A trip to Albania

Leo Van Koft was sent to Albania to eliminate the last of the rebels which had caused the largest civil war of the country. It had been years and years of fight and thousands of deaths that finally determined the Germanic government to send his best man to put an end to the cruel rebellion. Nobody knew why Germany was so interested with that matter, though nobody ever questioned this help. It was too valuable to lose it for such a minor complication.

Van Koft arrived at the capital city eager to find Frederick Dunstan. It would be an extraordinarily difficult job. No one could had ever caught him nor even found him. He was supposed to be hiding somewhere in the mountains or deep in the forest. Intuition was the only thing he could rely on. His own intuition and nothing else. Three days had he been wandering before he met a woman who had said to see Dunstan by the Derwat river, behind the hills and across the woods. Leo trusting her directed towards that site.

It was awfully hard to get. There were neither roads nor even a path. From time to time he thought he would not be able to get out alive of that cursed forest. After a two week journey he managed to cross it and reach the river. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Down the river was a mansion, a mansion surrounded by mountains. He decided to have a look. It was much bigger than any house he had ever seen. It was deserted, though. There was no living soul in that luxurious house. He stood in the grass looking at the clear sky, thinking in nothing but how to get out of there. That is when he realised that he has been fooled; he was led into a trap.

Behind him was standing Frederick Dunstan aiming Van Koft with a shotgun. In a split of a second Van Koft turned and pointed him with his gun too. The time froze. Every second that passed seemed an hour. Both of them were staring at each other. The silence was broken by a loud dull sound. The powder’s smell was still in the air. Down, on the floor lay a body. He drag the body to a secondary road. His work was finally done, he managed to survive and kill the enemy; but on the pavement was Leo Van Koft destroyed, but beyond defeat.
