Undercover Love

Chapter 3

I sat up groggily as the screeching of my alarm clock got louder. Shutting it off, I looked and the time and almost jumped. "5:15! Oh no!" I groaned as I rolled out of bed. Training started at 5:30 sharp, and I was going to be late on my first day, not the best first impression. Luckily, my suit could be quickly put on, and I just ran a brush through my hair, pulling it back into a high ponytail, then rushed out the door. I paused before the door to the training room, composed myself, and walked into at exactly 5:30. I spotted Agent White up in the front with another, older man, while the rest of the room was spotted with 4 other men and women. Agent White's lips quirked in an attempt not to smile as he approached me. I rolled my eyes "You're annoyingly cheerful for so early in the morning" Agent White chuckled "It's because the teacher here expects you to be terrible, pretty much all the recruits have a terrible aim when they come to us, by the way, that's agent 15" "Is aim the only thing you care about?" "Of course not! We also look for fighting skills, knife skills, and so on. Let me guess, aim is the only thing your good at?" I crossed my arms and frowned, rage building up inside me "One-on-one later and I'll show you!" Agent White's eyebrows went up "Really? Ok, you're on!". Just then Agent 15 called out in a rough voice "Agent White! I need your help up here. Agent Black, stop yapping and fall in!"

I chuckled as I entered the training room, it was a break, and most of the other recruits were in the training room, but standing off to the side talking. Spotting Agent White, I smiled as I came close and he started chuckling "Did you see Agent 15's face when you got the perfect shot?" "Yep, it was like he had seen a ghost or something!" "And the other recruits turned into statues" My body shook with laughter "That was so much fun!" Agent White nodded, then suddenly grabbed my hand and tried to take out my legs. I had done this multiple times, and a surprise attack was one of the oldest tricks in the book. Easily moving my legs away, I grabbed his arm, flipped over him, causing him to fall back, and landed with my knee on his chest. Agent White's eyes opened in alarm and I chuckled, helping him up. "Woah! That was a pretty good move, good reflexes too, where did you learn that?" "My dad" "Wow, your dad must have been pretty cool" "He was" "Was?" "Uh, did you want to train with knives next or something?" "Oh, uh, actually why don't we go again, I was just going easy on you" "Yeah right".

After several more rounds and several more victories, I went back to my room to see if I could make a call back to my boss. I was just about to call him when Agent White came into my room. Startled, I jumped up, then sat right back down as I recognized him. He chuckled "Sorry, what are you doing?" "I was trying to make a phone call back home before you barged into my room" "You do know they hear all your calls' right?" "What?" "This is the Mafia Agent Black, not a social group, they're going to hear every call, track every number, and before too long, they'll know everything about you" My eyes widened, but I took a deep breath and stood up "They won't get everything on me, that's for sure" As I started to go out, Agent White grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, forcing me to sit down next to him. "I came in here for a reason you know" I put a hand over my chest and said mockingly "Really!? I thought you just wanted to see me" Agent White rolled his eyes but said "That too. Anyway, the boss just said he is coming in a couple of days, some of their agents have gone missing and they need new ones to come and step in" I groaned "Why am I always backup for everything?" "What do you mean?" "I'm back up if anybody I know needs help, I'm back up driver, I'm back up this, I'm back up that. Now I'm back up for this. So annoying" Agent White smiled "Well if you still want to work here, I suggest you show the boss what you're capable of" I bit my lip "You mean if I still want to live?" "A little dark, but yes" "Please everything about the Mafia is dark" "Not true, do you think we are some kind of brutes or something?" "Well you do kill someone if they don't pay you on time, and if they know anything about your order, or if they screw up once and..." "Ok ok, I get it. If you think the Mafia is so dark, why join?" "Cause it fits me perfectly, and so far, you guys value my skills" "In your last job, did they not value your skills?" "No...I was back up" "Ok" Agent White got up, heading for the door "Remember, he's coming in a few days, so show him your best!"
