GSG-9 had been sent to the heart of Germany's criminal underworld. The operation was merely to secure black market supplies from a terrorist supplier then speak with a woman called the queen of lies. From what Elias had heard she doesn't take prisoners. "What do you think she's like?" Monika asked him gazing at her scanner the blue glow of it lighting up the dark aircraft. Dominic had holed himself away as usual for peace and quiet yet also to prepare himself for the battle to come.

"Don't know let's just hope she doesn't kill us." Monika agreed and slightly shoved Marius's head off her shoulder. He could fall asleep almost anywhere. "We're landing soon." Elias announced as some time had past. It was about to get real nasty.

Five hours had passed and the team was in the get away phase passing through the cargo bay ship where the exit awaited. As they ran Elias spotted a shield that had rows of stone grenades on it. "Damn thats a nice shield!" 

"Focus on not dying Elias!" Monika shouted ducking as a bullet flew overhead. Just as they made it reinforcements and evac had arrived. "Ah just in time." A team of scouts laid down covering fire as the main squads headed in to finish the job. A woman helped them up her short hair blowing in the breeze as she ordered the pilot to get them out of there. "Well now that we have the supplier down we need to focus on the second objective." Monika was really telling herself that yet her team nodded checking each other for wounds.

"What about the other soldiers?" Marius asked looking at Elias like he had all the answers. Elias shrugged.

"Don't look at me." The woman walked back into the room and Elias got a good look at her. She was dressed like some sci-fi mercenary. With a long black trench coat, arctic camo cargo pants, and standard military boots. It was like looking at a video game character but it showed that she was unique.

"Are you the queen?" Monika asked and the woman laughed taking a seat across from the Elias's team.

"They gave you my title that the people thrust upon me? That's a little disappointing. We are allies you may call me Y/n." Elias took charge after Monika had lost interest and stopped asking questions.

"Y/n if you don't mind me asking why would you wish to get rid of a smuggler?" She sighed motioning for him to sit down.

"Having someone like that in my port is awful for business. When words gets out everyone flees in terror. I put my people first and when something endangers them I eliminate it." He admired her for that fact. It was very clear to see that she earned the spot on her throne through loyalty,blood(lots of it), and suffering. She wasn't going to go down easily. "Well unfortunately this is your stop Mr.Kötz. Keep me updated who knows when you'll need my help." As they departed he looked back his heart sinking into the pit of his stomach. Then it raced when he thought about her and seeing her again. Looks like Elias had a crush on the queen.

Five months had passed and it was nearly Christmas time. "Elias there's a present here for you!" Monika yelled dragging a large box into the room. Elias leaned his head around the corner still making his morning coffee.

"Who's it from?"he asked settling down besides it. Monika shrugged heading back into her rooming cursing about how heavy it had been. Elias cut the box open excited to figure out what it contained. As he removed several layers of tape and styrofoam he found something that he thought he would never see again. The shield from the ship. The stun grenades gleamed in the light. A letter was taped to the front.

Dear Elias,

Here's an early xmas present my scouts had told me that you liked it so I saved it for you. I was always take care of the people that I care about the most.

Love
Y/n

Elias felt his face turn red. He only knew two things for sure. She was the most amazing person he had met and he was going to be seeing her very soon.
