Lord Bison was still angry when his plane descended towards the island. He was angry at himself for the way he had ignored the guidelines regarding the Dolls. He was also angry at Vega. Sure he had secured the parts but why had he waited until he got back to the island before informing him about Cammy. Why had he brought back his dead team but failed to bring back Cammy's body.
Vega was starting to develop a headache. For the past fifteen minutes he's had to hear lord Bison go on about how incompetent he had handled this whole business.
'-And I'm taking control over the doll project,' Bison told him. 'This way you can spend your time searching for her body and bring it back.'
'But señor, last time I saw her she was in the water. She could be anywhere now, on the bottom or out to the sea.'
'Then you better pack your scuba gear if I were you. I've invested far too much in her to let her float away.'
'Si, señor,' Vega said trying to hide his anger. In his mind he was already fantasising how he would deliver her corpse to Bison if he could find her. Propellors from those boats in the harbour could leave such nasty wounds.
'And another thing-,' Bison started but he was interrupted by his phone ringing.
'I'm busy,' he said.
'I'm sorry lord Bison,' said a voice on the other end. 'But you had ordered to put Crimson through whenever she called.' Bison walked to the other end of the room. 'Alright,' he spoke in a lowered voice. 'Put her through.'
Vega looked at Bison. There was something not right about this call. He didn't like the looks of this.
'Excellent,' Bison said and he put his phone away.
'Good news, señor?'
'Cammy is still alive and in the hands of Delta Red. I have her location.'
'Wonderful,' said Vega trying to hide his disappointment. 'I shall go and retrieve her at once.'
'No, you're a fine assassin but when it comes to these types of operations you have the tendency to screw things up. I'm not taking any chances on this one. I'll go myself.'
'No, no, señor Bison. The last thing you must do is involve yourself. Think of operation Typhoon and the research, they must not be compromised. The risk is too great.'
'Mmm…very well, I suppose your right. Yes…what was I thinking.' Bison felt betrayed by his own emotions for Cammy. He had chosen henchmen especially to keep him from getting his own hands dirty. They and the Dolls off-course. The Dolls, that's it.
'Your right Vega, I should not go myself. I'm sending two Dolls to retrieve her.'
'Dolls, but sir with all respect, they're not yet ready. They still have their training to complete and-'
'Damn it Vega, stop arguing every order I give. It's almost like you want her dead or something. I've read their reports. Their conditioning is complete and two should be more then enough for this type of mission. Find the two that are at their best and bring them to me.'
'Si,' was all Vega said and he walked out of the room.
