2021-10-16 23:26:32Alexandra Walters had just pushed opened the door to the diner, she rans together with her aunt and younger sister, when she heard Malcolm’s litany that he will be giving her a piece of his mind. Another long and boring lecture, for sure.
She rolled her eyes at that thought as she took off her helmet and stopped when she noticed that there was another person with them.
“Oh, I’m pretty sure she’s just going to roll her eyes on you during your lecture.” She commented sarcastically.
Ashley, her younger sister looked up with a relief expression on her face while the two men turned towards her. While Malcolm was giving her a frown, the man beside him was looking at her with curiosity and if she guessed correct, somewhat interested.
“Where the hell were you?!”
They looked towards the voice and Alexandra saw her aunt, coming out from the kitchen holding a wooden spatula and pointing it threateningly at Alexandra.
“Oh, you’re making my blood pressure rise, Alexandra!” Her Aunt Vicky lashed out, swinging the spatula in the air. “Do you know what happened just hours ago?! There was an explosion just several feet from us and I couldn’t contact you!”
Alexandra ducked when her aunt waved the spatula again.
“So, is this the reason why this FBI is here?”
She was surprised that they gave her shocking look.
“Obviously, he’s wearing his jacket,” Alex pointed out sarcastically as she sauntered towards the counter and went behind it, placing her helmet on top. She opened one refrigerator and pulled out a bottle of Corona, opening it immediately and took a drink. “So, why is he here?”
“I called Malcolm because I got worried,” Ashley answered for them. “Where did you go?”
“I went to Jake’s.”
“Are you still dating that guy?” Malcolm asked intently.
Alexandra looked at him, one eyebrow raised.
“That’s none of your concern, Malc,” she answered lightly as she placed her bottle on the counter and took out her phone. She saw a message from a former officemate and decided to read it later before looking at the FBI guy. “I didn’t get your name. You are?”
“Zachary Montgomery,” he introduced himself patiently. “I worked in the counterterrorism division and was checking on the incident.”
“Oh. So, you’re like one of the top guys over there at the bureau?” She asked casually.
“I don’t get what you mean,” he responded carefully.
Alexandra only let out a slight smirk as she reached for her beer again and stood up straight. “There’s no meaning on that question,” she commented patiently. “Anyway, I’ll it a night for me, guys. Do you need help, Ash?”
“I’ll be fine,” her sister assured. “By the way, Aunt Vicky will be having her blood works tomorrow. You’ll be on opening shift.”
“Sure.”
“It was nice meeting you, Mr. Montgomery,” Alexandra then said patiently. She saluted Malcolm with her bottle as she walked towards the swing door. “See you around, Malc. Or probably tomorrow. You haven’t given me a piece of your mind yet.”
She then took off, finishing her beer along the way before finally pulling out her phone and pressed speed dial. She waited for her call to be answered.
“Hey,” she greeted firmly. “You busy? I need you to run a check for me.”
“As far as I know, you no longer work here,” the voice answered sarcastically.
Alexandra rolled her eyes as she climbed up the steps to her room and making sure that the wheelchair lift for Ashley is already at the ground floor.
“That’s why I called you, stupid,” she retorted, opening the door to her room. She sat on her desk and immediately turned on her PC and laptop to checked on the CCTV recordings. She moved her mouse to review all the footages the cameras had taken prior to the incident. “He was checking on the explosion a while ago and Malc brought him over for beer.”
“Fine,” the voice said. “What’s his name?”
“Zachary Montgomery,” she answered as her eyes scanned the monitor. “He works in FBI under the counterterrorism division. May I have the details tomorrow?”
“You’re much demanding than the director.”
“Yeah, well get to it, then,” she said. “I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Alexandra placed her phone down on her desk as she finally found the footage that she needs. She watched as debris were blown off towards the corner and people running away to save themselves. She rewinds the footage again and took note of the time.
“What the hell is the intention?” She muttered as she replayed the footage repeatedly. She leaned back on her chair before deciding to check the other monitors with the time she noted on the explosion. She typed on her laptop and waited for the map within twenty-kilometer radius from the point of explosion to appear on her screen. “And, who the hell are you working for?”

