I woke up this morning or the sofa, slumped halfway up the side. Groggily I turned over to be hit by blinding (well blinding to me) light. My internal clock, told me it was 10:30, but it more told me to 'get the hell up'. Yeah, thanks brain.
I rolled myself off the sofa and stumbled into the kitchen, only then did I really wake up and notice that Joe was missing. Frowning I walked into the bedroom only to find that empty, my hungry stomach now forgotten, I quickly got changed. Walking past the sofa again I noticed a small note on the coffee table. Picking it up, I instantly recognised it as Joe's writing.
Gone to take care of Benjamin, will be back later. Don't worry.
My frown deepened. That's all I get? This mission is meant to be a joint mission and here he is leaving me so he can do it. And he knows I'm touchy about working together and not leaving one or the other out.
I sighed angrily and grabbed my coat. I left the hotel room, slamming the door behind me.
It's not Benjamin Joe should not be worried about, it's me.
JOE POV
Lucy will hate me.
No question.
But I know that I this mission had to be done, without anymore slip ups and with Lucy, I am just worrying about her.
Sighing I shook my head. I couldn't think about her right now, I just needed to focus.
I am currently sliding along the wall of Benjamin's little office building by the hotel. Getting ready to give him a 'visit'.
Inching closer, I heard voices coming from behind me, I froze and slid into the shadows, just as they were passing me I Kicked my foot out, to connect with a head, the man fell down. Without giving the others time to think I slammed my fist into one of the guys stomach, causing him to double over, as he did I brought my knee up to his face which flung his head back, knocking him out. I was about to carry on walking up to the door when a hand grabbed my shoulder. I swung my fist round aiming for his face, but the man expected this and grabbed my hand and twisted it behind my back.
'Now, now, sir,' He said mockingly into my ear. Then spun me round and pushed me into the light so he could see my face. His face twisted into a smile. 'Well, well, you're part one of the trouble makers we had on Monday, but where's part two?' When I didn't reply he struck me across the face. That didn't cause me to black out, the wall I had my head slammed into did.
#################################################################################
Ow.
Was the first thing I thought.
I opened my eyes, but groaned and turn my head away when I was greeted by a blinding light. Blinking the fuzziness away from my eyes, I turn my head back round. I moved my hands up to rub my eyes, well tried to. My hands had been bound to a chair. At this point my spy instincts stepped in. I slowly started to untie the knots that tied my hands together behind my back. It wasn't too hard, they were pretty basic knots.
'Woken up then, have we?' A voice brought me out of my concentration. I looked up and saw the man who had hit me before standing in the corner of the room. I glared at him. He just laughed.
'Oh dear, don't we know that glares stopped working in school?' I just shot him another glare. The man slowly stood up from against the wall and strolled towards me. Above me I noticed something move but didn't say anything. Mind you, I wasn't planned on saying anything anyway. I had just managed to free my hands when the man spoke again.
'So are you going to play ball and tell me where the other one is?' I just sat there with a bored expression. This angered the man, but only slightly.
'I wouldn't give me the silent treatment if I were you, it's not going to get you anything except a few bruises,'
I think I'll manage.
'Where is the other agent?' Again I didn't say anything.
Why are you so desperate to know?
This time the man struck across the face again.
'Tell me or I swear I really will hu-' He was cut off as something swung round and kicked him in the head. A foot. Lucy.
'Lucy, I'm sorry I-' I tried to apologise but she cut me off.
'Save it.' She said coldly. She turned to leave.
'Won't you at least help me out of these ropes,' I said and tried to smile. But she didn't return the smile.
'You are already out of them, it was obvious you were out of them five minutes ago, anyone could notice that, but this guy isn't anyone, this guy is an idiot.' It might have sounded like a joke, but I knew it wasn't. She was pissed. At me. And while it seems she was criticising the man by calling him and idiot, she was criticising me for being so obvious about my bonds. This annoyed me slightly.
'Well, I am sorry but, you know, when you are stuck across the head twice you're not exactly in full focus,' I said to her back, as she had already turned and was walking out of the door. She froze and spun round, her eyes like bullets, cutting through me.
'Well, deary, maybe next time you should go with someone like, oh I don't know maybe your mission partner?' She said her voice deathly calm, going into a slight hiss at the end. Without waiting for me
LUCY POV
Fuming, I left the room without giving him time to respond. Behind me I heard him quickly follow. But I didn't stop until I reached a room, with voices drifting out of it. Stopping I listened in to hear what they were saying.
'... What do you mean, you don't know? It's either him or it isn't!' I recognised the voice straight away. It was Benjamin.
'Yes, well, he didn't exactly give us time to think before he attacked us,' Another voice said, there was a chorus of 'yeah' and 'no time to think'. Benjamin sighed.
The door was slightly a jar so I looked in to see how many people there were, not many. I could easily take them all but seeing as I was angry at my mission partner for doing the mission alone, I would seem a bit hypocritical to go in and do it by myself. Behind be I heard said man lean in to listen. I turned to him.
'There are 25 men in that room, Joseph. One of them is Benjamin,' I started. 'So, seeing as we are really embracing the whole work together aspect of this mission' I said sarcastically. 'I'll take the west side and you take the east, okay? Or do I need to spell it out?' He glared at me but nodded.
'On three,' he mumbled.
'One,'
'Two,'
'Three!' I pushed the door open slightly and slipped in making my way to the back of the group.
Slowly i snaked my arm around the first man's neck, then, before he before he could react, I tightened my grip cutting of his air flow. The man soon fell limp and i lay him down on the floor silently. The whole thing had been done without a single person noticed. I just hope my mission partner would think to do the same tactic.
But, of course, that wasn't the case.
Joseph barged in, ran up to the first guy he saw , spun him round and punched him in the face. This caught people's attention and sadly Benjamin's. Soon enough Joe had been grabbed and handcuffed. Well so much for being stealth. I sighed. Now extremely angry and Joseph I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Not to calm myself, but to go into my 'zone'. Where nothing stops me, I just keep on going and never getting tired.
I opened my eyes and looked up with a deathly smile, slowly the men were advancing towards me.
At least I will have some fun. I thought as I ran towards the first person.
By the end everyone was on the floor and Benjamin was handcuffed and being escorted out by the CIA officials I had called in.
After speaking to another CIA officer I turned to Joseph. He looked sheepish.
Lucy, I am really sor-' I cut him off.
'You know what, Agent Solomon, save it for someone who wants to listen,'
Okay! That was the last chapter because I don't like this story so I am taking it off. If you wanted it to continue, well... use your imagination! ;) Check out my other story called 'Their Story' though!
Bye for now!
