The Briefing

No sleep. I had no sleep that night. I just saw Mel every time I closed my eyes. It hurt. Knowing she was on her own and would not get the funeral she deserved. What made this worse was knowing that she should be on the next mission with us, except she won't because she can't. Gone. My best friend. I will never get over it.

At 12 I headed to Leanne's office. I wore sun glasses so no-one could see my eyes stained with tears. I walked in silently and sat down. James wasn't there yet I noticed. Just me and Graham (another spy). I didn't really feel like seeing James anyway. It would hurt too much. Leanne walked in with a folder full of notes. She sat opposite me and Graham. 

"Your assinment is go-" she started.

"Wait! James isn't here yet!" I interrupted.

"James isn't on this mission. It is just you and Graham. I felt that it would be best for you two to not have too much communication for a while. Back to what I was saying....Your assignment is going to be involving the world famous British/Irish boy band One Direction. We fear that the famous assassin Nick Jeranium is out to kill them. Ela, your job is to become close with the boys and be on them at all times. You will be going undercover as their organizer, but don't panic all the organizing has been done for you. Graham, you will be working away from the boys. Keep intouch with Ela and warn her of any worries you uphold. Graham will be working from here and keeping sattelite surveillance on you and Ela you will be picked up from your appartment at 2pm tomorrow and dropped off at the boys current location. You will be staying with them. You have the rest of the day to read through these notes. Ela you are not to tell the boys you are a spy or become emotionally envolved with any of them. Agents, good luck."

She handed me the folder and gestured for us to leave. I got up and followed after Graham.

"I heard about Melissa. Sorry." he said quietly.

Hearing her name made me gulp. "It doesn't matter. We have to look to the future. Come on. We can study the notes at my desk." I said without looking him in the eye.

Once we reached the desk, I set the notes down and sat as Graham pulled his own chair up. We split the notes and started reading. 

Louis William Tomlinson. Aged 21. Born 24th December 1991.

Harry Styles. Aged 18. Born 1st  February 1994.

Zayn Malik. Aged 20. Born 12th January 1993.

Liam Payne. Aged 19. Born 29th August 1993.

Niall Horan. Aged 19. Born 13th September 1993.

That's a lot of boys to look after, I thought. Having read all the notes on the boys and Nick, we were ready to go. I went back to my apartment to pack, Graham walking me. 

"I'll see you after the assignment Ela. Keep safe!" He said, giving me a hug at the door.

M.I.9. supplied us with apartments so we were all in the same building. I had always shared with Mel, but I guess it was just mine now, James across the hall. I walked into the apartment, completely alone. It was weird without Mel and James fighting each other's heads off. I miss that. I no longer have Mel and I don't know when I will next see James. 

I packed on my own. I hate packing. It's a waste of time, everything will just get unpacked anyway. I finished and placed my suitcase at the door. I had nothing to do. Only 7 O'clock. I went to the door of the room that was Mel's. I opened the door and looked in. The same as before. The bed a mess, clothes on the floor, make-up on her dresser, pictures stuck to her mirror of all the great memories we had had together. Some even had James. I went in and looked at them. Lots of picture, from the time we got lost in Germany to our free time holiday in Disney Land Paris. I smiled sadly at the pictures of us being our silly selves and not having to worry about death. 

I looked in the mirror and sighed. It would never be the same. Out of the coner of my eye, I noticed a peice of paper on the bed. I smirked, probably one of Mel's songs. Melissa loved writing songs and she had such a lovely voice. A tear trickled down my cheek remembering her music. I walked over and picked it up. It was folded and I knew instantly it wasn't Mel's. She would never fold a sheet of paper. She always said "I hate writing on trees. I'm not going to make them suffer more!" I lauged at the many debates James and her had had over the matter. 

I remembered the note in my hand. I looked down and I noticed Ela was written on one side. I recognised the hand writing as James' instantly. I opend it cautiously. It read:

Ela,

I knew you would come in here. Even though you will regret it later. I miss her too. I know we always fought, but we cared really. I know this must be hard on you. I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry for not letting you go back. It was for the best, otherwise we would both be dead. Leanne says we shouldn't work together for a while. I will not get a better partner that you. I will be gone by the time you get this. I am going for a case in Russia and I don't know when and if I'll be back. After what happened with Mel you really don't know when your life line is over huh? I just thought I would say good bye. You will have your own mission later, Leanne said. I will miss you. I thought that now was a better time than any to let you know that I will always be there for you. Mel is too. Her ghost will be protecting you. Stay safe. Love you. BFF's 4evs lovely dovely! (think you need something to brighten your day) Smile your way through those tears and let your beautiful face shine. Don't let any of those 5 lads break your heart! GOOD LUCK!!!

James XX :')

I was surprised to say the least. I could never be mad at my James. He meant too much. How he knew about the boys I wasn't sure, probably Leanne. I would miss him. Gone to Russia. That is a long way away.... He was right though. Our lives could end any day! That was scary. And I would never let one of these boys break my heart. I refuse to get emotionally close with anyone and risk being hurt....not after Mel. Never again.
