talking through the announcement speaker. "Well, well, well. Isn’t it agent fourteen? It’s been a long time since we last met. How are you? Come out now, meet me here on the stairs at the entrance room."
    "That bitch!" Roger almost shouted. I ordered him to stay calm. I whispered to Claire to be careful. But before she left, she handed me some few gadgets to continue with our mission. She handed me an x-ray scanner device, password encryption device and few balls looked like Sonic Wave but in different color. She went out from her hiding place and met her at the entrance room. 
    "Agent twelve. I am well and I missed you too" Claire replied in a mocking tone.
    "Oh, such a cutie little pie. Why don’t you just stop what you’re doing, I know you’re not alone here, if you don’t want them to be dead, then just give up and tell me what you’re up to?"
    "You wish." said Claire.
    "I wish? Ahh, well I wish that you would join me and stop being a bother like an annoying fly perhaps?"
    "Enough Viana! What exactly is it that you want? Power? Glory? Praises? Stop this nonsense already. None of this is important anymore. Look the world around you. There’s nothing left. Nothing! No laughs, no smiles, no happiness but all there to see now are darkness and sadness!"
    "Oh my, I didn’t know that you can play drama right here. Amateur. I’m sure you know what I want. You have it with you. Don’t lie to me. Tell me now, I’ll let you go and that three other brats hiding over there!"
    "Over my dead body."
    "You’ll regret this agent fourteen!"

    Unforeseen Consequences

    I asked Roger to help me out to uncover the secret behind the painting. Roger, Sarah and I went back to the art gallery room. Claire and Viana were fighting furiously at the other side. First, I scanned the painting with the x-ray scanner device. It’s clean; nothing was hidden inside the painting or any secret codes. I asked Roger to help me lift up the big painting and put it down on the floor. Then, I scanned the wall behind the painting. "Beep!" There was a beeping sound as I scanned the surface of the wall. I took out the password encryption device from my pocket, it was a very thin device like some ten pieces of paper bind together and as big as a soap. I activated the device and stuck it on the wall and let it ran doing it's job. Then I asked Roger to help me out again to pick up the painting and put it back on the wall, so that no body would noticed if we had done something to the painting.
    "Roger, I want you to stay here with Sarah, I am going to help Claire and can I count on you to look after Sarah?" I asked Roger.
    "Yes Travis, I will look after her. Don’t worry."
    "Stay alert and keep yourselves hidden, okay?"
    "I will."
    "Good. I'm counting on you."
    I left the room and start joining Claire at the other side. I hid myself behind one of the statues near the entrance door. I took a peek from behind the statue and saw Claire having such a hard time fighting Viana. She was no ordinary opponent. They shot toward each other creating messed around the room. The walls, pillars, artifacts and even chandeliers were destroyed from non-stop repetitive shootings. It was definitely hard for me to move fast in my SWAT uniform, though it gave me full protection against bullets. Claire saw me immediately after I waved her a sign to keep distracting Viana while I tried to snipe her from my location. Claire went out from her hiding place, with her hands up in the air holding her guns. 
    "Viana stop! I give up. I surrender!" Claire said.
    "Oh, you’ve changed your mind now? Well that’s good because if you insist on fighting me you would die for nothing." Viana said confidently.
    "I know. That’s why I surrender. I am no match for you. Besides, I am running out of ammo." Replied Claire.
    "A very wise decision agent fourteen, so now tell me what is it are you hiding and why are you here?" Viana walked toward Claire, left hand pointing a gun and
