Angels Can Fly

Chapter 2 ~ How I Deal With It

I arrived home. Bailey was sitting on a kitchen stool on his phone. I wrapped my arms around him from behind.

"Hey, I was just about to call you."

He kissed me on the cheek and hugged me back.

"Did you kick some ass?"

"Of course!"

"That's my girl!"

Piper and Seth came into the kitchen and sat down next to Bailey. They were both in their pjs.

"Who's up for a movie night since it's Friday and a public holiday on Monday?"

"Hell yes!"

We all agreed that the girls would choose the movie. We choose Saw III since we hadn't seen that one yet. I changed into some comfy clothes and snuggled next to Bailey on the couch as we grabbed me in a warm hug.

The movie started and Piper and me were laughing at the movie and the guys were screaming. When the movie ended, we all went to bed. I cuddled Bailey as I fell into a deep slumber.

************************************

I woke up the next morning to the smell of waffles wafting throughout the apartment. I wandered into the kitchen and saw waffles in the toaster with maple syrup and ice cream on the bench.

I sat down at the bench on a stool next to Piper with my waffles and a hazelnut cappuccino. I checked for any notifications on my phone and laptop of missions that needed to be attended to. Two. One where I needed to find out the identity of a lady from another spy branch and another mission to find out where Semara's HQ was and where he was hiding out.

"Hey guys I got some missions for us!"

Piper and Bailey were FBI members. As for Seth, he was still learning but is good to get information off.

Bailey got up off the couch with an empty plate and a mug of peppermint tea. I thought it was cute how he drank tea. I however, am a coffee drinker during the day and tea drinker at night - unless I need to pull an allnighter. I shoved my laptop at Piper and Bailey as they read the missions.

"Nice, we got this!"

Bailey was obviously an optimist. If you can't already tell. Seth came up behind Piper.

"I've seen her somewhere!"

He motioned to the lady who looked very suspicious. We all looked questionably at him.

"Where?"

We all chorused.

"Once at he beach and and The Coffee Club. And both those times she was with some guy!"

"What guy? What did he look like?"

Seth thought for a minute.

"Brown hair, tanned skin, kinda hoboish looking, if you know what I mean!"

I froze. What he just described match the guy I killed last night perfectly! I made a brake for my room.

"Where are you going?"

"Everyone, prepare for a mission. Be in the car, ready in 10!"

I pulled on black leggings, black sports bra and combat boots. Again. I put on bb cream, concealer, powder, did my eyebrows, mascara, and put on lip balm. I went into to he kitchen and shoved my phone in my back pocket. I grabbed my lucky knife and gun and put them in a pocket holder thing that ran halfway down my leg. I got in the car followed by Piper and Seth - Bailey was already in the passenger seat. I got in the drivers seat and turned the ignition.

"So, where are we going?"

"That guy that Seth described. I killed him last night. Followed dad's directions!"

The memory of the dark alley, flashed back at me as I drove down the street.

"So, where are we going?"

"To a dark alley!"

"Should've known. So you didn't grab any of him ID?"

"I know stupid right? Like I said, just following dad's orders!"

We pulled into a parking space and got out.

"I hope you have all dressed appropriately?"

They all nodded. Piper wore black leggings, a black Adidas jumper and colourful nikes. The guys wore jeans, graphic shirts and nikes. We walked down the long alley and I locked the car behind us. I held Baileys hand as we reached the body.

"Looks like it's been untouched."

I knelt down beside the body, letting go of Baileys hand. I put on some rubber gloves that I pulled out of my pocket. I put them on and reached into the victims pocket.

"Here goes!"

I felt around for any means of ID or a wallet. Got it.

"Bingo!"

I revealed a wallet and opened it up and saw ID. I read it out.

"Frederick Maya."

I showed the rest of the guys the ID. I fiddled around for more ID and for a photo of the lady I'm meant to be finding out who she is.

"That's her!"

"No shit!"

"Maybe, they worked together?"

Seth said with astonishment on his face. I shook my head.

"Maybe. No but we can't be sure they even knew they were both in the same kind of business!"

Behind the photo was more ID. It read Frederick Maya, member of Semara's PI agency. I showed them and they didn't look that surprised.

"Is that Antonio Sem...?"

Piper punched Seth in the stomach. No one know that I was still afraid of meeting Semara still. NO ONE. They all just thought I was over it, but they still didn't want to find out.

"Yeah it is..."

I got up and dusted myself off, still holding the ID. We walked back to the car. I took off the gloves and chucked them in the bin.

"Let's get this ID back to HQ to file."

We all agreed to stop at McDonald's and grab some lunch first through the drive-thru. We ordered and drove through where we would receive our meals. When we reached the window where we were handed our food our jaws dropped. The lady I was meant to find out who she was, was right there. Her dark red hair was pulled into a tight bun and her tanned skin was flawless. There was a name on her badge.
