26 The Russians Gambit: Part 2 (1/2)
Lima was walking around her house. He made afternoon tea and she sat down to watch TV. She looked at the afternoon news and there was news about a gang shootout in a certain house. Then, she got a call from Tango.
Tango: ”Afternoon, Lima. Have you watched the news?”
Lima: ”Yes I have. What can I do for you Tango?”
Tango: ”Delta and Sierra were mortally injured from that shootout. I guess I need to let you know.”
Lima: ”Ok. Who's the perpetrator?”
Tango: ”I don't know to be honest, but Alpha said it could be another paramilitary unit. They haven't woken up yet.”
Lima: ”I see. I've met with paramilitary personnel back in Chechnya in 2017. They aren't exactly the kind of people you want to be messing with.”
Tango: ”Be careful ok, we haven't identified who are they and what they want yet.”
Lima: ”You too Tango. Be careful beautiful.”
She closed the phone and put it at the nearby table. She put her SCAR-H near her couch. She didn't want to be caught off guard. He watched the news and the reporter reported that there were no bodies to be found. 'Delta isn't exactly a weak guy, and so does Sierra. This isn't the work of street thugs or fixers. This must be the work of an organized military unit.'

[End of Kilo's Report]
She read that report. Lima couldn't decide whether it was an undercover western agent shooting at him using eastern block weaponry or it was really the Russians' work. But according to the amount of assumption that she had, she could say that it was clearly a work of an organized paramilitary organization. The questions were who and why?
Lima stood up and finished her tea. She went for the garage. She looked at her Yamaha R6 and her Mercedes-Benz S-class, 'Some people thought me as daddy's little bitch, but Nah. This is the thing that I get as a contractor,' she admired her work.
She opened the garage with the remote on her phone and entered the car with some money for fuel in his pocket. She was planning to ask for Intel on her phone in hope that the person that attacked Delta wouldn't track her down. If so, she could escape with her armored car.
She got out of the garage and established a phone call with X-ray. He was an Intel gatherer among the contractors. He might know a thing or two about the attack.
She held the steering wheel firmly as she accepted the call on the car infotainment system. The call was received through the armory system. It made the call untraceable and very safe, to be honest, but she didn't want to take any risk.
X-ray: ”Hi Lima, why are you calling me on Saturday?”
Lima: ”Have you heard on the shootout? Our boys were the casualty, do you have any Intel on that?”
X-ray: ”Wait a minute. I may find something on the dark web or somewhere else.”
She drove outside of the residential area and headed to the toll road for a high-speed drive to the other side of the province. She would drive back and forth to avoid detection from the aggressors that suddenly appeared in the city.
