I'm sitting on the bleachers at my schools soccer field.
I'm watching Noah and Mason playing soccer.
Me and Adrianna are cheering for them. Heck, the whole schools cheering for them. Their the best on the team.
Noah passes it to Mason and he shoots.
I jump up and scream YES!!!!!! Like any other soccer lover.
Some of you don't know me.
Some of you do, but that was years ago when I was 13. Now I'm 17, in high school(eleventh) and in the FBI.
I used to be a agent for my school with Noah, Mason, and Adrianna.
We each were chosen by the school board to help fight for America.
Back then it was child's play.
Now it's reality, and I'm helping the government solve murders, terror attacks, thefts.
I sit back down.
My brown hair with blonde highlights is up in a side ponytail.
My white tank top is hugging my skin. I have on a sport red and white jacket.
I have on no makeup(I absolutely hate makeup) and I have ripped jeans on with tennis shoes.
I guess you've already noticed but I'm sorta a tomboy.
I'm a tough girl.
Mason makes another goal and the crowd rises to their feet.
I yell at the top of my lungs.
"Yay!! Way to go Mason!" I yell.
Then we all sit down. I smile real big. My teeth white and bright.
Ever since I was fourteen I've been with the FBI government agency.
They wanted me when I was 15 but they all came to a decision that I should join at age 14.
It's been tough keeping this secret from my family and friends. That's why Adrianna, Noah, Mason and me hang out a lot.
It's because we can talk about the things we can't talk about with others. We can discuss things and plan things that we can't with others.
Adrianna taps my shoulder.
"We're losing 20-19. We just need to make one goal and we'll win." She says.
I glance at the scoreboard.
She's right. We both yell,
"Come on Noah and Mason!! You can do it!"
They look up and smile at us.
Noah waves, then Mason does too.
We wave back.
"We're meeting up after the game to go to Sherries. Can you come?" Says Adrianna. When she says were I know she means, her, Mason, and Noah.
"Yay hold on let me text my mom." I text my mom and she answers back with yes.
I turn my phone off and slip it in my back pocket.
Turning to Adrianna I say,
"Yay I can make it. So the usual?" I ask smiling.
The usual for us is milkshakes and fries for the table at Sherries.
"Yep. Nothing different this time than last time that would change that." She says.
I smile knowing she's right. That's what we always get. The fries are covered in cheese and if it's a special occasion then bacon bits too.
"This isn't a special occasion is it?" I say. A small glimmer of hope still exists in my bacon loving world.
"If we win the game then yes, if not, then no." She says.
I do a fist pump ignoring the last part.
Bacon! Yes!
Adrianna laughs at me but I just do another fist pump. But then I start to laugh with her.
Then the horn blares and we look down to see Noah and Mason with their hands in the air.
Me and Adrianna exchange looks. Then we jump up with the rest of the crowd and scream.
"YES!!!!!! Yay!!! GO MASON AND NOAH!! WE WON!" We scream.
"YES!!! Bacon bits!" I yell.
Adrianna gives me a weird look then laughs. I laugh with her.
Everybody swarms off the bleachers but we stay where we are.
After every game that the boys have me and Adrianna wait on the bleachers for Noah and Mason. After they get dressed in the locker room they meet us on the bleachers and we leave. We always use my truck.
So while we wait me and Adrianna talk about the Agency.
"So any new missions from the FBI?" Asks Adrianna.
"No, but I got the theft thing out of the way. Another big missions on its way though." I say smiling. She smiles back.
"Ok great." She says.
Then we start talking more and then eventually we start laughing. I forget what at. So we're laughing and then and suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder. I yell and turn around.
"Noah! I didn't see you guys walk up. You guys did great!" I say.
"They both smile and high five.
"Yay it was awesome! We only had ten seconds but we scored anyways!" Says Noah.
"Yay so are you guys ready?" Asks Adrianna.
"Yay. We doing the usual?" Asks Mason.
"Yep but since you guys won, we're getting bacon bits this time." Says Adrianna.
I fist pump again.
"Looks like somebodies excited." Says Noah.
"Oh come on you know how much I love bacon bits on our fries. You all know that." I say smiling.
They all smile back at me.
Then Mason starts to walk towards my truck.
"Hey if you touch my truck I'll slit your throat!" I yell at him.
"Yay yay." He yells back. He's swinging his sport bag back and forth.
"Come on guys. I need to catch him before he touches my baby." I say.
