As Emilia made her way inside the café, she felt a nervous sinking feeling in her stomach. She had forgotten to tell anyone where she was going, Emilia hoped they wouldn't come looking for her. She had left her phone at home. She would have just have to wait and see.
Emilia sees Aaron sitting, waiting at a table in the corner towards the back. He looks up and stares at Emilia for a second before sipping his coffee. Emilia sits down in front of him and gets straight to point, "Well, what was it that you needed to talk to me about?" She mentally reminded herself that she wasn't going to let him intimidate her or come off as desperate.
He frowned, "You're late and-"
Emilia cut him off, "Can you just tell me what you want so I can leave?"
"Not if you keep being rude."
"Fine."
A waiter came and asked if she wanted to order anything but she made a big deal about everything on their menu, trying to see if Aaron would get embarrassed. It didn't seem like it. His green eyes carefully looked her over, and when the waiter finally left he cleared his throat, "Remind me to give that waiter a big tip."
"Why?"
"Because you were being a pain in the ass."
Despite herself, Emilia laughed and he smiled. Then he leaned in closer and said in a serious tone, "Alright, the reason I'm here is because you and me need to go on a special task, we need to take out a certain agent, the thing is its urgent and we need to do it tonight."
"Are you crazy? Everyone will be suspicious and I don't do what strangers tell me to do." Emilia said back. She added, "Besides who is this agent and why do you want to execute them?"
He made a face, "First, the agency sends the orders, not me. Second, you can tell them you're going on a date with me. Lastly, his name is Russell Casey, that's his real name, he's abandoned the alias we gave him and is going around killing agents."
Emilia was taken aback, "Why is he doing that?"
Aaron only shrugged, "He's into heavy drugs, that's what probably made him insane but he's smart and has valuable secrets."
She asked, "Is he working with anyone? And why does it have to be me and you?
Emilia was getting slightly frustrated as she saw he wasn't losing his patience with her and with all the questions she was asking. "Not that we know of, and they figured it would better because he's here in France and well I'm observing you, for your evaluation, of course." He answered.
Emilia looked down and they were both silent for a while. Until he spoke up, "Any more questions?"
She looked up, "How old are you?"
"I'm 24, I know you're 21." He grinned.
"Stalker." Emilia muttered. "Well if that's it, then I'll pick you up later tonight, at eleven pm, looking forward to our date." He said smirking and leaving money on the table as he got up and left.
Emilia sat back and sighed, if anybody else had stalked her like that, she wouldn't have hesitated to beat the crap out of them but he was on her side for now. She looked at clock and saw that it was 11:05, she couldn't believe two hours had passed by.
She got up and walked back to the house. When she walked in, Aubrey immediately yelled, "Where the hell have you been?" "Jogging."
Tan got up from the table, they had all been eating breakfast including Bodie and Angel, and they couldn't have been that worried, if they were eating. Tan walked over to Emilia, "Next time, give us a heads up, given the circumstances something could have happened to you." He had on a tight facial expression and Emilia knew he was talking about them being on a mission.
Mo, noticing the tense atmosphere, calls out, "Come sit with me here and eat the pancakes I made so delicious, ain't that right Em."
Emilia gave him smile and thanked him. She knew he learned to cook when he was taking care of Glitch. She could always count on him and Glitch to help her with all the stupid stuff she liked to do, except when they were dangerous that's when they both chickened out. They were like the brothers to her, even more when Bodie suddenly left.
Mo, always had been a leader, but he wasn't uptight. He could bring people together and make his voice heard, while going around pulling pranks and having fun. He met Glitch around his neighborhood when he was 16, and kind of took him under his wing.
Name: Mason Morgan
Current Alias: Terrence Stokes
Age: 21
He had been recruited by Tan, and at first was reluctant to leave because he had to take care of Glitch, who was only 13 at the time. They, by some miracle, managed to work something out. Mo trained for two years but didn't have to join officially yet. He turned 18 and wanted legal guardianship of 15 year old Glitch, to which his relatives eagerly signed him over to. Mo didn't think he would make into to the organization, but when he did, he was horrified to find out that they wanted to train Glitch. He didn't want Glitch to be forced into becoming someone he didn't want to be.
His luck came when Glitch was more than eager to join. The rest was history, he was one of the fastest runners and give him a handgun and whoever he was chasing after would soon drop dead. He was skillful and knew his way around, he had a way of getting a target to speak without having to resort to violence. That was his main area, convincing people to do what he wanted.
The only thing he dreaded now was anyone he cared about getting hurt, and the agency making him a promoter and a recruiter.
Emilia finished her pancakes even if she wasn't hungry. Everyone was back to normal, chatting and eating. She got up and went to the living room until she felt a hand pull her away. It was Oblio. He put a finger to his lips, "I don't believe you went jogging, you're wearing jeans. In fact, no one believes you, they know you lied but they don't want to push you."
Emilia huffed, she was irritated, only Oblio could make her want to tell him, "Fine… but you can't tell anyone..." She didn't want to say she had a date but she had no other choice, "I have a date."
Emilia held in her breath waiting as she watches Oblio search her face for clues that she's lying. She slowly exhales when she sees Oblio give her a sly smile. "Very well then, I'm sorry to have bothered you." He says walking away. She walks back to the table and tries to act as normal as she can for the rest of the day.
11 Hours Later
Bodie finishes a call saying that he was required to go on an immediate mission to take out a classified agent who apparently has gone crazy. He tells Angel to tell their team about it and that they still have to go on to the regular job when he is done with this one.
He comes out to hear Aubrey and Dare squealing, "Oh my god!"
Emilia groans, she knew she wouldn't be able to sneak out without someone catching her and getting suspicious. So she subtly told them and now they were making a big deal about it.
