Three Days - Chapter 5
The American Secret Service - Headquarters.
He was finally back. Tom thought he'd be returnign with Huck, but it seemed that wasn't the case. Huck was never there anymore. Tom was dreading reporting back to his superior, and like before he just wanted it over and done with. He had brought back with him, the two Winchester Rifles. One was Huck's. As soon as Tom walked through the doors, his superior Inspector Dupin, was briskly walkign up toward him, intent on knowing how the mission went. He was suprised to see that Huck wasn't with him.
"Ah, Agent Sawyer.." He greeted "How was London, and the Mission?" He asked.
Tom sighed. It was best to break it to him slowly "Oh, London was good..at first.." He stated, trailing off a bit.
Inspector Dupin Frowned "what do you mean, at first?" He asked, wanting to know what was wrong.
"We.." Tom began, trying to sound strong "We lost Agent Huck Finn, Sir." He stated, looking down at the ground with guilt and grief.
Inspector Dupin looked furious and upset. He had as much training as Tom had, and yet he was still killed? "Outrageous..how idd this happen Agent Sawyer?" he asked. It seemed there would be a lot of questions needing answers.
Tom did'nt feel like wanting to tell the whole story, so he broke it down into a few simple sentences. "He was shot by The Fantom, sir. In the road. I tried to cross but there were horses and carriages blocking us. By the time i reached Huck he was dead, and The Fantom escaped. This was his, sir.." He stated, taking the still bloodied Winchester, and placing it before Dupin's eyes.
Inspector Dupin looked horrified at the news, and at the bloodied rifle. He knew that Sawyer and Finn were best friends since childhood, and it was only right that Tom kept the rifle, as a sign of rememberance. "Keep it, Agent Sawyer." He told Tom plainly, knowing how much it would mean to him.
"Are you sure? Thanks." Tom replied, a little suprised that his superior would let him keep the Service's weapon.
Dupin just nodded, then once again brought up the subject of The Fantom "Did you bring down The Fantom, Agent Sawyer?" He asked.
Tom shook his head "No sir, he got away, along with some Assasins who were told to chase us and kill one of us." He answered, feeling a bit guilty. He knew he should have killed the Fantom there and then. "but since the mission has to be re-assigned..could i have it? i'l lwork ten times harder than before, and i'm sure i can do better.." He asked rather hastilly, but understood if he could'nt have the mission.
The inspector thought for a moment, assessing Tom's skills and abilities. Yes. He could do better. "Alright..you have one week. That is all i am allowing." He replied, knowing that Tom would be thrilled to get the same mission twice. Though others would'nt allow it, they had to make an exception.
A long needed smile formed over Tom's lips as he got the Mission. "Thanks, sir." He said, before heading towards his Quarter's to take up the mission once more.
Two Days later...
"I cannot deny, the fortunes made in war.." The Fantom huskilly spoke, not noticing the Spy.
Tom had followed this gang of so called 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' which he had read about in the London papers. He was in this..Dorian Grays library, and he knocked out one of the Fantom's men, and took their place.
"He not wrong..heh." An Invisible man spoke out, it seemed he had a cockney Accent.
"Speak for yourself.." Gray emitted, his voice Suave and very debonair.
Tom watched the two gentlemen exchange sentences. His eyes glanced over at the other assasins, of whom were very familar, but he suddenly noticed a smokey outline. This wasn't another invisible man..it seemed more like a...ghost! Tom stared, the smoky outlines becomming clearer and more detailed. He recognised the boy instantly.
There stood the long gone Agent Huck Finn, almost standing beside Tom, and was holding the exact rifle he had. Huck simply grinned at Tom, before winking slyly and childishly at him.
Tom had turned almost ghost like himself with the shock of actually seeing a ghost. His eyes moved back to The Fantom, now wantign to avenge his death more than ever. He loaded the rifle, and fired, sending everyone into total chaos.
either he was seeing things, or that WAS a ghost.
Huck was still with him...
