"Thanks for telling me X but I just found that out," she mumbled slowly raising her hands.

            The cold muzzle of the gun against her neck sent shivers down her spine as the person took the gun from her hand and left her empty-handed. Knowing what was coming next she locked her fingers together behind her head and slowly stood up. The gun prodded her forward and she slowly started walking down the hill with a sigh. Her captor and she walked through the woods and across a small creek before stepping into the clearing. Walking into the cabin she looked at Xander who was on his knees with his hands tied behind his back. She glared at the man who was holding onto her bag and coat along with her Sauer.

            "Glad you could make it Samine," Monoclay said as he slowly walked around her as she dropped her hands to her side.

            "Yeah we'll I never miss a party," she said grimly staring at Xander.

            "It was such a pity to discover you were an undercover agent. I think you and I would have made a good couple," he said stopping behind her and looked her up and down.

            "Already moving onto another girl? News of Latia's death must have been hard on you."

            "A woman is just about the same as a dog or cat. Once you're done with one, toss it out and get a new one. They're expendable," he said as he reached up and moved Samine's hair to the side to reveal her bare neck.

            "Don't you dare touch me you bastard," she sneered slapping his hand away from her throat and glared at him.

            His eyes turned cold as his hand wrapped around her throat and lifted her into the air. Her hands grabbed at his hands and tried to pry his fingers open as she kicked the air. Xander moved to stand up but stopped when a gun was forced into his face and he slowly went back to his knees. Samine was gasping for air and rasping in hope to say something.

            "You had better watch your mouth bitch or you'll be missing it soon," he snarled as her struggles became weaker.

            "Let her go!" Xander yelled as Monoclay looked over at him.

            Tiring of that game he released her and walked away as Samine fell to the floor coughing and dug her fingers into the wood floor. Her other hand was protectively holding her throat as she gasped for enough air. Looking up at Xander he flinched at the anger and malice in her eyes as she glanced at him and back at Monoclay.

            "You okay Samine?" Xander asked quietly and she slowly nodded.

            "You don't know how much I'll enjoy killing you Monoclay," she rasped as he turned back to look at her.

            "Kill me? You're going to kill me? Look around you bitch, it's hopeless. You're just another headstone to me," he said and motioned to his guards.

            They walked over to Samine and Xander and pulled them to their feet as Monoclay walked past them and out the door. The guards pushed them after him and they walked out in the cold after Monoclay and watched as he pulled the tarp off the missile. Samine automatically looked the missile over and recalled any information she had on missiles.

            "This is my baby that I've been nurturing for the past few months. I hope you're proud of me," he laughed looking at Samine and Xander.

            "Can someone be proud of an insane person?" Samine asked calmly cocking her eyebrow at him as he walked up to her.

            He smiled maliciously at her before bringing his hand up and slapped her across her face. Samine leapt at him but was stopped when the guards around her caught her around her waist and held her back.

            "Samine! Don't lose your cool. That's all you've got right now," Xander snapped as she slowly looked over at him before stepping back from the guards and popped her shoulders.

            "You gave her good advice Mr. Cage. Wouldn't want that pretty face to get scratched up."

            "Oh just you wait," Samine sneered as Monoclay opened a small panel on the side of the base for the missile.

            "Oh I'll be waiting don't you worry. Once I launch this missile it will exploded over your New York City and…well you know what Ricin can do. Then all that's left is to wait for Washington to launch a counterattack into European and Russian territory and behold. You have World War III in a can. So I'd say you have about thirty minutes till your countries bombs exploded into this area. So precious little time left for the rest of your miserable little life," he said with his back to them as he punched a few keys on the small keyboard.

            Before anyone could say anything the base started to lift the missile into the air and Monoclay pulled out the arming key and slipped it around his neck. He walked away from the missile as everyone followed and stood away from the missile. Samine flinched at the loud sound of the missile's engine igniting and felt the intense heat from the burners. Turning her head away from the glare she saw everyone shielding their eyes from the intense light from the flames and nudged Xander's arm. He looked at her and she looked at the guards and at Monoclay. Understanding her subtly glances he nodded and she quietly counted.

            "Now!"

            She spun and slammed her head into the guard closest to her who was also holding her gun. Catching it in mid-air she fired one shot through a guard's chest and smiled to herself when it went completely through and killed the guard behind him.

            "God I love this gun."

Xander kicked out and broken the knee of the guard to his side and soccer kicked his head when he landed on the floor. He ducked when another tried to punch him and slammed into his body pushing him into the wall. He head butted the guard and turned to see Monoclay heading towards the snowmobiles.

"Samine cut me lose!" he yelled as Samine snapped the neck of the last guard.

Grabbing her pack from the corpse she pulled out a five inch blade and grabbed his hands to steady them. Slashing the rope she tossed the blade up and grabbed the blade as she spun and threw it at a guard that had just came around the corner and looked back at Xander as the guard fell dead to the snow with the blade buried in his chest up to the hilt.

"Go and get Monoclay, and bring back that key around his neck. I'll clear out the area," she said as Xander pulled off the bits of rope.

Spinning he ran towards Monoclay who had just gotten the snowmobile started and headed towards him. Almost when Monoclay was on top of him he stepped to the side and grabbed the front of Monoclay and held onto him as the snowmobile left him behind him before Xander slammed him into the ground.

"Let's talk Monoclay."
