The Hybrid

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Night came and I began getting ready for the mission. I felt excited but nervous. I’ve been told by Olivia to wear casual clothes since we needed to blend with the people on the streets. It was December and freezing outside so I decided on skinny jeans with a t-shirt and hoodie. I put on a winter puffer jacket with a black beanie and finished the look with my favourite combat boots.

Just on time, a knock came from my door. Opening it, Olivia stood there with a huge grin on her face, wearing similar clothes. Only instead of a jacket, she wore a cream coat and a fluffy hat. “Are you ready?” She asked taking in my appearance. I nodded and stepped outside the door.

“We need to go to the weaponry,” her melodic voice echoed as we walked through the empty hallway.

“We get to have weapons?” I raised my eyebrow questioningly. I wondered why I wasn't able to get any weapon when I went on a mission with Alex and Markus. Did they not trust me enough?

She giggled “ya, I never go without weapons”

Entering the weaponry a guy sat there. His eyes moved from the screen of his computer towards us. He smiled looking at Olivia. “Hi, are you here to get your weapons?”

“Hi, Derek. Yea we need ear comms and...some guns?” She turned to me, her eyebrow high on her forehead looking for approval.

I shook my head “For me some knives or something. I never handled guns”

“Never?” Her both eyebrows raised in surprise “I have to teach you”

I smiled at her and turned my attention to the guy. He held two small boxes handing one to me and the other Olivia. Opening it there was a small black flat battery type of mechanism. Then I remembered Alex had one of those in his ear. I glanced at Olivia, she was in the middle of putting it inside of her ear. So I did the same thing. As it was placed securely, I heard a male voice in my ear coming from it.

“Can you hear me?” a male voice resonated in my ear.

“Ya, we are all set” I heard Olivia next to me.

“So what guns you have for me” she turned her attention to Derek.

He turned around grabbing two small pistols on the belt holster. “I’ve micro nine mm for you”

She grabbed it beaming at him “you know me too well” opening up her coat she fastened the guns on her waist.

He turned to me “I’ve some throwing stars and here” he handed me a large combat knife with the sheath attached horizontally to a belt. I grabbed it fasting it around my waist and pulling my hoodie and jacket over it to hide it from sight. He also handed me a pocket with throwing stars. I fastened it on the belt.

“Thanks”, I smiled happily, pleased with weapons.

“Let’s go” I heard Olivia next to me.

“See you later” I heard Derek as we headed for the door.

Entering the large foyer of the building Liam stood there waiting for us. Once we approached he had a serious look on his face.

“Please be careful” he pleaded as he held Olivia by her shoulders, looking into her eyes.

“I will don’t worry,” she said with a slight smile on her face.

He looked in my direction letting go of her shoulders “you know what to do, if anything happens, use the comms. I’ll be listening” his voice sounded commanding. I only nodded acknowledging his words.
