I scan the file that was in the flash drive. I saw pictures and names, I googled those man and realize how big those names are. What did my father do to them? He had been a good man during his service.

I kept my self away from people and was not in myself for months, I walk by along the lover’s lane on Paris feeling unloved and alone. A man approaches me.

“How come a beautiful lady like you is waking alone?” a word from a man of my age, I did not say a word, after all he is a complete stranger; I took a sit and he sits beside me.

“I see you don’t talk to someone you barely know.” Still I gave him silence

“I am no stranger, I almost know a lot about you Kate.”, pause “Harry should have kept himself away from you.” Those words make me turn head.

“How did you know him?” he lean his face near me and put his arms around my neck. He was chocking me! He whisper in my ears

    …sweat is slowly traveling down my face and my eyes are getting dry, one blink and I might miss some details. All I can hear is my own breathing and the sound of interrupted frequency on my ear piece. “Shoot it”, ten minutes had passed since I heard that command. “What the hell are you doing? Shoot…” Before he had finished his word I had planted that bullet straight to that man’s temple. And the entire policeman came to secure the place.Just as how fast that bullet travels, I found myself inside this hotel room. I need to take a shower and maybe get some sleep. The warm water touching my skin is not enough to calm my trembling muscles, “first man down and more to come.” I keep on saying that to myself. I try to wash my face maybe it could erase the image of blood flowing out of that man’s head a while ago. I washed and washed my face.“Not bad for a first shot” as he offer me a clean towel. &ldq

    2:15 in the afternoon, I finally get inside the plane. Getting new hair color makes me feel like a different person. The plane is about to take off but I haven’t find the man in the picture. James said he will drop me call but all I got is a disposable device full of instruction and burst out after he had just finished talking. He gave me a ring to serve as a tracker and communication device to him and a pile of documents to read. The plane is starting to get off the ground; I suddenly miss my old pillow and my mother’s cookie. He said this will be a long project, when will I can get home?“I think he ordered you to find someone, but looks like you fail” a low tone voice from the man beside me. I started to turn my head and saw a bearded man in his brown leather coat paired with old moss green scarf.“I guess he showed you a picture from years ago. Thank God, that eye color didn’t change as we age.” He took off his sun glasses

    …the smell of a roasted coffee awakens every cell that I have. I look around and found myself inside a modern furnish room with red and white interior. I try to remember the last scene that my head can recall. Suddenly the door crack open and I saw the bearded man in his white shirt and boxer short. My eyes took time staring at the shadow behind his athlete legs.“Good morning Kate, coffee to freshen you up.” , he hand me a cup and he sit at one corner of the bed.“I haven’t introduced myself formally. But I guess you had read my profile, on daily basis from now on you should call me Z, Zander Gray is my name. And you are Jane Gray. We are married my dear”I almost spit off the coffee and I gave him a puzzled look.“Why? Is the coffee not good? Or you don’t want to be married with a bearded man?” he laugh and his eyes get serious as he look at my shocked face “You did not do your assignment didn

    I could hear the phone ring, but my body is too tired to move, even my eyes are too heavy to look. One...two...three... and the phone stop ringing. Even without opening my eyes I can feel that there is somebody approaching me. Then I felt a warm object touches my skin, I grab it and I could feel the force at the other edge. I release my grip and I could hear the sound of a falling body on the floor. Heading to the person covered with white blanket on the ground, I grab the other edge of the cloth and roll it over his head… “S...top” a voice from the person inside the blanket. That voice get me into my senses again, I loosen up and uncover him. I saw Zander choking in his breath; his beard cannot hide the redness of his face. I feel a sleep while waiting for his return, a poor man I think he was trying to put blanket over me.“I’m sorry, it was my muscle memory that does that violence...” helping him get into sofa, his shoulder moves

    Monday, 7 am I woke up and saw the table was done and Z was putting the two cups of coffee on the table.“Good morning Z” and I sat down and took a sip.

I hold the cup and smell it again.“Good morning my dear wife, shouldn’t you be the one who needs to do the cooking?” smiling at me“I’m sorry; I will try it next time. You make a good coffee though.” And I took another sip“Thank you, I worked as a barista for 3 years in Italy.” And he winked. He put an egg and ham on my plate, “You should eat a lot, today is your first day at work”I almost forgot, I need to report at the office for my first day of work as an accountant to a local firm.

    Its 4pm we stop in a rural market where the streets were almost quiet. The people walking as if they were enjoying every step they made. I could see boutiques that sell dresses and shoes.“Let’s move quickly and get some decent cloth.” We get inside an old store and a happy old lady approach us. She gave me a weird stare as she looks into the sleeves I am wearing“Someone spill a spaghetti on my shirt, that’s why I am wearing this” I could feel my face blush a bit as I try to explain myself to the old lady.
