in her ear. “I won’t let them take you away from me, I promise,” I stated and she nodded. We walked up to them and stopped a few feet away. I quickly surveyed the men in front of us, their demeanors all-threatening. There was silence on both sides as Colin looked between Angelina and me scornfully.
    “So the two lovebirds finally decided to grace us with their presence ,” Colin spat.
    “It ’s nice to see you too Colin,” I said in the same tone, glaring at him.
    “Y ou know your little stunt has caused a bit of a problem for us Dennis. What do you suggest I do about the problem then?” He asked in an icy voice. I didn’t reply; I just kept staring at him. When I didn’t say anything he turned his attention to Angelina, I immediately tensed up. “Well hello Angelina, long time no see. Did you enjoy your little getaway vacation with Dennis?” He asked in a menacing tone, but Angelina didn’t reply.
    “Careful Colin,” I warned and he raised his eyebrows at me. Colin was very clever; he wanted to test me on how far I was willing to go to protect Angelina. I’ve always treated this man with deep respect, and I didn’t dare to step out of line with him before. But I would do it now for Angelina.
    “Are we going to have to fight this one out, Dennis?” He asked eyeing me.
    “Depends,” I said standing my ground. I wasn’t backing down from this one, if there’s gonna be a fight, I’ll fight to the bitter end for her. Colin laughed deviously and snapped his fingers; the men behind him moved towards us as Angelina went a little behind me. I lifted my hand to stop them. “Come on now Colin, there’s no need to restrain us. We’ll go with you without demonstrating any violence, there’s no need to cause a scene now,” I said. Gesturing towards the people on our far left that has been staring at us since our little encounter.
    “Very well t hen, but if you try to anything stupid Dennis, there will be fucking hell to pay,” he threatened.
    “We’re not going anywhere, you have my word,” I confirmed and he turned towards the SUV’s.
    I let Angelina walk in front of me, I rubbed her shoulders comfortingly as we both walked behind Colin. We got in the back of one of the SUV’S then drove off towards downtown headquarters. I stared at Angelina the whole way there. She seemed calm and her eyes didn’t show the slightest bit of fear, but I knew her all too well. Her fingers twitched every now and then; something she only did when she was nervous or scared, but I didn’t say anything. The agents that were with us in the front seat watched us closely, not sure of what Angelina or I might do. Since the last time she was in there custody, she left them high and dry while making the slip and coming back to me. Plus the fact that the powers she welds in her ring that resides on her little finger.
    We arrived at the downtown underground headquarters as Colin ordered the other agents away and led us to his office. Everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at us when we walked pass other agents in the hallway. I guess word got out about Agent Evers betraying the CIA for a woman that he was supposed to protect, I laughed to myself. We reached his office and he sat down in his leather armchair, gesturing us with his hand to do the same. Once we complied he scrutinized us both for a moment before he spoke.
    “Dennis, you’ve always been like a son to me, when I found you I saw unfathomable potential in you. I took you under my wing and molded you into the lethal weapon that you are today,” he said. “But never have I seen you this happy, so I guess that deserves a congratulations,” he added. “Now, would you like to tell me what the hell were you thinking?” He said as fury was returning back into his eyes “What is the first rule of being a secret agent Dennis?” He shouted.
    “No emotional attachment to clients .”
    “Exactly , but you broke that rule. And you deviated from a plan both you
