" Sector one take your position and don't pip until I give my dictation" Nikator spoke with authority through the Bluetooth. He was back in the base having some serious discussion with the sergeant about the fights in the front. Demanding obeisances from all working for him, one wrong move could have a serious effect on his effort. After some exploration in Afghanistan three weeks ago, he matched to his next destination which was the Amazon. Some unknown foreigners were hiding in the Forest and preparing for snipe in the country, but he wasn't gonna let that happen.
"Sir, we have some movement coming from the south side, straight ahead of us. Should we position now or await your command"agent Thomas asked through the Bluetooth.
Nikator gave command for the drone to be flew ahead but without alerting what was to surprise them. Through the monitor, he scanned carefully and smirked having known the perspective of the enemy. Contrary to the spread map situated on the large deck, this was the middle components of the forest and there secret base was to the northern far part of the Amazon. Watching carefully, has the drone blended with the green leaves, one of the foreigners with a cloth wrapped around the nose and mouth.... matched away to what he assumed is the secret base, to give info about there threats.
"Take position agent Thomas, sector three and four should remain....take sector one and two with you Thomas to the northern part. Am sending you a Gps but remember to be prudent"he gave his instructions and the formation was set in order. With the best team he ever worked with, he sat comfortably on the chair behind and watched has the show unfold. One mistake of there enemy was been too rigorous but he was far way ahead of them.
"Sir"agent Thomas answered with a big grin on his face. The general was someone he loved working for because he was the number one best and have never failed a mission. The US have seen the threats long before but they didn't know what there were up against, so the help of Mr Alexio was urgently needed.
"When I give command attack"he said with a few sip of black coffee presented to him by the workers back here with him in the base.
"I wonder what they are doing here in the jungle"the sergeant asked, clearly dumbfounded by there actions of coming to the Amazon.
"It's the best place to plan an attack if you asked me"nikator mumbled and stared at the open screen surrounding the far wall of the base and smirked when the leader he assumed walked out of the hidden base, camouflage in a tree.
"Agent Thomas, first order take down the leader"he stated with a wide grin.
"Roger".
"How do you know he's the leader?"the sergeant asked with a suspicious look.
"Been given the info about moving masses, he'd be in panic mode and step out to give immediate actions. To know quite well that there motions is illegal and there have been caught"simply stated and uttered.
Observing with close interest of the battle....clearly a little battle, that was about to take place. With a direct shot from the sniper to the head, the leader laid down on the dirt with blood gushing out from the temple, creating panic amongst them and giving way for the US army to attack. Quite less than thirty minutes, the base was surrounded....with few dead and few arrested for questioning.
"I think my work here is done"he grinned and stood up with his followers matching behind him.
The helicopter was awaiting his presence and with a given order to the sergeant to bring all back to the states for questioning. He wasn't really fun of mosquito and bugs, he wasn't really into the wild and he has a company that needs his attention. Been reluctant to go for this mission but he was needed for it and he couldn't turn his back on his people, that's what he was trained for.
Two stressful hours, he found himself in the suite that was booked down for him. He wasn't prepared to go back to his own Mansion yet, been the five star hotel was the closest to the company he went with it.
"Incoming call from Gaston"the room sounded from the constant vibrating phone.
"Sir, the Lincoln's are currently awaiting your present in the board room" he said and awaited his boss response.
"Give twenty"he stated and cut the call. Approaching the bathroom and entering the shower to wash down the sweat and smell from his body.
Wondering the sudden visit of the Lincoln's and hope they were here for a good purpose, he wasn't prepared to be angered right now. Coming all the way from melbourne....this should be good. He wasn't a fan of the Lincoln's {son&father}, he knew of there illegal deals the public wasn't aware of, so he won't take the chance of working with the likes of them. Finally done with the bath, he took a black suit from the closest, which was already arranged down for his arrival. Neatly placing the black tie in order, he button up the suit jacket and sprayed his favorite cologne on.
Awaiting their boss outside the suite, there went all alert when the door opened and he walked out. They followed behind him, through the elevator down to the first floor and straight to the exit door, were his driver patiently awaited his presence in front of the limo.
"Sir"he bowed in respect and he got a nod from him.
Entering the already opened door and settled inside the cozy Air con. Serving himself with a non-Alcholic white wine and sipped enjoying the scenery has the car passed by. He wasn't a big fan of Alcohol.....he despise the idea of drunkenness because he doesn't see the advantage of been waste away. Technically, he couldn't fathom the fact why people give away the idea it watch away problem, help them forget because has far has he knew and has seen, the problem they tried to forget will be reminded the following morning. It's so sickly and stupid.
Having settled the glass down, the limo parked at the given spot in the garage. Has he came down from the car, he walked ahead with his followers close behind but he couldn't help but look at the lady stepping out of the BMW car not far from the parked limo. She was exceptionally beautiful and curvy, just his taste.....a beauty he'd love to own and have his way with. But, not she...she seemed too innocent to poison with his wicked ways. From the hanging ID on her neck, he knew once she was an employee in his company and he smiled about it. He wasn't the type to fancy his workers but this one just broke the rules. He needs to get her if it's means to break his own rule.
Getting to the board room, he was greeted by the Lincoln's both father and son with equal resemblance. Great just what he needs to dampen his mood.
"Mr Alexio a great privilege to finally meet you" Mr Lincoln passed forth his hand for a hand shake and Alexio took it firmly.
"So am I. What can I do for you Mr Lincoln?"straight to the point and fast approach to leave the room. He wasn't in the mood for a meeting right now but what can he do.
Concluding the meeting with a five to seven days response for a close partnership. Nikator was right about his instinct about this meeting and now he gave them a few days for him to think about it and they two departed.
Moving side ways on the swiveling chair with his thoughts far away. The intercom boomed with Gaston voiced coming through it; "sir, an employee from the CFO wants to deliver some file for your signature".
He gave his reply and the knock sounded on the door, with a bored mood he replied with an husky tone.
With the door opening and closing, he heard the clicking of heels and knew once it's a female..... looking up at the person he was astonished to see the lady he was fantasizing not too long.
"Sir, sorry for disturbing you but the financial officer request for your signature"also her voice was angelic.
He took the file placed on the deck and went through it before signing the papers. Giving her back the file, she bowed a little and walked away to the door but he stopped her with his question.
"You've been working here for?"he eagerly asked.
She quickly turned and with her head slightly bowed to avoid his gaze she answered, "two years sir".
He nods and asked again.
"What's your name sweetheart?"he asked with his fingers crossed through one another.
"And look at me".
Immediately she looked up, he was greeted with a beautiful pair of ocean blue eyes and a shy face.
"Ciara" she replied politely.
He simply smirked and told her to leave. She was beautiful and have managed to capture his attention.....he wasn't into dating but he could at least create a new rule this time, considering he wasn't getting any younger and in his 30s.
"Ciara" he whispered.
