Cammy sat slumped on the couch, bored out of her mind. Her eyes had almost rolled all the way into the back of her head when an idea hit her suddenly.
"Hey! What's that?"
Wagner's head turned towards the door.
"What?"
She had just the right amount of time to snatch the remote control from his hand. She laughed a little at her trickery while Wagner retorted.
"That was pretty messed up."
"No…it was pretty smart if you ask me."
"I didn't ask you."
Cammy ignored his whining and flipped through the channels. She had been sitting here watching MTV for what seemed like hours. Her and Wagner had been officially out of school for only three days now, she'd had all the girls in bikinis dancing in the sand that she could take. She'd finished her classes via home school. Some teacher from the school had come for a few hours while she completed the work and tests. She guessed it was to make sure she didn't cheat. But that was just as well. Cammy didn't want to go back to school. After beating up Conner and his friends, and then pretty much snapping afterwards, she thought it would be best not to show back up. Guile had agreed. Like he was always saying, 'We don't need any attention'. Suddenly Wagner made a move for the remote. Cammy rolled to her back and put her legs between Wagner and the remote in her hands.
"Hey! Don't kick me!"
"I'm not kicking you. I'm protecting the remote."
"It sure feels like kicking."
Cammy laughed and pushed her legs into an already unsteady Wagner and he soon was pushed from the couch. Cammy stretched out and sighed.
"Ahh…at last, I can be at peace."
She looked down on the floor to see Wagner's face as she gloated but he wasn't there.
"Wagner?"
Silence.
"Wagner?"
More silence. Cammy sat up and searched the room. He wasn't anywhere.
"Scott?"
A sudden battle cry rose behind her. Cammy turned her face just in time for the pillow to make contact.
"Don't call me Scott!"
Cammy tried to pull the pillow from his hands but ended up pulling his entire body over the couch and back onto the floor. He landed hard with a loud thud.
"Ow!"
Cammy released the pillow and quickly stood.
"Shit are you okay?"
He sat up and rubbed his side.
"Yeah, yeah. You've really got to stop doing that, a guy can only take so much."
"I'm sorry. I just don't realize it sometimes. I forget that I'm…this way."
Cammy crossed her arms over her chest and looked to the floor.
"Hey, don't go all girly. It's not a big deal. I'm okay."
Wagner stood up and showed Cammy his body was, in fact, in tact.
"See? I'm still in one, hot, sensual, sexy piece."
Then he preceded to flex his muscles and wink at her. She smiled and slapped him gently on the shoulder.
"OW!"
Wagner's body slumped down. Cammy jumped back and screamed.
"Oh my God!"
Wagner started laughing.
"Just joking. I told you not to worry."
"Asshole."
"That's why you love me."
"Next time I really am going to hit you. I bet you won't think it's funny then."
"I probably won't, but until then…"
Wagner jumped onto the couch and retrieved the remote.
"…I got the TV."
--
Guile rushed to get through his office door before the phone stopped ringing. It was on the third ring right when he was able to get through the door and reach for the receiver.
"…Hello?"
"Captain Guile?"
"Yes."
"It's Chun-Li."
"Oh…hi, sorry about that, I was away from my desk."
"That's alright. I found a doctor."
"That's good. Where'd you find him? He's safe right?"
"It's okay Guile. He works here at Interpol."
"Then why'd it take so long?"
"Well he's not exactly a doctor, he's a youth consoler."
"But you think he can help?"
"Yes. I'm sure of it. I have more good news too Guile."
"Like?"
"I pulled some strings with my superior and you will be able to see your wife and daughter."
"Oh my God. Thank you so much….when is the best time for them to come?"
"Well actually, you will have to go to them. You will be sent on a 'mission' to the London Air Force base. At least that will be your cover."
"What about Wagner and Cammy?"
"They have to stay here. No way in hell can Cammy go back to London. You can't tell them either. They need to believe what everyone else believes."
"I understand, but what about there safety?"
"They are practically adults now. You should have nothing to worry about."
--
Wagner slammed the phone receiver down and jumped into the air, yelling loudly.
"Whoo hoo! Hell yeah!"
He ran into the kitchen, towards Cammy. She turned, a surprised expression on her face. He picked her up from the ground before she could speak. Twirling her around he spoke.
"Finally, after a year, a whole weekend alone."
"Wagner. Put me down."
He did as she asked, before she began speaking again.
"Now what are you talking about?"
"Guile just called. He has to go to London Air Force base on a mission. Two whole nights and days without adult supervision."
"What?"
Cammy sounded odd then. She continued, speaking frantically.
"He's leaving? On a mission? Oh my God! He can't. He'll be killed."
Wagner was very confused. Why was she acting so scared about Guile leaving? This was the greatest thing to have happened to relieve a boring summer.
"Cammy. It's just like a business trip to him. He's gone on missions before. Air Force guys do all the time."
Cammy screamed at Wagner then.
"And then they don't come back!"
That's when it hit him. Cammy's father. He had almost forgotten the specifics of his capture and murder. But now he remembered that it was on a mission. Wagner reached out and put his hand on a now hysterical Cammy's shoulder.
"Hey Cammy. Don't worry. Guile told me that it wasn't a bad kind of mission. He just leaves from Eglin Air Force base here, arrives in London, at their Air Force base. He'll never leave the security of the base."
"Did he say that?"
"Yeah. He also wants you to call him back in a few so he can talk to you. Probably because he knew you'd be worried. He's going to be okay."
"Alright then."
Wagner nodded. She smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes that had been threatening to leak out. Wagner smiled back, his previous excitement returning.
"Guile leaving for the weekend only means one thing."
"What's that?"
An evil smile spread itself across Wagner's face before he responded.
"We're having a party."
