89 The Contractor and Russians Stratagem: Part 13 (1/2)
[Wednesday. 1500 Hours. School Library.]
”Lizeth, do you know where is Lynn?” Clara asked her. Lizeth was cleaning the library as usual. After that incident, the library had become very quiet since that accident.
Lizeth was reading the report that Kilo sent to her on her phone. It was about the injury that Lynn had at that accident.
[Injury Report From Kilo: Lima's Case]
For: Lynx
Lima sustained a major injury on her head, her hand, and her leg. Her leg was amputated and the rebar that was attached to her head was removed during the surgery. It was a miracle that she stayed alive.
Suspected Cause Of Injury: Fragments of Brick and Walls, 30x165mm autocannon fragments.
[End of Kilo's Report]
Lizeth immediately called Aline. She called her since she was worried that she would do something stupid to her.
Aline: ”Yes?”
Lizeth: ”If you do the same thing to her, I will kill you!”
Aline: ”Ok. I won't do it though. Lynn's identity isn't compromised, unlike you.”
Lizeth hung up on the phone and she put her phone back to her coat pocket. Lizeth's next job was the grand final of her misery as a woman. She had to capture a nuke suitcase that was in the hand of a terrorist.
Bella, the newspaper club leader whose leg was stabbed by Lynn, came to the library. She was in a hurry with a camera on her hands.
”What?” Clara asked Bella who was running.
”See this!” Bella gave the camera to Clara. Clara saw the picture while Lizeth was confused as Bella's sudden entrance to the library was unexplainable.
Lizeth stopped Bella before she made a mess in that library since she was too panicked. ”What's going on? Chill out,” Lizeth slapped Clara out of her panic.
Lizeth managed to calm her down, but Clara approached her with a particular picture on the camera. It was a picture of Iris tied to a chair in a dark warehouse.
She was kidnapped by an unknown person, but from the way that she was kidnapped, she might be captured by a professional force. It couldn't be FSB or CIA since Iris had no business with both of them.
Considering that the newspaper club was hunting them down for the accident in which Lizeth fought with Lynn involved the usage of firearms, they could be pulling evidence that the library club shot their clubroom.
”Are you trying to pull a prank on us?” Lizeth asked as she threatened Bella with her fist.
Bella recoiled from Lizeth's wrath. Lizeth wouldn't give up just from that innocent face of hers. A bully could have many different expression and fake fear was one of them. Lizeth needed to apply excessive pressure to Bella.
”Look,” she extended her baton and put it at Bella's neck, ”I can break your neck in half and no one will tell the tale. You'd better be honest this time,” Lizeth said to her.
Clara intervened, ”Nope. She's not lying,” Clara showed her another picture in which Iris was being pulled to a warehouse located somewhere in an unknown place.
”Where the heck did you get this picture?” Lizeth asked.
Bella refused to answer. Either she didn't want to tell her or she really didn't know. Well, there wasn't any point to keep her there. She let her leave the library.
Clara inspected that camera and she looked at multiple pictures that the camera took. Lizeth didn't care. She cared more about the grand finale of her mission. Finding the nuke and return it to the Russian's hand.
”Clara. I have to leave first, see you soon,” Lizeth left the library.

[Wednesday. 1645 Hours. A parking lot in the capital]
One by one, bullets were put inside the magazine. She did that as she waited for Clara in that parking lot. She loaded a new type of 7.62x51mm ammunition at that magazine. It was the High-Explosive ammunition. Its performance was similar to an ordinary AP rounds, but with an added explosion. The tip of that ammunition was colored purple.
