Charles is a smart man. He has a reason behind every decision he makes because he is always one step ahead.However, I'm not sure why he put me on an assignment with Logan. He must know that there is tension between us. He tried to get me fired. Of course, it actually turned into a very nice promotion, but nonetheless, the intent was there. He actually seemed upset that I was there in the meeting. I now believe he simply wanted my job.
Searlait and Patrick will be joining us in Saudi Arabia as we get the terrorist Charles wants. It will go fine because we are all professional. Hopefully Logan can put aside any harbored feelings against me so that we may work together and get this accomplished quickly. I was happy to hear that Charles did not assign Searlait to the abduction. Women are not appreciated much in those cultures, so I would not have wanted her in the middle of things. I would never tell her that, of course, because she is one of the best agents in faucon du soir, and she very well can take care of herself. However I still wish it was Patrick partnering with me instead of Logan. This should be interesting indeed.

This certainly is a little twist in the situation.
The assignment went over well and we were able to capture the prisoner and bring him to France. We left the hood on and put him in an interrogation room to wait for Charles. When Charles arrived, we began the questioning. However, it turns out this prisoner, this high-risk terrorist, is nothing more than a boy. I suppose he is not actually a boy, seeing as how he is 18, but compared to the people we are used to seeing, that is quite young. It was like pulling teeth getting him to answer our questions, but he finally did. I am still slightly shocked that we are dealing with an eighteen-year-old. I was not expecting it, and I don't think Searlait and Charles were either. I will have to do some more research on him and his family to see what we can use to make him talk.
I have some suspicions he knows Malakai Aronovich, and if we can get Ataullah to reveal his location and names of other associates, we will be able to shut down the operation. If he doesn't talk, we will have to try other tactics. Whether it be deception by letting him befriend a supposed prisoner and hoping that he drops some information, or it could be the use of force. But hopefully after isolation, he will be willing to talk. I hate to think we would have to bribe him and reach a deal with him, but that might be the case.

((seareid chronicles hehe))
I had a new partner for the assignment last night, which is always tough. When you're unaware of a person's tactics and personality, it can make it harder to work together. I figured it out pretty quickly though. It was a female agent, Agent Beaumont. I have not heard much about her, but she's not interested in getting to know her fellow agents. I attempted to get to know her, at least get a grasp of her background and what her specialty was, but she was unwilling to engage in any sort of conversation. The agents of this organization are the best of the best, and when I'm in a bind, or if I am on an assignment with someone, I like to know their strengths and at least be on good ground with them. That's important. You never know what will happen, and you need to network in this organization and get to know people.
Case in point: she got herself in a hostage situation last night. Now, I'm not saying it makes her a bad agent, because I can tell she must be pretty talented. But it just goes to show that you have to be on good terms with your partner and be able to trust them. She wants it kept out of the report, which I'm willing to do. She wasn't harmed. Of course, now Mr. Hainsworth wants to speak with me. I am still a little nervous about speaking with him. I respect him a lot though, and I have certainly been able to relax a little, but he is my boss. An agent never really knows what will happen when they walk into Charles Hainsworth's office. I will have to be prepared.

We are continuing our investigation with the terrorist groups in Saudi Arabia. Searlait was able to confirm Aronovich's involvement, so we are able to go about finding him at full force. He seems to have droppe off the map, but we're being diligent. He might be smart, as a former agent, but we're smarter. We have the resources to find him, we simply need to gather them and hit Saudi Arabia hard. Of course, there is the possibility that he has left Saudi Arabia. We will continue to keep on top of it. I am sure Charles, myself, and Searlait would like to see him go down in front of our very eyes. Capturing Aronovich would be a highlight of the year and I'm certain that it will happen.

