Vi collapsed on her couch and flipped on the TV. Sounds of gunfire filled the air of her small apartment, Vi grimaced and turned the channel, a panoramic view of Alaska appeared on the screen. Vi sighed and turned the TV off. The phone rang and Vi jumped up to grab it.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hello honey." A woman's voice said.
"Hello Mother." Vi said.
"How are you, sweetheart? I called several times last week and it went to voicemail every single time." Her mother said. Vi sighed.
"I had to go out of the country." She explained.
"Oh," Her mother said. "Have you seen the news lately?" Vi bit her lower lip.
"No." She answered.
"It's all over the news, it has been for several days." Her mother said.
"What has, Mother?" Vi asked, beginning to get a sinking feeling in her gut. She knew what her mother was about to say.
"According to the news," her mother said in confiding tones. "A CIA agent betrayed another agent and almost got that agent killed." Vi closed her eyes and rested her head on the wall behind her.
"And they put that on the news?" She asked. Her mother half laughed.
"They declared it false but I think it really happened, don't you?" She asked.
"I don't know." Vi said, suddenly very tired. "Hey, I just got home from work, and I am really tired, do you think we could talk later?"
"Sure honey, take a nice hot shower and a nap and you'll feel better in no time." Her mother sounded disappointed.
"Love you Mother." Vi said.
"Love you Vi." Her mother said back.
"Bye." Vi said hanging up the phone.
She collapsed on the couch, tears coming fast. Of all the missions she had ever been on, why did this one have to end up in the news. She would never avoid it. Vi thought about the past week.
She had been that agent, the one that had been betrayed and almost murdered. The other agent had been one of her best friends, at least as far as friendships go in the CIA. She remembered the pain that had ripped through her when she realized that Monica had betrayed her.
Vi's puppy, Top Secret(Secret for short), climbed up into her lap and licked the tears running down her face.
"Oh, Secret." She moaned. "Why did she have to do that? Why?" The puppy looked at her with his large brown eyes and whined.
"I'm sorry, Secret, you haven't been fed this afternoon have you?" She pushed herself off the couch and with that motion pushed away the pain that she felt.
Violet was very good at that, pushing away pain. She should've been, she had been doing it all her life. She had always been teased about being adopted, taunted that no one wanted her. Her foster father had died in a car accident when she was 10 and not long after that she was sent to a private boarding school in the middle of nowhere. Her first boyfriend had left her for a pretty blonde after three years of dating, her second boyfriend had cheated on her three days after he had asked her to be his girlfriend. She had forgotten a text book in one of her college classrooms. When she walked into the abandoned room she found her boyfriend and her best friend standing in the middle of the classroom kissing. Vi broke up with him not long after. The only person who had remained constant in her life was her adopted mother, and she had never really understood Violet.
The sound of her cellphone ringing jolted Vi out of her thoughts. She glanced at the caller ID, it was her boss.
"Yes sir?" She asked.
"Change of plans Harding. You are to report to the briefing room in exactly 20 minutes, do you hear me?" He said. Vi's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Yes sir." She acknowleged.
"Good." He said. There was a click and the line went dead.
"Sorry Secret." She said dumping the dog food into his bowl quickly. "Got to go, duty calls."
Vi grabbed her purse, coat, and car keys. In less than a minute she was racing down the long country road that would take her to CIA headquarters.
