Even Coach Andre came out to celebrate with us, as we had drinks and food lined up on the table at the restaurant. We ate to our heart's content until we were all too full to move. 

Some of them were too drunk, so we had to help them get back to their hotel rooms. Paige and I went back to ours and had a little bit of fun of our own. Paige went all out as she was extra drunk and extra h.o.r.n.y. 

She sucked me dry until she threw up, bringing the fun to a disturbing end. I washed her up and put her to bed. The next day Coach Andre told us that we would be heading out to Russia because we had a game the following week with the Russian military team. 

We had two more days to spend in China, so I linked up with An to get more information on power users. An took me to a spot that we had missed on our tour, it was quite a beautiful spot and the food there was delicious. 

After ordering our food, he was telling me about the other players with abilities. Except for Gin, An, and Aki, there was another player within the Russian team that An knew had abilities. He was known as Big Z and the most potent Center in the world. 

Big Z didn't play for the NBA because of his love for Russia; he stayed in Russia and played any game that represented Russia. Big Z's ability was his blocking and defensive presence in the post. 

Big Z could block a bird from flying if he wanted to. At 7'1, Big Z wasn't one to mess around within the post. An also gave me information about another guy, but he was still new in the league, so An didn't have too much information on him, all he knew was that the guy knew how to set plays. He was a pure point guard. 

After having lunch with An, we went our separate ways as I went back to my dorm to get packed up. The next day we boarded the plane for Russia. The team had practice at China's gym one last time before boarding the flight the next day. Paige was all cuddled up next to me in the plane as it was pretty chilly in there.

It seems like she was getting quite attached to me, I didn't mind it, but I needed my s.p.a.ce in the future. In about eight hours, we had finally reached Russia as we came out of the airport and were being escorted to our hotel. I always wanted to go to Russia, but not for this purpose. Just when Paige and I were going to get a room, my coach told me that we had to have separate rooms for some private reasons. 

I wondered what was up, but I didn't say anything as I separated from Paige. I was escorted to a different place as I asked where Coach Andre was taking me. We finally arrived at a spot which seemed shady as we entered the building even though it looked suspicious from the outside, but once we got inside, it was branded with high-tech equipment. 

I was shocked by this as I thought what a deceiving place. Coach Andre laughed and said, "apparently, your commandos have a mission for you while you're here." I shook my head in understanding as I entered a separate room from where we were. As soon as I entered, I noticed a big familiar face within it was my old trainer and captain, Captain Bob. 

I was surprised to see him as I had thought I would never have to see him again after our last mission. I saluted him, and he told me to relax as we greeted each other, and he told me it was good to see that I was well and alive. I told him nothing could take me out and asked him what this mission was all about.

That's when he informed me that it was an a.s.sa.s.sination mission for me, and the higher-ups wanted me to take out one guy, and it was going to be a solo mission. I preferred it that way as I didn't want to see any more deaths on my side. Captain Bob told me that I'd be a.s.sa.s.sinating a man called Cheslav Bohdan. 

He had been selling high-end drugs and kidnapping young children to sell on the black market. I don't know how that was any of our business since he was not on USA soils doing what he was doing, but I had to follow orders, and I was the guy to do that job as I was highly recommended. 

Cap gave me all the details of where Cheslav was staying. It was a heavily guarded fortress, but I didn't need to break in and just needed to camp out until I got a good shot of him. Captain Bob thanked me for my work before he had somebody escort me back to my team to get ready for the mission in 2 days. 

When I got back, my whole team was worried and asked me where I've been, but I could not disclose that information as I told them that I was just meeting an old friend. Everybody simply nodded, but Paige knew that there was more than that. When I got to my room, a weapon was waiting there for me. 

This was my old sniper with the basketball label on it. I kissed it and caressed it with much love as it had been through tough times with me and it had saved my life once on one of the missions and saved my team quite a bit, even though the last mission was crazy I still appreciate it for the times it had served me. 

I took a look at the information, but before I could dig into it any longer, I heard a knock on my door. I went to answer it cautiously, and it was Paige. She asked me if I was doing okay, and before I could answer her, she pushed the door open and forced herself in.
