Agent Blake's POV:

   Why does she have to be so hot? No Blake, she isn't a room temperature she's a girl. She's BEAUTIFUL. My thoughts wondered as I was heading to Agent Fabiana's office. Just then I heard screaming and glass shattering. This can't be good. She can't kill another agent, she's responsible to many deaths already, both agent and non-agent. I thought as I started a jog/run over to her office. Just then the door opened and I collided with someone sending both of us down. I groaned while running my head and preparing to yell at the person who ran into me until I saw it was Sara, who had glass in her arm and she was unconscious. I pulled her into my lap and tried to get her to regain consciousness not caring about the now coffee soaked papers that lyed inches away from me. After about a minute later her gorgeous eyes opened and she looked at me dazed and confused. I started to feel antsy. Stupid hormones! Now's not the time to appear, go back into the hormone chemical area in my brain. I thought as I noticed she was examining herself. When she looked at me, I started to ramble off whatever question was on my mind. "Dude! Let her full regain consciousness before you slam her with questions! She still looks loopy though.... bring her into my office so I can check out her injuries and get the glass out of her arms." Agent Ashton said coming out of nowhere and guiding me to his office. As we were heading to his office, this one thought was in the back of my mind.

   Where did he come from? Seriously though, how did Agent Ashton get here? I swear, he was in his office when I was walking to Agent Fabiana's office- I looked, he wasn't there. Now he just appears out of nowhere. I hadn't realized that we were in his office until he snapped me out of my thoughts by taking Sara out of my hands and lying her on the nurse bed. I just stood in at the foot of her bed with my arms crossed and tried to look intimidating. I mean, when you're 5'5 with hair that goes pass your ears with a few piercings you may or may not look intimidating. "Well," Agent Ashton said coming over to me -and mocking my actions may I add- "Agent Sara is going to be okay. I was able to remove to all of the glass and stitch up all of her wounds. She just has a concussion from probably hitting her head on the floor. What even happened to her?" "I don't know dude, I was walking to Agent Fabiana's office when I heard glass shattering, a feminine scream and then there was Sara on the ground passed out." I told him. "Oh the perks of being second in command." He smirked and then walked over to the monitors where we viewed what our security cameras recorded. After he typed a few things into the computer, he had a video ready to play on the screen.

   "Now it's time for the truth." He said with a hint of worry in his voice as he hit play. I'll admit, worried also. What exactly happened to Sara? I thought. After I found out I was amazed. Yes, I know Agent Fabiana has anger issues but this was out of hand. I know Sara didn't want to do this because Tatiana is her best friend and she didn't want to soil it. I am seriously starting to get tired of Agent Fabiana's behavior now and I'm thinking about transferring and taking Sara with me. Yes, here they'll see us as traitors but I've got to do the best for both Sara and I. "Once she's awake you can take her home. I don't recommend calling anyone because they don't know about us and only the man upstairs knows what would happen." Agent Ashton said while walking out of the office.

    As if it was right on que, Sara sat up awake and alert. "Hey Sara let's get you home, Liam's house right?" I asked picking her up bridal style after she was staggering over her own feet. "NO! I mean, nope." She said in alert getting full attention of Agent Maxwell and his freshman class of spies intraining. I just turned my head to the right as a signal to Agent Maxwell that she's in shock from a mission and I'm taking her home as I walked out the front door and into my black mustang. As I started to drive away from the headquarters Sara spoke. "You remember how Tati and I got into a car crash awhile ago?" Great here come the guilt and regret waves of me not being able to save her. "Yeah." "Well, she's getting released today and no one's home so that's why I didn't want you to take me there." She responded.  "That's great in all about her getting released and everything but where am I supposed to drop you off?" I asked with concern. I was perfectly happy with taking her back to Casa de Blake with me. "Remember the house I showed you awhile ago? The ones my parents bought me." She said with a depressed tone. "Yea. That's where you're staying now?" I asked. "Yeah....." She trailed off and started to play with her light brown hair. "Okay what's the real reason you aren't staying with the Payne's?" I asked stopping the car on a deserted road and turned to face her. "Well, I haven't faced any of the Paynes since the night of the crash and I've been living in the house with Zayn and Niall. Liam got mad at Niall and Niall started to breakdown so Zayn and I took him to the house which only you, myself, and now Zayn and Niall know about. Earlier today- before I came to the headquarters- I went to the Payne's house to get our suitcases because we were all supposed to be staying there in the first place, when I almost ran into Liam. I'm to nervous to even face them now so that's the 100% real reason why I don't want to go back." She responded with truth flooding from her voice. "Okay." I shrugged then started to drive again. "Hey let's see what's on the radio." She leaned forward and turned the radio on. 5 foot something with the- "Nevermind." She immediately slammed the radio off and I laughed at her causing her to stick her tongue out at me.
