I DO NOT OWN NOTHING.


He loved french cigarettes. It made him feel like he was back in Mombassa. And for most strangely it sounded, he feel something strange on his back. No one was following him until he was inside his flat. His nose could sense her fragance. He remembered it perfectly.

"I guess there's no need to turn on the lights"

Dominique was lying in his leather couch, with two scotches in her hands.

"The last time I saw you, you were off drinking-"

"That was a long time ago, remember? What are you doing here? How did you break into my flat?"

The woman nodded at him, and smiled. The forger turn on the lights, and saw her smiling at him. Dominique walked until they were a few milimetres away. She gave him a quick kiss on his cheek, leaving on him red lipstick.

"I came here to talk about business Eames. Nothing more... nothing less"

He sat in front of her, and lit a cigarette. He knew perfectly that she was working for Smith. The only thing he didn't knew for sure was if she had been sended by him, or if she was there by his own.

"Business. I don't remember you talking about business, you see. You always liked to-"

"I see you haven't changed, dear. I can say you know what I'm going to talk about, but you're unsure, aren't you?"

"Do enlighten me"

She dropped a piece of paper with an inscription on it. Eames saw it, and burned it with his cigarette, never breaking the eye contact with her.

"I know the bloody pay"

She laughed loudly, enjoy seeing him there after years. It was clear that there was a tense air between them. The forger just finished his cigarette and stared at her. She was the same woman he used to remember from years ago. The only thing that changed on her was a few wrinkles in the skin of her face, but her essence was still the same.

"I know who you are Eames. You love money, you love adrenaline, you love forge people into dreams, and you love the complicated jobs. This one is perfect for you, I can assure you that"

He finished his drink, but when he tried to reply her, she kiss him fiercely. He never rejected her, but he never put a hand over her body.

"What If I say no?"

He asked almost without thinking, and she grabbed her purse from the couch and walked to the door.

"If you say no- If you two say no, you won't see her alive"

She closed the door quietly and disappeared into the night.


OMG it's been ages since I updated! I'm so sorry, really. But I had clouds in my mind... And University is being a bitch... My english classes are being a bitch too... And the winter doesn't help.

Question: Did you see 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' trailers? Can't wait to see the movie! The worst thing is that I don't know when is going to be the premiere here in Argentina :(

Someone had noted a line from the 'Tinker Tailor...' trailer in this chapter? If you did, review and tell me :)
