Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Femme Fatale

Early in the morning, Brian and Samantha were called into the office for an emergency meeting. Apparently, the Department of Homeland Security had received a tip about a Chinese intelligence officer making their way into the country.

"We have intel from a reliable source, that a Chinese spy has just landed in New York this morning." The FBI Director informed the team.

"Do we have any kind of lead as to where this spy might be?" Samantha asked.

"As a matter of fact, we do." He replied. "Our informant says that the spy will be at a restaurant in Chinatown this evening. So we will be sending agents there to stake it out and hopefully apprehend the agent themselves."

"How will we know who the spy is?" Brian asked.

"Our informant mentioned that they would be meeting with the owner of the restaurant. So just keep an eye on who talks to the owner. That's all, you're all dismissed."

The team was at the restaurant surveilling the room, waiting for there target to arrive.

"I wonder where Peter has been, I haven't been able to get a hold of him and I haven't seen him." Samantha said, concerned.

"What does it matter? He wouldn't be any help with this anyway." Brian said dismissively.

"Well I only thought of it because he lives right above the place that we're staking out right now." She replied. "I just hope he didn't get himself mixed up in all this.

After she mentioned that, Brian was also concerned about Peter getting mixed into the operation, but for different reasons. Samantha was concerned about Peter's safety, while Brian was more worried about him causing trouble for their operation.

Coincidentally, just as they were discussing him, Peter walked into the restaurant. And much to their chagrin, he headed straight towards the manager just like their informant said the spy would.

"You can't be serious! Peter is the spy!" Brian exclaimed, startling everyone else in the surveillance van.

"He can't be a spy. Come on after all we've been through together, there's no way you'd seriously suspect him right?" Samantha asked.

"I don't know, maybe all that stuff was just to gain our trust. I mean he did spend a lot of time in China. Maybe he got flipped by them while he was over there." Brian suggested.

"This is ridiculous!" Samantha said as she got up in a huff. "Listen, I'm going in to talk to him. I'm sure we can clear this whole thing up."

"Right that's a good idea." Brian said as she was leaving. "Alright while she's distracting him, let's get the building surrounded and get snipers on him." He said after she left.

When Samantha had entered the restaurant she noticed that Peter was sitting at a table in the center of the room, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked as she approached him.

"Eh, what are YOU doing here?" He returned her question then grabbed her arm as he stood from his seat. "You shouldn't be here right now."

"Oh no, you really are the spy." Samantha said with horror in her eyes.

"Huh? Spy? What are you talking about? No time to explain, you just need to leave." Peter said as he tried to shoo her away.

"W-What are you talking about?" She tried to get more information about of him , but he cut her off.

"Get down!" He said as he pushed her down and laid on top of her.

Just as she was flustered and wondering what he was doing, gunshots rang out and the two of them were under fire. Peter knocked over a table and was using it for cover.

"That's what I was afraid of. You morons led her right to me." Peter said looking more annoyed than anything while under a rain of gunfire.

"Her? Who? What's going on?" Samantha tried to ask.

"Does it look like we have time to chit chat about all that stuff we've got to go!" Peter said as he stood up and slung Samantha on his shoulder. As he ran out, the gunshots seemed to stop firing in his direction.

"What's going on in there? We've confirmed shots fired, but we somehow lost sight of Peter and Sam. Somebody get me a situation report ASAP! Forget it! I'm going in myself!" Brian said as he grabbed a rifle and ran into the building.

He quickly was face to face with Peter and he saw Samantha was over his shoulder.

"Hey drop her and stop right there!" Brian shouted as he pointed his gun at Peter.
