Damien's POV ♣️
I helped Nina load her bags into the taxi that would be taking them to the airport.
" We're gonna miss you guy." Kimia said hugging each one of them.
" We'll miss you too." Marcella replied.
Kimia went inside to grab something leaving me with the ladies.
" Have you told her?" Nina asked and I shook my head.
" So do they know?" I asked Nina.
" Only parts of it, I need to your permission to told them to rest."
" Well, you have my permission." I replied and she give them a brief explanation of what I had told her yesterday and ladies listened attentively.
Kimia was still not back and I was starting to wonder what she went inside to pick.
" You have to tell her." Faye said.
" Ian, Amelia has obviously been through a lot already. Heartbreak isn't something she should experience." Olie reasoned.
" If you don't tell her now, you'll keep pushing it forward until it's too late." Marcella said.
" It's better you tell her now than telling her later. The longer you keep it from her, the more painful it will be when she finds out." Rhia explained.
" Tell her the truth." Nina whispered holding my hand."
" Sorry I took so long, I had to use the bathroom." Kimia said coming out of the house.
" We should get going, we don't want to miss our flight." Rhia said smiling and they made their way into the car.
" Bye!" They yelled as they drove off.
" Bye!" We replied waving at them.
When the car was finally out of sight, we went in.
" Finally!" Kimia groaned flopping onto the couch.
" I feel less guilty about lying to them now that they're gone." She said and I chuckled.
" So what do we do now?"
" Well, I got Fransisco's number from Nina and-"
" Great!, So let's go bust him."
" That's not how it works Mia. We need concrete evidence against him."
" Okay so we'll call him and have him invite us over to his house and search for evidence. Boom!, Problem solved." She said and I rolled my eyes.
" Mia this entire mission is about mind games. I thought you would know all these, after all you're a psychologist." I mused and she glared at me.
" Look, Fransisco knows he's mother doesn't trust him. And he knows that she must have told us about him probably warning us to be careful. So it's gonna be suspicious if we call him just after his mother left Havana. So we have to make it seem like we're only calling him because he's our last resort."
" So we take our time and only call him when it seems like we're bored out of our minds."
" Exactly."
" So what are we going to do till then?" She asked curiously and I smiled.
" Well, once we get an invite to Fransisco's house, he'll probably be watching over. If not him, his men. So we have to create a couple distractions."
" So we foil his plans?"
" Yes. We have a couple of agents here in Havana working undercover to bust some drug rings so by helping them we're indirectly distracting Fransisco." I explained and she nodded.
" So when do we start?"
" Today."
" And you're just telling me all this now?!" She exclaimed and I smiled sheepishly.
" You have to be ready before 3pm."
" And why is that?"
" Because we, are going on our very first lunch date."
" You mean mission."
" We're still going on a date." I said defensively and she rolled her eyes.
" So, what's this mission about?"
" One of our undercover agents got some very valuable information about a drug lord. But, there was no way he could communicate with us without them getting suspicious so he had to send the flash drive containing the information through a waiter at a restaurant.
But apparently, the drug lord found out about the waiter turning in the flash drive and now he wants him dead."
" So our mission is to get the waiter to safety?"
" Yes."

" Mia!"
" You don't have to yell, I'm already here." She replied. I looked up and saw her at the top of the stairs. I wolf whistled and she rolled her eyes.
She wore a red sundress with white polka dots and white accessories. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail and her lips were painted the same shade of red she was wearing.
I pulled her into my arms as soon as her foot touched the last step but she pulled back.
" I am not going to let you ruin this lipstick before it even gets to see the sun." She stated and I groaned.

We got to the restaurant and we were directed to our table.
" They're here." I whispered to Kimia as the drug lord and his goons walked in.
" Where?"
" 6 o'clock." I replied. She took out her compact powder and looked at them through the mirror.
" Hola!" The waitress attending to us asked.
" Hola!, Tú hablas inglés?" I asked and she nodded.
" Hello and welcome to Juan's. Would you like to order now or should I give you some more time?" The waitress that attended to us asked.
" Actually, my fiancé and I came here a few days ago and there was this waiter that attended to us and he was so funny. What was his name again honey?"
