Prologue

Being part of the IMF is a very huge responsibility for me. Why? Being part of a Spy Agent is quite hard especially when you're the youngest of their group. The hardest part is keeping secrets from other people you love in order for them not to get in danger because of my job. People always judge you because of our age is not suitable enough to join in. However, I prove them wrong that I'm qualified enough to fit in this job... even if it risk my life for the sake of succeeding the mission and save peoples lives.

The very challenging part after doing the mission, all of us are going to separate our ways not to get in radar from them... rather... doing another job that could make your life busy while waiting for them to call you again for another mission. Life is full of challenge especially you didn't contact your dearest someone, like father for instance. The father should always be there for his daughter but he disappeared in 2 years now.

My name is Novilene Marie Serenity Cruz, one of the elite Agents in IMF, the first female youngest Agent, master in disguise and human lie detector. This is how my story begin.

She's The One

A man in his mid 40's staring down at the picture of a young woman hugging the teddy bear with a huge smile on her face. He smiled and at the back of the picture has a message letter coming from her. However, he didn't notice a young man staring at him curiously and wondering what makes him smile.

I've finally found my cuddly teddy bear before going back to work reality. I know that you're wondering why I'm coloring my hair into light brown hair... I decided to color it and Phoebe helped me to do my hair.

I miss you, dad, and it's been 2 years that we haven't seen each other. We haven't contact each other after the funeral of mom... dad, I'm always here for you if you need me.

To be honest? I don't even know why you didn't reply all my letters, emails or phone calls no matter how much I've tried to understand you...

There are a lot of questions that I need answers but it ends up in a blank like a void. I've been keeping myself busy rather than moping around thinking of you. Have I done wrong? Please talk to me dad.

Your daughter,

Novilene

He sighs quietly and knowing his daughter is right that it's been 2 years that he didn't visit his daughter. Jason Gideon, a professor in BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) and the father of Novilene Cruz. His daughter is one of the youngest female Detective and Captain in London Metropolitan Police. Gideon was very proud of his daughter that she got a promotion just like her stepbrother, Ethan Hunt.

He always miss his daughter everyday and thankful that Novilene is kind, caring and understanding person. She always care to the other people before herself and Gideon admire her courage.

"Gideon?" He looked up to see one of the Agent of BAU, Dr. Spencer Reid. "I notice that you smile when you receive a letter from someone."

"I miss someone very special to me." Gideon spoke and Reid looked confused wondering who this person is. "I have a daughter and I was married before."

Reid was surprised that this man was married and have a daughter before. He wondered why Gideon didn't mention to anyone that he has a daughter and ex-wife.

"What happened?" Reid asked curiously and Gideon hand over another picture of his daughter wearing a white dress.

"Maria, my ex-wife and I have a lot of problem... our love was change and decided to get divorced." He sighs sadly when Maria fell in love with someone else. "She was okay if I spend time with my daughter, Novilene."

"How old is she?" He admired the beauty of Gideon's daughter and noticed they have the same eye color, dark brown. "You have the same eyes."

"She's 22 years old and Angelique would be too as well." He sighs sadly remembering his other daughter Angelique. "Angelique and Novilene are twins but Angelique died when she was born after Novilene came out."

"I'm sorry for your loss, Gideon." He smiled in sympathy and stared at him in disbelief. "Novilene is 22 years old? She's younger than me by a year then."

"That's right, her birthday is on December 25." He spoke in a proud tone and smiled. "Novilene became a Captain from London Metropolitan Police in England for 3 years now. She showed to everyone that she should be respected despite her age is different from them."

"Wow." He shakes his head and staring at the picture. Reid couldn't believe that this woman became a Captain from London Metropolitan Police at the very young age but he can't help but admire her ambitions. "Have you seen her often?"

"No, the last time I saw her was during her graduation day and the death of Maria." He sighs deeply and placing the picture down. "I did lose contact with her but she manages to send me pictures of herself going on an adventure... I always ask myself how did she manage to find me."

She's The One

A 22-year-old light brown haired woman smile while contacting someone on the phone. She's taking a break from packing all her stuff up since she had a day off while her one of her best friend, Steve Dobrev is working before he's going back to Arizona to be with her wife, Phoebe Dobrev.

"The Professors are very proud that I'm one of the students who gets an A! Can you believe that, sis?" A 16-year-old boy spoke happily to his sister as she chuckled at his ramble.

"You deserve it for studying hard just like your brother, Ethan and I." The woman spoke and pushing her glasses up. "How do you like Caltech College so far, Alex?"

"How should I say this... a very challenge and trying to adjust the environment." Alex answered and thanking the waitress before leaving the shop. "How are the newcomers, Nov?"

"Everyone is terrified of me." Novilene chuckled nervously and wiping the sweat of her forehead. "They didn't expect a 22-year-old Captain could be their worst nightmare."

"Steve and Ethan taught you how to become a strong and independent person. Not giving any-"

"Language." She warned her baby brother and Alex cough slightly.

"Right... as I was saying, you deserve it for working too hard."

