Just the Way you Are

Nicaragua

Hetty was asked to travel to Nicaragua for a meeting, she asked Granger to come with her, and he agreed.

On the plane ride

'So, how did you come across to rule this country for 72 hours?' Granger asked.

'Well, I was on a mission there, and there was secret files in, let's call it the 'castle'. Well, someone had the bright idea that if I ran for ruler, I could get close to the files on the day that the candidates were to go to the 'castle' for a debate. I played along for a while, then I eventually got the files, and the real surprise of it all: I got elected in the process!' Hetty replied.

'What'd you do in those hours? Execute criminals? Solve world hunger? Dedicate an entire day to yourself?'

(laughs) 'No, though I was definitely tempted to! I caught some bad guys, and some other nice things. But, the mission was done, and I didn't want to stay there. So, I found a nice replacement, and left quietly.' Hetty replied.

'Did you enjoy your short reign?'

'In a way, yeah.'

'You could rule the world if you want to with your abilities, instead of being in charge of a team of silly agents.' He said.

'Yeah. But being in charge of said agents who also save the world, is more my style. Plus, they need me.' She responded. 'And also, before you say that I could've married a prince or some kind of warrior, I settled for you because you care about me and my team, and I don't regret it one bit!' She replied.

'Wasn't going to ask.' And they held hands.

While Hetty was in the meeting, Granger did some digging around, and in an underground chamber, found some old portraits and pictures of Hetty, and they were wild!

At the hotel

'Hey! I got dinner because I'm not in a cooking mood, So I hope you don't, mind...' Hetty said, then saw Granger with the pictures and portraits, and a goofy grin.

'I did some digging, and I found these crazy pictures in a underground chamber. And, these are really something!' He said.

'Oh bugger. Before you get any crazy ideas, I was young, and I looked a bit different!' Hetty said, blushing.

'Didn't know you liked to wear dresses, especially not the wild type!' (laughs)

'Don't you get any ideas into that head of yours, Owen! I got rid of any ridiculous dress I may have had a very long time ago!'

'Are you actually crowd surfing in this one pic? Or did the people just really adore as their um, 'queen'? (chuckles).

Facepalm 'I knew I should've had those photos burnt when I had the chance!' Hetty thought to herself, while being very annoyed.
