Chapter Five

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-24 21:07:25

To be honest it felt good to put Greta in her place. She had done too much and now I wasn't going to take it.

“Scarfaced is responsible for the treacherous killing and butchering we see in pictures and videos”

“So Alfredo is just the name? He's actually harmless?”

“From the looks of things yes”

“Any weaknesses”

“Yes, alcohol”

“As expected”

“You'd mistake him for an alcoholic but it's just an addiction he avoids”

We both giggle

“You know he's actually good looking, handsome I'd say”

“So now you've got eyes for our mark”

I stare at him sarcastically

“Be serious, it's just… it's just umm”

I get lost for words

“A what?”

Carlos mocks me with a laugh 

I clear my throat 

“It's just an observation. Thank. You”

“You're welcome”

The smirk around his lips comes to life.

“So enough about my mark. Tell me about my cover. Who is Maria?”

“Very simple. She is an Italian orphan who is loyal to her masters”

“She sounds like a slave?”

“She's supposed to be

“Is that how Italians like it?”

“That's how mobs like it”

“Tell me about it”

“Maria doesn't exist, she's invisible”

“I get the concept”

“Happy we're on the same page. Now back to our target. The aim is to get as much info as we can get. You're going to have tiny speakers interlaced in your hair”

“Like San Francisco”

I smile as I bring back a memory 

“Like San Francisco”

He replies as he nods. 

“Octavia, you leave tomorrow”

“And?”

“It's an extremely dangerous mission, forget the jokes”

“Don't get emotional”

“But I am”

He swipes his eyelids 

“You've been best friends for as long as I've been working here”

I don't wanna lose you, he hugs me. Even though I'd hate to admit it. I would miss Carlos.

“It's okay you'll make me lose focus if the mission with all these emotions you're sharing”

I retort

“You're right, I'm so sorry”

“It's okay Carlos, I'll miss you too. I don't know how long this mission is gonna take especially with the danger involved it scares me honestly, but I try not to frightened with it especially because the lives of so many will be saved”

“Very true. Our plan is to make sure you succeed not die”

“So Greta said I should give you this bag. You leave for Italy tomorrow, your passport and credentials are here”

I collect the bag, unzip it and go through each of the documents. Why? It's Greta she could try to sabotage me. Once I'm sure everything looks great, I hug Carlos and leave.

“Alright Carlos off to be Maria the disposable invisible slave to the Italian mob”

We both giggled as I closed the door and left the office. On my drive home I realized that I had never imagined myself dying and to be honest, I had never imagined myself doing a lot of things like having a family or falling in love and  running away not even with J who was just a douchebag. What was wrong with me, right in front of me was a mission that I needed by all means to succeed and I was thinking about starting up a family, truly I'm funny.

Got into my apartment and I swear I knew someone was inside waiting for me and to my unfailing surprise who was it, it was J

“If I didn't know you, you'd be dead by now”

“I know”

“What do you want?”

I said as I kept my bag on the kitchen slab.

“I want you”

I looked at him with confusion because I wasn't ready to do this again 

“J get out”

“I won't”

I look at him so furiously, my continent wasn't in the right frame of mind for this

“J get out before I have to kick your ass”

He falls on the floor 

“I won't leave until to you agree to forfeit this mission”

I pull out my passport and travel documents and flash it in his face

“Too late, I leave first thing tomorrow morning. Now get out”

He looks too upset to talk

“Listen I have nothing to tell you, just get out”

Just then J pulls out a gun and shoots himself in the head. I wasn't prepared for this, literally.

    Standing beside the security guard I was this close to getting caught. I couldn't hear anything because the speakers I had on had got its wires tangled when I was trying to get out of the air vents. It was just me. My entire team was outside in a van right across the street from the building I was in. The entire mission depended on me. “Hello miss, would you like a dance”A fine gentleman walked up to me and offered a dance, although the security was in disapproval because he didn't like me. He couldn't do anything because the man I was about to dance with was none other than the son of the owner of the building I was in. Elegantly, I stretched my hand. Grasping it in his arms, he led me to the dance floor. “You look really beautiful”I pretended to blush, I wasn't here for compliments unfortunately. I was here for business.“Oh thank you, you're quite handsome I must admit”I pretended to give into his false charm. I had to use what I had to get what I wanted. After a few dances an

    I had made up my mind, I was going to leave the agency, after everything I had done for Greta. She picks J’s side, what was I expecting. I had already planned to travel somewhere in Europe, maybe Romania. I hadn't been there in about two years when I had gone to bury my foster mother. I needed the space. I had to meet the council to submit my resignation properly. Walking in, my eyes met with J’s. He stood at the extreme end of the office. He was the last person I wanted to see. I took in a breath and I felt someone patting my shoulder, quickly my instinct made me turn around to wrap my hands around whoever was standing behind. Unfortunately it was Carlos.“Hey, hey”He hastily said. Looking at the fear in his eyes, I felt disgusted with myself.“You don't have to be uptight with everyone”I removed my hands from around his neck, he was right though. I didn't have to cut everyone off.“I'm sorry, it's the paranoia, I couldn't sleep last night”“The caffeine is kicking in?”“No, it's

    I could tell the story of how a top agent had to play the role of maid to spy on one of the most feared Mafia bosses in the world. “Alfredo De El” I read his name out loud. I had never thought a mission was above me. The intense training it would take to maintain my cover because I couldn't risk getting caught. The moment my cover gets blown it would be the end of the road for me. I stood in front of the board once more looking at each of them eyeball to eyeball. The irony of this mission is was supposed to fail, not to survive, I mean I wasn't the only agent they had sent to try and penetrate the cartel and if I couldn't achieve the goal, I wouldn't be the last. “Before we set you off to your mission you're going to go through a specific type of training we call armoury”Greta said, I eyed her with the side of my eye. I hated more than I had ever hated anyone before. “I don't need any dumb training, I can do this by myself”I said folded my hands, Greta smirked while I felt a hand

    Pictures of dead bodies clouded in front of my eyes. These images were terrifying. Agents that I respected, who worked for the agency butchered. Videos of them being tortured continually played for me to see, was the aim to fill me with fear? Alfredo De El was quite treacherous.“It's okay”I screamed, there was silence and awkward stares then they looked at me again. “Put it off, I've hard enough”Said it like I was giving up. Mumurs continued and the videos didn't stop. I heard screams. I couldn't take it. I just wanted to break loose and leave that place but I couldn't my hands were strapped to the chair.
