I woke up at 5:30 French time. Lucy was still sleeping peacefully. So I left her there, not wanting to disturb her.

Swinging my legs out from out of the covers, my bare feet came into contact with the cold, bare wood. I stood up and stretched, feeling better after a good sleep after that long flight. I moved silently to the window, were I gently opened the glass door to the balcony, Lucy wakes up at the slightest noise, so I don't want to wake her. After all, it's not often she doesn't get up at precisely 5:30, and seeing she goes to bed at about midnight, you can imagine she doesn't get the greatest night sleep.

I opened the door a crack and slipped through. A rush of cold air greeted me, but I didn't shiver. It was nice, refreshing. Quickly enough I felt the sun gently warm my face. I looked out across the view. It was beautiful; honestly, the CIA couldn't have got us a better view even if they tried.

Our room gave us full view of the mountain which, at the moment, lay peacefully in the sun. Its icy slopes soon to be covered with mad skiers and snowboarders. I myself am hoping to get a bit of snowboarding in and I know Lucy likes to ski. But, of course, the mission is always first.

Below me I heard a whistling, leaning over I saw a man shovelling snow. I smiled; it reminded me of when i used to help my dad to shovel snow. We lived in the Austrian Alps, and when the snow came I couldn't wait to help my dad shovel snow first thing and then straight out on the slopes to snowboard. Even when I was only five I could snowboard better than most grown adults, my dad was a professional snowboarder, and he was an instructor...

I abruptly stopped myself from thinking about my family. Although they were good memories, they just bring along the bad ones.

Behind me I heard Lucy stir slightly, and then roll over. I looked over my shoulder at her and smiled. Even with that scary bed head of hers, she was truly beautiful. She opened her eyes and saw me looking at her, she smiled sleepily.

'Mornin' sleepyhead, better get up soon, big day ahead,' I whispered softly, stepping back into the room and closing the door. She nodded, and then grinned.

'I bagsie first shower!' I opened my mouth in protest, and started to run, no sprint to the bathroom. But Lucy was already there and by the time I got there, I had a door slam in my face, and if it hadn't been for my expert skills I would have a broken nose by now.

'Damn!' I said in between my laughs. See, with Lucy you have to get first, otherwise she will be in there forever. From the other side of the door I heard Lucy laughing, so I stepped away from the door and went into the kitchen. Which I can tell you now, is the world's most kitted out kitchen i have ever seen.

Making some breakfast of eggs and bacon, (I don't trust buffet meals at hotels) I sat down and pulled out my CIA issued phone. I quickly sent a message to the CIA, letting them know that we have arrived safely. Yes, I know that it sounds like I am full of myself and that I would think that they will be worrying about me, but it is protocol, to make sure that you have be involved in any accidents.

At eight, yes eight and she went in at 5:45; Lucy stepped out of the bathroom, ready to go. I looked up and rolled my eyes. In the time she had been getting ready, I had read all of the mission files (all 20 of them) and memorised them (photographic memory), then had planned out a basic route to get to our 'man', you might say, of course I will run it through with Lucy to make sure agrees. The worst possible thing spies can do is not cooperate at the most important time. I had then had time to watch a bit of TV.

'About time,' I said turning off the TV and standing up.

'Well you should have taken the time to read the mission files,' she said jokingly.

'Oh believe me I have,' I said whilst walking towards her. She grinned and winked at me as i pulled her into a kiss.

I stepped back and grinned.

'I am going to finally take a shower,' Lucy shrugged.

'Alright, but hurry up, I don't like people that take ages,' she shouted from the kitchen.

Oh Lucy.

Okay, I have lots of exams so that's why I haven't updated, but I will try soon as they are nearly over. I hoped you liked it! Please review!
