Six Weeks Later…
"Yo, Adley!" Sabina's voice could be heard through the entirety of the safe house, "We have a new mission! What's your six?"
Adley heard Sabina but she was frozen as she sat and stared at the positive pregnancy test in her hands. She hadn't seen Bosley since the day of his retirement but she knew exactly what this meant. She shook off her inner stress and shouted, "I'm in the bathroom! Give me a minute!"
Unfortunately, Sabina had no boundaries and she came straight through the door her eyes focusing instantly on what Adley held in her hands.
"What's that?" Sabina asked, "Is it what I think it is?"
Adley quickly stuffed it into her pocket, "Nothing to worry about. What's our mission?" she changed the subject hoping Sabina would follow her lead.
Sabina wanted to press for more information but luckily for Adley, they were limited on time. She answered, "Bosley and Jane just arrived downstairs to fill us in."
Adley nodded as she followed Sabina out of the bathroom and down the stairs, her heart sinking as she thought about Bosley because this one wasn't hers.
"Ladies, thanks for joining us," Edgar Bosley began, "We're on protection duty for a whistleblower. Her name is Elena," he continued to explain the meet but Adley felt her mind wandering as she pulled out her phone.
Adley pulled up her contacts and scrolled to the last message she'd sent to Bos and typed a new one. It read, "I know we agreed on keeping our distance for a while after your retirement but we need to talk if you can find a way to meet up with me," she hit send and focused back on Edgar's mission briefing.
"I'm meeting Elena in a cafe where she can tell me what she knows about Callisto and I want the three of you set up in different strategic locations in case things turn south," Edgar finished glancing at each Angel for questions.
Adley tried to listen to Jane and Sabina's comments but she was too distracted by her phone screen and the lack of replies she was hoping for. Maybe Bos was never planning on seeing her again after he left the Townsend Agency. She shook off that thought and attempted to regain focus on the mission at hand.
Edgar was explaining their positions during the meet and he mentioned Jane would be in the car while Sabina watched from a higher vantage point across the street and Adley would act as a waitress inside the cafe.
The girls agreed, well they thought everyone was on the same page until Adley raised her hand.
"What's on your mind?" Edgar asked.
Adley was never one to shy away when she had an opinion about their mission and each girl's strengths, "Jane is the best fighter and she likes to be in the action. I think she and I should switch places," she stated and then waited on them to decide.
Jane was the first to respond, "I agree with Adley but only if you're ok with it?" she looked to Edgar for approval.
"I'm good with whatever plan you ladies are comfortable," he replied, "Get packed. We ride out in thirty minutes," he instructed as he walked out to set up the necessary arrangements.
Adley turned to head back upstairs and gather a few items in case they hit any complications when Sabina made an attempt to stop her.
"Hey," she began, "Do you want to talk about what happened upstairs?"
Adley shook her head, "I appreciate it but I need to wrap my head around things before I can talk it out." She checked her phone once more on her way up the staircase, and there were still no notifications.
