Unexpected Recruitment

Chapter 17: Transfer

"You've got to be kidding me." She let the suitcase handle go, "Don't count your eggs before the chicks hatch."

Aaron was sitting in the living-room sofa seeming as if he was waiting for her, "You have a mission to do."

Letting out a dry laugh Amy looked down at her suitcase watching as the duffle bag shifted and fell off the suitcase.

"A mission you say." She let out a sigh, "Is this the reason that Melody said it was okay for me to take the promotion because my mission is in this location?"

"That's right." Aaron answered as stood up from the sofa and sauntered across into the connecting kitchen nearby, "I boiled some water, I figured you would need some tea to calm down.  Or coffee." He opened the cupboard and pulled out a small box of chamomile packets, and a glass container of instant coffee, "There's only instant coffee at this time if you wanted a different kind."

"I think I'll just drink some coffee; we'll probably be talking for a while aren't we." She walked around her suitcase and walked into the kitchen, sitting in one of the chairs in front of the island, "Is there any sugar and creamer?"

'Stupid acid reflux.' She cursed her stomach for the changes to her diet on what to eat and drink at times.

"Would you please explain." Amy sighed out as she added two sugar cubes into her cup of coffee and a drizzle of half and half.

Aaron stirred his own coffee, "It's not entirely a lie about the promotion, well at least the work part that is.  The promotion was never really there to begin with." He took a sip, "You could say we called in a favor to get you here for this mission."

Taking a sip of her own coffee, Amy gave Aaron a questioning look, "Will I even be working there at all?"

Aaron nodded, "You will, though not as much.  Your mission will require a lot of your time.  At best you'll work on weekends, and work at least three to four hours during weekdays if you do get any hours."

Amy stared into her coffee and asked, "What's my mission then?"

"Infiltration."

Letting out a scoff Amy replied, "Am I going to infiltrate the place I'm going to be working at?  Am I going by myself?"

"No and no." Aaron said, "This mission has nothing to do with your work, and you won't be going alone."

Amy looked up at Aaron, "Who am I going with?"

Aaron raised a brow, "Why do you think I'm here for?  I'll be going with you for this mission, I've been there for a while now getting some things ready for you.  I'll tell you more about it tomorrow morning, get some rest.  You still have to go to work tomorrow and meet with them."

"Okay." Amy looked down at her phone and saw that it was now two in the morning, "Though I don't think I'll be getting enough sleep."

"You'll be working three hours every shift, your workdays are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Your pay will be twelve dollars an hour."

Amy listened intently as her new employer explained things to her, 'Is he the one they called for the favor?  Or is there someone higher than him?'

As if seeming to know what she wanted to ask, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Amy shook her head, "No.  I've understood everything.  Thank you for explaining everything for me Mr. Jiovanni."

Jiovanni looked at her for a few seconds before speaking once again, "I'm sure that Aaron has explained some things.  Am I correct?" At seeing her expression change, "Your schedule will change depending on what's happening with your work."

"Mr. Jiovanni do you also work...." Jiovanni cut her off before she could finish speaking.

"You shouldn't talk about that so carelessly.  I've already said too much right now." He then leaned in closer into his desk, beckoning Amy to do the same, "If you have any questions for me concerning the other work, Aaron will let me know.  We have a way to communicate.  For safety reasons."

"Okay." Amy whispered out.

Jiovanni sat back straight, "Now that you know what you need to know, you may go back home, rest and prepare for work."

Amy nodded, "Before I go, can I ask something?"

"Sure."

She licked her dry lips, "Are you the one who called my previous job and told them to promote me?"

Jiovanni slightly smiled, his green eyes shown with mirth as he did so, "Yes."

"Is this why you had me study all this time?" Amy asked as she looked at a file on the table as soon as she walked into the house that morning after talking to Jiovanni, "I'm going to be infiltrating a school.  A high school."

Aaron nodded, "Correct.  I'll also be there as a teacher, physical education."

Amy blanched at that as she remembered his training at the mere thought she felt as if her ribs ached, 'I don't know you kids, but I feel sorry for you.'

"So, am I going to be a teacher?  No, more like a teacher's assistant or maybe work in the office?" She muttered as she read her information of her knew identity, "Seriously?" She glanced up at Aaron.

"Jacqueline Moore, age 17, birthday August 1st, living with uncle and aunt.  Uncle is Martin Moore, aunt is Jessica Moore." Amy read out loud, "So, I'm Jacqueline Moore, but who is this uncle and aunt?"

Aaron slid his own file to Amy, "Martin Moore." He said, "Your aunt will be coming tomorrow, she's also one of our agents."

"I've already got things ready for you, you're transferring in as new student on August fifteenth, you only have fourteen days to get ready.  And when you see me at school refer to me as Mr. Moore.  Though outside of school hours, make sure to call me uncle."

In the fourteen days to get ready to become Jacqueline, Amy met Jessica her new aunt, who is the school nurse for the year.

Amy learned that her parents were out of country resulting in her new housing accommodations.