Adrianna rolls her eyes and Noah just laughs. But they follow as I chase after Mason.
He's almost to my truck.
I slow down when he stops at the door and turns around.
"Don't worry I won't touch your precious truck." He says smiling hands in the air.
I wake over to the drivers seat and get in.
My truck isn't fancy or anything, in fact it's the total opposite. It's a light blue rusty pickup truck. It's my dream car.
My baby. I place my hands on the steering wheel and turn the key in the ignition.
Mason jumps in the back and so does Noah.Adrianna gets in the passenger seat. I put the fear in drive and pull out of the parking lot.
"Off to sherries we go." Says Adrianna.
"Where the species of cheese fries reign!" Says Mason.
"And their babies, the bacon bits!" I say.
We all burst out laughing.
We pull in front of sherries and get out.
I head over to the door and push it open.
A bell jingles and Sherry comes over to great us on roller skates.
"Hey Yall the usual today?" She asks.
"Yay, but the guys won so add bacon bits." Says Adrianna smiling.
"Congratulations boys! I'll put some extra bacon bits on."
"Thanks sherry." I say.
She leaves and we all walk over to our usual spot. A booth by the rollar blading championship photo and medal on the wall overhead.
"Okay so how's the mission going?" Asks Noah.
"Well I just finished last night with a trial in court. James Robert was found guilty of-"
Sherry came back and interrupted me before I could finish.
"What do Yall want to drink?"
"I'll have a root beer." I say.
"Same here." Says Mason.
Sherry writes down our orders and then looks at Adrianna.
"A lemonade."
"Just a water for me." Says Noah.
"Okay your food will be out in five to ten." Says sherry. She skates away behind the counter.
"Ok like I was saying, James Robert was found guilty of theft from the Sea Sapphire from Mona Lisa Jewelry."
I said.
"What's the Sea Sapphire?" Asks Mason.
"It's a rare gem thats dark blue with a foggy green throughout the gem. It kinda looks like someone splatter painted the gem with green paint." I say.
"Oh." Is all Mason says.
"So how's your missions going" I ask no one in particular.
" well every since we left the JCS agency a year ago it's been exciting being with the FBI." Noah.
"Yay the missions are way better than the JCS ones." Says Adrianna.
"It's been cool." Says Mason.
"Well I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. Maybe we'll get to do a mission together one day." I say.
"Oh I hope. I can't stand doing missions with one boy alone one BOTH of these knuckle brains ." Says Adrianna.
I laugh.
"Do you know what they did for our last mission?" She says.
I had missed their last bunch of missions because of my one assignment with James Robert.
"What?" I say.
"We had to fight a girl. She was really pretty, and I mean REALLY pretty. They couldn't even fight her they were so love sick! I had to take her down myself!" Says Adrianna.
"Oh my gosh!" I say laughing. I'm laughing my head off.
"Oh come on we weren't like that!" Says Noah.
"Yes you were, you were drooling!" Says Adrianna.
"No we weren't!" Objects Mason.
By now I'm laughing so hard that my eyes are watering.
"Stop laughing!"Says Mason and Noah.
"I can't! It's just to funny." I choke out.
They scowl while me and Adrianna laugh together. We're about to stop but when we look at the guys we start all over again.
"Ok can you guys please stop. It's not that funny." Says Noah scowling.
"It is too funny, but fine well stop." I say. We both sit up and I wipe the tears from my eyes.
"Thank you." Says Mason.
Sherry comes and delivers the fries.
I'm drooling when Mason says,
"Well it looks like somebody likes bacon."
"No dip Sherlock." I say.
He scowls. I dig in. Taking fries covered with cheese and coated with bacon.
My mouth full,
"Mmm..." I mumble.
"Somebodies enjoying theirselves." Says Adrianna glancing at me. She laughs
"Yall know I love fries, and bacon." I say objecting on their opinion on how I eat.
"There she goes with the Yall stuff again." Says Adrianna.
They all laugh while i form my eyes into slits.
Ehhh, I'll just ignore them. I shrug and dig into the fries, again.
"Hey! Leave some for the rest of us! Pig." Says Noah smirking.
"For your information calling someone pig is a very rude insult in Germany." I say.
"Oh whatever." He says digging into the fries as well.
Soon every single one of the fries are gone and were driving back to my house.
"Do yall want to play pool, air hockey, or ping pong?" I ask my eyes still firmly locked on the road.
