Scorpio Page #7

Synopsis: Cross is an old hand at the CIA, in charge of assassinating high-ranking foreign personalities who are an obstacle to the policies of the USA. He often teams up with Frenchman Jean Laurier, alias "Scorpio", a gifted free-lance operative. One day, the CIA orders Scorpio to eliminate Cross -- and leaves him no choice but to obey. Scorpio is cold-blooded and very systematic; however, as a veteran agent, Cross knows many tricks. He can also rely upon a network of unusual personal contacts, some dating back to the troubled years preceding WWII. A lethal game of hide-and-seek is programmed, but what are the true motives of every single player?

to carry your sins for you.

I was finished with you, Cross.

I was going home tomorrow... With her.

She was my way out.

I'm sorry about the girl. Truly sorry.

But I had no part of her plans.

She was a Czech courier, and very good.

A lot of hard work went

into collecting this.

Go ahead, Scorpio. It should be easy.

You'd be doing both of us a favor,

and there's an outside chance

they might let you live.

Two for one.

There's a room just down the hall

from McLeod's office,

where grown men play a game.

It's a bit like Monopoly,

only more people get hurt.

There's no good... And no bad.

Jesus.

The object is not to win,

but not to lose,

and the only rule is to stay in the game.
