Weeks later
It's been pretty quiet and boring here in London. I mean I know we have to be living here undercover but there's only so much I can take without doing anything. At least back in the states I would do exciting ops while being undercover. Well I guess I can't complain because I do hate going out. Today was our day off so this meant we can go out and drink or do whatever with our time. Abigail wanted to go out to so we decided to go to a casino.
Yeah even though we were undercover we can have fun. Abigail and I changed into more fitted dresses and made our way to lobby. We rented out a room since we knew one of us was going to get wasted so we wouldn't have to bother going back to our rental house. As soon as we arrived to the casino area a man gives us two margaritas. "On the house for the two beautiful ladies," he says and walks away.
Abigail smiles at me. "See I told you that we were going to have fun." I nod. We went over to look for a table. Abigail was on a roll going on machine after machine and let me tell you she had such luck that I'm sure she can get the jackpot. After a while she comes and sits back down.
"Emma, oh I mean Jennifer come on let's have some fun." While being undercover we have to use false names, mine is Jennifer and Abigail's is Lana. So yeah we can't be using our real names around here, not when we are spying on German and Russian allies. Oh and we changed our appearance, I dyed my hair brown and Abigail cut her hair so yeah. "I am having fun." She gives me a straight face. I laugh. She then takes me to the other side of the casino where there's a dance floor.
She starts to dance and is going crazy. I loved seeing her like that but now I could tell that she was getting drunk. I looked over to other side of the dance floor and I see two men that looked like they were in our same situation, one was completely drunk and the other was there taking care of the other. I laughed. I guess I'm not the only one suffering.
Hours pass by and Abigail is wasted. "Damn it Lana, you're wasted." She smiles. "Nonsense," she says all slurred and I sigh. "You need to go to sleep," I say and she shakes her head. I put one arm over my shoulder and I walked her up to our room. As I'm walking in the hallway I see the same man again and he was also holding his drunk friend.
We both laugh and walked passed each other. I open the door to our room and I place Abigail on the bed. "You're no fun," she says then passes out on the bed. I laugh and tuck her in. "Good night girl." I walked passed the mirror and I see the necklace Killian gave me. I sigh and touched it. I then take it off. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to not wear it for one night.
I place it in the drawer and then walked out. As I walked out I see the man coming out of the room two doors from mine. He laughs then walks up to me. My was he handsome, I was a little drunk but man he reminded me so much of Killian. I shook my head, no it can't be him.
"I guess we both had to deal with our drunk friends huh?" I laugh. "Would you like to have a drink with me?" I smile. We then walk down to the bar. He orders drinks for us and we sit at a table. "So what's a beautiful woman like you doing here because by your accent I can tell you're not from around here." I smile. "Hmm handsome and smart." He smirks.
"I came to London with my friend Lana." He smiles. "For what?" I smile. "Well aren't you a nosy one?" He smirks and takes a sip. "No I'm just curious to know about you miss..." I smile. "Jennifer." He smiles. "And what's your name?" He smiles. "It's Colin beautiful." I smile. "So judging by your accent you are from around here, so is there any place you recommend my friend and I to go visit?" He smiles.
"Beautiful and smart." I smile. God just looking at him, reminded me so much of Killian but he looks a tad different so I knew it couldn't be him. "So it's your first time here?" I nod. "Well it depends on what you like?" He says as he scoots closer to me. I start to get a bit nervous but I continue to smile.
"If you like art work, there are wonderful museums here, or if you like to dance there are various private clubs you can go to," he says as he starts to caress my arm. I smile. "Private clubs you say," I say as I scooted even closer to him. He smiles and nods. "You know I don't tend to do this but how about we...." I smirk.
We make our way to the elevator and as soon as the doors closed. Colin started to kiss me. God he kissed amazing, I hated myself for doing this but this is the only way to forget about Killian. The door opens to our floor and Colin pushes me against the wall. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. Damn he is making me go insane. He starts to kiss my neck and I see someone coming out from one of the rooms.
