Interpol HQ

In the early morning sight on Lyon, most people are still having a sweet dream in their own sleep. Few people aren't the same thing, it probably they're overtime job and else, the overtime job mostly to do with the cops patrolling entire the city. Also a cop had work in the office, like example in the Interpol HQ. The main headquarters of International police group's entire the country. It's a story about a female purple Indian panther walking through along the corridor with emotional looks by heading an officer room by stop front of the door. She knocks the door.

"Please, come in." the female panther went in. it appear a male albatross bird were sitting with his glasses and read a paper from the opened file.

"I heard you call me, sergeant." She closed the door and approaches him.

"Please have a seat. There's something I'd like talk to you."

"What is that, sir?" she sat down the chair towards him.

"Constable, I had a bad news were comes. Last midnight, Interpol and GIGN were secured a cargo ship halted in northern France dock. It loaded full of radioactive, few of stolen artifact, and few packs of weapons."

"The manifest was picked up and investigates it. Sgt. Barkley suggests that a terrorist or a mob gang going to sell in black market in France. But I suggest that it's an extraordinary syndicate not a gang, terrorist, or mob."

"How did you know it, sir?"

"I can feel it and smell it. My instinct spoke to me."

"But, why did they send it to France? What their point?"

"That's why this case won't go unanswered or it became to bloody."

"May I ask to you, sir? Who is sending the cargo, sir?"

"It's him." He gave her a photo of a black white photo considered a grey wolf wearing black tuxedo with Kevlar vest with a serious face looking to the left side.

"w-who is he, sir?" her eyes became produce tear.

"He's Viktor. Viktor Brezhnev. He known as inherits of the ex-soviet leader, Brezhnev. Alias name Viktor the red wolf. He's the leader of the Red-cross order."

"Red-cross order?"

"Not much I know about him and… is there problem with this man, constable?"

"No, sir. I just thought to myself, why you assign me?" she clears her tears.

"I know everything, Amanda. I know your mother dies because of him. I know your feeling is. Because…"he concern and didn't finish his words as Amanda attempt to leave the room.

"I'm sorry, sir! I refuse it. I should go now." She attempts to leave the room before he finished his word.

"You're the only one of my trusted member. I had lost my best to catch this man, but I don't want their job being vain." He stops her as she realizes that he's more losing everything than her.

"Sorry, sir?"

"He was killed my best friend, my brother, and my father. I attempt to, but he's too smooth. But your mother was killed in action and died in honored. I know your feeling is, I know what was done to your mother. So was me, I've lost everything… everything that planted on my brain."

"All right, sir. I've change my mind. I'll do this for my mother sake and the fallen comrades." She clench her hand after she clear her tears.

"I want you to help me without Barkley notice."

"Why Sgt. Barkley didn't notice?" she back to sat down.

"He's such a stubborn bloody old man to won with his own hand. So I want you act without Barkley's notice, because it's out of my authority. About Viktor, don't estimate him, he's extremely dangerous to be armed."

"Where's the location?"

"Now you're asking now. The location is in Prague, Czech Republic."

"Is it Viktor, sir?"

"Definitely not, he will be our ticket to Viktor, unless we forced him to speak."

"Who?"

"He's Victor's messenger behind the stone wall, Sir Raleigh. So, he'll need to catch… Alive."

"I'm sorry you do this with your own. I hope you understand"

"Yes, sir, I'll do it in no time. This is for the fallen comrades and especially my mother."

"I had an advice to you. Don't fill your heart full of revenge, because it won't change anything. I want this man alive or dead if it's necessary. Necessary if he resist, have you keep my word, constable?" he crossed his arms by grin and standing towards her.

"Yes, sir. I'm on your ears." she nod and make a little smile.

She walks through the corridor and heading to her office by sat down on her chair staring to the star in the early morning landscape. She remembered when she was kid with her mother staring to the stars in her room through the window.

It's similar like this photo, Amanda staring stars through the window. ( art/Young-Amanda-323301245?q=gallery%3Ajennissycooper&qo=2) she began to cry as she kneel down near the wall and reminds it. which she sat against the wall by wrap her legs against her body wrapped. She cries non stop as she remembers… remember about…

Cooper gang safe house

The garage

Ben and Diana had arrived in their safe house. Diana back to her room to get a good sleep and Ben put the cake on the fridge. He walks to the room where the unnamed fox were still lied down in the bed right now. Before he's heading to his room, Jester went out from his room and calls him.

"Hey, boyo, you already arrived, huh?" Ben nods and staring to Jester.

"Where's Diana?" Jes asked

"She's in her room. Why?"

I've got something to ya'." He persuades Ben to his room.

"What is it?"

"No, I just concern about the file we've found from that fox bag pack."

"What's all about?"

"Not much, just this…" Jester appearing in his computer in the news web; Red-cross raid against Interpol in Lyon (17 dies)', 'Viktor the red wolf strikes again. Bombs in London (36 dies)', 'Viktor: Bombing shouldn't be enough. The massacre in Berlin Terminal (68 dies).', 'I'm not Russian. I'm un-nationality and neutral person. Bombs in Kremlin wall and red square (105 dies)', and 'Viktor is the most wanted as death the main goal.'

"Unbelievable, this man isn't bounty hunter, thief or something. He's a killer." Ben's eyes widened and concern.

"More than killer. It says its uncounted casualties he'd done every act." Jes lean on his chair.

"What our connection to him?" Ben asked by grinned to Jester.

"I read the news that he had a project to develop in process."

"And what is that?"

"No idea. It seems that's our authority, if we know it more"

"You seem out of idea, huh?" Jester nods.

"Wait, how about if I could to hack the Interpol mainframe computer system and I download it to mine. It located the upper floor." Ben explained.

"Why you didn't say so."

"Well, you can do that right?"

"Actually… the computer system is really hard to hack. Unless…"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you put this in the mainframe computer main port system, then you'll wait until the copy is done and gave it to me."

"What's that?"

"It's multiple data downloader device (it shaped like DSM in level "loose end" in MW2, but it must plug it to the computer). You plug the cable into the mainframe port. Then wait until it done? That's sounds easy thought."

"How long did it done?"

"Well, the average copy elapsed time about… forty-five… minutes."

"45 minutes? Is there can any faster?"

"Sorry, bro, that's the faster. Unless you gave me time to modify it to make it fast."

"All right, make it count. I'll go take a rest." Jester nod as he pick the Device to modified it. Ben took a rest as he passes the room where the fox is still fallen sleep.

He went through the corridor by heading to his room. It appears photos, books, and his old child pirate stuff in the cupboard. He sighs by heading to his bed and fall to sleep. Before he falls to sleep he reminds when he kisses Amanda last night. It was terrific and Romantic actual. Then few moments later, he sigh before close his eyes and fall to sleep.
