Ch.18: Mission Part One

Lily stepped out into the cool night air. The tall, brown haired Benjamin Croft stood next to the light post and looked up.

"Good, you understood my PS." He said as he hugged her.

Lily smiled and looked up.

"How are you?" she asked calmly.

"Fine, we should go, Langston is expecting us."

"Okay. Lily and Ben aperated to the MI-5 headquarters, in London.

They passed through security and met with Damian.

"Hey guys welcome back, Langston is waiting for us, and we should go in." Ledford said as Ben and Lily entered the office.

They entered the board room and sat down at the round table.

"Hello everyone, let's get down to business." Langston said affirmatively.

"Alright, all of you are aware of who Rockwell is, he is the son of Monroe.

I hate to bring this event up Croft but I'll have to in order to explain . . ." Langston said looking towards Ben. Ben nodded with agreement.

'Rockwell three nights ago killed Mr. and Mrs. Croft. We have found out that Rockwell is indeed a Death eater and has sided with the dark lord."

"I'm sorry Croft." Ledford said in a soft tone.

"Thank you." Croft said softly now looking up.

Langston continued.

"We have found his location, Italy, Turin, Italy. We sent Burns out there last night, we some how lost his trace three hours ago. He called in the Italian secret service, they have started a search."

"Was anyone else with him?" Lily asked

"Yes agent Rider. His trace was also lost."

"We sent them out there to spy on a very important meeting taking place that involved the Dark Lord himself. . . "

"Why did you send Rider, he's not a wizard, he can't defend himself from a Charm of hex you know that." Ben exclaimed

"I' am aware of that Croft, but we had no other field agent."

"What about Lily or Me, even Ledford, he field trained."

"Evans had the week due to testing, you had family priorities to handle and Ledford was working on this case already trying to get the trace back."

"Yeah Family stuff because of someone." Ben muttered. Langston heard him and felt guilty once more.

"Look I need you and Evans to go to Turin tonight, the last place they were traced was at a small café in town. You both leave tonight, Ledford suit them up." With that Langston got up and left the room.

Ledford stood up and addressed them both.

"Alright Lily your fine in what your wearing, Ben you'll need to change into black as well. Alright in the café last detected were a crowd of death eaters and you- know – who. I have two. They are portal keys they will bring you back here incase of emergency. You both have your wands correct?"

"Yes" They both said.

"Alright, meet me back here I'll give you the rest of you equipment when you return."

Ben went to get changed while Lily talked with Ledford.

"Be care full Lily at the party they might have Mud hunters."

"Mud hunters?" Lily asked.

"Yes death eaters who specifically hunt down Muggle born witches and wizards, they obviously use the term Mud Blood. Be careful." Ledford explained. Ben returned in all black just like Lily.

"Alright here are your rings, and your ear pieces." Ledford said handing them their pieces.

"Ear pieces?" Ben asked.

"Yeah incase you get captured, I'll be able to talk to you both, to see where you are."

"Did you give, Burns and Rider these?" Lily asked

"Yes but some how they were dismantled when their line was cut off, but don't worry I cleaned them up so they can't be affected by magic, sort of like the hex proof vest I made only in ear piece form." Damian reassured them. Lily gave him a nervous look.

"C'mon the plane is waiting." Ben said.

They boarded the plane, three hours later they arrived. They got off the plane and headed to the café.

"Here we are." Lily said pulling out her wand.

"Don't pull it out yet, let's go to the back of the restaurant first."

Lily ignored his order and followed him closely to the back of the café, her wand tightly grasped in her hand at her side. They reached the edge of the wall and Ben looked over.

"Two guards, death eaters." He whispered.

"Where are they standing?" Lily asked in a low whisper.

"Next to a dumpster."

"I thought the meeting ended?"

"No, the time difference remember, so technically it's half way through."

"Oh"

Ben turned to Lily and pointed his wand at her. Suddenly her clothes had changed. She was wearing a tight, very tight red dress at knee length with fishnet stockings and stilettos.

"What are you doing?" Lily lipped shocked.

"Go over there and act like your interested in them, make a distraction." Ben mouthed back. Lily did not like this plan at all, but she went along with it, they couldn't waste time. Lily took her wand and stuck it in her hair; her hair had now changed to black silky curls. She stepped out from the alleyway. The two guards spun around and saw a beautiful young woman walk towards them. They looked at each other with curious eyes. One of the guards started to pull his wand out but was stopped by the other.

Lily began to speak Italian.

"Hello boys, cold night isn't it" She said in a seductive tone looking at each one with her bright blue eyes.

"Yes quite chilly." One of the guards said stepping forward.

Lily looked to the other one and smiled.

Ben looked over the edge and looked on to lily's distraction.

"Do you think you boys could do me a favor, I would very, very much appreciate it?" Lily said stepping towards the guards.

"What would that be miss." The tall one asked.

Lily looked up and smiled.

"Could you possibly grab me a cup of coffee from inside I could use some warming up."

