OPERATION UNKNOWN

Chapter 9

"Uh-huh and I'm a secret agent who can't even visit her boyfriend who nearly died." I said grinning back.

"Yep. So how was your day?" Christian asked.

"Oh you know same ole same ole....Got to practice my moves...."

"Practice your moves? Are you OK?"

"Chill. I'm fine. Speaking of I need to visit him tomorrow..." I said drifting off into my head to make plans.

"Whoa-ho no way! Stop crossing paths with danger!"

"Yeah, like that'll happen. Honey I am practically besties with danger. So no. Anywho, have you rested? Are you OK like nobody's giving you a hard time or anything?" I asked.

"Oh I'm fine. What's not to like? I get a personal security detail. A hot nurse-"

"A what?" I asked jealous.

"A nice nurse..." he drifted off. We talked about pointless stuff until Christian got caught by Rileys replacement.

The next morning, after my peaceful sleep in the car, I drove to my house to brush my teeth. I sneaked in fully aware that even though I did my best sneaking I would get caught because this was a house full of experienced spies.

"Nice of you to show up." Riley said biting into a piece of toast. I winced before I turned around and replied "Well I had to eat. I didn't plan on starving."

"Sure you didn't. Mom left early."

"Whatever."

*

After breakfast I went to the headquarters to meet with my villain.

"Chief won't let you near him." informed Shyram.

"Oh for Gods sake! He attacked me!" I retorted.

"Chiefs orders." I sighed and climbed up the stairs to the chiefs office and barged in.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked enraged.

"What do you think you're doing Agent Carter." asked my step dad calmly.

"Bullshit. I want permission to talk to the guy who nearly killed me last night."

"Why?"

"Why?! Because he nearly killed me! That's why!" I said even more furious.

"Nearly Carter."

"You can bet on whoever and whatever that I will see him and I will get all the information that I need out of him."

"Is that a threat Agent Carter?"

"You bet it is." I sneered and walked out straight to my mothers office.

*

"You did what?!" my mother yelled.

"You heard me." I answered, looking her straight in the eye.

"Agent Carter you will show me respect in this office."

"Oh please. Call me Savannah. That's what my family and friends call me." I replied sarcastically.

"Savannah why are you doing this? You used to be so sweet and respectful, but ever since..." she stopped.

"Ever since what? Ever since what mom? Ever since dad died? Say it." I mocked her.

"Savannah stop it." she said closing her eyes.

"No mom. I wont. Ever since dad died you haven't been the same. You didn't investigate further on what exactly happened to dad. You didn't find out who his killers were. You just moved on and went out with other guys to replace him."

"STOP IT!" mom screamed.

"I wish dad was here. He'd have made this better. Радуйтесь со своей семьей в прекрасной земле жизнь. Но его нет. Есть мама?" I told her in Russian. My dad was half Russian and his favorite quote was 'Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life.' He used to say it to us every morning.

"You have permission to talk to him." Mom whispered. "But Savannah there are some things I can't tell you or Riley. I wish I could but I can't. Not if I want to see you again." There were fresh tears rolling down her face. I nodded my gratitude and walked out to the interrogation room.

"I wont tell you even if you kill me." the man replied in a heavy Italian accent.

"Oh? And why not?" I asked, my eyebrows raised and my arms folded.

"Perché tu sei una cagna stupida." he laughed maniacally.

I sighed. My patience was wearing thin. "Senti signor, se tu non mi dica adesso quello che voglio sapere allora si soffre. Segnatevi le mie parole. Now can we change back to English for recording purposes. Thanks. OK, who sent you to kill me and why? See easy question."

"Same reason I set fire to Christians house. To kill you so my master can have you out of his life." he spit.

"Who is this master?" I asked leaning close to him.

"Who else? Your padre."

"Never talk about my father like that." I said, venom dripping from my words and punched him unconscious.
