92 The Contractor and Russians Stratagem: Part 16 (1/2)

Friday. 0235 Hours, GMT+9. Chekurovka Abandoned Air Base. An Abandoned Living Quarter. -30° Celsius.

'The Russian only left me with MRE and their VKBO uniform. Holy hell,' Lizeth took shelter in an abandoned hangar in that abandoned airbase. VKBO was a Russian cold-weather combat uniform.

Chekurovka airbase was located in the Northern region of the Russian Federation. It was used by the Soviet Union as their northern bomber base. Now, it was abandoned and never used. However, this airbase remained available for covert flights and covert operations.

'This MRE is for 24 hours, right? Could it be that they wanted me to wait for a day before that Marinka showed up?' Lizeth opened the MRE as she laid her back at the concrete wall.

The living quarter was the only structure that was still standing there. The rest of the building was either destroyed or doesn't provide decent protection from the elements. The living quarter was actually just an empty building without any furniture except for a single working toilet.

'My phone battery is running low,' Lizeth looked at her phone that only had a 30% charge left. She put her phone back in the pocket of her suit.

She opened that MRE since she was so hungry and hadn't eaten since the flight that took around 24 hours. She put the silver briefcase near her place where she was sitting and opened the cracker of the MRE.

That base was very far from any civilization. Besides, Lizeth wasn't fluent in Russian. She grabbed a cracker box from that MRE and started eating it. It was a little bit salty. She ate a pack for breakfast that morning. She suddenly had a phone call from Marinka.

Marinka: ”Hi Lynx.”

Lizeth: ”Morning Marinka. Where are you?”

Marinka: ”Working. As usual. How's Russia?”

Lizeth: ”I'm being put at the freezer here.”

Marinka: ”Hahaha. Don't worry, I will be there in 8 hours. The nuke's there yes?”

Lizeth: ”Yup. The nuke is here in my hand.”

Marinka: ”Great. I will be there in 12 Hours.”

Lizeth: ”Be quick about it ok. It's cold here.”

Marinka: ”Don't worry.”

Lizeth closed her phone. She looked at the portable stove that the MRE provided and started a fire in that indoor location. She heated up the water that she took from the sink in the toilet in that base.

While the water was boiling, she got out of the living quarters since she was bored waiting for a Russian agent in her jet to come there and pick up the nuke. She remembered something, she could call her car to that abandoned airbase.

'Why did I forget that? That's crucial for my phone survival,' she pressed the garage menu on the armory system and call her car there.

Her car appeared right in front of her and she was ecstatic since her car had a heater. Lizeth entered the car on the backseat after she turned her car engine.  It was comfier than the concrete floor of the abandoned airbase. She charged her phone in that car and she left the car since she needed to pick her cooked MRE.

The MRE was very simple. It was a dried cereal with milk. She only needed to pour some boiling water on that package of MRE. She closed the bag and waited until the cereal fluffed up.

Aline called her.

Aline: ”Yo what's up bruh?”

Lizeth: ”It's fucking cold in Russia and I haven't eaten since I arrived here. What do you want?”

Aline: ”Your girlfriend has woken up bruh.”

Lizeth: ”She survive?”

Aline: ”That's modern medicine for you. Yeah, she survived with a major injury on her head. She was in a temporary coma, but she is stable now.”

Lizeth: ”Can I hear her voice?”

Aline: ”Sure, I will get to her shortly.”

Footsteps could be heard from her phone. Lizeth was eager to hear Lynn's voice after all. She worried that Lynn would leave her without knowing the truth about her. Shortly after, there was a soft breath voice.

Lynn: ”Lizeth...”

Lizeth: ”Shh, it's ok. I just want to hear your breath. I'm glad to hear from you, Lynn.”

Lynn: ”Good... Sorry, but I'm too tired right now. Can you please talk to me later?”

Lizeth: ”Yeah. I will talk to you directly once I get back to that country. I'm in Russia at the moment.”

Lynn: ”So my sacrifice is not in vain. Great...”

Lynn's voice couldn't be heard again. She fell asleep again. Aline grabbed her phone again and she talked to Lizeth. Aline had walked a few meters away from Lynn since she would be asking something.

Aline: ”So... Are you going to pay the bounty now?”

Lizeth: ”Yup. I think I will.”

Aline: ”Good. I will prepare the serum once you get back from Russia.”
