The Magic Charm
Chapter 6
~*~*~*~
Lily smiled and nodded as she listened to Amelia Bones talk. Amelia was a nice girl who worked in Law Enforcement. She had shoulder length black hair that was in a ponytail. Her black square framed glasses were perched upon her round noise.
"I would have done the same, Amelia. I would've kicked him out the door a bit faster though." Lily said with a chuckle.
"I just couldn't believe he did that to me. We had been together for so long." Amelia said with a shake of her head.
"Well don't let it get you down. Men are jerks, after all." Lily said. Amelia nodded in agreement. She looked at her watch and sighed.
"Lily I'm really sorry but I have to go." Amelia said with a role of her eyes. "Our head of department is retiring in a few weeks and she wants to make sure everything is perfect for the new person." Amelia said.
"I'll see you later then." Lily said with a smile as she watched Amelia walk away. Lily then walked towards the elevator, when the lift reached her floor she stepped in and pushed the number 5 button. It stopped a few times before Lily got of at the right level. She walked down the long corridor before she stopped at the right door. She walked through and entered a large room that had cubicles through out it. She walked towards the receptionist; she was a young girl with dark blonde curly hair.
"Hello, I am here to speak with Mr Moiré." Lily said to the receptionist.
"Of course, he is expecting you..." She looked at the parchment on her desk. "...Ms Evans." The girl smiled. "He asked that you meet him in the files room. It is just through that door and then the second left." Lily nodded and thanked the woman before leaving. When she reached the room she saw a very handsome man looking through some drawers. He turned to her and smiled. He was very handsome indeed. He had beautiful grey eyes and brown hair.
"Ms Evans?" He asked. Lily grinned at the man and nodded.
"Call me Lily." She said as she shook his outstretched hand.
"I'm Simon." He said as he also grinned at her. "I believe you have some queries?"
"Uh yes." Lily said after realising why she had been there. "There has been a tip off that some illegal trading has been going on." Lily noticed that Simon's face paled a bit at this. "I was wondering if you could possibly help me in gathering information?" Lily asked sweetly. She noticed the relieved look on his face.
"I would love to help. Um do you know which countries this umm illegal trading is between?" Simon asked hesitantly.
"Yes. We believe it to be between Britain and Holland." Lily said. Simon sighed.
"Perhaps you would like to go through some of the receipts then for the goods?" He asked. Lily smiled and nodded.
"Thank you. You don't mind helping me do you? It would probably be easier for you to notice a strange good as you deal with these things everyday." Lily said. Simon nodded.
"I don't mind helping." He said with a grin.
A few hours later Lily and Simon where sitting around a table with files strewn across it. They were laughing and joking together and getting on quite well.
"So I said to the guy "I wouldn't drink that if I were you." He looked at me funny and asked why and I explained to him that it was in fact toilet water that one of the girls had put there for a joke." Lily said. Simon laughed along with Lily.
"You must have really liked working at The Magic Charm." Simon said as his laughter died away. Lily grinned.
"Oh I did. If you ever go to New York you have to go there. It is one of the best nightclubs around." Lily said with a small smile. Simon smiled at her.
"Lily I'm sorry if I seem very forward but I was wondering if perhaps you would like to go for a drink with me after work?" Simon blurted out. Lily blushed and put a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I would like that." Lily said as she smiled. Simon looked at his watch.
"Well it looks like Office hours are over do you wanna go now and finish this tomorrow?" Simon asked with a smile.
"Yeah. But you don't mind going to my office first do you? I have some files to get before I leave." Lily said as she stood up. Simon put the files back before the pair headed up to Lily's office.
When they reached the office there was nobody around. Lily led him into her office and turned on the lights.
"Please sit down. It will take me a few minutes to get my files together." Lily said. Simon did so and looked around her office. "Would you like a cup of tea?" Lily asked.
"Sure." Simon said with a shrug. Lily nodded and walked over to the table that sat a few mugs. In one mug there was some clear liquid and Lily flicked her wand so that a steaming tea appeared in it also. Lily picked up an empty mug and grimaced as she made tea the magical way. She put on a smile as she handed Simon his tea.
"I'm so sorry about having to make you wait. I just really have to get these files together. Potter will get pissed off if I don't." Lily said with a role of her eyes. Simon chuckled as he blew on his tea. Lily took a sip and waited for him to take a drink but he just kept it in his hands for a while longer.
"So what's it like working with Potter?" Simon asked casually.
