The Spies Who Loved - Elams (with E_musician)

Chapter 3

(Eliza's POV)
“Not here-“, I whisper as I stare at my father’s mansion.

 “What’s wrong?”, John asks. “Nothing…”, I try to say calmly, “Just not my favorite place in the world.” “Well are you ready to head inside?”, John questions. I shake my head. “Can we just wait a couple more minutes?”, I say hoping to avoid going inside.

"What if he's already in there? We have to catch him!" John says to me and tries to pull my arm. "I'm not going in. You find him yourself." I say and go back to the car. He calms down and comes over to me. "Please tell me what's wrong…" he whispers.

 “This is my fathers mansion- and it brings back bad memories”, I say barely audible. John realizes quickly and pulls me into a hug. “I can go in by myself this time if you want. I don’t want you to be distressed”, he says. I sit there for a few moments to contemplate my decision. If I don’t go in I don’t have to see my father but I also won’t see Alexander.

"I'm going to stay in the car…" I whisper. John nods. "Alright. I'll be back soon." He says then goes into the house. I sigh and stare out my window when I see a man approaching the car. "Hamilton!" I shout and jump out of the car. "It's about time you showed up." He chuckles.

 “Surprised to see me?”, he asks. “Weeellll you did leave me a note”, I say. “Well I had to find some way to let you know where I was going without letting da- your captain know”, Alexander says. Did he almost just call my captain dad? That’s weird.

"So are you going to let us take you in?" I ask him, brushing off his tiny slip up. "You think I'm that easy?" He laughs. I shrug. "Well I think you know what's good for you." I tell him, only to cause him to laugh more. "I've never known whats good for me. Ever." He tells me while dying of laughter.

 “Maybe I’ll just leave you another clue to my next spot princess”, Alex says. “Don’t call me princess”, I say starting to cover my face. “Whatever you say”, Alex responds with, “Well catch me if you can!” Then he takes off running to my fathers mansion.

I click on my earpiece that connects to John's and turn on the microphone. "He's going in. Stay alert and catch him this time." I say and wait for a response. "Rodger that, Liz." John replies and turns off his headset. I sigh and get back in the car. What is happening to me?

 I wait for what felt like forever to get a response back or see John walking back hopefully with a captured Hamilton. Suddenly I get a message in my ear piece from John. “Uhhhh so he uh sorta got away again-“, I hear John say. I sigh before responding with “How do we explain to Washington that we lost the criminal again”

"I'm not sure but I think I know where he's going next…" John trails off and walks up to the car. He picks up a piece of paper that was lodged in the mirror of the drivers door. "Another location?" I ask. He nods.

 “But this time it’s at our base…”, John says. How do we stop a criminal who knows where the spy base is?! “We really need to tell Washington now”, I say. How did he even figure out where our base is?! 

"What's so valuable at our base that he needs to go there?" I ask John as he speeds back to the base. He shrugs. "We have a lot of rare weapons and gadgets. They could be sold on the black market for millions- even billions- of dollars." He says. Great. Now the safety of the entire collection of gadgets we have rests in our hands.

 As soon as the car is parked we both dash inside, hoping that we aren’t too late. Once we get inside I notice that all of our gear is still safe, but we are greeted with a very frustrated Washington. “I already heard from the news”, Washington says with a disappointed tone.

"We're sorry sir we didn't mean to-" I start but got cut off by laughter. I turn my head to see Alexander Hamilton in the hall behind Washington. "Dad stop scaring them." He laughs. Washington rolls his eyes slightly. "Fine, I guess we should tell them." He sighs. "Washington is my dad and sent me to go test you both. I had permission to 'steal' everything I did. Everything has been returned by Agent Burr." Alex explained.

 “So you’re saying none of that was real-?”, John questioned clearly confused. “Nope!”, Alex replied with a happy tone. So we just got tricked by the boss’s son but in the process I think I developed a crush on him-? God this could either go really well or crash and burn.

I walk over to Alex and pull him into a separate hallway. "Why were you flirting with me?" I whisper-yell to him. He chuckles lightly. "That's just my character, princess." He tells me. "I am not your princess." I snap then go back to John. Of course he doesn't actually like me. God, this is middle school all over again.

 John notices my anger and asks, “What’s wrong?” “Why are some people so- so frustrating!”, I practically yell. “Hey- it’ll be alright just take some deep breaths”, John says calmly. I nod and take a breath, still frustrated with Alexander. Washington then takes this time to tell us, “Recruits, my son will be joining your team.”

"Are you serious-" I start but John puts his hand over my mouth to shut me up. We're not supposed to talk back to the captain. "Thank you sir." John says as Washington walks away. I try to pull John's hand off my mouth but he won't budge, so I go to my last resort. "EW!" He screeches and pulls his hand away. "Did you just lick my hand?!" I nod and gag. "What the heck did you touch and why didn't you wash your hand!?"

 “The steering wheel”, he responds with a straight face. “A steering wheel shouldn’t be that gross!”, I say. “Well you were the last one to touch it before me!”, John retaliates with. “So- I suppose we should all get to know each other a bit then”, Alex interrupts with. “That would be delightful wouldn’t it lizzy”, John says before I have a chance to respond. 

I silently grumble to myself but nod and follow John and Alex to our office. Why did it have to be Alex? "So are you two dating?" Alex asks. "No-" "Yes." John and I respond at the same time. He gives me a weird look. "Lizzy what the heck. We're not dating." He says. I sigh. "I wish we were sometimes…" I whisper to myself.

 “I mean we could be”, John said with a sudden change in tone. “I heard that last part”, he whispers, “you still have your ear piece on.” I blush a deep crimson red. How do I respond to this. I feel like I’ve been staring for at least 5 minutes now. Before I know what’s happening John kisses me. Eliza.exe has stopped working.
