Why this must be read: Becauselucifuge_5 is the queen of AU's and this one lives up to its premise. Renfield Turnbull is an operative for the mysterious Agency and Mikey Way is a rock star. Through a series of misadventures they meet and try to forge a connection in spite of everything that's trying to keep them apart.
It's an awesome story filled with familiar due South and Bandom characters, plus more than a few surprises.lucifuge_5 skillfully weaves canon events together to make a suspenseful, delightful story.
"Four days ago, a Level-0 Operative by the name of Guy Rankin broke into the First Archive, pocketed the Valhalla database and vanished into the ether."
"What?" Renfield brought his full attention to what Vecchio was telling him. He knew that the information in Valhalla was basic info on the Level 1 and 2’s. He was aware that the data on the Level 3’s and Elite Operatives was in a separate Archive. However, the idea of anyone outside the Agency reading about Operatives sent a wave of nausea through him.
"Well, actually, he snatched the keys and the first part of the database. Once a rogue, always a rogue, I’ve always said." Vecchio shrugged. His tone of voice sparked a wave of recognition in Renfield.
Ah, the Victoria incident, Renfield thought. It hadn’t mattered that most of the salient points had been kept out of the final debriefs, for those Operatives who had been there the one time Fraser almost went rogue, the nastiness of that situation still smarted.
"Once our man Rankin was on the move, he worked his hardest to turn a nice profit out of it. Yesterday morning," Vecchio said, picking up his pen, "the Agency received an encrypted email in which Warfield offered to sell us Valhalla back for a cool $100 million. Not quite bargain price, but then, Warfield has to be aware of how fast the clock is running. First of all, he doesn’t have all of it. Also, let’s say that it’ll take him about a month to two months to crack it without corrupting the data itself. By that time, Valhalla would be, well, not exactly worthless, but not a hot item either."
"So he sells it back to us. OK." Renfield stared out into space until he was able to fit all the pieces. "But the Agency won't buy it back."
Vecchio's face would have been comical had this been another kind of conversation. "The Agency could pay many times that amount without having to tap outside its liquid assets. But the Agency does not agree with doing this kind of backdoor transaction with scum such as Warfield."
Renfield raised an eyebrow. "I could almost say that’s understandable."
"In any case," Vecchio said as he straightened his tie, "why buy it when we can steal it back?"