"Oh I hate it." Lily said with a sigh. "He's such a conceded jerk and a control freak." Simon chuckled.
"He hasn't changed much then has he?" Simon said as he took a drink from his mug. Simon looked at the mug oddly. "This tea tastes kinda funny." He said.
"Does it?" Lily asked innocently. Then Simon all of a sudden went blank and the mug of tea fell out of his hand on to the carpet. Lily sighed and got up from her seat.
"That's going to leave a mark." She said. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at Simon. Ropes flew from Lily's wand and wrapped themselves around Simon. Just then the door leading into James's office from Lily's opened. James, Sirius, Frank and Millicent Bagnold the minister walked through. Lily sat back down on her chair as Sirius stood in front of Simon and waved a hand. Simon didn't even blink.
"Is he dead?" Sirius asked. Lily rolled his eyes.
"He's just in a bit of a trance." Frank said as a chair appeared in front of him and he sat down. The Minister and Sirius did the same. James just stood there looking worried.
"I'm not a control freak, am I?" James asked. Lily rolled her eyes and drew up a chair for James beside. James sat down in it looking as if he were sulking.
"Mrs Millicent Bagnold we call upon you here today to bear witness to the interrogation of Simon Moiré." Lily said in her superior legal voice. James couldn't help but feel that it was a bit sexy. Mrs Bagnold nodded. Lily looked at Simon. "Please state your name." Lily said.
"Simon Luc Moiré." Simon said in a blank voice.
"That's good it works. No beating about the bush, are you a deatheater?" Lily asked.
"I am." Simon replied. Nobody was shocked because they expected this from him.
"Has Voldemort planted you in the ministry?" Frank asked.
"Yes." Simon replied. Sirius let out an exasperated sigh.
"Why?" Lily asked. Simon continued to stare blankly for a few seconds then began talking.
"My Lord wishes for me too export the Magic Charm." Simon said looking blankly ahead. Lily couldn't help but give a small smile.
"What is this 'Magic Charm'?" Frank asked.
"It is a talisman that lures the innocent to it and then takes its soul. It first makes the innocent go mad then when it is at it's weakest it takes there soul." Simon said. Lily looked into his eyes and knew that he was trying to fight the power of the truth.
"What does Voldemort want with the talisman?" James butted in.
"When wearing the talisman the person gains the power from it. There is enough power in it to ruin the world." Simon said. Lily and James looked at each other in shock. They didn't know they were dealing with something this big.
"The world?" Sirius asked in shock. "As in everyone on this big round planet thing?"
"Yes." Simon replied.
"I didn't know Voldemort had that big of ambition. I just thought he didn't like muggles." Lily said.
"The population is 9/10 muggle. Dumbledore has had a suspicion for a while that that was what he was aiming for." Mrs Bagnold said. James got of his chair and started pacing around his head in his hands.
"This is unbelievable." He muttered. He turned to Simon. "Where is this necklace thing?" He asked.
"France. The French Government have it hidden in the Loire Valley." Simon replied. James sighed.
"When is Voldemort-" James spat his name "-hoping to retrieve it?"
"In three days." Simon replied. Sirius swore then pardoned himself in front of the ladies.
"What are we going to do?" Lily said.
"Get a team together and go to France." James said. Lily looked at him.
"But it is very short notice." Lily said looking from Frank to James.
"No it's not." Frank said agreeing with James. "We could get a special ops team together by tomorrow and leave the day after. We've got plenty of time." Frank said.
"I suppose we do." Lily said. James looked at her. He didn't like the sound of this 'we' thing. Frank looked at Mrs Bagnold.
"Is it okay with you?" He asked.
"I'm with you 100%." She replied. She looked at Simon. "Question him further then take him to be transferred directly to Azkaban. He is sentenced to life imprisonment." Bagnold said as she stood up. As she left the room Lily and Frank continued to question Simon about the whereabouts. James however followed Bagnold out of the room.
"Can I speak with you for a minute Minister?" James asked as he walked beside her towards the lift.
"Certainly James. Let's talk while we walk. I am late for a dinner meeting with Cornelius Fudge." Bagnold said as she pressed a button for the lift.
"Too put it straight, I don't want Lily part of this." James said. Bagnold looked at him shocked.
"Why not?" She asked.
"She is too inexperienced and will be a hazard for the special ops team. They have to look after themselves they don't have any time to waste on inexperienced people who shouldn't be there." James said.
"Lily is capable of looking after herself. Her trainer told me himself." Bagnold said.
