THE BALLERINA SECRET LOVE
Part 66's. Negotiations 4
We saw the monitor, Nicholai was there, he looked quite calm. Maybe as an agent he has been trained how to deal with this calmly, precisely by being reactive it will be easy to suspect.
"He arrived 10 minutes ago, we wanted to see if he was reactive, all his communication tools had been taken, but he was not reactive, quite cooperative, he said, didn't make any trouble when we said someone would talk to him, he followed directions calmly. I don't think it's any good we slow down the process. You can go straight in." I don't know what kind of psychological game they're playing but I'm gonna take it.
I was the first to enter followed by Francoise. Nicholai was immediately shocked to see me but seeing Francoise behind me maybe he quickly guessed where all this was going.
"Hallo Nicholai,..." I sat in front of him.
"You here?" He doesn't care about Francoise he's focused on me.
"I'm here to help you."
"Believe me..." She smiled a little. "Well, why am I being held here? Why did you show up here with Francoise? What do you guys want? My question is quite straightforward, just answer it directly do not need to be pleasant." He seemed to know he had no chance to dodge anymore, so he immediately went straight to us.
"Actually I've been caught from the first time you told me to hack Mr. Francoise's phone, I also didn't know it would be discovered, you guaranteed it wasn't caught, you said, I thought so for two weeks after I was sent for interrogation." I started by being honest about what happened so everything was clear.
"Two weeks?" He repeated seeing him compile a timeline in his mind. "When you remove the adware. But how...." There's something he doesn't understand in that timeline. Francoise answered him immediately.
Nicholai looked at him but he did not respond.
"You guys want to arrest me? I don't think it is, if you want to catch me, why are you so hard here? What do you want to talk to me about?" Now he's at the heart of this negotiation. But first I need to tell you how it's positioned.
"Mr Francoise holds all the data of the people related to you, the Russian agents connected with Katarina and Shasha, there are all 9 people. Katarina and Shasha are secured now." I continued because he did not argue anything.
"Forwardly..." He responded to me coldly. His face was flat, I felt like I had lost a friend who had helped me. Nicholai, who now, like I don't know him anymore, has become a different person.
"I'm sorry, but if I go to jail, my mother has no hope. I wasn't..." He smiled and laughed at my apology.
"It was Sara, everyone had their own goals and interests. You used me and at the same time I used me. We don't have to make up. You're so naive." He cut me off sharply. I kept quiet, I didn't fit in with this negotiation, as he said I was too naive.
"Mr Civil, speak up, what do you want. You're the boss, aren't you, I think behind you is another boss, what do you want."