Alexandra woke up the following day at the sound of her alarm at four-thirty in the morning, reaching over the side table and turned it off. She remained still for a few minutes before finally sitting up and stretching her arms up.She finally got up and changed into her running clothes, putting over a grey hoodie and grabbing her cap before going out of her room.After making sure that she closely secured the service door where she went out, she put on her headset and pressed play on her phone. She then set her watch and started walking briskly for a while, doing some stretching before finally picking up the pace. She started running on her feet, her breathing synchronizing with her pace.She approached the uphill part of the city, and she adjusted her pacing before speeding up again. She ran a total of 10 miles in an hour and a half and she stopped over the park for a few minutes to take a breather before walking back home.Alexandra took a drink from t

Zachary was checking the explosion site when he was alerted of an incident at the diner he went to last night with Malcolm. After giving instructions to his agents of where he will be, he walked towards The Urban Diner where there are two police cars parking in front and personnel holding off customers or curious crowds.“FBI,” he said, showing his badge and he was allowed in.The sight that greeted him was something he would not have thought of. Alexandra, the woman who piqued his interest after seeing her last night was sitting on one chair, nursing a black eye. He watched as she was glaring daggers at two men, who were being read their rights as handcuffs were being placed on them. Her younger sister is beside her, nursing a wound on her right upper arm and saying some words to calm her down.He looked down and found several firearms as well as some IED explosives.“I’ll just have them in for process at the station and hand them

Zach placed down the folder back on his desk after going through the report that his field agents did over the explosion site that happened. He sat up straight and typed into his keyboard, looking at the footages his agents had gotten from the CCTV’s installed by the city.His phone suddenly rang, and he reached into his drawer to see who’s calling.“Zach,” he said after answering the call.“Hi!” A sweet voice came, which belong to the woman he is currently dating, Jacinta Jacobs. “Did I call at a bad time? I can call again later.”He leaned back on his chair.“No, no, it’s okay,” he assured gently. “Is there anything wrong?”“I have to cancel for our date this weekend,” she said apologetically. “Mom called me up this morning and asked if I can make a trip back home. Dad’s not doing well, and she just wants to be prepared for anything that m

Alex tapped her pen on the file she had printed out and read through the description she had of Zach Montgomery, or she had cynically called Mr. FBI on a late Thursday night. She knew the moment she met his eyes that first night is that he is someone that she should be careful of. He’s someone that she’s not going to depend on to keep her background classified.“Harvard Law,” she commented with a smile. “Well, well, well. Touché, Mr. FBI.”She read through the file that was sent to her.Zachary Montgomery, born March 28, 1985, to parents Nathaniel Montgomery, a well-known criminal lawyer in the country and was formerly a District Attorney back in his days and Marian Montgomery, a top cardiothoracic surgeon. Zach is the third child and son in a brood of seven. While his two older brothers, and one younger brother, followed in the footsteps of their father, he somehow had a changed of mind because after he finished Law Sc

Zach parked his car on a Monday morning and immediately went out, reaching for his phone in his jacket pocket. He saw his secretary calling him.“Yes, Anne?”“You have one interview for the translator this morning, sir,” she immediately informed, a hint of amusement in her voice. “She’s already here along with her credentials. It looks good.”“Just one?!” He asked intently as he made his way to the elevator to bring him up.He then ended the call when he got in the car and pressed the number to his floor level. He frowned slightly at the thought of only reaching one person for the job. He then started planning in his mind to have qualified agents enrolled in foreign languages just to further up their performance.“Morning, Zach,” some of his officemates greeted when they passed each other along the hallway.The minute he turned left towards his office; he was greeted by the vi

Alex paid the taxi driver her fare and went down the from the car. She stood silently at the sidewalk for a long while, contemplating on what to do. She cursed inwardly when her phone rang. She looked at it and saw Damon calling.“What?!” She answered hardly.“I take it that your interview didn’t go well,” Damon mused sarcastically. “Why didn’t you win him with your charm, Walters? I’ve seen you lure those militants back in Iraq, Russia, and Warsaw, and it didn’t take you that much effort. Did you make Montgomery angry with your attitude?”“He’s threatened by a mere slip of a woman, that’s what,” she spat back. She looked to her right and frown when she saw a light grey Land Rover, parked in front of the diner. She traveled her eyes towards the dining area and frowned. “I’ll call you back, Damon.”She abruptly ended the call, stuffing her phone in her bla

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

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.

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
