Amiss (Completed)

IX

He clearly remember the day where he had to convince her to take this photo of her smiling on a bridge where a river can be seen. Her smile, her eyes and her lips— he missed them all but now he realized that it will never come back.

A year before he got to prison, he met her on a cafe where she served her coffee and donut. It was nice, she did even smiled at him even when his tattoo was dragging him down. What he did not know, she was in need of money those times and she pity him for being mistreated but she never felt love. Only Diego did.

He wiped his tears for the second time and grabbed the lighter on a pocket on his shirt. He light it up and put the fire on the corner of their photo, hoping that he would forget her, just like how easy this paper would transform into ash.

When her face started burning and the fire reached corner where his fingers were staying, he let it fall on the toilet bowl and flushed it two times. He wiped his tear for one last time and exited the comfort room.

He walked back to the group of guards standing in a room, facing the white screen where a digital map of a town was displayed. Becca sat on one of the sofas, drinking a smoking black liquid on her mug.

"You okay man?" One of the guards asked him after noticing his gloomy attitude and his red nose.

He smiled at him and rolled his sleeves to his elbow. She looked at him, "Did your shit burned?"

Almost all of the guards turned their back to each other trying to hold off their laugh, one of them can't help it but smile, "Ha ha funny." he shot back, she smirked.

"Okay, that is enough." a man standing beside the white screen coughed and straightened his face, "We are only ten minutes away from Berlin, this plane would land on a wide field which is... fifteen minutes away from the address where Alexis is staying so, I want you guys to stay focus."

Becca crossed her legs and drank the bitter coffee on her hand. If she would be honest, her head hurts like hell, her brain was pounding like it was overused for a month, but she's still willing to continue this mission of hers.

"There are civilians around the area. Our scouts have already checked it yesterday and," she grabbed the pointer from a small coffee table in front of her and pointed on an area where tents can be seen, "This flea-market right here, all of the vendors and store owners are part of a cartel that Alexis have established. So whatever you do, don't draw any attention."

She stood up, trying to balance herself on a stiletto she decided to use and walked across the room. "David, your team will handle side Beta. Faith, yours is on side Charlie. I will be handling the Alpha tower, claro?"

All of them nodded, but Diego.

"Which team am I under?" he asked.

"You will be my eye and ears on the hindsight, Diego. You'll stay here." she smiled downing the coffee on her mouth, "Dismissed."
