Operative C in Good Condition
Took a flight out to see C at the secure facility they've got set up in Cali yesterday. Interesting set-up they've got; it's got an antique store for a cover; two old ladies running it and everything, but upstairs they've got all of this state-of-the-art medical equipment and the most attractive nurses money can buy. Not a bad place to convalesce.
Turns out Sierra didn't do much damage with that shot to the stomach. The bullet missed any vital organs, but did manage to remove C's appendix, which, though there is a slight controversy in the medical field, is widely considered a vestigial and useless structure. (C joked from his hospital bed, "Maybe next time she'll get my tonsils.") While the uninformed might consider this a lucky turn of events, we in the profession know that Sierra is a highly trained assassin, and the fact that she didn't leave any serious injuries to C tells us at least that murder was not her goal. We still have not had any reports on her; she has not surfaced anywhere, and we do not know what purpose her disruption of the Armenian/Scientology sting served. Her cover, we have found
out, is still intact with the Scientologists, so this would suggest that she is working with them still. It is not inconceivable that she has been converted; if other very intelligent and independent people (Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Allie) have succombed to the philosophies of L. Ron Hubbard, then it's not too far a stretch to think that one of our top agents is beyond their reach.
C is almost out of the hospital. I believe his feelings are much more hurt than his stomach. When Sierra's bullet shattered his appendix and exited right beneath his rib cage, I think it also shattered his hope that he might have had a possible 'soul-mate' in this cruel profession of ours. While he may deny these things, I know he's a much more sensitive person than his posts and his assassinations would let on, and he may have allowed himself to get too close to someone who in my mind has no capacity for real human emotion. I've only met Sierra once (at least I think it was her), but anyone who can push a button and detonate a car bomb, killing an entire Saudia Arabian family, and then frame the best friend of that family for the murder, is, in my mind, not really someone you want to share your hopes and dreams with. (Actually, that one was my mission, but Sierra's done some very similar stuff. Point is the same.)

It is a shame how quickly blog cofounders can become viscious enemies. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have a lot to teach you two.
Very disappointed in that movie, actually, now that you mention it. Found it completely unrealistic. Hollywood has never made a good spy movie. S*P*Y*S with Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland was probably came close to capturing our line of work, but it was a horrible movie nonetheless.
