The Mystery of Pain

[Chai Ling]

"I know how it is. It is hard to make time for...relationships when there are so many more important things going on in the world."

["Zero" Americanski]

I think for a moment. What if he isn't Red Infinity? We do have other enemies...

[Rolf Wagner]

Wagner soon reaches the resturant and enters through the back door, retrieves his clothing, and changes out of the Infinity Guard uniform. He stuffs the fake uniform into the bag, leaves again, and throws the fake into a dumpster in the alley. In the stream of people moving about the city once more he heads out of the main stream and into a small park, avoiding the paths, trying to get out of sight and sound of bystanders.

[Harry Bergstrom]

"Oh yeah. Lord knows my mom wants me to settle down with a nice girl, but something tells me that ain't happenin' in her lifetime. I'm startin' to doubt it'll happen in my lifetime." he says with a laugh.

[Valodya Bassarov]

Chase after him, attack him, interogate him. Bassarov orders her. He is starting to have a strong feeling that maybe he is not Red Infinity.

[Chai Ling]

"I'm sure that you will find someone."I reply.

"I really don't make relationships a priority in my life, and right now I don't want to be strapped down by someone."

["Zero" Americanski]

As I am invisable I watch Rolf change and I follow him to the park. Quickly and silently I move behind him, become visable and put the muzzle of my gun to the back of his head. "Who are you and who are you with?"

[Harry Bergstrom]

"I couldn't agree more. It's not a priority in these desperate times." he says, getting up. "I'm gonna make some coffee, you want some coffee?"

[Chai Ling]

"Sure, I can have some coffee."

I prefer tea because it is lighter in flavor, but I will not be fussy.

[Harry Bergstrom]

Harry starts the coffee pot and puts in some ground coffee. He sits back down as the pot brews.

"So, everyone normally sleep in around here?" he asks, noticing that no one is up yet.

[Kith]

I check the missions that Kaschei posted. He wants someone to go after Helene. Since Helene will be well protected by Bassarov or Zero, I decide to take on this mission myself.

+++++

I put on my long black trenchcoat with the red infinity insignia on the back. I then teleport to Helsinki to begin this mission.


++++++

It will take time. I need to get her alone. I will wait until everyone in Bassarov's apartment is sleeping.

[Chai Ling]

"I'm not sure where everyone is. Some go outside for walks or to meditate or pray. Perhaps they all decided to skip out on breakfast. I could find them if you are bored."

[Rolf Wagner]

Wagner grunts and freezes. "Sneaky frau, ya. Amerikanisch, ya?" Wagner grunts, this time with distaint, not with suprise. "Rolf Wagner. Captian. #302-1165."

["Zero" Americanski]

"Who do you work for?" I demand. I prepare myself to shock him unto unconsiousness, but I would like an answer first.

[Samuel]

Samuel mock sighs. "History, yay." He said dully, and then smiled.
"I like to write down my thoughts, and sometimes I like to type ideas that come to me. But I'm more of a sci-fi, fantasy writer than non-fiction."
His smile became smaller.
"So, there's nothing that's going on then? Nothing big I should be helping out with or anything?" He thinks for a minute, and then bursts into a smile. "Well, I suppose that if there isn't anything huge happening, we should be grateful. After all, if there's nothing huge happening, it means things are fine."
He looks to the right, and tilts his head a little, as if remembering something, or thinking. Then he looks back at Bass. "Well, things being fine in the sence that we aren't going to be dead in a second. I mean, with Red Infinity, things are never really fine, are they?" He asked Bass.
He shook his head though. "I talk too much. My brohters always told me so." He grinned.
He tried to give the implication that today was a day he felt like smiling. Of course, he almost never really felt like smiling, but he was good at his job.
