Partner in crime

Flash back

"Come on Mia, your mother hits harder then that, come on. You've done better. Hit me" my dad said as he holds up the sparing gloves for me to punch. I take a deep breath and deliver a huge punch which sends my dads whole arm flying back. He smiles as he twists his shoulder around, chucking.

"That's my girl" he says as he gets back into his fighting stance. I do the same, putting my hands up to cover my face. My dad goes for a right cross but I duck it and knee him in the stomach, then kick his chest as hard as I can, sending him to the ground. I felt my heart rate start to go down, as I started to control my breathing. As my dad taught me to do when I was fighting, so I wouldn't use so much energy. Teaching me to control my strength, to use it against who I'm fighting. Using their weight to my advantage. After all, I was only 15. I had been doing martial arts and jujitsu since I was 5, both my parents were agents for some kind of corporation, but I couldn't talk about it with them. It as confidential. All I knew was it was called the SAU, (special agent unit) But they taught me everything I knew up to that point. Little did I know, it would come in more handy that I ever imagined.

"You did good kid, ready for dinner?" My dad says as he dusts himself off and puts an arm around me.

"Yeah, I'm starving." I said running inside to sit down.

"Damnit Jason, go easy on her yeah? Your gunna give her a concussion!" My mom says as she puts the food on the table.

"Nah, she got the best of me this time" he said winking at me. I smiled and ate my food.

That night, I was laying in bed, on my phone. I knew my parents were down stairs, but I heard them talking to someone. I ignore it until...

BANG! 💥

I hear a gun shot from my room. I ran down stairs and stoped at the third step down when I saw my mom laying on the ground. Blood everywhere. I see a man coming over to her, standing over her, pointing the gun at her again.

"Where is she?" He asked in a low husky tone.
My mom turned over, leaning up on her elbows to face the large man. I started to well up with tears as I realized she was still alive. I covered my mouth to muffle my sobs.

"You'll never find her. She's trained to the highest level of stealth. She could transform into anyone she wants, blends in, puff, you'll never see her again. With any luck, she's kill the rest of your men already." She said through gritted teeth.

He shot her on the spot. I turned away and ran up the stairs. I hear the man coming after me and run into my room. Shutting the door. The man kicks my door down and I turn around as I'm opening my window to jump out. He grabs me and I pull myself over so I'm on his back. I put my leg around his neck, and slap him into the ground, using his own weight to bring him down. I get up and get into my fighting stance. He puts his hand on the back of his head, where it was bleeding. I narrowed my eye brows, my anger welling up inside me. But I took a deep breath, and controlled my power.

He walked towards me and I kicked his stomach, he grabbed my leg and spun me around so I was on the ground. I quickly scrambled up but before I could he took my arm behind my back and was trying to break it, I screamed and put all the weight of my back right leg into his crotch. He let out a yell and fell to his knees, I round house kicked him in the face and he was out cold. I stood silent in my room for a second, listening to see if I was about to be pursued again, I didn't hear anything, so I walked quietly down the stairs to the kitchen, I peeked my head around the corner of the wall and saw my dad standing there, over my mom. She was gone. My dad looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Go! You know what to do. Go find Ben, tell him that laura and Jason O'Connor are dead, and that your ready to be admitted."

"Admitted?" I said, my voice cracked as I realized this would probably be the last time I see him.

"Go! They are coming, they are gunna blow this place up, go! G-"

Someone behind him shot him in the back. He fell to the ground and before I knew it, I was out our front door, running for my life. I ran and ran until I got to a quiet place to call Ben. Ben was a family friend of ours, he would come over and watch my dad and I spare. He would always help me out, and come over for family game nights and super bowl Sundays, sometimes even holidays. But I didn't know he was apart of my parents agency.

He came and picked me up and I hugged him tight. He kissed me on the head and said

"Everything will be okay, your safe now"

I closed my eyes as he hugged me.

I knew it was my time, I wasn't going to let my parents die for nothing. I'm going to find who did it. And end them.
