From the mud-walled cabin behind the mountain

The agent watched through binoculars,  a pair of men talking within a poorly built hovel on the outskirts of Córdoba, Argentina.

One, an older man, of Latin origins held his hat in his hands, groveling to a white man.

He was hawkish in his features, and his posture military-like.

.





The farm where he was first hired out,

Illya scrambled through the dense growth of the jungle in search of his partner. He’d gathered the information needed to prove who that hawk-faced man was while the Russian posed as a worker on the man’s plantation.

And once Kuryakin discovered his true identity, he fled with the news.

.

It became personal when it did.

His memories of long ago were again triggered by it. A concentration camp...the trainloads of people who came but never left alive.  The children he’d tried to save, and the friend he’d lost.  Irina... *

It made his breath quicken, and his heart pound as he began to run.

.

That's him on the verandah, drinking rum with a man who might be a Nazi,

“Illya, over here,”Solo called. “What’s wrong?”

“That man, kill him.”

“Why?”

“He is a murderer of thousands,” Illya gasped.

“How do you know?”

“I know...”

 Napoleon Solo raised his carbine, drawing a bead.

“Illya I can’t...”

“Then I will.” He grabbed the gun and fired.

 It was done...

I expect he would do it. Who are these men, really?

The one IK assassinated or the guys themselves. Not sure who you're asking about.

The man he killed was a particularly cruel guard he remembered from the time he spent as a child in the concentration/death camp in Kiev.

And Napoleon not being able to just kill in cold blood, I think fit his personality, where as Illya has that cold-blooded streak in him. It was illustrated in subtle ways in a few episodes on the show...

Thanks for commenting! Seems like there's not too many of us around lately...

I was asking the question about the MFU. I can understand Illya needing to close another chapter in his life's book, and that was evident. The drabble is a taut little package and says quite a lot.

Chuckle, got ya now. They are our heros...our angels with tarnished wings. Not perfect but always on the side of right. Making some mistakes and tough decisions along the way. How does that sum them up? :D

Very good, a lot of story in few words. I'm glad Illya managed to 'remove' one of he demons.

Thanks! Still lots more demons out there. (if they were all gone there'd be no more stories. hee hee)
