Mr Pierce Hitch indirectly became my escape excuse from Mr Federick Archer's unexpected trip when he called me way too early in the morning. As the non-field acting leading executive director of my agency, he was in charge of the entire company whenever I am not in the picture. He is to make sure the safety, privacy, values, name, and honour of the agency are kept under any situation. That is if he wants to keep his head attached to his shoulder.
By taking my seat as the leader while I'm taking a break from major missions for the sake of my family, Pierce very well knew all the risks and challenges that came with the position. Despite the dangers along with having to run all the crucial decisions through me first and being under my mild supervision Pierce was still thrilled at having the power and authority to partially control the agency, thus basically controlling half of the world.
For that reason and the plain reality that I don't wholly trust Pierce, I secretly have one of my agents' spy on him and give me special reports about him and his behaviours. And I was recently proven right to have done so. Allegedly, Pierce has been taking immense pleasure being in control when I am not around.
Not to mention his endless driven ambition to have more access to the entire agency, to be more in control than what he already was and a hunger to know all of the worldly secrets in correlation with this agency. All of which has led me to be more on guard and suspicion towards him. Albeit, I could still kick him out if I wanted and needed too, I also wanted to be fair towards him given he has been with this agency since my father opened this place.
Furthermore, his presence on my chair has helped me step down from my high horses to sort through a few things in my personal life. To retake better control of my life in general. To take care of my other company, to grieve properly, to be more of a mother to my kids, along with creating a better and stable lifestyle for all of us. Despite being a mother who is not often present, who keeps a lot of secrets, I am nonetheless still a mother. One who can now proudly say she has taken better responsibility to fulfil her role.
Instead of being out on long-ass cases several times in a mere year, of being in the field and handling cases that would require me to be gone for half the year, sometimes, even more, I have now toned down to less than 5 cases in a year. I've changed my life so much since my boys turned 9 and 10 that my previous life now seems like a completely different world, where my good days meant something utterly different. Sure I am still gone for a long duration of time, but during those instances, I've gone as far as making sure I'm not gone for more than one month straight. Despite all the changes, one thing was for sure, my past life never bothered me; instead, it made me happier and carefree. I welcomed, embraced and lived for the danger and uncertain adventure.
However, with this motherly aspect of my life, my spy life has been reduced to only critical, dangerous and necessary cases. Which was why I was curious as well as restless about Pierce's call. I was unsure if the reason behind his call was for a new case or my personal vendetta cold case. One which was an immense and disastrous failure 10 years ago. A case which I have obsessively been working on in my own time in the hope of finding a new clue.
