and he would be forced to react quickly. A few minutes later a short man in his 20's sat across from Maslow. Two minutes later Maslow got up from the table stuffing an envelope in his pocket. Finally, they seemed to be getting somewhere.
"I have to go to the bathroom!" Mika blurted out. The guard gave her an incredulous look and the lady tightened her grip. They were in an empty corridor. Great there are no other guard around. Somehow she knew it wasn't going to be that easy but the guard was new and somewhat dense she could probably get around him and the lady, well she was just going to hope the lady was as lacking in the common sense department as she looked or at least easy to run from because Mika was kinda bad at fighting. "I haven't used the bathroom in over 24 hours and I just gorged myself on that slop you called food and water." She said a little more boldly than she felt. "Besides there's two of you, do you possibly think I can do anything with the both of you here?" There was a slight quiver in her voice but it went undetected. They stopped in front of a bathroom and the guard led her towards the door. He looked at the lady. "Dr. Roberts escort this young lady to the bathroom." Mika turned around. It was now or never. "I can't go with these!" she said lifting her hands up to show off her handcuffs. She looked down at the guards pockets for any sign of a weapon. "Fine" he said digging for keys. Maybe this will be easy. "Don't try anything stupid." He handed Dr. Roberts an object, a taser maybe? Even better she thought. "Use this if she tries something stupid." Mika was released from her cuffs and was pushed into the bathroom, Dr. Roberts following closely behind. "Hurry up." Mika went into the stall, closed the door and waited. "What the hell are you doing in there! Hurry up already!" Mika watched as she turned around walking towards the sink. This is it. She opened the door quietly and slipped out. Then moving with speed she never thought she had she grabbed Dr. Robert's head and smashed her head into the sink before she could even scream. "What's taking so long!" The Guard! Mika panicked but managed to grab the taser in her now shaking hands. She rushed out of the bathroom at full speed electrocuting the guard on her way out. She had no idea where she was actually going. She hadn't thought this far ahead and it was actually pure luck and quick thinking that got her this far.
