The plane was fitted with the technology we use in our missions already and is our base of operations while the soldiers are out capturing these criminals.

Hazel stands in front of the screen with the control in her hand explaining to the soldiers the reasons behind this mission. I on the other hand was standing at the weapons and equipment table with Samantha. I smile feeling arms wrap around my waist and a gentle kiss on my neck

"I wasn't aware that my original commanding officer was your uncle" Dillon whispers in my ear before letting me go and taking the assault rifle from my hands. Cameron now stands on the other side of the table next to Samantha with a smirk on his face, one I couldn't help but return.

"We could have scored some awesome brownie points with him knowing what we know now" I laugh at them shaking my head

"I didn't know he commanded your unit" I hear my name being called and we all turn to see Hazel gesturing the soldiers to get geared up. Dillon waves them over and each of them which consists of five other soldiers alongside Dillon and Cameron

"So your wife huh?" one says

"Those pictures you showed us of her before you got married, were they really her because she looks more toned in person" another says

"Photoshop boys, I've only done a couple shoots since marrying the lieutenant" I say

Dillon introduced each one to us, Blake is apparently the one that's been giving Hazel the bedroom eyes, he looks Mexican then there is Daniel and Greg who happen to be cousins, African American and European descent and the last seemed to be a silent one who goes by the name of Hector

Samantha each hands them their weapons for each of their purpose while Troy instructs them on the plan...

...

"If something goes wrong while you're out there and this gets taken from you, it lets us know that you are in trouble and your exact location, a recovery team will come to get you" I tell Dillon as he presses his thumb where I instruct him. The object I hand to him looks like a beeper that is synced to their every movement.

He looks down then looks to his men as I also hand one to Cameron "It better not be you bestie"

I shrug my shoulders when I look up to Hazel winking "It will be me" Hazel says when someone slams down on the table causing everyone to stop and look

"Blake! What the hell?!" Cameron yells

I look back and forth between Hazel and Blake then slowly piece it altogether "Do you know each other?" I ask

"We grew up together, we've known each other since preschool days" Hazel whispers to me as she was now standing beside me. We both knew it would be the both of us going and if Dillon knew I was going, he wouldn't stand for it

"Obviously he has cared for you more than a friend" I say as I hear her sigh

"We did everything together, karate, athletics club and always supported each other until I was recruited by the agency when I left school and he went to the army" I watch her take a deep breath and turn properly towards me as I glanced over at Cameron speaking with Blake "We've only seen each other twice over the last nine years since finishing school and once in the last three since I've worked along side you" I saw the blush creep on her face

"I take the last time was a very intimate one, was that when -" She cut me off with a nod. That time she went home for Christmas was when we had just formed a close relationship in work and outside of work. Before she went out on a mission with me, she had a miscarriage. Not once did she mention who the father was and seeing now who he is, I can see why she refuses to acknowledge him to an extent.

"I was going to tell him we were expecting but then I miscarried at my check up, you know how I was and why I was excited" She whispers when we hear a sudden frustrated 'What?' come from behind me. She looked up, turning suddenly and walk away from us all, followed by an angry man hot on her trail

I turn back to the weapons and prepare my own in case "Would you have told me if you had an accident?" I smile nodding my head at Dillon

"Of course I would have baby, Hazel has been in love with her best friend for as long as she can remember but lost contact with him" I feel his lips kiss the side of my head "Baby we are supposed to be working"

"I'm allowed to steal a kiss here and there my love" I just couldn't keep the smile off my face...

...

It took us a good few hours until we reached our destination, after I had made sure my weapons and vest were ok for use I take a seat beside Dillon who is seated beside Cameron. I had random cravings during the flight and often felt the need to throw up.

Thankfully we had come prepared with food, the soldiers helped themselves which was what I wanted because this mission could take more than a few days.

I slept, I ate, I went to the bathroom and I just lost count of how often I went. Dillon only laughed at my expense when Cameron would shake his head.

I woke up from my nap to someone moving me. Opening my eyes suddenly, I see Troy staring at me

"We've got some movement" I get up quietly without trying to wake my husband and follow Troy to the back

"So it seems they'll be stationing themselves at a hotel, making themselves look like tourists" I watch the screens that show the video surveillance through our satellite.

"Have you got room numbers and alias they're using?" I ask

"All ready to go" Devon says beside Troy, I nod my head...

...

Dillon barely left my side as we briefed everyone again and I couldn't help but glance up at him. Turning to him, he looks down smiling as the rest of his team get in the cars. His hand moves to my cheek and caresses it softly

"She's not the girl you knew babe, she's dangerous and will do anything to get what she wants" I say as I stare back into his eyes "I love you"

"And I love you" We never kissed on farewells, we cherish them for when we reunite...
