HNS Takedown

Chapter 11

I was woken by the sound of my alarm clock, "ugh" I groaned as I rolled over to hit the snooze button, then I realized I didn't have an alarm clock, and I sat bolt right up.

"Hahaha, I got you" said Alaina, "tu pequeña mierda" I muttered angrily, "oh am I now" she said "am I a little shit".

"Yes you are" I said, throwing my pillow at her before getting up and leaving my room to go and make a coffee.

Miles walked into the kitchen, where I was sitting at the bench drinking my coffee, "you look like you didn't sleep" I told him, "I didn't" he said "I was up late gaming and went to bed at 3", "well whose fault is that?" I asked, "mine" he muttered reluctantly, "exactly" I told him.

"Give him a break, and I mean literally, he needed to game and get his head out of reality for a while" said Ben, who must have come in after Miles.

"I didn't say he couldn't game, I said if he wants to be less tired go to bed earlier" I snapped back, Ben raised his hands up, as if to defend himself "okay, geez" he said.

Alaina then walked in, she had taken her hair out and lay gracefully over her shoulders.

"What?" she asked, "you really do look like abuela" I told her, she smiled at the compliment, "are you calling me beautiful?", "yes, she is" said Ben.

Alaina blushed at Ben's remark.

"What am I going to do? Because I can't go with you to school" Alaina pointed out, "I have study leave today" said Ben, "so I will stay here and keep and eye on you", "Ben you really don't have to" I said, "I insist" he said, "alright" I said, "well Miles, let's get ready for school".

He nodded and we went to get ready.

"Would you like breakfast?" Ben asked Alaina, "breakfast would be great", Alaina said, smiling.

And there was the connection.

Me and Miles made it to school and went to our classes.

I made my way to Social Studies and saw Charlotte on the way, so we walked together (we have the same classes).

"Are you sure everything's okay?" she asked, "yeah, why?" I asked, "I saw you yesterday, in your car and your expression looked. . . horrified" she said "you know you can tell me anything" she said, "and if anything was wrong, I would" I told her "okay?", she smiled''okay ''.

Back at the house. . . . . . .

"Hahahaha" laughed Alaina, "DIE" yelled Ben, who was furiously clicking the buttons on his console.

"I thought you were supposed to be studying" said Alaina, "I've done my fair share of studying" said Ben, "and it's only for an exam, which I've already studied for".

"You wanna play?" he asked, "I've never played before" Alaina replied "don't worry I'll teach you" he said, Alaina smiled "alright then".

At school. . . . . . . .

"So where's Ben?" Anthony asked, "he has study leave" I replied quickly, before Miles could tell where he actually was.

"Yes, that's right," said Miles, giving me a wink.

I smiled and checked my phone. I had a message from Maria 'training session after school, see you then', I replied back 'sure thing see you then'.

"I've got training after school" I said to Miles, "so I'll need you to drop me off at the gym", "sure thing" he said winking again, "stop that, it's weird" I told him, he pouted, but stopped anyway.

After school Miles dropped me off at the training centre and told me to text him when I wanted to be picked up.

I shut the door and walked towards the front door.

I opened it and walked down the vast hallways towards the gym.

"Celine, welcome. We haven't had a training session in a while, so this one is going to be-" Maria started "intense" I said for her, "precisely".

"Right to start off with, I want you to warm up on the punching bag" said Maria.

I nodded and began wrapping my fists with tape and started punching the punching bag.

After 10 minutes Maria returned from her office, "you tired?" she asked "not quite" I replied "good, do some kicks and try and make some of them fully raised" she instructed.

I obliged and started kicking the punching bag.

"Good, harder" she said, as I kicked the back again, sending it swinging.

I did that for another 10 minutes and then we walked over to the weights.

"Weighted lunges" she said, handing me two 7kg dumbbells, "yikes" I muttered and started the lunges.

I continued to use the weights and did lots of different exercises/drills.

"Are you tired now?" Maria asked, I was puffing and sweating "yes" I said my breathing was short and sharp.

"Good- '' she was cut off by the alarm system. There was an HNS member nearby.

"Quick, let's go," she said, beckoning me to follow her.

We ran back down the hallways and into the computer/information room.

Charlie and a few others were gathered by the main screen. I looked at it expecting to see a red dot on the location of the map, but what I saw shocked me.

There were dozens of red dots, which means there was an army of HNS members and they were heading for Rolleston, fully armed.

"Oh my god" I whispered, covering my mouth with my hand.
