Chapter 1
10 Days later London
Do Kyungsoo
Code name D.O
Kyungsoo groaned as his sore body hit the ice water. Some of it flowed the edge of bathtub making the floor wet, but that was the least of his problems. The bathroom was nice, luxurious even, with pristine white tiles, stained red by his own blood. It would be one hell of a mess to explain to the hotel staff but he'd bribed the cleaning lady to keep her silent. Gently tracing the fingers of his left hand over his broken ribs, he took a swig of the whiskey with his right letting his mind wonder to dead friends.
He only stayed in the bath for five more minutes, not wanting to subject himself to frostbite. Placing the half empty glass next to the basin, he went to the wardrobe in the unlit hotel room to get his metal cigarette case from his coat. Fishing it out together with a crumpled up photo. Frowning he brought both of his finds back to the stark light of the bathroom. It portrayed himself cured into an embrace with Kai. Kyungsoo let out a slow breath and lit the photo on fire, letting it fall into the sink so he wouldn't burn his already bruised hands. While watching the evidence of something very dangerous turn to ashes, he lit a cigarette. As the nicotine started to do it's job, he started doing his. Attending various wounds with the appropriate treatments.
A few band aids, bandages and painkillers later he was starting to feel more like himself. Taking the glass of whiskey with him to the bedroom he looked into the open wardrobe, now with the lights on. Staring back at him was four immaculate and not to mention expensive suits and dress shirts. Picking out an all black ensemble, the only color being the silver belt buckle and cuff links. As if on cue the phone rang, it was the desk clerk informing him that his taxi had arrived. Downing the rest of the whiskey, grabbing his shin length coat and a pair of sunglasses, he exited his accommodation.
The cab was waiting right outside the entrance, Kyungsoo got in, confirm the destination and they were off. The cabby was luckily the silent type, and he didn't protest or ask for one when Kyungsoo lit his second cigarette of the day. At the journeys end he tipped well, it was after all the governments money so he might as well give some back to the people.
The building was white, grand and packed with people. Passing the queues some gave him a few stares but the guard at the front desk let him in quickly after scanning his id card, hastily picking up the phone to announce his arrival to Kim Junmyeon, who met Kyungsoo at the top of the elevator with a "You're late," In response to this he removed his sunglasses. Junmyeon inhaled sharply, "that's a nasty black eye" Kyungsoo never being the one for small talk smiled thinly, Junmyeon got the hint.
"We're in room seven"
Entering room seven together they seated themselves on either side of the table. Kyungsoo placed his flip lighter and cigarette case on the table slowly. Lighting one he asked,
"where is Lay?"
Junmyeon gave him a look before answering, "Due to recent events he will not be joining us." Kyungsoo knowing better glanced at the mirrored glass as Kris Wu stepped through the door and placing himself next to Junmyeon who after asking if everyone was ready pressed the record button.
"The voices on record are as following; I am Senior director and officer Kim Junmyeon and with me today I have Kris Wu of the US Central Intelligence Crevice and returning British operational officer Do Kyungsoo"
Kyungsoo leaned forward in his seat and added calmly, "Before we begin, sir, can I make an official request that Mr Wu will be removed from the debriefing" Junmyeon without flinching answered in a calm voice,"Request Denied"
Kyungsoo continued,"The subject of this debriefing is't for the CIA to hear"
"Mr Do, You are are the subject of this debriefing"
Kyungsoo cut in and for a second they were both talking at once before Kris cut them off,
"I was there in Berlin, mr. Do, and I'm here now with the full accusative authority of America. If it will make you more comfortable I can stand behind that mirror with everyone else, but it's a little crowded " Kyungsoo took a drag of his cigarette but before it touched his lips he uttered "Wanker" under his breath. Kris looked shocked, and sputtered
"What did you say?" a tense moment passed when Kyungsoo held his gaze before giving him an innocent look and replied sweetly,"I didn't say anything" Junmyeun looked up from his papers,"Sorry, but I heard you said something"
"Well you must have misheard" Kyungsoo answered sweetly
"I heared him said something" Kris fumed
"What did he say?" Kris suddenly looked uncomfortable glancing between the two britts. Kyungsoo still looking as innocent as lamb let a moment pass before inquiring,
"Should we play the tape back?", and taking another drag at his cigarette. When no one answered he continued ,"well then, shall we begin?"
