Chapter Three-New Beginning's
"Well, I guess it's safe to say you've met one of your new roommates, but isn't it a bit too early to get it on all over the floor, I mean, even by my standards, this is kind of aggressive for a first date boy," Blake said as he picked out the kunais out of the wall then sat down in the chair next to him. As Zamfir sat there on the ground trying to come to terms on the situation he saw Kensei on the other side of the room looking around aimlessly. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, a small object shot out of one of the back rooms, jumped, then landed on Kensei's head. After closer inspection, it was found to be a small, snow white furred cat, staring right back at Zamfir with its steel blue eyes.
"Ignoring the topic of me just being attacked by a mad, knife wielding woman for the moment, mind explaining to me what is going on here Blake?"
"Well like I said boy, this is your new group, your new friends, companions, amigos, need I go on?"
"That's all nice and all, but I want to know who are they," he stressed, still puzzled as to why Kensei and the cat were both looking at him in the same manner.
"Well, fair enough," he began to clear his throat as he walked over to where Ava was standing playing with what looking like some sort of gadget that resembled a cell phone.
"The lovely young lady we have here, who was so kind to greet you by the door, is Miss Ava Dagmar, better known as Trix. One of our foremost computer experts, this young devil has invaded more people's privacy than the FBI, CIA and home land security combined, yes I know, sounds scary doesn't it. However her real skill lies with her unique skill in the art of hand to hand combat and the wielding of small weapons. She is 16 years old." Zamfir looked over towards Ava, who gave him a wave, then got up to answer the phone which was ringing for some time. Blake then walked over to where Kensei was sitting, laughed a bit after noticing the cat had gone to sleep, still on Kensei's head.
"This is person here really in fact has no name we know of, but the nickname the syndicate gave him is X, when under cover he often goes by the name Kensei. He is said to be the prodigy of the Iaido technique, an old Japanese marital art. By now I'm sure you've figured out he is Japanese, his weapons of choice are old Japanese swords called katanas. He is not really the talkative type but I'm sure you all will get along just fine." When he finished talking, Ava hung up the phone, and gave Blake a nod. It did not take long for Zamfir to figure out the called probably came from headquarters, he then noticed the old man clearing his throat while taking a file from his unruly overcoat.
"Now that I have given the introductions, time now to get to the meat of the matter," he quickly threw the file into Ava's lap and began again in a serious tone, "This is case file 4AV,operation type 019, do you understand the requirements of the mission so far"
"An infiltration mission, minimum resistance is expected, however this can change at anytime, mission must be done in the space of time agreed on by the client, failure to complete the mission in the given time is not accepted." Zam replied.
"That is correct; the client has requested to be remained anonymous, the target is an old storehouse said to belong to a one Zee Ling, a visiting bureaucrat from Taiwan, he is suspected of being connected to group who were responsible for several assassinations on key diplomats across China and Japan during the last nine years. On this mission you're to find anything that would shed more light on next target they are planning to take out. This is a snatch mission, so get in, and get out. Tonight Zee is scheduled to be attending a dinner being held at a local embassy, the starting time for this mission is at 22:00, allocated time for the completion of this mission is 2 hours. Do you understand the parameters of the operation just given to you?"
"YES" all 3 of them replied together, almost as serious as the way Blake was talking to them.
"Your response has been noted, if there are any questions after this meeting; please see Ava, who will be the information analyst on most of your missions. Since this is not an assault mission, semi-combat attire is recommended, that is all, should you choose to accept this mission, you will receive further instructions, and so do you accept this mission?"
Zamfir looked at Ava and Kensei, after receiving a nod of approval from both of them he said "Sure we accept, let's get this show on the road."
