Rage

The black SUV was rushing through the evening traffic.Vladimir was cursing, his forehead tinged with sweat.The cars were driving wildly through the streets.Someone had tipped them off that they saw a woman looking like Rebecca and a companion going in the direction of  the embassy.Vladimir had panicked, he decided not to call Azov till the news was confirmed. He asked all the cars in this entourage to head towards the embassy.He could not imagine that the Americans would think of doing anything without sovereign protection.He just wanted to get to them before they got into the safety of the embassy.He did not know how much this was to cost him

He asked the vehicles to disperse one block before the embassy.Hiding his weapon in his coat, he swiftly got out of the car after it screeched to a halt on the gravel.He was looking at the face of every woman in the place.
It wasn't helping, Rebecca was nowhere to be found.He asked all his teams to speed up the search.

After a good hour of searching, he finally gave up. They had checked every nook and corner in the area, visited every hotel loo and looked inside every garbage dump.She was nowhere to be found.

Escape

The taxi wheeled into the departure area, Danny spotted Rebecca at the Aeroflot counter and was happy to see that she was safe.He got out of the taxi and called out to her.Rebecca seemed relieved to see him.She grabbed his arm and both of them went into the terminal.Danny was dying to ask her all the questions he had, but he had to wait.They found a quiet corner of the waiting area and sat down.He got up to get coffee for her, but she stopped him, 'we need to stick together', he sat back down.

"What are you up to Rebecca? Can we pull this off?We are normal people , not action heroes, to go against Azov is foolish.Even if this comes out, there is a good chance that the company will get away with this and we will be left to die in of their many chemical dumps.I am talking sense, all this seems easy, but its not, Azov has links, we are just researchers."

"Danny, I am doing, this, with or without you, but I can't leave you to die here in Russia, if you do not want to come with me and join me, I need you to go somewhere safe...."

"I didn't mean that," Danny retorted.
"Well, we should just catch the flight, its been a long and hard day, lets talk when we are a little level headed."

Danny agreed.

They boarded the flight, they were going to Bologna, Italy.Danny loved Italy, he always wanted to go, but never thought that he would have to go there to hide for his life.Rebecca looked tired, she looked scared but determined to go ahead.Their flight was boarding, they decided to check in.They had got good seats, they could see the city lights beneath, blurring farther and farther away.
In the next seat, Rebecca was thinking hard , thinking of a plan to uncover those ugly b*****ds and teach them a lesson.Things had become more personal than she liked and she had to exact her revenge.
