A/N: So, I thought of this plot line last night, let me know what you think! I will try my best to make it interesting!
Chapter 1:
Henry McCord was walking down the street of Washington D.C. The cold air hitting his face, he stuffed his hands in his pocket to try and keep warm. He stepped into the Langley Building, the CIA headquarters. He pressed the top floor button and walked down the hall to the director Maxey office.
"Henry come in; we have been waiting for you".
Director Maxey was in his mid-fifties, and in the CIA for over thirty years. He shook Henry's hand and introduced the rest of the team in the room, and everyone settled.
'Sir, may I asked why I have been called in all of a sudden"? asked Henry.
Director Maxey nodded to the person in charge of the presentation. There where were pictures of a man, tall with black hair, who looked like he was in his mid-fifties, he seemed to always wear a hat and sunglasses, as if always hiding. The pictures were captured from cameras on the streets across the world.
Director Maxey turned to Henry "This is the leader of the famous crime syndicate, known as The red lotus. The leader calls himself "Tiger". Him and his team have robbed millions of dollars from banks and artifacts across the world. And this..is his best agent, his right hand, based on our intelligence, we think her name is Elizabeth, no background story ever found, her first name is the only thing we know"
The pictures shift to a woman, in her late 20s, Henry suddenly felt a strange feeling came across him, the woman had blonde hair, the images were not clear, she was always wearing sunglasses in her pictures, except one, it looked like she had blue eyes maybe.
Henry turned to look at the director "Sir, why am I being briefed on this, shouldn't a different branch, like FBI be in charge of this"
"Henry we need someone with excellent analytical skills who can observe a person and know who they are by just looking at them, you are our best CIA agent and you have training in combat, we want you to infiltrate the team, pretend you are one of them, it's the only way to capture them".
Henry without hesitation agreed to the mission. This was his passion after all, and he would never turn down an opportunity to serve his country.
"Very well, you will be meeting with Agent Martinez, he will go over all the details with you and your cover story. We have information, the red lotus will be in Paris for the winter ball. You leave for Paris in a week".
Everyone got up from the table and left, Henry stayed a few more minutes, staring at the blonde hair woman, he couldn't make out her features exactly, the picture was a little a blurry.
"Elizabeth.." He whispered
