Beep. Beep. Beep.
'Right, Gracie, Michelle or Katie whosever that damn alarm is, TURN IT OFF!' I murmured, slowly growing into a shout at the end.
I heard giggling and low chuckling, so I opened my eyes. At first everything was hazy, but my vision slowly came back to perfect. Squinting slightly because of the bright light I saw four men and four girls, all looking at me.
De Ja Vu much?
'You know, some people find it creepy when they wake up to people staring at them, but me? No I'm used to it,' I smiled; admittedly it was a weak smile, but a smile none the less. Joe gently took my hand.
'Well, you are quite a... unusual person, and, sadly, sometimes I mean in a bad way,' he teased. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
'Rude,' I stated plainly. He just winked at me.
'Look, this is all very touching but could we please get Lucy out of here, it really does stink in here,' Gracie moaned then widened her eyes, 'not that I meant you Lucy! Just you know...' I laughed.
'No, don't worry I just thought it was Matt,'
Matt, who was currently staring out of the window, snapped out of his day dream at the sound of his name.
'What?' he said quickly as he realised we were all looking at him. We all started laughing which made him turn bright red.
Spy genius indeed...
'Will Agent LaFleur and Agent Solomon please make their way to the director's office, thank you,' an electrical voice called over the intercom at the CIA.
It had been two months since my leg injury and I was now fully back on my top form. My mission with Joe had been postponed until my leg had recovered.
I stepped up from my desk in my office and headed out towards the Director's office, which was quite close. In the CIA, you have a ranking order. The top spies are the closest to the director's office, and the rookie's are the furthest away from the director's office. If you are at the bottom, you have to work your way up. Joe and I are the youngest members in the top section of the CIA, but we don't show it. We don't brag or show off. We keep low and only get heard about from our missions.
On the way down to the director's office I passed Michelle. I grinned at her.
'What's a rookie like you doing in the top spy section eh?' I teased. She laughed.
'Oh, just, you know... receiving my first mission!' Said giddily.
'Oh! Congratulations! We will have to have cake later,' I said seriously, well cake IS a serious matter.
'Definitely,' Michelle said just as serious.
'Okay, I have to go; I don't want to be late for the big man!' I joked, using the name that everyone in the top section uses for the director. Michelle laughed and walked off and I turned down the corridor. I just got to the door when Joe came up beside me. I knocked on the door.
'Just one minute!' A voice called out from behind the door. I didn't reply but instead turned to Joe.
'Haven't seen you since... oh wait this morning,' I said jokingly. Joe laughed.
'I know! Long time know see! How are you!' he replied, playing along with it.
'Oh you know the usual. I bumped into Michelle, who just got her first mission; let's hope your training comes into action!' Joe sighed.
'Yeah, let's hope,' I grinned just as the door was opened to an urgent looking director.
'Good Morning sir,' Joe and I both said.
'Good Morning, I'm sorry nut I will have to make this quick, something urgent has just come up,'
Both Joe and I nodded. We followed the director in and sat down. Here the director took us through the mission and explained our covers. I was a French woman, who was going on holiday skiing with my 'partner' Joe. When we get to the Alps, we have to track down a German man, by the name of Benjamin Hathaway, who was transporting illegal goods through France back into Germany.
'I'm sorry this meeting had to be so short, but I am in a hurry today, here are your covers to give a bit more detail, you leave tomorrow at 6:50 AM,'
We both nodded and stood up to leave.
'Agent LaFleur?' I spun round.
'Yes sir?' Joe was stood waiting in the doorway.
'How's the leg?' The director asked, smiling.
'Good as new,' I said whilst smiling back.
I hope you liked it, it isn't as long as usual, but I thought for now it's okay.
Review!
