I know another long wait but worth it I hope.
oh and please don't hurt me.
Frank's POV
(Stella's office)
I was helping Stella sort thought all of the files from yesterday's destruction, though she was more focused on being able to see who the watcher is. The medical unit won't let anyone see him till he wakes up, they said it could take a while, the charge from the Stun gun Stella fired at him was very high.
"I think I should go get lunch we could be here a while" I suddenly stated in the silent room.
"It's like you read my mind" she leant back in her chair and smiled.
" I'll have a….." I stopped her there.
"You have the same thing every day from the same coffee shop no need to tell me" I walked over and kissed her head.
"I'll be five minutes"
I walked out feeling better than ever this might be it, I could see nothing in our way everyone wanted us to start back up even Mr Flatley said we made a lovely couple.
All these thoughts filled my mind as I got mine and Stella's coffee from a small shop across the road I also got Stella her ham and cheese toasted sandwich which, for some reason, she always has I know that because nothing about that amazing woman could surprise me anymore.
I walked back across the road and I see a man in a dark coat looking through the glass doors to the building.
"Hello? Is there anything I can help you with?" I asked unsure of what to make of this man.
He turned around to face me. this man was easily a few inches taller than me and he was wearing a t-shirt with short sleeves so I could see his arms were very muscular maybe he was here to be recruited, his eyes looked me over like he was making sure of something.
"Is this the M.I.9 building?" his voice was soft with a strong American accent but he spoke forcefully as he started reaching into his pocket.
I looked at him very confused of why he would ask something like that.
"Sorry let me start again I'm from the M.I.9 base in New York I'm looking for someone" he showed me his ID card.
"Oh well in that case I'm Agent Frank London yes this is M.I.9 who is it your looking for?"
"A woman an Agent Miles I have a picture here somewhere" he was reaching into his pocket again.
"I'm sorry there isn't an Agent Miles here" I regretfully replied.
" Well it's just as possible she is going by her old name ummm I think it was Knight. Stella Knight" he took the photo out of his pocket and showed it to me, it was her, my Stella.
"Yes I know her, what is it you want from her?"
"Sorry I should have said I'm Agent Miles she's my wife"
I felt my stomach sink I wanted to sit down but there was nowhere around.
"She isn't in today she's probably at her home" I managed to say those few words before I tried walking past him.
"Well please do you have any idea where she lives it's important I see her I have spent a long time trying to find her" he quickly put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.
I turned to face him again.
"Again I'm sorry I don't know her that well" I just wanted to run up to her and get her side of this story he must be mistaken Stella couldn't be married.
"Well if you do find out its very important you tell me" he wrote his number and name on a small bit of paper and slid it between the coffees in my hand.
"Of course yes" I turned and walked back in.
I would have run but I knew he was still watching and I couldn't risk it. He had to be lying about it all he couldn't be her husband Stella would have said something marriage is a very important thing to her, she respects what it means she wouldn't just run away from it and cheat on her husband.
I got back up to her office, I stood outside building up the confidence to go in and confront her about it.
I took a deep breath and walked in.
"Finally I was about to send out a search party" she looked at me with a smile but I couldn't act like everything was ok I had to get it over with. I put the coffee on the desk along with her food and rested my hands on it next to them.
I was looking down at the floor leaning on the desk trying to sort out all the questions.
"Miles" I managed to get out without letting my anger escape .
"What ? It's not miles it's just over the road "
" Save it" I hissed
I looked up at her unable to hide my anger.
"Stella Miles" her smile dropped and her eyes filled with fear as soon as she heard me say her name.
"How…where…..I mean who told you that"
"Is it true?" I was trying very hard to stay calm.
"Frank I can explain"
I shoved all the files next to my hands off the desk sending papers flying everywhere it was the only thing I could do that didn't require punching anything.
"IS IT TRUE?!" I couldn't control it any more I saw more fear in Stella's eyes as she jumped back.
"Frank I got the Chief Agent and Head of that base to get us divorced. It was a stupid drugged mistake. I spent a year in the New York base before I was asked to come back and run things here. We were partners, purely work partners, nothing more. We were following a man in Las Vegas, a suspected weapons smuggler, I think he caught on and drugged us or at least got someone else to do it. Next thing I know its morning and I wake up in bed with Andy and find out we had gotten married. As soon as we got back I got them to divorce us he wasn't happy about it though he….he got violent trying to make me change my mind so as soon as I got the call from the old head here I got on the first plane."
"So you got married then divorced" I was slightly calmer now.
"Yes there's only one man I ever loved and that's you, but Andy he was always trying to find a reason to stand close to me and work one on one with me, after a while it was like he was obsessed with me, he would follow me home and watch me at work. I tried to tell the head there but he wouldn't listen Andy is his son, and Andy doesn't like not getting what he wanted and he wanted Me." she looked down pushing her fringe put of her eyes.
"Stella? Did her hurt you?" she just looked away more.
"Stella what did he do please tell me"
"Just pick up those files and get back to work" she said like she was holding back tears.
"Stel please"
" GET….get back to work" she sat down and started writing again not looking up at me at all.
How could she not tell me? What did he do to her to make her so scared? Why did he say they were still married?
All very good questions I had to find the answers to.
I know I'm evil to them please don't hate me and pre-warn more grown up theme's in the chapters to follow.
And I know you'll have to wait to find out who the watcher is but i will say i think all your guesses have been wrong so far haha
review please :)
