Location: Vatican Library
Time: 15:00 Local

The city and everything in it, including the Vatican Library, wasn?t a new
place to Elisabeth. Who had spent considerable time here during and research
stint not so long ago.
?According to the maps there is supposed to be a entrance into the lower
levels around here,? Willow said as she tapped her foot on the marble floor.
?You know I could get us in without all this secrecy?? Elisabeth asked
evidently not liking having to play the tourist.
?But then people would know that we?ve been down there and we don?t want
that,? Willow countered. Elisabeth sighed.
?Secret Agents,? she muttered to herself. Willow looked up at the blond
Professor and smiled.
?Come here,? she said as she reached out with her hand.
After looking at the offered hand for a while Elisabeth gently reached out
and took it. Willow smiled pleasantly as she lead the Professor through the
library and then under one of it?s arches into a closed off section, once
she was sure they were out of sight she let go off her hand.
?Now you listen up and listen up good,? she started as she took a step
closer to the blond. ?We?re sitting on a potential powder keg here. Now we
know they must have somebody on the inside, so if you go waltzing in
flashing that million watt smile of yours they will most likely find out
that we?re onto them,? Willow explained.
?It would be easier then breaking into the Vatican Library, breaking up the
floor which is marble and in itself a work of art and then having to blast
the into the sewers system to get out with the Ark since we?re not sneaking
it back up through the library entrance,? Elisabeth explained, baring down
on the agent.
?Look I know you volunteered for this, but don?t forget I?m in charge,?
Willow retorted.
?I was forced into this fiasco,? Elisabeth countered. ?Or have you
forgotten??
?Hey it?s not my fault you snuck those artifacts out of China without
permission,? Willow exclaimed.
?First of all?? Elisabeth started, but stopped when she spotted a security
guard who was watching their fight.
<Sorry we got lost> Willow said in Italian as she backed away from
Elisabeth and took her hand.
?So what?s the plan?? Elisabeth asked with a sigh.
?Come here,? Willow said as she drew the professor in closer and started to
whisper in her ear. ?We sneak in through the roof,? she said and tilted her
head up. ?There?s a ventilation grate above the entrance room?? she paused
??and smile like I?m whispering something sweet and meaningless into your
ear,? she added and Elisabeth produced an ecstatic smile. ?We?ll have to
crawl up but the ducts are old and therefore wide and sturdy? she explained
further and sneaked an arm around the Professor?s waist. ?Then, like you
said, there?s a sewage tunnel running parallel to one of the catacomb
tunnels, but to solve that problem we have Faith. So we blast that open and
then sail down the sewer into the outtake,? she finished.
?Why don?t we just go in there? Through the sewer I mean? Elisabeth asked,
but making no objections to the agent nuzzling against her side.
?Cause the blasting would alert everybody and their grandmother that
something is up, but if we do it on the way out??
?It will hide our exit and add to the confusion,? Elisabeth finished with a
grin, but when an elderly couple smiled at them as they past she stiffened.
?Don?t tell me you are embarrassed?? Willow asked.
?No? just uncomfortable,? Elisabeth answered as she extracted herself from
the red heads hold.

Faith was getting stir crazy and spending the day cooped up with William
didn?t help either. Although he had taken to the roof to catch up in his
reading in the afternoon sun, it wasn?t any better since it left her alone
with the gentleman spy who was apparently used to long hours of inactivity.
?So? Rupert how long have you been with the IM?? she asked.
?Since before you were born most likely,? the British agent, answered
without looking up from his book.
?What?s eating you?? she asked next.
?Pardon me??
?Well obviously something is bugging you out, so spill,? she explained.
?I don?t approve of romance in the ranks,? he answered after a moment?s
pause.
?What William and me? you think I?m boinking William Blood?? she exclaimed.
?I never that said? I merely pointed out that??
?Listen up and listen up good, I hate that man. He?s stuck up, self
righteous, undisciplined, thinks with his dick and??
?Everything you?re not?? Willow asked with a smile as she entered the room
with the dull looking professor in tow.
?Did you find a way in?? Rupert asked, seemingly unfazed by Faith?s
outburst.
?Yep, but we?ll need some blasting done down in the sewers and we?ll need
somebody to wait in a boat at the outtake,? Willow answered.
?What did I miss?? William asked as he came rushing in wearing a towel,
holding his book in one hand and a reflective mirror in the other.
?We?re going in, we?ll sneak in and get the Ark out. Faith will blast a
hole between the tunnels and the sewers with Elisabeth assisting her, Rupert
will be waiting at the sewage outtake with a boat,? Willow explained.
?What if they fire up the Ark? I mean? I really should go with you,?
Elisabeth said.
?Sorry Betty, but this is something you aren?t trained for and if things go
sour, we?ll be better of with losing just two agents,? Willow answered with
a cold tone of professionalism in her voice.
?I?ll just go and prepare some notes for you then,? Elisabeth huffed and
turned away.
?Good, Faith can you do a precise blast??
?I?d have to drill into the walls, but yeah I can blast whatever size hole
you need, ?Faith nodded with a grin.
?Great, William please bring out some of the heavy hardware, armor piercing
bullets and jackets and anything else you can think of. Rupert put the
kettle on and start coming up with alternate escape routes and where we?re
getting a boat,? Willow ordered.
?We move out at 24:00 hours.?


