Day 88
Headquarters.
They were almost there.
"There had been a siege. There is no word on your father." the doppelganger said.
"That doesn't mean anything," Roger said out loud but inside he was worried about his father.
His daughter slept next to him through the entire ride.
As they approached the first barricade they were reunited with resistance fighters. Old friend from the war of long ago. Some had even served with his father."
"It is so good to see you Roger," one of the men dressed in fatigues said.
"Is he...o.k.? Roger asked reluctantly. He was afraid of what the answer might be. He had lost enough he did not want another loss this day.
"He is alive and well. He will be here shortly."

"We need to get out of here."
Just then the girl was injected with something to make her sleep.
This was all too much for her to take.
A flood of emotions.
Washed over the pain.
Of years of regret.
He was reunited with the other agent who had taken his daughter to safety.
and the one who had taught and protected her.
The three of them were together.

"I have a car waiting. This is my doppelganger. We must leave now." she said.
"We need to contact my father! " he said.
"He might already be dead." she said.
"I doubt that."
Just then the lights went out.
"I have a car waiting on the other side of the tracks but we must move now." she said.
The three of them ran as the remianing members of the organization closed in and over took the train and the trainstation.

"Christopher."
He hadn't seen him since the war. He was thought to have been killed by the Organization, but the pictures brought him to a point of ...
Hope.
It was all he had left.
They had shared a lot of good times as well as a lot of battles.
They had almost reconnected ...
Once.
When Rachael went missing. He had someone on the inside looking out for her.
He had heard that there was an attack at the office.
He had heard that he had been killed.
He had heard that he was in fact Rachael's
Father.
That's why they were married.
To protect the innocent.
To keep the revolution going.
To give his son the hope that he never had.
The hope of love.

As they busted through the door to the office. The director was already dead.
On his desk were a collection of pictures. They were pictures cut out of celebrities who looked like the people in the organization. These pictures were attached to the desk with magnets.
He was confused for a minute and then realized what it all meant.
There were only two people he knew who did this sort of thing.

"I just want it over!!!!!" he commanded.
It needed to end.
"Sir. It's your son. He is in position. The threat is growing on the ground. We must move now." the soldier reported.
"Proceed." he said.
His body was frail from the years. He looked strong on the outside but he was barely surviving. The only thing that kept him pushing himself forward was love.
His wife had suffered the same fate as Rachael. The organization had brought generations of his family to their knees and now it was soon to be over.
As the soldiers entered the main lobby leading to the directors office it was only a matter of time before it would end.

As she lay there he plead with her with his daughter crying by his side.
He told her that he loved her and the reasons he did what he did.
He told her the plan. What was going to happen. How it was all going to end. How she was going to be the new Director. That was his gift to her. People needed to believe that they were dead. Even though they found out that they were alive since they were separated the Organization would leave him alone. Their daughter would be safe. and they would never see it coming.
Just like this attack. His wife was dead.
Before the end he told her about his father. His story. How he became the man he was. How he had looked out for both of them from afar.
and then he told her about the relation to him and the one he called his Sister.
She was his sister.

Her frame had remained the same. She was his daughters teacher. She was his...
Sister.
"I'm so glad to see you. We need to get her."
"She will be o.k. The Commander sent back up." "We need to get out of here before more agents arrive. We are on our own until we get to headquarters." she said.
Rachael looked stunned.
"Rachael I always knew you worked for the agency. I just needed to know that I could trust you and now I know. I needed you to lead us to the Director." Roger said.
"So you used me." Rachael was crying with rage.
"No more than you used me," Roger retorted.
"This is nice and all but we need to get to your daughter and then we need to get out of here. There aren't that many of us. The other revolutionaries are at headquarters ready to siege. The Director will be taken hostage and the new Director will take his place. We must act quick. We must get out of here now!" she grabbed Roger by the arm.
Just then the train door opened and the child ran into her fathers arms.
"Daddy." she said. He hugged her crying.
"Mommy," she said running to her mother.
She held her in her arms and wouldn't let go.
As she fell to the ground it slowly occurred to Roger that his wife had been shot.
The child fell out of her mothers arms and Roger ran to her aide.
The other agent attacked with a vengeance. She chased down the assailant. Through the train doors and over the cries of a husband and his daughter was the sound of a man pleading for his life and then...
Silence.

