[Comprehensive British and American] How agents solve the single problem

55

Even though James Bond went out the window to chase Silva at the first time, he still told him to run away.

Percival sent Merlin and Phoebe to the headquarters, and the moment the car stopped, Merlin went straight to the command room.On the way back, he had already contacted Q, and the quartermaster of MI6 finally sent him part of the concealed information.

From task clearing to tracking clues, and communicating with Q, Merlin sat on his throne, and it was late at night again.

But busy work is not a big problem for Merlin, he is used to it, the biggest problem is the sentence that Parcival missed before he left.

Phoebe never disturbed Merlin's work, so the girl obediently stayed away from the command room when he was dealing with business. She even made a cup of coffee for Merlin before leaving.

And when Merlin finished the shower and lay down on the bed, it was already time for her to go to bed.

The day and night spent in the hands of Silva was really hard to bear, and the physical exhaustion was secondary, and more was the experience of pressure.But Merlin, who had returned to a safe environment, couldn't fall asleep. He looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but start to worry. If the explanation for this matter was not clear, would Phoebe think wildly and make trouble again?

You must know that there have been many twists and turns between them, and Merlin doesn't want to have any more incidents.

Just when Merlin was thinking about how to talk to Phoebe, the door of the study opened.

Before he had time to get up, a petite black figure rushed in at a terrifying speed, and squeezed onto Merlin's sofa bed without saying a word.

Who else but Phoebe?

The man was tall, and it was barely enough to sleep on the narrow sofa bed. With one more person, almost half of the girl's body was pressed against Merlin's chest.She was only wearing a petticoat, and hugged Merlin without even thinking about it. Her naked skin brushed against his neck, and the reassuring temperature and her anxious mood were conveyed without hindrance.

"I thought you were asleep, girl." Merlin's palm fell on the back of her head.

"No," Phoebe said sullenly, "I can't sleep."

"..."

Of course Merlin knew why she couldn't sleep.

It just so happened that 2 minutes ago he was still thinking about how to start this topic unobtrusively.

"About what Parcival said," he said calmly, "it's not what you think."

Merlin didn't mention it, but it was like igniting a precarious fire barrel.Phoebe stood up abruptly, her hand rested on Merlin's shoulder, and her blond hair hung down on her shoulder: "Merlin proposed to another lady?!"

Merlin: "Yes, but—"

Phoebe: "Merlin didn't even propose to me!"

Merlin: "..."

He laughed out loud.

"Okay, girl." Merlin brushed Phoebe's shoulder hair, and then stretched out his hand, "When you talked about similar issues before, your reaction was much calmer than this."

"No, no, not the same."

Phoebe grumbled aggrievedly.

The girl avoided Merlin's hand that was trying to pull her into his arms, with the light behind her back, unquestionable firmness and sadness were written in those gray eyes: "The lady who dated Merlin, the past is the past, but, but……"

"Do you think that lady from 20 years ago would shake your position if she showed up?"

"..."

She didn't speak, but Phoebe's expression gave Merlin the answer.

I don't know what kind of bloody drama of life and death parting, sadomasochism and love this girl imagined, but obviously, when he was struggling with how to explain, Phoebe also thought a lot with anxiety.

So Phoebe didn't give Merlin a chance to explain, she just looked at her quietly, and after a while, she asked in a very small voice, "No way?"

"She won't show up again."

"That's even worse!"

Phoebe raised her voice.

"Then, isn't she irreplaceable in Merlin's heart?"

"Phoebe," Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "it's really not—"

"I do not care."

She turned over, straddled Merlin's chest, and looked down at him: "The other ladies are just dating, but this, this is not, Merlin wants to marry her."

"What's the difference?"

The difference is huge, Merlin can have many dates, but only one can marry him.

"Her, isn't she beautiful?" Although Phoebe wanted to face the truth, she was too curious and couldn't help asking.

"It's beautiful."

"taller than me?"

"taller than you."

"Better in shape than me?"

"...It depends on which aesthetic you look at it from."

"That's better than me."

Speaking of this, Phoebe almost burst into tears: "Does Merlin think that she is better than me?"

Merlin's expression froze: "I won't compare any women together, this kind of statement is too disrespectful, girl."

Phoebe: "So she's just better than me."

Merlin: "Phoebe, you haven't asked her who she is."

"Then what is her identity?"

"CIA agent."

"Hey?"

The answer surprised Phoebe.

