The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Below Black Water (2)

Joanna blinks at the ceiling. The red-eye edges are calm.

“I can't feel it. Now, even though more than 10 million people are dying, it feels like something else in the world. ”

Her long vomiting sighs leave deep moisture. A little self-loathing with grief. I should be in more pain than this. Why are you so bold? Multiple emotions are holding the agent back. The human side touched the heart of winter.

“We're weak. ”

Quiet, touchy, what winter says.

“I want to mourn everything that needs to be mourned, but I want to be responsible for all the misery in the world……. We're too small and too weak for that. I always feel my pain the most, and I have to do my best to live every day, and I just try to save the people closest to me. You don't even have the capacity to grieve. ”

After shaking your head, winter confirms the man.

“Weakness is not a sin. It would be a mistake not to do what you can. So, Ann, I think we have to do our best to reach out. ”

because that's the limit, and that's more than a dream. The boy's words were spoken with emotions other than words. An FBI agent who clenches his fists and squeezes his forehead shut. I shouldn't have done this. The monologue leaking through the dry lips was a whip against himself.

“You're ugly. ”

A word of rest and solidarity.

“Yes, we have to do what we can right now. Human experimentation is also a human experiment, but it's also a big problem that there are private organizations within the intelligence agencies that are doing readership. ”

The agent who cut off the turbulence quickly released the prepared plan.

“There's going to be a slight glitch in the power grid starting at 15: 00. It will be restored in a few seconds, of course, but it's enough to initialize the switching cycle of the closed circuit. You know, there are a lot more closed-circuit cameras than the number of monitors in the Situation Room. If you move at different intervals of the screen, you'll be able to get to the bottom level without being noticed. ”

She showed me her notebook. The directions on the line appear at the end of alternating pages with the job description and the description. There was a detailed description of the location of the surveillance camera along with the expected route and the time interval reflected on the screen. The Reading Method absorbed this information quickly.

Winter marveled.

“You're all set. This should be enough. ”

Although the closed-circuit camera has the ability to track motion, i.e., automatically track movement, it has not been utilized during normal daytime commuting times. The setting will also be the same now before withdrawal. In many ways, no one will care about that in the bush.

Joanna's complexion darkens.

“I'm sorry to drag you into such a dangerous business, winter. But I had no one else to turn to. ”

“I'm sorry, I'm rather glad. It can help. ”

“…… Thank you. ”

A faint smile touched the FBI agent's mouth.

“Why don't you bring in the strike team? ”

Winter offered.

“White Skulls are a good group of people who know their faces, though. Ann may not feel good about Captain Fowler, but she's not a bad person. Excellent as a soldier. I'm sure they'll cooperate when they hear about human experiments, not government orders. There is the possibility to convince the other strikers.... ”

Marine stubbornness is a foundation of trust. “Even if you don't...... it'll be a lot easier if one Marine Search Force (Force Rickon) helps." It's okay to take over the Situation Room by surprise. First of all, can we request this much from the supervisor? ”

Joanna looks sorry.

“That's a good point, but I've already reviewed it. But the incineration process is also challenging. It's an emergency self-destruct device that operates independently of other systems. I looked for a way to block it personally, but there was no income. This means that Team Leader Chadwick can dismantle evidence at any time. ”

“You think a lot of people have the opposite effect? ”

“Yes. I'd like to avoid getting caught. Most importantly, there is no guarantee that there will be no support from Team Leader Chadwick in the strike team. Such private organizations often expand to personal contact and inclusion. Unfortunately, there are many people who are mentally unstable. ”

I suffer here because of the Chinese. As the operation grew longer, there were dark crews like this. People who have been stuck in rotten seas for a long time because they don't have replacement workers.

‘Easily shaken, easily persuaded. Special Forces. It's worth it. ’

The more concerns you have about the FBI, the more reasonable you are. Winter accepted.

“I see. I had no idea. ”

“No, of course not. ”

In the end, it was best to start with the original.

“Let me borrow your notebook. ”

Winter took Joanna's notebook, handed over some of her notes, and familiarized herself with her needs.

Then there was time. Winter illuminated its face on purpose. If you stay away too long, it will be easy to be suspicious. Talking to people everywhere was a shallow trick in case someone found winter.

“Ah, winter lieutenant? I think I saw it from the dining room. ”

The same answer is repeated in a variety of voices.

The amount of time needed to photograph and return from the control area is expected to be no later than an hour.

When I returned, I avoided looking. I left for 10 minutes, and winter leaned against the wall of the cabin where the junk piled up. Knock, knock. A small clash of boots. The side-by-side Joanna is playing a light prank. She gazes down at her toes with an indifferent eye. Resected breathing would have been a habit of suppressing tension.

Jijik.

The lights went out momentarily. It was a 15: 00 warning. Under a roaring, re-illuminating fluorescent light, winter and FBI agents nod at each other.

Open the door and leave. Naturally, there was no popularity in the corridor. Five seconds until the frontal closed circuit connects to the Situation Room. The two of them ran with power to dig into the camera's blind spot. Crouch directly under the camera to check the clock. Tick, tick. The time reflected on the monitor again is 5 seconds.

