Anya and Nikolai were silent and the Russian woman showed no emotion whatsoever as Greta spoke. It was clear to her that this kid was brought in to assure Anya wouldn't back out of the plan and stay married to Philip. Did Greta think so poorly of her? When had she not done what had been asked of her? She had always completed her missions.
"Now if you accept the work," the older woman started again. "You'll be giving both Nikolai and Anya support during the extraction. The mission profile is being finalized and we will discussed as you as decided whether you want to play with or not." Greta concluded and Nikolai let out an amused laugh. Greta sure knew how to offer a guy a job.
Alexandros retook his seat in front of the desk as he watched the other two agents do the same. "I'm glad to hear that you have two of the best in this business, Ms. Walden. It's always good to know that I will be working with competent people. I'd hate to have to cover my ass as well as both of theirs" he stated, the smart ass within him coming out. He leaned back in the chair, making himself more than comfortable as he listened to Greta's offer. It was the standard contract, one he usually passed up. For some reason though, this job was pulling him in and he wasn't sure that he could actually pass it by.
"You can count me in, Ms. Walden." he replied firmly. "You know I'm not usually one to pass up a job."
"You can count me in, Ms. Walden." he replied firmly. "You know I'm not usually one to pass up a job."
"Good," Greta said calmly, nodding her head at the young man.
Anya in the other hand rolled her eyes. Spending time with the man, any time would be worse than torture. "Why is he needed?" the assassin asked flatly looking from Alex to Greta. Anya knew exactly why he was there. He was Greta's puppy, brought in to fo what it pleased her but Anya asked anything just to upset the older woman.
Alex rolled his eyes at Anya's question. As if the answer wasn't that obvious? He was there to pull her out and it didn't matter how he did it as long as the job was accomplished. And at that moment, he didn't care what Anya or Nikolai thought of him. His face remained a complete blank as he watched the conversation progress. He would continue to allow Anya to complain about his presence for now.
Nikolai winced a little and spoke before Greta could. "Support darling," the older operative explained even though he saw no used for me man himself. "Arrangements needed to be made while you are busy being the loving wife," Nikolai winked at Anya and she shot him a serious glare.
"Exactly," Greta agreed with Nikolai but she had her own motives for wanting Alex involved. Motives she wouldn't be sharing with the others right now. "Nikolai will give you the information you need and your assignments," she continued looking from Anya to Alex. "It has to be clean extraction where no questions are made after Any's death as Mrs. Girard."
"Because someone has to make sure that everything is taken care of to perfection." he stated rather bluntly and matter of factly. Now he wasn't exactly looking forward to spending too much time with the female assassin, but he'd do his duty, get paid, and get out.
Anya let out an amused laugh which surprised even Nikolai. "You will make sure of perfection?" She continued chuckling and then looked at Greta. "I still think he is useless," Anya spoke in Russian and it was Greta's time to throw her a serious glare.
"Consider the job handled then, Ms. Walden. That is, as long as your agent can get her head out of her ass and learn to cooperate." Alex replied casually. The job seemed simple enough. Though if Anya continued to try to bait him, he was going to come back just as strong, if not harder at her.
Anya laughed again at the man. If she didn't know he was an stupid kid and an idiot she had kill him but it would be a waste of time and he sure wasn't worth it of her talents.
He smirked as he heard her say he was useless in Russian, figuring she didn't think that he understood her. He was very tempted to throw back his own comment, but after catching a glimpse of the glare that Greta threw to Anya for her own comment, Alex thought better of it. He sat back in his chair and crossed his arms casually over his chest with that same satisfied smirk firmly in place as he watched Anya getting the visual reprimand.
"It's not your decision Anya," Greta affirmed. "Now if you two excuse me. I'd like to have a word with Mr. Bradley alone."
"I'll wait for you outside Mr. Bradley," Nikolai cut in with one of his best smiles as he rose to his feet. Anya didn't bother saying anything. She just stood up and walked out.
"I apologize for Anya," Greta addressed Alex again, looking like she actually meant it what she was saying when she didn't. Feelings, emotions weren't something Greta had for operatives or anyone else for that matter. "She doesn't play well with others," the blonde woman continued.
Alex gave Nikolai a firm nod as he watched the two exit the office. He returned his attention to Greta. "No apologies needed, Ms. Walden. Either she'll learn to work with me, or she will just have to get over it." he stated evenly. "This job isn't about emotions... too bad she hasn't seemed to pick up on it."
"Don't underestimate Anya, Mr. Bradley," Greta warned him. "She is part of this organization for almost ten years. She has never failed to complete a mission and emotions never got in the way," the blonde woman went on. "She is upset now and it has nothing to do with you. It's about me getting in the way. She is just marking her territory. She is one of the best operatives we have."
With that out of the way Greta continued. "Now, Nikolai is in charge of this operation and I expect both of you to follow his instructions. Anya may want to kill you right now just for the sake of bothering me," Greta added any emotion. "But she will do her part and she will abide to Nikolai's commands. You must do the same." the older woman paused for a moment and stood up to lean agains the desk. "The reason I want you in this operation is to make sure the outcome will be the expect one," Greta began. "Like I said before the plan is simple but if something goes wrong. If Mr. Girard and his family are tipped off or get suspicious of anything you have permission to eliminate Philip Girard. Anya knows this is the backup plan therefore I doubt she'll resist the plan in any way. Just remember not to try to handle Anya. Nikolai does that. She is too valuable to this organization and the last thing I needed is an angry assassin in my hands."
"I do like a challenge, Ms. Walden. And she seems like the kind to be such." Alex stated. He nodded his head as Greta explained how long Anya had been in the organization. "I will stay out of her way then for now."
"I believe that I most assuredly can follow Mr. Vitya's instructions. As for the outcome of this operation, you will get what you want. I will make sure of that myself. And I will have no problems going through with the contingency plan if needed." Alex replied. Handling Anya? From the looks of it, no one could handle the woman. He certainly wasn't going to be one to try.
Alex stood up and offered his hand to Greta. "It'll be a pleasure to make sure this operation goes off without a hitch, Ms. Walden."
"Thank you Mr. Bradley," Greta smiled warmly as she shook hands with the young man. "NIkolai will fill you in on the rest of the details," she added before Alex walked out. The older woman then looked around the room and let out a heavy sigh. So far so good. NO blood in the carpet and she was sure Anya was armed.
