CHAPTER 1
"Amy, I fear we've been sighted," Jayden said snapping his fingers like he always does when he is anxious.
"I don't think so, why isn't he approaching us? Let's not make things obvious when it is not" Amy uttered glancing at one of the men in a black suit coming their way, "Oops! I guess you are right" She jumped up from where she had initially squeezed herself together with Jayden.
"Run!" Jayden yelled as he grabbed Amy, and they began running while the men in black chased after them.
Jayden Theodore lives a pathetic life running from one location to another because of the nature of his job. One would guess he is a police officer, a soldier, or just one who is in the force, but no, he is far from that. He is wanted by the country's forces. He is a SPY.
Amy is his assistant and childhood friend, she has always and will always stand by him. She is in a one-sided and unconfessed love with Jayden and also a spy.
"Oh goodness, I can't run any longer. My feet hurt" She yelled at Jayden who was steps ahead of her, Jayden had to turn back to her, he couldn't afford to leave his partner, not now, not ever. She was trying to catch her breath, but Jayden pulled her and forged on.
"You would have to persevere, Amy, we can't afford to get caught again. Secure a corner, I will cover you."
"Will you be ok?"
"I would be fine, remember, I am Jayden Theodore."
Amy smiled and then made a c-turn. Lucky for her, she lost the men in black as she watched them all run after Jayden.
After the long run from the walkway into the street and down to the busy market. Jayden slowed down and took off his blue suit, so he wouldn't be recognized. He was so unfortunate that he was caught in the act and 'BOOM!', he felt a strong jerk in his arm, and immediately followed an excruciating pain. He held his arm tightly hoping the pain won't kill him. Likewise, he tried increasing his pace, but the pain was stronger than his will. He knew he wouldn't survive if he kept running and bleeding, he needed urgent treatment. He ran into a calm street, and he realized he had lost them, or were they playing games with him? How could they have lost him?
A church bell rang, and he looked before him and saw this big Catholic Church, for a second he had his childhood memories of going into a Catholic Church just like it with his mother holding his hands.
He snapped out of it immediately, as the pain in his arm wouldn't grant him a 'me time'.
He thought of going into the church, but on second thought, he was afraid he could get the house of God stained, and also he might cause a strong commotion as he was such a great sinner that didn't deserve redemption. He walked past the church and called for help.
"Hey! AMY! I have been shot" he said using his ear sound amplifier. He waited for a response but none, "Oh God! Amy! You got a respond to me, are you ok?" Jayden panicked.
"Yeah, I am fine. Please repeat, I was distracted." Amy responded.
He gave a sign of relief.
"Thank God… I need a doctor. I got shot!!"
"Damn! Will call for Mr. Whip".
Mr. Whip was part of their team, not only was he smart enough to plan their missions, but he also had a solid medical skill.
"I can hear you" Mr. Whip responded over the earpiece.
"Please, make it snappy. I am at…"
"I know where you are handsome. I used a tracking device on your trousers" Amy muttered jokingly.
"Oh," Jayden wondered how and why she got that done.
His white inner shirt became bloody red.
Then he heard something, he paid attention to understand and…
"There he is!!
Jayden clenched his fist and started to run again. He got to the entrance of a hospital, he was contemplating, should he just sneak in and give himself treatment? So many thoughts, but he couldn't afford to get caught.
He was about to pace up while trying to ensure he had lost his chasers, while at it, his body collided with someone else.
A woman, a woman who smells like a rose.
Her bag fell and all her stuff fell out. Her clothing, books, pen, stethoscope, thermometer candy, brassieres, panties…
"Oh My God!!" She screamed.
"Oh, sorry," Jayden said. He grabbed one of her fallen stuff to cover his bloody arm.
"Don't you have eyes?" she scolded him.
"I-- I am --- so sorry. I didn't mean to--"
"What are you doing? That's my stuff!!! Give it back" she yelled, pointing at the material Jayden was using.
" I didn't---"
" PERVERT!" She screamed.
"Oh damn!" Jayden exclaimed. Why was he so unlucky? He picked the wrong thing. He picked her panties.
***
Jayden dropped the panties immediately.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed at the now obvious sight of his bloody arm. She looked up at him and their eyes locked. How handsome, she thought.
She hasn't seen a man like this in reality. It has all been movies. Is she in a movie? Perhaps in a dream. He had spectacular blue eyes, thick eyebrows, and fascinating cool and kissable lips, he was certainly a model, she thought, then her thoughts ran back to the fact that this very attractive man was bleeding and might be dying.
"What happened to you?" she asked in an attempt to touch him, but Jayden didn't like being touched, and certainly not by a stranger. He moved away, but she glared at him and, like mothers do to their stubborn son, she took his arms forcefully and started checking it out. "You need to get to the hospital, you lost so much blood already."
'I can't… I can't be in a hospital" Jayden said with a hoarse voice. "You're a nurse? Or a doctor?" he added, staring at her stethoscope. "Please, help me" he groaned in pain.
The doctor began blenching, she was scared. "Why on earth wouldn't he want to be in the hospital? Only criminals wouldn't want that? Is he a criminal?" diversities of negative thoughts ran through her mind which made her more scared to help him, but she couldn't help it, he was too handsome, and she wasn't going to watch him die. "Okay… Okay…" she said biting her lips, she nervously chewed her flesh as she picked up her stuff and selected what she would be needing for him.
She gave him painkillers and water and while he took them, she poured methylated spirit on his injuries and this made Jayden scream out in pain, grabbing one of her candies on the floor and squeezing it tightly. "Sorry," she muttered as she tore the hem of her dress and used the piece to dress up his injury to stop the bleeding. "This is first aid. I can't do more than this out here. I would need to get back to the hospital just over there and get some things. Hold on a little, and stay out of trouble" She was about to leave, but Jayden wouldn't let go of her.
"What's your name," he asked slowly.
"my name? I'm…" she got distracted by Jayden's ear amplifier beep. She frowned and took it off, looking at it closely. "What are you?" she questioned him curiously. "Why are you with this?"
"You wouldn't want to know," Jayden said, he could no longer feel anything he fainted.
"Hey!" she yelled, trying to wake him up, but Jayden wasn't responding. She was rushed to the hospital immediately.