"Why not all three?" Says Mason.
"Yay, can we do all three?" Asks Adrianna.
"Sure, then do Yall want to watch a movie after? Winner gets to pick." I say.
"Yes." Says everybody.
"Ok then." I say.
"But how could the winner pick one out of the other ten thousand?" Jokes Adrianna.
Ok I own a lot of movies, VCR's, DVDs. But I don't own ten thousand. Maybe two hundred?
"Ha. Ha." I say sarcastically.
We arrive at my house after the long climb up two steep hills.
I park and we get out.
I get my keys out and unlock the door.
We take our coats and jackets off and hand them up(the coats not the shoes).
"I'm gonna beat you Laken!" Says Mason.
"No way! You know I'm better at air hockey than you!" I shout chasing after him.
I hear Adrianna and Noah laughing upstairs. They follow us downstairs though.
I run after Mason to see that he's already at the air hockey table and has plugged it in.
I rush over and turn the air on. He takes the puck out and his hand thingy. I take mine out too and he shoots.
Adrianna and Noah go over and play pool.
"Bring it." I say.
"Oh I will." Says Mason.
We play for a half an hour then we stop. I'm the winner.
"Yes! I told you! Nobody can beat me!" I say.
He shrugs and goes to sit on a stool overlooking the pool table.
"Ba humbug." I say walking over to the pool table.
"Who won pool?" I ask.
"Adrianna did." Says Noah.
"You go girl! Gese the guys suck today." I say.
Adrianna laughs but heads over to the ping pong table.
We play a pretty good math but I have to admit I'm bad at ping pong. In the end Adrianna won.
"Ok, you know where the movies are. Go pick one." I say.
"Yes!" Says Adrianna while she runs upstairs.
I'm left down here with the guys.
"So how's been working with the FBI going?" I say while I sit down at the table and prop my legs up.
They sit there drinking iced tea before they answer.
"Eh it's been fun. So many missions. Lots of fighting. SO much training." Says Mason.
"Yay the trainings been killer." Moans Noah.
I laugh because I know, I've been through this but now since Ive been with the agency longer, I'm used to it.
I can run long distances, do multiple obstacles, climb anything, decipher codes, speak French, Italian and Spanish, fight extremely well, and deactivate Bombs.
"How much have you guys learned?" I asked.
Noah puts his drink down and looks at me.
"We've learned how to fight, run for long amounts of time, how to use a gun and activate smoke bombs, throw knives and speak Italian and partially Spanish."
Wow that's pretty impressive for only a year and a half at the FBI. But ever since I got there they've started training better, faster and with more information.
I guess I said that out loud because their giving me quizzical looks. When they see me look they turn back to their normal faces.
Dumb and dumber.
I laugh a little to myself and reserve even more weird glances from them but I ignore them.
"So what's been your lates-" I start to say but Adrianna yells down to us from in the stairs.
"Guys! I picked a movie!"
"Ok we're coming." I yell back.
I put my legs down, get up and head to the stairs. Aware of Noah and Mason not following me I turn around to see they're still sitting down.
"You coming guys?" I ask.
"Yay just give us a minute." Says Mason.
I shrug and head upstairs.
But one important detail they forgot is that I'm a agent. For the FBI.
I head up the stairs and pretend to open the door and then slam it. I crouch against the wall and turn on my earring piece. I know what your thinking, I'm so nosy and why can't I trust my friends? Well it's because I'm curious and of the looks they gave me while I walked off upstairs.I suddenly hear Mason talking.
"How long until you tell her?" Asks Mason.
"I'll tell her soon. Don't worry. Even if I don't tell her Boggs will tell her." Says Noah.
I smile to myself as I think of Boggs, my mission leader. He's awesome, funny, smart, sly and just plain fun. He's the best mission leader a person could ever ask for. I grin wider as I also think that he has the same name of A Hunger Games character. Fangirl moment.
I leave my thoughts and turn back to the conversation.
"But what if Boggs doesn't tell her?" Ask Mason.
"He will. She's like a sister to him. He wouldn't just surprise her like that. I mean she would be happy. Right?"
Says Noah.
I can just picture them both down there sipping from their ice tea and looking at each other.
"Hahah your right. He'll tell her, and she'll be happy as ever to have you going along on her mission." Says Mason.
Wait so Noah's going on a mission with me?! Just like old times? Yes! He's a great partner, like a brother to me.
