3rd District, Ulaanbaatar

The three men drove down various dirt roads with minimal houses, Andrews occasionally talking about his recent events and parties and 'Brian you and your girlfriend should attend next time'.

They arrived at a rather large building with countless windows and a depressing grey exterior. The building appeared brand new as if it had been built 2 years ago, but to Eric's surprise the building was at least 15 years old. A number of cars were parked outside and Eric guessed it was probably Andrews' other henchmen and hackers. The three men exited the SUV and walked into the building.

The interior looked nothing like its sad exterior. Andrews had managed to design and construct an impressive floor and second level rafter, the floor of the building looked like a pit and had various computers and three islands like the ones they had in OPS, and the second level rafters had at least 10 touch screen monitors. The third level rafter was full of patrolling henchmen walking to and fro, looking out the windows for any incoming stranger. The computer and tech workers, roughly 20 of them combined, were typing furiously, some comparing notes, and others looking like they hadn't slept in days. One particular tech stood out like a sore thumb:

A woman. The only female Eric could see in the building actually. An average height, wavy haired brunette, plain looking with tanner skin than Kensi. She had chucks, dark jeans, and a white tee. She looked up to the three men and saw the intense brown eyes.

"Gentlemen," Andrews paused and smiled at the woman," and ladies. Let me introduce you to Brian Norbon. He will be in charge of all of you, intel, and main points of our mission. Any questions, concerns, or comments, you report to him. You will respect his orders and if I find out otherwise, you will be dealt with am I clear?"

Silent nods and a couple of mumbled yes before everyone returned to their previous tasks.

"Nicole." Andrews called to the brunette who quickly looked up. She walked up from the pit (Eric swears this looks like a helicarrier)

"Nicole, I want you to be Mr. Norbon's mentor."

"Mentor?" Eric realized just how young she looked, maybe 23…

"Yes, I know he is in charge but I need someone to help him navigate around here and deal with any new tech he may not be familiar with. And please," he looked disgusted," Don't let the guys put a rat in his desk like they do to all the new comers. It took weeks to find the last one."

Andrews said goodbye and left the two techs. "Hi." She spoke up." Nicole."

"Brian." Eric shook her outstretched hand," Please call me Brian."

The next two hours were spent walking the three main levels of the building, navigating through the labyrinth of hallways and being shown various rooms. During the tour, Eric and Nicole became very well aquatinted.

He learned that she was a massive X files and Avengers fan. She loved The Killers and ranted for a good five minutes on how she wishes they would release a new album. She liked hiking and climbing large trees. He learns she has a massive heart and a huge love for her parents, her Mexican roots, and her little brother.

Such a nice description for someone who is helping obtain Nuclear missels.

He then finds out she's only 19 years old.

"You're 19?" his eyes nearly pop out of his head.

"Yeah." She didn't understand his shock. "Is that a big deal?" They both climbed to the third level rafters and some henchmen greeted Nicole with smiles.

"Well yeah… I thought that…Well I didn't know Andrews had someone so young."

"Ah well, you see, I was caught doing a big no no when I was back out at UCLA. I decided to hack NASA…"

"That's got to be the craziest thing I've ever heard."

"Well it wasn't such a difficult task to do in my opinion. Walter O'Brian did it when he was what, seven? If a kid could do it, I was positive I could do it too. Well, long story short, I got caught and was threatened with jail time. Andrews got me out, God knows how, but he got me out. He offered me a job and my parents were happy. They think I'm helping him set up his company right now."

"Quite the story." He said. She shrugged her shoulders." Makes for a good conversation. The pair turned the corner of the building when a loud explosion was heard from outside the building.

"THE MILITARY IS HERE, I REPEAT THE MILITARY IS HERE!" A henchman shouted. Chaos erupted; henchmen were running to and fro, Andrews barking orders and the tech workers were running to hide.

"What do we do?!" Eric yelled over the commotion. The brunette didn't answer but instead dragged him down to the second level of the building and into a hallway. She found one of the iron storage closets and shoved him in. she followed after and shut the heavy metal door.

"What the hell is going on?" Eric gasped. Nicole was calming her breathing and rose her finger to her lips.

"The military. They've been helping the U.S find Andrews, travelling all over Mongolia looking for him. This is the second time they've been here… I don't know how Andrews hides everything outside…"

They stayed in the cramped closet for 15 minutes, at one point holding their breath when they heard the words and heavy footsteps of a soldier. An 'all clear' was eventually echoed through the building.

"Aye dios mio (oh my god)." She breathed. Nicole threw herself against the metal door and busted it open.

"Brian I'm sorry to say this, but you're going to have to get used to doing this..."

"The hiding?" he wondered.

"That and well…wondering if it's your last day."
