Chapter 53:
After dinner the team went to the bunk room to try and get some sleep. Myles and Lucy volunteered for the first bomb watching shift. "What a difference a week can make, huh Myles. Last week we were looking at art and watching a beautiful romantic play. Tonight we are watching a horror flick of those who intend on killing us."
"Don't worry Lucy this movie will have a happy ending."
"I know. Just the anxiety getting there is killing me. I'm kind of glad not to be an agent doing this all the time. I have enough anxiety waiting for you to come home at night."
"Lucy, please don't worry too much. We do all we can to make sure everyone comes home. I want you to promise me that you, Sue and Tara will stay in the command center till the all clear is given."
"Not a problem. I want you to be able to concentrate on the mission, not us. Are you upset that I didn't tell you about the true meaning behind the conference?"
"No. In fact I am kind of relieved. Everyone should know how to defend their selves. I feel better knowing that you can. I am going to take you up on your offer for a sparring partner. You should be practicing your new skills on a regular basis."
"I have been. But I could use some new partners. Ones that don't treat me like glass. You know even with training on how to defend myself, I am a little scared. This is a dangerous mission for everyone."
"Lucy my dear, it's ok to be afraid. Fear is what makes sure we do what we need to in order to stay alive. I would be lying if I told you I am not a little apprehensive about this case. I know the rest of the team have their own fears, so I am in good company. I know that I am working with the best team and it never hurts to say a quick prayer."
"Well know that I will be praying for you and the rest of the team for a safe, successful mission. A lot of lives are at stakeā¦.. Myles, look we have company at the unit."
"Well, well, well, looks like the assembly crew is here ready to start. Lucy, check the cameras on the gates. I think they came via the dock but I want to make sure."
"Sure. I will also call harbor patrol to get their observations and a possible description of the boat."
"I'm glad they showed up. I hate to think I stayed up for no reason. D and Jack are the next shift but we should get Sue too. We will want to know if they figure out the stuff is fake."
"Ok Myles. I'll go get them."
