Ow… What the heck is happening… I don’t remember my bed being this hard…
I awoke with a start, seeing that I wasn’t in bed. As I looked around I realized a few things.
A: I was definitely being held hostage
B: I was in some sort of abandoned facility
C: I wanted coffee
”Hello? Anybody there? Listen I don’t know who you think you are…” I yelled while pulling on my bonds that held me to the wall. “But these chains are highly uncomfortable!”
I heard an exasperated sigh and footsteps coming in my direction.
“Addi please, I’d rather not have this day start with a headache.” Henry. I should’ve known. My British enemy and fellow agent.
Raising an eyebrow I said, “Look, if you wanted alone time with me you coulda just asked.”
He rolled his eyes, “Listen, do you want to know why you’re here?”
I gasped dramatically, “Not an evil monologue!”
”You're a little too chatty being the one tied up,” he said glaring, but he continued. “The agency is falling apart and somehow Dr. Gren is in charge.”
My eyes lost all humor. “What. H-how, I thought he disappeared after the bombing, went off the radar.”
”So did I, but he’s back, and ready for revenge. I need your help to take him down. We have to act fast, he has access to resources that he didn’t have before. Are you in?”
I paused. “You had to kidnap me and bring me into the middle of nowhere to ask me that?”
”Im going to assume you wouldn’t have let me walk up to you and have a chat.”
I paused again. “Yeah probably not. I’m in. But one more thing.”
He nodded, “What is it?”
”Lets stop for coffee on the way.”
