#mtf agent

“Ms. Ross! Ms. Ross! Momma!” Tammy woke to the words fizzling away as she woke. “Yavanna?” She asked sleepily hearing the child giggle and Jo’s tail thump against the bed. “Can I help you make waffles for breakfast?” The woman opened her eyes to see the little girl’s bright eyes pleading at her. It had been three days since her hospital visit and she had been such a sick little girl. Tammy had even considered calling Kandomere but hadn’t seen or heard from him since the night Yavanna came home and they... no, she pushed the thought out of her mind. She focused on the child, feeding the little girl broth and made sure she had her medicine and cool cloths for her fevers. “Hmmm... how are you feeling?” Placing her hand to small forehead she smiled, the fever hasn’t returned. “I feel better! And I’m hungry.” Tammy smirked and rolled over to see the time. “Yavanna, it’s 4 in the morning!” Just as she looked at the child, her small stomach let loose the grumble of a full grown hungry man. “Well, that settles it.” The woman laughed and grabbed the girl, pulling her close and tickling her. “No! Momma! No fair!” Both froze, Tammy’s arms pulling her into a hug. Hearing Yavanna call her momma made her feel so peacefully happy and complete. But she had to focus, a lot of children in her classroom have called her momma from time to time. “It’s okay. I’m not trying to take her place, I just want to be someone you can count on.” The little girl wrapped her arms around her neck and without words being spoken the woman knew just what this child needed. “If you want to call me ‘momma’, you can.” Yavanna pulled back with a face splitting smile. “Let’s make some waffles momma! I’m hungry!” As the little girl yelled joyfully the excited German Shepherd joined in with a howl. “How can I say no to you two?” With giggles the two left the bedroom for the kitchen with a happily grunting Jo following them.

“So, there isn’t much information on our agent. That’s interesting.” Reiner took in Ravian and Odan as they knelt in front of him. Odan spoke lifting his eyes to his superior, “He is an elf whom decided many years ago that all races should know justice, not just his own. Word from our sources say he had hunted Layla for 20 years, maybe more. A disgrace to all elves.” A deep chuckle filled the dark room. “Perhaps we need to look elsewhere than these sources. There is information all around us, knowing where to look is key.” He stood leaving the two to look out the window at the view of Elf Town.

Ravian lifted her head, “Have you heard from the Owl?” He scoffed at the female’s question, “No. Like chess we must be calculated in our moves or we will find ourselves corned. Though I am rather frustrated with the lack of information coming in.” He turned to face the couple, “Stand my kin.” Both stood and waiting for his orders. “Make contact with the woman who has my offspring. Gain her trust. Find out what you can about this elven agent. Do not attempt at taking the child, this is delicate and if our hand is tipped to early all will be for not.” Both nodded their understanding. “Do not make me regret this decision.” “Never.” With that the two left the room without a word being spoken until they were alone in their vehicle. “Why must we wait Odan. We can easily overpower the human woman and take the child.” He took a deep breath, he was confused as well but he also knows Reiner has been around a very long time. “No. He knows what he is doing. He’s here while others have failed.” She nodded and they headed home to rest before making contact with their target.

Just as Kandomere’s lips claimed Tammy’s his phone rang. Pulling away he pulled it out of his breast pocket and answered curtly. His eyes never left hers as he listened for a moment and answered with a “Fine.” That look was one she knew all to well, “Duty calls.” With a small smile she adjusted his tie. “I’ll keep you updated. Get some rest, Yavanna will be a sleep for a while with the medicine. Lock the door when I leave and do not open it for anyone. Do you understand?” The look she gave him showed she did so he walked past her to the kitchen to get his jacket. “I will keep you updated. I promise.” With that he opened the door and left leaving Tammy alone in the living room drowning in her thoughts of the worst. She turned out the lights one by one and entered her bedroom to feel how lonely it was now. He kissed her. Her friend, the elf agent who had been helping her with Yavanna had kissed her. Her lips still tingled from the warmth of his but his actions after taking the call filled her with confusion. She hasn’t thought of pursuing any relationship besides friendship with Kandomere. How could she? An elf even as just as Kandomere wouldn’t. Would he? Tammy turned out the light and crawled under the covers letting the exhaustion take over. Her thought of if she had locked the door was drowned out by the thick blanket of sleep.

