Present Day
Lela shook herself out of the dream and pulled herself out of bed. Another day, another mission. Strangely, however, as she logged on to her laptop, she realized there were no missions yet. Odd considering by this time she normally had at least three. Just to make sure she glanced at the clock. It was already seven am. It was very unusual for her to not have received any messages from Omi this late in the morning…
Omi was the director of the company, but no one ever really saw him. Most of the time you received your orders by email. Of course, if it was really important, you would receive a visit from Andi. Andi was the only person who ever saw Omi. When Andi came to visit you not only received your assignment but also one hell of a migraine. Lela inwardly grimaced at the thought of Andi. There had NEVER been a more perverted man on the face of the planet. Interrupting her thoughts was a knock at the door. She opened it expecting to see Andi; instead Ellie greeted her. (Her real name was Eleanor but if you called her that you wouldn't live very much longer.)
"Morning E. Why so gloomy?" She asked
"Morning L…We happen to have a meeting with Andi in ten minutes…"
"Aw, man. Why this early in the morning?" Lela visibly wilted.
"All that Jess told me was that Andi said something about a group assignment."
"That's odd…I've never heard of a group assignment… Must be someone really high up on the to-do list, huh?"
"Must be, but the meetings in five minutes, so you might want to get dressed…unless you'd like Andi to see you in that."
Lela glanced down at her silk cover up that barely covered anything up and the slammed the door.
C level, Block A, Room 3
Lela sat down next to Codi. Across from them sat Ellie and Jess. The only other chair at the table was empty. The clock ticked loudly.
"AH! Where is Andi! He's twenty minutes late!" Ellie stood up angrily. "I am tired of waiting!" Elli made a move towards the door just as Andi walked through it.
"Oh, Andi." Ellie sat back down.
"Sorry for being so late but another briefing ran overtime…" Andi sat down casually. "You look lovely this morning, Lela."
Lela inwardly twitched and pulled her sweater up higher.
"Anyway, here are the targets. They're leaders of a drug ring. They're meeting tonight. We want you to take them out by then. They are extremely dangerous, hence having two teams together…"Andi stood up. "Well, good luck. Lela, call me."
Lela outwardly twitched as he left the room. Elli opened up the folder and began to read out loud.
"Reese Sterling and Kaz Harvey… They look easy enough…"
"Looks can be deceiving…"Codi replied.
"You know…you can tell a lot about a man by the way he dies…"Lela smiled
That's chapter two…I've currently got writers block, so I have no idea when the next chapter will be updated. Please R&R.
