Here is Chapter 8 people, Enjoy!xxxooo
Thomas, Eiji and Kirito were walking down Midtown Manhattan to meet their contact at the apartment building were they believe Riku Gorshefski is residing, they reached the buildings entrance were the man in a Brown Fedora hat Kirito met in the coffee shop stood smoking a cigarette looking away, Thomas nudged Kirito forward.
''Why me again?'' he asked.
''You were the one he saw first, safer that way'' he replied, Kirito walked slowly up to the man.
''Er... Star's and Stripes'' Kirito said, the man looked at him and then at the two other men and motioned them to the allyway, they followed.
''Christopher Bennet, CIA'' said the man in a brooklyn accent showing his badge to them as soon as they were in the alleyway.
''Thomas Mctrench, of the British GLA cell'' Thomas introduced ''and these two are my partners from the Japanese cell'' he added pointing to Eiji and Kirito.
''These the ones Goldking hired from Japan?'' Chris asked ''Can we trust them?''
''With our lives'' Thomas confirmed ''Boy's this is Christopher Bennet of the CIA, he was an ex-US marine before he joined the Agency, served... two tours in Syria right?'' he asked Chris.
''Try three'' Chris corrected him ''received the medal of honer in the second'' he informed ''And who are you two?'' he asked Eiji and Kirito.
''Eiji Nochizawa'' Eiji introduced himself.
''Kazuto Kirigaya'' Kirito said making Chris smile.
''No way Kirigaya?'' he asked astonished ''CIA's been after that asswipe Kayaba since the Incident... I tell you, if he hadn't bumped himself off he would have been facing 30 years for what he'd done''
''Sure'' Kirito said unsurely
''Anyway enough with formality's'' Chris said ''CIA's been though the housing records in Manhatten and we come across Dr Riku Gorshefski, a single 45 year old Japanese/Russain male, PHD in Energy Physics and Human Neural-biology, studied in Washington University before being recruited by Suguo Nobuyuki to assist in the inhumane research of mind control'' Chris informed them ''We tracked Riku to this apartment were he has lived since Suguo's arrest, unemployed and living on the country's taxpayers backs'' he added bitterly.
''Shall we be off then?'' Eiji asked ''the sooner we get the document the better''
''Right lets go, and keep an eye out, Suguo may have sent people to find him'' Chris said as they walked out the alleyway and into the building, Kirito looked at the housing record book on the desk:
R. Gorshefski
Number 15
Floor 6
''Number 15, floor 6'' he relayed to the team
''Alright, lets take the elevator'' Thomas said pressing the button.
''Ahh!'' Chris clutched his side in annoyance while they were in the elevator.
''You okay Mr Bennet?'' asked Eiji as he held his hand out to help. Chris nodded and helped himself up.
''Sorry, It's fine'' He assured ''Old war wound playing up a little, that's all'' he added.
The four agent's stepped out of the elevator on floor 6, walked silently across the hallway until Chris held his hand up to signal that they are at number 15.
''Guns out, he may be armed'' Chris whispered as he pulled out a M1911 while the others did the same with their Glock 18's, Chris grabbed the doorknob while Eiji and Thomas waited on the left side of the door with Chris and kirito on the right.
''Kirito, the pen'' Thomas whispered to him, Kirito got out the pen, clicked it once and put the tip through the keyhole, he fiddled around with it until he heard a click, Chris slowly twisted the doorknob and then quickly pushed the door open and ran in gun in hand.
''CIA put your hands up!'' he yelled only to find that no one was in the house, the apartment was in a mess, drawers open, dirty dishes in the sink, clothes scattered across the floor and a bowl of stale cereal was on a small table by the tv.
''Clear'' he said slightly disappointed.
''Damm, you though he'd take better care of his house'' Kirito said as he put his gun back in his holster.
''Damm right, my sons room looks tidier then this fuckin shithole'' Thomas said kicking a t-shirt on the floor.
''You don't think Sugou's men got here before us do you?'' Eiji asked Chris.
''No, if they did the door would be unlocked and they would have turned the whole place upside-down to find the document'' Chris said as they looked at the mess ''Hes probably gone somewhere, take a look around, see if we can find the document'' he ordered.
Kirito looked in the drawers but only found sock and boxers, Chris looked in the bathroom to find it empty, Eiji was looking in the kitchen.
''Find anything useful?'' Chris asked him as Eiji was looking in the refrigerator.
''Not unless the CIA need's a bunch of egg salad'' he replied sarcastically.
''I'll pass'' Chris said jokingly pitching his nose.
''Guy's! Guy's you should come and see this!'' Thomas called from the bedroom, the other dashed in to find an opened suitcase on the bed.
''He's done a runner'' Chris said.
''That's not all, I found this in the suitcase'' Thomas said holding a piece of paper, Eiji took it and saw a random buch of number and letter's on it:
H7X14LK6D5528
''What does this mean?'' he asked, Chris grabbed it and looked at it.
''Not a clue, probably important though, mind if I hold on to it? CIA's gonna want a report back in Washington'' he asked folding it up and putting it away in his suit pocket.
''Sure be my guest'' Kirito said ''Still though, why leave and forget his suitcase?''
''Must have been in a hurry'' Thomas suggested as they walked back to the living room but before they could reach the door, they heard walking coming from outside, the step's got loader.
