I would have thought he'd ask for a place Hillary thought as she walked down the street the next day. His unspoken words seemed to go round her head. "No place, no operation". She had to admit that he would have been an asset to Rhyla but… she was the best at fieldwork, you had to admit, and she didn't want him to show her up.
She stopped outside a large building and glanced around suspiciously making sure that no one had followed her.
She took out a key and went inside the building.
The two guards greeted her.
"Hillary," one greeted her nodding.
"Max," she replied.
In Rhyla one of the things the fieldworkers had to do was use their main cover that you use with friends. They knew each others" real names but you had to use your main cover name at all times. The inside people didn't, as they didn't need covers.
As she reached the other side of the wide, dark-blue-tiled hallway she heard her father speak to her.
"And you told him?" he asked. She didn't turn around to face him but still stopped.
"I told him that I had something important to do," she told him. "Which is very brief, but still true. There are many explanations for that."
The story checked out and she headed straight to room B1.
"Okay, here's your objective and your cover," one of the two men who were standing in front of her told her and he handed her a brown folder.
"Thanks JJ," Hillary told him and left.
She then sat down on a bench in the hallway and scanned it quickly.
She had to pose as a girl called Sophie and pretend to fall in love for the night with this man called Steve.
Great she thought. Just what I need. Another falling in love operation.
She sighed and went to have her make up done. She had to look her very best for this operation, as she had to be undercover at a very posh party.
Once she'd had her make up and clothing done she went to the armory to get her gun.
She walked upstairs and went to room B4. She wanted to talk to the man in charge of the guns, Scott, but he also did the shooting for the training and was currently working with a new recruit so she decided to leave them.
She scanned the wall where all of the armaments were kept until she spotted her sky-blue handgun.
She picked it up and checked the name "Hillary". It was hers so she loaded it and left.
/ I'm making this operation dead short
For this mission she had to pretend to fall in love with someone but then end up killing a lot of people with a set device.
I hate these falling in love missions Hillary thought as she walked down the slowly darkening street.
"You all right Hil?" her fellow operative asked.
She had to go with Catherine so she didn't look out of place.
"Fine," she replied as they entered the doorway of a small building.
The two bought some drinks and sat at a table chatting until a black-haired man approached them and began to chat "Hillary" up.
"I'm Sophie," she told him smiling, knowing full well that this was the man she needed for the operation.
She touched the collar of his shirt and, unknown to him, planted a tiny device into it.
"Sarah and I have to freshen up," she told him and the two under cover agents walked away.
Making sure he wasn't watching, they casually walked outside.
When they were at a safe distance they heard a loud bang from inside the building.
"What happened?" Hillary asked sounding shocked as the two agents turned to look at the building and people began to run out screaming.
"I don't know," Catherine told her but the two still walked off casually.