Willow was busy checking her hardware; palmtop, Swiss Army knife, her guns
the one at her hip and the other strapped around her ankle, while Elisabeth
watched her go through the motions of preparing herself.
?See something you like?? Willow asked without looking up.
?Came to give you this,? Elisabeth said and handed her a palmtop. ?It has
all the information you?ll need to shut down the Ark,? she explained as
Willow scanned the text.
?It?s in Hebrew,? she said.
?Figured I?d make it hard for anybody else to read it? should it fall into
the wrong hands,? the professor explained with a weak smile.
?Good thinking,? Willow nodded as she slipped the palmtop a special slot in
her belt.
?Also? hold out your hand,? Elisabeth said with a smile. Willow raised and
eyebrow, but stuck out her hand with her palm turned upwards.
?This is for luck,? Elisabeth said and Willow felt as a small chain pooled
itself in her palm.
?The Star of David?? Willow asked. ?Where did you find it??
?A dig, you know all that ?stuff? I brought, well? I took some work with
me,? Elisabeth explained with a smile.
?Looks old,? Willow said as she turned it over in her hand and opened the
lock.
?Here let me,? Elisabeth said and took the necklace and stepped behind the
agent, brushing away red hair she carefully brought the necklace around a
graceful pale neck and then locked it, all the time trying to avoid too much
skin contact.
?I?ll let you get on with? your secret agent thing,? she said as she
stepped back.
?Hmm, hmm,? Willow nodded and barely registering when the blond left the
room.

Huddled in the back of an unmarked van, the team went over the plan one last
time.
?Ready to go sewer diving?? Faith asked Elisabeth with a grin.
?Sure, hear the silt is excellent this time of year,? the blond professor
answered as she tied her hair into a ponytail and then covered it with a
basketball cap.
?Okay one last time,? Willow said suppressing a chuckle. ?Faith you and the
professor stand ready to blast and be ready to lay down cover fire if need
be, Rupert will take the van, dump it and then go and wait with the boat.
William and I will go do the Ethan Hunt,? she explained, referring to the
agency term used when agents went climbing inside the ductworks of
buildings. ?Any questions?? she asked and looked around. ?Alright then lets
move out ,? she said and opened the van door.
?William,? Faith said and placed her hand on the elder agents arm causing
to him to pause and turn.
?Good luck,? she said and kissed his cheek, giving a confused look William
nodded and jumped out of the van.
?You like him don?t you?? Elisabeth asked as they opened the hatch in the
floor of the van.
?Nah? it?s mostly UST and I?m doing to piss Rupert of a bit,? the
specialist explained with a grin.
?UST?? Elisabeth asked.
?Unresolved sexual tension, it keeps things interesting,? Faith explained
as she reached down and moved the manhole grate. ?Kind of like you and Red,?
she added as she slit down the manhole.

Outside Willow and William were already halfway up the walls, when the van
sped into the night.
?Now I know this isn?t a normal mission,? Willow said as the looked up the
wall and found her next hold.
?Why is that?? William asked.
?Faith touching you in a non-violent, non-threatening way,? Willow answered
with a smirk. ?That?s got to be sign.?
?Oh shut up and get your shapely arse up here,? William said as he pulled
himself up onto the wall and which let onto the roof of the museum.
