Ex KGB Bell - Tumblr Posts

This is my first fanfic post on here. I'm not sure how long it'll be.

Protocol 19

What if Bell isn't dead?

"Heros have to make sacrifices. That's why when I ask you to make one more, I hope you understand..." He said.

Then he shot me.

The last thing I remember is a sharp pain and falling.

"Shhh, Bell, the job's done." He said.

The world went dark.

CHAPTER 1

"Late night again, Catie?" Helen said

"Well, we can't all have glamorous journalism careers, can we?" Catherine said, turning to her sister.

"Still, I can't believe you actually enjoy working at the pub."

"I enjoy meeting new people," Cate said

"And getting into fistfights with them, apparently.

"Well." Cate shrugged with a laugh. "It's a living."

"And on that note, I'd best get to bed. Big football game tomorrow, Charlie scheduled a double shift"

The next night, the pub was bustling. It was almost standing room only as rival soccer teams played a championship match.

"Oi, Catie!" Charlie yelled in his thick London accent. Table in back 'asn't been served yet."

" Alright, Charlie," said Cate as she poured beers for the patrons at the bar, then swiftly turned to grab a pen and pad of paper before heading to the table.

" 'Ello loves, what is it tonight for ya?"

She approached the table where three men sat. One with combed back and graying dark brown hair, stress etched on his face. One with slightly spiked black hair, grey in his trimmed but still bushy moustache and beard, and anger in his eyes. The last had a shaved bald head, aviator sunglasses and a scowl.

"Stop being such a sourpuss Hudson, we're here to celebrate." The one with the moustache said.

"A celebration, eh." Said Cate. "What's the occasion?"

The one with the slicked back hair gestured toward the one called Hudson. " Our friend is one month sober." he said happily.

" I hate you both." Hudson said through girted teeth.

"In that case, welcome to the Drake and Clover. I'm Cate, and the first round is on me." She said before turning to attend to her other tables.

After a few moments, the men flagged her down and decided on a couple of beers and a scotch-less scotch and soda.

" I heard this place had some fucking delicious fish and chips." Said Frank.

Cate laughed. "Best this side of the Thames."

"We'll take three." Said Alex.

"You lads are my favorite table tonight."

-----‐------------------------------------------

Closing time came faster than Cate expected. It was a good night. Her favorite team had won their match, and she made out like a bandit on tips tonight, not to mention she'd also gotten a cute guy's phone number. Being on cloud nine was an understatement.

"Helen, I have wonderful news." Cate said, as she danced her way into the flat they shared.

"She's home now, yes just walked through the door." She heard Helen whisper into the phone. "Alright then, be ready." She immediately hung up when she heard Cate call her.

"What was that about?"

"Nothing, dear, just catching up with some old friends. What was is you said about wonderful news?"

"I can finally pay my half of the rent." Cate excitedly said, as she pulled out the wad of cash and counted out the bills. "200 quid...in advance, you won't have to pay my share too this month." She said with a wide grin.

"Oh! That is wonderful," said Helen, hugging Cate.

But she didn't let go. "I hope you understand," she whispered as she stabbed Cate in the neck with a needle.

A sharp pain and falling...

Catherine stumbled off the sofa, letting the money she held cascade from her hands.

"Wha' fa?" she slurred out, while holding her neck. The room seemed to spin faster and faster by the minute. Then, to her amazement, the men from the Pub entered.

She tried to say, "A'yeesh, F'ank, Yushnin' wha'?" as she crawled to safety.

"I hope you know what you re doing," said Hudson

"Do you have any better ideas?" asked Woods.

" Stop squabbling, we have more pressing matters," said Helen, kneeling by the now limp woman on the floor.

"BELL, WE HAVE A JOB TO DO."

The world went dark.