"She has never been put in this type of situation before. Not only will she be a danger to herself but also those around her." James argued.
"It isn't my decision who is part of the team, James." James looked triumphant. "But Lily has to go I am afraid. Legal reasons articulate that because she is a co-head of this department she needs to be there if something goes wrong. It would be beneficial for her to be there James." James sighed angrily. Bagnold looked at him then also sighed. "You shouldn't let your personal life get involved with your work." Bagnold said as the lift gate opened and she walked through. James sighed as he watched the lift descend.
"James?" Lily called. James turned to see her standing in her doorway giving him a curious smile. "You okay?" She asked. James gave her a warm smile.
"I'm fine Lils just a bit freaked by all of this." James said as he rubbed his forehead.
"You aren't the only one. But we'll get through this together." Lily said giving him a warm and tender smile. She then turned and went back into her office. James sighed and followed her.
The next morning James woke up to the sound of music blaring from down stairs. He opened his eyes groggily. He had just been woken up from a very vivid dream that included him a bathtub and a certain redhead. Let's just say James wasn't too happy to wake up. He looked at his alarm and saw that it was 8:30. On a day that he didn't have to go into work until after lunch he woke up early. He sighed and decided to get up and find the source of the loud music. He pulled on a pair of boxers and his glasses from his bedside table. He made his way down the stairs and realised that the music was coming from the kitchen. He could hear a voice now singing along with the music. He stood in the doorway to the kitchen and his eyes nearly dropped out of his head at what he saw. Lily was wearing a pair of very short hotpants and tight vest top. Let's just say James was very much awake now.
"Silvia?" The man singing the song sang.
"Yes Mickey?" Lily sang along with the female part.
"How do you call your lover boy?" The man sand.
"C'mere lover boy." Lily sang in a husky voice.
"And if he doesn't answer?"
"Oh lover boy?" Lily sang seductively. As she sang she moved her hips in time with the music. She captivated James.
"And if he still doesn't answer?"
"I simply say ... Baaabbbyyy. Oh Baby. My sweet baby." Lily sang. "You're the one." As Lily sang this line she turned to find James watching her with a smile on his face. Lily blushed and sub-concisely put a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Umm I didn't wake you up did I?" Lily asked as she turned down the radio.
"I'm glad you did." James said with a smirk. Lily blushed again. She grinned however when she saw his appearance. He was only wearing a pair of black boxers.
"Do you always walk about the house half-naked?" Lily asked with a smirk.
"Do you?" James replied, as he looked her up and down. Lily blushed.
"Do you have a problem with it?" Lily asked. James shook his head.
"Most certainly not. If you want you can walk about naked that would be totally fine with me." James grinned. Lily chuckled and rolled her eyes. Just then there was a pop and Sirius appeared in front of them.
"Good you guys are up." Sirius said cheerily. His smile grew into a grin when he saw Lily.
"Hey Lily. How you doin?" Sirius flirted. Lily rolled her eyes. Sirius turned to James.
"Dude you'll get ill standing in no clothes. Go get changed." Sirius said. James rolled his eyes and went to leave the room as Lily followed. "Lily you don't need to go." Sirius said with a grin. James rolled his eyes and walked back into the room. He took a hold of Lily's hand before she could hit Sirius.
"Lily why don't you go get ready. I fixed the shower in your bathroom for you." James said.
"Thank you." Lily said with a smile before leaving. Sirius glared at James.
"Party-pooper." Sirius muttered.
"In case I forget to say this, thank you." James said with a grin. Sirius looked confused. "If it weren't for you then I wouldn't be waking up to that every morning." James said before leaving.
"I couldn't have asked her to move in with me." Sirius scolded himself.
Later that morning Lily was sitting at a small London cafe having breakfast with Hestia. Both where too lazy to cook for themselves this morning.
"Unlike you, James actually likes my early morning wake up calls." Lily said. Hestia rolled her eyes.
"Let me guess you were wearing you little hot pants. No wonder he liked it Lily." She said.
"Whatever. Lets just say I'm not complaining about how he looked." Lily said with satisfied smile. Hestia's mouth opened wide.
"Details." Hestia said with excitement.
"Let's just say training as an Auror did the body good. Sure he looked good before but now he just looks..." Lily trailed off with a dreamy smile spread across her face. Hestia gave her a knowing look. There was silence between the pair for a few minutes until Lily spoke again. "I think I'm falling in love with James." Lily said quietly. She waited for Hestia to look shocked but it never came. Hestia looked at her.
