Grant's POV
At the office one week later.
"Grant they are calling you in the Deputy Director's office." The nearby secretary alerted me. Thoughtfully I got up and headed to the mahogany door. The instant I walked in Townsend and a middle aged man, who is probably the director and someone lurking in the shadow behind the door.
"Agent Hale, I am Deputy Director Harmon." He said holding out his hand. "I am sorry it had taken a long time to meet the temporary visitors."
"Not to worry, Director." I confirmed formally; hoping there was something more to this get-together.
"Grant, Director Harmon and I have been discussing that you should have an additional legend from the CIA be member in your team." I thought about it but it's not like I am going to say no. "You're going to need all the help you can get."
"Well, of course." I said in unison with someone that was lurking in the room who had said. "I may be a legend but what's important is living."
I whipped around and guess who it was. Just guess. It was Joe Solomon, CIA's only living legend. Mathew Morgan, my dad, being the only one that is dead. If he's here, who's at Gallagher Academy I wondered.
"Now you must immediately inform Special Agent Solomon of all the future plans of yours and the Circle of Cavan's plans." instructed Director Harmon. "And keep me informed at all times."
I nodded my okay and gestured Joe to follow me. Once we were both out of the office I asked him. "What are you doing here?"
"You'll need all the help you can get." He offered no explanation. When we are back in the office the least I could do is introduce him to Jezebel. Whose odd are they already know each other being CIA and all.
"Jez this is-" She cuts me off with an "I know who he is." It's obvious she has never met Madame Dabney.
"Joe this is-" He guesses. "Elizabeth"
"This is Jezebel Green." I say with a rueful shake of the head "Come on we have to fill you in on everything. It's not much though."
Moments Later at Building's Basement
I turn around and lock the door to prevent any interruptions. "Look not much has happened so I'm going to sum it up quickly. The Circle of Cavan declared a covert war on MI6 because being here in the CIA; we dragged you into it too. They have attacked us once. Then we attacked again. They think, for some reason, Cameron knows too much. Knows what? No one knows. And now they want to kill her. Guess who get the honors of doing that? Me, I'm not going to do it, it's a fake attempt but, hey, at least my cover isn't blown."
She opened to her mouth to add something but then admitted "Yes, that's pretty much it."
"When are you going to are you going to do this 'attempt'?" He asked with air quotes.
"By the first week of May." I told him. "It's two months from now."
"Why so long?"
"He's buying us time to bring down larger parts of the Circle." Jezebel jumped in. "the more we take down the easier it'll be."
"Not necessarily." I said "The Circle of Cavan is a lot of things but their weakest point is coordination. If they were solo they'd be better."
"Exactly." Joe agreed. "But don't bring down to many people of the Circle of Cavan; it might raise suspicions. I have a plan."
Bex's POV
Not that this is important to mention but Madame Dabney has been very emotional lately. This was kind of why it surprised me and some of the students when she arrived five minutes late to class. Especially when she waits for us and we don't wait for her. Finally, she walks into the room and turns her face to us. And immediately starts crying. That's when I decided to ask her.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"Oh" Madame Dabney shook her head pulling out a handkerchief. "It's that time of years again."
Eva raised her hand and politely asked her. "What time of year would that be?"
"Darlings" she explained "it is the time of year where I realize how little time we are going to have together before you, as ladies and gentlemen, go your own paths. We only have two short months left."
Teachers are more attached to the students than we are to them. I'm dazed. I hadn't realized how little time left before we finished high school. We would all go to the CIA, FBI, MI6, Secret Service or maybe Interpol. And we Grant comes back. And the possibilities of us ever meeting again are perilously slim. A box of tissues was being passed around because Liz and Anna began to cry also. I looked behind me then remembered that Cammie wasn't with us today. She was out with food poisoning. Her mother's cooking.
"But we must not dwell on the negative now. We still have some material to recap. Ballroom dancing, something everyone should have down to perfection."
She paired us off. That is a lot to considering I ended up with Zach. Still, I can't interpret the word spoken to me next. It's shocking; since we were dancing no chaos was caused.
"Hello Rebecca."
"If you don't have anything useful to say don't say anything at all."
"I have useful things." He insisted "But tell me; what do you know about a person whose last name is Hale?" Grant.
"Can you get to the point?" I asked losing my patience.
"Yeah, Circle of Cavan started a covert war." I opened my mouth to ask on which agency but he cut me off. "Trust me you don't want to know about it."
He excused himself and walked away my mind was on overload. On who did the Circle of Cavan start a covert war CIA or MI6? And why would they do that?
Before I knew it class was over, so the first thing I did was head to Cov Ops class. And I ran into Cammie on my way there. on my way there.
"Did you know about Grant?" I say. "Hey, you're all better."
"Yeah, I knew and actually Ab-" She was cut off by a "Hi squirt."
Abby always had a strange effect on Cammie. It was like she was with her dad.
Does this make more sense? That last chapter was so messed up I just want you guys to ignore it. Hope this one was better. Anyway Review!
