after it all

Chapter 2

" Ms.Morgan , I trust your mission went well. I'm assuming that you were okay going at it alone?" The director asked as I sat down in the worn out chair that sat opposite from his desk.

"Yes Mr.Montgomery, everything went according to plan. Thank you for asking."  (Mr.Montgomery is the directors name if you were curious)

" And the disposal of the target?"

" He was secured in our Russian prison at exactly noon on August 12th just as you asked. "

"Excellent, any other trouble?"

I smiled "Apart from the targets constant whining , the mission was a breeze." He stared at me for a moment. "And what did you do exactly to stop this whining of his Ms.Morgan?" My smile revived again

"Just the classic Cameron Ann Morgan  martial arts techniques." ( Seriously you don't want to know) Mr.Montgomery couldn't even hide his quick flash of amusement.

" Couldn't you be patient with your temptation just for once Cameron?"

"Oh Mr.Montgomery , you should know very well by now that patience and temptation don't work very with me ."

"I suppose your right" Is all he said.

"But that's not why I called you in so early this morning Ms.Morgan."

"It isn't?"

"No, your here because I've assigned you to another mission. A very special one if I might add."

" Alright. And when will this mission be?" I had become curious.

"It starts as soon as possible."

"Oh" I tried to hide my disappointment in my voice but failed miserably. You see I have actually never stopped working since leaving Gallagher . That's right, for two years straight I have never taken a sick day or had any annual leave ever! I know, call me a workaholic. But there is no point taking leave if your friends and family are always to busy working all over the world. Gee, life of a spy. So I was actually kind of looking forward to having a little time off and relax . Who knows, I may have gone to visit Mum and Joe at the academy.

The director frowns "Does this not suit you?" I quickly composed what ever facial expression I was showing. "Of course it suits me Mr Montgomery , I had nothing planned " I instantly regretted saying that last sentence. He sighs " I know you were planning to take some time off and seeing as you have never done so , I welcomed it fully. But this is such an important mission and we need the best Operatives there are out there. And this shouldn't come as a surprise that you are one of the best agents out there. " He had a point. Call me arrogant , but I was a pretty amazing spy.

"Tell you what, after you get back, you'll be granted 6 weeks leave."

"Six!" I was shocked, that's a whole month more than I had originally planned. "Yes six. My best operative needs to rest up at some point doesn't she?" He exclaims.

"I suppose you're right." I say

"Suppose?" His hand sways in dismay, "Of course I'm right! So, do you accept this mission?" I sigh, hoping I won't regret may decision, "Yes Mr.Montgomery , I accept this mission."
