First South of Nowhere story. Reviews would be fantastic. thanks.
I dont own SoN.
I checked around if I could see anything.
Nothing.
This was fucking sketchy as hell.
I ran towards a pipe that hung low from a nearby wall.
"Mph!" I took a huge leap and clung onto it.
I quickly looked to my right.
About ten feet away was a brick wall that lead into an abandoned ally.
"Who's there?" My eyes scanned the whole perimeter.
I let go of the pipe and landed on the wet ground.
I quickly ran behind a barrel that was standing near the wall.
Crouching, I took out my small gun from its holster.
I heard someone run right behind me so I quickly chase after them.
"Argh!" Out of nowhere, a body came toward me, jumping off a pipe.
I smile, then kick them straight in the stomach.
"Ugh." They fall unto the ground with a huge thud.
I run over, looking down on them, hearing them in small pain.
I take my gun and shoot them in the crotch area.
"Ow!" Right then, lights came on.
"I win! Again!" I look down and see the guy lying on the ground, still hearing them agonizing.
"Oh Aiden, get your ass up." He looks up at me, glaring. I couldn't help but giggle.
"Ash that fucking hurt!" He grabs his junk as he staggers to get up.
I look at my nails, picking the dirt that got underneath them.
"Come on Aid. First of all, it was a pellet gun, second, you know that if you keep using that old trick over and over again, your ass is going down."
He shakes his shaggy dark hair, and wipes dirt off.
"One day I promise it will work Ash." I laugh at him.
"Right, and when that happens Ill run on the beach like a Bay Watch chick ha."
Aiden's face lit up.
"I dare you to do it!" I laugh again and started walking out of the training center.
"Maybe, if your shitty moves work." Aiden follows me.
"I guarantee they will Ash, and when they do" I look at him, "many innocent eyes will look at your body like a fucking god." I roll my eyes.
"Whatever." We put our guns on a black table and take off the gear we wore.
Aiden Dennison is a tall, evenly tan, and muscle built guy; 24 years old. He had green eyes and was six foot two. I on the other hand am much smaller.
I carry the name Ashley Davies; 23 years old. I'm also evenly tan, brunette red hair, hazel brown eyes, and five foot seven. With all the workouts and training I do for my job, I enquire a hell of a good body.
Conceited moment.
As my job, I am pretty much what you could call a spy. But that name is too cliché. I work as a protective detail agent. My job is that I am assigned a certain mission with a specific person to watch over. It is my duty to provide them with much safety on low coverage.
Aiden is my partner. For work purposes only. As attractive as he is, I have no interest. Simply because he's like a brother to me, and I'm attracted to only females.
Yes I'm gay.
So anyways as I was saying.
We left the training area to go visit our commanders, Michael Santos and Kelly Martin. They were head of our rank, which was rank 2. One more level up and Aiden and I would be on the top. I've always hoped for that goal. They also gave us our missions.
Aiden's pager started beeping on our way to our rooms.
"Dennison here." We stop walking.
"Yes Mr. Michael, we will be there soon." I look at him confused.
"Boss wants to see us Ash." I roll my eyes and sigh.
"The hell, I thought we were going to get our vacations after that trip we just came back from?" Aiden shrugs his shoulders and walks back. I follow.
"I don't know. I guess it's mandatory." I was really looking forward into going home, but it was not happening.
We walk into the conference room for rank 2. Seated already were Michael and Kelly. Two files of vanilla paper were already in front of two empty chairs.
Damn, it is another mission.
I pull out the chair and slouch in it.
"Why it's so great seeing your smiling face Ms. Davies." Michael smiles over at me. He was about six foot one and short dark hair, deep brown eyes.
"Uh huh. I was hoping to go home Michael. What the hell is this?" I toss the file over to him.
"Ash, cool it!" Aiden looks at me, wondering what I'm doing.
"No, it's okay Aiden." Michael smiles still and straightens his tie.
"Kelly, would you like to explain to our top agents what we are dealing with here?" I know he's trying to soften us up by telling how well we are. It is true but it's not going anywhere.
"Ashley, you may want to listen in on this, cause this mission can get what both you and Aiden want, mainly you though." I stay slouched but my attention was a bit more focused.
"Go on?" I rest my cheek ony cheek on my left hand that was balled into a fist, looking at Kelly. She, on the other hand, is in her late thirties, five ten and light brown hair with blue eyes.
"With your performances and status' on your past missions equaling a superb completion, this one can get you both on rank 1." Both mine and Aiden's eyes lit up.
"What!" We were both at the edge of our seats.
"I thought you might be interested," Michael says smiling. He hands back the file I tossed to me.
"Open up to the first page please." Kelly says, directing us.
I open it and see a picture of a family of four. A dark haired man probably in his mid forties, a blonde haired lady in her early forties, a curly short haired blonde guy in his mid twenties, and a straight haired girl, around eighteen maybe, were in a family pose.
"What you see is the Carlin family, Secretary of Defenses family, Arthur Carlin." Kelly says.
