Naples, Italy. Huan sighed, her eyes scanning over some details on a small simple government laptop. Still no word from her premier; good, that meant this self-imposed break could continue for a day or so more before she had to go back to work. Now was the time other commanders might have fussed over their units, making sure everyone was up to regulations and fully briefed and equipped, but all that had been prepared months ago. Now Huan just waited for a 'go' order before she could start moving pieces around. There was only so much you could do aboard a carrier before the entire process became a matter of routine. Her men needed a break as well. So here she was, in some comfortable but (at least to her) good looking civilians, relaxing in the cool air of old Napoli. If only she had the money to indulge in a luxurious open air restaurant with an attractive local date sporting some scandalous attire. Instead, she was sipping cheap watered-down wine in an internet cafe that had a... rustic appeal, that was growing on her. Huan had to remind herself that this in itself was a luxury granted by the fact that she had literally nothing else to do. It helped that this 'leave of absence' was on the governments dime, too. Realizing entirely too late that she might get in a little bit of trouble for that, Huan closed her laptop and stretched. Her table was empty, as was most of this establishment. It was boring, in other words. When Huan envisioned this excursion she imagined it perhaps a bit too much like a cheesy Hollywood film and not the unprofessional excuse to get drunk and relax that it so clearly was. Unconsciously she massaged a new scar only barely concealed by her turtleneck on the back of her neck, a reminder that hiking up the Himalayas was difficult when your training amounted to instructional videos and a chorus of 'yes-men' marines too afraid that their colonel would write them up for sexual assault if the would just check her harness like the rest of the new blood. Ah well. Who knows, maybe something might make this night salvageable? Huan considered hitting the club circuit, even if she was getting entirely too old for that kind of entertainment. At least they probably wouldn't dilute the wine.

(I would if I could, but considering that my character's wanted worldwide for eco-terrorism, cyber-terrorism, espionage, mass genocide, 1st degree murder, the production of illegal weapons of mass destruction, and kidnapping, I doubt he'd be too difficult to spot in a crowd.)

Rosalinda had been exhausted with a recent police raid on Croatian corruption.Taking the lead on most Croatian SWAT counterparts and disarming the first criminal Directing such understaffed and undereducated staff was a drag.Before she was to continue the talks she decided to check in on dear little miss Fan.Her contacts in china had recently been jailed.This round it had seemed the ever lasting tango between the CIA and the secret police had been won by the PLA.Never the less while she was going to pay her respects at the memorial being constructed in the devastated crater that was once the great Vatican city. she was forwarded a rumor, one that suggested that miss Huan had been sent on a mock mission outside the country till her trial ended.But It was obvious this was a sort of leave incase she could never step on Chinese soil again.Rather then paying her aspects she rerouted her craft to go to Italy.There she had no intel on where she was, yet Ann her left hand woman being a rugged tracker would be perfect for the job.Ann left the morning Rosalinda had checked into her hotel under an alias, within two days of reading CIA reports she had found a lead. Moments later Ann contacted her to say she had found miss Fan.
Rosalinda's rage still burned deep inside her, to be played by that diable Miller.She had already did phase one of her part to correct her mistake by confronting and leading to the death of Omar.Still with the blood of the pope on her hands she didn't want to see another innocent to be dead for her mistake in Egypt. As unlikely as the thought might seem to her, she'd rather have fan on board her conquistador far from PLA hands then six feet under.
Alas she came in view to a cafe shop in Naples, Italy. As to her acknowledgement where Huan was located alongside this street.With her tracking device on her, she walked down the street in her heels.With her conquistador inside the hangar nearby reloading and preforming maintenance she felt this would be a good time to ease up.Ann was keeping her eye on Rosalinda, stationed not far from where she was at.Keeping an eye on her captain from rooftop to windows.
Rosalinda took a deep breath then spotted Fan sitting down.She fixed her clothes and looked around for any guards she might have. Rosalinda "was" infact taking a break to mayhem but as to Huan, She was yet in disguise as a PLA secret police officer.A highly ranking one at that.To her she was just giving a measurement of friendly gestures to see if she fit requirements of a friend. Rosalinda then creased a half smile while inhaling the night chilling air before exhaling., Tugging her coat she snug in tight within her face covering her mouth with her scarf as she began to walk towards the cafe. There she found Huan sitting near a table closing her laptop as Rosalinda began to approach her. Her black heels click the floor as she began to walk her strut of stance to Huan. Rosalinda's shadow overlap the view to Huan as she looked up. "Well Hello Colonel, or may I call you Huan?Nice to bump in with you" "Mind if I join in?"

Fan raised an eyebrow at the new arrival, barely containing her surprise. She nodded once in the affirmative. "It is good, I suppose, word got out about my promotion. I am quite surprised to see you here. Despite many opportunities I was not informed I might have a ministerial handler."
The Colonel gestured to one of the empty chairs across from her. "By all means, have a seat. I am sure this will be an interesting conversation, Miss...?" Fan legitimately couldn't remember this persons name. The face was immediately recognizable however, even if their last meeting had been eight months ago.

