Zoya slipped the burner phone into her pocket. Her backpack hung on her right shoulder, and her left hand was wrapped around the handle of her suitcase. She started walking towards the apartment building rolling the suitcase behind her. She was just outside of Manhattan. She needed to be close to The Black Widow, but not too close. The building was decent, but it didn't matter much. Zoya wouldn't be in New York for long, only to complete her mission then head back to Russia.

"Can I help you?" The receptionist at the front desk said.

Zoya stopped in her tracks. She looked over her shoulder to see a woman with a kind smile resting on her face. Zoya return the gesture.

"No, thank you." Zoya shook her head. She put on her best American accent. The one she had worked so hard on perfecting.

"You must be new to the building. I haven't seen you here before." The lady said.

"Yes, I am." Zoya nodded her head.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Ashley." The lady stood up from her chair behind the desk. "What's your name?"

"Uh, my name is Lily." Zoya gave her a tight lipped smile. "It was nice to meet you, but I have to go." Zoya said cutting Ashley off before she could start a conversation. She was not in the mood to talk with anyone. She just wanted to start her mission and find Natasha.

Luckily, the elevator didn't take long to open, and Zoya immediately stepped inside dragging her suitcase along. She pressed the button that had the number 12 on it making it light up. The doors closed and Zoya felt the machine lifting her up the building. When she made it to the 12th floor, the doors opened back up and Zoya walked out. She walked passed all of the other apartments until she arrived to apartment 12G. She grabbed the key out of her pocket, and unlocked the door. Zoya closed the door behind her and dropped her backpack down next to her suitcase. She slowly walked around the apartment analyzing the place. It was a decent apartment. She could tell someone had already been inside, and had set it up for her. Dreykov had probably had some of his men here before her.

"Валовой." Zoya mumbled when she walked into the bathroom. She flipped the light switch back off then moved to the next door. She pulled it open and saw it was a closet. She brought her hands up and pushed all the clothes to the side revealing a secret door. She pulled the door open and her eyes landed on all of her weapons. Guns, knife, widow bites, explosives. A small smile tugged at her lips before she shut the door, and moved the clothing back to where it had been before. Zoya's burner buzzed from in her pants pocket. She pulled it out to see a message from Dreykov.

"Your mission will start tomorrow. You know what you're doing. Get it done."
