Chapter 20. The Devils heart

He was sitting in front of the bearded chunky man.

"Let me recall," the bearded man said, "You and your defunct brother were the top of your line of work?"

"We still are!" Teddy retorted.

"Hardly, you've lost 50 of your potential and while you were having fun in Belgium the Scottish operation has been closed down by Scotland Yard and the SAS."

"What? You said we would be informed in time to close everything down if things got out!" Teddy said in shock.

"I would have if you hadn't gone on your little fruitless trip." his superior barked.

Teddy got a very foul taste in his mouth.

"But I have good news for you to! You fly back to Belgium and take those girls out. The way the third one is taken care off. I've been informed she's dead. So the drug works to perfection. Don't waste time torturing and that's an order!" The man waved Teddy out.

In the secretary's office they informed him what had happened. While he was chasing Alex and Donna, a joint force of Scotland Yard, the SAS and an underground agency had cleared the factory. Security had been able to erase the hard disks of the computers.

Teddy smiled, at least that part of the emergency plan had worked.

But all personal and drugs had been captured by the English. The men were currently being interrogated by Scotland Yard. Several of the linked businesses were also closed down. Most of them by that underground agency.

The foul taste in his mouth came back.

By fourteen-hundred hours he was in the air flying back where he came from.

Meanwhile in the headquarters of Woohp the atmosphere was much more relaxed if not high spirited. Terry was talking to some of her top agents.

"Well done ladies and gentlemen, that was a fine show. A pity though they were able to erase their hard disks. I've sent them to our two top specialists who happen to be in France. They've promised to be as speedy as they can. Agent Brittney I want to personally congratulate for your outstanding action in Canada, where you and your team cleared a major drug laboratory and brought home valuable information on more linked factories. This information has been passed on to the DEA who will take the necessary steps. You've all done very well, thank you."

The agents slowly left Terry's office. Only Brittney stayed on.

"Miss Terry, when will Sam's funeral be held? I'd like to attend." Brittney asked.

Terry looked up at a tearful face. She had indeed leaked that Sam was dead, because she feared a security breech. Maybe? Terry smiled at Brittney.

"I'll do better agent Brittney. Your team is to go to the Queen Astrid Base to make the necessary preparations for her repatriation. You'll get your orders from Agent B.O.B. who is in charge of the local security."

"Security?" Brittney wondered.

"Yes, we have a tight security on the base." Terry informed blank faced.

Brittney's eyes widen as she understands. "Thank you very much miss Terry."

"It's no game agent, take the uppermost care!" Terry warned before Woohping Brittney on her mission.
