The team got a private jet to take them to Prague. Looking out the window, Alanna felt like she was back with her old team at Quantico. She was glad she fit into this team and a sense of comfort finally laid in her heart. She sat across from Tommy and she could feel his eyes on her, though she wished she could know what he was thinking. Tommy found himself gazing at Alanna. The sun, shinning through the window of the plane, made her beautiful face glow. She had a mixture of green/blue eyes that were brighter than the sea. She had a gentle smile yet a spicy spirit; that of a perfect Irish woman. He hadn't had feelings like this in a long time, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to have them.
Alanna, getting slightly annoyed by Tommy's glances, thought to stare back at him. But before she could act on her thoughts, her phone buzzed in her pocket. Pulling it out a familiar name popped up on the screen; Brody Kramer. A smile crept on Alanna's face.
Brody had taught a few classes at the FBI Academy while Alanna was a student there. He graduated 2 years before her, and was now the assistant Director of Homeland Security for the United States. While in the Academy, Alanna and Brody found themselves to have a mutual attraction for one another. They casually dated while Alanna was Stateside, but neither of them claimed a relationship. It was just a "for fun" kind of fling.
"Agent Flynn" Alanna answered.
"Good morning, Agent Flynn" Brody's smooth voice came over. Memories of Brody flooded her mind. He stood at 6 feet, tan skin, dark hair that was kept neatly. He always was dressed in a suit that somehow managed to show how fit he was.
"Good morning? Aren't you in DC?" Alanna asked. He chuckled.
"You'd wish huh? I'm in Prague" He said.
Alanna's mouth slightly hung open in surprise.
"What? Why? I'm heading there now" Alanna said, with some excitement. Tommy, not trying to listen in couldn't help but wonder what Alanna was so excited for, considering it was 5 in the morning.
"I know, I needed to get in contact with you so I called Michel. He said you were on your way to Prague for a case. I'm hoping your boss will let me have you for an hour or two when you get here" He said, with a more serious tone.
"Wait, what's so important that you'd travel all the way to Prague?" Alanna asked, confused. He sighed.
"I'll pick you up when your jet lands and take you out for breakfast. We can discuss it then" He said.
"Um, okay, we'll be landing in two hours" Alanna replied
"I'll be there. I'll see you soon" He said.
"Okay, bye Brody" Alanna said before he could hang up.
Alanna looked back down at her phone and wondered what made Brody get on a plane just to come see her. They weren't a serious couple, in fact they weren't a couple at all. People would describe them as friends with "benefits".
"You okay, Alanna?" Tommy's voice broke her thoughts. She looked up to see his concerned eyes.
"Oh yeah, just a call from an old friend" Alanna said to him with a short smile. Tommy realized that Alanna was hard to read. She kept her thoughts and emotions well hidden when need be.
He watched as she got out of her seat to sit next to Major Louis.
"Sorry to disturb you, Louis" Alanna started.
"No, not at all, something bothering you?" Louis asked, noticing her fidgeting fingers.
"A friend of mine is going to pick me up from the hanger. It's an important meeting, and I was wondering if it would be okay with you. I mean we're not setting up for the case until the afternoon" Alanna said.
