Secret Agents

Chapter 3

Dan wasn't really a guy for working with other people. He always kept with himself, never really bothered anyone unless it was absolutely necessary. So when this new agency hired him to catch the three criminals, he thought at least he would work alone on when they flew him out to LA.

"Mr. Howell, this is your partner, Agent Phil Lester. You two will be in Los Angeles while the others will be in Sweden and in Ireland."

Sadly, he was wrong.

Dan walked into his hotel room, slamming the door behind him before setting down his luggage on the bed. He wanted to get away from that Lester guy as soon as possible. He wanted to search the streets of LA on his own, get some evidence on where the Irish man was, maybe even try to catch Felix and Mark.

But he wanted to be alone. It's not like he hates the guy, but he worked better without a partner. Dan thought about him, Agent Phil Lester.

Obviously when Dan first saw him in that conference room, was that he was clumsy. The man dropped his pen multiple of times and almost spilled his coffee on Shane. Dan started to hang out his suits while thinking about it. Although clumsy, he was approachable, in a 'ask for directions' kind of way. Dan has never heard his name before, which means that he's probably new.

'Can't be that new' Dan thought. 'They only got the best agents from the top agencies to be on this case'

Dan thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock. He put away his last item of clothing before setting down the suit case near the closet. Dan opened the door only to see Agent Lester here himself.

"Agent Lester, is there something you would like to talk about." Dan asked him. They were suppose to settle in before going on a long car drive to Alcatraz Prison. The two need to find out how Jack had escaped and how no one caught him in the act.

"Yes there is actually, do you want to get some waffles before we go? HUNT has a great eye for 5 star hotels so I assume that the food must be good her too." Phil gave him a small smile. Dan furred his eye brows for just a second, waffles? This guy wanted waffles before leaving? (A/N HUNT stands for High Risk United Nations Taskforce, which is what Dan and Phil are working for)

"Um..." Dan looked up at him. "Sure I could go for some waffles, I guess." Phil nodded. "Well I'll be down stairs devouring all the chocolate chip ones so come down soon." Dan stiffened.

"There's chocolate chip waffles."

"Yeah I couldn't stop thinking about them since we came in."

Dan was already out of his now locked room.

"Let's go."

After the boys filled themselves with waffles of plenty they take a boat to the infamous Alcatraz prison.

"Ahh you must be the agents HUNT sent us." The man behind the desk said. "Yes."

"My name is Agent Howell and this is my partner Agent Lester now sir-"

"Just call me Phil sir." Phil stretched out his hand for the man.

The man looked as if he was in his 50's, Dan concluded that's why he was a door duty officer. He sat there all day dealing with visitors of the prison and managed the information on the prisoners. He had a bit of grey hair in his stubble while having a bald head. The man shook Phil's hand.

"Call me Teddie, sir makes me feel old." He gave his words a light chuckle.

Phil laughed too as Dan just gave a little smile. He just wanted to be in and out of here as soon as possible, just to have little human interaction as possible.

"Yes Teddie now would you please show us how Sean, escaped from this prison?" Phil asked the man. "Well I was out that day but I'm suppose to hand the two over to Wanda also know as my boss." He gave out another light hearted laugh before telling the two to follow him.

Finally the men were introduced to Wanda. "You the new agents?" She asked.

"Yes we are ma'am."

Wanda smiled. "Great, well turns out there was a bug in the system."

The woman started walking as the agents followed her. They stopped in front of a cell. "Wanda, what do you mean bug in the system?" Phil tilted his head to the side a little bit. "Well I'm sorry to say this boys but one of our own let this man out." Dan's attention was fully on Wanda, instead of thinking about cringe moments he did in middle school. "Excuse me?"

"Yup, one of our officers opened little Jack's cell, leading him out onto our roof. That's where someone took him away off of a helicopter."

"How did your men not notice that?"

"That day they're was barley anyone, we've had a decrease in officers since Felix is apparently on the rise again."

Dan nodded, he understood. Felix, the master mind. He threatens many families of officers if they didn't do what he said, some even had to pay the price. Felix would send out his men, killing at least one of the dearly beloved by the officer as a warning. Then if you still didn't corroborate, soon your wife, your daughter, your son, your sister, gone the next day.

"Damn I wish we knew how he did it exactly boys, but that's all I have for ya." Wanda says in a sad tone.

Dan and Phil nodded thanking Wanda for her time before going on the boat that lead them to shore. Phil sighed sitting across from Dan.

"Where to next?" Dan asked without emotion.

"The police department, apparently they got a the guy who drove the helicopter for them, wait drove?" Phil went on his own phone after that statement. Dan sighed undoing his bow tie. He was tired from the plane ride and was hot in the suit the agency makes him wear. Dan looked back at Alcatraz Island, something tells him that maybe this wasn't going to be an easy case to solve.
