Guilt. You felt that when you looked at him. You felt sorry that you couldn’t properly reciprocate everything he’s done for you. The helicopter was on its way to extract you, but in the meantime, you had to keep up appearances. That meant no raising suspicions and playing your cards right.
You braggingly shake the singular Uno card in your hand.
“No way, how’d you lose so many cards so fast?” Elias stared at his hand of cards, which was almost half the deck. You and he had bet on who was better at Uno, and unfortunately for him, this was your third win.
“Play your next card, Mr. Hoelter,” You say, confidently leaning back.
“I told you to stop calling me that… uh, the color is… blue.”
You glanced at the card in your hand, and your smile grew; it was almost like he was letting you win.
“I win!” You say, energy bright and innocent. He couldn’t be mad at you for winning when this is how you looked.
Any minute now. Another round of Uno would drive you insane. It’s time to end the games, that is, until you hear a noise.
Could it be them? Is it time for you to finally kiss Elias goodbye? You wondered as you tuned your ears to the sounds. Before you knew it, a bang hit the wall from the outside.
“What was that?! C’mon hide!” Elias whispers to you, holding your wrist. You keep the naive expression on your face, looking at him. He leads you to the other side of the couch, hiding behind its frame. The door swings open, hits the wall, then bounces back.
You close your eyes and take a deep breath, knowing what is coming. If only there were another way to do this. If only you could do your job without breaking your own heart. But that wasn’t your reality.
“Agent 831, you’re being extracted.”
Elias shoots you a concerned look and mouths, ‘Who?’ You look at him with pity and peek above the couch frame. Your eyes quickly dart back down to Elias, scanning his confused expression.
“Whatever you do, don’t stop me from moving,” You whisper to him, standing up confidently before he can agree to your orders.
“There you are. Before we leave, is the boy in here? We need to take him out before he snitches.”
You look at the floor, where Elias is hiding, watching your face harden. His expression made you sick; you could feel how betrayed he felt. If only he knew your assignment had nothing to do with him.
“No, he’s asleep in the other room. Any more noise from you and he’ll wake up.”
Elias frantically tugged on your pants, and you waited for your boss to leave before you addressed him.
Your attention went to him as soon as you heard footsteps getting further, “I wish we could be together, I really do, but with my line of work, it’s just not possible.”
Elias stood up next to you, getting close. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were wide with horror.
“You were a spy this whole time? Why didn’t you tell me? I thought we trusted each other with anything!”
“I couldn’t run the risk of anyone finding out. Look, I have to go, okay? I’m sorry.”
“Wait! One more thing, how long?” The shakiness in his voice broke your heart, but you had to keep your composure.
“I was supposed to stop the guy with the briefcase. None of this was supposed to happen, but I got so caught up in talking to you. If I were just quicker and sharper, I would’ve gotten to that briefcase before it got to us. I really didn’t mean to hurt you or your family, wrong place, wrong time.”
You put your hands on his chest to back yourself up, but he didn’t want to let you go. He tried reaching back out for you, but he could only get you by your waist.
“Please, don’t do this.” You could see him leaning in, and you wanted to give in to the temptation just as much.
“Agent!” You hear your boss bolt back in. When you turned your head, his gun was drawn and pointed at Elias.
Without thinking, you put your hands on Elias’ chest and pushed him to the ground, drawing your gun at him as well.
“Don’t worry, boss, I got it! Secure the transportation, I’ll be out of here before a clock tick.”
The tears coming from Elias’ eyes tugged at your heartstrings even more, but you couldn’t bring yourself to show it. You had to end this, and you had to set him free. You put your gun away, bending down to wipe his tears.
“I love you too,” He held your face with his shaky hands.
“You need to forget me so I can set you free.”
You went straight for the door, like he wasn’t even there anymore. You had hope he wouldn’t tell anyone what happened, but at the same time, what would he even say? It didn’t matter, though; it’s not like the name he knew you by was yours.
