The mission at I.O. Academy to protect Allison was first assigned to Jean Evans, otherwise known as Agent P, in the deception division. The mission wasn't to protect Allison entirely, Jean was sent there to keep an eye out for the assassin. In a battle between the Renais and the R.U. in the past however, because our two organizations were enemies, Jean was hurt and the mission temporary turned over to Agent W, who had recently went off-duty due to a reported partner issue. Agent W replaced Agent P and went solo coinciding with taking the mission at I.O. The assassin that was supposed to arrive at the academy was Chestin Hall, an agent of the Trackers that specialized in concocting poison. It was reported that his purpose for coming to the school was to have a trade-off with Allison Frances to deliver the poison vials to Raelyn Frances.

Meanwhile, a member of the Renais, better known as Liam Carter, our well-respected double agent of the R.U., intercepted the plan of the Trackers and took on the mission at I.O., with myself, Agent O, guiding him. Because he took on the mission, Agent W was not supposed to know of the details due to her past with him. I was Carter's mission partner three years ago. We were distant acquaintances that took orders from our head leader, Jay, without knowing each other personally. Of course, Carter knew Jamie Lennon from the start. From the very start. He was an agent that no one knew of, for separate mission purposes, however. At the moment, he was to vaguely watch over Jamie.

Carter began feeling too comfortable in the Renais, and it was my mission to bring him back to the R.U. We made a deal with Allison to capture him. Things took a turn for the worst when Jay realized that Frances and Lennon were related. Raelyn, Allison's mother, had other plans for Jamie when she got her hands on her, and former Agent W, Wendy Emerson, was contacted to reopen her mission case years earlier on Raelyn. Raelyn told Chestin to bring Jamie to her in exchange for their partnership.

Carter was rescued back to the R.U., where he worked as an undercover agent once more on the Trackers, though this time he had lost his memories. Jamie was inserted with Raelyn's poison, of which were the first batch sent over by Chestin prior to the mission, and gradually was observed to forget about Carter, Kai Bennet, and people from I.O. Academy. She didn't forget everything because of her time in the hospital during the mission, which let her retain her other memories, and remember quickly if she ever laid eyes on them again.

Chestin entered as an agent for the R.U. some time later and the R.U. accepted him. It was I who suggested he be a part of our team so that I could keep an eye on him. Throughout our time together, I was able to figure out the Tracker's movements and Chestin's plans on bringing Jamie back to her step-mother. My team went on a mission deep into the night regarding the Trackers and our connection weakened. Correction— Chestin was making his first move. The building was an old headquarters for the Trackers and there was still a file left on them that would serve as proof that Chestin was a Tracker, which would further our plans on intimidating his organization on staying in their lane.

Kora, the little girl on my team, was spoken to privately by me, who told her to report what happened on ground. She let herself be captured by the Trackers and discovered Chestin disappearing at the same time the connection died out. I figured he was regrouping with his actual team to retrieve the flash-drive our team was supposed to steal that night. I hacked into their system, while pretending that they hacked into mine, and was late on fulfilling Agent W's orders on fixing Chestin's connection. Our team that night got the flash-drive and Chestin switched it out while in the car, oblivious to me already having his identity file and mission plans.

Carter's memory was lost on the R.U. and the Renais... and the Jamie at age seven. Former Agent W, Jamie's biological mother, requested for him to train back at the R.U., doing everything we can to keep Jamie and Liam apart. She was afraid if he remembered, he would go back to the Renais and we'd lose an agent, more importantly a former double agent that knew too much. But Jamie and Liam were reunited unexpectedly when the Riskits attacked, the new leader of them unaware that Liam had never been on their side in the first place. Though I dare not make a firm statement on that anymore after seeing Carter waver.

On the night that Chestin suggested Jamie and I drink with him, he dropped a sleeping pill in my drink and planned on taking on Jamie when the two of them were alone. I pretended to be knocked out to eavesdrop on their conversation, cutting in before he could lay hands on Agent W.

Jay suggested that we take advantage of the situation since Liam didn't remember his past after meeting Jamie, and they were told to go on Liam's mission together. Rosella and Ben were in contact with Chestin, which was a set-up scenario for Liam to be pulled away from the R.U. so that Jamie could be taken away. Carter and I were strangers again and once again I was guiding him on his new mission. The first time I called on Jamie's phone Carter didn't seem to remember anything. However on the second time I called his personal phone in the middle of the night, he had spoken his first line to me as, "Agent K, reporting over in a very long while... miss me, Agent O?" We had a meaningful talk that night before we had to end the call so that he could go find Jamie and report to her what I told him [click here to access the link to the call]. The cuffs were going to explode if Agent W and Agent K came into contact, not if they didn't. I knew that specifically from the flash-drive revealing Chestin's plans.

