Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 91

"I heard you went to rescue those girls in Bali from the traffickers" 

"Oh yeah, that was another assignment that was inserted into the one I was already working on. The point is that for the first time in my career, someone beat me to it and it wasn't the Bali police. They gave me the coordinates of the place, but by the time I got there someone had already released the girls." I remembered what had happened right before my eyes.

"Strange if I think about it. Could it be another agency? I just can't find the explanation why another agency would have the coordinates of the same mission." Olivia's mind was so sharp, but I couldn't say the same thought didn't cross my mind. 

"Or maybe someone in our own agency? I'm going to ask you to keep an eye on the London branch. If things check out, it could mean either someone is helping us or betraying us and taking it one step at a time. I refuse to believe that the agency doesn't have a record of the assignments and more importantly to the one I had already been sent" Somehow the thought of Logan flew into my head but again my mind refused to believe that Agent Logan's involvement was not purely professional but went much further. 

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on what happens in London. If we look at it that way, I find it rather odd, too. I mean, they already knew you were going on that mission, so why send someone else?" The more we asked that question, the more out of the ordinary it seemed to me. 

Things were getting rushed, and frankly, I disliked it. Luckily for me, meeting Olivia would mean that I would put the London office on watch. And what better person to help me than her, the person I'd put in charge? 

And I was also lucky that Dominic was busy talking to Mike, so I caught up on these very important details. 

"Let's get back to them," I finally said, gesturing that it was time to join the others. The grill already smelled delicious. I was starving. "Good Lord Dominic, what goodies are you guys turning over there" I said, approaching them but with my eyes fixed on the meat on the grill. 

"Glad you like what you see. It's almost ready," Dominic replied, planting a quick kiss on my temple." On the other hand, we were very sad that you ladies retreated into a corner, as if you had national secrets to share. What were you all whispering about?" 

I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING

Rebecca's story

There were no incidents yesterday, but it passed relatively quickly. It didn't matter, though, that before we sat down at the table Dominic insisted upon knowing what Olivia and I were talking about, even though in his eyes we had barely met. 

In all its grandeur, the StarZone Pictures logo dominated the Azure, the hotel where the premier was to take place. And the name of the film, When love is not enough, also enthroning every entrance. 

"And here we are," a smile spread across Dominic's face as he took in the entire area. As soon as we stepped towards the entrance, a lot of paparazzi and fans jumped on him. At the same time Dominic was trying to keep me close and signing autographs for his fans. 

Although he didn't let me out of his sight, I pulled a little to one side so Dominic had room to unfold. I was watching him in all his glory, admiring the way he was behaving with all these people who had come to see him. 

After a few moments of fame, everyone retreated, letting Dominic walk forward. I felt his hand grab mine as we walked into the huge cinema room of the hotel. 

As the movie started, it amazed me at how big the room was and how many people were in attendance. At some point, the murmur became overwhelming but listening more closely, everyone was talking and appreciating their favorite actor, Dominic Stone. The premiere was some people's first time attending a movie premiere. As invitations had been on sale for some time, participants sat in their seats with curiosity and excitement.
