I walked into the party. Everyone turned to stare at me. A nervous feeling came over me but I tried to remain calm, confident and mysterious as I carefully searched for Malory. Once I spotted her I made my way over to her. However, I wasn't the only agent working the party scene. Lana and Sterling were both present too.

I stood on Malory's right and Lana was on her left. Lana was talking to Lord Gustavus Feltchley. I smiled mildly and watched Gustavus plant a wet kiss on the back of Lana's hand. Lana quickly yanked her hand away after telling him that was enough. I snicker escaped my lips but I quickly covered it while turning to grab a drink from a passing waiter.
"And Who is this fine diamond?" Gustavus asked, looking at me.
I returned my attention back at the topic at hand.
"I am Alia Fleming," I introduced, holding my hand out to him. "You must be Gustavus Feltchlev. I have heard lots about you.."
"What a gorgeous name for such a woman!" Gustavus replied, taking my hand and planting a none so wet kiss on the back of it.
After releasing my hand he turned back Lana and questioned her about her ex- boyfriend until Cyril walked up beside her. When Cyril introduced himself as Lana's boyfriend Gustavus wagged his finger and continued to deny it believing Lana and Archer were still together. Gustavus started to describe Archer and this clicked between the two.
"Oh, you mean my ex boyfriend..." Lana grumbled.
"Archer," Cyril muttered, bitterly and coldly.
Gustavus was still talking about him before Archer announced that he was a secret agent in the middle of the room. My head snapped in his direction as I watched him drop a glass onto the floor. Oh my god. He's drunk again and trying to pick up a very manly looking woman if you ask me.. That could be interesting and a great conversation at the office... I mentally thought with a sly smirk. I watched in horror as Archer ripped the woman's dress off. Underneath the 'woman's' gown was a bomb strapped to their chest. Everyone gawked in horror and shock. I was first to quickly recover. My legs moved first as the lady started to reach in their pocket. Either for the bombs activation button or another weapon.
"Look out Archer!" I called, moving quickly to his side but he took a tray from a waiter and knocked the person out from behind.
Everyone cheered and praised him for discovering the assassin. Gustavus thanked him for saving him and Archer called him Santa Claus in return. I walked over quickly and grabbed Archer's arm. Archer drunkly leans against my side. I could smell the strong liquor radiating off him. I tried not to wrinkle my nose in disgust.
"I'm sorry Gustavus. My friend here is just a little shy and tired," I lied. "I better get him home. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I'm sorry our conversation was cut so short."
