Chapter 5
"Are you sure, Alex. Are you sure this is it" asked Veronica doubtfully.
Dosh raised an eyebrow. "Are you doubting me? Me? The person who has never been wrong, in her life. Well except once when she chose to be friends with Veronica Evandoofus, the daredevil who wants to kill herself" said Alexandra using her hands to emphasize.
"Yep, pretty much" nodded Veronica. Alexandra frowned, and gave the document in Veronica's hand. She then started to walk away, ignoring Veronica's shouts. Veronica sighed, and heard her phone beep. She had gotten a message from Alex.
I forgive you, so don't start bawling. And don't doubt my map!
Love BFF (Alex) ;)
Veronica smiled. The map Alex was talking about was the map of the hospital Patton was staying at. Veronica had a photographic memory, she looked at it and then scrunched it up and threw it away.
Veronica quickly got changed into her new outfit. It was a nurse's uniform, the one used at Patton's hospital. She got all her things in her pocket. It included; a sleeper gun (for emergencies) and poison (essential to plan). She took a deep breath, then gulped as she pushed the door open and walked inside the hospital.
Meanwhile at KGB Headquaters
"Valentin you wanted to see me?" asked the General in a deep voice. He had his face turned to Valentin who took a deep breath and answered.
"Yes, it is bout the little girl, Veronica"
"I thought we had discussed the matter in the last meeting" replied the General in a slightly raised voice.
It had been a few days since the meeting, and Valentin had spent every minute of each day trying to schedule a meeting with the General. And they finally met in a dark empty room.
"That was when, the girl, was holding a gun and almost shot me" shouted an outraged Valentin.
"You shouldn't have insulted her. But keep in mind that if by your raised voice it means you don't respect me anymore, than it will be a real attempt you have to worry about" replied the General, his voice still even, but a sudden chill to his voice.
Valentin gulped. "Of course not. But you can not forget the fact that-" answered Valentin quickly.
The General raised his hand, and made a waving hand motion towards the door. Valentin looked like he wanted to protest but decided otherwise and hurried out if the room.
The General turned to the darkness. " You can do this Veronica. I have done my calculations, you cannot fail" he whispered. And looking at the darkness he was lost in thought.