''Get to cover!'' Chris whispered ''Probably Suguo's men'' he added, Kirito and Eiji took cover behind the table and pointed their guns at the door while Thomas and Chris did the same except from behind the kitchen counter, the footstep's stopped outisde the door, the rustle of keys could be heard.
''Huh?'' a voice said from behind the door ''Could have sworn I lock it'' the door opened to reveal a middle aged man with white hair and green eyes behind a pair of glasses wearing a brown trench coat and carrying a few bags of food, he looked up to find the team pointing guns at him, he paused in shock, dropped the bags and then ran back out again.
''Damm it! Kirito after him, Eiji try and cut him off at the roof!'' Chris ordered as Eiji scaled over the windowsill on the right hand side while Kirito chased after Riku out the door, Kirito saw Riku run up the stairs and chased after him.
''Riku! stop right now!'' Kirito called out to him as he climbed the stairs.
''To hell with you!'' Riku called back as he ran, he pushed open a door at the end of the stairs to the roof and continued running to the stairs on the other side, until Eiji appeared at the top step pointing his gun at him.
''Nowhere left to run Gorshefski'' he said as he slowly walked up to him, Riku put his hands up and tuned to see Kirito pointing his gun, walking up to him.
''What the fuck do you people want from me?!'' Riku asked panicking as Kirito wrapped his free arm around his shouder.
''Just to ask you some questions'' Kirito said as he and Eiji escorted him back to his apartment.
Riku was sitting on a chair facing Kirito, Eiji and Chris as Thomas ties his hands and feet to the chair, he then joined the trio.
''Thomas Mctrench, GLA'' Thomas begun ''These are my partner's, now we are going to ask you some questions mate, and If you answer them honestly, we'll let you go, if not, things will get ugly, Understood?'' he asked, Riku nodded.
''First: Do you know Suguo Nobuyuki?'' he asked him.
''Who?'' Riku lied, Thomas motioned Eiji to him, Eiji cracked his knuckles and was about the hit Riku but he panicked.
''Okay, Okay, I know him alright!'' Riku admitted.
''Okay, second: Why did you run?'' Chris asked.
''I...I thought you were Sugou's people!'' Riku replied.
''Do I look like I would follow that piece of shit?!'' Kirito yelled.
''Easy Kazuto'' Thomas warned him.
''Sorry'' he replied.
''Third: How do you know Suguo?'' asked Eiji, Riku sighed.
''He came to one of my lectures on Neural Biology back in Washington, he offered me a place of work after I graduated, he said that I could work to archive something great, that would change the world, I had no idea he was recruiting me to help him in his... perverted science, I left as soon as he was arrested, but now hes out, he'll be after me he's probably sent men to kill me right now!'' he finished.
''Why?'' Eiji asked.
''Sugou isn't a fan of loose ends'' Riku chuckled ''We never worked close together during the time anyway... only Von Kelpps has'' he revealed.
''Who?'' Kirito asked.
''Hector Von Kelpps, old Nazi German scientist from the war, I was his lab assistant, I help him stabilize the Boreilum for the drive'' he revealed.,
''What?'' Chris asked.
''I'm sure you all are familiar with the UFO crash in Briton back in 2008, British scientist's found a power source 10 time as effective and efficient then any other in recorded history, the British used the Boreilum to power their cites, advance their army's. They quickly became the most powerful and richest country in all of Europe. But that was not the only UFO crash, Back in 1940, a similar UFO much smaller crashed in Finland, The Nazi's found and obtained a live sample of the source and attempted to use it to power the fascists Reich'' Riku finished.
''Were is this Hector?'' Chris asked.
''I don't know, I can't remember'' Riku lied, Eiji went to punch him again but Riku panicked.
''Siberia! Siberia! the old lab was hidden in Siberia, maybe he's still there!'' Riku told them.
''Siberia, It had to be fucking Siberia'' Eiji said with a huff.
''What's wrong?'' Kirito asked them.
''Place is a fucked up war zone due to the Ukrainian war'' Thomas revealed ''We'll report back to Goldking, contact Sergei from the Russian cell to see if he can help'' he added as they got up to leave.
''One moment fella's'' Chris said halting them ''I have one more question to ask you'' he turned to Riku and showed him the paper.
''What is this?'' he asked.
''I don't know'' Riku lied, Chris bashed him on the face with the back of his gun, Riku's nose bled.
''Only asking you once Riku'' Chris said sternly ''What, is, this?''
''It's the activation codes of the drive'' Riku revealed ''But it's useless with out the live sample to connect with, without either one the drive will not work, you need both of them''
''Hector has it?'' Kirito asked him as Chris put the paper back in his pocket.
''If anyone's got to have it, it'll be him!'' Riku said, Chris smiled darkly.
''That's all I wanted to know'' he said before he shot Riku in the head, killing him, Thomas and Eiji pointed their guns at him but Chris grabbed Kirito by the neck with his arm and held him close pointing his gun at Kirito's forehead.
''Drop your weapons!'' Chris shouted ''Or the Jap gets a bullet in his fucking skull!''
''Chris how could you?'' Thomas asked ''Your CIA!''
''Was'' Chris said '' But I quit to fight for the just''
''My god'' Thomas said ''Your working for Sugou aren't you?''
Chris chuckled ''That's were your wrong pal, I think you'll find that i'ts the exact...opposite'' he revealed with a dark grin.
''He works for you?!'' Eiji asked shocked, Kirito's eye's widened.
''That's right boys'' Chris revealed ''I'm the one who's calling the shots here''
