Previously...

"Here you go." Matt had pulled an extra shirt out of nowhere and handing it to Linus, who looked at it, his expression a mixture of amusement and chagrin.

"Pink? Really?" The shirt was indeed pink. Not a tasteful pale pink but a full out fluorescent, only Rusty would wear this color, kind of pink.

Nicky takes one look at it and bursts out laughing, doubling over and clutching her stomach and Linus looked up and glared at her.

There's a comfortable silence for a few minutes before Linus tensed again and looked up, just as the sound of a gun cocking breaks the silence.

Apprentices, Another Russian, and a warning

Everybody froze, a look of shock on their faces, except Linus whose face actually seemed to have a slight note of amusement.

"You really shouldn't use scented anything." Linus smirked slightly at a shadow.

"I don't!" A voice huffed out and a man stepped forward. He was average height, with shaggy dark hair and a crisp clean suit on.

"Your drycleaner uses a scented soap, Paz." Linus had relaxed again and was trying to put on the pink shirt he had been holding. At the other's questioning glance, Linus gave him a one-shouldered shrug, " 's not mine."

Nicky and Matt had long since relaxed and Tess and Isabel had too once Linus and the newcomer, Paz, hadn't started fighting. Rusty and Danny, on the other hand, hadn't yet. They were too busy watching the way he way Paz and Linus interacted. The two seemed to be having to conversations at once. One was the conversation they were saying and verbalizing and the other was their body language. The two seemed to read each other's body language and respond instinctively.

"Don't try to figure it out. It'll just give you a headache." Nicky smiled at the two knowingly, "I tried. Still couldn't get it. Hey, Paz. Long time no see."

Rusty and Danny glanced over to find that Paz was smiling at Nicky and then turned to look at them.

"That's Danny and Rusty." Linus was still trying to get his injured arm into the sleeve without pulling his stitches.

Nicky sighed, exasperated with Linus's struggles and got up, "Stop before you hurt yourself more!"

Paz smiled as Linus allowed her to help him and Tess asked, "Are they together?"

"No, but they should be." He chuckled slightly.

"Paz, did Landy send you?" Linus and Nicky had finished getting the shirt on and Linus now looked almost like nothing had happened.

Paz shifted and Linus seemed to respond with a raised eyebrow and his own shift in stance. Another shift in response and Linus pulled out his cell phone and tossed it to the other and gave a verbal response, "Call her."

Paz frowned but followed the instructions, going outside to talk.

"How do you know Paz?" Danny was the first to ask what him, Rusty, Tess and Isabel all had been wondering.

"He's another assassin. Never actually finished his training." Danny glanced over at Rusty as he realized that Linus was more or less Paz's mentor and that Paz was older then Linus.

"So you're like his mentor?" Rusty paused enough or Linus to nod before his next question, "But he's older then you right?"

Linus raised an eyebrow, "Yeah, he joined a couple years after me."

Any more questions were cut off by Paz's reentry, "She coming to pick up the Russians."

Linus nodded and Tess decided now was as good a time as any, "Who's Landy?"

Linus and Paz glanced at each other, "She works for the C.I.A. rather high ranking. Here's your phone back. Who you going to call?"

Taking the phone from Paz's outstretched hand, Linus glanced up, "Kirill."

Paz sputtered, "Kirill? Doesn't he work for the Russian Government?"

Linus thought for a second, "Yeah, kinda."

"Isn't he the guy who shot you in the shoulder, chased you through the streets of Moscow, crashed his car in said chase and then walked away from it because you didn't shoot him?"

"Yeah, that's him."

Paz opened his mouth to protest but was cut off by a Russian accented voice, "He is also standing right behind you."

Everyone (except Linus) whipped around and found a man of average height and build standing there. He had a buzz cut, slightly tanned skin, handsome face and wore a long black overcoat on top of jeans and an olive green, long sleeved t-shirt.

"Kirill."

"Jason." Kirill pulled out a folder and handed it to Linus.

Linus took it and placed it on the table, "Спасибо." (Thank you)

Kirill nodded curtly, "Будьте осторожны." (Be careful)

"You too." After Linus's response, Kirill turned nodded at Paz who relaxed before nodding back and noiselessly left.

"What's in the folder?" Isabel was staring curiously at the folder.

"Information." Linus didn't saw more before opening the flap and reading over the first document inside. He didn't even go to the next sheet before closing it again and glaring at it.

"What?"

Linus didn't verbally respond to Tess's question, instead he turned the folder towards them and opened it.

The sheet of paper was covered in handwritten Russian., Linus flipped to the next sheet, and explained "Translation."

Dmitri Petroshka. Meet with American (call JB). American name- Willy Banks. Service for 'hitters'. Banks gives picture. Eleven men. JB looks to be present. Cons. Robbed Banks casino. Revenge.

"Banks hired the Russians." Danny said stopping partway through the translation.

"Keep reading."

Petroshka recognize JB. Tells Banks id. TROUBLE.

Paz stared at Linus, "This Banks man knows who you are." It was a statement, not question.

"Yeah. Also, a 'hitter' has been sent after everyone." The last part was aimed at Danny and Rusty who stared at him.

"What?"

"Every member of 'Ocean's Eleven'" amusement colored Linus's tone slightly at the 'name' of the crew, which was replaced by a note of worry, "have a Russian hitter after them."

"Oh…..well shit…"
