Kimia's POV 🖤.
" Dam could you please help me with this?" I asked holding up my brush and comb.
" No!"
" Please?"
" Why did I tell you I could braid hair again?!"
" Because you hated seeing me frustrated."
" I am not braiding your hair again."
" Fine." I said. I went to his laptop and was about to put it on when he spoke.
" What are you doing?"
" Well since you don't want to help me, I thought that maybe Jason would like to chat."
He glared at me then moved to sit at the edge of the bed.
" Sit."
I grinned and sat at his feet.
" You know you have really thick yet really wavy hair."
" I know. I got the waviness from my dad and the thickness from my mum."
" Where was she from?"
" Actually, I don't know. All I know is that she was born in New York. But she said she had Persian roots so hence, the hair, my middle eastern features and my name."
" Your name?"
" Yeah."
" What does it mean?"
" It means elixir of life or alchemy. But in Persian literature it also means rare or unique. At least that's what my dad always said. He told me that Aubrey was originally my first name but when they found out about my heterochromia, my mum said my eye colour was unique so she changed my name to Kimia."
We sat in silence then his phone started ringing.
" Can you hold this?, I'm not done with it yet."
" Okay." I replied holding the braid.
" Thanks." He said as he picked the call.
" Hello?, Agent Daxon?"
" What is it?" I mouthed and he shrugged.
" Look we can't, you're gonna have to find other agents. We can't okay! We're meant to be on vacation!"
" Look we can't-"
" Cut the call. Tell him you'll call back." I mouthed.
" Look I'll call you back."
" Let's take it." I said once he had cut the call.
" Mia are you sure you're ready to go for another mission?"
" I'll be fine Damien. We'll take this mission.  But it will be our last. We have to focus on why we're here and that is Diego."
" Fine. I'll tell him."
" Good."
He called Agent Daxon again and accepted the mission stating that this would be our last one.
***
" I'm so glad you accepted this mission." Agent Daxon said as we entered the CIA building the next morning.
" This will be the last one we're taking." I stated.
" Yes I know. I am so sorry for bringing work up on your vacation."
" So what's up?" Damien asked.
" After you took down Mario, we brought him in for questioning and he revealed some very interesting things. One of which involves weapons." Agent Daxon said as he led us into a conference room. There was a lady already sitting there.
" Took you long enough." She muttered as she stood up.
" Agent Myers, Agent Kimi-" I shot him a glare and he cleared his throat.
" I mean Kim, this is Agent-"
" I have a mouth. I can introduce myself." The lady said cutting him off and Agent Daxon rolled his eyes.
" I'm Agent Tobi Johnson."
" Nice to meet you." Damien said shaking her hand.
" I'm Agent Damien Mye-"
" I know who you are. It's such an honour to meet you."
" And you must be Agent Reynolds. I didn't hear of you till I came to Havana. And from what I've heard you are a force to be reckoned with." She said and I smiled.
I like this girl.
" It's a pleasure meeting you." I said shaking her hand.
" The pleasure's all mine." She replied.
" I'm guessing you're Nigerian, your name is kind of a giveaway." I said.
She was about to speak when Agent Daxon cut her off.
" She's part Nigerian."
" Okay Daxon, I have a mouth!" Agent Johnson snapped.
Damien and I looked at each other with a knowing smile.
Something's up with these two.
" My dad is Nigerian but my mum is American. I grew up in America and I joined the FBI but I'm also in close contact with the agents in my country."
" So why are the CIA and FBI working together?" Damien asked as he sat down.
" Because the CIA had a lead on the mission the FBI was working on." Agent Daxon said smiling smugly and Agent Johnson rolled her eyes.
" You say it like you did it alone. If it wasn't for these two agents sitting here, you wouldn't have gotten a lead in the first place." She retorted.
Damien and I looked at at each other with a knowing smile again.
Something is definitely up with these two.
" Can we just do the briefing?!" Agent Daxon exclaimed throwing his hands up in frustration.
" I wasn't stopping you!"
Agent Daxon said and put on the holographic screen.
" Wyatt Quincy. Age: 48. Nationality: American. Height: 5'9. He is a world renowned smuggler." He said as the hologram of a man was displayed.
" He has smugglers all over the world. Drugs, weapons, women, children. You name it, he supplies it."
" He has been supplying weapons to some militants in different countries. The US and Nigeria included. These are dangerous weapons that can cause massive destruction. But he has never been caught, why? Because he has the backing of some really powerful people." Agent Johnson said.
" So you want to take him and those powerful people down?" I mused.
" Yes. If we can get the list of these people I'm positive that we'll be able to get them." Agent Daxon assured.
" So where do Mia and I come in?" Damien asked.
" Wyatt is here. In Havana. But he leaves tomorrow morning. Very early tomorrow morning. But he booked a reservation at the El Salvador for tonight." Agent Johnson said.
" El Salvador is a high class restaurant in Havana. It is also a place regularly visited by the elites in Havana-"
" So there's a probability that Wyatt is going to make a trade or visit one of his sponsors." Damien said and they nodded.
" So you want us to go undercover like we did with Lorenzo?" I asked.
" Kind of. Lorenzo Gustavo was a lone wolf. Wyatt, is more powerful and he has more connections. The restaurant is probably going to be crawling with his men. So we are going to be having other agents undercover too. We were able to hack into the restaurant's online reservation and cancel the reservation of civilians and replaced them with agents. The less people that get hurt the better it will be."
" What time is the mission starting?" I asked.
" We have a reservation for 8:15pm."
" Fine."

I took a nap a the instant we got back home.
I woke up around 5:30pm and went downstairs.
" Hey sleepyhead." Damien greeted chuckling and I flipped him off.
" So I called Carlos." He said and I froze.
" You what?" I asked calmly.
" Okay Mia, before you kill me just listen." He said and I narrowed my eyes.
" I called Carlos and told him that you needed a dress for the mission. He wanted to come over but I told him it wasn't necessary. So he sent your dress and shoes and also Agent Johnson's." He said pointing to the dress bags and shoe boxes.
" See?, Dress and shoes no Carlos!"
" Wait did you just say Agent Johnson's dress?"
" Yeah, they'll be coming over. And we'll be going to the restaurant together. Now come give me a kiss."
I picked up the dress bags and shoe boxes and walked up the stairs leading him pouting.
I opened the bag that had my name on it and saw a note from Carlos
Dear Kimia,
Agent Myers told me you needed a dress for this mission so I got you this. It's custom made just for you! I hope you like it. It's sexy, alluring and dangerous. Just like you. It's a jumpsuit short with a detachable skirt so you can fight easily if it comes to that. The heels are also detachable so you don't have to worry about twisting you ankle while fighting.
The diamond earrings are not only accessories but weapons too. They are laser earrings and can cut through any object. You can also store your weapons in the clutch. It will prevent the metal detector from going off when you pass through. I really hope you love it!
Muah!
Love Carlos.
I removed the dress from bag and was stunned. It was absolutely beautiful. It had shorts inside just like Carlos said. The front had a deep v-neck plunge and was held together by ropes that were criss crossed at the back.
The heels were strappy and were a beautiful nude colour.
" Now that, is beautiful." Agent Johnson said as she entered the room.
" I love Carlos." I replied touching the tulle skirt of the dress.
