a cryptic message sends Lilly around the world on a mission the CIA didn't give her
The doorbelll rang causing Lilly to wake up and answer the door. She wearily stepped to the door and opened it, the light was bright adn blinding. Lilly blinked a few times then looked to see who was at the door. it was a guy she had never seen before. He held a package with flowers, on the flowers was a card. At first Lilly couldn't read it at all, but when she could fnally see properly she could tell that it was acryptic message. She thanked the man then shoved him out the door quickly. She ran into a secure room and took out the card. She had never seen a code like this before, she wasn't even sure that it was a known code. The CIA were pretty crafty though and this coud be something she hadn't realised before.

Pulling a red rose from the bunch of the fowers she pulled off the stem and revealed a knife. Nodding and whispering to herself he knew that the CIA were asking er to go to Moscow. Well atleast that is what the crypted message said. She was told to wait till she arrived at her motel where she sould be briefe. Lilly knew this could be dangerous but it was her life, her job, she had to do it. Getting on the plaane LIlly was releaved that security hadn't picked up on her weapons. Of course some where hidden well like the knife in the fake rose adn the knock out powder in her watch, but there were obvious ones such as her gun that were a bit more obvious.

Her motel was clean and small Lilly decided to sleep off her jet lag for a mjinute and then she would try to find the person to brief her. It wasn't long before Lilly found herself walking into the restaraunt searching for any one sitting by themselves with a glass of Vvodka and a tophat. This was the person who would brief her.

One hour later Lilly wwas on her mission, she did find it unusual that she had never met the man before but she had to trust him, the CIA are like that. Walking down and around the back of the shop Lilly tried to make herself hidden and quiet. The door she needed was right in front of her but there were guards in the way. Lilly considered using the knock out gas but knew she might need it later so she decided to use the old hand to hand coombat. Smashing the first guard across the ehead and kicking him where it hurtsw she was able to bring him to her mercy. Disarming him adn tying him up was all too easy for Lilly that she almost wanted to just fight the next guard, but he was alot bigger and LIlly didn't have the time. She coat-hangered him with the machine gun she had taken off the last guard and then shot him i the arm. Once she had ted up three more guards she proceeded into the room carefully. There was no one there which made Lilly think this was a trick, the valuable source tthe amn in the restaraunt talked about should have neen more heavily guarded.

Sudddenly the lights went out and a projector was let down, images flashed showing Lilly's father. She tried to turn away but the image filled the romm. She blinked back the tears trying to forget the way she had last seen him. Laying on the ground face covered in blood, skin cold and blue. He had been murdered by a local gang. In fact at that moment it hit her the murderer lived in Russia, he was here to kill her now. Why had she fallen for it. But then something happpened that shook Lilly's world. A member form the CIA appeared. Lilly could tell that this was real there were things that normally even the most skilled people will miss unless they know the people. The meber of her team came up behind her father and ten. BANG. He killed her father. Shot him in the face, leaving him there for her to find later.

"Now you know the truth." the voice came from behind her. Lilly didn''t need to look, she knew who it was,.
"Why were you vidoeing my dad?"
the man gestured towareds another man.
"It wasn't me, it was one of my agents, all he wanted was to see if i could recruit him."
Paper were pushed in front of Lilly. The were sign up papers . Lilly knew what to do she was meant to sign these. She picked them up and walked out.
"the s will be on your desk tomorrow."
and with that Lilly walked out a double agent.
