Hannie: leans against a rusty beam Guess what? I'm a spy! Surprise!
"I know." he doesn't seem surprised.
raises an eyebrow You do? Well, well, not many people know about my secret life. I thought you were just a simple guy, not some super spy. smirks How long have you known?
You're shitting me, right? A spy? Like James Bond shit?
she nods, a cheeky grin on her face Yep, just like Bond. Well, maybe not as suave, but I can hold my own in a fight.
No way. That's awesome! What agency?
grins Government. But don't worry, I can keep a secret.
leans in closer, lowering her voice And speaking of secrets... I've discovered something big. Something about my parents' death.
A spy? Really? That's...that's incredible, Hannie! Why didn't you tell me sooner?
chuckles You'd think that would be the first thing I'd mention, huh? But, let's just say the life of a spy isn't exactly a walk in the park. It comes with its own set of challenges and risks.
Hannie grins mischievously, leaning forward with a hint of excitement
Hannie: Yep, you heard me right! Your girl Hannie Caulder is a full-fledged spy! She leans back against the beam again, a hint of pride in her voice
No shit Sherlock. I figured it out when you saved my ass during that mission in Iraq.
she rolls her eyes Oh, so you're a smart one, huh? Well, I suppose I should've known you'd catch on eventually. It's not like I exactly tried to keep it a secret.
Hannie chuckles, crossing her arms
Hannie: Yeah, I know. Not exactly the kind of secret you expect to hear from a small-town Texan, huh?
really?? wow!!! i wish i had a power like that
smiles Don't worry, your time will come. But first, you gotta believe in yourself, kiddo. You got more potential than you think. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
I stand there silently taking it all in.
Hannie notices your silence and steps closer, her eyes scanning your face
Come on, say something. Don't just stand there like a statue.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you did, huh? And why's that?
Hannie grins and looks at you with a playful expression.
Hannie: Yeah, I know, it's pretty shocking. But don't worry, I'm still the same old Hannie you know and love. Just with a few extra skills now.
No shit? That's fucking awesome, Hannie! I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
laughs Well, it's not exactly something you can just casually mention over coffee, y'know? I only just found out myself, thanks to a little help from my friend here. gestures to the spy working undercover
Not so fast. You have something of mine first. I pull out a gun.
raises an eyebrow, amused
Is that supposed to scare me, or what? Go on then, shoot me.
yeah no shit Sherlock. I've known for years.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Then why are you acting so surprised now?