Two who run again to overcome the remaining half of the hallway. You quickly open the pressure door and hide yourself in the cabin. Time spent here, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second.

Bang! Break through the door. I didn't have to worry about the sound because I was unmanned. The sound of echoes in narrow spaces. A little rougher breathing. This is an agent's side rather than winter's. Given the situation, it was inevitable that your heart rate and breathing would increase compared to the amount of exercise.

I couldn't use the lift. It was also a problem with the closed circuit, but the movement of the elevator appeared on a separate screen. If the elevator operates in an area where manpower withdrawal is complete, it will definitely be considered suspicious.

Kang Kang blazes all the way down the fire escape. Especially when it's quiet around here.

There was a break in the landing in the middle. I had to conserve my strength. There are still a lot of breakthroughs left.

I couldn't let my guard down while I was resting. As the camera narrows its corners, winter and agents point their guns in the opposite direction with their backs turned.

“So far, I don't think I've been spotted. ”

Voices were tremors that spread throughout the back. I could feel it breathing as well.

Winter reminds me of my sister who used to sing. I don't think that's the case. A boy with a smile I don't even know. Oh, I miss you, too. and.

“Let's move again. ”

I didn't know when and what I was going to find you two up there. The more time you save, the better.

From the upper level to the lower level control area, the number of stops to come down the long stairs is only once. It was thanks to the pre-calculated time it took for the camera's turn to return.

‘This is 7 seconds, past here...... once again 7 seconds. ’

From time to time, I looked at my notebook and watch throughout the run. All movements must be cut off in seconds or less. Avoiding the closed circuit felt like a domino. If the camera ran in the order in which it was switched, the remaining time until exposure continued to extend.

Then you hear a queek, ominous sliding sound.

“Ugh!"

Maybe it's leaking somewhere. The floor is wet and the agent slips. Noise rolling. Like April Pacific, she was in the rear of the winter, and there was a speed gap, so she couldn't catch it in time. Winter, sliding with inertia, looked at the camera across the hall.

I'm going backwards. 4, 3, 2 seconds until I see this place in the Situation Room….

You open the side cabin door and pull the agent away with an overpowering force. It's already a little late. With no control over the force, the agent slides straight up and crashes his head against the metal cabinet.

The harshly closed winter quickly examines Joanna's condition.

“Anne! Are you okay? ”

She covers her head and crouches for a long time. There was blood on the edge of the cabinet.

After a while, Joanna barely raises her torso, swallowing her groans, but a long stream of blood flows down her face. I was nervous, too.

“Let me see. ”

Winter examines the wound. I wiped off the blood with a handkerchief, and it was torn above my forehead. My weight is swelling. I think I'm going to get discolored soon.

‘I don't think my bones are broken.... Is it a concussion? "

Joanna, whose eyes narrow, shakes her hands.

“I'm fine. I have normal vision and no dizziness. ”

Just in case. Winter lights up the lantern and glares into her eyes. The First Aid was a guide. Hypersensitivity to light is also one of the signs of concussion.

The agent pulls Lantern down.

“It's really okay. I'm just sick. What happened to the camera side? ”

“It's a little late. It's probably been on the screen for about a second. ”

“Fuck.”

The blasphemy speech did not end once. Winter said quietly.

“Calm down. It's one of those screens, right? It's only been a second. Did he see that? Situation room should be busy preparing to evacuate as well. Maybe he's relieved. ”

“…… I can only hope so. ”

Worrying about bad possibilities is pointless. There's nothing we can do about it now.

But I had to avoid being ambushed from behind. Move your position to another cabin and wait for the two of you to catch up. Joanna also needed a break. The aftermath of the injury may be delayed. Be careful when you get a head injury.

Five minutes later, 10 minutes later. The time to endure silence continues.

You must be here already if anyone wants to come. At the moment you want to think about it, the agent lowers his gun. She wipes away the blood and sweat.

“Hah. Lucky……. Thank you, God. ”

Movement has resumed. The restricted area has been close ever since. After starting to move again, only two additional cameras were passed, and a circular pressure door appeared that was different from what had been passed so far. Lock is a way to insert a card or enter a password.

After the camera's turn to illuminate the door, Joanna pulls the ID card out of her arms and plugs it into the lock. The door was opened with an electronic tone. Winter asked.

“Where did you get that? ”

“I borrowed it for a while. ”

The owner doesn't know, but winter smiles lightly at what she adds. You quickly enter the door and manually press the latch, just in case.

“It won't work if I know. He boarded the first submarine and left. The underwater phone won't reach here.... I don't think I'll care if I lose my key card in the yard after the operation. I borrowed a bunch of people's cards from the restricted area, and they won the first place. ”

Inside the door is another door. On the side, there was a place that was presumed to be a security room. Closed circuit screens were placed on the table, and there were several microphones and unused consoles. Seeing the empty Weapon Holder, it looks like the enemy has been waiting for us.

‘You couldn't have connected the surveillance system in the secret area to the situation room upstairs. It's frequently visited by people who don't know the facts of human experimentation. ’

Winter looks up toward the security room.

“I think we'd better take a look inside. Maybe there's still a live infection. ”

Joanna agrees. It's unlikely, but the containment agent was released after the manpower was evacuated.
