“Az.”
I remove the last of my guns and look up at Felix, who’s standing by my
locker.
“Kruger wants to talk with you,” he says. “It’s urgent.”
I nod and remove the bulletproof vest, wincing as the pain from the hit I
took spreads through my chest. It was supposed to be a simple recon
mission, but we were ambushed by the security team twenty minutes in.
Belov caught a blade across his arm, but considering it was just the two of
us against fourteen guards, we did well. I close the locker and peer at the
blond man sitting on the bench by the wall. Sergei Belov is staring ahead
with vacant eyes, and if his chest wasn’t moving, I would think he’s dead.
Of all the guys who were dragged into this fucking program, he always
seemed like the most normal one. Until he started going nuts a few years
ago. He probably never hurt anyone before Kruger inducted him and shaped
him into a cold-blooded killer. Just as he did with the rest of the boys who
ended up in the Z.E.R.O. unit.
“You need to get Belov out,” I say.
“I know.” Felix sighs and squeezes the bridge of his nose. “I’m working
on it.”
I give the old man a once-over. The relationship between the operatives
and their handlers in our unit is supposed to be strictly businesslike.
Typically, handlers provide support from a base of operations—mostly data
collection and surveillance during the mission—but the relationship
between Felix and Sergei has always been different. I doubt anyone besides
me has ever noticed, the old man is too careful to never show favoritism,
but Felix cares about him, and not just as an asset. He looks after Sergei as
if he is his own kid, making sure Belov doesn’t snap and start killing people
left, right, and center whenever he gets into one of his fucked-up moods.
“Work harder.” I grab my jacket and leave the changing room.
Flickering lights cast long shadows on the bare concrete walls as I walk
down the hallway leading to Captain Kruger’s office. You’d expect the
headquarters of a secret military base—one that has been in operation for
over a decade now—to be a bit more polished, but instead, it’s just concrete
walls, electrical wires fixed to the walls with plastic hooks, and the
pervasive smell of mold. It’s better on the upper levels. These were used as
sleeping quarters for the new recruits when the program first came into
existence, but they haven’t been occupied in years.
