CH685: Contract II
"For the second contract, they want us to help take out a known terrorist and arms dealer, Sherzod Eshonov." β Patterson.
"Russian? Arms dealer, I get. Since when did the Brits classify Russians as terrorists? Are we sure we're not being thrown into a political faceoff?" β Abdul-Lateef.
"That's stereotypical profiling, Lateef. You'll face criticisms from many activists. Just because he's Russian doesn't mean its acceptable he's an arms dealer. Similarly, just because he's Russian doesn't mean he can't be a terrorist. Back me up here, Patterson." β Korede.
Patterson looked at the two of them weirdly.
"I'm not even going to comment on that." He said with a straight face. "Besides, Eshonov isn't Russian. He's Uzbek."
Realisation dawned on the two Alphas.
