Henry McCord looked outside the small window of the plane, he was on the flight to Paris. It was nighttime, which meant all he could see was darkness. Yet the darkness soothed him, it brought him peace and calm in his life. He was in his early thirties and had been working for the CIA past 10 years. Director Maxey had recruited him from personally right after graduating from UVA. Of course, this made his dad unhappy. He wanted Henry to follow his footsteps, but Henry had plans of his own. He was thankful for his mom and siblings, minus Maureen support. Although, his mom was starting to bug him when he was going to settle down. He dated a few girls here there in college, but no one caught his attention.
Henry put the whiskey down, thinking about the mission instead. He had succeeded every time, but this was different. He was going undercover and was supposed to gain trust of members who are criminals and have stolen millions of dollars.
Few hours in he arrived at his hotel and checked in. He arrived at the room, took a quick shower, and ordered room service. He took out the field and laid them all out to study the case. He looked at the pictures of each member, there were four of them in the gang. The leader, who went as "Tiger", which Henry though was a very odd name. There were two more members of the group, whose name CIA thought were Liam who seemed to be their hacker and IT person and there was Cleo, she semes to manage the money, making sure to put them in offshore bank accounts so one can trace it to them. Finally, there was Elizabeth, she is supposed to be his right hand, the mastermind behind how to execute every plan perfectly. He grabbed her picture and again that feeling crept up. Henry brushed of the feeling and focused on the event tomorrow. According to CIA analyst, they were going to be at this winter ball. The ball is supposed to have an auction as well, and one of the items is an expensive diamond necklace.
Henry laid out his suits for tomorrow night and practiced his cover story. They had decided to keep his first name, so it is not accidently spill it out, but his last name was Smith. Henry Smith.
