Previously in International agents:

"Say James, You don't happen to know where Becky is do you?" I said batting my eyelids.

He tensed up and started walking faster.

"In my room" he stated through gritted teeth. I let out a small giggle and he eyed me suspiciously.

We finally reached my room.

"Oh and James, What is that red thing on your neck?"

He blushed so much that he looked like a blobby Tomato.

"Well goodnight Liz. Breakfast is at 7.00 sharp. ok bye." and with that he was gone.

I laughed to myself, well I hope he has fun.

I walked into my room and searched for the sweater I had been wearing. Once I found it I pulled out my phone and placed it on my bed. I walked to the sink and washed off the knife putting it back into my boots and putting them back in my suitcase.

I hopped into bed and turned on my phone and went onto google.

This was going to be a long night.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Beep, Beep, Beep.

The alarm awoke me from my state of dreaming and I let out a huge snort. I rolled over and switched off the bedside alarm and saw that it was 6 am. It's just to god damn early for this.

I stretched and slowly traipsed over to my suitcase pulling out a few clothes and walked to the bathroom. I lazily turned on the shower and grabbed a towel. It was surprisingly nice to just have a shower without any distractions.

I turned off the shower and stepped out onto the fluffy bath mat. I dried off and wrapped my hair up in a towel, making sure to tuck in each and every strand. I put on a pair of black jeans, white shirt and a jumper. Thank god this bathroom had a built in hairdryer. Thinking about it that is probably the most dangerous thing you could possibly do. I tied my hair and put it up into a high ponytail.

I headed towards my bed and grabbed my phone. I couldn't find Anything On Giordano Cattaneo. It was almost like he didn't exist. There were people with the same name as him, that's for sure but nothing about 'Him'.

I grabbed the combat boots I was wearing last night and I put them on, making sure my knife was tucked safely inside. I placed my phone in my jean pocket and headed down the hallway.

The smell of panettone filled my nostrils as I followed the scent down the hallway and into a small cafeteria.

"Morning everyone" I called as I made my way to a table where James ,Becky ,Pierre and Pepe were sat.

"Bonjour Mon Amie, I trust you slept well?" Asked Pierre as he stuffed his face with a croissant.

"Yeah, it was alright I suppose."

"Help yourself to breakfast, there is a buffet over there." Said Pepe, as he pointed to the corner of the room with his knife.

I smiled and headed to the buffet.

There was a table covered in a wide range of foods from our selected countries and an assortment of hot drinks and juices. These people really know how to make people feel welcome.

Grabbing a plate, I filled it with a selection of breads, a few rashers of bacon and fruits.

"Good morning Lizzie" I heard Adrijan say as he walked over to me.

"Morning' Adrijan. Look at all this amazing food!" I exclaimed in delight as I filled a glass with apple juice.

"Are you seriously going to eat all that?" He said pointing to my plate

"Yes. And it's none of your business about what I eat" I said, through gritted teeth.

He placed his hand under my chin and turned my head towards him.

"Hey, I'm only joking Draga" He laughed, I hit his arm playfully and went back to the table.

"You and Adrijan are getting pretty close, Anything you want to share?" Asked James, This was payback for last night.

"Ha ha. No we are just good friends" I declared. I tucked into my breakfast and drank a long sip of juice.

"Has anybody seen Giovanni lately?" Questioned Pierre. You know he was right. I hadn't see Giovanni at all since we got here.

"Giordano, Giovanni. Come and sit down" Said James as he motioned for them to sit.

"Buongiorno Everyone, Elizabeth." It was strange how Giordano had specifically greeted me, it was strange, a bit creepy. Maybe I am overthinking things but you can never be to sure.

"Where have you been?" I asked Giovanni. "I haven't seen you since we arrived here".

"Bella, I was Just catching up with my Uncle." He said calmly, sitting down next to me.

I chocked on my drink and starting spluttering.

"He's...Your...Uncle?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He was related to this Man?

"Yes. On my mothers side." He stated.