Rosalinda was unenlightened to her own ordeal of not knowing what to say for she wasn't prepared for partaking a name enable to conceal her own identity.
She feared the only name that could come out of her lips without thinking twice was the name of her favorite aunt. "Calero, Mòlì.My mother named it from an old song that was the rage back in the day.Mo Li Hua, ever heard of it? It was used in Summer Olympics till the 20202s and during shanghai Expos too opening ceremony, and hilarously enough been used in some Chinese protests.Thanks for the seat Colonel." She said as she pulled out a chair and sat infront of Huan, crossing her legs to the other as such as she took in the scenery of Naples.
Exhaling the cold air while gazing around with her eyes taking in on whilst left of her paradise. She then turn around to Huann and with a smile gesture she then went on to the point as such unorthodox "I was just on my way to a restaurant, when I saw you here.The food in the LP is microwaveable cardboard.(Listeningoutpost)
I was going to dine alone however...would you care to join me? Finding you here is as unexpected and delightfull suprise that I might need."
Huann took a glance back at such request, reluctantly gave a pause. Rosalinda took notice of her behavior as she raised her eyebrow diligently. "Surely if you already have plans, then I will intrude no further. Then I apologize for my inconvenience" Huann raised both hands as she shook them while also shaking her head as well, excusing her manner
"No, no not all I am very sorry for the awkward silence. Of course I can join you" "Excellent." Rosalinda then checked her cell phone and put it away I made the reservation at *8:00 and it's 7:30 if we leave now we will get there in time. Huann nodded with agreement before both women got up from their chairs at almost precise time.
Huann was getting her laptop and putting it away while Rosalinda reached in for her wallet and taking out a bill of 500 and throwing it away as if it were nothing.Leaving the tip at the table while they began to leave the café and entering to the busy cobblestone steps of the streets as entertainment sprang everywhere. Huann by her force of habit began walking near a bus stop before a black luxerious italien car drove up infront of Rosalinda as she then informed to Huann.
"We are taking my car and my chauffeur." Huann was strucked and bewildered when the chauffeur came in open the back door for them then sat next to the driver that Huann never saw.She was rather startled till the Chauffeur initiated her to get in.
Hesitantly she did followed by Rosalinda as the chauffeur close the door behind them took his own seat to the front seat of the steering wheel before taking off.
When then Rosalinda pulled down a drawer where a mini bar stand, taking it out a bottle of a light champagne. Pouring in two tall glasses as she handed a glass to Huann in which she accepted with a nod.For some reason thou there was a bow and a quiver inside the car,Huann felt too shy to ask.She couldn't comply of any refinement of what was more amazed the fact that there was a mini bar inside the car or the fact that the restaurant upon arriving seemed luxurious than she can ever afford. The place was called Ranzo e Luica.
A bell hopper open the door of their car as they were lead inside. While entering the restaurant Huann was appalled if not bewildered at her surroundings, trying not to stumble while her mouth was gaping open with astonishment. She’s seen luxury but never partaking it due to her unaffordability of her economic income. Rosalinda snap to her alternative before the waiter lead them to their seats. Where in several minutes Rosalinda ordered two plates of scampi shrimp alfeducinni pasta with alfredo sauce. Two orders of boiled buttered lobsters with salad on the side. A top brand wine and two dishes on 3 sets of cannoli. Rosalinda gave the menu to the waiter as he excuse himself to leave. With coy Rosalinda stated to Huann “You seemed like you haven’t ate in ages...that makes two of us. We secluded our poor dietary compliment to fight for our country. It’s a sacrifice we have to take for it has nothing to do with our class.The secret polices pockets reach deep when intellegence is involved” Rosalinda said with a smug “Besides it won’t hurt if we treat ourselves once in a while” Huann couldn't help but gave a small nod with agreement.
Upon 20 minutes hit the mark where the waiter brings their entrées while packing the wine in the wine pack of ice before departing once again. Huann couldn't contain her posture and adequacy but her appetite overcame her self endurance as she picked up the fork and knife and immediately began to dig in. Chewing loudly with obscene for she was hungry nothing compared on what they sever her in military base.
Rosalinda gently leered at Huann as she gently sip her wine while nibbling her pasta and her salad. Huan looked up at her and her surroundings for it had seemed that she was making more noise than she thought. “I’m sorry I didn’t to make such noise” Huann excuse herself however Rosalinda hand extend to a halt and waved it. “No, don’t worry. I don’t mind that at all.This is my treat Colonel, your off on leave best to enjoy it” Rosalinda paused for a bit and then went down to the point.
“Say ugh wouldin’t you like to have some misconception adventures?” Huann stopped what she’s doing and looked up to her. Rosalinda saw some puzzled expression braised on huann gestured. She then lowered herself to huann enough for her to whisper to her. “Perhaps I should made myself clear. There is this gallery on display of an archelolgists work.Who’s doing was an expedition from chinas mainlandiIts open here in Naples. He is showing of his prized find from our lands, stolen in the name of archeology...
One in particular I mean that captivated both the states and my intrest is the Jade crystal Dragon.Carved from pure emeralds and presumed to be priceless.One that is off limits for to sell it,or the state to comendeer it as he found it. However I want it back in chinas lap and so does the state.Thats why Im here after all...Yet I've had trouble so far as theese europeans have rejected the visas of the members I requested to help me.I have with me a staff of ten men and not much equipment to show for it.
However it is a choise that Im giving you colonel.Given your rather "pending" status within the PLA.I cannot force you to help me nor can I include you to my end report, buut-
She said roling her eyes and biting her lips abit.I can promise you I will make it worth your time...Say I have an expected budget for this operation.One I can overextend but if I dont fill up entirely is left to my discretion on how its handled...So what do you say Colonel? Join me in returning something that rightfully belongs in the secure archives of china rather then on public display for european profiteering?
