When they reached to safety ground, Andy suggested “We’re still not safe, let’s go to my place.” He led them to his secret hideout. When they reached the maze, Andy stopped “Something’s wrong. Be careful everyone.” He warned. Holding up his laser gun as he opened the door slowly. To his surprise the door was unlocked, he pushed at it and it gave way easily. He let out a sigh when he saw that his place had been ransacked. The place was a mess and they took everything that was important. “Damn!” he cursed.
Julie tapped him on the shoulder to calm him “I’m sorry.” She looked around and picked up some of the files that they didn’t want. “How did they cut through your code?” she looked up from the floor.
Will observed the door “They didn’t.” he pointed to the weakened hinges “Mercury.” He said simply.
Cass put her hands on her hips “So what are we going to do? Should we go to headquarters?”
Andy turned to her, his eyes hardened “If you want to die. Before we left earlier this night, headquarters was invaded by the FBI. Apparently, Sergeant Liu had found us.”
“How?” Julie asked with concern “We never even saw the Unit.” She turned to Will.
He looked apologetically at them “I did…I followed Andy one day. But how could he tell where I was? I wasn’t in any contact with Sergeant Liu after Julie told me.”
“Your watches.” He said to Will and Julie.
“Damn them!!” Will cried angrily as he pounded his fists against the wall. “How could we be so stupid?!”
Andy sighed as he shook his head “It’s not your fault. After a while of wearing that watch, he was able to detect your place on this homing program. He is able to see every movement. Even after you take off this watch, the program can still be used within 24 hours.” He knew it all too well.
“So what now?” Julie said in defeat. “The Unit has been destroyed and we have no one to support us. There’s no where to go.”
Cass was quiet the whole time, in which Andy knew that she was pondering something “You have any ideas?” he asked her.
“Do you know of the main headquarters? It’s located in the heart of China. Unfortunately, I’ve never been there.” She said thoughtfully.
Andy searched his mind, he might have been there once, but he forgot how to get inside “Its been too long. Plus the Unit is so secretive about everything, it could have moved for all we know.”
“Well, what do you expect us to do? Sit around and wait?” Cass asked with frustration.
He turned to Julie “You want to take a trip with me?”
She smiled in return “I could use that.” Julie turned to her sister and Will “You guys coming?”
To her surprise Cass shook her head “No. There’s something I have to do.”
Will looked at her strangely “What is it?”
“Save Leann.” She said shortly “We all know she’s innocent. Although her father won’t hurt her, who knows what he’ll do to torture her. He’s an unstoppable lunatic, he can do anything. I want to keep her away from this madman.”
Will nodded “I agree. Why don’t you two go while Cass and I stay here and we’ll figure out how to help Leann.”
Julie frowned “But…I don’t want us to be separated.”
Cass smiled at her baby sister as she reached out and touched her face “Silly girl, I’ll be okay. I promise. We’ll meet up in a month at the old place.” She winked to her sister secretly. “I’m sure the FBI won’t know where that is.”
Julie smiled as she looked at the confused faces of Andy and Will “They don’t even know.” The girls giggled like little girls. It was a secret hideaway that they used to contact each other when they were small, it was just a little tree house that was built years ago by a couple set it up for their son. It was located in one of the few rural areas left in Hong Kong. The place was remote and barely anyone knew about it because it was built in a forest like area, the trees hid the house from all trespassers.
“We’ll stay here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning.” Andy suggested. Julie looked concern and he only smiled at her “Don’t worry, they’ll never think that we came back here after it’s been invaded. The most dangerous place is always the safest place.”
“Okay, Mr. Smartie pants.” Julie crossed her arms as she turned to him “Why didn’t you tell me that my sister was a Spy?” she gave him no time to answer as she turned to her sister “And you, Missy. Don’t even trust your own sister to tell her the truth…tsk tsk tsk, I’m ashamed at you!” she was half joking but the other half was more sad that her very own blood couldn’t tell her this secret.
Cass shook her head with a smile “I couldn’t tell you. Because I knew you two were agents, FBI and the Spy Unit does not mix. I joined about three years ago. When you were in training with the FBI. I was actually working at a restaurant to pass time. One day after work, I ran into Andy. He seemed hurt so I took him in and helped him out. I soon found out his secret identity.”
“As a Spy, you cannot let anyone know who you are unless the person is a spy themselves or they have the ability to one day become a spy. I told her I had to kill her.” A small smile spread across his face as he remembered the situation.
Julie wrinkled her eyebrows with interest “You had to kill her?”
Will snickered “If he did, she wouldn’t be standing here would she?”
She turned her evil eyes at him “Don’t disturb our conversation.”
Cass laughed “I wonder how you two became partners.”
“Must be an evil plan of Sergeant Liu, he knew we despised each other so maybe he figured we would destroy each other.” She turned back to her sister from her glaring eyes at Will “So, what happened?”
Cass nodded “Right. Where was I? Okay, so I asked him what I had to do for him not to kill me. He said I had to join the Spy Unit.” She brought her arms out, her head tilting to one side “So here I am.”
“That easy?” Julie asked with disappointment “You guys didn’t battle it out and then you beat Andy so he said he would take you in?” her imagination was running away with her. Cass shook her head “What a jip. Hey, so all this time, you knew that we weren’t really married?”
“Wasn’t it obvious?” Will rolled his eyes.