"Thanks, Alex." She wrinkles her nose feeling herself drench in sweat. "I need to finish up packing my things."

"That's fun." Alex spoke sarcastically and shaking his head slightly. "I need to eat my food now, love you, sis."

"Love you too, Alex. Call Ethan and your father sometimes as well okay?"

"I will sis." They hang up and Novilene sighs heavily.

Click!

Novilene looked up to see a blonde man wearing his black suit holding the black case. His blue eyes met her dark brown eyes and smiled widely at her.

"Hey, Novilene." The man greeted her and was about to give her a hug but stopped when he wrinkled his nose in disgust. "You need a shower, sister cause you stink."

"Sorry." She smiled sheepishly and rubbing her neck. "I was packing up all my things and Alex called me."

"Speaking of Alex, how is he?" He loosens up his tie a bit. "I miss that brat very much."

"He's fine and proud that the Professors are impressed by his Academics." Novilene spoke up in a proud tone and standing up. "I thought that you'll be home late because of you have hearing today."

"Speaking of the hearing." He sighs in relief and raising his hand in victory. "He's terrified of me."

"Why? What makes you so happy?" She raises her eyebrows at him as he smirked in wickedly.

"Well... this man thought that I'm dumb and assuming he'll win the case. I proved him wrong and he's already in jail." He removes his black coat and patting her head. "Have a shower and I'll cook dinner this time."

"Are you sure?" She removes her hair tie and glasses. "The last time you cook... you almost end up setting the kitchen on fire."

Steve cringed and smiled nervously knowing she's right. The last time he cooked, Steve almost burned the entire kitchen and luckily his wife, Phoebe Dobrev, was with him that time. He shivered at the thought of seeing Phoebe scary expression if he dares to cook again especially when she's pregnant.

"On a second thought... never mind." He laughs nervously and removing his tie. "Have you finish packing up?"

"No, I still have to pack up my books. Do you mind do it for me, please?" Her phone beep to see unknown caller. "I have to take the call."

"Sure." He shrugged and doesn't mind to do pack her books since he's a hopeless cooker.

"Thanks brother!" She waved and goes straight to the brother. "Cruz speaking, how may I help you?" Novilene spoke in calm tone but with the hint of serious.

"Is that your way to talk with your grandmother, apo (granddaughter)?" Novilene stared at her phone to see it is Maricar Cruz, her grandmother is calling her. She laughs nervously and rubbing her neck.

"Sorry Ma, I didn't know it was you. How are you?" She asked and grabbing her change of clothes.

Maricar Cruz is the grandmother of Novilene and Alex. She's a kind and brave woman who doesn't hesitate to step up facing her problems. Her first granddaughter, Novilene, treating her as her own daughter and Novilene calling her Ma or mama not grandmother or nanny. Novilene loves her grandmother deeply because it is Maricar who's taking care of her before.

"Everything is fine, everyone is asking when are you going back to the Philippines." Maricar is chopping the vegetables while calling her granddaughter. "It's been what? 3 years that you didn't visit. The only thing you visit was during Easter Holiday."

"Ma, I've been working a lot lately and saving money to process your visa." Novilene pointed out and leaning her wardrobe. "Processing your visa is quite expensive and thank goodness that Steve helps me to do the documents."

"Ah, speaking of Steve. How's the married couple? Do they have kids yet?"

"Not yet but Phoebe is 6 months pregnant. They'll be having a baby girl." She smiled hearing Maricar's laugh in delight. "How's everything going?"

"Same old, same old. Jay is busy with his bar exam." Maricar spoke in a proud tone making Novilene smile at her Uncle's achievement. "Are you still... contacting Jason?"

Novilene froze as she fiddling the hem of her t-shirt nervously. It's been two years that his biological father, Jason Gideon, stopped contacting her yet she often to sent pictures of herself going somewhere in her free time. She sighs heavily and biting her lips lightly.

"I did but it ends up in the voicemail... I did often to sent pictures when I'm off somewhere during my day off." Novilene explained and tearing up a bit. "Dad changed a lot... when mom died..."

"I know sweetie, your father doesn't stop loving Maria despite they got separated. Give him a time and I know it's a lot... please don't give up your father."

"I don't and I pray to God that I'm seeing him soon." She smiled then glance at the frame of herself and her father are hugging each other.

"Let me guess... your sixth sense is telling you that?" Maricar asked in amused tone knowing Novilene has the sixth sense of something good or bad is going to happen.

Maricar is always worried about her granddaughter because not only her sixth sense but she can be a human lie detector as well. She always prays for her safety including her other siblings and friends as well. Novilene joins a very dangerous job that could gain her few enemies because of her abilities.

"Yeah, listen to Ma... I have to take a shower cause I stink because of packing all my stuff before resigning my job." She chuckled and stared at the time. "You should probably get some rest as well."

"I will my dear and I love you."

"Love you too." Novilene ends up the call and decided to take a shower.

Novilene had a feeling that her life will change forever because of a certain someone. Her world will turn upside down when she receives a call from the FBI to seek help after her very last case before resigning London Metropolitan Police.
