"Jessie, check in at Thierry's office NOW!" a speaker blared in the Las Vegas mansion. A tall dark-haired girl in the weapons room looked up with her crystallized ebony eyes. She sighed; this sigh caused a laugh to come out of the only other person in the room. A blonde haired green eyed young man smiled at her.
"So," He said. "What did you do this time, Jessie?"
"I didn't do any thing and you know it, Galen." She sighed again. "I just hope I don't get set out on another mission. I just got back from the last one."
"Well you had better be going you know how much Thierry hates to be kept waiting." Galen gave her a straight faced look but she could see his mouth crinkling at the corners.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Hey do me a favor and have you soulmate wait for me so we can duel again, since we haven't in a while."
"Will do." Jessie walked out of the room and slowly walked to Thierry's office. It took her all of fifteen minutes. When she got there she knew that this was not going to go good, because Thierry's soulmate Hannah was in there. Jessie walked into the room and quietly sat down. Thierry looked up at her then up at Hannah. When he looked back at Jessie ha spoke quietly.
"I know you just got back but we have to send you out again because every other agents that we have sent have not come back." Thierry stood up and handed Jessie a file. Inside were three pictures of three different couples. Jessie didn't know any of these people yet still she felt that sad, eye jerking feeling which always made her mad. Six lives had been wasted; three sets of soulmates had died. "All we know about the subject is that his name is Devon. So you need to gather information, report back, sit in on a meeting where the information will be passed on and a decision will be made. Then depending on the decision Silver Starr might have to later on go and kill him."
"What is my enticement? Anything special this time?" Jessie grinned because she knew Thierry hated the fact that she wouldn't work unless she could steal something. Hannah looked up and smiled at her.
"Well this time you get to choose. Find out the information about him and you'll find out about his antiques then you can have your choice." Hannah spoke this time because she knew how much Thierry hated it too. But Hannah thought it was resourceful.
"Okay." Jessie said. She got up and walked out leaving Hannah smiling after her and Thierry gritting his teeth. She walked up to her room packed the stuff the she would need, went to the lobby, talked Lupe into giving Galen and Keller a postponement message, then she walked out into the heavy Las Vegas air.
… … …
Three nights later after talking to several of her she walked into a bar called The Silver Blood. She had been told that Devon visited this place quite often and that he was going to be there tonight. She walked in wearing a black dress, that was low on the front and went to about mid thigh with a slit that went up on one side even higher, the sleeves covered her arms and her hands completely. She walked in a couple steps but couldn't go any farther, there was that many people. She pushed her way threw the press asking every few people if Devon was here the answer was always no. By the time she got to the bar she hadn't seen or heard anything about Devon. He obviously wasn't going to show tonight, so after about three drinks she left.
