Kimia's POV 🖤.
" Mia!" Damien yelled.
" I'm coming!" I replied placing the pie into the oven.
" You don't have to yell you know. The kitchen is not that far away from you."
" I'm sorry." He mumbled giving me a chaste kiss on my lips.
" So, update?" I asked flopping onto the couch.
We've spent the last three days indoors letting our bodies rest from the injuries we sustained on the last mission.
" Kind of. Alessandro and his men are being held at the Interpol's headquarters in Havana. Rumour has it that there's a shipment of Fentanyl and it's-"
" Wait!, Did you just say Fentanyl?"
" Yeah, do you know anything about it?"
" Not much but I know that stuff is deadly. There was this inmate. She and her partner were smuggling high dosages of Fentanyl from Malaysia. Her partner tried to swallow them, in a bid to get rid of the evidence but she wouldn't do it and they got caught.
Within 15 minutes, her partner was dead. Turns out they weren't smuggling medical Fentanyl in high dosages, they were smuggling Fentanyl mixed with heroin in high dosages."
" Woah!"
" Woah indeed."
" Okay so we know that there's a shipment of Fentanyl coming in but we don't know where it's going exactly. Since our only link to Diego and Fransisco right now is Alessandro, we interrogated him but apparently he knows nothing.
He said he only deals with Cocaine and Morphine. He claims Mixed Fentanyl is too expensive for him to deal."
" Okay, so where do we come in?"
" Well, Alessandro's men have not been interrogated so the agents at Interpol invited me over and I thought that maybe you'd want to tag along."
" Okay."
" Who knows maybe you'll get them to talk since you're a-"
" Criminal?!"
" I was gonna say psychologist but I guess that works too." He said shrugging and I glared at him.
***
" Agent Myers I'm so glad you could make it." An agent greeted once we were inside the building.
" We're so sorry for disturbing while you're on vacation."
Vacation?!
" It's nothing." Damien assured.
" Agent Valdez, this is my girlfriend Kimia Reynolds. She's a top psychologist that works with the CIA."
Top psychologist?!
CIA?!
He called me his girlfriend,
hmm I like it.
" Nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand.
" The pleasure's all mine." He replied smiling.
" Okay, so where are they?" Damien asked discreetly pulling me closer.
Jealous much?
" Right this way."
" Vacation?!, Top psychologist?!, CIA?!" I whisper yelled at Damien.
" Our mission is classified. So other agents think we're on vacation." He explained and I huffed.
" So can you tell us more about Fentanyl?" Damien asked Agent Valdez.
" Fentanyl is a powerful Opioid that was once used in hospitals as prescribed medication. It was used to treat moderate to severe pain and was once used as an anaesthetic in the 30's.
Despite it's medical use, it has since been synthetically manufactured had taken different forms. The end result is a dangerous analgesic that can be snorted, injected, swallowed or blotted on paper. The shipment of Fentanyl coming in is mixed with Cocaine and Morphine making it extremely lethal."
He led us towards the interrogation room and there he introduced us to the agent that was in charge of the interrogation.
" Agent Conner, I'm sure you know Agent Myers. This is his girlfriend and a CIA top psychologist, Kimia."
" Kim is just fine." I added.
Agent Conner looked at me skeptically and I raised an eyebrow.
" Sexist much?"
" I'm sorry what?!, I didn't say anything."
" Yeah but you thought it. Is it so hard to believe that I'm a top psychologist in the CIA?" I asked and he kept quiet.
" Listen, I didn't buy my way in nor did I sleep my way in. I am at the top because I'm so darn good at my job. I might be young, and I might not have a lot of experience but I know what I'm doing."
" I apologize." He said and I smiled.
" I'm sorry about that Kim." Agent Valdez said.
" It's fine."
" You're enjoying this way too much." Damien muttered and I smirked.
" This is the list that contains information about Alessandro's men and their rankings." Agent Conner said handing me the list.
Good boy!
" Okay, so we'll start with his second in command, Nelenai." Damien said scanning the list.
" No. We'll start with this guy. I said pointing to the last guy on the list.
" With all due respect." Agent Conner started.
' I think he's learnt his lesson.' I thought to myself.
" He's just a driver. We were considering not interrogating him at all."
" You'd be surprised by how much information you can get out of him." I replied and he nodded.
" Okay so we'll start with him." Damien finalised.
We entered the room to see the driver with his head in his hands.
