Chapter Six:
Confidential
Another well-done mission, on a different day.
Alex made the walk from the casino to the rendezvous point. He climbed the stairs on the conference building and found himself on the roof, on a helipad.
"Lily!" Alex spoke into his micro-phone. "I'm at the rendezvous point. Ready for pickup."
Alex could hear her laughing.
"You sound like I have forgotten you," she said. "On the way."
After a few minutes, the helicopter came from out of no where and slowly landed on the helipad.
Alex wasted no time as he hopped into the helicopter and sat down.
"Let's get out of here!" said Alex.
"Lady and Gentleman, this is your Captain Lily speaking. We are inbound for CIA headquarters, where we will hand over all of our hard work to our boss and make him look like a hero. So, buckle up and enjoy the ride... while it still lasts."
Alex laughed at her joke and closed eyes to rest.
The helicopter began to lift off the helipad and flew away into the darkness ahead.
After a while, Alex got bored and decided to look through the files that were in his hands. He knew that it was big time illegal for what he was doing, but he wants to know what was so important these files in the first place.
All of them were nothing more than secret contracts with other agencies around the globe. Nothing special.
Then... Alex came to the last one. The name of it got his attention.
Project: Pandora.
Confidential! Eyes-Only!
Just the name of it made Alex curious. What was Project Pandora? Was this what the CIA wanted to remain hidden?
Slowly, Alex began to open the cover of the file.
"We're here!" Lily said. "Have 'em files ready!"
Alex forgot about the file and stacked it ontop of the pile right next to him.
When the helicopter was on the ground, Alex jumped out and waited as Lily joined him. Together, they went inside, where Joe Byrne was waiting.
"Well-done, Alex!" Joe nearly yelled. "I knew we could count on you to do the right thing!"
Alex just made a nod towards him and said nothing.
A man-in-black took the files from Alex and made off with them.
Alex took one last look at the Pandora file as it disappeared from sight.
Another mystery unsolved! Alex thought to himself.
Joe took out a cell phone from his shirt pocket and gave it to Alex.
"What is this for?" Alex put the cell phone into his left pocket.
"It's your new one," Joe responded. "Sabina destroyed the one back at home."
Alex's eyes got big. Sabina did this?
"Why did she do that?"
Joe mad shrug and said, "Don't know. The camera on the phone showed her checking into it and then smashing it up. I think she might have figured it out that you are a spy again."
Alex hit himself on the forehead.
"Great!" he said almost too loud. "Another problem to handle... and the day hasn't even started yet!"
Joe smiled at him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Things will work out!" he said with encouragement. "The van is outside, waiting to take you home."
Alex turned to Lily and shook her hand.
"Pleasure working with you," he said. "I hope that we cross paths again."
Lily made a wink and said, "Me too. See you around, Alex." She left after that.
Alex got changed back into his ordinary clothes and went outside to the van. As he was being driven home, Alex began to wonder how he was doing to deal with this thing with Sabina.
I am soooooo dead! he said to himself.
OHHHHHHHH! I cannot wait to get to the scene with Alex and Sabina! That is when the real emotion picks up! The whole deal with Area 51 will come into play here in a little bit! Just stay with me on this! Story needs to develop as it goes along!
