Levels of Deception

Xenix 5

When we get back to headquarters I walk straight to the cafeteria. Scarlet went to go wash her hands because she forgot to when we got to the store. She needs to since she put her hand in the snot at the train station.

I go and get my lunch, there isn't really anything good, so I just get an apple and a ham, cheese and spinach sandwich. When I go look for a place to sit I notice how vacant our table is. Miles, Ava, Amelia, and Katrina are all gone. Jayson and Gavin aren't here since they only show up for Kat because they were dating, I am happy about that one. The only people who are there are Jamison and Shane. There is also a vacant spot where Ava and Miles used to sit. I walk over to sit with them as I carry my lunch and my new laptop. When I get by them I set my tray next to Shane. It gets awkward really fast. Nobody talks, so I break the the silence.

"So how are you Shane?" I ask since I know he is going through a rough time.

"I'm good, just depressed still," he replies sadly as he looks down at the table, playing with his food.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about Amelia, man," I say empathetically.

"Yeah, it sucks cause we just started dating. She was finally starting to like me," he says, placing his head on his palm and staring at the wall.

"Yeah, I feel you," I say knowingly.

"Yeah I'm sorry for the loss of your partner and Kat," He says as Scarlet comes in.

"Yeah things have been weird lately," I say watching Scarlet get lunch.

"Yeah, I have know idea what is going to happen with all of this happening at the same time." He says while Scarlet grabs a crisp golden delicious apple and a cheddar and provolone cheese Quesadillas,

"Well, hello," Scarlet says to Jamison as she sits down and takes a sip of her water.

"Hi there," Jamison says playfully.

"Well I am going to leave before this gets even more serious," I say while staring at Scarlet.

"Yeah me too," Shane says while picking up his tray and dumping it.

I take one last bite of my sandwich and throw it away. I keep my sour green apple. I go and put my tray away and walk over to my room. I go and take a seat at a desk I have in the right corner. I place my laptop on on the desk and turn it on. I take a bite of my apple and create an account. I go onto the security of our HQ and hack in ,it isn't very secure. I try to look at the footage of the night when Kat and Amelia but I realize I am just looking at the same thing over and over again.

I go and look at the footage of last night. I fast forward until the footage cuts out. It takes about two or three or four hours for it to come back on. How long was I knocked out? I go back to the start of the blur just about three minutes ahead. It doesn't show anything out of the ordinary but at a split second before it starts to blur, just like last time.

This time I see a girl with long blond hair and I zoom in and see bright blue eyes, and a oval shaped face and pale white skin. It only shows her face so I can't see any badges, uniform, or information.

I cut a square out of the picture and save it. I pull it from my files and open up a search browser and place drag her holographic picture into the search bar. Something comes up, the same girl is on a website that holds a database of lost or stolen kids and teens. It isn't the exact same picture it is a younger version of this girl. This girl was thirteen years old when she, what seems like, ran away, and this was posted about three years ago, the same age as us, sixteen. Her name is Tyler.

I get out of it and look for anything else. There is nothing her profile has been wiped clean. I look up her full name Tyler Lewis, still nothing come sup. Someone had to have wiped her. Either she is in a spy organization, knows an extremely smart person, or is extremely smart herself.
