A/n- Sorry guys. I am a big fan of writing cliffhangers, so I am not going to tell you who was shot until the end. I hope you keep reading to find out, and if anyone is looking to beta, that would be nice.
Forty-Eight Hours Ago
As a spy, you always have someone behind you. Whether it be your government or a technically non-existent shadow government taking control of a hostile country, there is someone giving out missions and telling you who to work with to get the job done. People you don't like and people you felt like you could spend the rest of your life with. A trigger-happy ex-IRA explosives specialist. A trigger-happy American spy who decides that the best way to quit is to fake your own death. When it worked out, you have a new girlfriend and everyone leaves Dublin safely. When it doesn't several people die whenever he shows his face. But when you're burned, there is no one supporting you. But angry-as-hell ex-girlfriends and undead-ex-spies will still find that they want to work with you. Again.
When I walked in he was standing out on the balcony as if he owned the place, the sun shining in through the double doors. He turned around when he heard Sam angrily slam the door.
"Larry." I said, his name like sandpaper in my mouth. Fiona and Sam drew their guns, I didn't.
"Michael. How are you?" He asked, smiling at me. He didn't think I would shoot him. I hadn't before. But this time I wasn't the one holding the gun.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded, looking him dead in the eye as I walked toward him, ignoring his question.
"Manners, Michael." He warned, a threatening edge coming into his voice. Fiona bristled.
"I'm fine Larry. What are you doing here?" I asked again.
"I need help with a case. Young boy being beaten by his drunk father. Mother is always going to the doctors. Brother is a gambler. Girlfriend is a criminal. Best friend is a washout. I have been sent to kill him." Sam and Fi hadn't lowered their guns. I was tempted to tell the to shoot him. His story was eerily familiar.
It was my story.
Larry was here to kill me.
A/N- Like I said, I like cliffhangers. I'm sorry the chapters are so short, but I am making this up as I go along, for the most part. Tell me what you think please.
