"Lies!" was the only thing that Ai had said to him. Just as she was about to comment that butterfly kisses didn't cause the hickies, Harlan smirked, laughing at his inside joke that he had made. Then, she playfully hit him, knowing that he was only pulling her leg. "Don't joke with me like that, I mean, you can easily cover up yours but mine are relatively hard." Then, he grabbed his bag and threw it out of the door, landing down below on the sofa. Looking back at his pockets, he pulled out his gun and his knife. The gun was something that he would have to leave behind, which was something that was annoying on his behalf. However, he needed to clean his knife of the blood so that it can get through customs. Placing the gun in one of his draws, he walked into the bathroom and pulled out hydrogen peroxide. Using the liquid and cloth, he started rubbing it down, removing the blood of the various people that the knife has harmed, him included. Once he was done, he placed it in his pocket and started to rub the alcohol on the knife wound on his arm, cleaning it from the various germs that might be lingering on it. "You live like five minutes from the airport, so shall we check in early and just loiter around the airport for about two hours?"

Walking out and putting the knife in the bag, Harlan looked up towards Ai, wondering on what they should do. "I know that we need to be at the airport at least one hour before our flight, leaving us an hour to do something. I think we might need to linger around the airport, just so that we don't miss our flight."

With his answer spoken, Harlan picked up his bag and placed it by the console that controlled his security system. He listened as Ai commented on his kitchen. "Your kitchen is nicer than my own."

"Thanks, Ai, though I thought that your kitchen was better than my own." They would think that each other's apartments are better than their own, though Harlan knew that they had advantages over the each other. Slowly, he grabbed his keys and walked towards the entranceway, where his living room and kitchen was. "Are we ready to go?"

"Thanks, Ai, though I thought that your kitchen was better than my own." Slowly, he grabbed his keys and walked towards the entrance way, where his living room and kitchen was. "Are we ready to go?"

She only sighed before she looked up to his question about if they were prepared to go or not. Ai smiled and nodded, walking with him to the door. When they got to the car, she only sat inside while gazing out the window, knowing that it wasn't going to take that long to get there.

By the time they parked the car and headed inside, even though she was only wearing rather modest clothing that was reasonably comfortable, some guys who apparently was traveling in groups gave her glance before giving a double take. However, most of them stopped when they noticed Harlan walking behind her, though, some were daring enough to try.

After they checked in their luggage, they headed to where their gate was located. Ai carried her carry-on bag and her personal bag which was her purse that she rarely used but only on travels to out of the country. As she looked at the ticket, she noticed that they were flying first class.

"Harlan, we're flying first class," Ai commented, looking up as they headed towards their gate.

As Ai walked up to where he was, Harlan walked up to the door and started to punch the code into the console. Then, as he finished putting the code into it, the console beeped. A few seconds later, the floor panels started to flip upside down, revealing a hidden pressure sensor that was underneath. The panels changed from a dark grey to white, showing that the sensors were activated. Then, as one would think that the sensors was something that he had for security, red beams started to come out from the floors, producing trip wires from floor to ceiling. He closed the door behind him, bringing his mission gear with him, and turned towards her. "It was something that I thought it would be very useful for my security," he commented, the keys in his hand.

When they arrived at the airport, Harlan stepped out of the car and grabbed the bags that were in the trunk of his Corvette. A few people looked towards them, though they mainly looked at the vehicle that they were in. As he took the bags with him, carrying both his and Ai's, he noticed that there were a few guys that were checking her out. Although most of them stopped when they noticed him, a few carried on watching her. Without another word, he gave them a glare, bearing the look of danger in them. Just then, they stopped looking and briskly walked away, not wanting to mess with him.

With the bags checked out a little later, both Harlan and Ai checked through security, both the readings negative for any dangerous objects. The carryon case that he decided to bring was his laptop, wanting to check something while he was waiting for the plane's departure. When they approached the gate that their flight was, she spoke to him. "Harlan, we're flying first class."

The news had surprised him. This was going to be the first time that he was going to fly in first class in his life, though he wasn't sure on if it was true or not. As they passed through the gate and into the waiting area, Harlan opened his laptop and started to have a look at the area where they were going to assassinate Dr Harkess. "I've got the layout of the World Trade Center over there. If the call was correct, then the meeting would take place on the 30th floor. A good place for us to have a shot at him would be somewhere nearby or shot from a higher floor of the Taipei 101. What do you think?"

