It was one of the rare, warm bright fall days in the Washington country. A small flock of Canadian geese flew overhead. A white blond haired American girl was sitting on a lawn chair, embracing the sun. Her blond hair went down to her waist and ended in brown tipped ends. She had deep black eyes. A man that was pale white with black hair and beady brown eyes. He was dressed in a very expencive monkey suit as well as pricey new shoes."Your drink, miss Bleacock." the girl just grabbed the whine glass out of his hands and sniffed it. "Is it me, or do I smell something fishy?" that's when she heard the ticking sound eminating through the glass, showing slight pulsing weak vibrations through the water. She threw it into the house. The door was open. A shatter of glasss, then a loud explaosion. Lucky the building's support beams held but large shards blew everywhere.Some of them found the girl but none hit the butler. One cut deeply from her right mid rib bone to her left thigh. Another sliced clean through 1/8 of her right leg and the last piece was small but almost killed her. It cut dangerously close to her wind pipe but barely slit her vocals.

Alex had yawned. He was given a two week vacation to Washington (payed for by MI6) to thank him for his most recent success in his last mission. He stretched out on the beach shore. It was the warmest its been since he got here. Even the rain last night was warm. Alex heard the whine of a siren and looked back. He could see towering black smoke in the distance. Alex could tell how intence the flames were because some of the fire trucks' lights where melted off.
He could have sworn he'd see someone wave at him through the window of the medical truck. He decided to ignore it and relax. Alex hadn't gotten one bit of piece for so long, he could't remember the last vacation he got that didn't lead to a mission. He layed back and closed his eyes and he quickly fell asleep.
To his surprise, Ben was looking down on him when he opened his eyes. Alex shifted uncomftorobly when he relized why he was there. Alex sighed and asked, "Another mission request from MI6?" Ben nodded and smiled.
