Remi

There were a thousand thoughts bouncing around in my mind, Kurt didn't want to give details about what they needed from me, so I stayed quiet and pretended to sleep most of the way. I saw that he also slept a little and sometimes talked to Edgar discussing something related to work that I couldn't pay much attention to. I confess that I was startled to see him in front of me in the shelter house where we were. We hadn't seen each other in a few years, and he didn't even know a lot of things that had happened to me in all that time, and even I didn't know about him, he was probably with Allie and they should be getting married soon. I tried to push those thoughts away and tried to get some sleep.

After a night of travel we arrived in NY, I was not very tired, as my body was used to being active for hours without rest. It was already morning and we went straight to the FBI headquarters, which I was surprised because I didn't know that Kurt and Edgar worked there. I was even more surprised when I found Patty, Natasha and Rich together in the same room with two women, one of them, dark and very beautiful, must have been in her thirties, the other black and very elegant was already over forty-five. I remained standing as soon as I went through the door, because I didn't know how to act with all those people studying me at the same time.

- Sit down, Remi. - The pretty brunette spoke to me.

- Call me Jane, please. - I asked in a low voice.

- Jane? But ... - Kurt intervened. - Did you change your name?

- Look here, I will not say anything about me until someone explains everything that is happening and why I am here! - I spoke a little louder than intended.

- Please sit. - The older woman indicated a chair to me.

We settled down and she introduced everyone in the room, I was a little surprised by the occupation of each one and also intrigued by meeting practically all of them and being gathered in the same place for a supposed task force in which they said I had a very important role.
The beautiful brunette named Nas, started to explain what the purpose of all this was. They had intercepted important information that indicated that my adoptive mother, Ellen Briggs, was part of a terrorist organization that planned attacks on various parts of the world, she gave an example of some places that I did not even imagine, but guaranteed that they were designed by that organization which she named Sandstorm, the head of the organization was called Shepperd and they were not sure if it was Ellen.

- Remi, we need ...

- Jane, please call me Jane. - I intercepted the woman's speech. - I changed my name to Jane Doe when I left because some things happened ... - I interrupted my speech and looked at Kurt who was looking at me curiously. - I didn't want to bond with my family anymore, I just made some contact with Roman, sometimes and I believe that's how you found me. So I don't understand the meaning of all this since I haven't been with them for almost three years.

- Jane, nós precisamos que você se infiltre na Sandstorm para nos ajudar a descobrir o que estão planejando, pois, as últimas conversas que conseguimos interceptar de membros deles falava em algo muito grande e precisamos impedir.

- E por que você acha que eu ajudaria? – A desafiei.

- Eu gosto de você. – Ela falou em meio a um sorriso. – Você vai nos ajudar, ou poderá acabar presa por alguns delitos que cometeu, inclusive por falsa identidade.

- Você não faria isso! – Murmurei entre dentes.

- Acredite ela faria. – Kurt interviu.

Parei por um minuto e fitei cada um na sala, todos mostravam expectativa pela minha resposta. Eu fiquei um pouco confusas e apesar de Ellen ter me criado eu não sentia que devia nada a ela e se ela estava planejando algo tão grande e perigoso eu poderia ajudar a impedir.

- Tá, e por onde começamos? – Senti que todos soltaram um suspiro aliviado diante da minha resposta. – Mas ainda tenho uma condição.

- Fale, Jane. – Mayfair pediu.

- Roman. I want him on our side, promise me that they will not arrest him and will accept him as help in the task force. I know him, he has potential, he just needs a chance.

- But we don't know if he will want to change sides. - Nas seemed suspicious of my request.

- I'm sure so, I just need a chance with him.

- We can try, the boy is young and has the potential to change. - Kurt asked and held my gaze for a few seconds making me shiver inside with his attitude.

- It's all right. We'll let you try. - Nas agreed.

A plan was drawn up for how I would get to Ellen's house, I knew she must have moved, but I had a phone number to contact them in an emergency and I would use it, then I would find them and ask asylum, and would try to pass on the necessary information to the task force every day.
- This seems very risky to me. - Kurt expressed his opinion. - And if they find out Jane could end up dead.

- I want to try. We need to stop them! - I said categorically.

Edgar

It all seemed very crazy. I had not yet digested the whole plan and was very tired from the trip and all the information. We started everything the next day after taking a break. When I left the room Natasha was waiting for me at the end of the hall. She was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest and an enigmatic expression. It was beautiful, even with the usual clothes, I saw a sparkle in her eyes and stopped when I got close.

- What's up? - She started. - How was the trip? He became a hero because he managed to bring Remi. - She smiled as she spoke.

I smiled and ran my hands through my hair a little embarrassed. - Anything. I didn't even go alone. - I justified trying to be humble.

- I know, but I wanted to congratulate you for that. - She let go of her arms by her side and stood very close to me.

- Thank you. - I mumbled.

Natasha brought her face close to mine and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I closed my eyes for a second to absorb his scent and the contact of his lips on my face. She walked away and I looked deeply, she had a little red face, perhaps because of the impulse of what she had just done.

- Tasha ... - I mumbled.

- Go home and rest, tomorrow we'll talk. - She poked my arm and walked away leaving me there as if nothing had happened. I couldn't understand this woman at all!
