Chapter 1

Liam Payne's POV

---------------------------------

"Are you sure, Liam?" My father asked me

I nodded furiously

"Maybe I should let one of your sisters do it, you might be too young"

"I'll be fine, Dad" I assured him, "trust me for once"

"But this is your first BIG mission, I don't think you're ready for it"

My hand rested on his shoulder in comfort, "I'll be fine Dad, I promise. Can you hand me my badge now, please?"

He sighed in defeat, "Alright Liam, but don't fool around. I know you"

I grabbed my over packed suitcase and pulled it towards the front of the car, "And I know me, and I would never do that on something this important to you and HQ"

My comforting smile calmed him down, "I love you, Dad"

"I love you too, Liam" He hugged me before I got out the car, " Be good"

"I'll try"

He gave me his serious stare

"I'm just kidding Dad, I will"

"Good" He started the car

"Hey, badge" I more demanded than asked

He tossed it out the window, I swiftly caught it

"Have a good flight" He rambled on

"Goodbye, Dad" I waved him off

"Goodbye, Liam" He softly spoke, then drove off

-------------------

Ariana's POV

"But it's not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line," I sang along to the stereo

I just finished packing for boarding school and now I'm just slightly fixing myself up

I'm supposed to go to the airport and wait for my new classmate to come and introduce myself

I decided on a white oversized sweater, black leggings, white heels, to not make myself look that short, and a white knit beanie to match my sweater, also its raining outside

Payne, Liam Payne is his name

Even sounds boring and strict

I thought my outfit should be right in the middle of casual and could care less

It's like not wanting to impress him, but I do at the same time

I've never seen him before, I've snopped through his files

He's a destructive boy, that's all I have to say

Almost good grades and somewhat awards, Like the ones everyone gets for 'trying your best'

It's a bunch of bullshit

He has potential, but he's just not using it

Probably too worried about the agency

I grabbed my keys and followed the directions I was given

*~*~*

Liam's POV

Where is she?

I just landed in California, rolling my bag through the halls, scouting for my new partner

Ariana Grande

17, Born and raised in Boca Raton, Florida, Parents split when young, 13 years of gymnastics, 9 years of martial arts, speciality is stealth, undercover identity is a singer, dancer, actress, etc.

What? Background Checking is necessary

Her file is good but nothing I'm really impressed by

I looked at her picture, visually searching for my new partner

8:29, My phone read, In 30 seconds she would be late

*~*~*

Ariana's POV

Adjusting my beanie, I walked in to the biggest lot on this side of town

I've always hated flying, that's why I'm glad he came over here, then me going over there

"Grande?" I felt someone tap on my shoulder, my training kicked in as I clutched his wrist and held it high above his head, "Good technique, but you are a little slow, grasshopper"

I looked at the person above me, chiseled features, brown eyes and curly brown hair that flipped at the ends that would stick if you put a bow on his head

"I'm guessing you are, Liam"
He smirked, showing a little bit of his pearly whites.
Easily releasing his hand from my light grip, he started grabbing his items from baggage claim, adjusting the small black Adidas backpack every few seconds, "What gave it away? I didn't see a name tag on my chest, Girl Scout"

My small smile faded to a fake one every time he turned around and a glare and the occasional mental middle finger when he turned to look for his things, "No, personnel said to look for a guy with curly bed head hair and the personality of a cat"

Liam didn't acknowledge my sassy remark with a comeback but just a snarky laugh, "Do you have a car?" He grabbed his things and looked down at my small figure.

"I called an Uber, it's just outside" I grabbed one of his smaller suitcases and led his towards the pickup area

"See you could be a good girl if you wanted to"

"Do you want me to drop this suitcase on your head?" The California heat suddenly hitting us as the rain that was previously here probably drifted towards the east, "You read my file didn't you?"

"Well, my father is head of the special forces you ARE working for" He picked up the suitcase in my hands and the one he was rolling out with him

"Oh right, daddy's boy gets everything," I got in the car first and reminded the driver of where we were going, while Liam situated everything, then getting in afterwards, "Everyone in the agency thinks it's unfair that just because you are son of the head, that you get to be the next head, even though most people there have been working longer than you have and deserve it more than you"

"Well those people can kiss my high powered ass" Liam looked at the traffic out of the right side window, avoiding eye contact with me, "Are you one of those people?"

My phone being my only interest at this point, I muttered, "Now I am"

DEDICATED TO EVERYONE WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD A PROLOGUE AND A SNEAK PEAK CHAPTER. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! (The picture above is what I think Liam's hair would look like in the next few chapters, and also why he would look like leaving the airport to find Ariana)
