WOUNDED

Chapter 11

The wheels lifted off the ground and they were in the air once again. This time the plane was bound for , Washington DC, where she would meet the U.S. President Barack Obama. Sarah was worried though. She still thought about the innocent man she had shot down. She had come to terms with the criminals she had killed. She knew they were necessary deaths, but the innocent man wasn't. She had started to lose sleep over it. James had realised she was upset and always comforted her. One night they had talked about what happened and James had really helped her.
"James, do you think there is such thing as killer instinct."
"Why do you ask?"
"Because whenever I have a gun pointed at someone, I have an urge from somewhere, really deep down inside of me, to pull the trigger."
"You thought that man was bad Sarah, it wasn't just you deciding to kill him for no reason."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. Thanks."
"No problem, now if you don't mind, I'm getting kinda tired so..."
"Oh yeah, you go ahead, I might just get a drink first."
"Okay, goodnight."
Sarah walked out to the bar. She poured herself an orange juice, and took some migraine tablets.
"You really like him, don't you." Molly's voice came from behind.
"How long have you been standing there"
"Long enough to see how madly in love you are with him."
"Is it that obvious."
"Yep."
"Oh god."
"Don't worry, I won't tell him, but on one condition."
"You're bribing me, seriously?"
"Do you want me to tell him or not."
"Depends on the deal."
"Well you see the thing is, I like him too, so I think instead of fighting over him, we let him decide. No asking him out, or trying to make him like you better or making me look bad."
"Sounds fair, but you're forgetting one small thing, it's illegal to bribe a police officer."
"Your not a police officer though."
"Am I not, well let's just check these badges here." She said pulling out her 5 badges.
"This first one says, H.P.F.I, which stands for the 'Hacking Government Intelligence of Ireland. This one says, H.P.D, Honolulu Police Department. This one has, E.F.I, Espionage Force Ireland. This one says, OFFICIAL LICENSED HACKER AND ESPIONAGE AGENT OF THE U.N and the last one is the Five-0 one. So, what was that about me not being a police officer."
"Sarah, you may be smart, but I can figure some stuff out too. What country are we over?"
"We aren't over one, that's the Pacific Ocean."
"Exactly, that's not Ireland Hawaii or any country that is a member of the U.N is it, so none of those badges are useful here, so deal or no deal."
"Fine, I can't believe I'm doing this. Deal"
With that they shook hands. It was sealed. Sarah went to sit down to recover from the shock of being outsmarted. It hadn't happened for a while. How had she done it. Sarah knew Molly was smart but she hadn't thought she was that smart.