"I knew that. Everyone knows it." Hestia said with a shrug. Lily's eyes widened.
"Everyone? Does James know?" Lily asked. Hestia laughed.
"He doesn't have a clue. He's to in love with you to realise that you actually love him back." Hestia said.
"No he doesn't." Lily said unbelievably. Hestia nodded her head.
"I hate to burst your little bubble Lily. But he has been crazy about you since we were 12 and discovered that girls don't have germs." Hestia said. Lily sat back in her chair and mulled this over.
"You shouldn't say stuff like that." Lily said as she put her head in her hands.
"Why not? It's the truth after all." Hestia shrugged.
"Hestia you're getting my hopes up and you shouldn't do things like that when I know that he doesn't feel the same way." Lily said. Hestia gave her a small smile and patted her hand.
"I want you to promise me something, okay Lily?" Hestia said seriously. Lily looked at her and nodded. "Promise me you will do something about your feelings for James." Hestia said. Lily looked at her empty breakfast plate.
"I don't-" Lily began.
"Please Lily. I hate to see you go through what you went through in our last year at Hogwarts. And I know James feels the same way about you as you feel for him." Hestia said. Lily sighed and looked back at her empty plate.
Later that afternoon Lily was sitting in Millicent Bagnolds' office. Bagnold had sent her an urgent owl that morning requesting a meeting with her. Lily was unsure what it was about and it had not said in the letter. Bagnold smiled reassuringly at Lily.
"Don't look so worried Lily. You are here for a good reason." Mrs Bagnold said. Lily gave her a smile yet was still nervous. "As I am sure you already know Graham Cullen is retiring." Lily nodded her head. "There is a position now opening for a new Head of Department. I want to offer you the job, Lily." Bagnold said. Lily's mouth opened wide in shock.
"Me?" Lily asked astonished.
"Yes, you Lily." Bagnold chuckled. "What do you think?"
"Well what about the job I am doing now?" Lily asked.
"You will finish the project first, of course. Then you will be relocated." Bagnold said as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs.
"What about the operation? I'm sure that the 'project' we are in the middle isn't the only corruption within in the ministry." Lily said.
"The future of this operation will be told to you when you come back from France." Bagnold said.
"Well what about James and Frank?" Lily asked.
"If the operation ends they will return to their original jobs. James as Head of the Aurors and Frank as the Head of Law Enforcement. Lily you have no need to worry about them." Bagnold said. "In your contract you were only to work on this operation. And personally I want you to stick around for a while longer, Lily. You are a wonderful Lawyer Lily and a great asset to the Ministry." Bagnold said as she leaned forward on her desk and gave Lily a warm smile.
Lily stayed quite and stared at the table contemplating her decision. To you and me it would be an easy decision but for some reason Lily needed to think about it. Lily had built her whole life around getting to this point in her career. But Lily was scared that if she reached her goal then there would be nothing left for her to aim for. Lily was scared.
"Could I have some time to think about it?" Lily asked. Bagnold was taken back by this but nodded her head.
"I will need an answer soon though Lily. Perhaps when you get back from the mission you can let me know?" Bagnold asked.
"That should be enough time." Lily said as she stood up. Bagnold shook her outstretched hand then watched as a very confused woman walked out of her office. She hoped Lily would make the right decision for herself.
Lily walked towards a large conference room. She was supposed to meet James, Frank and the Special Ops team there but she was running a few minutes late due to the meeting with Bagnold. When she reached it there was about 25 people standing inside. The meeting had obviously not started yet. When she walked in James and Frank made a beeline for her.
"Lily where have you been?" Frank asked.
"I had a meeting." Lily said. "Let's get started shall we." Lily said as she sat down on a large leather seat. Frank sat down on the right of her and James sat on the other side of Frank.
"If you all could please take a seat." Frank called as he sat. The people did so and all 25 of them sat around a very large table. "On behalf of myself, Miss Evans and Mr Potter we would like to thank you all for coming this afternoon. We understand it is very short notice but a very urgent matter has come upon us." Frank said as he leaned forward on the table and clasped his hands. "Evidence has been found that deatheaters have been using the government to gain artefacts that can help in the up rise of Voldemort." Many people shuddered at the name.
