Shattered Heart (Completed)

Chapter One: Beyond an Agent's Duty

DJ's POV

more than two years later...

"Is that all you can do, Ford? Come on man, surely you can do better." Quen, my partner, said teasing. He held the boxing bag tighter in front of me and shouted for me to punch harder.

"I'm tired. Seriously dude, we've been doing this for hours!" I whined but still throwing punches towards the bag.

"Ok, we'll stop, but only if you get the bag fall on the floor just buy punching it." He smiled at me cockily.

"Piece of cake." I smiled back punching the bag harder, after just few punches, the bag fell on the floor. "Guess we're done here." I grinned looking at him, he's eyes were wide and shock was all over his face.

"Agent Ford, Agent Gil, Carter's requesting for you." Mike shouted across the gym, making Quen snap back to reality and the other agents look at us.

"What does he wants?" Quen whispered as we made our way to Carter's office.

"How should I know?" I whispered yelled at him. I knocked at the door three times before Carter answered, letting us in.

"What's this about?" I asked, I glanced over his troubled face. Why does he look like that? CArter's one of the greatest Agent of all times. Nothing made him nervous, not ever.

"Agent Ford and Agent Gil, what I have in my hands right now is your new assignment." He began, waving a folder in front of us. "You'll be working as under covers. And guard the Philippines' president's daughters." He continued.

"Wait, what? so technically, we're going to be bodyguards?" I asked in this belief. We're SWAT agents for crying out loud. All those trainings aren't for this matter!

"Under covers, but yes, bodyguards, but you'll be guarding the Philippines' most important teenagers." He answered trying to soothe us with his words.

"Uh-uh, no way in hell will I be guarding anyone. We're SWAT agents, surely we did not undergo all those training for nothing!" I reasoned. I heard that this girls are 17 and 18 years old. Well, not really much younger than I cause I myself is just 18. We're special agents so in any way, wern't to serve for this kind of matter.

"Tone, Agent Ford. May I remind you that you're working for me. And I get to tell what to do." He said eyeing me. But his face was still soft and not that hard. "The president requested you two himself. He heard about your performances. And he wants the best for her daughters. He also said that, if you finished this assignment successfully, you'll get what ever you want." He added, looking at us knowingly.

"Even front line?" Quen had finally found his voice to speak. He'd been silent since we arrived in Carter's office.

"Even front line." Carter answered, fighting off a smile that was playing on his lips. 

"Why didn't you say so. Let's start this mission!" I exclaimed, suddenly being excited about this assignment. Front line, who would not want that? We'll be the youngest one to get that job if we'll be successful, which I think won't be that hard.

"That's more like it." He couldn't help but giggle. "In this folders are your assignments for 5 months." He continued while handling each of us a folder. Five months, only five months, five months and I'll be front line.

"Hold you horses boys." He said as he saw Quen and I looking at each other and smiling like crazy. "This wouldn't be so easy as you thought. This are the first daughters you'll be guarding. And there's  one problem." suddenly I felt the adrenaline in my body subside. "One of his daughter's was held captive by Paul Martin, the head of the Martian Syndicate. And his going to under go trail in 4 months. The president fears that if he get's the pardon, he'll be let out and go after his eldest daughter, Julia Agatha. Who happens to be the star witness for the case." He looked serious as he finished the statement. Of course, this is Paul Martin we're talking about. The biggest syndicate's head. He's one of the world's most dangerous men.
