Paris, France
Krysta Fuller felt a sudden chill rush up her spine as she walked through the doors into the main office entrance despite it being cool outside with a constant light rain, as she always felt odd coming to the main Raven's Gate Organization Headquarters on such short notice do to it usually involving a dangerous mission for her. Despite only being 22 years of age and being a slight and slender blonde, she was only 5'3 and 115lbs with Blonde hair and brigh hazel eyes, she had already established herself as one of the Organizations premier assassins and operations agents usually taking some of the most dangerous and dirty assignments. But she didn't mind, she could easily have sex with a man and then slit his throat as well as kill her own family if it was necessary. Yet still the cold serious town of the building always gave her chills. She brushed the rain off her knee length black suede coat, allowing a glimpse of her White sweater and black skirt and boots underneath, and walked towards the main desk and security guard.
"Bonjour Miss Fuller, You are expected up in the conference room on the 6th floor." The security guard said in French while standing up from his desk and smiling to Krysta. She noticed he was new and was armed with a new Russian pistol and a German G3A3. "Merce sir." Krysta replied to the guard while also showing a reserved and forced smile. "Miss Fuller, you have to leave all weapons here with me at the desk right now before you head up." Krysta stopped dead and went cold at the comment. Never had she ever been asked to leave her weapons, unless it was to meet with the organization's head. Waiting a couple of seconds Krysta then reached down and hiked up her skirt a couple inches and pulled her SigSauer P228 from her hidden thigh holster along with a reserve magazine and placed them on the desk, she then reach into her boot and pulled out a knife hidden in her right boot. She smiled slightly at the look from the security guard as she pulled out her last item, a hidden small derringer pistol hidden in the left boot. Krysta knew she was beautiful, she could say without any vanity that she could turn any mans head and make him want her, and most men found it impossible that such a delicate and innocent looking woman could carry such a deadly arsenal.
Without any further wait she walked to the furthest elevator reserved only for special people, swiped her secret transmitter over the scanner and when she saw the green light she pressed the up bottom. When the elevator arrived she pressed six and took the short ride to the 6th floor. When she stepped out she noticed Mikhail Leonid, the head of security for Raven's Gate, standing outside the conference room door. 'Great that Russian pig is here, this must be important.' She walked by him with barely a look and entered the room. When she entered the conference room she immediately sized up the occupants. Sitting at the head of the table was the man who had recruited her into this field Nigel Covington, the head of Raven's Gate Covert Missions; Standing behind him and slightly to the side was Dr. Jachim Weber, head of Scientific Research and an expert in BioTechnology; off to one side were two hard looking and rough males about her age which she didn't recognize, and on the other side of the table sat a huge surprise to her, a small woman about her size and weight with a more petite figure though and Jet black hair, but what was most striking about her was her eyes, they seemed red.
"Ahh, Krysta you're the last to arrive, so if you'll take a seat we can get this briefing started." Covington said. Krysta took her seat on the side of the other female and glanced around the room detecting the threat of each room member. "So, ladies and gentlemen you have all been summoned here for a very dangerous and secret mission, each of which requires your special talents." Covington continued as he pressed a button and a holographic image emitter appeared in the middle of the table and displayed the image of a factory/laboratory looking building that looked to have taken massive damage to it.
She heard a whistle come from one of the men across the table who was tall, she guessed him to be about 6'3" and 220lbs he had long brown hair that came down below his eyes and he had a scar about 4inches long through his right eye and caused her to wonder if he had vision in that eye. "The building you see in front of you was a former Soviet biotechnology laboratory conducting research in Genetic Enhancement, and the development of engineered and enhanced soldiers under the disguise and actual cover of being an alternative energy research center. After the fall of the USSR the laboratory came under control of the Russian Mafia and then under the control of one of our legitimate corporations, working on Viral Weaponry and further Genetic Enhancement of Humans on top of genuinely looking for alternative fuel sources."
Covington gave everyone a second to absorb the information. Krysta contemplated the information she had just heard but wasn't really surprised; she knew that the organization was conducting Genetic Experiments on homeless derelicts as well as having developed drugs for the organization's mercenaries to improve their fighting abilities. "8 Days ago the laboratory suddenly blew up killing almost everyone there and the earliest estimate we have received is that the explosion was do to a fire in massive liquid oxygen tanks used there." The man with the scar spoke up "Have we been able to determine if the laboratory samples were damaged or released after the explosion?"
"Atmospheric samples indicate no but the biggest concern is separate and actually twofold. First, the Ukrainian government has sealed off the site and is not allowing anyone to enter despite our ownership and bribing of officials. And second to make matters worse the Ukrainian have asked Dr. Benton Quest to come and conduct an investigation of the site." The woman next to her then spoke up. "Fuck, Dr. Quest, if he's present then so is that bastard I-1 agent Race Bannon, meaning the U.S. Government is involved, that could be serious trouble if they discover anything, plus Dr. Quest fucking son Jonny will be there, along with Bannons bitch daughter Jessie." Krysta could sense the anger in the other woman's tongue at the mention of the last two names. Covington simply nodded and continued. "Yesterday we sent in an assault team to Dr. Quest's home in an attempt to kill him, but unexpectedly they were ambushed by the children and some friends resulting in 2 dead, 5 disabled or wounded and captured, and only 2 escaping one of whom with serious injuries."
