CHAPTER 37
Zach entered The Legacy Stadium the following day along with his fifteen agents that he had personally picked from his office together with Mark, Gavin, and Alex. They will be teamed up together with the police force, SWAT, and the congressman’s security team.
They will all be meeting today at the stadium to do ocular inspection, pointing out all entry and exit points, possible emergency evacuation of the congressman and the location of posts that they will be manning.
His eyes travelled to Alex, who walked quietly a few steps ahead of him. Ever since she came back from the three-week leave that the director had granted her, she became even more hostile and downright unpleasant when she deals with him. She would show the respect that he earns for being her superior, but that was all there is.
Zach could still not fully understand his reaction towards her. He had admitted to himself that same day his attraction to Alex. Ever since he had met her at the dine

Alex is toying with her dinner that night while listening to Ashley and Malcolm talking in front of her when she heard the door opened. She managed to glance up and a frown appeared on her face when she saw Zach entering the establishment, looking at her. “Hey, man,” Malcolm greeted casually when he noticed Alex looking towards the door and turned as well. “What the heck are you doing here? Is Jacinta with you?” “I need to talk to you,” Zach said to Alex seriously. Malcolm and Ashley stared at Alex in surprise at what Zach said. “Could you help me at the counter?” Ashley said to Malcolm softly. She looked up and smiled at Zach. “Is there anything that I can get you, Mr. Montgomery? Beer?” Zach nodded. “Thanks,” he stated. The minute Malcolm had wheeled off Ashley, Alex then stood up from her chair. Zach automatically grabbed her wrist and pushed her back down on her seat, glaring at her hardly. “We’re going to talk,” he

Zach stared infuriatingly at Damon’s back as they prepped themselves inside one holding room.It was the day of the congressman’s event at The Legacy Stadium and the whole security and monitoring team and preparing hours before the crowd will start coming in.“What’s making you look surly?” Malcolm muttered to him darkly, his eyes as well directed towards Damon’s back, who seemed unaware of the men throwing him some dirty looks. He gave Zach a look. “Does your girlfriend had an inkling that you have the hots for your subordinate?”Zach turned and looked at Malcolm evenly.“Does her sister even know how you felt, Johnson?” He spat.The two only gave each other hard looks before resuming in getting themselves ready. With Damon introduced to Ashley that night, he seemed to have used it to his advantage in inviting himself to the diner for the next few nights according to what Malcolm had rela

Alex lowered the binoculars that was given to her during preparation after thoroughly checking the crowd for any other suspicious persons that needs to be escorted out. So far, the team she had been assigned to had pointed out fifteen persons and more than half of them had been ushered out of the premises after verification of their condition.The event had started twenty minutes ago, and she watched at the projected screen a popular group of local musicians doing a lively performance and engaging the crowd to join them. Despite the performers appeal to the audience, the security team had the bouncers upfront hold tight on the steel barricade.Zach’s face was shown on the screen for a few minutes, looking serious as he looks at the crowd intently and then turning back to check on the congressman at the stage.She shook her head at the thought that had crossed her mind.Over the course of her working in the bureau under him, Alex in some way had deve

Zach headed towards his car at the parking lot, following behind Malcolm, who is talking on the phone with Ashley. He took out his car keys and pressed the button for his car to unlock when he suddenly heard a car screeched ahead of them.“W-What the -?!” He exclaimed when the car stopped haphazardly and to his surprise Damon got out of the car and was rushing towards the motorcycle parking area. “What the f8ck is he up to?”However, he also rushed after Damon, shouting at Malcolm especially when he saw a look of terror on the man’s face. Damon had also had his gun out as well as his rifle when he went out of the car, jamming the magazine hurriedly.“Something’s up,” Zach said to Malcolm as both had their guns ready as well.Three gunshots were fired and filled the empty parking lot and Zach cursed out loud as he and Malcolm rushed to the direction that Damon had went to. The minute they arrived at the scene

Alex opened her eyes and stayed quiet, adjusting to the hospital room surroundings. She heard the voice of her aunt and sister right by outside the room, probably at the doorway, and then to her surprise, the familiar voice of Zach. He was assuring her sister that he’s going to get to the bottom of what had transpired a while ago.“Malcolm called you as told by Damon,” Zach explained to Ashley gently. “I think in a way he knows that you will get hysterical if it will be the hospital calling. That’s the reason I see why he asked.”“Because Alex knows and I guess, so does Damon that Malcolm will fabricate the story a little bit so me and Aunt Vicky wouldn’t worry too much,” Ashley answered bitingly. She let out a frustrating sigh. “She never wants us to fret about her. She’d rather be the one worrying over us.”Alex closed her eyes and admitted that her sister is definitely right. She had alwa

Zach gripped the steering wheel calmly the following day and stole a glance at Alex, who is sitting on the passenger seat and quietly dozing off as he drove towards the diner to drop her home.After Jacinta parted from him to attend a board meeting, Zach then went towards the seventh floor, where Alex has been admitted. The minute he stepped foot inside her room, he stopped and balked at the sight he saw.Alex was sitting on her bed, facing the wall behind the bed while a wound care specialist and two OJT nurses are treating the scars on her back. She was hissing loudly in pain and when she managed to turn and saw him, her eyes narrowed.“Thanks,” she said to the specialist and nurses after the treatment.“No bras for now while your wound is still healing, Ms. Walters,” the specialist advised gently. “I remembered giving you that same advice a few years ago.”“I still have those stick-on bras and I think As

Alex made another run through the report she just typed inside her room, Monday the following week, reading carefully. Over the weekend, Alex kept herself in her room, doing two reports over the incident that she was involved in. One for the CIA, where all the details had been mentioned clearly and the one for the FBI, where some information were omitted, like the appearance of Saood. She only mentioned the description of the man involved as well as the two guards and the stadium guard that she was able to shoot before her gun was taken from her.She frowned when she realized upon reviewing that the two are a bit way off from each other. After carefully back reading the details, she finally decided to revise the entire report that she will be submitting to Montgomery.She slowly leaned back on her chair where she had propped a pillow to prevent any pain on her back and touched her lips gently. The mere thought of the man suddenly made her skin tingle and the hair behin

Alex pulled away and looked up at the man she had called her father. The man she had grown up with, adored and idolized. Ever since she learned how to hold a gun, she swore that she’s going to be like him when she grows up.Edward Bishop smiled down at her, patting her on the head.“You look well,” he commented in relief.She nodded as she finally followed him inside the apartment. She stared at the back of the man; she had been secretly going to for the past four years. The man she had watched on a live feed being killed while she was tortured in an underground basement in Middle East.The man who called her up, the minute she got out of the hospital upon returning home to tell him that he’s alive. The man who asked her to stage an accident for her mom, to make the enemy believe she is also dead.The only thing that they didn’t count on was for Ashley, deciding at the last minute to accompany her.The J.A.K.E.,