Ai didn't see Harlan when he glared at the onlookers, then again, she barely noticed the onlookers after high school. She had worked hard, extremely hard to get where she was. Working out to get a well-toned and much desired body by both females and males alike along with lots of skin care products so she became the "beautiful" woman that she is. Hence, why she loved showing off once in awhile. Then again, she didn't realize what her mother had been in her life time nor could she realize that her father had been quite the looker for one his age. But comparing herself to the top models of their day and such, she was more or less on their level.. or so she thinks anyway.

When they had settled down in their seats near the gate for the near and coming flight, she watched Harlan take out his laptop. She had just sat down when he spoke to her.

"I've got the layout of the World Trade Center over there. If the call was correct, then the meeting would take place on the 30th floor. A good place for us to have a shot at him would be somewhere nearby or shot from a higher floor of the Taipei 101. What do you think?"

She crossed her arms and began speaking in a language that she and Harlan had decided to make up together, so that others nearby wouldn't be able to see or understand what they were talking about. Sure, it had taken quite a bit of time to figure and work out the verbs and such, but it was easy once they got the hang of it. Since they didn't want anyone else learning the language, they had burned any papers or evidence that held any trace of their own secret language. Although, the language was based on Latin so that was the one weak flaw in their language.

"That would be more difficult than being in the actual building itself," she said, starting to speak in the said language. "Seeing as that would mean we would need access to the office floors of the Tower to open the windows since it would be difficult otherwise as the other floors are shopping for the tourists and the Taiwanese... We would need to forge some sort of fake meeting to get access to those floors. I was there when I was younger and I wasn't allowed to go to those floors unless I had a pass of some sort to get in... or so my father said... If I'm remembering correctly."

Ai had spoken to him, though not in English that everyone was familiar with. It was the language that both of them had coined up when they had been partnered up, just so that no one apart from them could understand it. Even though it was somewhat based off of Latin, no one has yet to crack the language, making it safe for them to use. Harlan listened to her, translating the language as she spoke. "That would be more difficult than being in the actual building itself. Seeing as that would mean we would need access to the office floors of the Tower to open the windows since it would be difficult otherwise as the other floors are shopping for the tourists and the Taiwanese...

I was there when I was younger and I wasn't allowed to go to those floors unless I had a pass of some sort to get in... or so my father said... If I'm remembering correctly."

"That would make a lot of sense, seeing the problem from that perspective,"
Harlan replied, using the language that was being used. Some people had looked in their direction, though they just dismissed it as nothing, "Although, I am quite sure that there are people that has to clean the offices from the rubbish and the things that the workers would leave behind. If we manage to get the uniform of those workers and get some ID, proving that we are the workers, then we can get the access to the offices. Does that sound like a good idea?"

"Hmm... it works, but does that mean you're handy with your Chinese?" Ai asked, smiling a rather wicked grin. She would love to see what would happen were a officer to ask them for their ID's and then Harlan have no idea what they just said. She would love to see the expression on his face when he looked confused. Otherwise, she'll just have to vouch for him to say that he's deaf and his hearing aid had broken. That would work as that wouldn't stop him from working and Ai and Harlan both can do sign languages.

However, if Harlan wanted to be stubborn about it and make it difficult for her, that would mean that she would have to teach him basic Chinese in a matter of several hours, and that was going to be difficult.

"Hmm... it works, but does that mean you're handy with your Chinese?"

As Ai smirked at him, Harlan cursed in the language. Both of them knew that he was disadvantaged with the lack of knowledge for the Chinese language. Most of the time, the missions were either in the States or somewhere that the main language was English. This time round, they were going to a place where they didn’t speak much English and had to rely on the native tongue. He cursed again, mixing both English and their language. Why didn’t I think of that before?! I know I can pass through any security well enough with the use of the tongue, but that’s useless when I can’t speak the damned language! Thinking hard again, he looked at the situation at hand. Just as he thought that the idea would have to change, he suddenly thought of another idea. Quickly, he turned towards her again. ”We both know that I can’t speak Chinese much, apart from the few phrases that I have managed to learn when you spoke. But… How about you go to the office building with the sniper rifle and I will head on to the meeting itself? I would certainly know that I can take out one of his bodyguards out and go undercover as one, mixing into the meeting well.’

