The rogue sentinel

Eva's Point Of View

The click-clack sound of the heels grew nearer, with my heels striking the floor with such force that they grew louder as I walked to the control room.
  All heads turned in my direction.
"Hi Eva"
"Good evening Eva"
"Welcome back Eva"
"Congratulations Eva"
"How was the mission, I heard he almost got away"

  So many congratulations, but I had my eyes on a door, the door of my mother's office.

  Knocking on the door, I was as excited as a little kid who was given her favorite candy.
  "Come in Shadow Huntress," a voice said.

Rolling my eyes, I opened the door, "Do not call me shadow huntress mum, it makes me feel weird".

"But you are the Shadow huntress, my daughter, you just took down the World's biggest con artist, and that too in under two weeks, you have earned the title my dear" Emily, my mother said kissing my cheeks.


"You have made me proud my dear" she added as she handed me a glass of red wine. 
"Cheers to one more win, for you, me, and most importantly for Sentinel," she said as she raised her glass.

"Cheers, " I said and took a sip.
 

 "So Mum, can I go on that vacation now?" I asked, hoping she would say yes.

"Villains never go on vacations my dear," she said giggling.

"Common mum, we are not villains, we are the good guys mum, I earned it, please mum" Using my puppy eyes I hoped it would melt my mum.


"Stop using the puppy eyes, your foxy eyes suit you better" Bopping my nose, Mum smiled widely.

"There is a newbie on the block, her name is Mira, you need to show her around, show her how things work around here " Mum instructed.

 "Common Mum, I just came back from a dangerous mission and now you want me to show a newbie around? You know how newbies are, they get annoying and right now, I am cranky" I whined.

  "Maybe we can talk about the vacation later," Mum said as she pocketed her car key.
" Fine, I will do it but only because of my vacation" 


"That's my Eva, I have a meeting I should be back home before midnight," Mum said as she left.

"Let's get this over with it" I grunted as I left the office.

"Hi I am Mira, I have heard so much about you Shadow Huntress, I am your biggest fan," The teenage girl in front of me said, all in one breath.


"You should be a rapper instead of a spy," I said, giggling at her cuteness.

"I am sorry, but I can not help it, I talk so fast" Mira defended herself.

"It's okay, so why do you want to be a spy " I asked, my eyes scanning the file in my hand.
  " I lost both my parents in a car crash, and my elder sister was raped last week," she said, I could feel her anger rising.
