The engine started the smoke was pumping out the car started moving a woman spoke from the back of the car.
"We just arrived in Turkey why can't we just take a rest first," She doesn't feel like coming because she's too lazy.
Ash looked at the rearview mirror and replied in a serious tone, "Rein we are not sent here for vacation..." Ash tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his eyes were on the road, he thought to himself "Not a vacation but I hope it is, this is such a beautiful place."
Ash continued to speak, "We need to confirm if Dr. Faust is really staying here in Istanbul, his a huge threat to humanity his creation can claim millions if not billions of innocent lives we need to neutralize him as fast as we can."
Rein looking around the window spots the first hotel on Kennedy Avenue, "Hey, this is the first hotel the intelligence said that Dr. Faust would be should we check it out first?"
"Sure, let's check it out first," Ash drove the car to the nearby parking lot, "Are you ready Rein this is your first mission in FREE BIRD we're going on foot the second hotel that Dr. Faust could be is only 3km away we can walk it."
Rein replied with a smug look, "Eh... Why are you acting like this is not your first mission too? And why do we have to walk when we have a car you can park it inside the hotel?"
Ash grabs Rein's head with both hands, "Do you have a brain? We need to be vigilant who knows maybe they already know that we're following their tail all around that is why we need to disguise ourselves," Ash opened the trunk of the car, "Pick some clothes here and guns even though we have powers but we can't use it carelessly."
Rein raised an eyebrow and complained a lot, "You expect me to wear those clothes you have a bad fashion taste that style is for grannies.
Ash frustrated covered his face with his hand and sighed trying to stay calm, "Just listen to me no more complaints, or else I will make sure you fail in the performance assessment you'll have a bad rating as an agent this is your first mission it will greatly affect your career."
Rein wore the clothes and picked some guns, and she chose a pistol, "Are you ready... Ash..." Rein was too stunned to speak when she saw Ash's body, "Why do you have so many scars?"
Ash replied softly, "Oh these scars are a badge of honour."
Rein Curios keeps asking Ash questions, "You're like the same age as me?! What have you gone through to get all of that? You must've been through a lot of struggles?"
Ash froze for a moment Rein last words triggered a memory from the past. Ash was knocked back to his senses and was about to say something but never said it.
Rein broke the silence, "Hey, Ash let's go now!" Ash nodded.
As they were walking towards their destination Ash was mesmerized by the city this was his first time seeing buildings that weren't destroyed, and he smelled something good, "Hey, Rein what is that man selling it smells so good does it taste great?"
Rein was shocked this was the first time he saw Ash act as a kid, "Oh, his selling one of the most iconic foods in Turkey a kebab, do you want one?"
Ash scratches his temple, "Uh... I forgot my wallet maybe I'll buy it in another day."
Rein took her wallet, "Here buy me too I want chicken I'll just wait here," Rein sat at the bench.
Ash's eyes filled with joy.
Ash went to the food stall to buy kebabs, "Hey mister two chicken kebabs please, oh... wait I'm in Turkey I bet he doesn't speak English," Ash threw a weird hand sign to the vendor.
The vendor is confused, "What is it that you want boss?"
Ash was so embarrassed his face turned red like a tomato, "Uh... my bad I thought you couldn't understand English hehe."
The vendor laughs, "You look like a tomato hahaha, other tourists are shocked too when I speak straight English just like you I speak 5 different languages, what is your order boss?"
Ash a bit embarrassed, "Two chicken kebab mister."
The vendor replied with a bright smile, "No problem boss two chicken kebabs coming right up," The vendor showed Ash some tricks while he was preparing the kebab Ash was in awe, "Here boss chicken kebab is very healthy and delicious want it spicy?" Ash nodded.
Ash went back to Rein sitting at the bench giving Ash a weird awkward smile and whispered, "Hey, have you noticed that there is someone watching us right now from afar?"
Ash smirked and teased Rein, "Oh I thought you wouldn't notice it, hahaha, just play it cool and make it look like we're just bonding together."
Rein crossed her arms and looked away, "Hmpf, let's just to the hotel."
* * *
They arrive at the entrance of the hotel they see a familiar symbol Rein spoke, "Look at that man's coat that symbol isn't that Dr. Faust?"
"The golden head of a goat? It really is his symbol that guy must be one of his men, but where is he going? quick let's follow him."
Ash and Rein quickly followed the man, but the hotel staff stopped them and asked where they were going."
"Sir where are you going this place is off-limits staff only."
Ash smiled and scratched the back of his head, "Oh sorry I thought I saw someone I knew and I followed him here,"
Ash left and had a gut feeling that there was something inside of that room.
While they were walking back to the parking lot Ash spoke his eyes burning with pure determination, "We're going to raid that place tonight."
Rein froze responded, "I don't want to be a criminal."
Ash responded with passion, "No we're not going to be a criminal, we are going to be a hero."
Rein sighed, "I really can't read this guy... So, what is your plan?"
Ash smiled and said, "We're going to break into the hotel and gather information fast if Dr. Faust is there; we are going to neutralize him by all means."
A girl with red hair has a jolly voice meddles in their conversation, "Sounds like a neath plan to me! hehe."
Ash reacted so fast pulled his gun and pointed it at the girl with red hair, "Who are you?! Why are you listening to our conversion?!"
Rein tense, "Calm down Ash! Put your got down she's an agent too like us."
Ash lowered his gun, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were the one watching us from afar and decided to interact with us."
A girl with red hair replied, "Yes, I was the one stalking you guys, you seem decent enough you know that you are being watched but cannot locate who was the one stalking."
Rein a bit annoyed, "Shut up Blaze, what are you doing here anyway?"
Blaze replied, "The captain has sent me here to assist you guys, he said that he wanted to send more backup, but we lacked manpower I was the only one available."
A notification rang on Ash's cell phone; he looked at it and was surprised.
Rein curious asked, "Hey what was that? Why is your face reacting like that?"
Ash was happy when he read the notification, "The intelligence has confirmed that Dr. Faust is really inside the hotel,"
Ash laughed inside his mind and muttered, "Finally I can get revenge."
Rein partially heard Ash, "Huh? Did you say something, Ash?"
"Nothing."
Blaze whispered to Rein, "His a bit odd, doesn't he?"
Ash looks at Blaze top to bottom, "Like you're the one to judge... Anyway, let's prepare for tonight's raid."
Blaze is excited you can feel her vigorous aura, "I can't wait this is my first mission we will call this operation the raid of Istanbul!"
Ash covers Blaze's mouth, "Why are you saying it out loud you idiot."
Rein said sarcastically, "Talk about a seasoned agent - bwahahaha."
Rein and Blaze argued Ash left to get the car and went back to pick up Rein and Blaze, "What?! I left for like 30 minutes and they were still arguing when I came back these guys are hopeless why did the captain send me off with these guys sigh... Hey, you two if you don't stop arguing, I will leave you two here!!!"
They already got into the vehicle and that's where they started arguing again, Ash got irritated and parked the car in a nearby parking lot close to the hotel they checked in.
Ash got out of the car and looked at them from the outside of the car and shrugged, "I should wait inside the hotel they'll come eventually I guess."
