CHAPTER 14
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Alex 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

Alex took her gaze off the scope of the rifle she is holding after taking the shot that hit straightly towards the felon’s head. She then stood up and handed the rifle to Damon, who stood guard as she took her shot through the clerestory window at the empty utility deck of the building.“I have to go down and go there,” she sated calmly. She dusted off the dirt that stuck to her clothes and picked up the empty cartridge of the bullet she shot, handing it immediately to him. “Montgomery’s going to have my hide because I shouted through the radio that back-up’s coming.”Damon automatically dismantled the firearm and placed it back on its case and hoisted it over his shoulders.“I’ll report back to the director,” he answered as he put on his cap and then sent a message through his phone. “Just update in the event the other person will talk once he will be taken into custody. I’ll call you in th

Zach leaned back on his chair in his apartment’s office that weekend night as he played repeatedly the footage inside the amusement café that occurred two days ago. He adjusted the settings of the video to make it go slow so he can see the trajectory of the bullet the moment it broke through the glass.He remembered when he returned the next day to continue assessing the area. He stood by the glass storefront where the bullet broke through and looked towards the open area. He took his binoculars and scanned through for the possible position of where the shot came from.He had concluded that only one person could be able to do that after he got the report from the ballistics expert on the bullet that went through the dead suspect’s head.A sniper.A damn good one.And, he has no idea who that person is.Zach picked up the document that Alex had submitted to him and read through it. He had to give credit to her as he read th

Alex opened her eyes when her alarm clock sounded on an early Sunday morning. She turned off her alarm clock and remained lying on her bed. Instead of getting up to go for a longer run, which she always does on weekends, she had no desire to do that. Thoughts of her interrogation with Zahid Kazmi has been bothering her ever since she had finished typing the report and submitting it to Montgomery. She kept on playing in her mind the interaction she had and relayed it to Damon when he met her at the park, late Friday night. “There’s something not connected with what we are trying to investigate, Damon,” she commented softly. She placed down the recorder after playing it the fourth time. “The Triad Sentinel is a European organization. Scarlett Syndicate is not.” Damon looked down at her. “They network, Alex,” he chided gently. “Aren’t you supposed to know that? Saood will look for a way to come here undetected. He did that to you, remember? It nearly cos

Zach’s eyes narrowed when he saw Alex being approached by one guest and started a conversation with her that night at Congressman Jamison’s office building’s function room. He watched as the man shook her hand a little longer than it’s usual and how Alex was able to pull her hand away.He couldn’t help but blamed her for the attention she is getting.As much as she had tried to remain uninteresting to blend in with the crowd, her height and built had made her stand out from the women attending the private affair the congressman had thrown. Her bright, emerald eyes also made the male-dominated guests looked at her longer, on the verge of becoming ill-mannered.“Why do I have to be there?” Alex asked earlier after Zach had finished his breakfast at the diner.Zach, on Sundays, will usually spend his day in his apartment with Jacinta or would go out for a drive and eat outside. Things changed when he received a call

Alex, after entertaining and talking with the visitors of Congressman Jamison was finally able to escape the crowd and hurriedly went to the bathroom. She made sure that all stalls are unoccupied, even if most of the guests were male just as a precaution, and went to the last one, securely locking it.She took her phone out from her purse when she felt it vibrating and saw Damon calling her.“Are you alone?” Damon then asked when she answered.“Yes,” she answered calmly. “I’m here at the last stall.”“Alright,” he then said. “The glock’s beneath the tank as well as well as two extra magazines.”“Where are you?” She asked after she took the firearm, raising the pants on her right leg and placed it securely on the band she had around below her knee. “Are you on your own?”“I’m at the building right across the park of the congressman&rsqu

Alex finally opened her eyes and stared at herself in the mirror, standing up.After taking off from the scene where she was ambushed by Saood’s men, she went to one place, which she only knows. A small house outside the city that she bought with cash from the money she had saved over her years of service.She turned on the tap and reached for the towel, hanging on the wall and let it soak with water. Carefully, she started to take off her clothes, breathing heavily at the pain she is feeling in her body. She finally resorted to cutting the fabric with the scissors she found in the drawer. She glanced when her phone on the counter rang and saw Damon calling.She ignored it.“Alex, promise me one thing if it ever gets to a drastic situation,” Julia told her one time when they were having a break. “If ever my life will be ended, do it with your bullet. I don’t want theirs. I’d rather die from yours.”“That’s not going to happen, Jul,” Alex argued lightly. “We’re not going to die early.

Zach finally took off his helmet when the last man on his team finally appeared at their meeting place, three hours from the time they started scouting Gallagher Enterprise’s building. He nodded when Gavin informed Buchanan over the radio that his team are all accounted for.“Let’s head back to base,” he firmly instructed as he opened the car door.When he was about to go inside, his head abruptly turned at the sound of sirens. He rushed towards the corner of the street and watched the direction the cars are heading into.“Check with the station on its whereabouts,” he ordered his agent loudly. He pulled out his phone when he felt it vibrating and saw Damon calling on the line. “Montgomery.”“Head towards The Raven Pub,” Damon said immediately. “There’s trouble with the extraction.”The call then ended.Zach shouted at his team and they immediately took off. He cursed darkly, knowing full well that it has something to do with Alex. He doesn’t have to ask about it. The tone in Buchanan

