A/N: Sorry it has taken so long for me to update and this stupid chapter is way too short! I'm ashamed of myself. I honestly forgot about this story. I need some time to gather my thoughts on how I am going to continue this story, but thanks for your brilliant patience. Also (does anybody remember the television show Flight 29 Down?) I am writing a fic about that once popular show as well. Regardless of how many stories I am working on, I will still take requests *hint hint*.

Tom

After we walked Fiona home, Alex and I started to walk to my house. There was nothing but silence for most of the way, but I could not stay silent for long. "So, Alex. That was the girl you talked about after your mission from that school, right?"

"Yes, Tom." He looked over at me, "Do not start telling me that I need to go out with her."

I was surprised, "How did you know what I was going to say?"

He rolled his eyes, "Did it ever occur to you that you can ask her out? Oh, yeah, too bad she has a boyfriend."

"So that is what is bothering you! She already has a boyfriend; that's why you refuse to ask her out." I replied, feeling proud of myself for figuring it out.

"No, Tom. I do not like her like that. After all, she and her friends tried to shoot me. Then, later on that day, she claimed it was 'just for fun'. So, no I do not like her." He replied.

I was confused, "Then why did you save her back there?"

"I was repaying the favor to her father. After all, he was the one who let me live under his roof until I was able to go to that school. If Grief had found out about that, he would have been murdered." He sighed, "Besides, I'm not the type of person to stand on the sidelines when somebody else is being cornered like that."

I sighed, "Why do you always have a comeback?"

He laughed, "Because you ask the right questions."

We walked a little bit, but I eventually broke the silence, "You know, I might just follow your advice."

"Advice?"

I nodded, "Yep. The part of me asking her out."

He laughed, "Yeah right Tom." I looked at him without smiling and he stopped laughing. "Seriously?"

"Is it really such a bad thing?" I asked.

"Well, yeah. She tried to shoot your best friend!" Alex grinned, "Tom, if you like her then go for it. I'm warning you though, don't let her around any guns. She'll kill you in a hearbeat."

I sighed, "For some reason, she sounds dangerous. Are you sure she's not your type?"

"No way." He laughed. "Just remember that she nearly murdered your friend."

"Will do and advice taken on the gun." I stated and we continued walking.

*Monday*

Unknown

I held the cell phone to my ear and smiled at the new report. "Regardless who is with our target, bring them in too. We could use the friends as leverage as well as the target. Continue on with your mission and strike at the designated time. Goodbye, I expect to see you here in a few days."

"Yes, sir." The man on the other line replied and hung up. I smiled, everything was moving smoothly.
