I am a big fan of spy movies and novels. I thought that while I write Losing Control, my other running story, I would let this one go and see where it takes me.

Summary: Bella is a spy. She is given the job of getting close to the Cullens who she has yet to see, or has she? This is so OOC, but it will be canon pairing, at some point, lol. AU as well. Though you will see the other characters have parts here. Jacob, Mike, Jessica, etc...they are all going to be here in some form. Enjoy!!!


The music shifted from a gentle waltz to a faster paced salsa. I sighed and sipped the champagne in my hand, the guy beside me was going on and on about his business. He was saying something about his home in Hawaii but I had stopped listening as soon as he said something about his money. I did not care about how much money he made, he was just a diversion for me. I even did the fake laugh here and there when he smiled, I had to appear interested. When the music shifted to a slow ballroom type I heard a soft crackle in my ear and an all clear from my team. I looked at the guy talking and very politely excused myself; I actually used the powder room excuse. I think getting away from the bore was the high light of my night. Sometimes you just can't get away from someone fast enough.

Once I was out of the main ball room and the people had thinned considerably I spoke softly, "Is the General here?"

I looked around as I pulled out my cell phone; it was about all that fit into the purse I was carrying. It was enough though. It made me look busy and no one questioned when they say someone talking to themselves if there was a cell phone in their hands. A young couple passed by me, I could see the woman was only pretending to be drunk and I frowned. I looked at the two of them as they stopped near me. I knew exactly what they were doing; I had done it many times.

I laughed softly and smiled, "Well I think that I will be going home alone tonight. It seems that all the best men are taken." I was of course making no sense to my team but they knew that if I was just rambling then there was something wrong.

"Yeah, I really should move, I think the couple here are looking for some alone time. How about I call you tomorrow and we see about getting me that date with Gene. I should have known coming here alone was not right."

I moved away from the couple and slipped the cell phone back into my purse. I was being followed and that meant I could not do my job. Being a spy is hard when someone is spying on you. I sighed softly as I heard my own team making fun of me as I weaved my way through the room, heading for the exit. I was not going to get to do my job so that meant I was not going to stick around. I hated anything that required me to stay all dressed up for long periods of time. I was stopped by the exit, apparently someone had stolen a necklace earlier and they wanted to check my bag. I frowned and handed them my small purse. When the guard looked through it, seeing only a cell phone and tube of lipstick he said something to his partner and I heard something about simple and classic. I had no idea what they were talking about. I turned a bit as they talked and my eyes locked with a pair of the most beautiful topaz eyes I had ever seen. That was not a normal eye color and it caught me off guard. Once I regained my composure I looked the rest of the face over. He was a beautiful man, handsome would not do him justice. I had seen a face like his once, in my art history class when I was in college. He was the perfect example of the human form.

He caught me staring and as I blushed slightly he gave me this half smile that almost killed me right there. He moved into the ballroom at that point and was gone. The guard had to tap me on the shoulder to get my attention. I took my purse and headed out of the building. Of course all I was thinking about were those eyes. I could have gotten lost in them for hours. The team had been rambling on and on in my ear about a boat party the next day that I was going to attend the following night. A spy's work was never done.

The sun came into my window, early like always. I grumbled as I rolled over, trying to ignore the fact that it was time to get out of bed. Long nights were starting to take a toll on me. My cell phone went off, scaring the hell out of me.

I grumbled a few more curse words and rolled over, answering it on like the sixth ring, "Hello." I sighed and fell back into bed when I heard Jacob's voice on the other end. He was my second in command and usually called to make sure I was up for the day. Secretly I knew he was in love with me but I kept business and pleasure entirely separate so we were just friends and it would stay that way.

"Jacob, I am up. I need to shower and get dressed. I will meet you in the office around ten. Yes, I promise I will be on time. When have you known me not too?" I closed my eyes and listened to him go on and on about something but I couldn't tell you what. I had learned a long time ago to tune out people.

"Ten, Jacob. Then we can discuss the Cullen involvement with the General. I think that to get the Cullens, I will need to get the General." I swear I could hold the phone away from my ear and still know what Jacob was saying, he repeated himself a lot.

"Yes, I know that we have no visuals on the Cullens. I think Mike and Jessica are still on that, call them. I am hanging up now Jacob." I was not lying either. I hung up on him and rolled out of bed, heading straight for my shower.

Within the hour I was in my X5, heading for my office. Anyone I had contact with in Seattle thought I was an antiques dealer and I had a small office in downtown Seattle. In reality I had been a spy for ten years and I did not call Seattle home. I didn't really call anywhere home. I pulled into my parking spot and frowned when I saw a familiar Land Rover parked on the street in front of the building. I ran a hand through my wavy brown hair and climbed out of my car, heading for the front door. As I stepped in I heard the familiar voice of Tanya and Angela. They were only there to pester Jacob, no two girls were more useless but they did have their roles to play in my little world. I heard giggling and I headed toward my office. Seated at my desk was Jacob and around him were the two harpies. I cleared my throat as I entered and they all straightened up, Jacob jumping to he is feet.

I laughed softly, "Good morning. Please tell me there is a reason you both are here, distracting Jacob from his job."

Tanya nodded and handed me a file, "Jessica sent this over for you. She said you would need it and of course I was smart this time and did not open it." I nodded a bit at her and slipped behind my desk and sat down. I motioned for them to leave; of course Jacob did not take the hint and sat down across from me.

"You think it is pictures of the Cullens?"

I nodded and opened the envelope slowly. I had never seen my marks but if the envelope had photos of them in it, then I could have changed my tactics.

I slipped a small pile of photos from the envelope and smiled, "Jessica and Mike are great at their jobs." I was looking at 7 of the most beautiful people in the world. When I got to the last photo I froze. It was the man from the night before. My mind raced as I read the back of the photo. His name was Edward Cullen and he was the only one not married in the group.

I looked at Jacob, "This one, he was at the party last night. You know what this means, don't you Jacob?" He looked at me, puzzled.

I smiled softly at him, "It means I don't need to work my way into the General's life. I can go straight for them. They are not hiding; we just didn't know what to look for."

I spent the rest of my morning studying the photos. Well that and mentally kicking myself for letting eyes and s smile get to me. They were after all attached to my mark and I was not one to mix business with pleasure. Though, I am sure if he asked I would have probably considered it.


Please ler me know what you think. Alerts are great, favorites are wonderful but the review make me all giggly.
