I know, I fail. But I hope you guys are still out there reading! I am finishing the whole story tonight. I have 2-3 more chapters left.

Enjoy!

I woke peacefully from sleep and rolled over to find nothing but cold sheets.

Yeah, that hurt.

I chastised myself for letting him get to me, letting him in again. I decided I would go ahead and get up and put my game face on for the day. I promised myself I wouldn't let him distract me from this mission. By the end of the day I would be a free woman, or a dead one.

Before I had any chance to put my thoughts into actions, a shirtless Damon burst through the double doors to the master suite pushing a silver cart adorned with all sorts of plates covered by their individual silver domes.

"I made you breakfast in bed," He smiled proudly, then the smile turned into a smirk, "Well, I ordered you breakfast in bed."

I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips. Not two minutes ago I was preparing myself for the worst and then here he was bringing me breakfast. In only a pair of sweatpants.

He pulled the large tray off the cart and set it on the foot of the bed as he came around and got back into the bed next to me. As he did I picked up his discarded shirt from the floor and buttoned it up before I started into the food.

"Wow, you look...," Damon stuttered when I walked out of the master suite in a tight long sleeved black dress and matching black Louboutins. We had to look the part of a high profile couple that would be staying in the largest suite in the hotel. Damon didn't do anything half-assed.

I smiled a little as I felt blood rush to my cheeks.

"So where would one store weapons in this number?" I asked him, happily changing the subject.

Damon got to work fitting me with a knife that fit in a holster under my sleeves. He also gave me a fitted ear piece so we could hear each other and anything Tyler might have to say to us. Then he carefully placed a necklace around my neck that was tweaked with a microphone. Then he carefully placed my new silenced gun into a leg holster.

I watched him as he knelt in front of me and carefully strapped the holster in place around my upper thigh, never breaking eye contact even as his hands lingered a moment longer than necessary. I felt my cheeks flush as I saw something flash across his eyes that nearly melted me on the spot. He smirked slightly and stood up while taking my hand.

"You ready?" He asked and with a simple nod of my head we were already out the door, down the elevator and into the lobby.

"Ok," Tyler chimed into our ears, "There is only one elevator that goes to HQ. It is the one closest to the parking garage. Be careful, there is a bell hop in that elevator, he is undercover, you'll have to take him out."

I took a deep breath to steady myself and felt immensely better when Damon squeezed my hand reassuringly.

We weaved through the crowds of guests and tourists as we made our way into the secluded entryway from the parking garage.

I could feel my heart pounding as we waited for the elevator doors to open.

"We're in the elevator," Damon spoke, knowing Tyler would hear it through his microphone.

"Alright when you enter, you will have two minutes to take care of the agent and get his access badge. Once you swipe it, the elevator will take you to level B5," Tyler's voice came through our earpieces.

The doors dinged signaling the elevator's arrival and I was very sure I wouldn't be able to do this until I saw the encouragement in Damon's eyes. I let Damon pull me into the car as he told the undercover agent that we were going one level lower.

Once the doors closed Damon sprung into action, quickly drawing his gun and killing the man easily. He bent down and found his access card and swiped it into the elevator key and the car started moving once more while he pocketed the badge.

"Now, once you get into the entry hall, you'll need to take out everyone and anyone who sees you. You will need to get to the stairwell that I'll guide you to and descend one level. You have less than two minutes to get there," Tyler instructed.

Right before the doors opened, Damon leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips before pulling back and smiling at me. Before I could smile back, the doors dinged open and we were back in mission-mode.

We successfully took down ever agent we came in contact with and made it to the control room with the help of Tyler in our ears.

We now only had five minutes to put the disk into the computer and let it take its course. We both breathed a sigh of relief that we had made it this far. That is, until we hear the sound of a gun being cocked.

I turned to see a tall, very handsome, man holding a gun right near my head. There was a woman with him doing the same to Damon.

"Katherine, go tell the others that we have the threat taken care of," the man said. His features were eerily familiar. His green eyes were hard and emotionless. But there was something in the way he spoke and stood that reminded me of someone.

Katherine gave him a strange look, but lowered her gun and strutted out of the room. Damon turned to me to make sure I was ok. I watched his gaze move from me to the man in front of me. Something on his face confused me. He looked like he had just seen a ghost.

"No fucking way," he whispered. That's when the man moved his glare from me to Damon and I saw the same look cross his face too. I looked between the two staring each other down. It didn't click until Damon said one word. One name.

"Stefan?"

Don't worry, the next chapter picks up where this one left off! I'll be posting the last chapters over the weekend! :]
