Spy School: BLISTER (indefinite hiatus)

Chapter 4: Project X

Oof it's been awhile since I updated this book, but it's finally here! Another chapter of this is probably coming out soon, most likely on the weekend. I will have a bit more time to write as there is no school on Friday. (I know right, it great!) 

Again, there are some details in this book from Spy School: At sea, so if you don't want any spoilers, then don't continue reading this book. ESPECIALLY THIS CHAPTER.

"What is that?" asked Mike, looking worried.

Sophia then cleared her throat, and everyone spun to look at her. I almost forgot that she was there. And it seems like everyone else did too.

"I may know a thing or two about Project X." She said.

Murray now had just noticed Sophia. "Well, well, well, look who we have here." A smirk appeared on his face. "The one and only Sophia, whom Croatoan took you in, and I'm guess by your presence here, you betrayed them, am I right?"

Sophia nodded slowly, glaring at Murray.

Murray's smirk grew even wider. "I told them they should get rid of you. They didn't listen. Ha! Sucks for them." Sophia went beet red at these words and clenched her fists. I think she would have lunged at him if she wasn't holding herself back.

"Children, we're getting out of topic." Catherine said. Then she faced Sophia. "Sophia, would you be a dear and tell us what Project X is?"

Sophia's voice wavered as she spoke. "Project X...it's a competition. I don't know how you win, but Colton told me that the prize money was 100 million dollars, and it involved killing someone, but I think...it might be one of you."

My eyes widened as a hush fell throughout the room. What if it was me? Never mind me, what if it was one of my friends?

I looked over at Murray. He seemed to be enjoying watching us look worried.

"Who is it?" Erica demanded, fire blazing in her eyes.

Murray snorted. "Do you really have to ask?" He said, glaring at me.

So it WAS me.

I glanced around me, and everyone had fear in their eyes. But surprisingly, I didn't feel any. Instead I smirked at Murray and said, "Bring it on."

Murray's mouth dropped as I said those words. Everyone else was gaping at me in surprise.

"Come one guys. Lets go." I marched out of the prison with everyone in tow, leaving Murray speechless.

Once I got outside, I let out the breath I was holding. "Ben, that was amazing." Zoe said, beaming.

I smiled. "But the strange part is, I really don't feel scared. I don't. Which is...a new thing for me I guess."

"We should deal with Project X later. Right now, we have BLISTER to defeat." Erica said. But I noticed a tiny hidden smile spread across her face.
