The Spies Who Loved - Elams (with E_musician)

Chapter 2

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

"What's this?" I question and pick the note out of my 
pocket. I look at it carefully before reading it, examining every little thing. "Huh…" I mumble as I read what the note says.

  “It’s a note from Hamilton- but with his next target location on it?”, I say confused. “Weird”,John says, “why would the criminal want us to know where he’s going-?” “I have no clue”, I say but I’m secretly hoping he wants to talk to me again- well talk to me for more than just a couple seconds this time.

John pulls up to the office and I stuff the note back into my pocket. I probably shouldn't let Washington see it… even if I'm breaking the rules. Usually I'm not one who breaks rules often but this time seemed… different. I truly wanted to meet up with Mr. Hamilton again. No matter what.

 “You seem a bit worried Lizzy, everything alright?”, John said. “Yeah completely and totally fine no problem”, I say. “Worried about what Washington will say?”, John asks. I slowly nod. “I could always take the blame for you-“, John offers.

 "No!" I shout abruptly, then calm down quickly, realizing how loud I was. "No you can't take the blame for me. This is my mistake and I'll fix it." I tell him then get out of the car once he parks. If you can even call it parking.

 “You know I don’t want you to get in trouble lizzy”, John tries to reason. “I know”, I say, “but you’re not the one who let him get away!” John sighs before saying “what if we split the blame- we are a team after all.”

"Or-" I start, getting an idea. "We could say we got there too late… we don't have to tell Washington… we just have to delete the camera footage." I explain to him. I think he understands cause he nodded with everything I said.

 “Let’s do it”, John says, “Then we don’t have to worry about consequences.” I nod in agreement before we start walking to the office. I still like John… but I think I also like the criminal. How is that even possible?!

"Recruits, where is Mr. Hamilton?" Washington says sternly as we walk into his office. "We're sorry sir. He got there before we did-" John tries but Washington shushed him. "Find him and bring him to me. Alive!" He shouts and slams his fists on the table. There's definitely more to this case than we thought…

 “Well I guess we’re not fired?”, John says. I nod “Why do you think Washington wants Mr. Hamilton to be brought here so much? Normally we bring the criminals straight to jail”, I say. “I have no clue, but it is weird”, John says. ”Well let’s head to the location Hamilton told us- hopefully it’s not a set up”, I say..

John nods and we both head back to the car. "You're driving." I tell him and get in the passenger seat. I'm nervous. Why am I nervous? I've never been nervous to catch a criminal before. Why is this one so different?

 John seems to notice because he asks me what’s wrong. “Nothing I’m completely fine there’s nothing wrong. Why do you ask?”, I reply. “Because you never act like this before a case”, John says. “Just drive”, I say.

John sighs and nods. Usually I tell him what happened but this time… I guess it's too personal. I stare out the window as he finally pulls up to the next location. I freeze as I realize where we are. "Not here-" I whisper as I stare at my fathers mansion.
