After

Chapter 6:Hearts

My first mission was on a Saturday. I kissed my parents goodbye, and told them that I was off to the warehouse. Of course I was wearing my Loir suit under my clothes as I drove down to Devon's house. The distance was so short that I could've run, but the warehouse is supposed to be pretty far out, so why would I run there? Exactly. I had to keep up the façade, and me driving made it more believable.

I pulled into Devon's driveway, parking my car in his huge garage. I stepped out and was instantly grabbed by a thick arm. Judging from its size and placement and the voice in my ear, I knew it was Devon. He pulled me close to him, burying his face in my neck, and was literally breathing down my shirt, which felt nice. I shivered and he gently placed a kiss on my neck. He kissed a trail up my neck and finally came to my mouth. Then he brought his lips down to mine...and kissed my cheek. He pulled away, laughing at my surprise. By now, we'd been dating for about 5 months now, and it was a beautiful day in April. Devon's knife wound was fully healed, and he was finally allowed to do normal things, which also meant I could hurt him. I grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling him towards me before firmly planting my lips on his. He wrapped his arms around me as my arms wound around his neck, my hands twisting in his hair. He pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. The door to the garage opened and Mason walked through. I pulled back slightly, resting my forehead on Devon's. "Are you two done yet?" I heard Mason whine. I looked over to see him covering his eyes. I pulled away from Devon and smacked him on the head. "Ow!" He yelped. Devon chuckled as he came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"What did you come here for Mason?" Devon looked at him.

"Oh, right." Mason fixed his hair. "My sister wants you both so that we can get started. We're tracking Kent today. We believe he has some information that we could use, and if not, well, he's dangerous too."

"So you'll kill him?" Why did he have to beat around the bush when I'm around?

"Um, yes." Mason looked uncomfortable. I just nodded and motioned for him to take us to Macy.

Macy waited for us in the training room, where all the guys were. The moment I walked in, I heard something whistle, and immediately ducked and lunged toward the sound, pulling out a knife from under my waist band. I wound my arm back, preparing to throw it when Macy's voice rang out, "Stop!" I looked behind me to see a knife sitting on the ground, and in front of me stood a cowering Jordan. He smiled nervously at me as I tucked my knife away.

I held my hand out to him. He extended his and I grabbed it, squeezing his hand hard before turning back to Devon, who stood beside me, "That was amazing." I smiled up at him.

"Let's get down to business, shall we?" We turned to see Macy beckoning us over. We hurried over and joined them at the table. There were papers all layed out and a high definition speaker. Macy pressed play and a gravelly male voice came through. "This is the voice of our guy." We listened as I looked through the papers. Various descriptions were out. I read through them all, learning everything about this guy. He's tall, thin, blond with green eyes, and is right handed. He's had leg injuries in his left leg and his right shoulder is a little messed up. Also, he's slightly blind in his left eye. This is good to know for a fight. An alarm went off and we rushed out to a car waiting for us. I hopped in beside Devon, stripping down to my Loir suit. And we were off.

We arrived in an alley to see a man standing there. I watched the way he stood, leaning heavily on his right leg. He stood stiff, his right eye more visible. He didn't see me as I blended into my background as everyone got out. I stuck to the shadows as Devon strode towards him. The man stood over a body. The body was female, and her chest was moving, but there was blood all over her. The man, who I was assuming was Kent, turned to Devon and I made my way to the body. I checked her breathing and pulse. Her eyes fluttered open and she almost screamed. I bent close to her ear as I covered her mouth, "I'm Agent Loir. I'm here to help." She relaxed a little as Devon and the guys approached Kent.
