Again I am really sorry its taking me along time to update and after this semester ends I will try harder.
Chapter 2
"And where was Agent Krieger when you were blowing up the building? Why did she not stop you from loosing yet another contract?" She asks sitting down in her chair, across from Archer. Archer thinks for a second while swirling his drink. "Running from the explosion?" He says with a straight face as Malory covers her face with her hand. "How many more agents is ISIS going to lose before you get professional?" She asks as he finishes his drink then places his cup on her desk. "I don't know why I'm getting blamed for other agents not being good at their job, but it's not my fault." He says standing up while glaring at her with attitude as she glares back at him with the same look.
"It's your fault when you give away their positions to your hussies' or blow up buildings with people still in them!" She yells back at him as Pam and Cheryl peak in her office from around the door frame. "She is really riding Mr. Archer today." Cheryl says as they both pull back from the frame. "Well he did blow up a building." Pam says with a shrug as Archer walks past them and shoves Cyril with his shoulder. "Hey, watch where you're going!" He yells at him as Archer turns around with a gun in his hand and puts it under Cyril's chin. "I will end you." He says as Cyril raises his hands in defense and backs away from Archer in fear. Archer glares at all three of them then puts his gun away and walks back into Danielle's office.
"So what do you think she's yelling about this time?" Ray asks leaning against the door frame as me and Lana look up at him from my desk. "He did blow up a building." Lana says as I nod my head, "With me still in it." I say, putting my feet up on the desk next to Lana's. "And he did lose another contract." She says while putting her hands behind her head. "So, basically he did what he always does?" Ray asks as me and Lana look at each other then nod our heads while looking back at him. "Yep!" Lana says bluntly as I shrug in defeat as I pick up my hand-held game. "I can't believe his mother still lets him work here." Ray says glancing out the door at Malory's office then see's Archer walking this way. "Dukes! Here he comes!" He says, making him and Lana scatter out of my office and into her's as I look up from my game confused.
I look back at my game, shrugging it off as he walks back into my office and slams the door shut making a picture fall off the wall. "Can you believe mother?! Blaming me for field agents getting killed on missions, which have nothing to do with me!" He yells while pacing back and forth in front of my desk as I take a deep breath, still staring at my game. "Just because they can't keep their cover, does not mean it's my fault just because I'm the greatest spy in the world." He says while throwing his hands up in the air angry. I look up at him to see if he was does ranting about his mother, which he wasn't. "No offense." He says looking over at me for the last part of the sentence as I just shrug my shoulders. "Whatever, doesn't bother me." I says looking back at my game as he stands there for a few minutes then sites across from me, grabbing the game.
"You did blow up a building with me still in it." I say with sarcasm while looking up at him from the game making him look up at me with a glare. "I said Danger Zone." He says stating the obvious making me glare at him before ripping the game out of his hand and shoving it back in my desk. "Nobody told you to follow me into the building." He says standing up while pulling his jacket down to straighten it. "I was assigned with you dumbass!" I yell back at him while glaring harder at him as I stand from my chair while placing my hands on my desk. "I wasn't told that." Archer says walking out of my office with me following behind him. "I was in the helicopter with you! Going to the same place!" I yell at him, following him into his mother's office. He pours himself another drink as I lean against the wall next to him, watching him. "Yeah." He says taking a drink from the glass while looking up at me. "I hate you." I say walking out of his mother's office and into Lana's office. "Why is he such a dumbass?" I say, more as a statement and less as a question while take a seat next to Ray in front of her desk.
"All that alcohol killed his brain cells." Ray says while putting one of his legs over the other one. "Every time he gets jumped after he gives away his identity." Lana says typing with one had on the computer, not looking over at them. "I'm surprised he's still alive, seeing how many enemies' he has, you would think they would put a hit out on him so he would stop showing up." I say while leaning to the side of the chair and place my arm on Ray's knee making him place his hand on top of mine and start to tap his fingers on it. "I'm surprised you haven't placed a hit on him." Ray says while chuckling as he looks over at Lana who glances back at him but doesn't say anything to him.
