The Cat and The Mouse

Declan, enters the room where Mr. X and Miss. Y are waiting. Both Angar and his men stop before the door .

“Major. Reily. Nice to meet you in person” Mr. X greets him . “Close the door behind you”. Declan complies.

“The famous chief drone operator, spy, purple heart holder and many more., But eventually dishonorably discharged” Mr.X continues

Declan gets nervous as he is aware that Angar is listening,

Meanwhile Angar was taking Angie to some other room.

Back to Angar’s office, Mr. X goes on , but Declan interfears, “You surely know a lot about me. Now stop blabbering and tell me what you want?”

Mr.X sarcastically smiles.

“Don’t worry , he does not know.” . Declan is pretty sure Mr. X is referring to Angar.

“I don’t care. Just tell me what you need from me”

Angar on the other end of the mic listening to this conversation <Closeup to his ears and eyes>. In the security room, the bodyguards monitoring all that is going on. The spy’s of Angar and NRD watching Angar as well as Mr. X at the same time. NRD agents have the information of the know the incident at Kandahar and how Declan is linked to it. They get nervous when Mr.X keeps bringing up that incident . Angi’s life was hanging by a thread

“You are in a hurry to help” Mr. X sarcastically smiles at Declan

“No. I just don’t want to be in your vicinity for a long time”

Mr. X smiles more sarcastically.

“ Let me enjoy few moments of your agony. You are in fear for your Daughter’s fate", “her fate is in the hands of a man who will most certainly would want to return your favors”

Declan is dumb fold and Angry. He wants this conversation to end quickly. He realizes the more he tries, it is getting worse. He keeps his silence and gives Mr.X the satisfaction of being shutdown by him.

Angar takes Angie to a closed room , no windows or access from inside. He puts Angie in. She is hesitant to get in. Angar had to push her inside. <Closeup to his ears indicating he is listening. Also a frame from Angie’s angle with door getting closed.>

Mr. X sees Declan is silent . Declan is angry and fearful for his daughter.

“Good. Now we understand each other that I have the leverage, You will do what I say” He nods ‘go ahead’ at Miss. Y

The NRD listening to this all via the mic inside Angar’s Chair’s armrest <Graphical zoom from outside of the chair, through the plastic of the arm , up to the mic>

Miss X keeps her bag on the table and opens it.

She gets out a small box, a small laptop, a joystick and a small Antenna. She opens up the small box, It is a small drone, opens up the wings of the drone. She puts her inside the bag again and pulls a receiver. Spreads all on Angar’s desk

“I hope you have not forgotten what it is”

Declan looks at her (close up) . She tries to understand his expression , fails and moves on with her conversation

“Okay” “I assume you do” She stands there

“Is that it? What you want me to do with it” Declan wonders to Miss.Y

“Assemble”

Declan looks through the packs and starts assembling the drone. As he extends the small drone’s arms he notices the body is slim, made out of strong fiber plastic, most likely supported by aluminum rods inside, “This would be undetectable in the radar”

Mr.X and Miss. Y look at each other and exchange a mild smile

“If you are curious you could have asked me.” Miss Y says to Declan. “It is undetectable from sky or from ground”

“Am I helping you to kill Americans”

“No. You are helping us with something else. No American’s die, at least not in this country….Unless you stopped cooperating”

Outside Angar is listening to their conversation. Everyone is interested to know what the plan is and how deep the infiltration goes.

Few blocks away the FBI/NRD are listening to their conversations.

“Did you find out anything?” An agent coming into the room from restroom asks the other agents listening to the discussion in Angar’s room

“They are very careful”

“We need to know if there any fatal plan is about to be executed. we need some reaction time”

“ I am not sure if Declan will be shared any information. These folks are smart and more compartmentalized than CIA. So far they promised no one will die. But I don't trust them”

This statement made the other agent seriously. The first agent continues.

“Should we breach them now, we can take them into custody and make the talk”

The other agent picks up the phone

“What are you going to do with it.? “ Declan tries to dig further

“It is for us to know, You to help with”

Declan picks up the Antena, and rotates it to observe. “This Antena seems powerful. Built in battery”.

Both Mr.X and Miss.Y are silent and observing Declan without mush emotions.

“You have very advanced tech, why do you need me for?” Declan truly amazes

Mr.X and Miss. Y look at each other. <transition to the next scene>