James looked around the group and could see many of his friends within it. He could see Sirius sit with some of the Aurors that had been chosen. Many of them James had known from his years at school. He also saw Hestia sit with many of the unspeakables. He looked at Lily and could see that she was staring at the table and seemed deep in thought. He hoped that perhaps she was having second thoughts about going so that his job would be made easier.
"You all have been asked here today to be part of a Special Ops team that will stop the transaction of an artefact being given to the deatheaters." Frank stopped so that the idea could sink into everyone. "You have a choose to be here. This mission will be dangerous and lives could be lost. But we are hoping that we found out about this early enough so that it can be an element of surprise. The team will leave tomorrow morning for an undisclosed destination. It is unsure of how long you could be there. From a day to a week or even more. If you feel you can not be part of this mission then please leave now. You will not be thought less off in any way." Frank said. Nobody said anything but it was obvious that it was crossing a few people's minds. Frank turned a man short black hair and sharp features. "You sure you want to do this Bones? Lucy doesn't have that long left." Frank said.
"Lucy has still got a month left. We'll be back by then. She'll not give birth with out me there. Trust me." Bones said with a small chuckle. A few others chuckled or cracked a smile. It lightened the mood a bit. Just a bit. Frank turned to a young women with curly blonde her and round features that accentuated her blue eyes. "Not long until the wedding Marlene. It's gonna be a big day for you. We wouldn't want you to miss it." Frank said. Marlene cracked a smile.
"It took Danny three years to decide on a date. He can wait a while longer." Marlene smiled. Frank chuckled then turned to Sirius.
"What about you Black? I'm sure you've got a date planned." Frank chuckled. Everyone laughed knowing Sirius's womanising ways.
"Well I would have had one but Hestia just won't say yes." Sirius said flashing her a dazzling smile and wink. Hestia rolled her eyes.
"You wish." Hestia said.
"What about you Hestia?" Frank asked.
"Of course I'm going. You think I'm going to let you guys have all the fun?" Hestia chuckled. Frank smiled.
"I'm going to say this one last time and after this there can be no backing out. Is everyone willing to risk his or her lives for this mission?" Frank asked. There was a chorus of 'Yes' and a 'Sounds like fun' from Sirius. Frank smiled. "Then lets get down to business."
Lily passed round a contract for each person to sign and also handed one to James and Frank.
"These contracts is a binding oath to the Ministry that everything told within this room will not in any way be told to the outside world." Lily said as everyone signed their names on the dotted line with the Quills from the middle of the table. When the contract where handed back Lily spoke again. "If anything is ever told about this mission the Ministry will know and they will know who talked. You have just signed an oath of silence and there will be dire consequences if the oath is broken." Lily said seriously. Lily sat back down and it was James's turn to speak.
"Tomorrow morning at dawn the task team will leave for its required destination. You will not know where it is until you get there. When we arrive you will be put into four teams. Five of you will head up the operation from the location we are staying at and will make sure that everything runs smoothly. Ten of you will be the first wave of attack; I will be leading this attack. The next ten will be the second wave, which will be led by Frank." James said. "There will be medical staff also at the location. Any questions?" James asked. Marlene McKinnon put up her hand.
"What is this artefact that Voldemort wants?" She asked. James looked at Lily, unsure of whether he should tell her.
"It is a magical amulet." Lily said. She passed round a picture that found of it. It was a dark silver necklace with a symbol shaped like an oval with a black jewel in the middle. "It should not in anyway be worn for it can be dangerous alone to the touch. If in some how you lay your hands upon it destroy it at once or gave it to either James Frank or myself." Lily said. Edgar Bones raised his hand.
"Are we taking prisoners?" He asked. Frank nodded his head.
"If possible yes." Was all he said. The meeting continued like this for a while longer.
When it was over Lily went back to her office to sort out some paper work when Melinda, James and Lily's secretary, beeped. Lily picked up her wand and pressed it against a button.
"Yes Melinda?" Lily asked.
"There is a Philippe Vutton on the Muggle felephone." Melinda said with a confused tone. Lily chuckled.
"It's a telephone and I'll take it." Lily said with a small smile. There was another beep and then Lily picked up the receiver.
"Hey." Lily said in a happy tone.
"Well look who sounds gorgeous." The American accent of Philippe her gay friend said. Lily chuckled.
"How are you?" Lily asked.
"I'm great, how are you?" Philippe asked.
"Getting by. Missing you loads of course." Lily said.
"I'm missing you too." Philippe said.
"How is that husband of yours doing?" Lily asked.
