Chapter 20 - discovering the truth

[Year 2010 - Black Watch HQ]

Zack walks into the office, and at the door, Agent 47 greets him. Zack looks confused, ignores Agent 47, and walks into his office, turning on his phone.

Agent 47: Hello there, Zack...

Agent 47 says as he walks into Zack's office.

Zack turns around and aims the gun at Agent 47.

Zack: I guess Agent 0 and Agent 9 were idiots and didn't finish you off.

Agent 47: Oh, they did something much better...

Zack looks even more confused.

Agent 47: Call Mil, she'll explain it all.

Zack picks up his phone and calls Amila.

Amila answers the phone with a casual tone, not expecting the anger in Zack's voice.

Amila: Yo, what's up, Zack?

Zack, speaking angrily: You brainwashed him?!?

Amila: Hey, relax.

Zack: No, don't "hey relax" me! Agent 47 was almost on to us.

Amila: Well, now he's working for us.

Zack: I ordered Agent 9 and Agent 0 to kill Agent 47!

Amila: And Emily ordered your minions to bring him to her for brainwashing.

Zack: Emily? Are you kidding me?! I will call her right now!

Amila: No, you won't.

Zack: Really? And why is that?

Amila: Because she retired. Agent 47 was her last project.

Zack: Oh, I don't give a damn.

Amila: Are you sure about that? Because if I were you, I wouldn't want to deal with "Max."

Zack: How the hell...?

Amila: Courtesy of Emily.

Zack: You...!

Amila interrupts him.

Amila: Play nice, Zack. We're on the same side now, remember? And we have bigger things to worry about.

Amila hangs up the phone.

[2024]

Amila: You will never find the answer.

Lia: I might not, not if I pull this trigger. lia takes her gun and hits amila in the head knocking her out cold.

We cut to the safe house Lia is using.

As White Hat greets Lia, he sees she brought Amila tied up.

White Hat: "You tied up the head of BLACK WATCH DI (digital intelligence) AND BROUGHT HER HERE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!"

Lia: "She works for Agent 47."

Amila starts waking up.

Amila: "Where am I...? My head..."

Lia ties her to a pole in the safe house.

White Hat: "We need to deal with this."

Lia: "Well, what do we do with her"

Amila: "I'm right here, you know that, right?"

Lia: "Shut up."

White Hat: "Lia, calm down..."

Lia: "No, my boss works for Agent 47. Who knows how deep this goes?"

White Hat: "Go get some air, you're too stressed."

Lia walks out of the safe house.

White Hat rushes to Amila.

Amila: "What are you doing?"

White Hat: "You really think you were the only agent sent to monitor Lia Carter?"

Amila: "You!? You work for S.H.A.D.E?"

White Hat: "No time to waste. I bought us some time, not a lot."

White Hat unties her and brings her to a van parked nearby and starts driving.

Amila: "You can't drive! You're... what? 17, 16?"

White Hat: "Do you want to talk about my age or tell me where we're going? I don't have any safe houses nearby. The one we were in is the only one the agency gave me, and Lia figured out where it was, so I told her it was a Black Watch site."

Amila: "I have a safe house not far from here."

White Hat: "Address?"

Amila: "38 Wood Circle, NY 10002."

White Hat: "Good, that's what we needed to hear."

Amila: "What do you mea..."

Before Amila finishes her sentence, she feels the cold sensation of a gun barrel at the back of her head.

Lia: "Don't move."

White Hat: "Well, well, well... that was easy, wasn't it?"

Lia: well.. i mean i did have to pull a gun on her in public to get her here but yea

Amila (in her mind) : SHIT how did i fall for this.. there was no way S.H.A.D.E hired a 17-year-old, how stupid am I...

White Hat: well, knock her out, we need to get to that safe house, maybe we get some more info about S.H.A.D.E and about Agent 47's location

Amila: No! wait!

Before Amila could argue, she was knocked out cold again.

[Cut to a safe house where Amila is tied to a chair]

Amila starts waking up: where am I...

Lia: don't try anything dumb, you're tied up, and if you try to escape, I will shoot you.

Amila: then why didn't you already?

Lia: because we need information

Amila: we? It's only you here, where did your "boyfriend" go?

Lia: you know more than well, White Hat and I are just good friends

Amila: sure... , what kind of information?

Lia: why were you talking to Agent 47?

Amila: wouldn't you like to know

Lia: is Agent 47 the head of S.H.A.D.E?

Amila stays silent

Lia: but then again you said you don't work for him

Amila doesn't talk and just looks into her eyes

Lia: why am I the key to all of this... why were you assigned to watch me?

Lia: what did agent 47 mean when he said "keep the sister at arm's length"

Lia: fine don't talk

Lia walks out of the room where Amila is kept and calls White Hat

Lia [over the phone]: did you find anything in her safe house?

White Hat: no.. not really

Lia: dammit I can't break her here either

White Hat: well at least we removed a mole from Black Watch

Lia: without evidence, they will investigate her disappearance, and we can't bring her back to the agency without proof

White Hat: we have proof

Lia: you really think the director isn't gonna ask how we got this "proof"

[Flashback to the year 2022 - 2 months after the terrorist attack]

Lia's house

Lia: What do we do now?

White Hat: We gather information, piece together the puzzle, and find the truth. But we need to be careful. If there is a mole in Black Watch, no one can know

Lia looks at White Hat, determination burning in her eyes.

Lia: I'm not backing down. Not until I find out the truth and bring justice to my family.

White Hat: listen, I installed a bug into the mainframe to look into some more evidence on Agent 5 and Agent 87, maybe we find something that proves they are moles

Lia: what?!? but we already have proof

White Hat: the evidence that they were near your house when the bomb exploded isn't enough, we need to find hard evidence

Lia: right, and you think that the director isn't gonna punish you for planting a bug on the main server?

White Hat: you tried to hack into my computer

Lia: well, that's different, the main server is like the heart of Black Watch, take it down, and you take down all operations in New York

White Hat: I know the bug is harmless, it just gathers information about both of them, no one will know how we got it..

Lia: and when the director asks how we got this info?

White Hat: we cross that bridge when we get to it

[Flashback ends back to 2024]

[2024]

White Hat: as I said in the past, we cross that bridge when we get to it

Suddenly, both their phones start to go off

White Hat: a sudden call from HQ?

Lia: same here

Lia: talk to you later, answer the call

Lia hangs up and answers the call from HQ

Lia: yes?

HQ: we need you at HQ, we have a mission for you

Lia: got it, on my way

HQ: bring White Hat with you, we need him here too

Lia hangs up the phone, goes to the room where Amila is

Lia: I have to go for a while, you don't go anywhere

Amila [sarcastically]: ha ha very funny

We cut to the investigation room where Agent 47 is.

Agent 47: Did you get the trace?

Agent 96: Yeah, we got the trace for both of them.