As the plane crossed through the clouds a haze could be seen on each side.
The destination was nearing. He began to have second thoughts but he knew what he had to do.
"The attack has begun." the soldier next to him reported.
"Excellent." he said.
As the headquarters of the Organization were over taken by rebel soldiers he was about to land. His job was easy. He was the commander. He was their leader and he took his job seriously.
"My son?" he asked.
"Yes Commander. He is alive. As well as his wife and child."
"One of our agents has them."
"As you were."
He acted as if it were all procedural but his heart was racing. and his health was not what it had once been.
"Strike and don't look back. I want the Director taken hostage. We are not murderers we are revolutionaries!!!!!!"

The voice spoke only for a moment. One word.
"Now."
The man picked up his coat from the chair and walked to a door.
As he exited he was flanked by solidiers at each side.
He placed a beret on his head and the patch over his eye spoke to the tragedy that he had endured when he was his own sons age.
"Sir." The lituenant said.
"This is it. We will be at the destination in 0200 hours."
"Good." he said.
"I have waited my whole life for this moment. My family will be reunited."
As he boarded the awaiting plane he looked out at the tarmac and with a woeful glace remembered that he would see his homeland no more. For his sacrifice would change the course of history.
and her story would be written for generations to come.

Day 79
In an office half way around the world a man sat waiting for a call. A call from his son. Someone he had cared for all his life.
His son had at one time been a solider. Then he had gone home from the war. He met a girl, they got married, they had a daughter. But now the times were darker. The night was pitch black. The sighs for air coming from his lungs were shallower by the day.
All he ever wanted was to take down the agency. The Organization as they called themselves.
Some organization they were.
As luck would have it they met. He and her. Roger his son. The woman Rachael who would give birth to a daughter.
The floodgates were open.
The future was unsure.
But if he were to ever to gain control again.
He would take them down.
He would take them all down.
The phone rang.

As the girl was running she passed bodies of agents. Somehow this one person had destroyed those who were trying to hurt her. People would tell her one day that he was an evil man. Or that he was crazy. But she knew in her heart that he was the one who knew all along where the path lie.
That he alone.
Was the one.
Who would help to lead her home.
As she passed through the doors of the train station a woman in a coat approached her. "I am so glad to see you."
"Where is my mother and father?"
"They are nearby. We must go now before more agents arrive."
The girl knew she had to trust her. The man led her to this place. The phone call. The years. It was all coming true. She was finally going to be.

"You can't trust anyone little one. Remember that. People will turn on you. I hate to be the one to tell you."
"I wasn't aiming for you. I was aiming for them." the mysterious figured said.
Just then a group of agents surround the outskirts of the train station. They were armed and they were outnumbered.
The little girl knew that she would be reunited with her parents one way or another and no one was going to get in the way of that.
The stranger spoke, "So I see you have us outnumbered. That's too bad because what if you could never have that of which you want."
The stranger grabbed the girl and took her hostage. "If she's dead who are you going to use? Who will do your bidding in the future. This has to stop. This has to end. The world will collapse without us. I doubt that. I doubt that. I even doubt myself. Sometimes." Under his breath he told her, "I will keep you safe little one. I am losing my mind. But even then my soul tells me to keep you safe. Don't be scared. When I start firing run to the station you will find your father and mother there."
The girl nodded. He seemed like someone she once knew but how could this be.
He raised his arms to reveal an artillery laden jacket. He was a madman to some but he was her way to safety.
"RUN!!!!!!" he yelled.
She ran.
He fired a barrage that seemed to never end.
The other agents fired back.
In the end he was dead and she was free.

