…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’t you? I guess it was written on the file that was sent to you ahead…..” sipping his coffee “…and um Kate, you’re not really a talker?”

“Well, I am actually a talker but right now I am still trying to grasp all the words that I’ve heard. I haven’t read the file that he hand me. I was planning to read it while on plane or on the way here. But I think you had said it all”

“Well, that is not so good news for me, if you have just read it you will not act strange at all from the moment we had a conversation at the plane.” Taking another sip on his cup “and Oh, by the way I had burned that file. Rule number 5, never bring script at the actual play. Sorry for checking with your luggage, I am just trying to make sure that we came here clean and as new people as who we should be. Cause we are paid for this.” And he stood up and walks his way out.

Seriously? What did he just said? I am married with him and what was in the file exactly? Did he even mention that he run thru my luggage? And I grab myself out of the bed to find my empty luggage. I came out of the room, and was amazed by a white and gold interior living room. With a huge wedding photo of us.

“When did we get this thing done?” pointing at the picture

“Didn’t you know who we work for? Oh…I almost forgot, you did not do your homework.” With a deep breath “Kate, we work with the international security agency. They have all the tools to make everything done. They have all the information and money that we need. I can’t believe they sent me a newbie. “ he walks into the kitchen area on the left side.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but if you will just let me know everything that was written on that package then I might be able to go on with what I should be here. I am a fast learner Z.”

I could sense the irritation in him towards me; even with his bearded face I could see his lips curve a bit in disappointment as he pour another batch of coffee to his cup. I cannot say a word, he is right I am very neglectful for not even opening that files that James hand me. I followed him as he sit on the table with two plates with bacon and bread. He moved the chair as if telling me to sit. I remember what James had told me “he trusts what is inside this shell”. He put bacon on my plate and started eating for himself. I cannot last this air of silence, James is right; he had set everything including the place. But he forgot to tell me about this set up. I can hear him deep breathing. I should break this silence, with my trembling voice I utter. ”I’m really sorry” He just gave me a glance.

“Look Kate, I’ve been doing this job for quite some time, and I had worked with a lot of people but your case is special.” Smirking “This is my first time to work with someone who doesn’t have any idea of what she is doing or even who she works for.” He lean his face near me, with this distance I can smell the coffee on his breathe for few seconds and he lean back to his sit. “I could smell a child inside of you, Ha! You finish your breakfast and took shower, I will tell you everything later.” And he stood up and grabs his coat near the front door, “Do not open this door nor talk to anyone, when I get back I will tell you how we will work this out.”

That was a rough morning. For a minute I almost forgot to appreciate this cozy place, I roll my eyes around. The onyx wall that serves as division from living room to kitchen area was very stunning it matches the old English interior of the kitchen. This place looks more like a hotel than a home for a husband and wife.

(Sigh) and he is right…. I don’t have an idea.

    5:40 in the morning, standing at the departure area with Chris. He is wearing sunglasses to hide the bruises in his left eye.“You can leave me now Chris.” I can see his eyes falling, I am not sure if he even take a nap. After he brought Brian to old building he told me to go home and pack my luggage for the business trip.“I have to make sure whose traveling with you.” Rubbing his eyes, I put my hands in his face feeling his rough face cause by the little hair that is growing in his face again.“You are hot, you must take a rest.” He lean his face closer, for a quick seconds my heart is pounding so fast again. I was looking straight to his green eyes and his dry lips with bruise. My muscle pushes my body closer to him and our lips were touching each other.“I guess that was a good bye kiss.” Those cold words from Frank put my head back to its consciousness.“Good morning Frank” as he shak

    “1 minute left to get off the place.” Reminding him of the time before the securities notice that the screens on their monitor were manipulated. He wraps Brian on a blanket and run out of the place, he took the stairs and I put every door on the floor on lock. He gets in the parking lot and placed Brian at the back of the car.“30 seconds late.” I am slowly putting most of monitor back to its original view aside from the parking area. “Run out Chris, I will be setting things in normal in 10 seconds.” He stepped on the gas and went out of the place. He is now driving on the road.“Where are you bringing him?”“To you.” And he drive towards my direction, I watched the screen as it tries to locate his exact location.Crap, how can this old building handle such tension?

During evening I drove at the abandon building, waiting for an instruction from Chris’ as he move from road to road. We manage to maximize the space at the old hotel room. There are days that I fall asleep while watching at Brian’s open window. Nights when I hear him on the earpiece on my head saying look for the man behind him and shoot if he will do suspicious moves.The frequency went on again I could hear Chris on the other line,“Wake up Kate.”“I am not sleeping” I took my laptop and try to locate him “I could see you now” he was heading on Brian’s place “So are we shooting him now?” we’ve been following him for a weeks and saw him talk to people that might be significant on our project.We were able to hack on the surveillance all over Brian’s place, actually not just his place but

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&ldqu

    “Can you open the window on your side please?” Zander finally breaking the silence inside the car“It’s cold.” I bluntly said, he opens the window on his side and laughingly said“I could smell jealousy inside let’s get some air to freshen us up…Oh my Kate! Haha”“I am not jealous Chris.” His shoulder moving as he tries to hide his laughter. “I just can’t believe you’re flirting with Alice in front of me, shouldn’t we need to act as if were faithful to each other?” in irritation“Woah that is not written on the script…husband is not always faithful. That is what typical man does.”As he tries to make his argument I noticed that we are not heading the right way.“Hey, did you forget where we live?”“Sh…the night is just starting Kate, we still have a work to do.”He stops in front of
