"Are you scared?"Will asked while rubbing his hands.

"What do you think?" I looked at him pulling my jacket over my neck. It's freezing cold out here and wherever my eyes run, all it sees is white blanket of snow.

He looked up ahead, then at me and again up."Isn't it ,too high" He said. I followed his gaze and saw railway bridge as we are going to shoot an action scene on the train roof. Sounds Thrilling isn't it? And it appears even more cooler on-screen but it's not that cool in reality. Everyone around us are busy doing things like arranging cameras for perfect angles to capture the shot,while others are with equipment like jump-ropes, harnesses, carabiners, ascenders, hooks and things like that. Our Director and Producer, Mr.Johnson, short, round and very energetic person, is engaged in some serious talk. All the crew members are getting dressed in full Black jeans and Hoodies, I'm quite fast in getting dressed but if there's a scene of extravagant parties, dinners or dance, then I will be costumed for so long that it diminishes my frame of mind to be happy on being gorgeously primped.

Finally after all the set up our gang is on the top of this train. I wore my black gloves pulled my jacket and positioned myself, Joshua our trainer was rehearsing with us and showing us those minute details about body postures while performing stunts.I'm excited to fight. Joshua received a message to wrap up and the sound of clapper board being slammed was heard.

Time for some Action.

With the blink of an eye Lisa, a tall fragile figure but really good in the field of martial arts, threw her arm at me and I ducked at the right time before it could bring any injury to my nose. I jumped, rolled on the floor, punched, kicked just like our stunt instructor taught me to do. The scene went fantastic but I was nervous about something else.

Lisa fell flat lifeless, I pressed on my ear piece.

"Position 1, All clear. 2 and 3 update your status, Over and out." mist danced in air as soon as I opened my mouth. There was a beeping sound, I lift my hand and pressed it once more.

"Position 3 Clear. Over and Out."

"Position 2 update your status. Over and out." I said through my clattering teeth. I waited for few minutes, no response. I was now worried about my teammate's life.

"Position 2 Target isn't dispatched....ah!" I heard a panting sound, I turned to my left and saw two fully covered men were fighting, one seemed highly built heavyweight than the other, I walked to them in confidence, I loved the sound of my boots as I walk. The heavier one kicked in the stomach of the other, but he charged in no time pushing him away. My pace increased my partner was heavier but this man looks much more muscular than him so I think our target is the taller one, I went for a spinning side kick. He groaned in pain but something about him told me he isn't in pain, my move wasn't powerful enough to throw him off-guard. I stood there watching him retreat to his normal height, but before I could see his face I was swirled around and smashingly came a tight fist whose knuckles almost turned white. If I were under-trained or just a random girl, this punch could have spoiled my face but since I'm a fully trained agent who's taught to be alert all the time and my reflexes work fine to protect myself from these kind of attacks. As soon as his fist came winding towards my face I grabbed it, my hands went cold my grip was still firm but I realized, I looked into the eyes of the man standing beside me his face was masked and neither of these two were my partner, then I looked they were three hands, first the opponent's fist, then this man's hand and mine was on the top of his hand. I guess I have turned full dramatic because even though we are shooting and there's no slow-mo or background music but I could feel all of it.

The bulky man threw his another fist at me which was again sandwiched with our hands. My hand again lay on his hand. I was standing in the middle staring at this person who's not my partner but is protecting me. Why?

Before I could formulate he twisted the bulky man's hands and crossed them. They went into another fit of fighting moves, while I pressed harder into my ear piece to receive any news.

".... Copy!" a familiar voice broke into my ear.Suddenly everything seemed silent I turned and heavier man jumped and kicked on the knees which made taller one to descend to the ground then he kicked on his shoulder blade which made him fall backward.

"Oh no..." My voice barely came out of my mouth, before I could reach them. He fell backward but pulled the jacket of the heavier one before falling from the train roof. I was then stoned to my position for few seconds, then ran towards them.

I tried looking down at that side, then on seeing the tunnel shaped dome was near I lay flat till it passed over me in the meanwhile I heard a loud thud, whoever clung there must have fallen down. Later I opened my eyes and stood, didn't bother to look down. It was better to walk away.

"How can you leave Mrs Argus when your husband was hanging there, clinging for his mere life?" He said with that smoky voice. I turned around and found him standing. I rushed toward him and stopped in front of him before I make a wrong move.

"Marry me."He said, I stood there in disbelief.

"We are not allowed to give priority to our personal lives." I said while tears started welding up in my eyes.

"Just say, Yes!." He insisted. He definitely lost his mind. "We can make it happen." He moved further.

I shook my head.

"No! Then why do you anticipate meeting me." His eyes looked passionate, they were screaming that he means it when he said that 'we can make it happen'.

"But I fear..." I couldn't pull myself to complete my sentence.

"Setting free a balloon in the air is a symbol to show that you are free, even though that balloon will burst after sometime, people never stop releasing them in air, they love watching it, floating in air irrespective of it being short lived. Our happiness, sadness and choices are like that we should release them and not keep them close to yourself in fear of losing all of it, eventually everything slips away from us, no matter how strongly you hold on to them." He stared into my eyes "Save yourself from regret, you want this too. Even if this happiness lasts the duration of a balloon floating in air, we will be glad that we chose this."

"Huh! Today's shoot was..extremely tiring, I can still feel the train moving under my feet." I complained to myself while removing all the harnesses, triple jackets and dozens of strings running from here and there which were for my safely.

After being freed from it I walked to Cindy, but Will stopped me.

"Hey, that was fun right?"

I nodded and posed a weak smile, continued walking past him but he stood in front of me.

"Do you know who were nervous to shoot that scene." I gave him an unusual look, the cold and high winds must have frozen his nerves to think properly.

"Everyone"

"No, let me re-phrase my question. Who was more nervous Lacey the agent or...Wynter Loxley?" My eyes widened on his mention of my name. I looked at him in disbelief ofcourse I was nervous the whole scene but not because of the height or other factors relating to me, what I dreaded was the part where during the fight, they are hanging. I agree precautions were taken but still.

He chuckled realizing that he made his point he knew during the whole scene that I was worried about the real him and not Mr. Argus his character. He then walked away without waiting for my reply without even turning back.

I hate him when he tries to figure out complicated things and create even more complications.

Ahaaa!, I think William is taking those two quotes way to seriously. What is your take on William Connor and William Harrison. Does his fictional character really portrays his real identity and personality?
