A Furious Chick

A Case is A Case

Katherine

The weeks that pass are extremely busy. I have to sign documents saying that I will lead this organization with perfection. There's a few that's basically me giving my life to this organization. It's a lot. I move into the office, putting up pictures of the girls and me and Brian on our wedding day. I hang up my certificates when I joined the team. I even assigned a new little change in the uniforms. Every member of Nobody Inc must wear their guns on a belt while working in the office. Just in case we're under attack or anything.

"Ms. Nobody?" My new assistant, Kami, knocked on my door.

I looked at her.

"Line 1, there's a potential case."

"Thank you." I give her a nod. She left and I picked up the phone. "Nobody."

"Ms. Nobody. Or should I say Katherine Howard?" A British voice came from the other line.

I knew that voice all too well. Chase Michaels. How could I forget the man that helped me rescue my mother?

"It's Ms. Nobody." I replied.

"Marriage, kids, promotion. I take it America has suited you well." He chuckled.

"What is it?" I rolled my eyes.

"The British base has been compromised. There are people on my team that have betrayed us, blew us up. Barely have enough stable men left. Two other bases were hit. We need the Americans help."

"Why can't you handle this alone?" I asked.

"I just told you I barely have enough men that can work. When have you ever heard of me asking for outside help. Well I need it. And the first person I thought of calling was Mr. Nobody. And it's to my surprise he retired and his adopted daughter took over."

"Send me files. I'll rally up my team." I sighed.

"Thank you, Katherine. And it will be a pleasure working with you, again." He hung up the phone.

I grabbed my cellphone and texted the group chat.

Everyone to Nobody Inc. Stat.

The team showed up a half an hour later. I waited for them to put on their belts and join me in the conference room. I had the case files already on the desk for them.

"Hey, honey." I kissed Brian.

"Alina has the girls. They're napping." Brian informed me.

"Good." I nodded.

The team settled in.

"We're going to London." I announced.

"What?" Kaleb frowned.

"Yep. They need our help."

"I thought the Brits were against us." Letty crossed her arms.

"They were. They are. But they still need our help. They were betrayed by their own and bombed, so was other bases. We need to get ahold of this and figure it out before the bases are wiped out completely." I continued.

"And what'll happen if they're gone completely."

"Crime rate will go up in London, our resources will be cut off." I listed, about to continue.

"No." Brian shook his head.

"Excuse me?" I paused.

"We don't want to go to London and help the team that took you away from us, Kat."

"When we're in this office, it's Ms. Nobody." I corrected.

Brian looked appalled.

"And that team helped me get my mother back. So before you get all emotional, shut the fuck. This isn't an offer that's going to be declined. We're going or I'll find another team that's loyal. You decide right now."

"Are you sure you're ready to be away from your girls, Katherine?" Dom broke in because Brian was about to say something and I'm pretty sure it was going to be rude.

I nodded. "We'll be staying at my childhood home. The girls are coming."

"Like hell they are!" Brian stood up, his face red. "You not only want to go to London and potentially die but bring our girls? Have you lost your mind?!"

I took a moment to take a deep breath. "Brian, I'm about two seconds away from punching you in the temple. Do you know how much security surrounds my home? Do you? No? Okay. Then shut the fuck up. Alina will come, look after the girls while we do the heavy lifting. This is not a debate, it's not an argument, we're going. Plane leaves in an hour. Go and get ready."