Now Krysta whistled at the comment. '9 highly trained operatives were defeated and mauled by some worthless college students, they either got lucky or are incredibly good.' She thought. "Last we determined Dr. Quest, Mr. Bannon, Jonathon Quest, Jessica Bannon, and four others were on a plan headed for Kiev and should have landed about 2 hours ago. The other four member's identities we have only now identified; a Carrie Miller from Athens Georgia, Mariah Lee of San Diego California, Anthony D'Agistino of Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and Steven Edwards of Pheonix Arizona. They all are assisting Dr. Quest, and have been hired as new employees of Quest Enterprises."
Krysta nearly choked and coughed up her lungs when she heard HIS name. 'Oh My God what is he doing involved, of all the places in the world with all the people in the world, the one guy she could never resist and actually was able to get to her heart and effect her cold exterior had to be here and somehow involved in her new mission.' Krysta quickly regained her composure and rejoined the briefing. "We assembled the four of you because of your experiences with the Quests and their team on top of your specialties necessary for the mission. Patrick McCormick is a demolitions expert trained by the IRA before joining us, who also is a qualified scientist." Covington pointed to the man with dark red hair who Krysta figured to be about 5'9" and 155lbs and had a sinister look about him. Covington then pointed to the man with the scare before continuing. " Eric Chavez is a weapons expert and terrorism specialist who has worked in and around the Ukraine and Russia for us quite a bit, and has multiple connections in the Kiev underground and terrorist elements." Chavez only nodded a slight nod towards the others at his names mention. "Amanda Duroc, is one of our organizations best thieves who is great at accessing any location in the world and no one ever know she was there. Unfortunately she has been stopped only by the efforts of the Quests, and Jonathon and Jessica specifically, so she knows the Quests very well and exactly what we are up against."
Amanda spoke in a soft voice after Covington finished. " Before I was recruited by Raven's Gate I attempted to steal some Russian Imperial artifacts and jewels from the hermitage, well Jonny and Jessie stopped me and took my loot. Then when I attempted to seduce Jonny and developed feelings for him that bitch Jessie got in between and jealous and cost me not only my loot but my chance at having Jonny." Krysta listened intensively and was already beginning to piece together the plan and thoughts of Covington's plan when Covington turned to her smiled briefly and then got to the point that Krysta was starting to feel dread about. "Finally we have Krysta Fuller, perhaps the most important piece of our group. She is perhaps our little organizations best assassin. She also is our shrewdest mind and most cunning individual. She also has intimate knowledge of one of the new members to Dr. Quest's team having been in a relationship with him and knowing his mind. She is our counter to what our profilers feel is the wildcard of the group and one we have to worry most about but know little about."
Krysta went cold when she realized she was being asked by the organization to do the one thing she did not ever want to do, use her intimacy and knowledge of HIM in a plan to either use him or kill him. 'I just hope I don't have to seduce him or get intimate with him again. I don't think I can do it again, one look into those eyes again and I'm worthless.' Krysta looked at Covington with her cold heartless careless look she used almost constantly in life anymore and said. "Ok so now that we know each others life stories, what exactly is our mission?"
Covington gave a slight Machiavellian grin and indicated for Dr. Weber to step forward. " Your mission is to go with Dr. Weber here to assist him in clandestine investigation and recovery of important samples from our laboratories. Your mission also is to prevent by all means necessary Dr. Quest and his team from discovering the real purpose for the laboratory, and if available to kill all of the Americans with extreme prejudice." Krysta exhaled a sigh at hearing the last part, realizing that it was her job to do that, and doing that involved murdering the one person she had ever loved. "Any Questions?" Covington asked. Every head nodded a no. "Well then a Gulfstream jet is waiting at our airport to head to Kiev. It departs in 2 hours. Dismissed."
Krysta left the conference room with the others and took the elevator down to the lobby and collected her weapons. She then walked out of the covert Raven's Gate Organization Headquarters and down the street to the Peugot she kept for when she was at her Paris Apartment. She stepped into the car and headed towards her apartment to get her clothes and necessary equipment for this mission. 'So once again I get to see him again. Its been 3 years since that morning I snuck out of his bed after one last night of pleasure got on a plane, and left for Europe without ever saying goodbye or telling him where I went. I wonder if those eyes still look right into the pit of your soul and if they still will have that same affect on me now?' She looked at herself in the rear mirror as she pulled to a stoplight. 'I'm going to have to use every skill and feminine trick I have to pull this off. What a shame I'm going to have to kill him.'
