Chapter 40: In Which He Is James Bond

Alexander stepped out of his convertible after parking in the spot with his name on it, with a black briefcase in his hand, looking every bit as sharp in a dark navy suit which was a change from his usual black.

He exhaled out a heavy sigh as he peered at the fancy infrastructure of the Central Intelligence Agency.

'Let's do this' he told himself as he started taking long strides towards the building.

As soon as he stepped inside, he showed his identification and was cleared through security after a thorough procedure search.

"well it's about damn time" the familiar voice made him than around and halt in his steps before his lips lifted into a smirk.

"Good to see you too Ayesha" he greeted as she walked towards him with a smirk of her own.

Ayesha was glad to see her best friend back and the feeling was mutual on Alexander's side as well, especially after they had been apart in complete radio silence for the last eight months when he was assigned the mission and left.

Seemed like a lot had changed judging from Ayesha's round belly since they had last seen each other after they joined the CIA when they were discharged from any together.

"A lot has happened huh?" Alexander said referring to her belly and he couldn't help but think of Isla's wife her belly swell en with their baby and he was going to make it damn sure to do his very best to get her back.

"Well yea, I found the love of my life. His name is Sarim, he is a baker" she said, her ages all dreary as she thought about her lover.

Alexander wondered if that's what he looked like when he thought about Isla.

"That's great, I found someone myself too" he admitted, they told each other everything.

"You have to catch me up on a lot, where is the now?" she asked.

"It's very complicated. Where is the rest of the team? I'll explain everything to everyone together" he said and she nodded.

"I'll lead you to then, they are in the conference room, working over a cartel case" she said as she started walking with Alexander following right behind.

Fatima pushed in the conference room door and walked inside as Alexander followed her suit.

"Look who is back guys " she announced getting everyone's attention who was peering over a map from the looks of it.



After a string of happy Hi's and Hello's followed after that and Alexander told him what happened over the months everything about the cartels and Isla.

By the end of it, everyone looked at him as if he had grown two heads.

"You had an adventure. So this girl, Isla, the Gambino heiress She end game?" Ayesha asked as they all looked at him expecting an answer.

"She is the only one" he answered and they all smiled.

"And that is why, Lorenzo, I need you to cut me a deal for her," Alexander said, his face back to story business expression as he addressed their team leader.

"Christ, you gotta be kidding me, she is the heiress of the Gambino empire, I can't do that what if she later wants to get revenge?" Lorenzo said.

"Did you not just hear everything I told you about her? she is the most sweet and caring person, she doesn't have a vengeful cell in her body plus it would be wrong to throw her in prison just for belonging to the family, she never participates in their vile activities, she's innocent" Alexander reasoned making Lorenzo sigh frustratedly.

"I get it that you're in love with her but She is too much of a risk" Lorenzo retorted. Alexander was losing patience, there was no fucking way in hell anyone was throwing his girl in prison.

"I didn't wanna do this but if she doesn't get out of this no strings attached, I am not gonna disclose any of the evidence, it's protected by a very expensive firewall from china, it'd take you years to crack it if you can that is" Alexander said and Lorenzo gave him a harsh glare.

"Are you insane? you'd lose your job here, they might ever arrest you" Lorenzo told him.

"I don't care. She is it going to prison period. You can throw me in prison all you want, but for our friendship's sake grant me this and I'll owe you" Alexander's words were sincere.

Lorenzo maintained eye contact with him, contemplating what to do before he finally spoke.

"Fine. You owe me a lot and this evidence better be great" Alexander smiled and nodded his head in gratitude.

"It checks it out Alex" Alexander said handing him the briefcase fat contained all sorts of evidence from ledgers to money laundering with notes unaccounted for dug distributions and counters murder charges.

Alex opened the case and got out all the papers and hard drives containing all sorts of video evidence and went over it all along with the rest of the team.

Once they were done they all looked at Alexander with a huge grin on their faces.

"You know what this is?" Ayesha asked, it was rhetorical so they waited for her to answer.

"This is basically a ticket to make the USA a better and safer place to live. You have accomplished amazing stuff here Alexander, this will take down two major mafias and liberate six different states. You deserve a god damn medal" she said and Alexander smiled in gratitude.

He didn't want a god damn medal he just wanted his girl safe and sound with him and a happily ever after with her.

"That man, Richard Gambino had smelled out any spies we ever sent, this is a vid damn miracle, and don't worry about the people you had to kill, the state will issue you a pardon for everything," Lorenzo said, impressed.

"Yeah man, you're like James Bond with a license to kill" Alex commented making Alexander roll his eyes while the rest of them chuckled.

Gambino and Seigel were both going down.