The men looked at each other.

"I'm sorry miss but no one is allowed in, the café is closed."

"But the lights on – please?" Lily made a sad expression, which made the guards feel bad. Lily wasn't even a coat.

"What is your name?" The shorter man asked.

"The names Bernice, sweetie, now how about the Coffee?"

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Lily said to herself

The men turned away from her to decide. Lily looked to where Ben was standing. She winked at him, letting him know that he might have a chance to get in.

The guards turned back to Lily.

"Alright Miss, Jacobson will go in and get you the coffee." The taller man said.

"Oh could you both, I am a bit hungry, possibly a muffin could be brought out as well and I'd like you to choose it." Lily said with a smile.

The tall man looked to Jacobson.

"Well someone is supposed to stay guard here, make sure no riff- raff come in."

"Oh I'll do it I promise I won't let any one in. I swear." Lily offered.

The two men gave each other looks then turned back to Lily.

"Alright stay here, we'll go in." Jacobson said. The two men entered the shop. Lily turned to where Ben was and motioned him to come quickly over.

"Great distraction. Alright I'll go in, you get rid of those two and follow me in, be quiet though." He said Ben entered the shop quietly. Lily waited a few seconds till the men came back out. They stepped outside holding a cup of coffee and a muffin, blueberry.

"Here you go miss, nice and hot, be careful." Jacobson said as he handed her the coffee. Lily took it and said thanks.

"Here's the muffin you wanted I got you blueberry." He said with a smile handing it to her.

Lily looked down at the muffin then looked up.

"Blueberry?"

"Yes"

Lily's eyes turned dark and she threw the muffin down and splashed Jacobson with the scalding coffee. Jacobson cried out in pain. Lily pulled out her wand and petrified him, while she fan kicked the tall guard and knocked him out.

"I wanted Bran" She joked

"What the hell?" A tall dark haired man with long black robes said as he heard the commotion from outside.

"You two go see what that is." He commanded. Two death eaters left the room.

"Now as I was saying, I want the Potters dead." The dark Lord barked at his followers.

"I'm not happy with your work, they have fled from your grasps too many times, either get the job done or severe consequences will be made." He said is an angry and annoyed tone.

Lily heard men coming. She climbed on top of the café. (Was a little shop low roof, with snow covered on it, snow covered everything)

The two death eaters walked out side and saw the two men lying on the ground. They with drew their wands and scanned the area. They found nothing. Suddenly a beeping noise came from one of the death eaters. Lily's eyes widened.

"Mud blood" the death eater said he along with the other looked up. There on the roof was lily. Lily sprang up and jumped off the roof before they could hex her. She landed on the snowy ground and petrified one of them and managed to duck behind the dumpster. Lily then magically duplicated herself as an image. The death eater saw her and hexed the image, at that moment lily came out and petrified him and entwined him with ropes. Lily looked to the door she entered quietly. Suddenly Lily felt a hand grab her she spun around to see to her luck it was Ben.

"He pulled her to the side."

"They're upstairs, one's unconscious, the other dead." He said to her.

Lily's eyes started to prickle with tears.

"Which one?"

"Rider. Voldemort and his death eaters are in the main room. I think we can get Rider and Burns out of here."

"Good, let's set up the camera and Bug." Lily said as she wiped her eyes. She quickly changed out of the red dress and back into her black clothes with a flick of her wand

Lily and Ben made their way through the kitchen.

"I also want their son as well, but alive." Voldemort ordered. He stopped suddenly. A Ringing sound came from his pocket. He took out the ringing object.

"It seems we have a visitor, a mud blood." He said with an evil smile. He stood up and followed the beeping noise. The noise got louder as he reached closer to the mud blood. The death eaters followed him.

"You get Burns and Rider while I'll set up the bug and camera." Ben said

"No I'm not leaving you here while I transport them back." Lily said

"You're a greater . . ." Ben paused.

"What?"

"Get down." Ben pulled Lily to the ground and covered her mouth.

"Someone's coming." He said. He let go of her mouth.

Voldemort entered the kitchen with the death eaters at his heels.

"Hello?" He asked loudly.

"I know there is some one in here." He said. He walked forward a bit and stopped.

"Ah, I see that there is a wizard and a mud blood in here. Come out we won't hurt you, well at least not yet." He said with a snicker."

Lily could hear the beeping of the Mud blood detector; it was quickly beeping faster and faster as Voldemort walked towards them. Lily looked to Ben.

"Get your gun out" He mouthed. Lily's eyes widened.

Lily pulled her gun from its holster out carefully and quietly as best she could. She unlatched the safety which made all of the followers jumped.

Voldemort's eyed narrowed as he pulled out his wand. He motioned for his followers to do the same.

Ben then unlatched his safety on his gun and again the death eaters jumped.

"Show your self!" Voldemort exclaimed

"On three jump out, shoot and draw." Ben mouthed

"One, two," Ben began.
