Lena Nightshade: Biting nails Dammit, who the fuck would use my body without asking? I feel like a rental car.
Did you check your private investigators online reports?
No, not yet. I'm afraid of what I might find. But I have a feeling it's connected to the spy novels I've been reading.
He had black hair, pale white skin, and red eyes. He wears a black North Face Jacket, a grey hoodie, black jeans, and all-black running shoes.
Slams her fist on the table Damn it, Diaz! I need answers now! This isn't just some random kidnapping; someone has a target on my back.
Well, how about we start with the basics then? When was the last time you had sex or were you drunk out of your mind?
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Diaz! You know I don't mix business with pleasure. Plus, I'm highly trained in self-control.
Ok, so what’s the first time you remember being approached for information?
Takes a deep breath Alright, alright. There was this guy who approached me at a café a few weeks ago.
leans forward, thinking hard He had dark hair, sharp features, and a cold, calculating gaze. And he smelled of cheap cologne.
starts looking through old security footage Do you remember anything else? Like if he had any distinguishing marks?
nods, trying to recall Yeah, now that I think about it... he had a tattoo on his wrist, like a code or something. It was odd.
Sees a match for the description in a file Here, take a look at this. Recognize him?
Grabs the file from Diaz's hand and opens it Son of a bitch... It's him. It's the same guy. What the hell is he after?
he had stolen one of the most valuable intel secrets from Russia when he was 19 You didn’t happen to learn his name by any chance did you?
narrowing her eyes Yes, actually. His name was... Vladislav Ivanov. Ring a bell, Diaz?
Ivanov was known as a ghost in the Russian mafia and spy world That’s a big-time player you messed with, Lena.
slams her hand on the table Well, fuck! Why didn't you tell me this before? We need to figure out what he wants with me!
First off, no one told me about this either. Second, we need to get you into protection immediately.
paces back and forth Protection? Are you kidding me, Diaz? I don't need protection. I can handle myself.
Looks up at Lena I’m sure you can, but it would be a shame if something happened to you while you’re still of use to them. Best case scenario, you stay alive and keep your freedom. Worst case scenario, they protect you from Vladislav, and you can finally rest knowing your family is safe.
stops pacing, visibly conflicted Fine, but I have one condition. I want 24/7 surveillance and a personal guard.
Agrees and begins working on the arrangements
narrows her eyes And I want the best damn guard money can buy. No amateurs or half-assed efforts.
sits down, crosses her arms Alright, let's do this. But if I find out that you're skimping on any detail, I swear I'll kick your ass.
