Chapter 21 - Dismissal
Previously in International Agents:
"I look like a Model, Becky, you are a genius!"
"Model? Bit of a stretch. Genius on the other hand is an understatement for how amazing my creative powers are."
He just shook his head and started to laugh.
"My suit is stained though; so is my shirt a bit, it's too noticeable".
I walked to my wardrobe and pulled out a jacket, similar to the one he had on and a crisp white shirt. I handed them to him and he raised an eyebrow.
"Don't ask".
He shrugged, I help him undo his shirt and put on the fresh one and put on his jacket. He looked brand new. I wiped away an imaginary tear.
"My work here is done" I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hvala ti, Thank you Becky!" he cried, pulling me into a friendly hug.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." he nodded a thankful smile and headed out of the door.
I turned to face a colossal mess of blood, bandages and makeup all over the bathroom and that huge stain on my bed.
I should of asked him to help me clean up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You ready for training this morning?" He asked as he handed me a cup of tea.
I yawned and stretched my arms above my head, trying not to spill my drink.
"You know what Adrijan, I know it is our last day here but it's been almost two months since the incident with Drake Marshall. I just want to get this mission completed so we can go home."
He sighed. "Elizabeth, we are fighting against the Colombian Cartel, we have to be prepared because we don't know what they will do."
As I started to drink my tea I realised he had a point. We knew little about the Cartel, they were a whole lot worse than the Mafia, linked in some way but similar.
"Everyone over here please!" yelled James as he tried to get our attention. We wondered over and I perched myself of the edge of a chair.
"Today is your last day of training, you will undergo some intense physical training which you will all do individually. You will then have Individual weapons training with me out on the track. We will be leaving tonight so make sure you are well prepared. If you don't adhere to these instructions you will be dismissed". He was acting very seriously this morning. He let us go and I started to walk to the Gym.
"You don't think he's being serious do you?" asked a very worried Pepe.
"You know what, yes. He has dismissed a team before." I tried not to worry him even more.
"When did he do that?" chimed in Pierre.
I took in a deep breath and started to walk a bit faster, making sure we were far enough away that James couldn't here us talk.
"You can't tell anyone I told you. ok?" They nodded and I began the story.
"I'd say about three years ago now, when I was still training, there was a mission to Poland. They were supposed to break into a vault which was owned by one of the most dangerous criminals in the world, except the mission went horrible wrong."
We were walking out onto the track now and the sun stung my eyes as I shielded my gaze from it. I took a deep breath and continued.
"There was also an agent, she was the best at what she did, Her name was Natalie. She was also Married to James' brother, Mathew, who was also an agent on the mission. She betrayed everyone. A lot of good agents lost their lives that day, including Matthew, They say Natalie shot him and she stood over him as he died."
"Mon dieu" said a shocked Pierre.
"El Pobrecito, what did James do?" asked Pepe.
"I had never seen James so angry and upset. He went ballistic and dismissed Natalie. She was charged but the supreme court and was given a life sentence. She was sent to New Hall prison in Wakefield but she escaped on the journey and hasn't been seen since."
We talked for a bit and then I headed to the changing rooms. I put on some black leggings, a sports bra and a pink hoodie. I put on some black trainers and headed out to the track. I put my headphones in and put on 'Closer' by Lemaitre.
As I ran around the track I started to think about James and how he must have been coping these past 3 years. I ran around for a while then headed inside the gym.
I lifted some weights and did bench presses and other various exercises when I spotted Adrijan in the corner of the room preparing for his sparring match.
"Hey Lizzie, have you come to match me kick some ass?" he asked as he started bandaging his hands.
"Yeah, who are you fighting?"
His expression changed to one of disgust and he pointed to punching bags. Their was Giovanni. He caught me staring and gave me a smirk as I tried to turn away. In fact he looked awful, like he had been pulled through a hedge backwards. He was covered in cuts and bruises, I could see a bandage sticking out of his tank top. I glared at him and turned back to Adrijan.
"Punch him real hard for me will you?". Adrijan laughed and we shared a brief hug. I kissed his cheek and went to sit down on a bean bag.
I heard a ping and looked down at my phone, there was a message from James.
James: Come to the track for weapons training.
I said goodbye to Adrijan and headed out onto the track where i could see James in the distance surrounded by a few weapons.
"Hi James!" I yelled waving him a hello.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a secluded area.
"James, what's wro-". He cut me off as he dragged me deeper into seclusion.
"You had no right Elizabeth! No Bloody Right!" He was furious. I could feel the heat radiating from his bones as he pushed me down onto a tree stump and paced up and down in front of me.
"What did I do?" I asked timidly, I had only seen him like this once.
"You shared Private Information, My private Information! How Bloody Dare you!". He was getting closer to me, I started to feel scared, very scared.
"James I'm so sorry, I didn't think you would find out." I could feel tears spring to my eyes as I tried to hold them back.
"It doesn't give you any right to share my information does it? You didn't think did you? You didn't think I would find out? Well I did so surprise!" He was spitting the words at me and I started to crawl to the back of the stump, trying to get away from his anger.
"James please stop it, you're scaring me." I was full blown crying now, the tears streaming down my face and clouding my vision.
"You should be Scared, How could I trust someone like you?" He raised his hand to my face and I scrunched up my eyes waiting for the sting that would follow after Impact.
Smack. A deafening crack filled the air, shaking the birds out of the trees.
I slowly opened my eyes to see James a shaking mess at the bottom of a tree, a hole above his head where he had punched it, his body shaking uncontrollably on the ground.
I sat in silence for a moment, catching my breath. The air filled with his sobs and cries.
