The Engineer and the Time Lady - Rescuing Hernandez

19. Rescuing Hernandez
“We're now close to the MI6 Building,” Hawkins reported as they passed the Vauxhall Bridge.
 
“Beginning scan,” T'Sal reported.
 
 
The scan took a while.
 
“She's there,” T'Sal said.
 
“So, can we get a lock?” Rostova asked.
 
“No,” T'Sal said. “I can't localise it. We'll have to go in ourselves and free her.”
 
“Great!” Rostova complained. “At least it should be easier than during the War.”
 
“Remember that this is during the Cold War. It's not going to be a cakewalk,” Hawkins said.
 
“I know that,” Rostova said, putting on a bad British accent.
 
“Orders?” Hawkins asked.
 
“Pull up alongside the Embankment,” T'Sal ordered.
 
“We'll be there in a few moments,” Hawkins said.
 
 
As soon as the Harris came alongside the Embankment, T'Sal and Rostova emerged from the top hatch. “The Building is approximately half a kilometer to the northeast,” T'Sal said.
 
“That isn't too far,” Rostova said.
 
“But it would be quite a distance to run once we have Hernandez,” T'Sal said as she slipped on a hat to hide her Vulcan ears.
 
“Quite true. But I managed to outrun Vorta and Cardassians in the War. I'll manage.”
 
“I'm aware of that. That is one reason I chose you for this mission.”
 
Rostova acknowledged that with a nod.
 
 
Once on the Embankment they set off towards the MI6 Building at a slow, but steady pace.
 
( They approached the building 15 minutes later. )