We both knew she would love to get back at Archer for cheating on her and treating her like trash when they dated and I hated him for that so that's why I never thought of hooking up with him, that and I felt guilty for having a crush on him. "Mama, don't even worry about it because you know we both love you for your independence of a women…." Ray starts to say till I cut him off mid sentence. "And your giant cans." I bluntly say making her grab her mug of pens that was sitting on her desk and throws the entire thing it at me, making pens fly into the air as both Ray and I hold up our arms to protect our faces.
"Out now!" Lana says to me while pointing at her door with a deadly glare making me stand up from my seat and walk out of her office with a pout while I rubbed my face. "It was a compliment! At least I didn't mention her giant man hands." I say out loud to no one in particular as I look over at Archer who was walking out of his mother's office and stares back at me from across the room. "God I hate you." I mumble under my breathe with a sad look on my face as I walk into my office to gather my things then walk over to the elevator to go home. I can only stay so long in ISIS at one time before I lose my mind and say something stupid, which I obviously just did with Lana, so if I don't leave now this day is going to get worse.
The next day was worse than yesterday, Lana wasn't talking to me because of my comment yesterday which meant Ray couldn't talk to me, rather he wasn't allowed to because he thought Lana was scarier then I was and did not want to get on her bad side. Then Cheryll or whatever the fuck her name was this week spilt hot coffee on me, burning my open chest, which was now red and very painful. I walk into my office and throw my bag in the corner, knocking over a lamp onto the ground making it break. I clench my hands in anger and yell as I walk over to it to start picking p the pieces and put them in the trash. "How could this day get any worse?" I say out loud then yelp when I cut my hand on one of the broken pieces of lamp.
"What is all the yelling in here? My hang over does not need it." Archer says as he walks into my office then looks over at me standing up from the corner holding my hand. "Nice butterfingers." he says the same time he pulls out a tissue from his pocket then grabs my hand and presses it to my palm to stop the bleeding. I look up at me confused, but I was so angry and upset it came out as pathetic making me drop my gaze back to my hand. "Come on lets go get this cleaned before it drips onto the carpet and attracts ants." He says while grabbing my hand then pulls me out of my office towards the women's bathroom where he pushes the door open and just walks right in like it was any other room. We walk over to the sink where he turns the water on and places my hand under the running water to wash away the blood.
"Bad day huh?" He finally asks after some time of silence making me nod my head as I watch the water turn red before I pull out a medical wrap from my pocket. Always be prepared for anything when you are working full time at ISIS with these people. Archer turns the water off while I grab some paper towels and dry my hand off before I start to unwrap the medical bandage with my good hand. He takes the wrap from me then grabs my bad hand to wrap it up. I look up at him more confused that he was being nice to me and helping me without making a joke about it.
He looks up at me and see's my confused look then stops wrapping my hand. "What?" he says as I shrug while shaking my head at the time before looking down at my hand in between his rough ones. "Just confused on why you're being so nice to me that's all." I say, scratching the back of my head with my good hand making him just stare at me for a minute then goes back to wrapping up my hand. "I just know what it's like to have the entire office hate you all at once." Archer says making me frown as he finishes up my hand then lets it go. "Sorry, we don't treat right all the time." I say looking up at him as he shrugs his shoulders to brush it off. "It's no big deal, I'm use to it I guess." He says while looking down at me, pretending it didn't bother him, but we knew that he was hurt deep down.
Having to walk around the office everyday with a mother that treated him like dirt and co-workers who talked shit about him every hour they could, I included. I felt more guilty by the minute we stood in silence that I reach up and hug him tightly, I didn't really know what else to do at this moment, but just standing here wasn't helping. I felt him slowly hug me back finally as we stood there for a few more minutes till I pull back and look up at him while my arms were still on his shoulders. I stare up entire his bright blue eyes as he stares back into my green eyes then my day got worse. He leans down and presses his lips against mine making me lean into his chest till I felt him start to push me into the stall behind us and lock the metal door. Yep, bad day just because a whole lot worse that I would never be able to fix.
