Joshua was absolutely pissed.
For one, he was just manipulated by a 14 year old.
Second, the 14 year old was me.
But before he could hit me, a bullet hit the gun out of his hand.
A bullet from Erica's gun.
She glanced over at me with a look that said "Seriously?"
"I have a good explanation, I promise!" I put my hands up in surrender.
"He's my hostage!"
Murray suddenly grabbed me and pulled out a concealed gun.
"Don't move! Or else Ben dies!" He put the gun to my temple.
"What the hell is going on?!" I whispered to Murray.
"If they find out you joined me, you'll get arrested!" He whispered back.
"But what if they take me back?" I asked.
"Then I'm going with you."
Before I could protest, he clamped a hand over my mouth and pulled me closer.
"Just let my friends leave and I'll let him live!" He shouted.
Erica lowered her gun.
Murray shoved me over to her.
Before putting on a smirk, he flashed me a small smile.
He walked over to Tess and Rem and whispered to them.
They looked over to me with expressions of sadness.
"I'll miss you." Tess mouthed.
I made a small nod in response.
Me too, Tess. Me too...
Tess and Rem started to run past the CIA agents, but something blocked their way. Something I got familiar with when I was impersonating Prince Quincy.
"Hey! Let us out!"
Royal guards grabbed the girls' arms.
"What is going on?!" Erica cried. Clearly she hadn't expected this either.
"Sorry, but I can't let any of you leave this place."
A soft, posh, familiar voice approached the door.
Prince Quincy.
"What are you doing here?" Murray cried.
"My family owns Appraiser Corps." The prince casually mentioned.
"But, I thought-"
"SPYDER owned it?"
Prince Quincy had a smug, sinister look on his face.
"They handed it over to my family in exchange for our funds." He said.
"In fact, they specifically instructed me to eliminate Murray if he ever tried to make a deal."
"If it hadn't been for Ben mucking things up as per usual, we would've already succeeded."
I instinctively stepped back.
"Why are you developing a virus? What do you or your family have to gain from joining up with SPYDER?" I demanded.
"Immunity."
"You see, SPYDER has big plans for that concoction. It's very contagious and very dangerous. Imagine what they could do with a bio weapon of that caliber!"
The plan clicked in my head.
"You're planning to use the virus as leverage! With the threat of a fatal lab-made virus, you're gonna get the world leaders to hand their power over to you!" I yelled out.
Prince Quincy flinched in surprise.
"They really weren't kidding..." He murmured.
"That's right! You may have loads of money and resources, but you're no match for Ben's nerd power!" Murray made a smug grin.
I flashed him an annoyed look.
Prince Quincy made a barely audible growl.
"Guards! Get rid of them!" He barked.
Before one of the guards could hit me, Erica kicked him away.
"Explanation. Now." She demanded.
"I was assigned to impersonate Prince Quincy to keep SPYDER from forming an alliance with the Valent Kingdom! But it seems like I was too late..." I blurted out.
"And what about the team-up with Murray? You two seemed awfully friendly before I came in." She narrowed her eyes at me.
"It's a long story... I promise I'll tell you after we get out of here!" I said hastily.
"Fine. But you'd better make good on that promise." She grudgingly agreed.
She ran off to fight the guards blocking the exit.
"Hey, Ben! Here!"
Murray tossed me a stun gun.
"Where did you get this?!"
"I swiped it from security!" He smirked.
"You never change, do you?" I sighed.
He shrugged and went back to fighting.
I made good use of the weapon, stunning the guards around me.
Stun guns are underrated! You don't need any skill, you just turn it on and jab someone!
Perfect for me!
I saw Mike and my face split into a big smile.
"Mike!"
I quickly stunned the guard beside me and ran over to him.
"Ben! You're okay! I've never been so happy to see you in my entire life!" He had the same smile on his face.
"And what's with you and Murray? Didn't he try to kill you on multiple occasions?" He asked, confused.
"I'll explain later..."
We stood back to back, fighting off the enemies in our way.
"Ben, watch out!" Mike cried out.
I barely had time to turn around to see the guard about to stab me with his pocket knife.
"You stay away from my boyfriend!"
Murray had jumped up and locked his arms and legs around the guard, dragging him down the ground and jabbing him with his stun gun.
"Thanks... you saved my life...!" I panted.
"1 down, 7 more to go!" He joked.
"You know, for every time I tried to kill you!"
I couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Boyfriend?!"
We both turned our heads to a very confused and surprised Mike.
"You bet your ass you're gonna explain after this!" He said.
Murray sheepishly laughed. "Yeah...I guess we owe everyone an explanation..."
Soon, all the guards have either fallen unconscious or been incapacitated.
Prince Quincy's cheeks were flushed with anger.
I could hear him swear under his breath.
"This isn't over! I'll be back! You haven't seen the last of Prince Quince Valent the Fou-"
Before he could finish, someone tasered him.
Erica.
"They never shut up." She rolled her eyes.
"Agents, take him in."
The men nodded, handcuffing Prince Quincy and dragging him away.
She looked around the room and swore.
I realized what she cursed about.
Joshua was gone.