We are preparing to leave for Saudi Arabia shortly. Logan and I will be flying there with the younger Ataullah brother, Karam. It was a change of plans, yes, as we had originally planned for Aqil to come with us and confront Malakai while we ambushed him. Somehow Malakai found out that we had Aqil and his family and has issued threats against faucon du soir. Therefore, we had to change plan immediately. We think Karam can pull it off, at least we are hoping that he can. We should be back to France shortly, with Malakai in custody.
Searlait will be staying here with Aqil so that they may be in constant communication with us during this assignment. I wish that Searlait was coming with us, but part of me knows she will be much safer here. This is a dangerous mission. Malakai will be prepared for anything. If you had told me a year or so ago that Logan and I would be on this mission, I wouldn't have minded. We were partners, and good friends, or so I had thought. Ever since the situation in California and my relationship with Searlait being exposed, he has quickly changed sides to acting as my enemy instead of a former partner. I am not sure of the reason of the change. I get the impression that he would be eager to see me fail though. That does not settle well with me. If something does happen with Malakai and I am in a bind, I think Logan would let Malakai kill me, or do it himself, and then go back to Charles and tell him that he did everything he could do to save me. I am going into this assignment alone with the people I do trust thousands of miles away

((seareid chronicles!))
I respect faucon du soir. I respect the policies they have in place and I understand the worst case scenario they had in mind when formulating those policies. I've been around the other female agents. There is a purely professional, business relationship among us and nothing more. And that is how things started when I was originally partnered with Searlait.
Lately though, I have had unprofessional feelings towards her and, apparently, she has returned those same feelings. Things accumulated in Germany, I suppose. I can say I was rather shocked by Charles' announcement that she had requested reassignment. She had not mentioned a thing to me about this. Part of me wondered if I had go too far when we were dancing with each other at the party. I went to see her. She's...I can't explain it properly. We both feel the same about each other and the only thing stopping us is the faucon du soir policy against coworkers dating. I can understand...things can get messy if both are working together or even if the relationship ends. But Searlait and I are both extremely professional and would not let our feelings for one another interfere with an assignment. Besides, I have a new partner now and she is going to California. We're two of the best agents in this organization. We'll be able to keep our cover. That's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to give this a shot and keep our cover. I would never have forgiven myself if I did not at least give this relationship a chance.

Searlait and I are married now. It is nice to finally say that. I doubted that it would every happen, to be honest. Things were just not playing into our hands. Things kept being pushed back and we were both extremely busy with important assignments. But here we are, married and enjoying our honeymoon in Greece. It is nice to go somewhere without an assignment. I don't think I've ever just gone somewhere without reason. It's different, but nice. Don't get me wrong, I love my work and I don't plan on retiring from that any time soon. It's just nice to enjoy this with her. She deserves it. Greece is wonderful and we've gone to the heart of the Greek island, delving into the spots the locals go and the tourists don't know about. It's lovely.
I suppose I cannot put off writing about my father and sister attending the wedding. I cannot seem to really put into words how I feel. I have been trying for days and it will not come out as well as I would like. Just know that I am extremely happy to have had them at my wedding. Understand that it has been quite some time since I have seen them. Nine years for my father. It's been that long since I've even spoken with him. I saw him at Abigail's wedding six years ago, of course, but I was only there for a brief moment, standing in the back to watch the ceremony, leaving a gift, and then on my way to another assignment. We just never kept in touch. He was traveling, moving from one location to the next without so much as a word after only a few months. But that is no excuse, I know. We both know that, actually. We had breakfast together on the morning of the wedding and caught up with everything. I think we'll be staying in better touch for now on. I called him while in Greece and he actually seems to be enjoying Auvernha. He's made a new friend in Searlait's father, Felix. I'm glad to see them getting along. He's under the impression, with the rest of them, that I'm working with the UN now and he seems to be happy about that. He thinks that will help me not work as often. He has gotten better about the work issue though--he knows I'm able to split my time and concentrate on other things as well. He likes Searlait and so does my sister. This has just been a blessed week, I suppose. Marrying the woman I love, catching up with my father and sister, enjoying every detail of a beautiful country...it's been good.

