The last thing that Margo Lebeux ever said to Killian James was,”I trust you.” She said that he held a knife to her throat. Her gaze was steady, trusting, and full of love. Love for him. His mission was to eliminate the threat, to eliminate her. Never once did he think that he’d love her and she’d love him in return.

3 months ago:

“Agent James. So glad you could make it.” Killian’s boss and handler greeted him as soon as he walked into the room.

“Well, I’d love to say I’m happy to be here but uh, I’m not. Look I just got back from a mission. Why am I here? YOU specifically told me that once I finished this last mission I’d be able to go on vacation. So. Why. Am. I. Here?” He demanded. His superior shared a look with someone else.

“Yes, well, this particular event changes things. There’s a woman.” He answered. Killian looked at him in disbelief.

“A woman?! What do you want me to to do be her bodyguard?” He asked.

“No, we want you to kill her. She’s a threat and dangerous one. It’s all need to know.” His boss stated.

“Yeah, no, that’s not going to work for me. I need you tell something else about her.” Killian demanded. They once again shared a look. A look he was familiar with. It was the look that they got whenever he was being particularly difficult.

“She’s… complicated.” The other man said. Killian leaned back gave him a deadpan look.

“How? And what event has caused this.” He ventured.

“She’s a very talented hacker. One of the best that we’ve ever seen. She’s just your type too.” Callahan told him.

“Oh? And just HOW exactly is she just my type?” He questioned snappishly.

“Take a look for yourself Agent.” Herron told him as he dropped a file onto the desk in front of Killian.

When Killian opened it, it showed a dark red haired, green eyed woman. She looked to be about 23-24 maybe he even 25. She was petite.

“I’m afraid I can’t take this one.” He warned.

“Why?” Callahan demanded.

“She’s my high school sweetheart.” Killian snapped then walked out of the room.