I think of all my partners and fellow agents as friends, but when it comes to Mason, Adrianna and Noah they're like brothers and a sister to me.
"Yay your right." Says Noah.
"I wonder what her next mission is going to be." Adds Noah.
"I have no idea dude, I have no idea." Says Mason.
Then they start talking about the Penguins(which I simply love and would stay to listen) but I have to get to Adrianna.
I turn my earring off and exit very quietly knowing for sure they can't hear me.
I close the door until there's just a wide crack of light shining from the basement and head off to the living room.
Walking in I see Adrianna sprawled on the floor reading the back of the DVD.
"Hey." I say.
"Which movie did you pick?" I ask.
She jumps at my sudden arrival but quickly regains herself and answers my question.
"Oh hey laken. I've picked a movie called Read it and Weep." She says.
"Oh I've seen that movie once. It was pretty good." I say. I remember it. It's about a girl who has a online diary and she accidentally publishes it and the whole school finds out while her diary becomes a worlds best seller.
"I don't know how the guys are going to react to it though. It's sorta girly." I say. Even though I'm kinda a tomboy I don't mind girly stuff like diaries and dresses(although I hate wearing them, I mean if I end up in a fight how the heck am I going to fight in a dress?!).
I actually have my own diary online. But I'm pretty sure I can't publish it. I made sure of that when I got the app.
In the background We hear The guys trudging upstairs. Two seconds late they pop they're heads in.
"What movie did you pick?" Asks Noah.
Adrianna sits up Indian style and looks at Noah.
"I picked this." Says Adrianna while she holds up the movie.
He guys step in the dark room and grab the movie.
"This looks fairly decent." Says Noah.
"I guess." Says Noah.
"Well your watching it whether you like it or not. We made a deal and come on guys your,(she lowers her voice to a whisper before she says the next word.) agents.....you should be able to watch a silly girl movie like this." She says.
When Noah looks at Mason, he shrugs but they both agree.
"Hey where's the popcorn?!" Ask Mason.
"Yay! I'm watching a girly movie I at least want some popcorn!" Says Noah.
I grumble then say,
"I swear you guys could eat my fridge as a appetizer if you wanted to." I say.
"Is that an option?!" Ask Mason as I leave the room.
"No!" I yell back.
I make butter lover popcorn and place it in a giant blue bowl.
I walk back to the room and set down the popcorn. Adrianna is sitting by the left arm rest on the couch and there's a gap between her and Noah which I guess is for me. Mason sits beside the right armrest and by Noah.
"Here's your popcorn your majesties." I say fake bowing.
Adrianna Smothers a giggle and Noah says probably another witty comment.
"Finally she says it! I've been waiting years!"
"Ha ha ha. Don't get your hopes up boy." I say.
He fake frowns but then sits back. I grab the bowl and sit down. Immediately arms lunge for the bowl and grasp as much popcorn as they're little fingers can grasp.
"Gese Liouse guys!" I yelp.
"Why don't you just use your tongues?!" I say.
I lol at them and see that their tongues are out looking at the bowl.
"Oh no! Don't you guys date!" I screech.
I lift the bowl above my head and jump up.
"I didn't mean literally!" I say.
They all erupt in giggles and soon I'm gasping for air too.
"Please don't do that again." I say, smiling and wiping the tears from my eyes.
Finally we settle down and watch the movie.
About an hour into the movie my watch beeps and my phone rings. I check my watch first and it stops beeping. It was just a alert that said URGENT URGENT ANSWER YOUR PHONE!
it was from Boggs. This Must be an emergency if he informed me on my watch so I would answer my phone. He knew I always had my watch on and would never miss a alert.
I answered my phone to hear a siren in the background. I pulled the phone away from my ear in the sudden pain from the noise blasting through from the other end.
"What the heck?!" I yelled.
Muffled static and then Boggs comes on.
"Agent horner! We're coming to pick you up. There's been a major emergency In headquarters. Be ready, we'll be there in ten at latest."
I start to say ok but he cuts me off hanging up.
Ok..... I think. I wonder what it could be. Major theft? Robbery? Break in? What?
I head over to my friends, grab the remote and pause it.
"Why did you do that for?"yells Noah.
"I didn't think you cared much for it." I said back.
He's silent.
"Ok so what's up. You wouldn't pause a movie for nothing." He says smiling.
