Guns and Giggles

21. Covers and Cuts

Song: Say you love me

Okay I know this a humorous book but the plot deserves atleast 2 sad chapters! It's still kinda funny!

Here I was. Back at work, after threatening my boss that I'll do unassigned projects, like kill someone important. Or have a deep emotional feelings for someone.

"This woman hasn't aged a day since 25!" I slammed the vanilla folder at Oli's desk.

He just sighs and stops writing his report knowing I have more to say.

"She has a family ancestry that dates back to the 1500s probably even older AND she lives in a castle where people visit her and work for her BY THEIR FREE WILL!" I stress on the important parts.

"So...?" He asked me to continue.

"She's a Werewolf!" I exclaimed, probably looking like a lunatic with my crazy bun hair and larger than life hoodie.

"Okay you need to stop reading the werewolf books which are in the FANTASY section FYI. And stop with the conspiracies already! You work for a secret service, YOU are a conspiracy." He closes my file and turns my chair around, tipping me over until I get up for balance.

I run my hand through my new bangs, still getting used to them. My new name and look came right after I was done with interrogations 3 weeks ago.

The woman in my file was someone of a great importance, probably the alpha female, and needed our help in the 10th anniversary of the peace meeting held every year but the few elites of the country. It was a fancy way of hiring bodyguards.

I was supposed to meet this woman in an hour to discuss what she wants from our team and boy was I ready.

Let's be honest here, I've had my fair share of Supernatural entities and Other worldy interactions that I'm not at liberty to discuss but none of them were handed over to me on a silver plate. And if she really is a werewolf, I have a lot of questions.

I picked something business casual from my new closet and drove to the niche restaurant where we had our trusted meetings to see her waiting at the table looking regal as f- fun... I corrected myself. New persona new vocabulary.

The woman let out a spark of recognition instantly with wide eyes and tried to cover it up.

"Hello I'm Alicia from the service so secret we don't even know it's name" I joked to make her comfortable, as I'm trained to.

"Hii I'm Ella the mystery woman" she let's out a nervous chuckle.

"So shall we begin?" We start with the schedule and look at the blue print of the building where the meeting will be held to cover all the exits. Look at me still looking at the fastest way out of a situation, somethings never change.

"Alph- Uhrm- E-Ella I'm here to pick you up, boss is getting restless" a cute guy scratches his head.

"Daniel! Meet Alicia, she will be helping us at the peace meeting." She stares at him for some time.

"Oh yeah hey! I'm Daniel, Ella's friend, I look forward to seeing you" he mentioned loosely.

"I'm not so sure about that" I mumbled under my breath.

After Daniel left Ella waited with me to chat up, seemingly wanting to spend more time on me rather than whatever important thing the 'boss' wanted. And I got her to confess her genetic reality.

It was an Eureka moment really! I screamed 'I knew it!' so loud most of the people reached for their guns, some even hovering their hands over their crotch. Ew. Get a holder.