" I know that guy!, That's the guy that punched me in the face!" I whisper yelled and Damien chuckled.
" I swear I don't know anything about drugs. I'm just the driver. All I do is drive Mr Alessandro around."
" Clearly you're just a rookie. You can't even punch properly. Although you did manage to give me this." I said pointing to the fading bruise on my jaw.
He winced and sighed.
" I'm sorry about that. If I didn't do it I'd have been killed. I swear if I knew you'd be able to take Mr Alessandro down I wouldn't have done it."
" It's okay, no hard feelings." I said sitting on the chair in front of him.
" Yeah!, After you punched the living daylight out of him." Damien added and I glared.
" So, what's your story?" I asked propping my feet on the table.
" Mia we have a time limit." Damien warned and I rolled my eyes.
" Would you let me do my job in peace?!, I know what I'm doing. I'm a top CIA psychologist remember?"
" It's just a cover." I heard him mumble but I brushed him off.
" How did you get involved in all this?" I asked Rinaldi.
" I had to. I really need the money."
" How old are you?"
" 17. I'm gonna be 18 this year."
" Parents?"
" Dead."
" Foster care system?"
" Not exactly. When I was 10 my mother died. And my father remarried. He-"
" Ahh." I sighed.
" The evil step mother."
" No!"
" No?!"
" Marcia was great. She treated me like her own son. But her family were the evil ones. Marcia was an orphan and her relatives were the ones who raised her. They didn't want her to marry my dad but she went against their wishes and married him anyway.
She had a girl for my dad. Isabella, that's her name. My little sister's name. Marcia and my dad died in a car crash and Marcia's relatives got custody of us.
Turns out that Marcia's parents left her a huge fortune that can only be unlocked by Marcia or her children. They were planning to use Isabella but they knew they had to get rid of me first."
" What did they do?" Damien asked curiously and I smirked.
I thought we had a deadline.
" They hired some people to kidnap me and take me far away from them or kill me. One of my captors took pity on me and introduced me to Nelenai who then introduced me to Mr Alessandro. That's how I ended up in Havana working for Mr Alessandro."
" So what do you need the money for?"
" I was hoping with enough money, I'd be able to hire a good lawyer and try to get custody of my sister once I'm 18." He replied and I nodded.
Agent Valdez walked in accompanied by Agent Conner.
" There's no need to continue with the interrogation, Nelenai already spilled." Agent Conner said sending me a smug look.
Bastard.
" So where's the shipment headed?" Damien asked.
" An abandoned warehouse at the outskirts of town. We're sending our agents there now. Thank you for your time." Agent Valdez said then he walked out with Agent Conner in tow.
" Wait shipment?!" Rinaldi exclaimed.
" I thought you don't know anything about drugs?" Damien asked.
" I don't. But, last week when I drove Mr Alessandro to his usual bar I heard some people talking about a shipment. Of Fenti, no not Fenti. Fena- I can't remember the name."
" Fentanyl." I said and he nodded.
" Yes, that's the one."
" Did you hear anything about the location?" I asked curiously.
" They already found it." Damien replied walking towards me.
" I don't think it's at the warehouse."
" It's not a warehouse." Rinaldi replied.
" They said something about a hilaspot. Or was it hilatops?, Wait I think it was stophila. I'm sorry I don't really remember what they said."
Hilaspot.
Hilatops.
Stophila.
They all have the same letters kind of like an-
Anagram!
" Damien do you have a pen?" I asked frantically.
He gave me a pen and a small piece of paper and I got to work.
Stophila.
Hopstila.
Hospital!
" The hospital!, The shipment is headed for the hospital."
" Are you sure?, That's a very unlikely place."
" And the more reason why they would take it there. Come on."
" Thanks Rinaldi!" I exclaimed as we walked out of the room.
" Agent Valdez, your agents are on a wild goose chase. The shipment is headed for the hospital." I said breathing heavily.
" Are you sure?-"
" 100 percent." Damien replied and Agent Valdez sighed.
" Which hospital?"
" What's the largest hospital in Havana?"
" Hermanos Ameijeiras hospital." Agent Valdez replied.
" Then that's where they're headed."
" There are no available agents. The agents I sent to the warehouse can't get there fast enough!, They're at the other side of town. Agent Myers, Kim you'll have to go stall them until the agents at the warehouse get there."
" What do you say?" Damien asked looking down at me.
" I always wanted to know how I'd look in scrubs so hell yeah!"
I'm so gonna enjoy this.