"Anyway, I want to welcome you all to the Gruppo di Intervento Speciale Training centre, Here in Selvetta. Today we will be going for a 10 mile run while each of you carry 50kg of bricks on your back. We will give you 15 minutes to change into the uniforms provided and then we will embark."

I finished up my breakfast and changed in the changing rooms near the running ground. The uniform was pretty standard. Khaki combat boots and a basic army camouflage uniform, nothing fancy. I tied my hair up into a tight bun and went to the running ground.

"Now Then, Here are your bags. We will have 1 break at the 5 mile point. You will be given water at the break site.  Now we must leave." And with that Giordano ran around the corner.

"Becky and I will remain here and plan our next move" said James. He grabbed Becky by the hand and they left.

We all put on our packs and headed out. We must have been running for hours before we finally caught up with Giordano. He was sitting by a table handing out water bottles to us as we arrived.

"If I was the enemy I would be long gone by now, you are all to slow. Your break has now been cut down to 2 and a half minutes."

We all took off our packs, The rest off the lads were panting heavily but I felt fine.

Giordano handed the others water bottles and stared at me.

"You are not tired?" he sneered

"No, To be honest I feel fine Commandante".

"Well, you certainly don't need this" and with that he drank my bottle of water in one Gulp.

I walked back to the others Furious. How bloody rude. I didn't want to cause a seen but that was just rude.

"What is wrong?" Asked Adrijan as he saw me come over empty Handed.

"Giordano just drank my whole bottle of water in front of my face." I felt myself getting angrier by the second.

"Here have mine" He said as he drank a small sip from the bottle.

Before he could hand it to me, Giovanni grabbed his arm.

"Don't, You will anger my Uncle." he said, in a low voice, making sure his uncle couldn't hear him.

Adrijan pulled his arm away and handed me the bottle. I gave him a smile and glared at Giovanni.

What is his problem, why would he defend someone like that? I just couldn't put my finger on it. Why was he acting like this? I really thought he was a gentlemen.

Our break ended abruptly and we finally completed 10 miles. We got a car back and relaxed in the dinner hall.

"Safe some Chicken for the rest of us Pierre!" I cried, He had cut off the biggest piece and was still going.

"I'm sorry, but that 10 mile run has drained my energy, it's like I haven't eaten for a week".

"Pierre, let me carve for everyone else and then you can have the extra." Suggested Pepe, He nodded and gave the fork and carving knife to Pepe.

Pepe piled the rest of our plates high with meat and saved a little for himself. He then gave the chicken Back to Pierre who had already cleaned his plate.

I played around with my food for a while and ate slowly, thinking about what happened earlier on the run.

"Are you ok?" Asked Becky who had Joined us for dinner, Like usual Giovanni was absent, Speaking with James and Giordano.

"Uh, yeah, Just stuff about the run."

"What happened?" She inquired, Coming around to sit next to me.

"Nothing."

"You can tell me." She said, rubbing a calming hand on my back.

"It's Giordano, he refused to allow Elizabeth to have a drink." Said Adrijan, smashing his fist on the table.

"Seriously?" The others Said in unison.

"And then Giovanni had the Gaul to tell me not to give my bottle to her." He shouted.

"I thought you and him were together?" Asked Pierre, Pepe nodded and leaned closer to hear the details.

I placed my hand on my forehead and sighed. "No, he took me to dinner when we first met, we kissed, But we haven't really spoken since then."

"He is a Puta Hombre, Just forget about him." I had no idea what Pepe said but it didn't sound good.

We spoke for a while and headed off to bed. Adrijan accompanied me and he walked me to my room.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes Adrijan I'm fine, Are you ok?"

"Just angry, how could they treat you like that?"

"We are only here until Wednesday, I don't want to cause a scene."

"Look Elizabeth, I just don't want to see you mistreated, I really care about you, you have to know that" He said.

We had now arrived at my room. We shared a brief hug and I kissed his cheek.

"Thanks for caring" I said with a smile and I waltz into my room. I shut the door and had a sudden realisation.

Did I just Kiss Adrijan?
