Agent Ten Thirty-One
Years have passed since Leo passed away, but Otabek is still living as if it were yesterday. Having been in the field since then, Madam Director recalls him to headquarters for a new mission.
“Now what do you want?”
“I see time hasn’t healed any wounds, but I have a mission that might,” she started, “There’s a trafficking ring in South Africa that we need to infiltrate. I want to team you up with a liaison. One of ours has been loosely working with them, so we have an in. We just need someone on the ground with this agent.”
“I don’t have time nor the patience to play babysitter, Madam,” Otabek said.
“This agent has proven themselves capable in many situations, I just need a little more muscle for the job,” she said.
“Right. Where do I meet this agent?”
“I want you to come back to headquarters,” the director instructed, “We can go over details and you can come up with a plan of action with them.”
“With all due respect, I’m not leaving until you tell me who it is, Madam Director,” he argued.
“Yuri Plisetsky.”
