After completing their mission, I overheard the secret agent team playfully teasing Scarlett Grey, "Hey Scarlett, try not to break the bed this time when you're with the captain."
"Tell Carter to be more careful, not me," Scarlett replied with a mischievous grin. "And don't spread rumors in front of my spouse tomorrow."
As she reached for her phone, the team exchanged knowing looks. "You save your love for your husband, but your passion is for Captain Brooks. Scarlett, you're quite the diplomat."
A moment later, my phone vibrated.
As I listened to Scarlett express how much she missed me, my heart felt heavy.
She was unaware that I had covertly joined the team as their intelligence expert, accompanying her on every assignment.
I had remained awake all night when she and Carter Brooks first spent the night together.
After ending my call with Scarlett, I dialed another number. "I accept your proposition. I'll depart from the squad and embrace a peaceful life."
A composed voice answered, "Excellent. Following the success of the decapitation mission, we'll leave the country together. Just three days from now."

Carter, fully cognizant of the tense atmosphere, scoffed, "What's the fuss about? Without our fieldwork, that so-called intelligence is just worthless paper. Death is death. Is it as significant as Scarlett?" He aimed to sound assertive, as if defending Scarlett, anticipating her grateful smile.

Before Carter could reply, Scarlett pounced on him, her hands clamping around his throat. "If you weren't hurt, why would I have rushed to leave that night?!" she yelled, her voice shaking with fury. "If you hadn't constantly provoked me, how would Henry have discovered? How would he have died because of me?! It's all your doing, you scoundrel!"


The team struggled to pull her off, their combined effort barely managing to loosen her grip. Carter gasped and coughed, while others attempted to calm Scarlett.
