I stood there on the perch, looking out over Section 1. I had done so many times before but tonight was different. Adam had turned 18 tonight. Ten years had it really been that
long? It seemed so much longer… but then time loses its swiftness when you have no one to love. Oh sure there had been flings, and their were my friends. The only group that I allowed to see me as other then Operations, those that had known me before that night. But since that day I had not truly loved. Not as I yearned for…
That day I had resigned myself to a life with out Michael. It was worth it Adam would be free, and contrary to what I had told my father. I would stay on in Section if only to ensure that father and son remained beyond Section’s reach. My father had played his last card though and in an act of love and repayment he had given me Michael. Later that day ; however I lost him too. In one day, by one selfless act I lost both of the men I loved. They had both loved me. My father showing me in the only way he knew how and Michael with his every action in those last days. He said there would be a day when Adam didn’t need him, but I know other wise and child always needs a parent. I knew it when he said it, but I agreed anyway.
“ I love you.” Those three little words I had longed to hear when spoken had sealed our fate. Michael walked out of my life. And I, I took that last act buried it deep and became Operations. “ I love you.” Those words had sealed my fate as Operations and my vow never to allow Section to harm them again.
A single tear ran down my cheek before I darkened the perch, no one could see my pain.
“ Sugar.” A gruff old voice called.
“ Walter what are you doing here? Why would you come back?” I had let Walter go into a real retirement years ago. All my operatives knew to allow him access to Section, if he ever came back. And he had Walter was never going to quit or leave his friends. The old man should be taking it easy but refused to stay at home. So I allowed him to come back to Section when he wanted. The operative that harmed him… died plan and simple.
“ Do you think I could let my Sugar be alone on a night like this? You might be the big and mighty Operations but to me your always my Sugar.”
“ Oh Walter!” I said and offered him my chair. He sat down and I sank to my knees beside him. Walter was the only person I could trust to be myself around. I placed my head in his lap and let the tears fall.
“ Let it out Sugar. Its time you let go.” He said drawing a soothing hand over my hair like you might a child.
“ God Walter I miss him so much! I’m tired, tired of being Operations, of killing, of being alone. “
