Eva
She entered her department and met with thunderous applause. Eva couldn't help but smile, she knew it was Dave who must be behind this. Because it was only him and their department head Mr Stevens who knew about the completion of her successful spy operation.
Eva was working as an overseas spy for the Intelligence Service of her country for the last five years. She was lucky enough not to get caught once. She had helped dispose of many criminals and hatch many conspiracies against their country. She was an asset to her department and Mr Stevens, her boss was proud of her, he was her mentor and also her boss.
She was gladly hugging and shaking hands with other members of her department when Dave walked into the hall with a cake and 9 candles depicting her 9th successful operation. He gave her a proud smile and placed the cake on a nearby table. Then he walked towards her and gave her a bear hug.
"Congratulations bunny on yet another milestone in your career". Dave congratulated her from all his heart.
"Thanks, Dave". She said humbly.
She knew how proud Dave was for her achievement, and she knew why. She liked him, he was her good friend but she could never give him what he wanted. She never thought about him in the way Dave wanted her to, actually, she never had since the death of Robb, she felt a sting of pain when she remembered him.
Robb was the reason she had joined the secret service. And since he died she could never get close to any male of her species in the way most of them wanted. She was a sorry mess from inside. Not able to date anyone, love was completely out of the picture. Sometimes she felt pity for Dave, the poor dude didn't have any idea he was trying to cultivate a garden on barren land.
Though she was there with everyone smiling, cutting the cake, laughing and talking with all. But still, her mind and her heart were with Robb, the love of her life who was no more with her due to some people who didn't give a damn for the lives of innocent just were power-hungry monster's ready to sacrifice anything and anyone just for the sake of retaining power.
"Eva, Mr Stevens would like to see you in his office". Jane the PA of Stevens told her when she was busy chatting with another female member or her department Catherine.
"I will be there in a moment". Eva apologized to Catherine and headed towards Stevens' office. She sighed and knocked on the door. She knew he must be calling her to hand over another assignment, she took a fortnight leave after her last assignment and now it was time to be back to work.
"Come in". She heard his reply and turned the knob on the door and entered his office. It had been nearly six months since last she was here. Everything was in the same place for the last five years she has been coming here but the only change this time was the stranger sitting along with Stevens on the sofa. He was a man in his early fifties, tall, well built, and with intelligent grey eyes.
"Ohhh, Eva come child". Mr Stevens who was in his late sixties always used to address her like his daughter.
"Here, meet Mr Wajahat Aalam from the Interpol, he is here for a very important assignment. Let me warn you this will be the most dangerous operation if you choose to accept it." Stevens introduced her to the stranger and along with it warned her for the upcoming task.
"Hello, Mr Aalam, glad to meet you". Eva shook hands with Aalam and sat on the Arm Chair opposite to the sofa they were sitting on.
"Our Intelligent Service and the Interpol would like you to get close to this man. A few Interpol operatives have tried to get close to him but that man is not easily deceived. He doesn't trust anyone except a few of his closest aides. We tried to reach out to them but it seems they are not to be cracked easily. We have got a couple of men in his company and they have been able to fire one of his secretaries and we don't want to put someone in that place with a doubt whether or not they will be able to get to him. So you have been chosen to carry out this mission." Stevens said in his usual commanding tone which meant no more nonsense.
"We need you to get any information you can from him. But I will warn you this man is very dangerous and ruthless. None of your past assignments could ever get close to him". Aalam warned her, but she sensed from Aalam's tone that Aalam admired this man about who he was warning her.
"And what if I choose not to accept this mission?" Eva asked daringly.
"I heard your fiancée died in a plane crash didn't he Ms Smith. It was the flight from Vancouver to London right?" Aalam asked in his low voice which she could barely hear.
Eva was taken aback, how did he know about Robb, and what was the connection between Robb and RRH. She was looking at Aalam dumbfounded.
"Well, the crash was carried out by the RRH. To warn the Government of the United States and England the implications if they try to stop their operations in their country." He smiled in the manner as if challenging her to not accept this mission now.
Eva was in complete shock. She had been trying to know the reason for the crash and the people behind it, but as her country was not an ally to the US nor UK, she was not able to extract this information. She had joined the Secret service so one day she could avenge Robb and now was the chance and there was nothing in this world which could have stopped her from avenging him.