I might have spoken too soon about Searlait and I enjoying our honeymoon. We had to end the trip in Greece to get back to headquarters. Charles called me and said it was an emergency. You can imagine how I felt, having to tell Searlait we would need to cut our honeymoon short to get back. Part of me wanted to tell Charles no, that we would be back when we had orginially planned. Afterall, the agency has many qualified agents who can fill in. However, when he mentioned that Sean Lewis was involved and it was more than the prince's life at stake, I knew I couldn't just refuse his request.
So we are now back in Auvernha. Immediately upon returning, Searlait was requested to go to California to pick up a list from the Human Genome Project. I suppose this is all expected. We knew our jobs would go on even after we were married, and we knew the time commitment it took, even the possibility of being separated for a number of weeks, or even months at a time. It was just a day trip, her going to California, but I realize that she would get reassigned at any moment and it might be another country entirely. I have faith that we can work through this though.

Because of my recent work in the field and my years with faucon du soir, Charles and the rest of the council have given me an extremely generous promotion. As of Monday, I will be the Chief Executive of Homeland Security, which involves the terrorism defense department. I will no long be in the field, which I'm sure will be something I will have to get used to, but I will be responsible for running the assignments, creating strategies, and training agents. It's such an honor to get this opportunity. Of course, this also means that Searlait will no longer be my partner, unfortunately. I enjoyed being able to see her more, to work with her. She will be getting a new partner. She'll do fine, and if she has any assignments dealing with homeland security, I will still be working with her. She was right about the promotion. She had mentioned it before, telling me how her father had once worked close with Charles before being promoted. I suppose I didn't want to get my hopes up too much. Any sort of promotion within this organization is an honor. Just being apart of it is an honor. I'm eager to get started and learn from the former head of the department.

I told Logan that Charles was a good judge of characters, and I was not lying. He is. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of every agent in this organization, and he is able to pick out the strengths and weaknesses of new recruits with no problem. I only hope that he is right about this assignment and Recruit Araxie Ferrari. Yes, it might make her stronger, and yes she might not have any qualms about her past as a slave in Africa, but what if she does? This mission, the very first assignment, could break her. The damage could be years of psychological counseling and therapy. Recruits have broken down before just because of the frustration with the assignment. Let's hope she is stronger than I give her credit for.
She will have Recruit Daemon Scarselli with her and Zoey *last name*. She some seem to get along quite well with the former. Perhaps too well. While watching them, I knew they were good friends, but I did not expect them to be involved. It must be a recent development. Hopefully they will learn that the behavior they are engaging in is not tolerated here, especially between agents.
I suppose I am not one to talk, however. We have kept our professional demeanor though, never letting it show when we are at headquarters or around others. Only in private. Of course, it is easier since she is currently postioned in California, USA. Still, they will need to learn that Charles will not tolerate them making an unprofessional atmosphere in here.

Things have gone astray.
I authorized Logan, Ara, and Seth to put suviellance in Dr. Shroeder's condo, unknowing that they would also take the liberty of bugging Searlait's apartment as well. I did not give them that liberty. Yes, Seth approached me about certain concerns, but I assured him that I would handle it. They went against my wishes and my word and had her apartment bugged.
Needless to say, they now know about our relationship. I'm angry about how they found out about it, and that Logan threatened to call Charles about the situation. My job is now up in the air. Logan is holding it in his hands, and his decision could decide my future.
I love my job at faucon du soir. I enjoy being an agent. Yes, I work a lot, but it's a respectable job, and highly regarded. But I also care about Searlait very much. I love her. However, with us both being agents, that makes it very difficult. Here lays the problem. Either way, I'm going to want to continue seeing Searlait. Not once has it hindered an assignment or my job, nor has it hindered her job. We've kept things professional at all times when we're not in private. If Logan tells Charles, I know I'm going to be dismissed. I'd rather Searlait keep her job, and I will fight for that. We can still be together, and we can even move forward with our relationship. I would find a job elsewhere. If Logan does not tell Charles, I'm still going to be tempted to continue. However, that might push him to tell.
I'm just unsure of what to do right now. I think I might have said some wrong things last night. Searlair didn't seem happy, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I was trying to save both of our jobs last night, by convincing Logan to rethink his decision of calling Charles. Was it a mistake?

