Agent Grey

I’m hiding in a tree, my weapon ready to be aimed. I hear my intercoms crackle to life.

“6:00. That’s your target.”

I nod and immediately put the sight on my weapon on you. I aim and prepare myself to fire. But then your face comes into view. That… can’t be right. Dammit. I lower my weapon. My intercoms crackle again.

“Agent Grey, take the shot…. John. John what are you doing?!”

I hop down from the tree and begin approaching you.

“I’m going for a more direct approach.”

I can hear the person on the other side of my intercoms muttering about 23 being too young to go rogue. I ignore them. The closer I get to you, the more you look like someone familiar. Like someone special to me. I can’t do this… I can’t complete the mission. I sigh and approach you in a friendly way.

“Hey, Kid. I’m John. What’s your name?”