I am heading out tonight to stop Chestin. He just left our dorm room... he just came back. He's coming here. He's coming for me. Damg i;::;)

_P H o N e C a L L_

You were directed to the hard copy of the call below.

"Agent K, reporting over in a very long while... miss me, Agent O?"

"... Tsk, your memory's back?"

"You seem a bit disappointed, my man Axel."

"It's been a while Liam. You do realize that after regaining your memories, you have a lot to do right?"

"... Of course. I was an R.U. agent. I'll never forget."

"Seemed to me like you wavered a bit. Kai and Isla was it? They're pretty important to you now aren't they. Jamie told me all about them when she came back from that mission three years ago. You know the reason why she hasn't officially returned back to the R.U. even after that mission at I.O. was because she found out about her father and mother? Must of been a pretty big shock to her and she wanted to get her mind off of it ."

"*sigh* What are you trying to say, Axel? Why are you bringing her in all of a sudden?"

"You know why, Liam Carter. Your position at the R.U. was being a double agent from the very beginning. No one was supposed to know about you, or else they could take advantage of you knowing too much information from the R.U. and the Renais. Besides, didn't we make a deal not to reveal to Jamie what really happened in her past?"

"I could care less right now if she remembered who I was or if I was important to her when she was seven. It was the R.U. that cut off our connection. I have nothing more to say. I only accepted the mission at I.O. because I... recognized her. I forgot she was someone important to me."

"She's still important to you now? *sigh* We told you to forget her, Carter."

"I did."

"You showed interest in her again three years ago. Lied to the Renais that you were going to I.O. and getting near Allison for her father's 'money.' We allowed you to go there to stop Chestin and the exchange with Allison. The only set-back was Agent P was hurt in a mission between the R.U. and the Renais, so Jamie was sent in. Everything went down the drain when our enemies were Jamie's relatives. And you went into her life again. We're bringing her into a lot of danger, Agent K. She didn't ask to be a sheep in the midst of our plans. She was told nothing, because YOU came into the mission."

"Tsk, I'm trying my best. You think I wanted her to be caught in all of this? I simply just wanted to accept an R.U. mission and stop Chestin from exchanging the poisons with Allison... and possibly look over the girl I grew close to when she was seven, because YOU people forbade me from seeing her suddenly. Do you know how much damage that did to her? How was I supposed to know everything was connected now? We should just tell her the truth. No more games, Axel. You're not protecting her, you're digging a deeper hole for yourself. If you won't tell her who I am, I will."

"Don't threaten me, Agent K."

"Axel. She's becoming a bait for you people and your desire to stop the Trackers from their deeds. Her family's a mess and the people close to her are scheming liars. She's been left behind and betrayed too many times. And then I heard you accepted Chestin into your team? You let her become his partner? Do you know everything that's been going on is setting up for something unforeseen in the future? What will you do when she's damaged beyond repair? Jamie's a strong woman, I've watched her all these years. But there's only so much she can handle on her own."

"'You people?' You're talking as if you don't associate yourself with the R.U. And from what I'm hearing it seems like something already happened... what happened to her, Liam?"

"I haven't confirmed anything... But she's showing signs of not wanting to be an agent anymore. She's..."

"... Depressed?"

"... Could you blame her though? Every time she thinks she's found a stable person they go running off without her. You've become something stable for her now. I'm afraid if she finds out you've twisted her memories on her time with you, she'll have nothing to grab onto."

"*sigh* Let's just focus on the Trackers for now. Chestin's organization. Getting proof on Chestin and information on his group to intimidate the Trackers. I will take care of Jamie later. Don't interfere."

"What is she to you, Axel? You've become closer to her after I left the scene."

"I care about her. I do. It's just I've been caught up in finishing everything and—"

"Have you told her how you really feel? She needs to know even after all of this, you were her friend. Don't leave her, Axel."

"*sigh* Why do you think I took the chance earlier when you didn't have your memories to tell her I loved her? I realized too late she was doing what she was told, and still not being explained to or praised for anything she's doing."

