Chapter 4

The mission begins

It had already been a few days since James and Kerry had entered Russia, and its beautiful city of St Petersburg, and since then they were both already underway planning the assault on the Construction site. Both were intent on finding out what was on in the construction site, but in the end it was Kerry who got that part of the mission. That meant James had to infiltrate one of the Russian gangs that were in St Petersburg and see what could be done to calm them down.

James relationship with Kerry had almost been rekindled on the plane, but his hopes were dashed, and over the past few days Kerry only concerns were with the mission. However James still tried to have the occasional chat but she kept changing the subject to other important factors. So James decided to continue on with the mission at his fullest intention and leave his matter with Kerry for later.

'See you later Kerry, I'm off the find more information on these gangs,' said James walking off to the door.

James over the past few days had been investigating over town about the gangs that inhabited it. He had talked to various people and gang members, many who were reluctant to say anything, except for one person who gave me his phone number to set up an appointment with the head Don of a gang called 'Bandana' whose arch rivals were the 'Blood Northerners'. This appointment would be set at the Gangs hideout, where James would pretend to be interested in being a member whilst searching for evidence.

'See ya, I'll be going off later to infiltrate the construction site, I just need to finish preparations.' Kerry said back and with a nod from James he was out of the door and on his way to the hideout.

James journey would take between 15-20 minutes to get to the hideout which was located in the South of St Petersburg. The usual atmosphere of the North side of the city intoxicated him with its rich atmosphere and beautified landscapes. James headed down his usual path, leaving footprints within the snow as he trudged on. After about 10 minutes James had reached the hideout, it was a small house, in a secured off part in the city. He noticed as he walked along the desolate alleyways and empty streets, he had officially entered the Bandanas territory.

James gave a knock at the door and after about a minute, standing there the door was unbolted, James imagined that he was probably identified by a hidden camera somewhere. A huge man stood at the door beckoning him in, he had a shaven head and huge hands, James dread the guy who would ever pick a fight with this man. He walked inside, the house was Victorian styled and looked very posh, the lights were dimmed and all the curtains had been shut. From James point of view he could only see three other rooms other than the one he was already in. The huge man pointed to a door which James headed to, opening it slowly to find an office with a long desk with two chairs one facing the window with man sitting in it.

James stepped over to one of the chairs and sat down; he was then faced with the back of the chair, which in an instance swivelled round to face James.

'So you are interested in becoming a member of the bandana, hmmmm?' said the Don, James presumed it was him, only his word would accept a member into the gang.

'Yes, I think you'll find me a valuable asset to your gang,' said James calmly

'You talk meaningless words to me, let me see your valuable assets,' said the Don

James smiled at the Don and produced a gun from his pocket, but the Don didn't move an inch his eyes completely focus on James. Not seeing a reaction James lifted the gun up to the window, focusing his eyes on his target and fired the bullet. As soon as this happened the huge man stepped into the room and saw James with the gun and the Don looking mystified by the event he had just witnessed. James however looked at the huge man back to the Don and leapt out the window, bringing back a dead squirrel. Placing it on the Dons desk, he saw a sight of impression cover his face, the huge man however stayed put.

'You seem to have tremendous skill, hmmmm now lets see you test for real combat,' he said, but for James everything wasn't going as clear cut as it seemed and rival gang members smashed through the windows of the house. The Don immediately clicked a button under the desk raising from it a huge machine gun which he grabbed hold of and rushed into the hall where a battle was being made between the cronies of either gang. James however stayed in the room and with the huge man now lying on the floor with a bullet in his head went over to the Don's desk and seeped through his files until finding the latest information inserted into the file. Grabbing hold of it James rushed through the window and into the garden.

Running round the back of the house, still hearing the clatter of bullets being fired within the building, made his way to the front where numerous dirt bikes had been parked on the front lawn.; Taking one James zoomed off with the file in hand and back to the hotel, with his part of a mission success he couldn't wait to see how Kerry got on with her's.

Hopefully Chapter 5 will be up tomorrow ;)
