The Spies Who Loved - Elams (with E_musician)

Chapter 1

A/N: first collab with E_musician

(Eliza's POV)
My partner John Laurens and I have just been called into the Captains office for a new case, I wonder if it has anything to do with what or should I say who has been on the news lately. "Recruits", Washington says in a serious tone, "Today you are tasked with hunting down and capturing international thief Alexander Hamilton."

I notice John nod and look at me. "What do you say, partner? Ready to catch another criminal?" He asks me. I smile and nod. "Ready as always-" I reply before getting cut off by Washington. "You need to be on high alert. This man is extremely dangerous and you can't slip up at all. This mission could be the make or break of your career," he says. John and I both nod before leaving his office before we were dismissed.

"So", John says, "Where do you think he'll strike next?" I think for a moment before saying, "The museum downtown. Isn't the biggest diamond in the world there?" "I think you're right- but don't quote me on that", John says. "Let's not waste time then", I say as I grab my equipment. Alexander Hamilton be prepared to go down.

John trails after me as we walk to the weapons room. "What will you be taking for this one?" I ask him. He shrugs. "Pistol, grappling hook and smoke bombs," he says and grabs what he needs. I giggle a bit and grab myself some of the best weapons we have. A couple tiny pistols like John, a bullet proof vest and a heat sensor.

John pauses for a moment before saying, "We look fabulous." I can't help but to laugh even though he says this before every case. I've started to think of it as our good luck charm actually. "Cmon goofball let's get to our positions inside of the museum-", I say before John finishes my sentence with, "After all every second counts!"

We walk down to the parking garage under our building. "I'm driving!" I shout quickly, grabbing the keys from John and sprinting towards the high tech car Washington bought for us. "No fair!" John shouts and starts running after me. Too late. I'm already in the drivers seat and ready to go. He gives in and gets in the passenger seat. "Go on then," He says and leans back in his seat.

I start driving us to the museum as John puts on music from the musical Mean Girls. He started singing the lyrics while trying to get me to join in. Eventually I have in and we both sang along completely forgetting about the possible death that awaits us in this case. As a super spy life gets kind of uncertain knowing any case could be your last, but with John that worry sort of fades away each case. He is the best partner I could've wished to be assigned with.

I won't say there isn't, but there might be a little chemistry between us. Neither of us have really talked about it but we both definitely know it's there. Anyway, we both continued to sing until I pulled up to the museum and went down to the exclusive parking for all the fancy people. Ha! We're fancy people!

We both got out of the car and went into the museum.
It was at closing time so at least we didn't have to fight our way through crowds. After we got to our positions we waited what felt like hours and Alexander Hamilton still hasn't shown up. At least we have each other to talk to.

"Do you think he saw us and fled?" I ask John then check my watch. 10:32. "Maybe. But someone like him would definitely find a way to sneak past us. We don't even know what he looks like." He sighs and continues to keep a look out for this mystery criminal.

Another hour past before I saw something out of the corner of my eye. "There!", I said while pointing, "There's our criminal!" Who I assumed to be Alexander was slipping into the shadows on his way to the diamond.

"Ready Liz?" John smiles, getting his gear ready. I nod and smile when he uses my favorite nickname. "Ready Jackie." I say quietly and follow Alexander at a distance while John goes to block him from the diamond.

"Stop!", I yell getting the theif's attention. "And what are you going to do about it miss?", Alex questioned. "I don't believe you are capable of stopping me after all this wouldn't be my first time dealing with people like you."

"You don't know who I am." I laughed a bit. That's when I caught a glimpse of his eyes. His beautiful brown eyes.. I froze. I couldn't move. I was lost in his eyes. Alexander chuckled. "Let me go, baby girl." He whispered to me. I nodded reluctantly, unable to say anything else.

Alexander made his escape into the night and I let him! God I couldn't believe it but I was hoping he'd be out next case just so I could see him again. Is love at first sight a thing- wait no he's a criminal I can't! Am I overthinking this? "John- he got away-", I managed to say.

"What happened?" John asks as he jogs over to me. I look down. "I got distracted. I don't deserve this job... he distracted me so easily." I mumble and wipe my eyes. Of course I'm crying. I'm just emotional and a terrible spy. I let a master criminal get away! I feel John's arms around me. "It'll be ok. Everyone slips up every once and a while." He tries but I shake my head. "No. I wasn't allowed to slip up and I did. It'll cost me my job."

"Well if Washington fires you I'm quitting. I don't want a different partner", John says. I slowly nod, "can we just go back to the base...?", I ask. "Of course we can", John says before carrying back out to the car.

I sat in the passenger seat this time. I am too annoyed with myself to drive. John doesn't mind though, he was fine to drive back to the base as if nothing happened. "So.. why did you freeze?" He asks quietly. I shrug. "He had the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. I got.. lost." I mumble.

"Hey what's that on your uniform?", John asks.
I look at my uniform to see a note.