"We have to get ready. Boggs is coming to pick us up."
"Why?" Asks Adrianna.
"Because there's been a major emergency at headquarters. He didn't explain what it was or how it happened, he just said to be ready in ten because he's coming to pick us up." I say.
"Oh ok." Says Mason.
"He seemed panicked, and desperate." I add.
"Come on we need to get dressed. Do you guys have your outfits?" I ask.
They bod their heads and we head upstairs. The boys change in the restroom and me and Adrianna change in my room.
Adrianna puts on a purple and pink rye dyed tank top, brown sandals with one inch heels and jean shorts. She puts her hair in a ponytail and waits for me.
I change into a blue tank top with pawlys island written in white on it.
I slip on Jean shorts and medium height brown boots with small heels. I lift up my shirt to put on a black gun strap holding a handgun.
Under my shorts I slip on another strap and put a knife in it. I attache poison in the pocket next to it. I put on my blue ball cap and leave my hair down.
"You ready?" Asks Adrianna.
"Yep lets go see if the boys are."
We walk out of my room and I knock on the bathroom door. Memories flood my brain as I remember me knocking on the wall in between me and Noah's dressing room. I shake the memory out of my head and say to the door,
"Are Yall ladies done in there yet?!"
No reply. Then the door swings open almost hitting my nose but luckily I slide out of the way just in time. Thank my training for that.
Mason and Noah enter the hallway and head for the stairs.
"Gosh! You almost hit my nose!" I say.
"Oh stop complaining baby." Says Mason with a smirk.
"Oh stop it Jeffrey's, you know I could kick both your butts any day." I say. And I was right I could, and they knew that. Being the top agent in the agency I could easy knock out someone in two blows. One to the groin(my victory kick) and the other a kick in the head causing them to go straight against a wall knocking them out.
We waited by the door for less than a minute when Boggs showed up. He was in a black mustang and so was Peter. Peter was driving. The desperate look in their eyes made me a little worried but I pushed that emotion down my throat when it came up.
We walk out and get in the car. The windows suddenly become tinted. We sit down. Adrianna, me, Noah and Mason.
"What going on?" I finally ask as Peter drives away.
Boggs turns around and his dark brown eyes meet mine. It sends shivers up my spine. Sometimes he just scares me with how much respect he should be given.
He looks at all of us but then turns back to me.
"Agent Horner. Our agency was broken into and a bomb was planted under the agency. Extreme explosion. Only few of us escaped."
"How many escaped?" I asked.
There was around 43,000 agents in our agency.
He pauses before he answers,
"10,000."
I bet my face turns a little bit pale but i ignore it and think of so many people who I knew. I wonder if any of them are dead.
"Who planted the bomb?" I ask.
It seems as though my friends aren't even here anymore. They're jut watching the scene on the sidelines. I know I would be the first one Boggs would tell this too.
I look at his face suddenly seeing the bleeding cuts on im his forehead, face and shoulder. He's panting a little.
His left cheek is swollen and burned.
"We don't know yet. But the person has been tracked to Miami Florida. We're going our other base tomorrow, and all of you are coming along."
"What will we tell our parents?" Asks Adrianna.
"You'll tell all your parents you are going on a school trip to Maryland for a college fair and preview." He orders us.
"Yes sir. What time tomorrow?" Ask Noah.
"9:00am. Be ready by quarter till. Be packed for two months worth. We'll be there for awhile."
Two months?! That's gonna be a good mission.
Noah blurts out "but what are we going to do in Miami? What's are mission?"
Boggs turns to look at Noah and answers him in a deep tone.
"You Pyles were picked because you've worked with Laken before and your a good agent." He turns to Adrianna,
"Agent Thomas was picked for her tracking, and deactivating skills. She's the best tracker we've got."
He turns his head towards Mason next.
"We picked Mason because he's our second best hacker and poison maker. Our first best hacker is helping out his wife in labor." Mason scowls but grins alittle.
Peter pulls up to my house.
"Why are we back at-." I start to say but Boggs cuts me off.
"We only picked you up to tell you the news. Your phone could of been hacked and there could of been an eavesdropper. But before you go you all need to know one important piece of information." He says.
We all turn our heads and look at him.
He can tell by our anxious looks that we want him to continue.
"You all our going undercover at Miami High School in Miami Florida." He says.
My mouth drops and so do the rest of the gangs. We stare at Boggs in horror. We're going undercover?!
