CHAPTER 9
Alex recoiled from the impact down on the floor. She groaned inwardly as she rolled to her side, her eyes searching frantically for her sister through the hazy atmosphere. She brought herself up and her heart started to beat faster at the sight of Ashley, down on the floor, her wheelchair a few feet away from her while she whimpers in pain.
“Ashley,” Alex stated as she crawled to where she is and immediately brought her wheelchair back upright and then checking down on her. She touched her on the arm gently and rolled her carefully to lie on her back. “Ashley, can you hear me?”
“Alex,” Ashley said in fear, gripping her arms tightly. She coughed for a while. “What just happened?”
Alex turned to Zachary, who is helping their father up and then proceeding to other customers in the diner while he is shouting orders on his handheld radio. She can now hear sirens blaring around their vicinity as well as other people scre

Alex waited idly by the alley that night after everything in the diner has been cleaned and settled. She already had the summary of the items that needs to be replaced and much to her displeasure and resentment, her father had taken the responsibility of the expenses that insurance will not be able to cover.Unfortunately, her aunt and sister accepted his offer.“You just make sure that your wife does not make a fuss out of this,” she then sneered dryly, crossing her arms over her chest. She ignored the warning look that her aunt threw her way. “If your intent is trying to make amends for those yours of abandonment as a father, I’m telling you now that it’s not going to work on me.”“Alex!” Ashley called out in a warning tone.“We’re getting along fine on our own since dad died,” Alex pointed out. She looked at her sister evenly. “By dad, I meant the man who we grew up with and took c

Zach looked over the printout handed to him the following day, late in the morning. He read through it carefully, his eyes scanning through the page before looking up at Alexandra Walters, who is standing patiently in front of him.“Are you sure that you’re pretty skilled, Walters?” He scoffed tightly. “It took you more than two hours to translate and transcribe a five-minute audio? Did you check how many audios there are to be translated?”“I just can’t simply translate and submit it to you immediately, Mr. Montgomery,” Alex answered calmly. “I have to make sure that the conversation of the audios makes sense. There are more than two people talking and I have to analyze each one carefully and construct the overall conversation.”“It’s f8cking five minutes!” He exclaimed furiously, throwing it on his desk. He looked up at her, who showed no sign of apprehension on his outburst. “

Alex leaned back on her chair after completing another translation of the audio files given to her in the afternoon. She rubbed her neck and gently stretched it to release some tension. She finally sat back and reached for the pad where she wrote all the translation she had made.“I’ll take that, Alex,” Elise Reynolds said with a smile as she took the pad from her and tore off the page. She started scanning her writing and started typing on her laptop. “You get on with the audios since Mr. Montgomery was clear with his instructions to have them on his desk before the day ends.”“He’s a tyrant, isn’t he?” Alex asked.She looked patiently at Elise, who was temporarily transferred by HR from their department to help in constructing the conversation that Alex had translated.“Well, I had just been transferred from IT, so I really cannot say with the way he goes about work,” Elise answered calml

Zach opened his eyes early the following day when he felt Jacinta rolled to her side with her back to him as she continued with her sleep. He watched the rise and fall of her shoulders before turning to his bedside table and checked the time. It read four-thirty in the morning.He ran a hand over his face to get rid of sleep and remain lying on his back. As much as he wanted to sleep longer, he couldn’t get rid of the habit ever since he entered the bureau and became a field agent.“You have dark circles under your eyes, dear,” his mother, Marian Montgomery commented one time during one of their recent family dinners over the weekend in his parents’ house. “Aren’t you supposed to be getting more sleep now that you had been promoted? You’re no longer a field agent.”“It will take a while for Zach to change that habit, mom,” his sister, Eleanor responded calmly as she reached for her glass of wine. &ldquo

Alex stood up when an elderly gentleman went up the bus on the second to the last bus loading station and let him occupy the seat she vacated. She smiled at him warmly when he looked up and thanked her for her kindness.She looked towards the front of the bus when the vehicle started to move, silently glad that she decided to go with her usual and comfortable outfit. Today she had put on her comfortable, dark, slim-fitting pants, which accentuates her already long legs, leather boots and a long-sleeve collared white blouse. Her dark blazer is hanging neatly on her arm while she pulled her small sling bag in front of her to secure her belongings.After thirty minutes of travel, the bus finally put on its brake and Alex waited patiently for those in front of her to go down. She put on her sunglasses when she stepped down on the pavement and then started on her way towards her office building.She heard her phone suddenly rang and she reached in her pocket to answe

Zach was seething quietly on his seat as he looked through his office window right at the back of Alex Walters, who to unknown reasons, pointedly describe him as a boss from hell.“What the hell did you say?!” He demanded furiously, knowing well what she said but he wants her to say it again. He got out from his car and slammed the door angrily and looked back at her, his temper slowly dissipating into thin air. “Boss from where, Walters?”Alex looked at him nonchalantly as she got out from his car and put on her blazer for a while. She looked around the parking floor cautiously before turning to him.“I’m sure you heard me correctly, Mr. FBI,” she answered calmly. “I don’t repeat stuffs that came out of my mouth.”“Do you know that I can hold you for insubordination?!” He threatened.“Yes,” she answered immediately. She smoothened the collar of her blazer and put o

Alex quietly took off her jacket and hang it neatly inside her assigned locker down at the bureau’s indoor gym on a bright Wednesday morning. She placed her ID and wallet inside and finally closed her locker after grabbing her towel and water bottle and proceeded towards the activity area.Two weeks had passed since she entered the bureau as supposed to be a translator to retrieved and relay any information that they have. The arrival of the executive assistant director was something that she had not counted on.“What the f8ck is a CIA operative doing in my building?!” Director Vincent hollered the moment the door of the conference room was closed. He looked at her hardly for a long while. “What assignment did Marshall give to you, Walters? Did he plant you here to retrieved information about the incidents?”“Why don’t you ask him since he’s the one giving the order?” Alex shot back. She looked at the directo

Zach went out from his car the following day after a call was received by his office over two persons of interest inside the city’s busy shopping mall. He looked around the vicinity cautiously and watched innocent mall goers enjoying their time.He waited until Mark, Gavin, Thomas and Alex stood behind him.“Ready for your first encounter, Walters?” Gavin asked with a grin. “It could get ugly.”“No matter what you say, I can still knock out that grin off your face,” Alex replied behind him with a stony expression. “And, it will not be just once if I have to say. You’re more than welcome to try.”Zach hid the smile on his face as he recalled the sparring practice he had witnessed yesterday.After hearing from the director, Vincent Worthington, when he asked how he knew Alex, Zach had kept mum and didn’t inform his agents on what she is capable of. He decided to let them find out for t