Julie narrowed her eyes at her sister “You made me sleep in the same room with him for 6 months?!” she reached for her sister and shook her roughly “How could you do that to me??!! Every night, snoring…” she imitated Will’s snore but it was exaggerated.
Cass and Andy only laughed as they watched the two argue again “We’ll it’s better than your tossing and turning, making the bed squeak so much. The first night had no sound and then BAM! Squeak…squeak…” the argued into the night.
********************
The girls slept on the bed while the guys laid out on the cold floors. Andy awakened early as he carefully woke Julie up trying not to disturb the other two sleepy heads. The sun was barely rising when Julie opened her eyes “Time to go, Julie.” He whispered as he reached under her neck and knees. He picked her up with ease as he steadied her to the ground “You awake?” he asked again.
She stretched out her arms and smiled “Yeah.” She nodded. Julie glanced down at her sister as she reached down and kissed Cass on the forehead “Be careful, Ga Jei.” She whispered. She smiled at Cass’s angel like face before turning to Andy. “Let’s go.”
The two headed out to the streets, the light from the sun came over the gray color of the morning like a blanket. Andy and Julie walked hand in hand to the nearest metro sky link station. It was like a train but 10 times faster and it traveled to every city connected to China and Hong Kong. It was held up with strong steel bars so that it was higher than most buildings. They seated in a large group that poured into the sky train.
Andy held onto Julie’s hand tightly as he looked into her eyes, smiling each time she turned away shyly. “Stop staring.” She whispered.
He smiled and leaned in closer to her ear “I have to. Those guys across from us have been staring at us since we got on the train.” He pulled away while she giggled as if he said something funny. She was quick to catch on to his diversion.
Julie spoke through her smile “What are we going to do?” she tilted her head and played with her shoulder length hair. She casually turned around trying to spot the men but acted like she was looking for something or someone. She saw a guy who was well built and his head was shaved. While his partner was an older guy with a round tummy. He looked too big and definitely out of shape.
“Sit until we come to our stop. We’ll split when we get off.” He reached over and smoothed out the strand dangling across her forehead. “Be careful. You have your gun?”
She leaned her head against his chest as she nodded “Yes.”
It was hours until they finally reached their destination. The train stopped and Julie looked up, noticing their group had decreased except the two men were still staring at them through their dark lenses. Andy and Julie got and filed out like everyone. They walked briskly down the escalator leading to the city grounds. The minute they reached it, the two split up and ran in two directions.
The men that were following them looked at each other as the fat one followed Julie while the other followed Andy, which was a mistake since Andy was more experienced. Again he merged into the crowded crosswalk and maneuvered through people with ease. The guy’s head moved up and down as he tried to dodge the people and keep an eye on Andy at the same time. When he reached an area with little people, the guy spun in circles looking for him. He came to a secluded alley only to be attacked by Andy. They fought with swift movements but Andy was quicker. He used his legs as he spun it to the ground in a circular motion towards the follower’s feet. The guy fell back with a thump while Andy towered over him, his gun sprawled out. “Move and I’ll blast your guts open.” His eyes began to slowly smile “Now is that how they teach you to fight an attacker?” he put away his gun as he reached out his hand to the guy (Wong Hei - guest star) to assist him up.
David smiled at his friend as he let Andy help him up “I was holding back, unlike someone. Hong Kong made you rough, didn’t it?” he punched his arm playfully. He looked around “Where’s that girl you were with?”
Andy’s smile faded “Julie! Oh gosh, I hope your partner was easy off on her.” They guys rushed in the opposite direction as they came upon a residential area. They looked around and found a crowd surrounding something. They pushed through and Andy had to cover his mouth from bursting with laughter.
David groaned as he covered his eyes “I am officially embarrassed.”
There in the center was Julie sitting on the big round guy that had followed her. His arm twisted behind his back as he called out in pain each time she yanked it upwards. She instantly noticed Andy as her face brightened “Andy!”
He nodded with a huge grin on his face, he brought out his hand as she reached for it with ease. He pulled her up and shook his head “I guess I didn’t need to be worried.”
David quickly helped his partner up “Get her away from me! She’s crazy. I thought you said you knew him?” Gary (Bobby Au Yeung) practically hid behind David.
“You scared of a girl?” David asked. He looked around at the crowd “It was just a joke, there’s nothing to see.” The people cried out in disapproval but they all began to leave. He turned to Julie and brought out his hand “I’m David.”
Julie glanced at Andy who nodded and she returned the handshake “Julie.”
“Nice work you did there.” David nodded to his partner who was still rubbing on his bruised arm.
“Sorry about that. I didn’t know you guys knew each other.” Julie said to Gary.
He only nodded “Yeah well, next time, I’m just gonna stand on the side line and wait. No wonder I can’t get a girlfriend.” Gary groaned as his face twisted in pain.
David patted his friend on the shoulder “Don’t you remember, we’re not allowed to date.” He looked around carefully and then back at Andy “Maybe we should go somewhere and talk.”
Andy smiled with a nod “That’s a good idea.” He reached for Julie’s hand as they followed David and Gary. Julie giggled when Gary was walking next to her and when he turned and saw her face, he rushed to David’s other side. “She’s harmless.” Andy assured Gary.
He only snickered “Yeah, you weren’t the one eating dirt while a girl sat on your back.”
