35 The Russians Gambit: Part 11 (2/2)
”Negative, ECM doesn't report any signal coming out of this laptop except for regular internet,” Foxtrot said as he checked his smartphone.
Alpha put her minigun on a table and sat down on a couch. ”We have a big catch today huh?” She asked.
”Yeah, Russians' motive of operation is here in our hands,” Bravo commented as he tried to translate the name of each document. ”Hmm, Google translate is unreliable isn't it? I will translate the words that make sense, map, terrorist, base, and cache.”
”Better send this laptop to Herring. He knows better than us,” Lima said as she closed the laptop and carried it with her hands. They walked back to their respective car. But before that, Lima told the others to go without her, ”You guys go first. I will take care of the family.”
The whole Group B except for Lima went back to their car. Lima untied that family first with the bomb threat and her rifle. She wanted to take responsibility for breaking their house wall.
”Look, I want you to have this. Just take this as my responsibility to pay for that damage,” Lima gave them a kilogram of 24k gold. That's worth more than 50k dollars. She left them after she called her car to the location. She brought the EMP device with her. She entered the car and opened the window.
The son of that family approached the car and he wrote something, most likely to be the license plate. ”it's useless boy, I can change my license plate whenever I like,” Lima changed the license plate of her car multiple times and the boy was shocked as she pointed the end of her rifle at her.
She pressed the gas pedal and drove away from that neighborhood. After she drove far enough, she changed her loadout into casual clothing. She went for the nearest package delivery service and delivered it to Langley. She used a specific address so the package arrived at Herring's office doorstep.
”Who's the sender of this package?” The worker there asked.
”Mike Coxlong, thanks,” she paid for that service and went back for her car. She went back to her home on the other side of the town. She knew what exactly she could do right now. Wait on her couch while waiting for an update from Agent Herring. So, she contacted that agent.
Lima: ”Yo, you need to know that I send you a package there.”
Herring: ”It's 3 AM here Lima. What did you send?”
Lima: ”A nuclear device for Langley.”
Herring: ”That's not funny. You can put the US to Defcon 2 just from that threat alone.”
Lima: ”I'm just joking. Deuh. I send you an FSB's laptop. Have fun deciphering it.”
Herring: ”Nice. Good night Lima.”
He closed the call without giving any chance for Lima to say goodbye to him. Well, that was expected since nobody likes to be wakened up at 3 AM in the morning. Well, it was expected.
'Better do what I do best when I'm bored. Cook instant noodles while watching TV,' Lima said as she stood up from the couch. She went to the fridge then she got a message from Tango.
Tango: ”Lima. Delta has passed away.”