The girl was frozen in her own confusion.
She wanted to find her parents. She wanted to find her protector.
The train station was just out of reach. She could see the fire and the smoke in the distance.
She could see the end coming near.
She could see over the horizon.
The problem was that there was none.
She was the horizon.
She was the sunshine.
She was the one.
The only one that mattered anymore.
Her senses were heightened.
She could hear the bullet in the chamber.
"How was this possible?" she thought to herself.
She was confused but she knew what to do.

So here we are at the 75th day of 100 days of summer.
The story is 3/4 of the way through.
The weird thing is that I will miss it.
The other strange thing is that I have to wrap it up in the next 24 posts.
I remember an interview with Prince that Chris Rock did years ago talking about how sometimes the limits bring out the better in the artist (I'm paraphrasing) because you have to find the work around.
So next up more Low Road.

"I had to make a choice." he said.
"What choice?" Rachael could not for the life of her put it together.
"I had to choose our daughters life and freedom over that of the organization. Soon you will be wanted for the death of the director. The cameras at the train station will capture a woman who is seen fleeing the scene of the assignation of an agent." he stated.
"They are relentless. They will kill you." he said.
"Why would you do this to me? she asked.

In front of her was a woman. A beautiful woman who resembled someone. She couldn't quite place it. She was far too young to remember. But emotionally she felt connected to her.
Shock took over and she just stood there looking at her lifeless body.
Knowing.
The bullet was meant for her.
This stranger had saved her life.
She knelt down and the woman said nothing.

They were going to be reunited one last time.
She spent her life on the sidelines for him.
She dialed down her career. She felt like it was neccessary. The woman who approached her all those years ago told her how good they were together. She was his wife.
Stephanie just wanted to be like anyone else. She thought to herself.
"Wow I must be losing it. My boyfriend is on the run. He is married so he isn't even my boyfriend anymore." "It's like he never was."
But still she thought.
To herself.
"I love him."
Just then a gun shot rang out.
Her head slouched.
and a pool of blood began to form beneath her crown.
She was gone.
Would he ever know how much she loved him?
No one knows.
Except.

Day 66
"I must find her." She thought to herself. She removed the mirror from the bathroom to reveal a hiding place full of money and weapons. It was her secret vault. It led to a crawl space that led to a room. The Vault. No one knew but her. Of course she did think someone would be on to her. I mean how many school teachers do you know that buy weapons and stockpile them. She told them they were gifts for her boyfriend. He was a solider.
and in a sense she was right.
For the love of her life was the Agency and now the cracks were showing.
She gave everything of herself to the Agency.
She used to have leeway but now they were controlling all of the shots and this latest escapade was getting out of control
She would never let anything happen to that child even if it meant death. Even if it meant the death of The Agency it self.

Day 65
The voice on the other end of the line was agitated to say the least.
"What happened? We are relying on you. This is the only way we can control them." the Director said.
"Control them?" She sounded puzzled.
"What our plans are are no concern to you." The director said.
"They are to me when I and a child are involved." she said sternly.
"What do you intend to do?" she asked.
"Kill them all." said the director.
"Who"? What?" She was confused. She was the girls protector and teacher. She was her mother in a sense and now she was to be her killer there was no way she was going to let that happen.
She knew not to let on or else the girl would be in even more danger.
"I will take care of it." she said.
Good Sabrina for without you this mission would fail and you wouldn't want to let down your family now would you." the Director said.
"No I wouldn't." she said.

Day 64
The words from the young girl hurt her worse than anything else ever had.
She was no one's mother. She was never given that privilege.
Not that she didn't want it.
The life as an agent was painful enough.
She could not imagine bringing into it another life.
One that would need her more than anyone else.
She longed for it.
The phone rang.
As she went to answer it she noticed the girl...
Was gone.