Across the city in one of the oldest mansions sat an elf, Reiner. He, along with 10 others were in a large dining room surrounded by the most elegant of furnishings. The silence would be deafening for any human but this was the setting the male preferred. Silent patience. He paid no mind to others at the moment but his sense could still detect their loyalty to him. The infernie took a hard hit with Layla’s wand being taken by the mtf but there was still a chance at getting the upper hand. Reiner’s bright green eyes stayed closed yet focused. He could see them all sitting around him, his right hand, Erwinian sat in the chair on his right reading the paper. Next to him sat his brothers, Armin and Lakin. Finally Ryker took the last seat on that side of the table. To Reiner’s left was Davi and his brother Mando. Followed by Lanakin and Ginji. Odan and his wife Ravian sat in a love seat against the wall the door was at. Yes, their loyalty will be used to it’s fullest. His thoughts were interrupted by his phone chiming. Looking nothing short of bored he answered, “Reiner.” His expression giving nothing away with his answer to whom ever was on the other end of the call. “Very good.” Ten pairs of eyes turned to him as his deep voice broke the stagnant atmosphere. He sat the phone down and addressed his company. “It seems we’ve had a bit of unexpected delay.” At speaking he stood, his presence commanding attention. “My offspring has been seen at an elven hospital. Striking now would only jeopardize her health. We wait a little longer. The Owl will give us the signal.

“I still do not trust this... individual. It’s as if we are being stalled purposely.” Sneered Ravian. She as well as her husband have become impatient with this situation. Reiner focused his eyes on her, “Patience is key when the Dark Lord is concerned. Practice that my dear. You as well Odan.” Both nodded, accepting the mild scolding from their superior. “However..” Reiner continued, “I understand the urge. I want you both to use this energy to find out what you can on the agent over seeing this human and my offspring. Find out what he knows but do not engage.” Odan and Ravian stood bowing their heads to him. Erwinian then spoke, “Reiner, this agent is skilled. He...” Reiner raised his hand cutting his second in command off. “I have spoken.” Erwinian bowed his head respectfully and the couple left to start their mission.

Tammy entered Yavanna’s room and felt her forehead. She had been coughing all night and now she feels like she’s burning up. “Come on honey, wake up.” The child rubbed her eyes sleepily before having another coughing fit. Tammy grabbed her phone and looked at Kandomere’s number, she wasn’t sure if she could call him. He’s been so good at keeping an eye on her and Yavanna all while he’s working. She pressed his number without realizing it as Yavanna had a another coughing fit. She could hear his voice over the phone and put it to her ear, “Kandomere, she’s burning up and her coughing is getting worse. I just didn’t know if the ER would treat her because she’s half...” He cut her off, “I’ll meet you at the Elvin ER. Get her there now. I’ll call the agent on surveillance and have him escort you.” He hung up before she could say thank you.

“Come on bug, Let’s get you to the car.” Tammy wrapped her in a blanket and as she walked out the front door she told Jo to watch the house.

Finally getting her in the car, the agent came around and asked if he could help with her. Tammy told him she was already in so he jumped in his vehicle and they sped to the hospital. Yavanna’s coughing was getting worse, Tammy was torn in between staying behind the agent or speeding around him. Before she could make the decision her phone rang. “Bring her through the ER doors, the doctors are ready for her.” Yavanna began coughing again, this time sounding as though she was gasping for breath. “Yavanna, hold on baby. Just listen to me, take a breath and breathe out. 1,2,3, breathe in and breathe out, 1,2,3, breathe in and breathe out.” Kandomere listened as Tammy calmed the child’s fit and regain getting steady breaths. He was amazed at how much control she had over the situation. “I see you pulling in, I’ll get her out of the car.”

Yavanna was laughing with doctor as he made funny faces at the blue haired agent. It was a relief to hear her, to know she could breathe. Tammy giggles and pull the child closer to her. Kandomere turned and caught the doctor in mid act, only moving his eyes to Yavanna who now had a ‘You’re busted’ look on her face. “All games aside, she is going to be okay? This was only a mild attack?” The doctor, now knowing he would live, nodded. “Yes, the pollen count has been high and with her being a half bree... half human her bronchial tubes are more susceptible to becoming inflamed causing an asthma attack.” The little girl looked up at Tammy as she kissed her head and followed her eyes to Kandomere. She smiled a toothy smile and reached out her arms, “Kandy’er!” The agent smiled and picked her up asking if she felt better. Tammy couldn’t help but notice how tired he looked, the bags under his eyes darker than ever. Guilt weight on her for calling but she was relieved he was there.

“Alright little one, you can go home.” The doctor said as he came in. Yavanna giggles and yelled as the doctor gave Tammy the discharge papers and prescription. “Thank you doctor.” The nice funny doctor was now gone, he stared daggers at her and turned on his heels walking away reminding her of the racism between elves and humans.

Kandomere placed Yavanna in her seat and turned to Tammy. “Don’t look that way. I told you to call me for anything.” She looked away to the little girl before looking back to him, “You look so tired. I just didn’t know where I could take her.” He brought his palm to her cheek and traced it with his thumb. “Let me drive you home. I’ll catch a ride with the agent back here to my car.” She didn’t argue and gave him the keys. “Thank you. For everything.”
