Agent of Hearts

Chapter 1: A Call Before Spain

Eve could feel the sun beaming down on her as she waited for the next bus to arrive. It was only a matter of minutes before Charles would start blowing up her phone.

Could this bus take any longer?

Just as the words flew past her mind, Eve's phone began to vibrate.

She answered, "Hello?"

Nothing.

"Charles? Is that you?"

Silence and then the phone beeped, before she heard a high pitch ringing.
The phone fell from her hand, and confusion raced through her mind. Who could that possibly be? Eve brushed it off and quickly picked up her phone, seeing the small crack at the edge of her phone.

Great. Late for work and a cracked phone.

*20 minutes later*

"Where have you been?" Eve already felt the nagging sensation as she walked past Atticus's annoying glares.

"What can I say? Can't control the bus's arrival." She said, giving a sarcastic response back.

Eve sat down at her desk, already feeling the stress swallowing her whole with the amount of files on her desk.

"You know Charles has been looking for you." Atticus finally states as he sits on the edge of her desk.

"And why have you not told me this sooner?" Picking up one of the new looking files next to him, with a sticker saying 'Restricted Access'.

He shrugs and heads to the other side of the office. Typical Atticus. Only cares about himself, and taunts others with his hideous ego. She sets the file down and heads to Charles' office, dreading whatever news has to come.

As Eve opens the door, she already wants to run out right there. Sitting in one of the cars opposite of Charles was a man worse than Atticus himself. Oscar Cline. The top agent at Cipher Dynamics, and also a total jack*ss.

"Nice for you to finally show up, Eve! Please have a seat." Charles gives her a fake grin as he gestures to the seat next to Oscar.

"I rather stand, sir. What's the issue?" I could feel Oscar's eyes rolling in my response as he sighed. Never in my life will I sit next to him.

"We have a problem. A mission only my two best agents can complete." He slipped a folder over to the center of his desk, the same sticker as on the one on my desk reading 'Restricted Access'. " We had multiple reports of not only human trafficking of royalty and nobles, but also theft, kidnapping, and multiple assassinations. I need you two to protect this woman at all cost." Charles opens the file to a beautiful, brunette woman and in fine print above it says the name Samantha Yorke.

"Who are we protecting this woman from exactly?" Oscar said as he handed Eve the picture for a closer look.

"That, we aren't for sure about but-"

"How can you tell us to protect someone, but not know who from?" Eve blurted out, slamming the file back on his desk.

"We have a lead on some people involved with the crimes." Charles continued. "There is a file laid out on both of your desks. Look through it and be ready."

"Where is this mission located?"

"Spain."
