0700 HOURS

Time to get to work. I said to myself as I woke from my slumber. It was yet another day at the Academy of Espionage. I got off my bed and headed towards the shower to freshen up before I went to the cafeteria for breakfast.

I had taken a quick shower and got dressed, I headed out of my dorm, to the cafeteria. Once I got there, it was busy, as per usual. 

But, before I could step into the cafeteria, I felt someone put a hand in front of me. I stopped dead in my tracks, I look to my left to see Cyrus Hale, my grandpa, signaling me to follow him.

Grandpa just walked along the corridors, with me in tow. With the direction we were heading, I suspected Grandpa was leading me towards our Principal's office. (He was also known as "The Idiot" by my friends. He isn't capable of doing anything, he must've been given the position just so that he would stay out of the way of everyone else.)

After a minute or so, my suspicions proved correct, as usual. We are now standing in front of the door of the office, which was actually just a Janitor's closet. He was forced to use it as his office was accidentally blown to bits with a mortar shell by my fellow agent, Benjamin Ripley. My Grandpa knocked on the door and heard a sigh from inside,

"Come in, come in." said the Principal, clearly sounding not happy with our arrival.

Me and Grandpa entered and we both took a seat.

"Why do all these meetings have to happen here?

Grandpa just waved the question off.

"We have a new mission for you, " said my Grandpa to me.

"Where am I heading to?" I asked,

"Chicago, Illinois. The Chicago Field Museum of Natural History to be exact." Replied my grandpa.

He handed me a dossier and continued, "The museum recently acquired almost an entire Velociraptor skeleton. As they were in the process of cleaning and prepping it for display, they uncovered a secret compartment within one of the bones. As it turns out, that specific bone was man-made and within it contained a diamond worth over $2 million."

"So I assume, I have to retrieve it?" I asked, now more intrigued by how valuable it was.

"Well not exactly," Answered Grandpa. "The diamond was identified as The Saboton Diamond, it was reported stolen from a bank in Canada a few months back. So to not draw to much attention, this assignment is going off the books. You'll be escorting the diamond to an undisclosed loca-"

"Hey, why do I even NEED to be here? You people never tell me what the mission is, so I don't have a bloody idea what you're talking about." Interrupted "The Idiot". His face now red with anger and frustration. I guess he got fed up with us not telling him anything. But he wasn't exactly the best person to share government secrets with.

"Shut it with you." Said my Grandpa, while pointing an angry finger at the principal. The principal just went back into his seat, looking a little disappointed that he lost the conversation.

My grandpa continued, "As I was saying, you'll be following the escort to an undisclosed location. And since this is going off the books, none of your fellow agents can know about this mission."

I nodded in agreement, and handed the dossier back to Grandpa. He then passed the dossier to the principal and said, "Sign here."

The principal muttered under his breath, took his pen out of his coat and signed the paper.

"Thank you." Said Grandpa as he took back the dossier. "You'll be activated tomorrow at 0900 hours."


Well, that took longer then I thought. Sorry for that 😅