" Sanchez." I replied.
" That's a first." The waitress muttered under her breath.
" Yeah I can't believe I forgot his name. So I was wondering if Sanchez could you know, attend to us?"
" Sure I guess so." The waitress replied skeptically.
" Thank you so much. And by the way, you're doing a wonderful job." Kimia said grinning at her. That simple gesture seemed to clear every doubt the waitress had about us.
" How do you do it?" I asked looking at Kimia intently once the waitress left.
" Do what?"
" How do you make people trust you so easily?"
" A psychologist never reveals her secrets." She replied smirking.
Sanchez came to our table a few minutes later and he smiled nervously.
" Sanchez how are you?!" Kimia asked sweetly and he gulped.
" Hello Sanchez I'm agent Damien Myers and I'm here to get you to safety." I whispered smiling.
" How how do you I know you're not the ones trying to kill me?" He asked smiling nervously.
" It's either you trust us or those guys over there." Kimia retorted nodding her head towards the table of the drug lord.
" Okay, I believe you."
" Good, do you have the flash drive?" I asked and he nodded.
" Okay, I want you to take our order and then discreetly hand it over to Mia once you bring our food. Once you're done I want you to tell your manager you're not feeling too well and ask him for the rest of the day of the. Then wait for us in the alley near the parking lot." I said and he nodded.
Kimia and I finished our meal then went to the alley where Sanchez was waiting for us.
" Am I gonna die?" Sanchez asked obviously agitated.
" No you're not." Kimia replied.
" I just wish we could get our hands on the menu he used for fingerprints. Maybe they'll match the ones we found on the documents in New York and we'll be able to bring him in."
" Not the menu. It probably has tons of fingerprints on it already. I have a better idea."
***
" Oh My God!, Ian it's him!, Are you Dwayne Johnson?!" Kimia exclaimed walking up to the drug lord. His goons wanted to attack but he called them off.
" Who is Dwayne Johnson?" He asked with his heavy Cuban accent.
" He's like one of the best actors ever. See!" She said showing him a picture of Dwayne Johnson on her phone.
" You think I look like him?"
" Yeah!, I mean look at these muscles." She said touching his biceps and he smirked.
" Can I get an autograph?!, Oh and a picture too?!"
" But I'm not-"
" I know that, you know that but my friends on Facebook won't know that." She mused and then started rambling.
" Okay! Okay!, Fine." He exclaimed.
" Turista molesta." He muttered under his breath but I heard him.
" Okay sign here." Kimia said bringing out a pen and pointed to where she wanted him to sign on her black journal.
" Thank you. Ian come on take a picture of us together."
I took my phone out and took a couple pictures.
" Thank you so much. Bye!" Kimia said pulling me away. When we were back to the alley she sighed.
" Get her!, She has my wallet!" I heard the drug lord yell a couple minutes later and I looked at Kimia with wide eyes.
" What?!, You wanted finger prints."
" We had the pen Mia!, His prints were already on the pen!" I whisper yelled.
" Ooops my bad." She said and I sighed.
" Okay we just have to hide here until the coast is-"
I was cut off by the obnoxiously loud ringing of a phone. Sanchez took his phone out and switched it off.
" You couldn't have done that before your phone gave away our hiding spot?!"
" How was I supposed to know, this is my first mission?!"
" Mission?!" Kimia and I asked.
" Yeah, I'm gonna be a spy. The guy who gave me the flash said so." He said and Kimia snorted.
We stayed there since we hadn't been discovered and Sanchez kept on rambling about spy school.
Idiot!
" If you don't shut up I swear to God I will hand you over to them." Kimia said.
" You can't do that. You probably have orders to get me to safety."
" Yeah but they never said in one piece!" Kimia retorted and that shut him up pretty quickly.
I heard a gun shot and looked at Kimia.
" There's only one way out of here." I said and she nodded.
I brought out my gun and Kimia brought out her dagger holster from her purse and strapped it onto her thighs.
" Who brings a knife to a gun fight?!" Sanchez exclaimed.
" The same person who's gonna chop off your fingers if you don't shut up!" I exclaimed.
It's time to kick ass.
