Here you go, new chapter. I will admit though, this (and the next few chapters) might be shorter than usual. Hope you enjoy none the less.
Daisy
She woke up but she still kept her eyes closed. She stretched her arm out to wrap around her boyfriend but as she did her arm fell through air. She opened her eyes and saw an empty space next to her. She slept in a double bed but her small body only took up 40% of it. She lay and stared at Blane's empty space for a few minutes. She finally gathered the strength to get up as she ascending from the bed her knees wobbled, usually Blane would catch her and laugh but now she just fell back down onto your bed. She got back up and got dressed into her office outfit, black skirt, high heels, white shirt, black blazer, there wasn't much room for accessories. She stood in the kitchen sipping her coffee and looking at a photo of her and Blane that was hung on the wall, it was them on the beach. It was the same photo Blane had slotted into his wallet, which Daisy didn't know about. After looking at it she decided she need some fresh air. She stepped out onto the balcony and stared across the city of London. She (and Blane) lived in a penthouse apartment in the centre of London. Daisy smiled as the sun crept around the Gherkin. Once she finished her coffee Daisy headed off to work.
She got to her office in Vauxhall Cross, MI9 and MI6 had been sharing buildings for the past few years due to space shortages. Daisy was a misinformationofficer, basically Daisy worked in black propaganda, constructing fake stories and spreading them around, Daisy shined extremely well in this role because it was just like gossiping back in school. She got to her office and sat at her desk and stared aimlessly for a few minutes until Joel, one of the other officers, came in and handed her a file of objectives for the day. Daisy flicked through them but didn't read, she was too hung up on Blane to think about anything else.
"Daisy?" Joel said as he tapped on her door. "The team is rounding up in the conference room." Joel was a nice guy with his shaggy black hair and blue eyes. Joel was a casual dressing type of guy. He never wore a blazer; he rolled his sleeves up and wore a sweater vest over the shirt. Today his sweater vest was blue.
"Hmmm, yeah I'll be there in a minute." Daisy replied as she snapped back to reality. Daisy quickly gathered her files and joined the other 4 members of the team.
The team consisted of Daisy, Joel, Anna, Jennifer and Darren who was in his late 40's and the head of the team. She got to the room carrying her pile of files. in the room there was a long table. Darren stood at the head with a screen behind him; Anna and Jennifer sat on one side of the table while Joel sat on the other side with an empty seat next to him. Daisy took the seat next to Joel and they started their meeting.
"Right. Our main focus this week is Chad." Darren started as a satellite image of the country came up on the screen. "We've been wanting to get some of our boys in there but we haven't got an opportunity. Our priority is to get us an excuse to go in. any ideas?"
"We could say there are weapons of mass destruction in Chad." Joel jokingly suggested.
"Don't be silly. We already used that one back in Iraq." Replied Darren.
"Maybe we could spark a rebellion?" Jennifer said
"Perhaps but that takes weeks."
"I know!" Daisy stated as she raised her hand. "What if there was human trafficking in Chad. The UN will be all over that and will have to send peacekeepers."
"That's exactly what we need. Great job Daisy." Darren answered with a grin as he pointed at her.
"Thanks." Daisy said giddily. A moment later she had an epiphany. Her idea would now get hundreds of people killed. She put her head down and Joel patted her on the back.
"Joel. Get your camera. We're going to need to get some photos that we can leak." Darren suddenly stated.
"I feel like Peter Parker." Joel exclaimed as he jumped from his chair and left. Daisy laughed lightly but it didn't help.
The meeting finished and Daisy went back to her office and write up the fake documents. She started typing but she could focus. She was still feeling guilty about her idea; she needed something to reassure her so she headed down to operation control.
Operation control was were all the agent handlers were. Handlers were officers who organised things for agents in the field, Lenny use to be her handler. Daisy was looking for Sue, Blane and Oscar's handler. Daisy hated the idea of a women (that wasn't her) looking after Blane. Sue who was a petite red head was sitting at her desk with a map and compass, she was trying to figure how long it would take Perses to get out of Sudan. Daisy stood next to her desk, Sue looked up and smiled.
"Hey….." Sue started as she forgot Daisy's name "What brings you down here?"
"Well I was just wondering how they're doing in Sudan." Daisy replied.
"Oh I see." Sue said disappointedly as she thought Daisy was there to have a conversation. She turned to her computer and pulled up a report." Operation: Steel toe. Its about 12.00 pm there now so they should be at their targets location. They should be done pretty quickly."
"Do you know when Blane will get back?" Daisy blurted out, "and Oscar." Sue sat back in her chair and thought through their objectives and timing.
"Well, first they have to eliminate Samir. Not get killed. Escape without getting seen once. Travel back to Egypt. Lay low for a little while. Then fly here." She paused. "I'd say about 2 more days." Daisy's heart sank.
"Thanks. I'll see you later." Said Daisy as she slowly walked away. This wasn't what she needed, two more days and he'd probably be shipped away again for the other of the world straight away. Daisy kept her head down as she walked but as she did she ended up ramming into Joel. Daisy looked up and saw Joel standing there, holding two cups of coffee. She looked down and saw the tears that had started to build in her eyes had wiped on his baby blue vest. She looked back at Joel. "Sorry."
"Don't worry about it." He said. They stood awkwardly for a moment. "I better go." Joel slowly weaved his way around her and headed for Sue. Daisy just stood there and composed herself.
Joel stood next to Sue's desk holding the coffee. Sue was back to going through her estimations on the map. She finally looked up and him and they just stared at each other for a moment.
"Hi." Sue said shyly as she blushed.
"Hi." Joel nervously replied. "I brought you some coffee." He set it on her desk.
"Oh. Um. Thanks." She wasn't use to getting things. "Do you wanna seat?"
"Sure." Joel replied as he pulled a chair up next to her. "What you working on?"
"Me?" Joel was full of surprises for Sue. "I'm just working on the timing for a few of my agents to go home."
"Cool."
Daisy watched from afar. She couldn't help but watch. It was like looking at Blane and herself back in school. This didn't help her mood so she left quickly. She rushed back up to her office so that she could bury her head in work to stop her from thinking. She sat at her desk and was about to start typing again when the phone strangely rang. She picked up
"Daisy Millar's office."
"Daisy." It was the head of MI9. "I want you to come and report to my office in a few days. We have a situation that we feel you will be able to assist us in."
What did you think? cos I wasn't sure how it would go down. Quick questions, do you think it would be a massive loss if Carrie wasn't a huge part of the story? Please R&R and tell me if you think Carrie is important so that I can write another chapter.
