(Before, I move on, to the story, I want to pull your attention to the beautiful cover art by Yazhin my friend, thank you dear, for this beautiful creation😍)
Mr. Alvarez: He is dead.

Jacob: The closest thing we had, got ruined.

Mr. Alvarez: Do you have anything to say on this?. 

Jacob: I take full responsibility of this. I missed that damn pill of cyanide hanging off his bracelet. 

Mr. Alvarez supported his hands on the brim of the table as he looked up at Jacob, he kept his face hung low, in an attempt to hide his frustrated eyes.

Mr. Alvarez: That was a mistake. A terrible rather. But, we can't sulk on this forever. It's been two days. 

Jacob: We have to come up with a new plan.

Mr. Alvarez: When? 

It was two days, after the interrogation disaster, when the team gathered in Mr. Alvarez office for a weekly review of the mission. 

Mr. Alvarez: I am taking up, from now. The week long hospital vacation did take a toll on me. We will get into a formal meeting today at 6 pm. I need to know, every detail, without any cover. I hope I am clear?

Jackson: I would suggest something, Thompsons. You better  have strong backup plans this time. Because, time and environment are always waiting to screw up your plans, while dressed up as your friend. Right, Ms Parc?

Madeline looked up at Jackson and creased her eyebrows, to show her disapproval. Jackson rolled his eyes and left the place. Everyone in the gathering got distracted by his words and turned towards Madeline. Jacob understood the gravity of the situation as he let out a tensed breath. Madeline walked out of the room in a haste. 

Mr. Alvarez trying t simplify it and spoke: What exactly, did I miss?

Jacob looked up at Mr. Alvarez, but did not utter a word. 

Madeline thumped in anger towards Jackson, who was walking through the busy workstations, towards the exit. Madeline walked past him, grabbed him by his arm and tried to pull him with herself towards the exit. Jackson repulsed immediately.

Jackson spoke in a low voice: I am not upto any form of drama. So, just back of. 

Madeline: NO! We need to have some serious talking now. 

Jackson: I don't change my word.

Madeline: REX!

Jackson glared, pointing a finger towards Madeline.

Jackson: DON'T CALL ME THAT.

After, a few seconds, they realised, that their words were loud enough to pull everyone's attention, as both scanned around to find clueless eyes pointing towards them.

Jackson gave her a disgusted look, before he left the place. 

Madeline followed him outside the gate.

Madeline: You didn't just hint at me, at the meeting. Stop playing the victim card, when you know nothing. 

Jackson stopped and turned towards Madeline, who was standing at the glass entrance. 

Jackson walked towards Madeline, and scanned through the street until his eyes caught a small park. 

Jackson: Let's go to that park, shall we? Grab some take out, and enjoy the drama. eh?

Madeline: What on earth are you talking about? I am not getting distracted, okay? I am not going anywhere with you. You will talk, that's it.

Jackson: That's it. Right. Follow me.
