Dorian returned and handed Ivan a list. Ivan frowned and scanned it, his eyebrows raising. "Holy shit!"
He looked at Dorian- the poor guy looked tired, resigned even and Ivan's heart went out to him. The guy had made his choice. A choice that could see him killed. But he did it, had done it. Ivan smiled at him. This was a good man, a good pop."This is awesome. Thank you Dorian."
He passed it over to the Doc for her to look at.
At least they wouldn't be completely caught unawares. Then the monitor caught he eye and he stared at it. One step forward, one step back.
A noise made Ivan look up and he saw Sokolov and Konstantinov come in and wander over. They looked tired as they dropped into their chairs, Sokolov letting his head rest on his chest with his eyes closed. Konstantinov had bags under his eyes. It had been a long night for both of them, obviously. The Cap too. Either he was in his office or on the way.
In any case, things were moving fast, too fast. The live feed from Red Square showed the crowd getting larger and larger. It wasn't violent, not yet, but the supporters and the protesters weren't being shy as they tossed about slogans and chants. There was also a police presence- you don't get a large crowd in front of the Kremlin without that.
That itch Ivan felt just kept getting stronger. Ascendancy had publicly outed them. Guys like Smiley prolly woulda laid low. But there were others who wanted attention. This would be the perfect place for it. Andlain could show up. If not him, someone else. Something was going to happen. He could feel it.
He looked at the Cap's office and then decided. He had to go. He looked at the two officers, the Doc, Vega and the new guy. "That crowd is getting ugly. And this could make Izmailovsky Square look like a picnic. I'm going to head over there. Let the Cap know. I can be reached there, if he needs me."
He grabbed his coat and headed for the door.
