Two years after Micheals death.
The tunnels were dark and rats ran about her feet as she moved along them. Jamie had started this mission three days back and all the time she felt as though she was been watched. She shook off the feeling as she normally did. Nearly every mission she had gone on since Michael had died she had felt as though she was being watched over. She soothed herself as she thought. It's ok it's only his spirit. She continued on down through the tunnels taking this turn and that one. She suddenly heard a noise and stopped dead in her tracks as she turned to see where it came from. She was wearing a black tight to body suit which kept her hidden in dark places. She glanced around her. Nothing. She relaxed some scolding herself as she whispered "God snap out of it Jamie". Since Micheal had died she found she was more nervous on missions due to been alone. She had always depended on Micheal as some sort of back up. She took a deep breath and began moving the way she was supposed to. The noise again and she turned spotting a shadow duck out of sight. A lump formed in her throat. Had she seen a ghost. She blinked some as she waited drawing her weapon silently. Now that she had stopped moving she was practicaly invisable. She watched and the shadow came back into veiw. She waited till the figure was close enough for her too shoot without missing and then she said in a low tone. "Remain where you stand or i will shoot and believe me i wont miss!!" The figure stopped as told briefly as it heard the cold tone in her voice. She swore the shadow looked familier but no ghost was going to get her killed. She held her weapon upon the shadow as it began moving toward her again. "I Said stay where you are!!" She yelled once more as she began stepping back some as it moved upon her, her hands shaking as each part of the shadows body came into sight.
"Jamie lower your weapon, you know its me" Said a familier voice.
"No, this isnt possible..." She mummbled as she realized it was him she was seeing.
"I never thought this day would come, when your father would allow me to show myself to you again" said the voice. Everything struck home as she shook her head again as her emotion showed again for the first time in a year. She had cried nearly all the first year and only allowed close friends near her. The last year after getting back to work, she had shut off all emotion or any connections with possible friends.
"I'm sorry i kept it from you this long, your father wished it... he said it would be better for this mission" Said Micheal as he stepped fully into veiw so she could see him clearly.
"Two years!!" She suddenly screamed "I'ts been two years Iv'e been believing your dead and and..." She suddenly closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. Now she could understand why all her pleas to take on a new Agent to be 006 had been ignored. Michael had never been dead just lurking in the shadows. She still had her weapon trained on Michael as he approached lowering her hand with the weapon as he placed his arms around her.
"I have been waiting for this for two years" He said gently as he slowly lent in and gently kissed her forhead. At first as he held her, her stance was cold but soon she relaxed and embraced him herself as tears flowed down her face.
"Michael i don't understand. Why this mission?..." She asked looking up into the big brown eyes she always remembered.
"Because any other ones he placed you on were based on people who knew me... we couldnt let your missions be comprimised by them using me to get you trapped, it was for your safety" He replied in a soft tone as he looked down on her. She moved back from him now to get a better look at him. She was still confused how he had survived an explosion and a cliff fall. Then she sighed some as she thought back to her own missions. It was possible, it truely was, he could of survived. She still couldnt understand why her father had left her suffer these years. As she had suffered. Loosing Micheal had been the deepest hurt she could of enjured. Now she had him back and she guessed thats all that mattered. The noise from their confrontation had been heard without their realisation as two men moved into the tunnels. The only alert her and Micheal had was the sound of a bullet as it richoceted of the tunnel walls. Both cried out "Shit!" In unison.
"Jamie get down!" Yelled Micheal as he and she both ducked. She hadnt noticed before but Micheal was in his gear for a mission. She smiled and held her weapon waiting the guards to come upon them more. Jamie suddenly fired off a round as did Micheal as both bullets hit there target as the two guards grunted and toppled silently.
"Hope they didnt alert anyone inside" Spoke Jamie carefully as glanced back to Micheal who nodded in reply.
"Come on lets get inside before more come" Said Micheal as he moved ahead of her and Jamie followed.
