Maya's POV:

My name is Maya Hart, I'm twenty-six years old, and I work for Avalon: The Secret Service. Avalon is a government funded secret service agency that fights against terrorists and basically saves everyone, although that sounds super dangerous and scary it's okay. I have my three best friends working with me and I will give you a proper introduction. Riley and Josh Mathews, or as everyone in the agency calls them, them the R.I.P twins, they got that name for taking out the most assassins in all of the agency. They never go on a mission without each other. I'm in love with my best friend's brother, and I know how typical that sounds but, it's complicated he is the top agent in all of Avalon, and he's won that title two years in a row now, and I'm just me. Riley being my best friend, supports my deep love for Josh and encourages me to tell him my feelings but it's just never come up. Next, we've got Lucas Friar the moral compass of the group, and Riley's boyfriend. They've been happily dating for the past three years, with Josh's permission of course, but occasionally he throws in his scary twin brother stuff to scare Lucas, you know, just to keep it interesting. Together we are the fearsome foursome since the first day of kindergarden up until now.

On a kill mission in Germany

Riley and I watch Kurz, the crime-lord of Germany, through our binoculars from behind the restaurants wall, where he's having a private trade with, Todorov the crime-lord of Bulgaria. He slides a weapons case across the table for Todorov to examine.

" Riley that's the nuclear weapons case that we were tracking earlier." I whisper to her.

" I know, I see it too." She whispers back. " I'll tell the boys so they can plan a strategy for the attack. They've only got a few minutes left, where are they?"

I turn on my ear piece. " Guys what are doing, waiting for christmas? Kurz and Todorov are not going to be there for much longer!"

" I know we're working on it." Lucas says through the ear piece.

" Working on what? All you need is a simple plan it's two against two." I snap.

" Two against two, huh?" Josh growls. " Are you forgetting about the their security team?"

" Riley and I will take care of the security team you worry about them, you've got three minutes before they leave, good luck. "

" Ok, thanks we got a plan." Josh says.

" Hey, Josh?" I ask.

" Yeah?" He answers.

" Be careful." I whisper.

" I promise." He says. " We got to go, we'll be fine."

He turns off his ear piece and goes off line, I stare off wondering about all the things that could go wrong about me losing Josh forever.

" Maya!" Riley taps me, bringing me back to reality. " They're going in. We got to go take out security."

" Ok let's go." I say pulling my gun out my pocket.

" Let's do this." She smiles and loads her gun.

We run behind the back of the restaurant to the front door were we find three guards. Riley shoots them both without missing one, considering she is an elite sniper, and I am better in head to head combat. I let her drag the bodies to the side of the door. She moves aside for me to kick down the door, and I do. With one big slam the door falls to the ground. Kurz and Todorov both look up at me then Riley. I see Josh sneak up behind Kurz, and just as Kurz is about to pull out his gun, Riley yells.

" Now Josh!"

And just like that gun shots started going off and I run towards Todorov. While he is about to grab the weapons case I tackle him and stomp on his throat. I pull out my gun and snap him in the back of the neck, I don't want to kill him, we might need him for interrogation. He's unconscious so drag him over to the corner and go to help the rest of the team.

Lucas and Josh are fighting of Kurz and Riley is decoding the weapons case. Josh is throwing punches and Lucas is kicking him from behind. I charge at Kurz and climb onto his shoulders knocking him down. He easily pulls my legs around and lifts me up only to slam me on the table. A burning pain shoots up and down my spine and I soon realize that the windows that the boys broke to get in the restaurant shattered onto the tables, and that burning pain that I felt, was glass going into my back. As I stand up I could feel the blood gushing down my back. Kurz puts his hands around my neck and slams me back down on the table, he pulls the gun out of my hands and turns around to Josh and Lucas. Just as he is about to reload and pull the trigger and shoot Josh in the head, I jump pushing Josh down onto the flooring making him miss the bullet. The only problem was Josh missed the bullet and I didn't. I fall to the floor. Lucas takes one last punch at Kurz and then he falls unconscious.

" Maya!" Josh screams. " Maya, listen to don't you dare close your eyes, look at me!"

" Don't look sad." I whisper to him with a voice so faint he could barely hear me, while everything goes blurry and blood starts spilling out of my mouth. " We got him, we got the bad guy, don't worry about me."

" Maya?" He yells. " Maya, don't close your eyes, look at me, look at my eyes."

I chuckle. " They're so blue."

" Maya, stay with us." Riley screams. But it's too late the world has gone black.