"You need to have a file on this. You do, right? Don't miss any details. If anything occurs, at least she has an explanation waiting on paper."

"I have it saved on my laptop. Look, I'm heading over tonight after you take care of Rosella and Ben for the time being. I have my proof and I can detain Chestin from making any more moves. But, if I don't show up, you know something happened, and you need to take action from there. Don't bother yourself with what happened to me, focus on sending help alerts to the R.U., and if need be, straighten things out with your mind. Who are you loyal to? What do you want to do? Go find your own answers."

"And don't let Chestin know I regained my memories. We'll get the upper hand in the background."

"Please... protect Jamie as well. I wouldn't ask anyone else."

"Three years ago I shot at her and tried to kill her for the sake of gaining the Renai's trust. Three years later I'm letting her think she'll blow up to gain the trust of Ben and Rosella by not going to her right away... a part of me wants to just take her away. I don't want her to know the severity of everything."

"Neither do I. It's too late. We live and we learn. We make mistakes and we pay for them. That is what I am doing right now. I have a feeling Chestin is catching onto me, Liam. This may not play out too well."

"You're dying on me, Damond?"

"*chuckle* I try not to."

"You can't. Or I'll hold your files against you. Don't go dying when everything's not resolved yet. This is a personal problem for us now, the mission is simple. It's Jamie we need to keep an eye on. She's capable of anything if she puts her mind to it. So if she finds this all out the wrong way, she will be a mess."

"I know. Don't let my files be read by anyone else besides you or Jamie. I'll send it to the head of the R.U. after everything's resolved."

"Don't let Chestin get you first. Deal?"

"Sorta-deal."

"You're a good man. She thinks you haven't been involved in anything. Can you really fix this? I'd cry if I have to, *light chuckle* it'll be harsh man. Can't imagine having to do it on my own."

"... yeah... yeah. Go back to Jamie now."

"Wow, what's this? Am I finally allowed to go near my BFF from childhood? *gasp*"

"... You're a grown man, Carter. Stop making jokes like that, creep."

"Tsk, my feelings, Axel."

"Glad to see you've never changed. *sigh* I wished there was more time. If we'd gotten to know each other three years ago, maybe we would have come to the conclusion to tell Jamie everything before it got this far."

"I think she can get back on her feet after finding everything out. She's an unbelievably stubborn and strong young lady. Feisty, beautiful—"

"You're just complimenting her at this point."

"Haha, am I? What a tease, huh?"

"Liam... how do you feel towards her?"

"Like how I always feel. She's nothing like a lady and has a temper of a bullfrog. I got to rekindle my relationship with her three whole times in my lifetime. Once during Wendy's scandal period, once at I.O., and now finally at the R.U. She's the same-old Jamie each time."

"... But—"

"—But... I love her. She's important to me."

"How important? Aren't you forgetting your girlfriend Isla? Was she just someone you tried to transfer your feelings onto to forget the Jamie at age seven?"

"No. Isla was... something. She did mean something to me. For that moment in my life... I don't know anymore."

"You fell in love with her again, didn't you?"

"No I—"

"I was talking about our Agent W. Not Isla."

"..."

"*chuckle* I see."

"*sigh* Stop messing with me. I'm still trying to figure it all out."

"... It really is fate that ties Agent W and Agent N together."

"... Agent N? My father?"

"Jamie's mother had Charles and Jamie as her family already. Your father was Agent N, her partner. He too had his own family, your mother and you. It was rumored that Wendy and Sebastian had a relationship with each other however when Wendy started becoming too close with him. It's difficult to say for certain if there really was anything, but she kept to herself and didn't cheat on her family, nor did your father. The scandal took a toll on both of them, however. They were both well-respected, but relationships at the R.U. was forbidden since the beginning of time. The night that Wendy left her husband and daughter, she was on a mission, but during that mission she was dismissed from the R.U. She came back to her family being disfunctional, dare to say it already was, and while feeling confused with her feelings she was inserted with the poison by Raelyn during her weak time. The two have a painful past. She regained her memories years later however. It was a matter of just time. She had a whole family. She can't forget them forever."

