What if Hailey and Jay met under different circumstances? - AU - Hailey Upton is one of the best CIA agents and Jay Halstead is a Ranger with the army in Afghanistan. When there's an attack on US soil Hailey is sent to Bagram Airfield to work with the Special Operations team where she meets Jay.

1. Chapter 1

"Timing"

It was a pretty normal day in Washington, DC, Hailey was out for lunch when everything starts going off the wheels, she got a call from the Vanessa saying that they received information about a bombing that was supposed to happen in the capital, nothing confirmed yet but they intercepted a call between two members of Almajmuea, one of the most wanted terrorist groups from Afghanistan.

Hailey was on her way back to the office when the bomb when off, she was a few blocks away from the explosion, but she knew it was bad, chaos was already installed in the entire city, so was at the CIA.

After 9/11 everything changed for US security system, there's been a strong anti terrorism protocol, they developed high technology softwares, weapons, all kinds of programs and even with all that information they can't prevent all the possible attacks.

*CIA Operations Office*

"We need to know everything about this, when they arrived, if they have family here, every step, every breath they took in American soil." Said Brennan. "We got the information about this bombing almost an hour ago."

Hailey walks to the other side of the room, standing by Vanessa's side.

"Vanessa, what the hell happened?"

"We don't know yet, everything seemed fine until it happened, after that call we start your security protocol but it didn't tip anything off."

"Upton" Brennan called her. "My office, please."

Here we go again. Hailey thought.
