Yaayyy, Chapter 8 is reaaady! :D
Chapter 8
Location Classified
The man was sitting in a dark room. As usually, he was wearing a perfectly ironed suit of silk.
All his life, he was searching for the clues, but now it seemed pointless to him.
"All those idiot Cahills fighting for a serum which kills them if they take it…" He muttered to himself.
As he opened the dossier on his desk, a pink sheet of paper fell out of it. In the darkness it was impossible to read the letters on it, but that didn't bother him.
For years now, he had read the letter every day, the sentences on it got burned into his brain forever.
5000 Dollars… to kill someone special. Special – especially for him.
But the past is the past.
It wasn't just an assassination. With that woman appearing out of nowhere, it was now super important.
" She traveled in time… hmm…" the man was thinking "… She used that stone, means that the Fuegpiedra will reveal its location in the future… But when? Will I live enough to know it?" he closed his eyes.
He knew it wasn't right to think about such things as death, but as he got older and older, the fear in him got stronger.
He had to admit: his youth was history.
Suddenly a woman entered the room, interrupting his thoughts.
" Sir, Patricia Oh has arrived. She wants to talk with you. She said it was urgent."
He opened his eyes again, looking at his secretary. " Youn-Sook, call her in, please!"
Without waiting, Patricia appeared in the door. The next moment she pronounced the sentence he was waiting for years.
" The day has come. The gem has been used, uncle. "

An hour later all the Ekat forces were sent to track Isabel Kabra down.
Sinead Starling, who was in Egypt nearly exploded from anger.
She'd organized a meeting in the Hotel Royal (which was an Ekat stronghold) with Ms. Oh, but the woman hadn't shown up.
Finally, when she asked the receptionist where the branchleader was, she received a short, but unequivocal answer.
"Away."
Then the indignant girl decided to leave, to go back to the CCC* in the USA.
But first, she needed a coffee - as cold as possible – to calm herself down.
However, instead of walking to the world-popular Café Luxor, she turned back.
She left her handcase in the conference room.
Sinead ran as fast as possible. That bag couldn't get into wrong hands.
As she arrived, the sirens of the hotel went off.
All she could see was a guy in black leather jacket on a motorbike.
He jumped with his vechile above the crowd of furious Ekats who were trying to catch him, and disappeared behind the palm trees with Sinead's handcase and the Madrigal documents about the Fuegpiedra in it.
Whoah, it was fun to write this one, I hope it'll be the same feeling for you reading it! What to say... Every story needs a major antagonist, doesn't it?
So any guesses who the man at the start was? If I were you, I had two ones, but luckily as an author, I know his identity.
However I can make you sure, that I wouldn't let the cat out of the bag. At least not now. Muhaha! *evil laughter*
But to show mercy on you, I tell you that the motorcyclist is a Lucian who will have a great role in the story.
Oh, what have I done! You evil guys are getting spoilers out of me without even saying a word! I'd better go now. See ya!