"And I was already an agent since I was born. I was Agent K since my father was still an agent at the time. I met Wendy once. Back then the R.U. had lighter rules on agents' kids and I was allowed to go to a public school. I befriended Jamie and she told me about her mother leaving and her father becoming a drunk addict. But she held on because I was there. When Agent W and Agent N were dismissed, I was called in to start training. I was told I would become a double agent, and for that the R.U. agents must not know me. When Wendy requested for Jamie to be taken up by the R.U., that began her life as an agent at the same corporation as me. I was forbidden from talking to her again. I stopped talking to her in school, and she ran away from home after a few days. There wasn't anyone there anyway. The R.U. took her in, and from then on you replaced me."

"In the years that she trained she slowly forgot you. When I came into the scene I followed what you told me to do. I became close to her and did things that you secretly told me to do to her to keep her happy. She soon began thinking I was you and I filled in as your replacement so that you could become the agent they wanted you to be."

"I even modeled my car after her. Tsk, I was something."

"Pft, Love Boy. Just talking about this brings back so much memories. It's nostalgic."

"... Tell me about it *chuckle*."

"Also.. don't think I let this slide. You kissed her? You sneaky little brat."

"... To be fair I didn't have my memories back..."

"You're so dead."

"You are. You have a lot of explaining to do. Anyway, Rosella's asleep right now. I have to get back to Jamie. Can't believe I talked to you for so long, ugh. I'm honestly such a man. You feel tingly after speaking to me? Like something warmed your heart?"

"Stop with the jokes, OK?"

"Our ship name."

"... You're forcing me to write all of this crap down about ship names and shit. Stop messing with my report."

"Peace out."

"—Don't die." "—Don't you dare die."

End of Call

"Have your eyes been blessed, Agent W?"

I dropped the laptop. When I looked up at Chestin, my eyes were bloodshot red. "This..." I kicked the device as far away from me as possible, eyeing it with disbelief and hurt. The man before me shoved me down to the ground and pressed my ear to the floor. My grunt was muffled and I bit into the inside of my mouth.

"Do you hear that, Jamie?" Chestin sneered, climbing over my body, "you hear movement underneath Rosella's house? You know why?" He bent down so that his face was next to mine, whispering down on my ear, "Because Axel's right here. He's been underneath us since last night. And he's about to... die." The man began laughing uncontrollably.

So uncontrollably, that the shot that went off from underneath was only recognized through my body detecting vibrations on the ground. I snapped my eyes to the device in the corner that I tossed away from Chestin earlier. Blood suddenly splattered the screen that once showed Axel tied up. I cried my voice out, but it was muffled from Chestin stepping on the side of my face. I shouted until I had nothing left in me. It all became a blur. At one point I managed to get up and hold Chestin up by his hair and shot at him. But my gun was taken away by R.U. agents that blasted through the door sometime in the midst of things.

I crisscrossed on the ground and everything was muffled as background noise as I hung my head down, hands held together and I shut my eyes from the tears streaming down. I couldn't stop it. I didn't want to stop it. From behind I faintly was aware of Ash crying out for me, saying she was scared. People were taking her. It was my people, but I didn't feel like explaining to her... she had a bomb in her stomach from Rosella, but she was getting help now. She will be fine. She is fine.

They took the recording from my phone underneath Liam's suit jacket and took Chestin away aggressively. They noticed the devices in the room and gathered them up, some rushing downstairs to see if Axel had died.

Haha... he died?

Wow. What a life.

I laughed and sat there, fully aware of the group of agents hovering above me, telling me to get up and come home. I heard Helene's voice, and Sammy's, and Kora's, Jean, Hunter, Aaron, blah blah blah.

They were all telling me to get up.

Couldn't I... just stay down? Why... why couldn't I just...

I yelled a blood-curdling screech and slammed my head into my palms, yelling rounds after rounds after rounds of nonsense and noise. I had no words in me but I knew I wanted to yell. So I yelled my heart out... and scared the people close to me. I scared all of them away.

I even scared myself. That's... funny.

In the meantime, someone grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to my feet.

-

Woo. Wow. It's been a while you guys ♥ I've been spending time with family and if you didn't catch it I was a little sick. But I'm better and I'm ready to write again. I listened to River Flows in You by Yiruma and Please by Kim Hyun Joong on repeat while writing this chapter. Don't know why I just said that haha.

There will be a chapter on Agent W, Agent N, Raelyn, and little Liam and Jamie's past. But hey, if there's something you need clarification on, ask away! I tried to explain everything in this chapter but I'm not perfect!

For those of you on summer-mode right now, have a blast! You deserve some fun. If you're just on Wattpad all day long *cough* hey— join the Wattys! Do it, do it. I secretly support everyone.
