Chapter 31. Inside a thug's heart.

Ghent harbour, 16th February, near midnight. A SUV enters the now well known hangar and parks next to the containers. A large man steps out. He doesn't look pleased. He enters the container, closing the door behind him.

Teddy is hanging, hardly conscious, in his rack. "Top of the line gets beaten by some girls. I don't think I ever have met anyone as pathetic as you. It's because you know too much, or hadn't bothered to come by." The man doesn't hide his contempt.

"I had it all worked out. But you and your brother knew it better all the time. You didn't need to intervene on that free-lance snoop. When I warned she might get backup, your brother gets himself killed by a young chick. And you don't even succeed in killing two girls. At least the redhead is dead."

Donna stepped out of the small office that was build in the container. "I'm well alive mister Gruntree as you can see."

"How? Woohp informed me you were dead! Who saved you?" Gruntree spat out.

Sam and David came forward as well. "We made the antidote that saved the redhead."

Gruntree gulped, he had enough of the enhanced poison to destroy them all, but how to administrate it. His hand went to his pocket. He couldn't finish his move, because Alex gave his elbow a karate-chop that paralysed his arm. He cried out in pain.

Alex didn't take any notice. She pulled his hands behind his back and cuffed them.

Meanwhile Donna had freed Teddy from the rack and cuffed him as well. The man couldn't stand on his feet but Donna took no risks. The door of the container opened and police officers came to collect Ushkin and Gruntree. "They will be handed over to the American justice in due time. Thank you very much ladies, sir." The police officer addressed the spies while he had the prisoners taken away to the waiting police vans. The officer followed his men and left the Woohp agents.

Alex strolled over to Sam. "I took this from Gruntrees pocket Sam, I guess it's the latest version of their poison. He wanted to take Teddy's life." She handed Sam the syringe.

Brittney, Clover and Mandy walked into the container as well.

"That is so the end of this drug-gang run by the second in command at the DEA. He had all the means to stop the discovery, until Woohp sent Donna out. If Donna hadn't relayed her report to Woohp and Scotland Yard at the same time, he would have been able to close down the entire operation. And we would have been non the wiser." Clover explained.

"I'm sorry we didn't hack the encryption sooner. Now back to serious things." Clover continued. "When is the wedding? Where will it be? I have seen some cool wedding dresses in Paris. I have a driver who can get us there in less time then the TGV."

"Clover stop! I'm going to take the leave Terry promised me and Donna. Afterwards Donna and I will start planning the wedding. We'll certainly contact you, otherwise you'd probably hack into our computer and security system to get your information. But now I'm off for a well earned rest." Alex answered exasperated. "Sam, David do you come along?"

"No thanks Alex," Sam smiled, "David and me are going home. After a good nights rest we want to examine that poison."

They all went their own way.
