Konrad

BC 02/9 Konrad had been responsible for the devastation of Romanovka, part of his plan to force the Russian Government to change its policy concerning various deals with China. Boris, the Ghost Bear, had led a very successful campaign against the Weres and lesser vampires on the Eastern front. He had killed two of Konrad’s brothers. He’d never been able to find out more than the code name.

Perhaps he could distract the military forces, and get revenge. Major Yerokhin was ordered to With control over key areas, he could force the President to change Russian policies to what he wanted over time. And to send as many teams and assassins as it took to kill Boris.

He contacted Major Yerokhin to mobilize his available forces to interdict and delay the column of civilians en-route to make an illegal border crossing. He had been promised a promotion by his contact in addition to his usual payment if he managed to delay the convoy ten days.

Captain Evgeni Dubrovsky was not comfortable with his orders. Taking down drug traffickers and thwarting slavers - that was why he had joined. Killing civilians fleeing something was not. Harming civilians, Russian civilians, put into an impossible situation was not what he’d signed up for. After they had landed, he was going to head straight for the refugee column and attempt contact. His men would follow him and his orders, or not. He would not have his honor stained with innocent blood if he could help it.
