Over one week had passed since the two British agents had returned to London, arriving at Heathrow airport and travelling directly home from there. Anissa had seen out the remainder of her annual leave that she’d taken for the trip––three days––spending time with her husband and two children. She went to the shops with them, took the kids to the park, grabbed a coffee with one of the other mums from the school. Normal things. However, Anissa revelled in the basic routine of it all. She knew what to expect in each encounter. It was her closeted little world outside of work––a safe, somewhat predictable world. Nothing like what she’d left behind in St Petersburg. Those memories would forever live on.

Anissa had returned to the office before Alex––unofficially he was needing a little extra time, and had the accrued leave available for him to take. In reality, something they would keep between the two of them was that he needed extra time to recover. His wound was healing, but his limp was still pronounced. There would be no hiding that however much recovery time he got. It might be months before he would be walking freely again, many months before he could run the types of distances he allowed himself to do occasionally.

Before Alex showed up––the day before he was due back in fact––Anissa searched for any claimed lottery tickets across Europe from the previous week. Four wins were immediately noticeable because of their size. Portugal, the UK and two tickets in Spain, all exceeding the value of £25 million. Mega money. All claimed within a day or so of the cutoff. The UK lottery gave no details on their claimant––if winners chose to remain anonymous, nothing ever did get released. While the winners of the other three tickets had also kept their identity secret, nationalities were at least listed. Brits won the two tickets in Spain, and a Spaniard won the one in Portugal.

In itself, there was nothing overly unusual about this, much to her annoyance. Many Brits lived in Spain, especially the southern coastal towns. Many millions more took their holidays there. The chance two of these tourists might have been lucky enough to win was entirely possible. Nor was a Spaniard winning in Portugal. The two countries were neighbours.

But what if these four were the ones involved in the Games? What if she could, somehow, obtain details as to who these people were? Might they then be able to trace the murder of the janitor at the Fortress to one of the four people who had recently claimed a winning ticket? It was not an investigation she could start up––nor did she have the jurisdiction. The victim was a Russian, and the crime took place in St Petersburg––a nation she officially had never visited, a crime about which she couldn’t have known anything. That realisation annoyed her, but she jotted down some notes, regardless. Maybe Sasha would be able to pursue that avenue and with justification, too.
