A JCS Secret Agent

Chapter 14

I arrive at school and its second period. The speaker turns on.
"Will Adrianna Thomas, Mason Jeffreys, Noah Pyles and Laken Horner please meet me In my office." The speaker turns off. I guess we're used to this because we all get up and go to the Deans office in silence. When we get to the office the secretary stops us and says
"The Dean told me to tell you to go down to your lockers. What does she mean by that?" She asks. I think of something quick and say,
"We're supposed to help her with some boxes downstairs by these lockers." I say.
"Oh." Is all she says.
We all head downstairs to our lockers and go down. Is this a mission? I wonder. What if it is? Am I trained enough? What's the mission then? Robbery? Murder? Theft? I have no idea. Bombing? Ding. I step out and go to the dressing room. Noah's waiting there.
"What do we change into?" He asks.
"Our mission outfits I guess." I say.
He nods and I head inside. I stare at my mission outfit. Its black jumpsuit with high black boots. I slip the outfit on. I notice that there's pockets everywhere. I slip on my strap with pockets and pound on the wall. He pounds back. I head out the door. Noah's waiting. He has the same thing in as me, except he doesn't have a bow strung across his back and he doesn't have a strap over his chest.
We head over to the gear section. A woman is there. She gives us a watch that has a hologram that can connect us back here to any agent for advice. She also gave us laser pens and a grappling hook. And sunglasses that have x-Rays, can eavesdrop and we got exploding gum. We pack all the stuff in our pockets and I ask her what's going on.
"You two are getting ready for a mission." She says.
I look at Noah, he's smiling. I bet I'm smiling too. This is our first mission.
"Now commander Colby gave orders. Go get ready and armed and report the the helicopter pad. We nod and head back to the dressing room.
I go in mine and take out all the cases. I pack throwing stars, poison, the cubes, extra arrows, a handgun, bullets, daggers, smoke bombs, little bombs, potions and I put on my claws. Next I sling my bow on and head out the door. Noah's geared up with his machete and probably other things. We meet Adrianna and Mason on the helicopter pad. Adrianna's claws are weird, their not like the ones I saw at the poison center. Hers look real, and the nails are painted a red brown color. She has throwing stars across the strap against her chest. Mason has num chucks and a dagger hanging from his belt. They wear the same outfits as us. Black jumpsuits. We load the helicopter and me and Noah meet Commander Colby.
Colby is a fairly older man, maybe sixty or seventy? He has a longish gray mustache and brown eyes. He looks wise but old, and he's wearing a green jumpsuit with a bunch of golden stars. Around fifty? Fifty golden stars? He tells us our mission.
"Agents 554 and 553 your mission is to help one hundred and fifty people get out of a poison smoked building."
"Yes sir. Well try our best." Says Adrianna.
"I don't want you to try your best! I want you to do your best! Got it?!"
"Got it sir." They both say.
He turns to us.
"Agents 771 and 772. Your mission is to chase down the bombers, capture them and contact me so I can come and pick you up. Got it?"
"Got it!" We say.
"We'll do our best!" I say.
He looks at me. I'm afraid he'll tell at me but instead he says,
"I like you 771." He says.
"Thank you sir it's an honor."
"Now head out Agents!"
"Yes sir!" We both say.
We get parachutes on and go by Adrianna and Mason.
"Where are we going?" I ask Adrianna.
"New York." She says.
"New York?!"
"Yep. The Big apple. Now get ready." Were jumping any minute!" She raises her voice over the siren signaling were getting close to jumping.
"On my count!" She yells. We all nod. But my fear of heights overtakes me.
"One!"
A red light flashes around us. The siren blares. The doors opening and we all go to stand in the entrance.
"Two!"
We all lock hands and wait for the green light to flash.
Green light floods around us.
"Three!" We all jump out. I'm falling so fast. I look around. Nobody's around me. Oh my gosh did I jump out to early?! I look up. Dreading to see the helicopter and my fellow agents flying away. But instead I see them all above me with white things above their heads. My parachute! I pull on the string. I go flying up towards them. Air catching me. I fly up to them.
"This is amazing!" I scream.
"It sure is!"
"I know right!"
"Simply gorgeous!"
I look down. I see buildings. Tall ones and little ones. Then I see smoke and people gathered at one big building. I look right below me. A building is getting closer and closer. Until I hit it. Ow that's gonna leave a mark I think.
I get up and find myself on top of the building a block away from the smoking one. Looking around I see that everyone's all here. Safe. I breath a sigh of relief.