"Driving me up the wall but I'm loving every minute of it." Philippe chuckled. "Speaking of love lives, how is yours?" He asked gingerly.
"Non-existent. So how is Barbados?" Lily asked trying to change the subject.
"We're back in the city and don't change the subject. Why is it non-existent? When you lived here you at least five marriage proposals a week." Philippe chuckled.
"I'm just working hard." Lily said.
"There's a guy isn't there? Who is he?" Philippe said. Lily sighed and rubbed her head.
"It's the guy." Lily said.
"Oh that guy. I didn't know you met up with him again." Philippe said curiously.
"I work with him and live with him." Lily said.
"Wow Lily that is fast." Philippe said.
"It's not like that. We aren't together or anything like that we're just roommates." Lily said.
"You love him." Philippe said.
"OMG! How do you people know these things?" Lily said exasperated. Philippe chuckled.
"I have a gift." He said.
"Let's talk about you please. I'm sick of talking about this. Why are you back in New York?" Lily asked curiously.
"Kelly sold the bar." Philippe said.
"She did what? I can't believe she did that. It was her life. Do you know who bought it?" Lily asked.
"I did." Philippe said. Lily squealed in delight.
"I can't believe you didn't call sooner." Lily said.
"The deal just went through about an hour ago." Philippe said.
"Pretty early meeting. What time is it over there?" Lily asked.
"It's 10:10. Derek and I are thinking of redecorating. What do you think?" Philippe asked. "We need a woman's opinion." He added.
"Philippe you and Derek are bigger women than I ever could be." Lily chuckled. Philippe laughed.
"Seriously though Lily. Why don't you come over for a few weeks and help us out. Everyone would love to see you again. And I hear Todd Bernstein is kicking himself for not marrying you and also not hiring you." Philippe chuckled.
"Don't even joke about that git." Lily said darkly.
"Okay, I'm sorry but what about a little vacation?" Philippe asked.
"I would love to go back. But I don't know. I've been offered a promotion." Lily said.
"Well don't sound too happy the enthusiasm could wipe you out." Philippe said sarcastically.
"I am happy it's just I'm so young and I've already reached my goal in life. And I'm not sure if I even want to work in the Government any more." Lily sighed.
"Well I think you need a vacation so come and see me. And plus Bernstein really wants to talk with you. I hear he has a great deal for you. And if those doesn't work out Cannons has also been looking for you. You've got lots of opportunities here to make your dream come true." Philippe said.
"I'll have to think about it." Lily said sadly.
"Well if you change your mind I'm just a phone call away." Philippe said.
"I know." Lily said. Noise could be heard in the background of the phone.
"Look I better go. Think about the offer and call me in a few days with your answer, okay?" Philippe said.
"I will. Love you." Lily said.
"Love you too." Philippe said before hanging up. Lily put the receiver down and put her head in her hands. She didn't know what to do. She had a great opportunity to make something of herself in England and America. Just then the door knocked from James's office. James entered and gave Lily a small smile.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" James asked. Lily shook her head and gave him a tired smile. James came into the room. "Look I need to talk to you." James said.
"Sure what about?" Lily asked.
"It's about the mission tomorrow." Lily looked at him. "I don't want you going." James blurted out. Lily looked at him in shock.
"Why not?" Lily asked.
"You don't have proper training to do this type mission." James said.
"I'm going." Lily said angrily.
"I know you are but I want to make it clear that I don't want you there." James replied stonily.
"Why the hell not?" Lily asked rising from her chair.
"You're a danger, Lily." James said.
"To who?" Lily asked furiously.
"To the special ops team." James replied.
"You think I can't handle myself? You of all people know what I am capable of doing!" Lily exclaimed.
"You're going to be staying at the location and heading up the operation from there." James said.
"They don't need me there." Lily said. "You need me in the battle." Lily seethed through gritted teeth.
"If it were up to me you wouldn't be going on this mission, it's too dangerous." James said.
"Well how about I don't go at all. Maybe it will be safer for everyone." Lily said furiously.
"My thoughts exactly. But Bagnold said you had to go. To make sure everything is kept legit." James said.
"Well guess what? After this mission you won't have to deal with me at all. I'm going back to America. I've been offered a better job." Lily said angrily. James's face fell. "Don't look so shocked." Lily said bitterly. "Do you know what I don't understand though? How you could have been so nice and yet still lead me on. I must say James you're a great actor." Lily said resentfully. "Now please leave my office." Lily said. James sighed then left her office and went into his own.
What the hell had he done?
