Mayfield Gold let her head rest on the window of the Jeep. She had finally finished her third mission which had been based in the dry bushy forests of Italy.It had been successful; if only just.
Just then, something outside of the window caught her eye; a girl stnding in the middle of nowhere. Even though she was wearing faded clothes, she still stood out against the dull beige colours of the bushes. May leant forwards and yanked the emergency brake. The car came to a screeching halt, jolting the three people inside forwards. Ewart stuck his head round, angrily.
'You better have some good reason you did that, else you'll be spending the next month cleaning toilets.' The other agent, Bruce Norris, groaned as he woke from the lands of sleep.
'My head. My poor, poor head. It still hurts from when those thugs attacked me.' May elbowed him sharply as she clambered out of the car and randown the gulley. Bruce followed her, grumbling incoherently.
'What is it now?'
'Shut up and look,' May crouched behind a rancid - smelling oleander bush and pointed in the direction of the girl. Bruce shrugged.
'So? It's an Italian girl, standing in an Italian bushland. Who cares?'
The girl suddenly tensed as she tilted her head to one side, as if listening for something.Or someone May thought. She gave Bruce an incredulous look.
'A girl in the middle of nowhere??...' Bruce finally got it.
'Oh..' He sprung out and ran towards the girl, who spun immediatly, facing their way. Bruce and May reached her in seconds, both wondering why the girl hadn't run. With a quick movement, they both made to grab her arms. She flinched backwards, faster than they had thought possible. But, Bruce noticed, she wasn't wearing typical Italian clothes. Her combats, though stained, were Billabong, obviously purchased from a town. Her T-shirt was loose fitting and tattered.Her hair was black and her eyes a strange purple colour. They flickered to where the jeep was, and a flash of fear showed in them. But before she could react, the hypothermic dart had punctured her arm and she fell backwards. Mayfield caught her in the nickof time and she and Bruce pulled her to where the jeep was waiting. Ewart watched from the jeep as the two agentscarried the girl over. He wasn't happy. There shouldn't be any adults in this part of the country, let alone a girl.
Bruce was searching through the girl's pockets. There wasn't anything apart from a few coins and a pen with the words 'Intelligence is the minds power' engraved on it. t was written in a mixture of Italian and French.
'Ewart,what are we going to do with her?' Bruce lifted the edge of her shirt, examining her for wounds.
He probed her stomach gently and was rewarded with her wincing and stirring gently.
'Stop!' Mayfield yelled as she spotted a taller girl runningup the road ahead. The girl ad stopped at the sound of the jeep and in the exact movement as the first girl, she tilted her head and stared at thtem with amber-gold eyes.
May opened the door and darted her as she began to turn. Hell she thought What is it with Italian girls standing in the middle of nowhere?
