After making their way to the south side of Jerusalem and into the tunnel system by way of a drainage exit Annie and Zipporah found their way into the old tunnels of the ancient city. After five hours of searching the dark tunnels and trudging through murky puddles of stagnant water both women became frustrated.

"I have lived here my whole life and never did I know all of these tunnels were down here" Zipporah said as she crouched down to make her way into another adjoining tunnel while pointing her flashlight down it.

"Well by the looks of it we have been down almost half of the tunnels just on the south side these tunnels could reach on forever." Annie said swiping and looking through the uploaded maps of the tunnels on her Ipad.

"There is no telling where the Ghazi are located, they could be anywhe-" Zipporah started to say when suddenly voiced could be heard. Annie looked up from her Ipad in time to see Zipporah motion to her to come to the side of the tunnel with her. Annie stuffed her Ipad in her bag and came up behind her. They were plunged into a dreary darkness with a click of the flashlight turning off. Using only the sense of touch and sound they walked along the side of the tunnel in the direction of the voices as they neared the source they could hear a clear conversation in Farsi between two men. Annie signaled Zipporah to stay where she was as she moved slowly into another tunnel. This one was like the others in the fact it was ancient but this one was cleaner and lit every few feet with small flood lights and had small pockets that looked to be used as rooms. She could hear the talking perfectly now but needed to see where it was coming from, about to move in closer a man carrying a AK-47 came from the other end of the tunnel. Annie ducked into a "room" clear of anyone, the man turned to go into the room but stopped to light a cigarette. Annie held her breath knowing she had to act fast; meanwhile Zipporah watched what was going on. She quickly crept up behind the man just as he stepped into the doorway, Annie was posed ready to strike the man but was surprised as he crumpled to the floor in front of her out cold. Zipporah stepped over the man and looked at her.

"Silent but deadly I see" Annie whispered in amazement.

"He isn't dead, just asleep for a while. I don't kill unless necessary, now help me move him" Zipporah grabbed his hands and started to pull Annie helped. Annie looked at the man's face it was Almakah Ameer, the younger of the brothers in the group.

"It's Ameer" she whispered Zipporah nodded in agreement. All they needed was pictures now and exact coordinates of where they were to take back to their agencies. Annie quickly took out the GPS and the encrypted Wi-Fi USB. It only took a second for the GPS to locate where they were, Annie then sent it to the USB. Zipporah grabbed the camera and started down the tunnel Annie finished the transfer and followed her. They approached the room where the two voices were and to the women's surprise many crates of ammunition. Zipporah lay flat on the floor, took the camera and pointed the special bendable lens around the corner and into the room. Snapping the pictures she pulled the camera back and gave it to Annie. Annie sent the pictures to the USB.

Just as the women started to find their way out of the tunnel the two men came running out of the room shouting and firing their guns somehow they had heard them. Annie seeing them before Zipporah shouted "RUN!" As both agents sprinted out of the tunnel dogging bullets as they whizzed by their heads echoing off the walls of the tunnel. Annie hit send on the USB and pulled the pin and it dissolved. As they rounded a corner a cry shot out Zipporah was hit. A bullet had grazed her head, she fell to her knees Annie stopped and tried to help her up.

"Leave me" Zipporah said, her eyesight suddenly becoming blurry.

"Not on your life" Annie said pulling her to her feet, footsteps coming closer. Zipporah whipped out her knife and hissed at Annie.

"Leave me now, finish the mission" she pointed the knife at Annie her eyesight fading in and out "Promise me!" Zipporah was serious she would not let anyone get killed because of her even if that meant having to threaten her only support. Everything in Annie screamed to stay but the agent in her told her to do as the young Isreali said.

"I will be back" Annie said as she ran out of the tunnels leaving Zipporah to her unknown fate. As she made her way back out to the street she took out her phone and dialed Auggie's number her mind whirling as she struggled within herself.

"Annie-" Auggie started

"Did you get the Intel" Annie said abruptly and quickly. Auggie sensed the urgency in her voice.

"Yes, just came up" he said "what happened?"

"Zipporah is still in there she was hit and she made me promise to finish the mission. I have to go back now that I know it is finished"

"Annie no it's not safe, I will alert Mussad to send a team in"

"No, they will leave her I know they will! We can't wait! Goodbye Auggie. " and with that Annie hung up and loaded her Gun.

Auggie stood to his feet praying that click wasn't real, he screamed into the phone "Annie! Annie!"
