THE AGENCY

Chapter 3: MISSION TIME!

MISSION TIME

I woke up to feel something jab me gently. I roll over and bunch up the covers as I try to stay warm. "Sky. Come on. It's time to get up, Princess. Rise and shine!" I flutter my eyes open as Xander yanks off my comforter.

"What the...how do you know where I live?" I rub my chilled arms and bare legs. I was on my bed in nothing, but booty shorts and a skimpy tank top. A blush creeps at my cheeks.

"Sorry to wake you up Sleeping Beauty, but it's 5:45 and you have 15 minutes to get ready, so up and at it,"

"Out! Get out of my apartment!" He gives me mischievous look. "Now!" I yell at him. He puts his hands up in surrender and exits the room. I blow out a breath. I quickly rush into the bathroom and look at my appearance. I look like I passed through a tornado. I sigh and slip on my mission suit. I push my handgun into my waistband and slip on my leather jacket. I take out my bun and let my bouncy black curls frame my face. I put on my scarlet gloss with a bit of eye shadow as I step out of my apartment. Since when do I dress to impress? I also pull on my heeled black combat boots. Then I walk to the agency center. I walk into the conference room with a prideful stride. My gaze meets Xander's and he looks me up and down as he lets out a cough. His eyes go wide, but then he looks away. Score! I think to myself. John walks in and I sit on the table next to him. He gives me a once over as well.

"Sky..."

" Don't, John.... Just don't." I state with a frown.

"We'll report back to you tonight, John. We'll be back tomorrow night around 9:00pm."

"Agent Shield, I need to speak with you." John says. I give him a glare. Then I roll my eyes. Xander gives me a sympathetic look. As soon as they step out of the room I run to the door and press my ear against it. I hear them talking.

"Shield, I trust you with Agent Blue. I hope you understand that her safety is your responsibility." What the...!!! How dare he hire me some sort of body guard and then call him my partner!!! I run back to my chair and wait for them to come back. I will go along with their plan, but make it just a bit harder for them. They both walk in and I plaster a fake smile on my face. I can immediately tell that Xander doesn't buy it. He frowns, but motions for me to follow him. He leads me into a white BMW.
