The characters and the plots belong to Listelia and, very important, to their respective and rightful owners. I got authorization from Dolphinheart99 to take some elements of her stories. I therefore own nothing, minus the names of my OCs.

Several hours after one of his patrols was eliminated, Sponsz and some of his men arrived at the location to see the bodies. As Sponsz's men secured the place to prevent anyone from coming towards them, Sponsz himself took time to find clues of anyone helping Tintin, since he had been tricked by Tintin and Captain Haddock, with some help from Bianca Castafiore, her maid Irma and Castafiore's pianist Igor Wagner... twice! Sponsz therefore wanted total revenge for these two times he had been tricked.

Meanwhile, Reese and her men accompanied Tintin and his group through the mountainous terrain. However, Thomson didn't stop complaining since Reese and her squad didn't stop for hours. The US Marines had already scolded him and Thompson several times, to no avail, since the two detectives didn't stop complaining for hours. Despite Reese telling everyone not to yell, the Thompson twins kept moaning about their fate, since their shoes were in shambles, their suits worn out and their feet were aching.

"My feet hurts, my legs hurt. And none of you complain, since Tintin can carry Snowy and the Americans wear big boots." Thompson said.

"To be precise, my limbs hurt, since Snowy just has to carry Tintin and the big boots wear the Americans!" Thomson replied.

"Shut the fuck up." one of Reese's Marines sternly instructed.

With that, the group kept walking through the mountain pass, where they knew they would be safe for a while, since there was a road below their location on the mountain. The group just had to walk to the top and follow the ridgeline to reach their destination, since they all knew holding the top of a mountain would allow them to hold the road at the bottom. And indeed, Reese and her Marines arrived with their protectees at the top of the ridgeline. Reese motioned the group to keep on while she turned around. Looking through her binoculars, Reese saw Bordurian troops patrolling the roads and snow-covered plains below. Reese then spotted Sponsz just as Tintin joined her.

"Look who is there." Reese said.

"Sponsz! This guy will never get off my back!" Tintin said.

Reese then aimed her suppressed M27 rifle at Sponsz before her men joined her while Tintin and his group ran on the ridgeline for the border. Just as Tintin and his friends ran away from the Bordurians, Reese and her squad fired their suppressed M27s at the Bordurians. Many of Sponsz's men tried to fire back, but their AKs were too inacurrate for use against distant enemies and Bordurian soldiers were shot in large numbers by the US Marines, including Sponsz's right hand man. Sponsz then tried to fire his AK-74U rifle before being shot several times by Reese herself, as well as the rest of the squad. Sponsz was riddled with bullets, killing him instantly before Reese and her men caught up with Tintin and his friends.
