TAG ALONG

I tried to walk through the airport like a normal human being, but yeah, then again, I'm not normal so..

Someone ended up bumping into me and fell backwards. But the worst thing was that, my first instinct was to get my gun out of the back pocket. 

On seeing that, the guy screamed pretty high pitched.. and tried to scurry away. But that ain't gonna help. I can't let this guy go, he'll probably tell on me. So me, being the wonderful agent I am, well.. hugged him?

Ugh. Ew. "Dude shut the f**k up for gods sake!! Or I swear I'll blow your brains out. I'm not that much of a hugging person. Be grateful!!!" 

"What..? Who..? Why…?" 

"Did the cat get your tongue or what?" 

He was pretty shaken up, and just stared at me with wide eyes at this point. 

"Where are you supposed to be now?" I asked, looking around to see if someone else noticed us. Fortunately,  not that many people were around. But it's a miracle no one noticed him even after that high pitched scream of his.

"Um.. United… I mean the U.S.A. My flight leaves in half an hour."

"Well, stranger, change of plans. You're coming with me." 

"With you? No way.. why would I do that?" 

I smirked and put my hand to my back pocket, where he obviously knew my gun was. 

"Okay.. okay geez calm down lady!!" 

"Lady? You have eyes or what dude? I'm a girl. Shut up." 

"But.. I have to go the U.S." 

"Well, I don't care. And by the way, your english is awesome!! Tag along, or my gun will do the talking." 

"Geez calm down, and thank you, I'm half American." 

"Oh hey half-American, I'm Olivia, half-American too." 

"I'm Huan." He said, with displeasure evident in his face. Well who wouldn't be angry at ya if you're basically kidnapping them?

"Uan?" 

"Hu-an" 

"Anyways, come along, and keep your mouth shut about my gun if you wanna live." I said, walking with my suitcase.

"But, won't they find out eventually? The metal detectors..?"

"I'll take care of that. You just have to silently tag along. Okay?" 

"Sigh.. okay. But all because a beautiful lady is asking me to follow her lead." He said, thinking he was a flirting prodigy probably.  But damn he was failing badly. 

"Don't push it Huan.. this lady may accidentally pull the trigger on your forehead. Beware." 

"Meanie." 

When he called me a meanie, I paused for a second. Meanie? What is he..? 8? 

"How old are you Huan?" I asked, turning to look at him, and in the process bumping into him again. 

But he quickly regained posture, to my surprise. 

"I turned 18, just yesterday." 

"18 huh? Why do you act eight then?" 

"It's just me I guess." He said with a shrug, and I decided to just ignore it this time. 

I sped up my steps and walked towards the checkers. I looked around, and noticed an agent-like guy looking for someone,  and that someone is probably me. 

As soon as I stepped near the metal checking doors, they beeped, and the guy turned to me. He nodded, but the lady with a metal detector held me down. But yeah, it was solved when the agent flashed his card to her. Huan on the other hand, had probably believed that he would be free to go after I got caught by the detectors. But to his bad luck, today just wasn't his day. 

I smirked as I picked my luggage and cat walked my way out with Huan and the agent. The agent who was assigned for me was from the chinese intelligence, and quite bulky. 

He even opened the door for me, but tried to stop Huan from entering. I tried to convince him that Huan was a friend in my broken Chinese, but Huan himself intervened and explained it to him. Woah. It was a good choice to bring this guy along.. he could be my translator. 

"What was that about?" Huan asked as he closed the car door. 

The Agent started the car, and I got comfortable soon. "Look, there are things you can't know right now, but let's say that I'm kind of an important person, and that guy is supposed to be my security guard?" 

"Okay..?"

Later on, I got to know through Huan that the name of my security was Li Bolin. 

Why would the Chinese intelligence agency send over a guy who doesn't know the least bit of English to help out an American agent? No one could know.