Day 63
As they exited the club to his car he held the door open for her.
"Strange," she thought to herself. She liked this one. He was so much different.
That evening they spent the whole night on the roof of his loft.
Talking about their lives.
If the agency ever found out about this she could be reprimanded.
Some agents went missing forever.
But for some reason that didn't matter to her.
He was hers and she was his.
He asked her for her name.
She told him the truth.
Rachael.

Day 62
As she lost her mark a man approached her.
"Hi. I'm ..."
She just looked at him.
"You're kinda... are you allright?" he asked.
She looked dazed. Who was this man? To walk up to her. He wasn't pushy. He was different.
She looked into his eyes and could read him and then not at all.
He clearly wasn't a danger to him.
"I want someone to spend some time with." she said.
"I do too. I mean I'm hope I'm not too forward but. Can we get out of here?" he asked.
"Sure," she said.
This was the first man in a long time who didn't seem afraid of her.

Day 61
The club was crowded. People were dancing. The music was loud.
The couples were talking over the sound of the beat and each others attempts at love.
The rhythm was all she craved.
Men advanced and she retracted.
She wasn't interested in love.
She was interested in answers.
As she made her way through the crowd she saw her mark.
He was a handsome man.
As she went to pursue him she lost him in the crowd.
and this was the first time this had ever happened to her.
She wasn't interested in firsts.
Especially when it came to her and her career.

Day 60
The train station was just out of reach in the distance.
The man with the gloved hand said to her," Look if we don't make it out of this one give this to him."
He then reached into his jacked and handed her a flash drive.
"What is this?" she asked.
"This is what's going to save your lives." he said.
Just then she could make out the shadows of two cloaked figured and a road block which had led to the halt.
"I'll take care of these clowns." he said.
" I never got your name." she said.
"Agent 0880." he replied.
She was confused and at the same time for some reason knew exactly what he meant.

" I don't mean to startle you but I was sent here at first to kill you." the man with the gloved hand said.
"But I've changed my mind." he said and then smiled.
"You aren't going to hurt me?" She asked.
"No." he said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because you have looked after my boy." said the man with the gloved hand.
"Your boy?" she asked. "Is he your son?"
"Something like that." he replied.
"Look out." she said as the car came to a sudden halt.

Day 58
The man with the gloved hand took her through a series of allies and back roads on foot. He then opened a car door for her.
"After you." he said.
She got in. Not knowing this stranger but having seen the news reports she knew that in fact she was in danger.
Her life as a dancer was exciting in her eyes but not as exciting as this.
As the car spun out of the alley it became clear to her that her boyfriend was reaching out to her. He had to have been the one to send this man to protect her.
At least she had hoped.

"How do I express in words that which I cannot say?" she thought to herself.
The girl was still confused looking at her.
"I am not your mommy." she said with tears in her eyes.
"I know" the girl said.
Shocked an relieved she asked, "How did you know?"
"Please don't be mad at me. I found a file in your drawer when I was looking for my magnets and then I saw the pictures of the two people and I looked at the mirror and back at the pictures. Then back at the mirror and then back at the picture and that's when I knew. That I wasn't a reflection of you."
"I'm not mad darling but those people are dangerous you must never speak to them. Understand?"
"No!" She proclaimed. "They are my parents and I am their daughter!!!!"
"You are not my mommy!!!!!" she screamed.

Day 56
It was a rainny day. The raindrops matched her tears and confusion.
How do you explain to such a young girl that you are the one keeping her safe yet her secret can now no longer be safetly kept?
It was dangerous world and she wanted to keep her away from it.
It was painful.
It was dangerous.
It was her life.
But now it had become hers as well.

" I don't even know where to begin." she said with tears in her eyes.
She continued, "there are things that you don't know about me."
"What are you saying mommy?" the girl asked.
"I need you to be strong for me o.k.?" she trailed.
"O.K." The girl said in a state of confusion.
This was the "talk." The one which she never wanted to have.
She had raised her as her own but she was not her own.
She was just part of the plan.
The organization wasn't interested in protecting either of them.
Just itself.
