Berlin,Germany

Lex Pov's:

I grabbed the door handle and jumped out rolling onto the street. As I withdrew my Glock 21 scanning the horizon for the shooter, I couldn't see where the shot had fired from and not knowing that  the assailant was probably gone by now. Taking cover behind the Range Rover as my team leaped out too. Along with them were two new two Alpha recurits being trained by us. Alexandria Lamont, who was a CIA deep cover CIA agent and Colt Barret an ex Navy seal sniper.

I dashed down the street with my pistol clutched in my grip. Feeling the throbbing veins in my neck. My eyes narrowed with tighten lips. Moving quickly and quietly, I burst through the front entrance, scanning the inside interior looking for any signs of any assailants or shooters. There was none from what I could see.

I stride up the staircase, my eyes darting left and right looking for any sudden movement. I pointed and nodded at Nicky. She moved quickly as she darted up with her 22.Ruger clutch in her grip, sprinting into the Digby office flat out and stepped back.

Nicky gasped as she froze in place, freezing as her eyes  grew wide eyes at the dead body laying on the ground. Rage flowed through her like lava as she felt the anger rose in her like a tide. Shaking her head with tighten lips, her eyes narrowed. Her expression harden as her cheeks turned crimson

I sauntered into the office seeing Nicky's flushed face, her clenched jaw knowing that she was about to cross over into the abyss of the blacknes that we had that made us lethal as an agent in our line of work.

"Nicky, calm down, trust me you don't want to cross over into the abyss. It can be dangerous. We have to be better than the foreign agents or terrorists that we hunt. You  were the one   who told me when I wanted to get revenge for David's death remember not to do it. We all know the risk that we take when we recruit an asset and What could happen," I stated meeting Nicky's eyes.

"Lex, Digby, was my asset. I knew the first time I recruited him he was afraid for his life and nervous. Whoever this was or had him killed is going to pay, I can promise you that," Nicky said swiftly, slipping her Ruger into her shoulder holster.

She glanced sideways at the window, seeing the round come through, her eyes narrowed onto a piece of paper on the desk. Nicky snatched up the paper. She frooze when she read the two names on it.

"Operation Thunderstorm is active MK Ultra"What the hell was MK Ultra, She thought

I moved quickly over to the window, seeing the shattered glass. Now I knew for sure we were looking for an assassin. A very skillful and experinced one that would be who could shoot her target from an extreme distance. What caught me off guard and was strange where the CIA security agents here. And how did the assassin know about the front?

"Nicky, what you can tell me about Digby and what he was doing here doing that maybe you got killed."

Nicky met my eyes with a tight-lipped smile. " Lex, Digby, was puting mircofilms into gold fillings for deep cover CIA agents and assets. He also had some intel on ThunderStorm for me. He left this message on this piece of paper."

She handed me the piece of the paper as I snatched up it  to read it . Recongnizing the name Thunderstorm, I knew that this had to be about Nicky's parents, and from the redacted highly classified file Ruyan had shown her in Berlin before. Could this be a trap for her? I wonder. if it was it didn't feel like one.

A roar of tires came speeding, screeching up to the nondescript building.  The doors swung open on the black van as Russian mercenaries with MP7 submacine guns emerged wearing black balaclavas covered their faces. They moved swiftly and quickly through the entrance of the building scanning the inside looking for their target.

Looking out the window, I noticed a suspiciously looking black van and knew that they were Wanger men Russia's private military that only handled black ops missions that were toodelicate for the SVR or the GRU to handle.

Something was  not right here how  did they know we were going to be here, I thought.

I glanced over at Nicky, my eyes narrowed darting all over the place. "  We got to move fast; we have company Wagner men."

Nicky swiftly stuck the piece of paper in her pocket and with her suppressed Ruger gripping it both hands. "  How the hell did they know we were going to be here Lex? The SVR or the GRU didn't even know about this front because of a black ops one."

All of a sudden gunfire erupted from down below the staircase. I dashed  down the staircase, squeezing the trigger as a bullet out in the air taking out one of the Wagner men. This was going be an to all out war bloodbath I knew.

I saw Alexandra silhouette come darting behind one of the mercenaries as she drew her high-power browning that was chambered with sixteen rounds of 77-grain ammo. She fired a shot into the back mercenary head, taking him out with a double tap shot.

Crunching hit my ears from behind, accelerating the already rampant pounding of my heart. Rage pulsed through my veins as my eyes narrowed, as a dark hood was tossed over my head. Two of the mercenaries dragged me out through the entrance towards the black van.

"Do you have any idea who you're dealing with," I snarled.

The door on the black van swung open as the mercenaries tossed me in before they climbed. I still had my Glock 21 clutched in my grip knowing I could take him out with one shot. But I wanted to find out and know who ordered these mercenaries to snatch me. One thing for sure I knew that it was unlikely that the White Nights were behind it or Ruyan.

Nicky sprinted down the staircase with Ruger clutched in her grip, her eyes narrowed as fury became her, a muscle in her jaw started to twitch. With her 22. Suppressed Ruger Amphibian trained on the mercenary fingering the trigger she fired a bullet into him.

Dashing out the entrance she dodgzed the suppressed shots from the mercenaries' sniper rifles taking cover behind one of the cars. She pivoted firing two shots at three of the mercenaries darting toward her.

The van sped out of the parking lot through the congested busy traffic on its way to the abandoned airfield outside the city. My instincts and guts were telling me that maybe this had to do with ThunderStorm? If that was true there was more to our op then we knew.

Summer stalked in with her Glock gripped in her clutch seeing the dead three mercenaries as the van sped away. Her expression hardened, slamming her fist down on one of the vehicles. " Shit! I knew Yuri wasn't lying when he told me that he made a deal with the Russians to capture Lex."

"Wait a minute, how would Yuri know about Thunderstorm and Digby Summer?"

"Nicky, I don't know but he was a broker who dealt with all kinds of intel and hiring mercenaries and assassins. He did have a lot of clients who were high up in echelons of power from all over the world."

Colt strides out, his eyes were  narrowed, his fury sprang to life  as raw anger shot through him. His mouth twitched,  as he snarled his lips back in a snarl. " We have to go after Lex and retrieve him.  I'm a goddamn seal we leave no man behind no matter what."

Orleana sauntered over , seeing the expression on Colt's face as she met his eyes. "  Calm down Colt we're not going to leave him behind; trust me we'll get him back don't worry."

The van drove through the security gates of an old abandoned airfield.  There was a private hangar that was owned by their front company that Wagner Group had used from time to time. I heard the gate open and some voices echoing outside.

They pulled out to the hangar and parked outside. The mercenary gripped the door handle  as he stepped  and then strides over to the back door of the van and open it up .The mercenary nodded and gestured for me  to move as the mercenary behind me had his MP7 submachine trained on me.

After a while I was led onto a military aircraf. The lead Wagner men shoved me in a seat as the mercenary snactched my gun of my before he handcupped me to the railing.  There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to be transported to Russia to be interrogated by probably some GRU agent or even one of these Wanger men.

The two Wagner men sat down across from as the ramp the door  closed, The Russian aircraft roared out of the hangar lifting into the sky
