A Spy's Home---Book 3: A Friend I've Never Met

Chapter 1

Zylina's Point of View

My hands trembled as I was shoved into the nearest alleyway; my attacker made it look like he only had his arm around my shoulder, but unknowingly to all the passerbyers, this dude had a gun pointed behind my back, ready to kill if he needed to.

Once we were out of the sight of the people, the attacker shoved me, and I ran into a dumpster. This seems familiar. I went to face my attacker, but I heard the gun cock and I snapped my head facing forward once again. "What do you want? I don't have anything on me right now." I said.

"You really think I want anything from you?" my attacker responded. That voice; mystery clue guy's voice? "Is that you, Mystery Clue guy?" I asked, with a nervous chuckle mixed into my voice.

"Maybe." he simply responded, and somehow I knew he was smirking. "Why do you keep doing this?" I groaned. "It's just my style." my attacker responded. I heard him put the pistol away, and I asked, "Can I turn my head around now?"

"You can if you're ready to learn my secret identity," he answered. "Wait, your secret identity?" I exclaimed.

"Yep, have my hoodie and bandana off. Come on, turn around Zyl." Mystery Clue guy responded with. I perked up when he said my nickname; I processed his voice in my head, and I realized where I had heard it before.

I snapped my whole body around, and came face-to-face with someone I never thought I would see the face of.

Rory's point of view

I started to get worried when Zylina hadn't returned after five minutes; my leg started thumping up and down under the table, as I tried to peek out the window on the other side of the room. I didn't even see her out the window!

I got up from the table, and exited the diner to investigate; I walked to my car, and found my keys laying on the sidewalk next to the tires. Picking them up off the sidewalk, and stuffing them in my pocket, I start looking around. Except for the keys there was no other sign of Zylina.

"Zyl!" I called out. I got no answer, just funny looks from passerbyers. I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, and spun around; I was greeted by the face of a woman, who then asked, "Are you looking for the girl who was here a couple minutes ago?" I nodded, and watched as the girl sighed.

"There was a boy who came up behind her, and kind of walked her that way. I thought they were friends." the woman explained, pointing behind me. I turned my head, and saw the nearest alleyway. I then turned back to the woman and thanked her, before running off in the direction she pointed in.

Moments later, I turned into the very first alleyway, and heard voices coming from around the corner. I rushed and turned the corner, and skidded to a halt when I saw a boy with a gun stuffed between his side and belt, facing Zylina who was in utter shock.