Just as he had spoken, Harlan heard the call for their flight to start boarding the plane. Both of them got to the kiosk and shown them the tickets. Then, they started to walk towards the doors of the plane, waiting for the flight to start.

Ai only laughed at his swearing and the mix of their language together only made it even more amusing. She was going to suggest that he could just act deaf, but apparently, he didn't think of that plan. Perhaps he was thinking of something else through all of his swearing and cursing. She only giggled at the beautiful string of words she had just heard... although, most had only merely glanced their once before settling back down to what they were doing. They must be thinking that he had forgotten something back at home.

”We both know that I can’t speak Chinese much, apart from the few phrases that I have managed to learn when you spoke. But… How about you go to the office building with the sniper rifle and I will head on to the meeting itself? I would certainly know that I can take out one of his bodyguards out and go undercover as one, mixing into the meeting well.’

She smothered a giggled when he mentioned how little of her language he actually knew, aside from a few phrases. She stopped though, much to the sadness of the others around her who liked listening to it... maybe it had been something musical they've heard in awhile. The laugh was a trait she had from her mother. She looked thoughtful for a moment as she thought about it, as her hand touched her chin. "I can get the Sniper rifle in no problem, but... how are to meet up? And I don't mind you doing that... but..." A flutter of doubt touched her expression.

When the call for first class to go on-board first surprised her. Were they already going on the plane already? She checked the time, realizing that a whole hour had passed... Wow, had they spent that much time thinking and checking in their luggage longer than she had thought.

She checked her boarding pass and handed it to the worker who checked it and ripped it a portion before giving a part back to go onto the plane. When they got inside, she noticed she sat at the window. Placing her carry-on in the overhead compartment, and then moved in to sit in her seat, she placed her personal bag beneath the seat in front of her. She then buckled her seat belt before she decided to speak up again.

"Harlan, I can get the sniper rifle no problem in there, but the question from me is what are you going to plan to do when the plan falls apart?" she asked, suddenly feeling anxious as her hands clenched in her lap. She didn't want him to get hurt in case she might miss. After all, as soon as a gunshot is sounded, everything will fly into chaos and then there's the factor of what floor, the wind speed and etc. to add into the mix.

Harlan listened as she giggled at his comment for the lack of language use that he has. The giggle was rather musical, which had soothed his nerves for the assignment. He didn't know why he was getting worked up, but it was something that he had dismissed. He knew that they would get the job done, no matter what. Then, as she stopped giggling, she spoke to him. "I can get the Sniper rifle in no problem, but... how are to meet up? And I don't mind you doing that... but..." Then, she was interrupted as the call for first class passengers started to come onboard. As he looked out for his seat, he noticed that Ai was sitting at the window, with two seats on either side of the gangway. Coincidentally, he had the seat that was next to hers. He placed the laptop in the overhead compartment and sat down, buckling in his seat.

"Harlan, I can get the sniper rifle no problem in there, but the question from me is what are you going to plan to do when the plan falls apart?"

Harlan thought about it. He knows that he doesn't have a grand choice when he was nearby Dr Harkess himself. All he knew was that he had a chance of getting near him and taking him out, just in case Ai had missed him. When everything else fails, he would try and use explosives and take the floor down, with him wearing a wingsuit for a quick escape out of the window. Then, after thinking a little while, he replied to her question. "I will try and get my wingsuit and equipment in the room next door. If you miss, I will pretend that I was 'shot' by an assassin that would be hiding in there and try and take him out there. If nothing else works, I will use any possible explosives to blow the floor to kingdom come and jump out of the window. I should hopefully be long gone before the police are able to get to the building." As he finished his last sentence, the safety announcement was being spoken to the passengers inside.

Ai only looked at him for a moment with an intense like stare before turning away to face the window, not allowing him to see the expression on her face. "Hopefully," she whispered. For the first time in her life, she was really scared for someone other than her parents and herself. "I would prefer you not to blow up the building or floor, just only use smoke bombs."

She continued watching the outside window until the pilot announced that they were taking off. She rested her chin on her hand on the armrest to continue gazing out the window...