It was one of the Russian guys that we learned about during our debriefing. He walks our way and I gasp. I know he doesn't know me but it's best he doesn't see my face. "Oh God Colin you are amazing," I say and started to kiss him. As I'm kissing him out of the corner of my eye I see the man walking passed us and stands in front of the elevator. He gets in and the door closes. I gasp and I let go of Colin.
I smile. "Oooo umm that was...." He smiles. "Shall we continue in the room?" I smile. "Well I don't think it's appropriate since we have our friends passed out in our rooms." He chuckles and continues to scan my face. "I'm sure either one won't mind." I giggle. "Hmmm, I would like that but how about we continue later." He nods. "Well I am a gentleman so I will honor that Jennifer." I smile and looked at the floor levels signs. We were on the 30th floor and he was barely on the 17th.
I nod. "How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow night, but not here." I smile. "I would like that." I keep glancing and the little monitor and started to panic. "Here's my number handsome." He smiles. I take out my lipstick and wrote my number on his arm. I then give him a kiss. "I look forward in having dinner with you sir." He smiles. "Likewise, I shall be calling you tomorrow." I glance at the monitor and he's on the 7th floor. I nod.
"Good night," I say and he nods. I start to make my way towards my room and he makes his way towards his. He gets in his room and closes the door. I immediately take off my heels and took out my emergency suitcase. I always bring it because you never know when you will need to go on a mission. I didn't have time to change so I put on some flats that I have and put my utility belt on.
I opened the door and ran to the elevator. He just hit the lobby. Damn. I rushed to the stairs and connected a line and I lowered myself down. I let go and ran to the lobby. I look around and I see him walking out the doors. I get to the door and he drives off. I take out my phone and snapped a picture of him and his license plate.
Damn it. That's when I get a text from Colin. "I hope you have a good night Jennifer." I sigh but I couldn't help but smile. Man if I wasn't making out with that stranger I would have been able to follow him but then again it was my day off. I made my way back to the room and sighed.
I look over at Abigail and she's still out. God she's amazing but if she wasn't drunk maybe she could have gone after him. Well at least I got a lead so that's something. I take out my laptop and messaged August sending him all the stuff. Once I finished I put everything away and I went to change. I stood in front of the vanity and then I opened the drawer. I pulled out my necklace and sighed.
I guess it's time to forget about Killian, maybe with this new guy Colin I can have a new chance at love or well at least a distraction of some sort. I put it down and went to the bed. I take out my phone and texted him back. "Likewise Colin, Good night."
Killian's POV
Damn that girl Jennifer, she was amazing and breathtaking. I gotta say she sort of looked like Emma but Emma would never dye her hair brown or be in London. Even though I long to be with Emma maybe being with Jen is the new start I need. "Likewise Colin, Good night." I smile as I look at her message. Colin isn't me but for now he will do. That's when I hear Sean groan and I laugh.
He then goes back to sleep and I laid down thinking about Jennifer. God she is so beautiful. That's when my work phone goes off. I answer it. "Killian, Anatoly might have been compromised," I over hear Nat say. "I know you're on your night off but he needs to be protected and be brought back to safety." I nod. "Where's he at?" "He left about 10 minutes ago from where you're at in a black Audi, I will send you the coordinates of his location." "Copy, I will go and get him to safety and I will be alone Sean is.." She laughs.
"I'm well aware that he's drunk, it's ok, let know when you've dropped him off." I nod. I take out my suitcase with my stuff and put on my utility belt. I then put a coat over it and walked to the parking lot. I got in the car and drove away. Damn I had forgotten about Nat, I know she's awesome but we can't be together and with Jen there is a possibility.
That's when I get the coordinates on my watch. 5 minutes later I arrived to the car. "Isn't the weather nice?" I say as I rolled down the window. "Ah yes perfect to drink a nice cold margarita." I nod and opened the door. "Thank you Agent Jones." I nod. "Of course anything for you sir." He nods. "Now take me back to your bosses." I nod. "With pleasure."
