Chapter 2- “Thoughts”
On the plane ride home, Ryan thought about none other that Abby, and of course, his last mission.
At the party, he successfully retrieved the artifact, with the help of Kelly, after briefly having to make-out with her. She seemed to enjoy it more than he did.
*Flashback*
“Kelly, guards are coming! Quick! Come Here!” Ryan quickly grabbed Kelly’s arm and pulled her towards him. He kissed her fiercely. The guards walked past them, thinking that they were a young couple still ‘that phase’ of their relationship. They pulled apart with an awkward silence.
“Um.. we need to find the artifact,” Ryan spoke up.
“Um.. yea.” She was grinning.
*End Flashback*
Could Kelly like him? He hoped not. He was happy with their friendship. Should he tell Abby about this? No, he thought, Unless it gave him the chance to make her laugh. Then, and only then would he tell her.
His mind drifted to how much closer It wasn’t much, but it was something. He still didn’t know how much more of this secrecy he could take. He didn’t like lying to his parents. He didn’t like keeping his feeling hidden from Abby, either. He had to tell her, but when? The debrief? Maybe he could tell his father about it and see what he thinks. But what was he going to say? ‘ hey dad, I work as a double agent for the CIA like you and mom did and I’m in love with my handler, and I know about protocol, but it worked out for you and mom so what should I do?’ Actually, that was good. He could tell his parents the truth and reveal his feelings to Abby. He didn’t have to act on those feelings, he just wanted to let her know.
He was disturbed from his thoughts by the pilot.
“ Ladies and Gentleman, we are about to land in the LAX airport. Please buckle your seat belts and return trays to the upright position, and as always, thank you for flying with Delta Airlines.”
After the plane landed, he got his bags, and went to his drop meeting with Sanderez. He went home and went to bed.
Sunday was going to be a good day. He woke up at 8:30. He had a meeting at 10:30 with Sanderez and lunch at noon with his parents.
Ten-thirty came around and so did the meeting.
“Great Job in Rome. We have analysts decrypting the purpose of the artifact. We have acquired a lead on another artifact but we aren’t sure where exactly it is, so until we figure it out, you can finish your paperwork and have some time off. That is all.” With that, Sanderez left, and so did Ryan and the other agents.
