"Well, it's about time I leave"
The janitor just looked down at his mop as the security guard talked, the brim of his hat just barely hiding his face as he kept mopping the lobby floor. "Don't miss a spot mister..." the sercurity guard glanced at the nametag "..Dimitri. Be sure to clear out by 4 and I expect a good job when I get here tomorrow morning." The Security Guard took off his hat and left for the door, "And be sure to lock up." The janitor just stood there silent still mopping away as the security guard stepped out and mumbled "Damn stupid foreigners".
The janitor took the supply kart and went to security room. He looked at the flickering screen's that show the whole area.
"Good, he's gone"
After looking over it, the janitor shut down the security cameras and left the room. He went to the janitors closet and put the supply kart up. He then grabbed a steel, thick briefcase and left up a dark corridor that led to the top of the skyscraper
It was dark and dimly lighted on the roof and a blanket of fog had set in over the city. He walked up to the edge and took his hat off to reveal his black, shoulder-length hair. He then unlatched the briefcase to pull out a laptop. He immediatly turned it on and waited for a signal.
The screen flashed "CONNECTION ESTABLISHED" and the janitor put on the microphone as he awaited a voice. Then suddenly, a crackle was heard and then the voices started to come in clear.
"Dimitri? God it took you forever, what the hell hapenned?" said the voice
"That security guard is a nightmare, acts like some omnipresent supervisor."
"Sucks to be you, lets go over your equipment."
Dimitri grabbed the briefcase and pulled out what appeared to be a tripod and a high-tech-looking telescope.
"What? the Agency sent me here for stargazing?" said Dimitri in a surprised manner.
"Hardly, this is a prototype we're testing. This telescope allows the user to zero in on a target and take a DNA analysis from about 3 miles away. Then it comes to us and we anaylze it and put it on file."
Dimitri looked at it with a bit of confusion.
"Why would the Agency trust me with expensive equipment?" said Dimitri
"Your guess is as good as mine, but I think it's a nicer change from the usual pistol and rifle."
"Yeah," said Dimitri "I think your right. Standard covert procedure?"
"You got it," said the voice "No casualties, no explosions, no anything that makes a good Schwarzenegger movie. Just get the analysis of the subjects and leave. We're looking at about 5 subjects of this so called "Teen Titans" organization from what we have uncovered."
"Alright," said Dimitri "I got this thing set up but I still can't see in this damn fog."
"Turn on the thermals, you should see better that way." said the voice. "Did you find the building?"
Looking at the big "T" shaped building, Dimitri replied sarcasticly "How could I miss it?"
"Alright, now there should be 5 heat signature's"
"I found one, what should I do?" said Dimitri, still puzzled how the telescope works.
"There should be a button on the right side of the telescope, push it."
Without hesitation, Dimitri pushed the button and the telescope started to process the information and sent it to the computer.
"Okay," said the voice "we're getting something..........Alright it went through, here's the analysis data."
The laptop screen was flashing and read:
DNA ANALYSIS COMPLETE.
DNA ABNORMALTIES: NONE
"Alright I got another one." Dimitiri pushed the button and the process repeated itself.
DNA ANALYSIS COMPLETE
DNA ABNORMALTIES: ANALYSIS SHOWS SUBJECT'S BODY COMPOSITION IS MADE OF 70% CYBERNETIC MATERIAL.
DNA ANAYLISIS COMPLETE
DNA ABNORMALTIES: ANALYSIS SHOWS SUBJECT'S DNA COMPOSITION IS SIMULAR TO THAT FOUND IN ANIMAL'S BUT CONTAIN HUMAN DNA AS WELL
"Alright, we're about done." said the voice.
"Good, I'm about to freeze to death out here. Found one."
DNA ANALYSIS COMPLETE
DNA ABNORMALTIES: DNA UNLISTED, DOESN'T RESEMBLE ANYTHING ON EARTH. POSSIBLE ERROR.
"What was that all about?" asked Dimitri
"Oh, I heard about this. Supposedly they had some sort of extraterestrial in their ranks. I thought it was just a rumor but I guess it's true." said the voice.
"Well it wasn't anything big, it looked human." said Dimitri
"Yeah, we better not spend alot of time dreading it. You found that last one?"
"Yeah, I have it." Dimitri pushed the button.
"Hmm? What's this? this is odd." said the voice, sounding concerned.
"What?, what is it?" said Dimitri.
"It says that it's already on file. Let me pull it up. Give me some time" said the voice.
Dimitri sat there while the error message flashed on the screen. He stared up at the cloudy sky as he tried to keep warm in the bone-chilling cold. The air reminded him about that night....
"Sweet god," said the voice "This can't.....Dimitri, your not going to believe this."
"What?" said Dimitri, now worried something went terribly wrong.
"That DNA, Look on your screen!"
As the screen started to refresh it self, Dimitri couldn't believe it, it flashed all of the data on the screen.
"IS THIS SOME SORT OF JOKE?!?" said Dimitri angrilly
"I don't know, it says it's her but she......I'll send this to the General.
Dimitri waited for a voice to give him an answer. He stared back into the fog where the building was supposed to be and wondered, "Was she really there? Is she really alive?"
"Dimitri," A more deeper voice came on the speaker "This is the General"
Dimitri hushed and gave all of his attention to him.
"We went over the DNA, it's her, no doubt about it." said the General.
"What do you want me to do?" said Dimitri, calmly.
"Your orders are to eliminate her." said the General.
"WHAT?!?" said Dimitri "WHY?!?"
"Because she's wanted for the death of Colonel Mishkin."
Dimitri stood there in silence for a few seconds.
"We were partners, family." said Dimitri "AND YOU JUST WANT ME TO KILL HER?"
"She killed one of our officials, Im sure she was fully aware of the consequences." said the General
"You promised me that you'd bring her back." said Dimitri
"LISTEN DIMITRI, YOUR EMOTIONS HAVE NO PLACE HERE. YOUR ORDERS ARE TO ELIMINATE HER."
"WHAT IF I DON'T FOLLOW ORDERS?"
"Then you'll both be hunted down like animals and be killed"
Dimitri just stood there.
The janitor just looked down at his mop as the security guard talked, the brim of his hat just barely hiding his face as he kept mopping the lobby floor.

Dimitri just stood there.
"You changed General."
"Your supplies will be dropped off at the point where you were supposed to be extracted."
Dimitri grabbed the mic and put it against his mouth "You'll get your dead body, Agent Crow over and out."
