Spy School : Operation Avenging Alligator

Back To D.C

Location : Washington, D.C
Time : 4:01am
POV : Mike
Date : December 14th

I woke up to Catherine shaking me violently. "What?" I asked groggily "We gotta go Michael!" Catherine exclaimed. I shot up and quickly grabbed my stuff and exited the plane with Catherine right on my tail. We met up with the others and piled into a SUV and Catherine floored the gas before we could even sit down. I quickly sat down and buckled my seatbelt, then I looked at Catherine in the rear view mirror and I saw the look in her eyes, worried and scared. I realized where we were going, Langley, Virginia or the home of the CIA Headquarters. We made it to the building quickly because of Catherine careless driving.

Catherine quickly hopped out of the car and ushered us out of the SUV and walked us to an conference room and there sitting was the director of the CIA, the director of the FBI, and President Stern. We all took a seat but were all in shock from being in the same room of three very important individuals. Then the President spoke in such a diplomatic and serious tone "As you agents know of two very important agents have been captured, and just a few hours ago I received a video, a very disturbing one, and its from the people that captured the agents". Then he continued and asked "Would you all like to see it" and we all nodded in agreement, and he put up the video.

     What I saw made me go as white as a sheet and cry on the inside. I saw Ben getting stabbed, shot and just tortured over and over again and them repeatedly asking him to give them the information but he refused every single time. I thought that was worse enough but they even made Erica watch the love of her life get tortured. Then I yelled to the President "Turn it off!" I said in a demanding tone, but he refused and Catherine held me back from turning it off myself. And I regret not trying hard enough to turn it off myself, Ben was getting stabbed in the chest multiple times, very close to the heart and the torturer left the room, and he said in such a hurt and scared voice. "To whoever is watching this, I-I don't think I'm gonna make it, please tell Erica and my parents I love them a-and the we are right under a Starbucks in downtown D.C, pl-please don't worry about me when you g-get here j-just s-save E-Erica" and those were my best friend's last words.

      President Stern turned off the video and faced back to us, and we all were crying, even the President himself. Then he said "Go to the Starbucks and save them". We all nodded and walked out and back to the car. We all got in and sat in silence, then we all let the dams of tears break away. I kept mumbling to myself that he is still alive and every did the same thing as me, trying to think positive. But I was gonna avenge Ben no matter what Catherine, the gang, or even what President Stern says, Because friends always have each other's backs.
