Mission Day 14

Somewhere Over Finland

My theory had been correct. The combined DIA reverse radar and VIS subsurface images confirmed there was indeed an underground facility in place near St. Petersburg. This lab was smaller than the one on Rapa, and not nearly as deep. We had no way of telling what, if anything, Viktor or Gregorie was manufacturing inside. Whatever it was, it wasn’t something in support of a noble cause. We’d already uncovered one plant on Rapa Nui. My gut told me we’d find another. And, given my impressions of Gregorie, I was certain whatever they were concocting there was destined to lead to a larger planned genocide than we’d originally thought.

With a near ninety-five percent success ratio when I’d listened to my gut, T agreed to pivot our attention to the Russian facility.

The DIA had stationed a couple operatives on surveillance detail as soon as the survey had begun, not willing to take any chances. After a stealthy search, they’d located the way in. There was an abandoned asylum nearby, and that’s where they found the door. They’d staked out the building for the past two days. Their reports detailed all quiet—no workers reporting for duty, no comings or going for shift changes. No heavy equipment in the area.

Essentially, the facility didn’t seem operational. I prayed that was the case, but I knew we had to check. I was supposed to be on medical leave a while longer, so detouring to Russia wouldn’t interfere with our quest to stop Viktor.

After less than a week in Great Bentley, T had dispatched the VIS doctor to the Tamsyn estate to examine me before I could be released for duty. For once in her life, I do believe T would have broken her own rule and cleared me over the doctor’s objections. If he’d had any…which he didn’t. My strength had returned sufficiently, and he declared me fit to return to work, but admonished me to continue with the serum injections. His eyes had gone impassive when he mentioned my arm would remain permanently marred from Viktor’s bullet. My days of sleeveless dresses might be over, but I couldn’t summon the will to care.

The scar would be visual motivation to capture Viktor and put him down in the most torturous way imaginable. It was that, or I would die trying. Did that sound blood-thirsty? Probably, but I couldn’t hide from my desire for revenge. He repeatedly hurt humans, and I couldn’t allow him to continue.

I’d been on the phone with T almost hourly since we’d ferreted out the location of Koszlov’s backup lab. She was desperate to get me back on Koszlov’s trail. Her attempts at micromanaging me were a trifle annoying. No matter what she said, I’d be running this op my way from here on out. I didn’t tell her that. She was on a need-to-know basis as of now, and she didn’t need to know I was planning a side trip off the books.

Whenever the thought of the final death for my coming infraction niggled my consciousness, I slammed the door on it.