Alex casually looked at her watch and frowned when she’s been waiting for fifteen minutes already inside the room that she has been told to enter and wait. She stood up and walked around the room several times, her hand touching the wall surface lightly before finally stopping in front of the large viewing panel.She stared at herself, knowing that it’s a one-way glass and the one on the other side is for sure staring at her, studying her carefully. She moved a few inches to her left.What the f8ck do you want with me, Marshall? She thought hardly as she stayed on her ground for a long while. She crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow. Do you want me to stand here all night long or do you want me to show you something that you know I can do?“Game’s up, Marshall,” Alex finally said impatiently. She walked back to her chair and sat down. “I’m not going to play your game tonight. I can get myself out through that exhaust duct at the left corner and you’ll be waiting outside. You took th

Zach stared at Buchanan furiously, his insides boiling when he realized that he has been bugged. He was able to find out when Elise went to his apartment yesterday afternoon and beeping sounds came from her device, that detects different types of bugs.He immediately had Elise and Gavin along with himself, checked his entire apartment from top to bottom. After an hour, he returned to the small office room and found five devices that could hear, track and intercept information sent to him.“Good to see that you’re still on your toes, then,” Buchanan only replied dryly.“You f8cking, conniving -,” Zach snarled.“He gets it!” Alex interrupted rudely as she stepped forward and looked at him haughtily. “Besides, if your mind is somewhere other than what’s under your pants, you would have known it immediately.”Zach turned his anger towards her and before he could stop himself, he had her by the neck and pushing her on the wall, his eyes filled with rage. He gripped her neck hardly when her

Alex sat casually on the couch with her eyes close back at the safe house and listened while Damon is talking on the phone with Director Marshall on a Tuesday morning. She smirked when she heard him lowered his voice, sure that the director is now turning his anger on her.“Did you give Marshall my regards?” Alex asked with a smirk when Damon ended the call.A frown appeared on Damon’s face as he typed on his phone, his mouth set in a firm and angry line. By the look of it, she knew that he is holding his anger over something.“You deliberately ignored the instructions of not going to see your mother!” Damon finally exploded at her. He turned towards her his eyes filled with anger. “What is it with you on following orders, Alex?! F8ck you! Do you know the danger that you placed our family into?!”“I took extra steps to make sure that I’m not followed!” Alex answered back.“Marshall was able to!”“Because he knew me well enough to do that!!” She yelled at him.Damon’s eyes narrowed at

Zach opened his eyes, squinting from the rays of the sun coming through the window, at the sound of his phone vibrating on the side table. He rubbed his eyes before reaching for his phone and stared at the time.F8ck! He thought when it read ten in the morning.He turned towards his side and saw Alex, with her back to him, still sleeping, her body going up and down steadily. His gaze traveled towards the scars on her back and remained there for a while.Most of her scars had already lightened on her skin and could only be seen if one scrutinizes it well. Those that are still visible were during her encounter a few weeks ago at the stadium and then he noted some small cuts as well that looks to be a day old.Dammit, Walters, he cursed in his mind, recalling the explosion last night. He sat up gently and looked down at his phone, seeing encrypted messages, which he knew came from Elise. Making sure that Alex won’t be alerted, he stood up slowly and picked up his shorts on the floor, put

She looked up and saw Zach hovering above her as he placed each hand on her side, trapping her.“What do you mean I have to keep him distracted the entire tomorrow?” Alex scoffed a few hours ago when Damon called her. She closed the door to the unit and proceeded to the kitchen, opening the ref and reached for a beer. “Damon, I went through one of my biggest nightmares and now that?!”“Colton informed me that he caught Elise sending an encrypted message to Montgomery,” Damon explained coldly. “Julia and Murray will be sneaking into his townhouse to bug all his tech. We need whatever info that he will be getting, Alex. You know that.”“Why does it have to be that tactic?” Alex asked. “I can just knock him out cold or spike his drink until we’re done. His phone’s got the tracker and bug as well. Shouldn’t that be eno

WARNING: This Chapter contains mature/sexual content. Read with discretion. Zach opened his eyes when he heard the elevator sound, the doors opening to Alex’s apartment floor level. He went out from the car and proceeded to her unit and then punched the security code to her door. He then went inside, securing the door by bolting it properly, he looked around the dimly lit unit before proceeding to the kitchen opened the refrigerator. He reached for a bottle of beer, opened it and downed it immediately. He needed the alcohol to calm his nerves and make him sleep immediately. Instead of staying for three hours as he had told Alex, he extended another two hours when aside from the gas leak that the investigators had found, one in the bomb squad team discovered three IED explosives. Zach then realized that those three were the reason why the entire building was wrecked. He frowned when he saw there was no more beer left inside the ref and then looked at the counter and saw four empty b

Alex struggled from Zachary’s tight hold as the building in front of her eyes is being engulfed in large flames and collapsing. She shouted in despair as there was another explosion and she tried to elbow him to loosened his hold on her.“Let go of me!” She shouted angrily. “Ashley! Aunt Vickie!”“Get a hold of yourself, Walters!” Zach yelled back at her. He pulled her back with his one hand while his other hand reached for his phone and pressed a number. “This is Montgomery. There’s an explosion here at Urban Diner and I need all responding agencies immediately!”Feeling herself weakening at the sight in front of her, Alex dropped on her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks unmercifully. She could hear Zach talking to her but she could hardly hear him as she watched the diner, she had painstakingly put up with her aunt go down from the flames.The sound of sirens can now be heard and when Alex turned at one direction a strong jet of water finally appeared and started putting out th
