*Huff* *Huff*
I huffed tiredly as I ducked into an alley.
"Where did I go wrong?" I asked rhetorically as I brushed my white bangs from my blue eyes.
*Flashback*
"Wait! You mean I am going undercover to one of the most dangerous mafia gangs in the world?!" I asked not believing my ears.
"Yes, you are. We think you are quite suitable for this, plus you want to become one of the best FBI agent, right?" The FBI director asked raising an eyebrow.
"I do but I don't think I am ready for that kind of mission yet" I said furrowing my eyebrows.
My name is Carly Simon, I am working as an FBI agent and am currently with the director.
He asked me to go undercover to Zyle Mafia gang which is one of the most dangerous mafia gangs. I could easily get killed if I am discovered, I haven't achieved many things in life yet and am not ready to leave my parents.
"You should just accept it, there is no way to agrue. You will do well since you are unknown to them yet skilled. I believe in you" He said patting my shoulder.
There was nothing I could do except to resign to my fate and follow his orders.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sighed as I entered my office and slumped into the chair.
The door opened to show my bestfriend, Kyle.
"What happened Carly?" He asked coming towards me.
Kyle has been my bestfriend even before I joined the agency and we are as close as two peas in a pod.
I sighed again in annoyance as I faced him.
"Can you believe the director gave me the most dangerous job I could ever do?!" I asked exasperatedly.
He chuckled in amusement as his eyes lit up with humour.
Kyle is really handsome but I will never admit that to his face, with his wild black hair and his mischievous grey eyes, his charm attracts ladies to him like bees to honey. He is quite a ladies man and also good with kids, after all, he takes care of his 10 years old little sister by himself since his parents died 3 years ago.
"Well, you decided to join the agency, did you expect it to be easy?" He asked as he took a chair and sat down next to me.
"I know but I still don't want such a dangerous and time consuming mission this early. I have only been working here for 2 years, won't they allow me to live for some time?" I asked tiredly as I laid my hand on the table.
He laughed a little more as he played with my hair, he always liked messing my hair since we were little.
"Don't worry, it will be alright and you will come back alive. Also, you still didn't tell me which mission they gave you" He said with an amused tone.
"Oh right! I am supposed to get Zyle's mafia boss"
He furrowed his brows in concern and his expression got serious.
"That is a very dangerous mission, why would they give you a tough one like that?" He asked concerned, all traces of amusement gone.
"They thought I will be the least likely to be exposed. I have already agreed to it so there is no way out" I said before he could suggest for me to decline.
Since he couldn't change my mind, he gave up and cautioned me sternly before leaving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am now standing in front of the Zyle's mafia boss, Zyle. He is just in his late twenties yet he established one of the most powerful mafia gang named after himself.
I used the cover of wanting to join the gang to enter but it seems like Zyle liked my appearance cause he called me to meet him personally.
"You are good enough, I will give you the pleasure of warming my bed" He said with a smirk.
'Digusting' I thought irritated.
Even if he is handsome with his fiery red hair and gold eyes, for him to bring a woman he just met to his bed means he is the lowest of the low.
"Sorry sir but I didn't come to join this gang to become your side chick, I came here to actually work and earn my place" I said as politely as I could since I couldn't risk him getting angry and directly killing me.
To my surprise, he laughed at me.
"Good, good, you are different from those other girls" He said, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
For some reason, he started teasing me and always said he loved me, I didn't even bother with his antics because I have a mission to complete and I can't risk it by getting close to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been 2 months now since I have been undercover, the agency still hadn't got a perfect time to capture him so I am still here.
Zyle called me into his office and his tone sounded off, I just shrugged my suspicions off and went there.
"Why did you have to do this Carly Simon?" He asked with a slightly sad tone, you wouldn't catch the sadness if you aren't paying close attention.
I froze in shock, I was using a fake name and for him to call me by my real name means I was exposed.
Before I knew it, guns were already pointed at me as several other guards entered the room.
I don't even remember how I escaped but I got several wounds on my body before I managed to get a car and drove quickly towards my parent's home.
I ditched the vehicle on my way since I didn't want them to find me with it and that's what led me to this point.
*Flashback ends*
What I still don't understand is what or who tipped Zyle off about me.
I stumbled home and entered to meet the shocked faces of my parents.
"Hey, nice to see both of you after 2 months but I am going to my room now" I said quickly before making my way towards my room.
In my room, I took the first aid kit, removed the bullets from the wounds and bandaged my wounds.
My door opened and I immediately reached for my gun before relaxing after seeing it was just my parents.
I should relax, they shouldn't know my parents' house since I never wrote it down in my file at the agency.
Mom was holding a cup of warm tea and gave it to me.
"Drink up, you still need some energy. See how battered you are" She said sadly as she gave me the tea.
"Thanks mom" I smiled at her as I quickly drank it before looking up to see my parents' guilt-ricken faces.
"What did you do?" I asked as the cup fell from my hands and I started getting drowsy.
"We are sorry, we just don't want you to die. He promised you can still live if we bring you to him" They said crying before I completely blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I opened my eyes and looked around to find that I was in an empty room, bound to a chair.
The door opened (which has been happening a lot) and Zyle came in with... Kyle!
That explains a lot, Kyle must have ratted me out and told them my parent's house.
"Kyle, how can you do this? I thought we were friends" I said angrily but calmly.
Kyle looked away guilty and sighed.
"I am sorry but he has my sister and you know she is the only one I have left" He said, his voice almost breaking.
I understood what he felt since his parents are dead and he only has his little sister, but he still shouldn't have betrayed me like that.
"Now now, you can't just ignore me Carly, did you miss me?" Zyle asked teasingly as he walked towards me.
"Why would I miss you? You brain- washed my parents. As if you would ever let me live" I said scoffing in disbelief.
He grabbed my face and made me look towards him as he smirked.
"Do not be mistaken, you will live but whether you remain sane and intact is another thing entirely" He said with this creepy smirk.
Fear gripped me but I managed to maintain a calm farce.
"Let's see how long it takes for you to break" He continued with an eerily smile.
