building currently being rented out as an office block, the
other will be video calling them from his secluded beach-side condo
on the Maroochydore coast.” the bird’s eye view of the condo
showed, “The envelopes on your desks will contain the addresses and
targets. A small elite task-force has been assigned to you, as well
as this you have full access to weapons and vehicles.” The screen
went blank and the lights came back on. “Eliminate the targets in
any way you see fit, try and nab the data, failing in that, destroy
all evidence of your involvement. Other than those objectives the
mission is yours.” Anton looked directly at me and smiled lightly,
“I hope you are as good a strategist as we were led to believe.” I
was completely lost, weapons, angry Korean, Mongolia, Brisbane,
condo, what strategy could I have, what credentials did I have? I
hadn't been an operative of any sort since 2003, all I had now
was... I live in Brisbane, I knew the layout… that’s it. “I am.”
Why did I say that!? “Good, dismissed.” I felt like I was going to
be sick. We stood in oddly formed unison, starting toward the door
in a similar fashion. Gregorvich walked next to me and leaned in,
“You’re scared shit-less aren’t you?” I looked up at him in
surprise and slowly nodded to which he chuckled while clapping me
on the shoulder, “Do not worry friend, you’ll do fine. We’re all
here to help you, just because you’re the leader doesn’t mean we
can’t help, da ?” I looked up at him, the man was huge, at
least 6’8, his eyes a deep brown, his ridiculously clean and
managed teeth revealed as he smiled, no, beamed at me, even his
vampiric teeth were clean and undamaged. I smiled back weakly.
    We continued on into a short
hallway, its walls a bright white, “I take you to cafeteria, get
you something to eat?” I immediately felt unbearably hungry, I
laughed to myself for not knowing I needed food until I was told,
“That would be great.” I said with a much stronger smile than
before. We turned into a room with three circular tables, a tinted
window and a counter. The room immediately reminded me of the small
take away shops that I'd enjoyed over the years. “Take a seat, I’ll
get the food.” I nodded and walked over to the table closest to the
window while Gregorvich walked over to the counter, I sat down and
watched out the window. I allowed myself to go blank, just let
everything go, I let myself believe that all this was completely
reasonable and made complete sense, it was something that I'd
learned to do many years ago as a coping mechanism, getting turned
into a vampire and having to become a nomad with a passive
aggressive five hundred and something year old after spending the
better part of my formative years in splendour, you know, other
than the war, well... wars, was somewhat perspective altering.
Gregorvich walked over holding a folded newspaper while balancing a
container of gravy on top, sat across from me and ripped the top of
the newspaper to reveal a large pile of chips. “Dig in.” I slowly
ate the chips in front of me, “Dig in, go nuts, you must be hungry.
You’ve no one to disgust here.” He flashed me another of his huge
smiles. I was hesitant at first, then I doused the chips in the
gravy and began to shovel them in. “I am so hungry.” I said through
muffled mouthfuls, “You would be, I don't know how I'd go without
food or drink for four days.” I processed what he said while
continuing to shovel food, “You mean to tell me you didn't have me
on some sort of drip while I was out?” Gregorvich pulled a face as
if he were thinking about the question and began shaking his head,
“No, can’t say we did, sorry, we were kind of… we were exhausted,
sorry.”
    I think I would’ve had a panic
attack if I weren’t so intent on forcing as much food into my body
as possible, I could’ve died because these guys were tired. “So
what exactly is it that we do here?”
