Chapter 1: Cover blown
High above the city of shanghai, on one of the high rise buildings there was a party in full swing leading late into the night. Many of the richest mafia men have gathered to celebrate their international business with each other. Most of the men have brought their trophy wives who are ignorant of the dealings that are transpiring between the men. Champagne was flowing, music was blaring, hired women dancing in clear plastic cage wearing next to nothing and conversations was heard everywhere. But there was one woman on the sidelines; she was trying to find one specific Chinese man, Zhou Jiang.
This woman was special agent Alexandra Jameson better known Alex, code name enigma, and assistant director at S.H.I.E.L.D. She was trying to take down this Chinese man Zhou Jiang as Eva Martinez. He had been on shields radar for a while and it has taken months of hard dedicated work to reach the point of her mission she has reached. Months of infiltrating minor gangs to reach the big bosses at the top. And now she was so close to completing the mission, all she needs is to get Zhou Jiang alone to confess what he does but acting like she needs to be apart of the deal.
Zhou Jiang, he is in the business of under age female sex trafficking. Normally shield would not have bothered in the slightest and just left it to the police but they got wind that he was exploiting under age female mutants against their will. And because Alex herself has a few mutations of her own she felt the need to help bring this sick bastard down.
This brings her back to the edge of the party looking for the man in question. She had it on good authority that he likes the colouring green and that is why she is sporting this little emerald green silk number. Luckily the building they are on is owned by Zhou Jiang and is the gracious host of tonight's festivities.
Looking around she notices that he had just finished up talking to a couple of his body guards and walks over to one of the waiters to pick another glass of the expensive champagne up and takes a sip. Seeing that a few other business men have gathered around him to talk further business with him, she heads on over. Just before she sprays herself with Coco Mademoiselle and walks straight passed the men to get their attention. Reaching the table of amuse bouche, she looks over her shoulder to find the men have stop their conversation to look over at her. The twinkle in Zhou Jiang eye didn't go unnoticed by her and sees that he is leaving the men to head her way.
She quickly starts looking at the array of food that has been put on show. Picking up a spoon that has what looks to be a cube of citrus cured tuna with miniature cubes of cucumber, julienne spring onions and a marinade of hoi sin and plum sauce. Sensing that Zhou Jiang is now standing next to her watching her moves, she intimately places the spoon of tuna in her mouth and wraps her lips around the spoon. With a hum of appreciation she extracts the spoon and begins to chew on the explosion of flavours that are having a party on her taste buds.
Out the corner of her eye she notices that he twitches with sexual excitement "you must be the most exquisite of creatures I have the pleasure to lay my eyes on" he says breathlessly with a Chinese accent and excellent English. Swallowing her mouthful she turns to the China man slowly and licks her lips in satisfaction he was hooked "I'll take that as a compliment, Mr….." replies with a slight Mexican twang, cheeky grin and holding her hand out "Jiang, Zhou Jiang and you are…" he take her hand and brings it up to his lips to kiss her knuckles "Martinez, Eva Martinez" she answers "well Eva, this party has gotten dull, how about we take it somewhere… private" Zhou suggestively suggests "it would be my pleasure". Taking her arm and places it in the crook of his elbow he leads Alex to the roof elevator.
Taking the car down to the penthouse suit of the building Zhou Jiang walks Alex to the open plan area that has floor to ceiling windows that looks over the brightly lit city below, they looks as thou they are in the process of being replaced, "forgive the chill in the air I'm having the windows replaced with X-ray reducing windows… would you like a drink" he asks moving over to an in-house bar "sounds lovely, ill have a slow comfortable screw" she replies just as suggestive as his earlier question. Hearing an under the breath growl she smirks. Watching him prepare her cocktail and his two finger measurement of bourbon, she scopes the place in-between glances.
Bringing both of the drinks with him he starts the conversation "so what is a beautiful creature such as you doing at a party like this" he probes her motives, taking her drink for him she replies "I'm trying to further my business and I heard you're just the man I need to do it, I thought I should grab your attention before some of the other vultures got their talons in you" making sure she put the emphasis on need. Both are now sitting on the pristine white couch "that depends on what your business is" Zhou asks placing a hand on her thigh and rubbing it up and down "I'm in the business of running a school for orphaned girls… but this is just a front to keep the Mexican police sweet, but in reality we trade these girls to men… If you understand what I mean, but lately there's been I higher demand of certain types of girls and I heard you're the man to help" Alex explains rubbing her hand on his thigh higher than necessary, he looks to be listening but the twinkle in his eye suggests his mind's in the gutter.
Reading his mind in this moment would make anyone run away from this sexual predator, but this mission is too important. Zhou takes Alex by the waist and brings her nearer "and I suppose you would like me to provide these certain girls" he whispers in her ear in between kisses and sucks to her neck "indeed… as partners in business…" she runs her hands through the greased up hair of the man and lightly scratches his scalp, to which he lets a little growl out "say I do supply these mutant girls… what do I get" he looks into Alex's eyes and that was a confession shield have been waiting for "anything" kiss "you" kiss "want" she ends with a long kiss "I suppose we can make a deal" Zhou returns to her neck.
In that moment Alex's work phone decided to ring "sorry" she says to him looking at her phone, the display says Phillipa, she groans "who's Phillipa" Zhou asks running his fingers on the edge of her underwear beneath her dress "just a work colleague, I need to take this, sorry" getting up and walking to the windowless windows "yes Phil" she asks answering her phone "we need you to come in" "what are you kidding I'm working" "this takes precedence" looking back over to Zhou Jiang she sees one of his body guards are whispering in his ear whilst he Zhou had his beady predator eyes on her. She looks back round to look a the glowing city "I'm in the middle of getting a confession and this bloody moron wont keep his filthy hands of me" she feels Zhou's presence behind her "you cant pull me out of this I'm nearly done" Alex stresses "Alex Barton's been compromised" she stood up straight to this notion "let me put you on hold".
Lowering her phone she turns back to Zhou Jiang to see him standing to close for comfort with a livid look in his eye "I'm sorry it seems I have to resche…" before she has the chance to finish her sentence Zhou interrupts "so shield thought they can put a rat into the nest to bring me down" he growls grabbing tightly to her upper arms "I have no idea what you are on about" she feigns ignorance "drop the act I know who you are agent, you've been ratted" this was an unexpected turn of events suppose she has to get out of his "well I've got what I came for anyway" she says dropping the accent and about to kick her way out of the hold but before she knew it she was being pushed out the windowless window with the echo of 'bye bye' from Zhou Jiang's mouth…
please let me know how this first chapter is, it was an idea I had for ages and started to play around with my ideas and finally came up with this as a first chapter