Oh shit. No wonder this could rank us number 1.
"The Sec Defs second to main office has been broken into a week ago by Romanian accomplice. Vladmir Polena is head of this break in. He will stop at nothing to get a hold of the sec def so that the new nuclear machine he's making in Russia will work properly with correct knowledge."
"Ashley, your job is to protect his daughter." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I looked at the family photo again. Their daughter looked pretty cute but too young, according to the picture.
I raised my hand like a little school girl.
"Uh, yes, Ashley?" Michael asked.
"I won't mind doing this, but how am I going to protect her? Normally, I had missions that dealt with me and Aiden being in disguise around the specific person. She seems to be social, according to her records listed."
"Well its simple," Kelly started out saying, "she will know of you and you will be involved with her both social life and non social life." My jaw dropped.
"So I'm technically living with this chick?" Kelly and Michael looked at each other smiling, and then back to me and Aiden, who sat quiet through all this, ass.
"Not technically, literally. The Carlin's home, which is located in Beverly Hills, is quite big and both you and Aiden would live there until the situation is over."
"Well this is different.." Aiden had a grin on his face. This was going to be difficult, even though it seemed pretty laid back.
"Wait!" Aiden raised his hand quickly.
"If Ashley's mission is with the daughter, who am I focusing on?" Kelly stepped in.
"You're helping her, like always, but also, you will be in charge of security around the house, any back up calls if needed, and so on. Plus, there is a file in the house that Arthur Carlin needs, and we need to make sure it's secure."
"Oh." Aiden replied. "That's not too bad. So, shall we accept this fully Ash?" I looked at Aiden, then at Kelly and Michael.
"Yeah, we got this."
"Excellent." Kelly smiles. She gets up from her seat.
"Follow me, and take the files with you."
Aiden and I both got up and followed her. We went into the preparation room where we get our shit that we would need for the mission. All of the stuff was luckily packed up in duffel bags.
"Their daughter will already know what is going on, so you won't be alarming her in any way." I nodded my head as I looked through the bags.
"Looks like we have upgrades Aid." I say while looking at a new silver mini gun.
"Fuck yes we do!" He says excitedly as he holds a wired radio device. His face expression looked like it was off of a little kid getting some cool shit for Christmas.
I laugh and put the things away and pull the bags onto my shoulder and hands. We finally walk into a landing dock where we go to our cars.
"Before we depart, there are some things you must do, so listen carefully." We step into an elevator.
"Ashley, you will be attending the girl's same classes. You must make her comfortable, be friends with her or something. Protect her at all cost, and get to know her friends and acquaintances. Go to all social events with her and keep an eye on her." I just nod my head, filling in information.
"Arthur will be coming in and out of the house. He knows of your presence also, but do not bother him if he seems busy. He is the Secretary of Defense so you must treat him with authority. His wife is a cook so her time will be in the kitchen. The son doesn't live there anymore but he is well protected so don't mind about his protection, just the daughter mainly.
"Aiden, you will be attending different classes but near their classes. You must do the same but not as attached like Ashley since you are also to be focused on that file. Make sure you and Ashley keep in touch at all times." Aiden nodded his head.
"Got it chief."
"I mean it Aiden, about the file." Kelly had a serious look upon her face.
"We need to find that file and the agency counts on you two to find it. Be prepared because you will start this tomorrow. All the addresses you need will be in your vehicles GPS."
The elevator finally reached our destination. One question lingered in my head though as Aiden and I got out.
"Kelly, you want us to pretty much fit in with this girl, correct?" Kelly nodded her head.
"Well, our clothes are at our houses, apart and far away from each other. How are we able to fit in with our gear clothes?" Kelly smiled at us.
"I thought you'd ask." She points to our bags. "First zipper pocket. It's on us. And lastly, be safe. We will be keeping watch and in touch." With that the doors closed.
Aiden and I both opened the zipper pocket. Inside each of ours was a credit card.
"Oh my god Aiden. It's like Christmas came early." I said staring in awe at the plastic card.
"Time for some fucking shopping!" Aiden exclaims as we walk to our cars in the parking garage.
Aiden drove a dark silver 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10. It was a pretty fast ass car. As for me, I drove a black 2010 Mercedes-Benz SL. It was my baby.
As I got in, I put in my keys and started it. The engine roared to life. As I pull out of the parking space, I see Aiden right behind me in his car.
I tap the touch screen buttons on my dashboard and call Aiden's car.
"What's up Ash?"
"Do you want to hit up at the mall before it closes? We need a shitload of new clothes." I pull up against the wall keypad and dial the pass code.
"Sure. Want me to follow?" I smile.
"If you can keep up." I hear him laugh and look at the rearview mirror. We drive out of the building, in the Los Angeles night sky.
Slowly, we both drive up at the red light, next to each other.
"Which mall?"
"Westside Pavilion." I reply.
"I'll see your slow ass there."
"Not a chance bitch!" As the light turned green I stepped on the gas.
Both of our cars roared through the night.
