“What are the watch dogs doing here?” I asked Amanda.

“Don’t call them that.” She replied.

“I don’t care, to me all of you are watch dogs, you don’t even know what you’re doing.” I hissed.

“They’re here for you!” She sighed.

So indeed I was right, the watch dogs found out the location of my beloved, and I had to think of the plan fast, in order to cover myself and keep him out of danger that was about to happen. We walked through the doors of the police department. Mr. Green was talking to the men from CIA and FBI, as soon as they seen me walking through the doors the room got silent, I could hear myself breathing and how blood was drumming against my ears, for some reason I felt like a fox driven into a dead end and I was looking at hunters and their dogs, now I am the prey and they are the predators, that was an awful thought that came to mind. I could feel that my legs were getting limp, my whole body, this is not good I started counting and as soon as I got to ten I felt that this is going to be a fiasco, the lights turned off and I fainted, I fell in front of the predators, the prey has lost, this once I have lost all, I thought as my head hit the floor.

“Wake up sunshine!” Yelled Mr. Green, slapping me and spitting water on my face.

I opened my eyes and looked around, they were standing around me, the Chief of FBI and CIA, looking, judging me.

“You good?” Mr. Green asked. A hint of worry was in his voice.

All I could do was nod, I took the cup that Mr. Green handed me and took a sip. I felt better, maybe it’s not as bad as it all seemed to me in the first place, it was all in my head, the demons talking, the fact that I was afraid. I got up and with the help from Amanda and Mr. Green walked to the conference room, where the meeting was held, the lights were off and the projector was on showing my face and Andreys’ face, and the location, he was back in Russia, it all made sense now why he has contacted me and told me that we will soon meet. The pieces of the puzzle seemed to come together, and the reason Green wanted me to make my way into the police department, why those people were here, it all dawned on me, Andrey decided to take the game to a whole different level now, the show must go on, and each of us play a part in it, but this time I’m not the bad guy, I need to rescue not only myself but his as well from drowning. This whole game just got harder than I’ve planned I didn’t want to be the pawn in chess, but this chess piece can change when it reaches the end off the board of the opponent, this is going to be hard game but we need to win it if we want to survive, and it seems that he was telling me the truth when he said that he was framed, they found a boy to mess with but they didn’t know that their plan would not work out.

“We’re meeting here because we have found Andrey, he’s in Russia.” the CIA agent said, looking at me hungrily.

“Also it came to our attention that Darya had been talking to him and knew his whereabouts but didn’t say anything to the investigators, so the investigation couldn’t go on.” He continued.

I looked at him giving him the most dumbfounded face that I could have given at the moment, I was happy that they couldn’t find him for three years and he was still free, he wasn’t in prison or even worse killed. On one hand I was happy on the other anxious. I looked at him and he started blushing and looked away. I stared right through him, and I was glad that I could lie to them so well, even though they say they know how to read body language. I was faster and more sly than them. I won this race for a moment and gave some time to my beloved to finish the things that he had to do.

“We want her to work with us but how can we trust her?” the CIA agent continued his rant.

I looked at him and smiled wickedly and decided to speak up for myself and keep my honor holding my head up, I felt like a queen, I was ahead, but I had to keep my cool in order not to give myself away, the game is still on and we need to keep it together if we both want to be free and alive.

“Sir, I am sorry for what I have done, but there were no ill intentions I promise.” I said.

He looked  at me as if I put cyanide in his tea and he drank it and I told him that it was poisoned only after he took a sip. I have you up my sleeve. I took a deep breath and remembered all the things that happened to me to make myself cry and continued on my rant.

“I am a scared, and tricked woman, I love him and I am sure that he didn’t do the things that you are accusing him of, I swear he’s not a bad guy.” I cried.

Hot tears were streaming down my face and Mr. Green gave me a handkerchief to wipe my tears and blow my nose into. The CIA agent gulped loudly, now I have you, I am powerful and I am over you. I started to shake, I wanted to laugh, skip and dance but I couldn’t show it, cold head, cool mind, I need to continue with what I learned to do, I need this. They almost walked into my trap, I need to keep going. I need to win this chess game. I ought to, not for me, but for my relationship and to escape the juror and life in prison. I sobbed loudly I couldn’t keep it straight any longer the thoughts of how Andrey and me fought hit me like cold water and I started to bawl I couldn’t stop, I remembered all the fights that we have had and the fact that we were married, we actually got married in Russia and I brought him here, I gave birth to our son and we were happy, until we decided to move, I convinced him to move here, I wanted us to have a happy life and for a while we did, we both worked the child was healthy and happy, until we moved here and he met that guy. I'll never forget him or his face. After a long day we left our son Damon with Alex. And went to a bar where we met Mr. Hendrich. He was an interesting man, he looked like an ordinary man, nothing special. He offered Andrey a job, he spoke very horrible English but understood, he stuck him into some office where there were documents and he wanted him to translate into Russian and send them overseas. I remember the conversation that they had one of the nights that he came over.

“Andrey, you’re a good man, and I am happy that you are working for me.” Mr. Hendrich said, smiling his huge white smile.

“We don’t want anything bad happening right?” he continued.

All Andrey could do is nod. Now I understand why Dameon didn’t like him. I wasn't fond of him either. Soon after that conversation Andrey started coming home late, or bloody and beat, I was frightened that they would kill him. I begged him to stop but he said they paid well so we had to work together on this. Then, one of the businessmen who was part of the corrupt system, and after that Andrey disappeared. I cried and screamed scaring Dameon so I asked Alex to take him for a while. I didn't want to traumatize him with the way I was acting. It was scary enough. Amanda came a week after that accusing me of being a spy and she lost her job. I went through investigations and interrogations and after they found that I know as much as they did, they left me alone. They saw another thing in me though, I was able to connect to people and make them talk. So god knows why, this is still a question that hasn’t been solved for me. They hired me to work for them and I made twice as much money than I did before. And after a year passed Andrey decided to tell me where he is and that he’s in trouble and I had to help him. And once again the issues with everyone started once again. Great.
