Previously In International Agents

"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.

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

"James?" I whispered as he slowly stood up, resting his head against the tree. He took sharp deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down.

"Its ok James, Just try to calm down." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder and turned him to face me, he looked distraught, his eyes puffy and red, his cheeks tear stained.

"Elizabeth, I am so deeply sorry, I beg for your forgiveness." He was on the verge of tears again, I pulled a tissue from my pocket and handed it to him. He was an absolute mess but I could see the forgiveness in his eyes.

"James, if there is something going on, you have to tell me because I want to be there for you but I can't if you won't tell me what's wrong." I said as he went to sit down on the tree stump. James placed his head in his hands and shook it several times.

"Elizabeth, What if the mission Fails? It's different this year. Unlike other missions this is final straw. If we fail we could all lose our Jobs and MI5 will cease to exist."

"James, what are you talking about?" I was confused by this point. What did he mean by 'Cease to exist'?

"Teresa May has decided to shut down MI5 if we fail this mission as she doesn't see us as important in protecting the British Empire. If we fail she plans to make all Military Intelligence branches into one big sector run by Parliament. I just can't let everyone down." He still had his head in his hands as he tried to look up at me.

I crouched down on the ground just below him and met his Gaze.

"James, We won't fail and we definitely won't allow Parliament to run this joint! James, you are seriously an ace at everything you do. you are also the best leader and Boss MI5 has ever had. Please don't feel upset, we will all pull through."

He smiled and me and ruffled his hair with his hand.

"Am I really an ace though?" He asked, with a raised eyebrow.

"99% of the time" I said with a grin. He gave me a small smile and his face seemed to brighten up a bit.

He slowly got up and we walked out of the trees and back onto the track. I grabbed a huge gun and pointed it at the target.

"I see you like our take on a gun similar to an AK-47. Becky named it the destructor because each bullet can travel up to 300yrds in a second and if 20 people were in a line one after another that single bullet could kill all of them". He said while holding up a silver bullet for me to see.

I fired it and a bullet made a whole in the middle of the target.

"It's good, don't get me wrong but It's heavy, we need something light that can go undetected."

He nodded and handed me a case with my name on it. I raised an eyebrow and opened it. Inside was a small pistol that had an eerie glow emitting from it.

"This is a basic Glock Pistol with some minor adjustments. We have now powered the gun using some Radium fragments which is intensely radioactive but we have managed to contain the radiation for safe use. It is very light with the gun itself weighing only 10 grams, each bullet weighing just a quarter of that." He was trying to convince me but to be honest it wasn't that impressive.

I fired it 6 times, each bullet hitting the bullseye in under a second. Now I was impressed.

"This is brilliant mate, absolutely amazing!" I beamed.

"We catered it especially to your fighting style, we have a different weapon for each of you"

He explained some more details of the array of weapons I could use and I spent about an hour training with the weapons before I finally decided on the ones I wanted. I hugged James and reassured him that everything would work itself out before heading back to the gym. I passed Pepe on the way and he gave me a friendly smile as he headed for his weapons training.

"Ljubavi moja, pobijedio sam!" Yelled Adrijan with delight as he ran towards me and scooped me up in his arms.

"Adrijan what are you doing?" I squealed as he spun me round in his arms. To be honest I didn't know I could make that sound.

"My love, I won the fight against Giovanni" He declared as he placed me down on my feet.

"Well done Adrijan! I knew you could d- Wait. Did you say 'My Love'?" I eyed him suspiciously as he tried to answer.

"ummm I might have said that but ummm." He was looking around trying to look for his way out of this very awkward situation. I just couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Why do you laugh Lizzie?" He asked, looking very puzzled.

"I just do 'My love'" making air quotes as I said it. We both laughed and walked inside the gym. We trained for a bit while everyone else had there training. After Adrijan came back from his weapons training we were told by James to pack our things and head out to the bus.

I ran to my room and took a shower at light speed, skipping the hair wash as it was already clean. I put on some jeans, a jumper and some black boots and raced to pack my suitcase. I finally grabbed my phone only to find a letter with my name on it hidden beneath my phone. I didn't have any time to read it so I tucked it away in my pocket. I grabbed my suitcase and dragged it down the corridors and outside to where the bus was parked.

"I think you forgot to put makeup on" stated Giovanni as he pointed out the obvious. I tried to walk past him an into the bus but he wouldn't move.

"And I think your forgot your manners today. Move your self out of my way." I said clicking my hand in front of his face.

He just smirked and stepped aside with a fake bow. I gave him a death glare and climbed into the bus, dragging my suitcase behind me. I chose a seat at the back of the bus and set my suitcase down. I played on my phone for a bit and waited till everyone else climbed on the bus as well. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Adrijan push past Adrijan as he walked up the Aisle towards me.

"You look different, Nice different." He said as he put his suitcase in the overhead storage.

"I mean I'm not wearing makeup if that's what you mean?". I don't usually wear makeup but since we 'reunited' I've been wearing it a lot more.

"Yeah, you look so pretty Lizzie!" He said with a smile as he sat down next to me.

"Oooh look at you, full of compliments today aren't ya" I said as I snuggled into his chest.

"What's that envelope?" he said pointing to the letter that was creeping out of my pocket.

"I have no idea, I just found it in my room". I said as I pulled it out of my pocket after almost forgetting I even had it. I began to read it.

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

Elizabeth Hartland,

You're only days away from fighting the cartel and you think you will defeat them.

But you won't, you will betray everyone just like I did and will do again.

Oh and your 'abilities' won't help you much, oh but I forgot! The other agents don't know of your little secret do they?

Don't forget,

Never underestimate us As That will be your downfall. The stories And Lies you tell will not protect you forever. I am looking forward to meeting you my dear Enemy. Also, Be careful who you keep company with. One of them might just Stab you in the back.

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

"What kind of person would send you that?" shouted Adrijan in frustration, he was loud enough to capture the attention of everyone on the bus. James came walking towards us and commanded that the others look away.

"Let me see." He said as he held out his hand. He skimmed through it and handed it back to me.

"There is something odd about this, it's almost more of a warning than a threat" He said with a confused expression.

"And some of the letters are capitalised and in bold, very odd?" Said Adrijan, scratching his head.

"What if it's a clue!" I cried as I grabbed a pen from my bag. I began sounding out the bold letters and spelling them out.

"N-A-T-A-L-I-E".

"What does that spell?" asked James and Adrijan in unison.

I looked at James straight in his eye.

"Natalie".
