It felt great, Sauwa thought to herself as she leaned back in her chair enjoying the feeling of her new clothes. The T-shirt and blue jeans were a welcome change from the crusty attire she had been working in since being consigned to the Filipino safe house in Izmir. It was fortunate that the shopping area they were taken to hosted a series of small second-hand shops that offered a variety of cheaper clothing. Not being much of a shopper, she found a few articles that served her purpose and supplied her with enough fresh clothing to last several days. It was the softness of her clean, new socks massaging her feet that manage to almost forget where she was.

“Alright, this meeting can begin,” Tarkov stated, capturing everyone’s attention with his deep voice. He had a natural commanding presence about him. By now, everyone had come to accept his leadership. The Russian moved to the center of the group where all eyes focused on him. Dressed smartly now in a crisp pair of slacks and a short-sleeved blue collared shirt, he was very much the executive exuding control. “We’ve had time to digest the information from the meeting this morning and a chance to tour the city and get the lay of the land.

As far as the arms trafficker, your assessments from the earlier meeting were right, he’s a very well-connected man. The firm contracted to fill our intelligence gap here won’t go any further with him than what you’re reading now. Essentially we’re on our own to fill in any intelligence void when it relates to him.”

“Then what you’re saying is we’re working blind!” Gorzo growled speaking up for the first time. “Bad enough we come into this operation with no plan, now they want us to work with limited intelligence! How the hell do they expect us to do this?”
