Spies In Love

Chapter 27

I woke up to Ash lightly shaking my shoulder. I sat up groggily and looked at Ash. His eyes shone in the morning light entering the room from my window and his hair had turned lighter. He smiled. "Rise and shine Sam. Breakfast is ready." He kissed my cheek and got up. He smiled at me once more and left the room, closing the door behind him.

I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and slipped into a pair of jeans and a red zip-up top. I went downstairs to see that Ash was chatting with my brothers. Sid seemed to be fine. As soon as I entered the room, everybody's eyes snapped at me. I was used to being the center of attraction. "Hey. I guess everyone forgot me." I said casually crossing my arms.

Everyone came at me at once and engulfed me in a hug. They all started talking at once. "Okay okay. Guys I'm one piece. That's what matters."

They all chuckled. "I'm sorry Sam. I..."

"It's ok Sid." I said and we hugged on it. "Come on everyone. Bring it in. You too Ash." We all hugged once more when dad came in. He too joined in the hug.

"So Ash you didn't sneak into her bedroom, right?" Dad asked Ash.

"Dad. What happened to 'if you can handle so many bad guys, you can handle one good guy' or the fact you believe in grown up?"

Ash chuckled. "No I did not. I just woke her up. Also I kissed her." My eyes widened.

"We- we didn't kiss." I stammered.

"Well we did now." He said and kissed me before I could say anything. He pulled away and I blinked a few times. Wow. That just happened.

"What did I say about the 'no kissing' rule? God nobody listens to me." Dad exclaimed, throwing his hands up.

"Don't pretend daddy. You used to kiss mon all the time. Even in front of us."

"Well when you get married, I won't judge you." I laughed and shook my head. A bing sound interrupted our thoughts.

"What was that sound?" Ash voiced looking around. I was confused too. I looked at Sammy who also looked confused like the rest of us.

Then his eyes suddenly widened. Sammy, the computer genius, rushed to the computer room. I frowned. "What happened?"

"I don't know." Sid said, staring after him. He was back within a few seconds, with his laptop in his hand. His face had gone white as a sheet.

I put my arm on his shoulder. "What's the matter?" I asked soothingly.

"There.. there has been a bomb blast in one of our headquarters abroad. Dubai to be specific. Many agents have died."

"What!?" We all exclaimed at the same time. A frenzy of thoughts were going on in my mind.

"Well...um, uh.." He stuttered. Okay he got nervous. He always does when everyone looks at him expectantly. I put my arm around his shoulder to comfort him. "That's not all. There's more."

"Well what is it?" Ash asked crossing his arms.

"Well also there's going to be another attack on Indira Gandhi International Airport, this Friday."

"Wait how do you know all of this?" I asked, getting more confused and suspicious. I didn't like being kept in the dark.

"Well I had placed hidden cameras in every major places of Delhi so that's how I got to know."

"Okay... but what about the other thing? The one where you told there will be an attack on the airport?"

"Well....why don't I just show you?" He said and switched on the tv. The news channel showed Hamla giving a threatening speech. It went as follows:
"Well I just want to say that I'm back in the game. I have already started. Heck this is just the beginning. I'm going to attack Indira Gandhi International airport on Friday. I'm not going to tell you anything else. Come and find me if you have the guts. Bye losers."

Then it went to the reporters' shocking speeches. Sammy turned off the tv and looked at us. I couldn't believe it. Perfect timing. He would be at the airport and we could get him. But I knew this was not going to be easy. My gut was always and it said Not easy.

"Well we need to come up with a plan. Fast. We have only three days at hand." Dad said tapping his wrist where his watch was supposed to be.

The bell rang and everyone's eyes snapped to the door. "I'll get it." I said and opened the the door. There was one body bag with a note stick to it with double-sided tape.

"Um guys I need help." I called and everyone rushed in to help me drag it inside. I closed the door and picked up the note. I read it aloud:

Dear Sam,
I hope you have understood by now that you are in a dangerous position. This is a little gift from me. I hope you like it. It's just a reminder of  how powerful and invincible I am.

Love Hamla.