She blinked, and the tears that were about to come out were taken back in an instant.Phoebe showed a blank look: "A secret agent? Then how did you know each other?"

"A cooperative mission, it was very successful. Afterwards, she was assigned to London as a liaison officer. I became acquainted with her because of this," Merlin paused subtly, "We got along pretty well after that."

Sounds like a good start, but Phoebe is so perceptive, and when Merlin revealed her identity as a CIA agent, she had already realized something.

"and then?"

"Then we confirmed our relationship after we dated a few times. As Parcival said, I really liked her at the time, and she also revealed many times that she wanted to quit this business."

Talking about the past, Merlin was exceptionally calm.

"Because of this incident, I came up with the idea of ​​proposing to her, and wanted to invite her to live in London for a long time. Harry and the others helped me with a lot of ideas."

"But you didn't make it."

"Yes," Merlin said, "Because before I proposed, I found out that she approached me to steal information from me."

"..."

"So the Royal Secret Service and the CAI have not worked together for nearly 20 years, and until recently, Agent Sophie Cooper's kidnapping of a girl was the first case of renewed cooperation in 20 years."

Merlin, who told the story of the past, had a calm tone and a calm face, as if what he was talking about was just an insignificant trivia.

But Phoebe was stunned.

Before that, she had imagined many plots, such as the death of her former lover from a terminal illness, such as the plots of novels that could not be combined due to the concept of family status, but she did not expect that this past was indeed very dramatic, but it was not The one at eight o'clock, but a spy movie.

"So," said Phoebe in shock, "you're going to date those ladies from now on before you think about leaking?"

"There is no necessary relationship," Merlin responded, "but since I have learned from the past, I will still think about it."

At that moment Phoebe's eyes softened.

Her gray eyes were shining, containing many emotions, and Merlin felt a flame slowly igniting in his chest when he looked at it.Before he could continue, Phoebe said suddenly, "So Merlin doesn't want me and Q to make that agreement."

"……Yes."

"Merlin is afraid that I will leave you," her voice was as soft as a ghost, "I am afraid that the only girl who can be trusted will also stay away from you, and have a confidential gap with you, because your work distance is getting bigger and bigger."

"..."

Merlin closed his eyes.

"That's right," his voice was still calm, "and Phoebe, there will be no next time. I trust you, but my trust is not unlimited."

"So ruthless, Merlin."

No man would say this directly, telling his beloved girl that he would not tolerate her concealment many times, even if she was for him.

But that's what Phoebe likes about Merlin.

"I want to be an agent," she moved her hand slowly, caressing the man's cheek, "because Merlin regards this job as his responsibility, and I also want to be a useful person like Merlin."

I like him who is gentle, rational, and takes care of her carefully, but he also has a bottom line that cannot be violated; I like him sitting in front of the screen, holding a coffee cup, directing the agents to save the world with his burning eyes and a calm demeanor; I like him even more. When the opportunity was sent down, a brand new and ignorant girl appeared naked in front of him, but he said, no, girl, you have to see the outside world, you have to have an independent soul.

If Merlin didn't, he wouldn't be Merlin.

"I will not betray Merlin," she said seriously, "Merlin can't betray me either."

"Of course I won't."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again and took the initiative to grab Phoebe's waist.This time she didn't refuse.

The man turned his body sideways and picked up the petite girl from his body.His hand fell between her hair, and Merlin kissed Phoebe on the forehead. "Never, girl."

"..."

Throwing into Merlin's arms, Phoebe's mind suddenly moved. She snorted, then stretched out her fist and lightly hammered Merlin's shoulder: "It's still very angry, Merlin proposed to someone else, when will he propose to me?"

Merlin: "..."

Sure enough, she is still jealous, but I have to say that Phoebe looks very cute when she is jealous.

Phoebe: "Ah, you didn't answer!"

Phoebe is indeed Phoebe, no matter how much she becomes a qualified human being, the problem of overreaching is bound to be irreversible.

Merlin held down her pink fist and pretended to think: "Compared to proposing, I think we should focus on the present."

"Now?"

"Ah."

"What's - eh?!"

Before she finished speaking, the girl felt her body suddenly vacated.

Merlin turned over and hugged her from the bed into the air, the man's feet stepped on the ground: "Now, I don't think we need to sleep separately."

The author has something to say: Ah, this article feels like it’s coming to an end again. Sprinkle a few more chapters of sugar, and then get ready for a special episode after Silva is done.
