Episode 6 - Mombasa Cartel - No. 114
Lizzie heard the ding of the elevator overhead signaling her arrival to the penthouse floor of Red's, sorry Charles Kingston the third's, current hotel room. Lizzie mentally rolled her eyes with a grin on her face.
She had gotten a call from Dembe a little under a half an hour ago saying Reddington wanted to speak with her right away. Almost immediately after hanging up, she received a text giving her Red's location.
The St. Regis Hotel. Penthouse Floor. The Madison Suite. And the name Red was currently going by.
Lizzie had grown accustomed to luxury hotels, restaurants, and the like since working with Red so she wasn't at all shocked by the location.
Lizzie slowly stepped out of the elevator and immediately noticed Dembe standing guard just outside of a large white door at the end of the hallway.
"Dembe," Lizzie said with a smile.
"Good morning Agent Keen," Dembe replied softly as he opened the door for her to enter.
Lizzie stepped inside and looked around. From the furniture to the artwork to the flooring to the view, it all screamed money.
"Lizzie! In here," she heard to her left. Turning her head she saw Red was sitting cross-legged in the large living room watching television. She slowly made her way over to him.
"Make yourself at home! Grab one of those croissants. They make them with honey ham, goat cheese, spinach, and mushroom. They are to die for! There's coffee, orange juice, and water on there as well," Red said gesturing to the cloth lined table behind him.
Lizzie poured herself a glass of water and on second thought, picked up a croissant. She had to admit they did look good. She walked past Red and sank down to sit on the floor in front of the small coffee table in front of him.
As Lizzie took a bite, she turned her head to see what Red was watching.
"Animal Planet?" Lizzie asked.
"Very educational, Lizzie. And a great way to brush up on one's Australian accent," Red said with a grin.
Lizzie smiled and shook her head as she took another bite. They sat in silence for the next several minutes as Lizzie ate.
The show was now focusing on tigers when from behind, Lizzie heard the hotel room door open and shut softly. Turning to look, she saw Dembe walking over with a large folder in his hand. Red nodded to him and Dembe held out the folder for Lizzie to take.
Lizzie placed the folder on the table and began to comb through the handful of printed newspaper articles and letters all about wild animals.
"So nostalgic," Red says deeply as he clicked off the TV.
The End!
