LOVING MITCHIE

Chapter Twelve

Dinner was a noisy affair back at the organization. Not that he didn't like the food or something, heaven knows Shelly, bless that old woman, cooks the best meals in the universe but he was back where he didn't want to be.
Popularly known as Agent M, Roland Golden had always been the best of the best. When he got recruited, he learnt a lot, to be an assassin, a remarkable sniper, many more. But that was being crushed as some juniors schemed about who he was, when he came in with other agents, the juniors hollered greetings at the other agents, when they saw him, he paused, expecting them to greet him too.. They had this look on their faces like.... Uhh, you are?
Yes, he wasn't always around, he went for so many operations outside the organization, tch, they did lack respect, he thought.
Now he sat at a table, eating his meal slowly, while the juniors stared holes at him. Thinking about Ryder's case, he got lost in his thoughts.
"How come you're back?"
"I can't exactly say it's good to be back. Your boss is a major asshole", he replied the lady. Amanda Cassidy, known as Agent K, his partner, other than Lennie, and friend on several occasions. They went on many jobs together until his current one.
"Not that he doesn't know, I thought you quit, why did you come back? ", she asked harshly  and sat opposite him. Yes, she cared about him but sometimes she talked quite sarcastically that he wanted to strangle her. Not that she didn't know, she just didn't care.
" Your boss. Again."
He nodded at some agents that hollered his name. "Lemme guess, he put you on a case, didn't know you quit?", she asked, chuckling.
He just groaned. He couldn't deny, the job was thrilling. He loved every bit of it. Ryder sure was clever, he wiped his tracks quite well. Other than drugs, he was into porn making, just like his father. Ryder's elder brother was still the only one that made legit money and he sure was proud of it. Drugs and see, they always went had in hand.
Kai Benedict, Lenny's boss and an aging man of sixty eight was a stone faced man that always mirrored no emotion. It was very hard to know what he was thinking sometimes. Kai was walking with Lennie. The man, he had this aura of authority about him, one of the things Lennie admired about him. Roland watched them for a while, wondering what they were talking about. Lennie just nodded, his face hard. Minutes later, Kai turned, nodded at Roland as if he knew Roland was starting at him. He smirked and left. Roland scowled deeply this time. Amanda just laughed.

"Faster Zeko", ordered Ryder to his driver as they sped along the freeway, heading for Los Angeles.
"Are you okay, boss?", Zeko asked.
"Shut the fuck up, ya sound like a broken record", Ryder growled.
"Sorry boss"
"Forget it! "
It had been a bad week. Michie Parrish was free, walking about freely while his father rotted away in the grave, of course he was seething. But then, just like that, his brother had called him from New York.
" The word is out, you're to stop bothering the lady"
The lady! Ha! Michie Parrish was no lady! One day, he was going to get her.
"There was a meeting yesterday brother. Stop harassing her"
Tch, that didn't mean it was over. He did cause a lot of trouble for her over the hotel. Lucky' was almost burned to the ground one time, unfortunately, the idiot was caught by the police. Attempted arson. He took care of him, made sure he didn't say a word. Ryder knew who listen to. One of these days, he would get the can't. One of these days.
