Happy Holidays everyone!
Ben POV:
Another man came in here and yanked me out of the cell.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Boss wants to see you and your pesky little friends." he says in a gruff voice.
"Who's your boss?" I asked.
"I'm not stupid kid. It's highly classified information." he sneered. "Now shut up."
I knew better than to keep talking. I took the time to take in my surroundings. The hallways weren't full of color, it seemed like a gray 'back at spy school dorm room'. My stomach rumbled. I was starving. Who knew how long I'd been stuck in that cell?
The man tossed me into a room. All my friends were there, Mike, Zoe, and Erica, all in chains, like me. But no sign of Brooklyn, Sydney, Paris, Kat, and Rio. I looked up. There stood a tall, muscular man with tattoos all over his body. It was very intimidating, and he looked like what I would think an actual bad guy would look like before I went to spy school.
"What do you want?" Erica asked, glaring up at the man.
He gave a very creepy smile and said, "That was a good attempt on breaking in. Now tell me, what were you trying to steal?"
Erica looked at him defiantly. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I had a feeling you would say that. But no matter. I don't need to know what you WERE going to steal because you're not going to try it again."
"What do you mean?" I found myself saying.
"I am offering all of you a big opportunity. Something that we DON'T offer intruders. You should be inclined to accept or there will be consequences."
"What's the offer?" I asked. Could it be...?
"We here at Umbra, are offering you a position in our school. We think you've performed exceptionally well in your attempt to infiltrate our building."
"Surprise." Mike whispered to me. "He can say 'exceptionally'."
I couldn't help but snicker. That was rude, but it was funny. Thank God the guy didn't hear us though.
"You will be moved to a facility that will teach you all the things you will need to know..."
"What's in it for us?" Mike asked.
"You won't die." The man said, smirking.
"Fair enough." Mike answered.
"Oh, and if you graduate, you'll get paid."
"Sounds good," Zoe said. Her voice startled me. She hadn't said anything at all, so I maybe forgot about her. "I'm in."
"So am I," I said. "Seems better than dying at least."
"And you two?" The man asked Mike and Erica.
Mike shrugged. "Sure."
Erica glared at him but said, "Fine."
The plan was working...we were in.
