Teenage Spy Life

State 2

Orlando, Florida

Spy rule # 22: Always be ready for a fight

I woke up to the bright, warm Florida sun bursting through my window and heating my skin. My mom must be cooking breakfast downstairs in the kitchen, because all I can smell is the bacon aroma making its way up into my room and making my stomach growl. I roll out of bed and jump into the shower. When I'm done I quickly towel off and get dressed for school. When I stepped out of my room I could hear movement coming from down the hall in my parents room, which means my father is also awake.

I make my way down stairs and into the kitchen where my mother is. She hears me enter the kitchen so she looks up and greets me with her warm smile and says "Good Morning Honey, how did you sleep?"

I was already walking towards the refrigerator when she asked so I pulled out some orange juice and set it on the table first and then I walked over to my mom and I kissed her on the cheek while saying "Morning mom, I slept alright."

She then start putting breakfast on plates while I poured three glasses of orange juice. Once I finished pouring the juice I put it back the refrigerator. By the time i came back to the table my mom had already put everyones plates down where they usually sit. Her and i eat in a peaceful silence, until my dad finally descends down stairs he kissed my mom's cheek and went to fix his morning cup of coffee. After he finishes pouring it he sit down at the head of the table with my mom to his left and me to his right. He looks at me and greets "Morning son."

I simply reply "Morning dad."

Once again we all eat in a silence, this time though it isn't a peaceful one. When I finished eating I put my plate in the sink and I head back upstairs to finish getting ready for school. A little while later I hear my mom yell up the stairs "Alexander James! It is time to go! You'll be late for school!"

I yelled back "Coming!"

I walked down the stairs and get into my mom's car. She gets into the drivers seat and we were off. We ride silently for a while. The only noise in the car was our breathing and a little bit of noise that was coming from the radio. My mom suddenly asks " Do you have football practice after school?"

I nod my head while saying "Yes, why?"

She replies "Because you have a private school interview this evening. Remember? You can't be late. Being late would not look good."

I then say "Oh yeah I forgot that it was today. I'll walk straight to the office that the interview is taking place right after practice. Oh and mom the letter said I could be unreachable for over five hours. They said interview process is long enough that they don't need it to be made longer by kids being on their cell phones. "

She sighs and says "Okay hunny, but call when you leave football practice and when you leave the interview."

I said "I promise mom."

We pull up to my school and I kiss her cheek and I tell her goodbye and she makes me promise that I'll be safe and makes me promise again about calling her. I then get out of the car and walk to my locker. I am immediately swarmed by my football friends and cheerleaders. Alyssa, the captain of the cheering team, was all over me. She always is, but I have no interest in her. She gets around and I don't want that but she doesn't seem to understand that I am not and never will be interested in her.

My day goes by pretty fast except for the times Alyssa was throwing herself at me. By then end of the day I was pretty much hiding from her. Then it was my favorite part of the day, football practice. By the time football practice was over I was exhausted, but I keep my promise, so I call my mom and let her know I am leaving football. She tells me to be safe, reminds me to call her after the interview and then hangs up.

As i'm walking down the street I notice a man in suit following me. I then notice that there is a black suburban that is also following me. I look around to see if anyone else is on the street. Unfortunately for me there wasn't, but it was late at night so it was a long shoot for someone to be out anyways. I was thinking about running but I realized the car would catch me. After weighing my different options I decide my best option was to be ready to fight.

The man started to jog towards me so I I balled my fist ready to punch him, but the guy says "Excuse me young man, but can you help me?"

I turned to look at him and I thought that maybe I was being paranoid a few minutes ago. But then I saw a needle filled with something in the inside pocket of his jacket. I stayed calm and decided to check to see if the black suburban was still around and sure enough it was stopped.

I replied "yes sir, how can I help you?"

He seem surprised. He must of been surprise by the way I responded, but he soon starts to ask, " Thank you. Do you happen to know..."

Before he could finish I punched him in the nose so hard you could hear it crack. Soon the suburban comes screeching up and two guy pop out. We began fighting too. At first I thought that they would take me in like the first three minutes but I was holding my own. I held my own until they got a lucky hit to my stomach where I lost my breath. The two seconds I was breathless the somehow jammed the needle into my neck. They tossed me into suburban and blind folded me and then I passed out.
