Chapter 4
Julia was in her apartment in Rome, it was filled with classy furniture and interesting paintings. This was here home, well one of them. When she became Julia she'd bought apartments in a fair few major cities, you never know when you'll need a nice place to stay. A soft ringing woke her up in the morning; she'd slept in, something that rarely happened. She slipped on a dressing gown and walked over to the phone and picked it up and said "hello" her voice void of all emotion.
"Julia, I have a job for you"
"The roses are beautiful this time of year" Julia said saying the first phrase of her code.
"Yes, but careful of its hidden thorns. Satisfied Ms Thorn?"
"Quite, may I know who I am talking to?"
"My name is Mina, I need something….acquired for me"
"Certainly, le belle nourriturre café in 1 hour, I'll be carrying a white rose" and hung up the phone and got dressed into A pair of dark brown trousers, long sleaved cream shirt and a double breasted coat, she picked up her bag making sure she had all of her guns and knives hidden correctly and then left for the café.
"Miss Thorn" a voice coming from a slender woman forced Julia to lower her menu.
"Mina I presume?" Julia asked
"Yes" She said nervously glancing at the people around them "is there somewhere more….private we could discuss my business proposition?"
"Of course, Georgiou?" Julia called a waiter over to their table "Could you show us to the private booth?"
"Of course miss Thorn, this way" Said the waiter leading them into a room with a table and chairs in it.
"Feel better Mina?" Julia asked
"Much, thankyou" Mina replied
"Now to business what exactly is it that you want me to steal?"
"Well, a new Russian weapons system has been created. I need you to steal the prototype and the files on how to create it"
"This weapon is being stored I a military base, round the clock surveillance, 24 hour guards. This isn't going to come cheap"
"I'm willing to pay 2 million for that weapon"
"Good we have a deal then, I'll need a contact number for obvious reasons"
"Well heres my cell and email" she said handing Julia a piece of paper, she started to walk out and suddenly turned around "Julia, just remember I don't care how you do it just that it gets done"
