Angel

Angel stared desolately out the window of the airplane as she thought about her last mission.

Angel had worked for Interpol for the last 8 years and now at the age of 25, the hardiness of life had permanently set itself in the sombre glint of her eyes and a face could produce no more than a ghost of the smile she once possessed. First taken in when she was 17, she'd been quickly pulled into a brutal and terrifyingly dangerous world where she'd had to grow up overnight. She was a kick ass agent, involved in several drug centered operations across the world. However even the best agents make mistakes…

Angel winced as she thought back to the catastrophe that had been her last mission.

Quickly rising to a powerful position within the organisation, she had been given charge of Operation Lionfish, leading a team that were targeting the maritime trafficking of drugs and illicit firearms across Central America and the Caribbean. The information she had received was that there were nearly 30 tonnes of cocaine, heroin and marijuana with an estimated value of USD 822 million. But she'd been led straight into a trap. She'd been set up by the informer and they'd walked straight into a cross fire in Puerto Rico. How could she have been this careless? She should have known immediately when the entire operation had gone flawlessly, without a hitch. It was just too easy. How could there have been so few guards at the drug bases and the arrests were completely unopposed. That should have set off alarm bells instantly. If only she hadn't been so distracted by their recent argument then half her team would still be alive.

She shuddered again and tried to move her thoughts away from the devastating mission to what lay ahead.

The clouds were grey as she landed in Port Angeles. The hour flight from Seattle had felt like a minute as her dreaded destination drew nearer. She reached up and pulled her handbag down from the compartment above her head, before taking a deep breath and stepping down onto the wet tarmac.

Rain. Typical.

Well she guessed that she better get used to it. She would have to spend the next 12 months that she was suspended here. She pulled her hood up to hide from the rain and anyone who may recognize her; not that there was much chance of that considering it was 8 years since she'd last been here and there was noone to . Grabbing her holdall and clenching her fists, she got into a cab to make the long journey to La Push.
