"Chief Lyra, we have some unfortunate news.", Mr.Brint said nervously. I was confused, too puzzled to even put it through words, I didn't reply. "This operation is called off, President's orders. We will send a chopper as soon as the storm has passed.", he said trying to avoid any eye contact. "But Sir, I need atleast some information why.", I said worriedly. "I'm afraid that's confidential, Chief." Mrs. Venia said boldly. I always hated the guts of her, she was the last person you would want to trust in this organisation. She had long faux hair tied up into a fancy plump on her head.Her fake lashes could be seen from a mile away and her distinct expensive perfume could be detected by all of us without a doubt because it was so strong. She clearly got in because of nepotism. She was the wife of the previous CEO of S.W.A.T operations. She always makes my life difficult, giving me the toughest of cases and missions.
"Yes Chief, It has been rendered confidential but I wouldn't be coming back soon if I were you. Ah!That reminds me, I have a dinner reservation at 'Snow Bound Eye' today." , Mr. Brint said with a slight smirk in his tone. I smirked but to kept a straight face. Mr. Brint dropped a hint, he always did that without the others' knowledge, he taught us,when we were agents this method for radio transmission classes, his own modified language. "But Ma'am we have a hunch here, this is our only chance to nab and catch the Russians red handed and unveal their activities to the Russian government!", Henry pleaded in a compromising tone. "General Flinch, this is no time to argue with orders." Mrs. Venia said with her eyes wide open and stern. 'Hold up, Henry was the General?!', I exclaimed in my mind. "We will be awaiting the chopper, what's the estimated time of extraction?", I asked calmly. " A week, enjoy the free vacation." Mrs Venia said spitefully. The call disconnected. "General Henry Flich huh? Should have introduced yourself when we first met." I smirked. "Yes I'm the General, so now we are practically in the same power in terms of position except that I'm from the army and you are from S.W.A.T . But I need to ask you, how you're this calm about the current situation, didn't you work hard to do this?", He said in a seemingly concerned pitch. "We still have a week to go. We can start infiltration from The 'Snow Bound Eye' , I wonder what and where that is. We first got to crack the code." I said as I picked up my bag. Having realized the conversation between Mr.Brint and me now, Henry smiled. "Wow , what a brilliant telepathic code." He giggled. "Ok get Byron cracking on what 'Snow Bound Eye' may mean. I've got to visit an old friend." I smirked and left the chamber.