We get our parachutes off and stick them in a corner on the roof. Next we jump buildings. The boots we have on have little spring that makes us jump further. Not higher, just further. We jump until we get to the smoking building. Adrianna and Mason depart. Me and Noah wait. Wait for a kind of signal. Or anybody suspicious around the sight. After awhile I turn on my watch.
"Colby?" I ask.
"Colby. It's agent 771, where is he target. I repeat where is the target. We need an exact location." Nothing. Just static.
Then a crash and then a voice.
"771 do you read me? Copy."
"I read you sir. Copy."
"What's the hold up 771?"
"We need an exact location on the target sir." I say.
"The targets are a block away walking in a back alley. Hurry they might escape." He says.
I turn my watch off and face Noah.
"Their a block away in a back alley. We got to hurry if we want to catch them." He nods and we head off, jumping buildings.
We jump off the building(which was very small) and head to the back alley. Colby gave me a pinpoint map on my watch.
As we approach we hear voices. Tow mans, ones gruff and the other is deep with a city accent. I give Noah true signal to stay back. I get out my gun and fill it with bullets.
"Are you sure these are the men, Colby?" I ask speaking into my watch.
"771 are you questioning me?"
"No sir I was just thinking that if these aren't the men then they could track us down and find out who w-"
"Enough talking 771 and get to work!"
"Yes sir." I say.
I press my back up against the wall and get my handgun ready. I step out into the alley where they can clearly see me.
"Hey boys!" I say with a sweet tone.
"You should of never even thought about smoke bombing that place." I say.
"Yay but we did and we don't regret it!" Says the one with an accent. Their both facing me. I motion for Noah to come out. He has his gun out too.
The men come towards us and I'm scared for a second but I regain my bravery and step forward too, finger on the trigger.
They both pull out guns and aim at me. Not Noah, just me.
"So you think because I'm a girl I'll be easy to take down?" I ask. Walking closer.
"Well yay, you are a girl." They smirk.
I see their fingers move and I plunge to the ground, dodging the bullets. I hop back up and kick them in the face. I signal Noah to take the other guy. I got the leader. He fired at me but misses. I take my gun and shoot him in the leg. He cries out in pain but still continues to fight. I remember all the classes on fighting and how I always win against a guy.
So I do what I call my victory kick.
I kick the man in the groin, spin him around push him to the ground, stand on him and take a potion out of my pocket. The label says 'snore galore' and I dump it down his throat. His eyes close and he goes limp. I get off him and look over at Noah. He's pinned to the ground and a knife is inches away from his throat.
"Noah!" I screech.
The man looks over and given the opportunity Noah kicks the man in the stomach causing him to fly and hit the alley wall. I take out another potion and dump it down his throat. He goes limp but his eyes stay open. I guess he can sleep with his eyes open. I turn my watch on and contact Colby. He brings the helicopter and soon me, Noah, and the two guys are picked up. Adrianna and Mason are sitting there, burned and hair singed a little. Was that how powerful the smoke was? I smell smoke, It's them too.
Noah has a cut on his shoulder. Not deep but still bleeding more than a little scratch. A guy comes out and bandages it up. Then he leaves. I look at myself. I have a piece of flesh missing from my upper right arm. It's not bleeding. It's just a little chunk. I don't need a paramedic or anything but yet a nurse comes out and bandages me too, she wraps white cloth around my arm and tapes it together. If anybody asks it was a bike accident. For my parents... Well I'll think of something when the time comes. We head back to the school and land on the soccer field. We sink down underground and get out. I head straight to my dressing room. I put my stuff back and change back into school stuff. It's almost time for school to end. I pound on the wall. He pounds back. Noah's standing there when I come out.
"Nice job back there with those guys." He says.
"Same for you. You did a good job too. " I say.
"Thanks. How's your arm?" He says.
"Oh it's nothing, I'm more worried about your shoulder. You got a nasty cut." I say.
"Can I see it?" He asks.
"My arm? Sure." He takes ahold of my arm and inspects the cut. I wince once. He stares at my arm and then looks at me. Our eyes meet.
His blue ones stare into my deep brown ones.
"You have pretty eyes." He says.
"Thanks." I say bluntly. I don't like him. I don't want him to like me. I pull my arm away from his grasp and walk away. Not smiling. I head to my locker and go up. Waking to my school locker I gather my things and get in the bus line. We have no practice today. I get on the bus and head home.
Thoughts swimming In my head.
I don't like Noah.
Does he like me?
I hope not.
I hope nothing like that ever happens again.
He's going to ruin our friendship.
He's ruining our partnership.
