(told in perspective of Matthew Crustello)
When Danny and Draco took their positions, Andrometa, Pandal, Brutus, and I snuck into the camp, breaking off into teams of two, as we had planned. Andrometa and I branched off to the east side of the camp, but based on the setup of the camp, I was pretty sure Cassandra would be on the west side. I just needed to talk to Andrometa a bit. I mean, we hadn't gotten any alone time since that one night, and we still weren't even alone then. Now, I could finally talk to her. The only issue was, I feel like I am too nervous to talk to her. My hands started to clam up, my throat started to get dry, and I felt like I was going to completely melt.
"So! Cassandra probably won't be in any of these tiny tents since they are most likely for supplies and equipment, so that narrows the search down a bit." Andrometa marched ahead, leading our two person search team.
She's always straight down to business I thought to myself, that's what I love about her. I looked at her, she wasn't even looking back, she was so focused on the mission. I wonder what she is thinking right now...
(Andrometa's perspective)
Don't look back don't look back don't look back, focus focus focus, stoooooop thinking about him. He's not into you, and you SHOULDN'T be into him, and if you look back you wont be able to move and you'll make a complete fool of yourself. FOCUS ON THE MISSION!
"Andrometa..." I felt his hand touch my shoulder, I immediately felt my face grow red but refused to turn around. I'm going to embarrass myself I'm going to embarrass myself, don't turn around don't turn around!
"Andrometa, I've been meaning to talk to you, about the other night." My body shut down, I came to a complete stop. "Look Andrometa, I'm just gonna flat out say it, I love you, and I'm not just gonna sit around and do nothing about it. I love you more than words can say and nothing in the world could stop me from loving you, not even a war." My heart skipped a beat, I could hear that he was sincere. He loves me! He really loves me! But what about the mission? I need to finish the mission. "Andrometa could you please say something, or even turn around, I just..." I turned around and noticed I was crying. "Wha-whats wrong Andrometa?"
"I wish I could love you too..." I looked into his eyes, longingly, then I pushed him aside and pressed a button on a star keychain, "but the mission, comes first." my heart completely melted as an alarm blared throughout the entire camp. Brutus, Pandal, and Cassandra came running from one side of the camp and Draco and Danny from the other, along with 70 guards trailing all of them. They collided and the guards handcuffed them all. I looked over at Matthew who had started to cry uncontrollably. Two guards came to restrain him.
" HOW COULD YOU?!" he yelled as the guards dragged them all away. "HOW COULD YOU I LOVED YOU?!" I had to turn my head away, his voice was fainter now, and growing fainter by the second.
Mrs. Sherman, the leader of the entire Estrella organization came over to me and patted me on the back, "I came personally to tell you how good of a job you did, and to give you the credit you deserve. You are truly one of my most promising agents." She told me, and she bent down towards my ear and whispered, "If it makes you feel better, we can finally initiate order 49 with you as our new agent." My heart pounded as Mrs. Sherman walked away. I looked towards the prisoners tent longingly. I started to cry,"I loved you too Matthew Crustello, and I-I don't know what to do." I broke down into tears, continually asking myself the same question: what have I done?
THE END
