Chapter 2
Veronica stepped inside the room, it revealed a huge room. With people rushing around. There were others glued to their computers, looking st stuff that would seem alien to us. Probably encrypting messages, Veronica thought to herself. Others were shuffling papers, or reading through them. But others were whispering and talking between themselves. But suddenly a man appeared, he himself reflected a radiant glow of power. Every voice and sound in the room felt silent.
"Veronica, so long no see. I was afraid you weren't going to show up. You have grown into quite a young lady, but you never have any time. Follow me, we have much to discuss. I would also like to thank you for coming" his voice boomed.
"The pleasure is all mine. And how could I refuse an invitation from you? But now is not the time for chitchat. As you said before I'm a busy young lady. I am pretty sure I was needed for an assassination, if not then I have somewhere else to be" she said coolly. There were faces of shock and disbelief, nobody alive had ever talked to the general like that, certainly not a little girl.
"You are absolutely right. Follow me, let's go to the meeting room." agreed the General. Veronica nodded and they walked away.
There was immediately a murmur of confusion after they left.
"How did she do that?"
"How can the General stand her, she is probably not less than twelve."
"More importantly, who is she". There was a sound of agreement than silence. Until a voice piped up.
"Whoever she is, she is so dangerous that even the General will let her go her way"
In the Meeting Room
The meeting room was a rectangular room. With a long table going through the middle, chairs along each side and a bigger one in the front of the table, it was empty. There was also a projector inside, that was used on the screen behind the large chair. Veronica sat on a empty chair, one of which was going along the side. She looked at the different people, they were looking at her face with confusion and face with hatred and disgust.
She remembered that face well, he was probably the only person who knew her here, his name was Valentin Falim. He was a rich business man, he had given a lot of money to KGB. He disliked Veronica the minute he sat eyes on her, he had tried several times to discredit Veronica and failed numerously.
The General sat on the sat at the front and held up his hand, to indicate he was starting the meeting.
"Welcome everyone. I have very little doubt that you have many questions on the girl sat here today, her name is Veronica. I will answer all other questions her later. We have come to discuss more pressing concerns, we have come to discuss the matter of an American General. We want him murdered, but in a way that nobody suspects us. I have asked Veronica here to take the job"
There was a voice of uproar. And Valentin's face was fuming.
"You choose this little girl? I think you are taking us as a fool, no? She is not capable of such a task!" demanded Valentin.
"I didn't even want to be here" Veronica said with a sudden edge to her voice that made everyone silent. "And the fool is usually the one who doesn't know how to speak well. That is a hopeless case, I can see well. But you should double your security. Because I know someone who entered all Hitler's defenses in less that hour, and almost killed him!"
"Are you threatening me" he demanded again.
"Yes. Yes I am." she replied evenly. And to prove it she got out her gun and shot it a millimeter above Valentin's head.
"How did she get it through security" he gulped.
"Enough of this squabbling." said the General rubbing his temple. "Veronica you will do the job, and Valentin don't complain about her".
They both nodded. But Valentin kept looking at Veronica's gun.
"Good, now your job is to kill the American General, George S Patton.
