The car ride felt like it was going on for hours, the tracker hadn’t moved since we had been following him but with every street we would turn down, it would feel like more would be added on. Jackson was going the ways I was telling him and was shocked we were in the part of town we were, according to Jackson, this is where most of the police officers and higher ups live. Mario was hiding right under their noses, and they had no idea. But let’s be honest, Mario is very good at what he does, he knew they wouldn’t be looking for him in their part of town, so that’s exactly where he hid. “It seems like the tracker is right on this next street.” I say looking down at my phone, the feeling of finally, being able to find my father at the forefront of my mind. Jackson turns the corner, where a huge office building which towered over all the other buildings stood. I take a look down at my phone and see the tracker seems to be within the building, Mario really wasn’t trying to hide in that p
An hour later, Jackson and I were walking into the base hand in hand. Now my mother has been taken by Mario, and Reece is in the hospital getting treated for being ambushed, Jackson was the boss. We needed a plan to one find where Mario has taken my mother but two, think of a way to bring Mario in without having what happened the last time. I’m led into a room which I had never seen before, it had people at desks filling the entire room. Who all turned to look at us as we walked in, paying extra attention to mine and Jackson’s interlocked fingers. I know it seems highly unprofessional that we’re doing this but let’s be honest, we all knew it was going to happen at some point! Right in the middle of the desks was a circle desk, one big computer in the middle with a bunch of people having panicked conversations with each other. In the centre of those panicked people stood Alison, who also looked worried. But once she turned to look at us, I see relief wash over her senses. “You’re fi
Not even an hour later, Jackson and I were waiting behind the van with the team. The house was only a two-minute walk from here, but we needed to come up with an action plan, everyone having the mutual understanding of how unpredictable Mario can be on the best of days. But when we show up, he will soon realise, there is no way out now and he’ll need to pay for everything he has done to so many people. We don’t even want to know what he’ll do once he realises it’s all over for him, the most unpredictable man will get that much more unpredictable. Jackson was going over with the team of how we will enter the house, the unruly garden will be a perfect cover while they access the situation and make sure my mother and Mario are really there. No one was even talking about how many ways this could go wrong, all of our minds were focused on the job of getting my mother back safely and bringing Mario in. I think if I had allowed myself the moments to think all of this over in detail, I woul
~9 months later~ “Noel, table 5 said their dinner was delicious.” I smile looking through to the kitchen with a smile, Noel looks up from the cooker with a smile on his face. “I’ll only produce the best boss.” He shouts before getting back to work, I smile at his comment before turning around to look at my busy restaurant. I better fill you in before you get too confused, yes, I own my own restaurant now. After everything with Mario and the base, I knew it was time I had to head back to my old life and start working in the same boring restaurant I had for years. Let’s just say, I wasn’t too thrilled about it all. My mother saw my reaction and asked why don’t I train up and become an agent, I had proven myself over the months working with Jackson and was the key role in catching Mario. The offer of course, sounded tempting but I knew it wasn’t what I was meant to do. Yes, I had the best experience getting to watch what happens and learn on the job what it offers, but I don’t think
I untie my apron hanging it up on the hook as a huge fight breaks out in the central part of the restaurant; the sounds of glass shattering and screaming fill the air. I turn to walk in but stop before I reach the door, mentally debating whether I want to walk into whatever situation is happening. I should go through and help, but I've just clocked out, which means this, technically, wasn't my problem at this poi. I decided I didn't need that drama in my life, so with a shrug, I headed to my locker, pulling my bag out. The door soon opens and in runs my friend Peter; he slams the door closed, placing his back against it as though it was going to burst open again."Everything okay out there?" I ask, laughing a little; he looks up at me, holding his hand to his chest; he even sounds out of breath!"Let's just say a woman wasn't happy with what the man had to say." He manages to say whilst taking his apron off and hanging it next to mine; well, that didn't give me much to go on. "I mean
I wake up shocked to be laying in a hospital bed, there was an annoying beeping sound coming from somewhere in this place. I sit up slightly to see I was connected to a machine, actually multiple different ones. I look around the room to also discover that I was alone, I put my hand to my head trying my best to remember what happened. I had a vague idea, I know something happened with my dad, headlights were involved and my mum. I'm pretty sure I saw mum, she must have taken me here, but where the heck is she now?! It's great to wake up alone in a hospital room with no idea what happened, I hope you all can hear the sarcasm in that sentence!The door opens and in walks a guy in a suit, he didn't look much older than me. His outfit was neatly put together, while his hair was running wild. He held a coffee in one hand, while the other held a phone. He looks up from it for a second, where his face holds surprise to see me awake."Ally, how are you feeling?" He asks walking over to stand
First, I wanted to laugh at how ridiculous she sounded, but when her serious face didn't change my laugher soon faded. "You're a spy, a spy for what and who?" I ask crossing my arms, she has to give me more than that if I was going to even remotely believe her. She says she can't fully tell me but she for works for high up people, I shake my head looking away trying to process all this information. "So, all this time you've really been here, away from your family to work for some higher up people, with the events that have happened these last few days, I can take a guess that dad going missing is because of your line of work." I say looking at her growing angrier with each second that past, she just nods her head looking to the floor avoiding eye contact with me. "I can now answer the questions you asked me first; you are at the base for the operation I run that hunts down some of the world's most profound criminals and brings them to justice, you're here because this is the safes
It was early the next morning, Jackson made me dinner last night but after I ate it, I just went to bed. I didn't want to face my mum after what she told me, I know it's not great to blame her for what's happened, but if she didn't do the work she does, dad would still be here. Or maybe if she was honest with him, he would have been prepared for something like this to happen.I walk out my new bedroom heading towards the stairs, as I continue down, I see someone in the kitchen. I slowly hover on the stairs to see my mum sat at the counter; she was drinking what looked like coffee reading what looked like a file. Once I reach the bottom she looks up, closing the file smiling at me. I don't send her one back but instead look to the floor. "Good morning, I've made you some pancakes and there's orange juice in the fridge." She smiles taking another sip of her coffee, I still don't talk or move from my spot by the door. "I get it, you're mad at me for not being honest with you, but I had
