「Stars and Gunpowder」 | Harry Hart x Character OC Book 1

Chapter 4 : Accidents Happen

 Elena enters her trailer after a long day of filming, she settles down on a comfy chair as she dials Merlin's number and he picks up "Hello Elena how can I help you today" Merlin greets through the phone "Why are you always so serious? Anyways, how's Roxy's training going? I just wanted to ask as I'll be gone for another three months" Elena says as she puts her phone on speaker "Oh? Are filming another movie? Also Roxy's doing great, she has passed all the tests so far"

"That's great, and yes I am, I'm gonna have to take less missions since I'll be busy with filming and all that" She grabs a cup water and sits back down "How's Harry by the way, like has he been on any missions lately" "Well, Harry has been investigating what Lancelot has been up to" She rolls her eyes "he really needs to be more careful, if not he'll end up like Lancelot" Merlin chuckles "I'll tell him that, since he doesn't listen to me at all" "Everyone listens to me" Elena brags pridefully and Merlin sighs "Ok, I guess everyone does, but I have to go now, before the trainees do anything stupid again" "Bye bye mama bird" "Good bye Elena" Merlin lets out a small chuckle as he hangs up, Elena throws her phone aside and decides to go to Elizabeth's trailer

She goes to grab a nearby cardigan as it was cold out, and she opens the door only to find Sebastian and Anthony behind it trying to listen inside "What the hell?" She watches the men as they try to compose themselves "It was Sebastian's idea" Anthony says as he speed walks away leaving Sebastian behind "it wasn't- I- I swear to god, it was both me Anthony's idea since Scarlett mentioned that you were talking to someone on the phone" Elena rolls her eyes "Just leave" She sighs as Sebastian leaves

"What was Sebastian doing" A british accent catches Elena's attention, she turns and sees Tom "He was snooping around, including Anthony, those two are so nosy" Tom laughs "You'll get used to it, where are you headed?" He asks Elena as she closes her trailer door "To Elizabeth's trailer, she brought some fancy wine and wants me and Scarlett to try it" "Sounds fun" "It will be, I haven't been able to drink alcohol for a year now" Elena complains "Have fun then, don't get too carried away though, you'll regret it in the morning" Tom says as they stop in front of a trailer "Thanks" Elena nods knocking on the door, it opens and she was pulled into the trailer.

It has been three months and Elena is still in America filming

"Cut!"

Elena walks back to her assistant as she is given a water bottle "You're doing so great Elena, I kinda wish that I casted you for a bigger role now" The director says as he approaches her "Well I don't mind if I get one really but, I'm actually planning on taking a break for two months" Anthony hears this and comes in the conversation "Oh? A break? Well good luck to you, the press will be on your tail every single day if you do, but all jokes aside, yes you should take a break, you even said it yourself, you've been in the industry for almost eight years?" Elena nods in agreement "You should take a break soon, I bet it's getting tiring carrying a whole industry on your back" They both laugh "Thanks Anthony, this conversation was well needed" As she finishes her sentence her phone beeps for a message notification, she excuses herself opening her phone to see it was Merlin

"Agent Galahad has been into a coma after his recent mission, your presence is requested, effective immediately."

She stuffs her phone back in her pocket "Anthony, I have to go, there's a family emergency I have to get to, I'm really sorry" "Don't worry Elena we'll be fine here" Chris says in reply as Anthony nods at Elena "Bye Chris! Bye Anthony!" She leaves the set to go to her car and drives to the airport to get on a plane back to England.
