Bex's POV
After a long day of Cov Ops I felt anxious; not tired. Why? Because after seeing that man talking to the Circle of Cavan, it made me start thinking about the reason Grant left. Then that lead me to the fact that it has been exactly one year since he told me 'See you in a year.' This was on May 12 last year. It made me wonder if the covert war was holding him back. I decided to reach into my closet and pull out the bundle of notes he mysteriously left me. I read them deliberately, slowly as I paced across the room. The notes brought me peace. Yet I smiled at the 'see you soon', apparently not soon enough. Then my smile fell because he wrote 'keep Cammie safe' 'in deep trouble' Grant was giving me clues that something bad would happen. And it only took me six months to put it together. A pang of sadness made my cry. The door creaked softly and the chatter of the freshman entered the room.
"He's supposed to be back by now shouldn't he?" At first Cammie was confused when she came in. Until she answered "Yeah, well supposed to." Then she asked gingerly "Are you ok?" I just shook my head. "No not really. He's late and late means complications, mistakes and errors…" I drifted off at all the possibilities. "You know for all we know he might be coming back tomorrow." She told me as she sat down on her bed. And then she began to start talking, talking and talking; babbling basically; it is what she does when she gets nervous. "I think you might overreacting, no offense."
"I think I love him." I whispered as the last tears streamed down my cheek. Some things you do not realize until you say them aloud; I thought when I saw Cammie's eyes grow wide in surprise. It was her turn to say something.
"Really?"
A grin greeted my mouth. "Something tells me you miss him too."
"He's like a brother to me." Two hours of silence with sorrow in the air…
Attention! To prevent any future confusion Cammie just said LIKE a brother. She doesn't know he's the real thing ok? :D
The light from the rising sun danced carefully on the bed. And when I went to check the clock it said six thirty in neon green color. "We better get ready." I tell Cammie without waking up Liz and Macey. "We have a Cov Ops final in less than an hour"
Grant's POV
It was a sleepless night filled with tossing and turning. But now it's morning; I wonder if I'll get my one phone call. The one they always promise to give you so that you hopefully get 'bailed' but at this rate Maybe not. I hear the jangling of keys at a distance.
"Good you are awake. Now you are free." Jezebel slid open the doors.
"What the hell happened?" I was still pissed off; the fact that I had to waste the night in jail.
"The Deputy Director of CIA saw you fight along with the agents you rescued from the Circle of Cavan. He was clueless, he did not know about you being our double agent, about our missions. OUR MI6 Director should have filled him in. Anyway he thought you went rogue or something." she then snapped "do you know how hard it was to bail you out. I hope you had a good night sleep because we are going to need all the energy we can get."
We strode to the armory where Jezebel's assembled team waited for us. They are the ones who will be working with me. I dialed the nearby phone, obviously designed to blow up after I'm done, to call Mrs Goode and make sure they were ready for today. It rang once.
"Hello." she spoke firmly.
"It's Grant" I said "do you have my crew ready? Because I'm on my way."
"Yes. It was disappointing to see Zachary go the good way. But you've been a blessing." I hung up on her before she could finish. And smashed the phone at the wall.
I felt the eyes lingering me. Then I explain to everybody in detailed instruction what to do and when to do it. They all dispersed their own ways and I went mine. So I arrived at the heliport; a sea of two hundred people waited for me.
"Today you are the boss." Mrs Goode pats my back when I walked towards them. "But I won't stay out of your way. Plus, don't mess up."
"Do not worry." I merely laughed. Then I face the agent "Alpha and Beta team, both of you stay on the north and west side of the building. Charlie team you area with me."
I mounted the helicopter. They followed close behind. I stared out the door; we took off. Thirty minutes later the pilot speaks.
"Target is in sight." Target: A.K.A Cammie
It's show time I thought.
I already have the next chapter written I just want to create suspense.
