Chapter 1

Ring...

Ring...

Ri-

"Hello?" A raspy tired voice says to a boy with brown curly hair.

"H-Hi Lou?" The curly haired boy says shifting in his bed uncomfortably.

I look down with him to see a tent growing at his crotch. The curly haired boy pouts.

"Hey Harry! What's up?" The man on the other end says.

Harry....

"I-I can't sleep.." The boy whispers.

"Hey.. It's okay babe.. You just need to calm down okay.." The man says in a hushed tone and the small boy makes a small 'mhmm' noise.

He's so vulnerable...

"Okay.. Lay down.." The man whispers and I watch to see the boy do as told. "Wrap the blankets around you and just get cosy.."

"Are you doing what I say?" The man asks.

"Yea.." The boy whispers softly.

"Okay... Breath in and out deeply." The man says and I watch to see the boy begin to calm down. "Okay.. Would you like me to tell a story?"

"C-can you.. Uhmm.. Sing..." The boy mumbles.

"I-I'm not good but I guess.. If it makes you feel better I will." The man whispers.

"Mum use to sing Gravity by Sara Bareilles.. Could you?" The boy asks.

"Sure thing babe.." The man yawns as he quietly sings the song and I listen to his sweet voice before the boy falls asleep.

It seems so real... And familiar...

I shoot up out of the bed hyperventilating and look around. I'm in my small dorm on my single bed alone.

Always alone.

I shake my head and run my fingers through my buzz cut. Rubbing my eyes I stand out of bed and make my way to the small bathroom in the corner of my room. I splash my face and brush my teeth before getting on my black outfit on.

Basically some black skinny yet stretchy pants with four pockets - Two on my waist, two by my knees. My shirt is a plant black long sleeves crew neck top and my black beanie.

I grab my belt with my knife and gun and strap it onto me before leaving my room to the main gym. I set a course for level 500. The highest level. The HQ are coming out with another 50 levels in 6 months. It's been two and a half years since the last update.

I enter the simulation and begin.

I have done this one 30 different times. Each time it changes slightly.

When I exit after two hours of fighting and sneaking to the target.

This one is an expensive necklace which belonged to princess Diana.

"Agent 454." My manager says.

"Yes sir." I bow my head.

"Come to my office in 30 minutes. Wash up." He instructs.

"Yes sir." I say before we both leave and I go to my room for a quick shower.

"Agent 454. We have decided to send you to a mission that has been going on for the past 10-15 years. Since you have been doing so well and you have managed to put your emotions away, you will be the one to investigate this mission. Here's the folder you will need for this. It has everything in it, from his identity to what you'll be dealing with."

"Yes sir." I nod in understanding.

"Good. We have a bag packed for you and a brief case on the plane with everything you will be needing." He says, "make your way to exit 223."

"Thank you sir."

"Your flying jet 4." He says and I take my leave walking towards exit 223. I show my card where needed as I exit the building and go straight for jet 4.

"Welcome Agent 454. I will need to see your card." A tall man in a suit says I show him my card and he writes down my security number before following me on the plane. He hands my card back and I look through the brief case waiting on the table.

"I will be watching you for the week to make sure you understand what is going on and to make sure you are ready for a spy position." He says and I nod. "If you need anything my number is programmed into the phone in the brief case."

"Sounds good." I say getting out the phone and typing in my set of code numbers. 02/22/14.

"By the way Harry if you are to come in contact with this man your name is Henry James." He says, "By the way I'm SSA 233."

"SSA? Pleased to meet you." I shake his hand before pulling out binoculars.

"Yes. And those would be your binoculars they will tell you the profile on a person who you are looking at." He explains.

"Cool."

"You also have something in there where you aim at the top of something and a grabbing device will shoot out with a centimeter thick wire which is up to 1 kilometer long. You won't need to use all of it though. It's just in case. Also it will be able to hold up to 1000 pounds of weight." He explains.

"Sounds like fun." I mumble.

What is fun? I don't think I have ever had 'fun' before. Well they did get rid of most my memories so I probably did have some sort of fun before.

"In your brief case you'll also have a hotel card. Go to the Eccleston Square Hotel. It's by the Big Ben. They're the only ones who know of our HQ outside of the people who work there. All you have to do is swipe your agent card when you first get there and when you leave you swipe out. Your lucky you got to go to London usually the HQ has people living in homes with another person. Usually the person who needs to have protection." He explains and I nod. "Okay I will let you go through the file now. You're Henry James. You're 23 years old and you like to read adventure books." He says in confirmation of my new identity.

Henry James. 23. Adventure books.

"Yes sir." I nod picking out the folder and putting everything else in the brief case. I go to the sofa along the wall of the jet and kick back. I open the folder and first notice the mans blue eyes. Such a deep, dreamy like blue. I take in the rest of the features on the man so I can pick him out of a crowd. His hair is styled in this photo and he has a nice jaw line.

I continue to read through his profile. Key facts like:

Name: William Smith

Age: 28 years old

Job: Professor at the University

Hangs out most: Home, The University, Starbucks, The park

They all stick in my head as I continue to read through what I will be dealing with.

This man, William Smith, will be a character to work with...

********