Bodie stands behind Emilia, "What?"
Emilia turns around, "Uh… I told them I have a date."
Bodie's cheeks turn red, "Oh, that guy from the club? Seemed kinda shady." "Yeah, well…"
He clenched his jaw, he could've taken her out if it wasn't for his stupid job. "Well, have fun."
Emilia punched his shoulder, "C'mon B. Help me out, they're going to make go through a stupid makeover!"
Bodie gave her a strained smile, he would have to tell her how felt before he had to return to his original duty, eliminating two random girls with Angel.
"You'll be fine." He said while Angel was saying goodbye to Aubrey who was warming up to him, but still playing hard to get.
Emilia watched Bodie and Angel leave, she didn't know what was going on between her and Bodie, but she didn't have to time to think about that. She then realizes how much he's stayed the same but also how much he's changed. Like he shuts off emotion, which was strange because she does that too.
Emilia ran upstairs and threw on black jeans and a black tank. She walked downstairs and sees everyone staring at her, "What?"
"What are you going to a Goth club?" Maccoy asks laughing.
"No, it's just going to be very laid-back. Bye!" Emilia says, running to the door, so they wouldn't ask her anymore questions.
She bumps into someone and is pulled up before she hits the ground. "Excited to see me?" Aaron asks gazing cockily at her.
"Let's get this over with." Emilia says embarrassed.
They head to his black SUV and drive to a dingier place of the town, they come to a stop in front of the house. "So what's the plan?" Emilia asks.
"We were going to shoot him from atop the buildings, but since there's one of him and two of us, I figured it would be easier and cleaner to take him down with a lethal injection of drugs-" he said.
"So it would induce a heart attack and look like he overdosed…" Emilia finished for him.
"Yup, let's get going." He said getting out of the car. Emilia followed and then he turned around with two masks in his hands, he handed one to her. She was confused, she never had to hide her face.
Puzzled, Emilia asks, "Why?" "Because I know you're supposed to be on another operation, and if any other agents capture one of us, they won't have the other person's identity." He says in a low voice.
They approach the house and Aaron goes to open the door but finds it already open.
Bodie was told to cover up his face because revealing his identity would give other agents, who were trying to kill him, his whereabouts or some crap like that. He didn't really listen because he was upset over Emilia but right now he had a job to do, so he pushed her from his thoughts.
He entered the house which smelled horrible. Bodie picked the lock and quietly walked in holding his gun, ready to shoot at any moment. There was no one in sight so after he checked all the rooms downstairs, he went upstairs slowly until he walked into one of the rooms.
Emilia and Aaron walk inside and check everywhere until they decide to go upstairs, Emilia walks in front of Aaron and sees a bedroom door open. She picks up her pace until she walks into the room and sees a masked person beating the hell out of their target. The masked person turns around and the four of them are staring at each other.
Aaron is the first to speak, "Who are you?" Bodie didn't expect this, "Derek Paranely." He saw a man about his height and obviously a woman about a foot shorter, but both faces were covered.
Emilia's face was one of pure shock, even if nobody could tell, "What are you-"
She was cut off by Russell yelling and pushing Bodie off of him and manically shooting wherever he could aim. Aaron immediately picked up his gun and shot him in the head, leaving a mess everywhere. This left all three of them panicked, but Bodie still asks, "Since I told you my name, I think it's fair I know yours..."
Emilia couldn't complete the mission without Aubrey but he was clearly alone, so maybe she could finish her part right now….
"Alexandra Wesley."
Bodie was shocked this short, petite girl is the one he's after, but he realized it would make his job a hell of a lot easier.
Bodie was about to open his mouth to say something when he was tackled by Aaron. They threw punches at each other until Bodie was able to push him off for a split second and lunged for Emilia. Emilia quickly recoiled and threw a knife she had in her pocket barely missing him. She couldn't do this without Aubrey so she backed up into the hallway. Aaron got up and pushed Emilia down the stairs yelling for her to run. Bodie tried to grab a hold on him but instead ripped his mask off while Aaron did the same.
Bodie was trying to process what was going on. Is Emilia involved in all this? He thought, Is she working with him? Endless scenarios were running through Bodie's mind until he yelled, "What the hell!"
Aaron stared at Bodie, knowing he was going to have to lie, "I'm an agent from another organization, I was sent to watch you, and on the way I got distracted by your friend. Too bad though, I stood her up, had more important things to do."
Bodie was beyond furious, he stood Emilia up and this Aaron guy was probably going to drag her into all of his baggage. "Stay away from her." Bodie's voice was eerily quiet. "Does she know who you are?" Aaron asked. Bodie said nothing and just glared at him. He knew they wouldn't kill each other today.
Aaron made his way down the stairs towards the car, it didn't take him long to realize that Bodie and Emilia didn't know that they were supposed to assassinate each other. He probably wouldn't tell her, he wasn't going to be here for very long anyway.
Emilia couldn't do much to break her fall so when she landed on the ground, it hurt intensely. She was so angry that he pushed her down the stairs even if he was trying to save her. She quickly scrambled to get up and ran to the car, and took the mask off, she knew he would come down eventually. And when he did he would have a lot to deal with.
When he came into the car, the first thing Emilia did was punch him. She didn't care if she was being irrational, he pissed her off. After yelling at Aaron for five minutes, she finally cooled down. He didn't get angry with her, the only thing he said was, "When your friends ask you how the date went, just tell them I stood you up."
"Why?"
He stared at the road, "Just do it." Emilia checked the time, it was two in the morning. Once he dropped her off, Emilia quickly walked inside, straight to her room. She didn't want to do anything, her body was in pain but she's been in worse shape.
She didn't know how she was going to explain the bruises, but at this point she could care less.