Logan spoke with Charles about the policy violation. However, I never expected it to turn out the way it did. I thought Charles would dismiss me, be disappointed with the way I held myself and how I violated faucon du soir policies.
But that didn't happen at all. In fact, instead of dismissing me, he promoted me. I am now a... superagent, as he put it. I hate to use the term, since it reminds me of some fictional cartoon. But, to everyone else, I will no longer be an agent for FDS. I will be a worker for the United Nations, which in itself, is not a bad job. But, to Charles and the eight members of the Committee, I will be an undercover agent, still doing assignments and top projects as they see fit. I am amazed and truly thankful.
The only difficult part in this process is keeping up the charade that I've just been fired from my job. I thought I would blow it in front of Searlait last night. Perhaps I was too positive. I will need to put on the act that I was fired and am now left to work with the UN. I can't help but enjoy this though. I hate seeing her feel bad and feel as thought it is her fault. But we can now be together. Charles agreed with me when I told him that I had never let it affect my job. I am thankful for that. And for this opportunity. I can be with Searlait, and I am second, only to the Committee and Charles himself. It's an honor I never expected to receive.
We have 30 days to ourselves. Searlait has been suspended for that amount of time and I will receive my first assignment a week following. I have suggested visiting her parents, which we are. Perhaps then we will just take sometime to spend together. Never had we had this amount of time to ourselves and to just be together. It's an amazing feeling.
I can't wait to start my new assignment and career within faucon du soir. This is a new adventure, and I will show the Committee that they were not wrong in choosing me for this endeavor. And I will be able to spend time with Searlait... which is an honor in itself.

It is difficult to handle the idea that the person you love doesn't trust you. When Searlait told me that she was worried about me being part of the Communist party, then showing me the pictures and information that she had received from a fellow agent, I was shocked. I had thought she would be the one person to trust in the decision that I make. I can't say that I blame her, of course. Faucon du soir has taught us to not trust appearances, to use your instinct. I suppose I just never thought I would be on the receiving end of that. I explained to her that it was part of my UN cover, part of my job to learn more about their decisions and their ethics so that I might report back.
I proposed to her last night before all of that came out. I love her and I know I'll put it past us in the future. But it was still hard to handle. Does she really trust me? Will she trust me in the future? I went for a run early this morning. I suppose that it helped. I know I can put it past us. I have to. I'm not willing to go any longer without her in my life. For better and for worse. It was a decision she made that any good agent would have made, including myself. She said that she contacted faucon du soir about my involvement. I have not heard from Charles, so hopefully I have not blown my cover and caused suspicion.

((AU - The Awful Truth))
Searlait and I have gone our separate ways. It is disappointing. I truly loved her with all of my heart.We're in the middle of divorce proceedings right now. Every time I see her I want to grab her and tell her how utterly silly this all is. I don't know what else to do. I want her back. At first I thought it was stemming from the trust issue. I think she was suspicious of me, going through her computer and office. Charles simply wants to make sure that no information from FDS is being transmitted to her research. I never thought Searlait would do such a thing, but I went through with the assignment anyway. It was just precautionary. But I realize that we had been spending more and more time apart ever since she left the agency. The research facility keeps her quite busy and I'm busy with the agency. We don't even have time to sit down to a meal. In the morning, I only have some to fill my thermos will coffee and grab a bagel before leaving. That's if I don't get called in during the night.
And then I went to Searlait's parents house, where she's staying. She was there with this Adam Monroe person. Supposedly a co-worker, but it seems to be a bit more than that. He's not her type. I can tell. And she's going to Greece! She says it's just business, but he insinuated that it was to be for pleasure as well. Of all the places they could go. Perhaps she agreed because she still thinks of me and knows that Greece will remind her of our honeymoon. This Monroe guy will have to step aside because our divorce is not final yet. Until that paper is finalized, I still have a change and I plan to use that to my advantage.
