Silmarillion: A Distant Future

Chapter Twenty-Two

"Aegnor! Get up!" Maglor said knocking on the door. "You have work!"

Maglor heard rustling and footsteps he then opened the door. He saw Aegnor standing there he looked like he just woke up. His hair was a mess and his shirt was all wrinkled and he just looked all sleepy. "You look tired," Maglor stated.

"I am just tried," Aegnor replied.

"Don't you have work today?" Maglor asked.

"No. I have the day off they need to spray the office since they have a bug thing." Aegnor said with a yawn.

"I see," Maglor replied. "Well, I have to get to work."

"Okay," Aegnor said with a yawn. Maglor gave a nod and headed off. They had been back for a week and since life was getting back to normal once more. Xander's apartment was fixed and he went home. Maglor checked his phone as he walked out to his car he and Maedhros have been emailing each other. Rowan also let him use his phone so they can talk which Maglor was very thankful for. He let out a breath and got into his car and headed to work.

As he drove he started to think about everything that has happened and just how strange that no one as questioning anything. It was weird since he was acting strangely but his boss said nothing. He got to his desk and his boss came over to him and said, "Mark. The man who you have been working for over the past few months is in my office waiting for you."

Maglor looked at his boss and was about to question it but he stopped. A few months? He thought. He just gave a nod and said, "Right."

He stood up and walked to his boss's office. The shades to the windows were pulled down when he got to the door. He stepped inside and found a tall man sitting at his boss's desk. The man had dark black hair that was a bit on the long side. It was tied back and he wore a dark suit and he had light green eyes. "Ah. Mark Singer, a pleasure to meet you." He said as he stood up and held out his hand.

"Right...who are you?" Maglor asked as he stood there folding his arms. The man drew his hand back and sat down.

"Sit. Please," He said gesturing to a chair across from his desk. "Speak freely. No one is listening," He said.

"I am. Who are you? My boss said I have been working for you for a few months." Maglor said.

"That's right. You have been working for me in a covert op that neede someone like you to do what you have been doing. The head of the FBI has taken care of everything as you can see," He said and handed Maglor a document. Maglor took it and looked it over and it was a detailed file but everything in it was false. Yet, it all made perfect sense it even included stuff about Australia that was cleared by the Australian government. Maglor looked from it to the man who sat across from him.

"What is this?" Maglor asked.

"A cover," He replied. "Unless you want to tell the FBI that you are an immortal elf who was helping his cousin who came back to life out."

Maglor tensed and said, "What do you want?"

"You can relax, I am not your enemy if I was I we will not be having this conversation here. Don't you think?" He asked.

"Right...but you never answered me. Who are you?" Maglor asked.

"Alton Wood," He said.

"Alton?" Maglor asked looking at him.

"That's right," He replied sitting back.

"Alright. You got the head of the FBI to sign this...how?" He asked. "And for that matter how do you know who I am or...what I am or about my cousin?"
