Faked Deaths

Chapter 11

We walk quickly down they hall as our peer agents stared at us in awe from the fact that we were about to go on our first mission within a 3 weeks. Katherine awaits us down the hall. Something in her eyes reminds me about how we used to have sleepovers and talk about boys, how girls could dress so sluty and how Gloria became a teen mother from a guy she had a one night stand was and her complaining because she couldn't have the vodka based drinks. 

Now that we weren't talking it was weird to think of a time where we were once best friends and once so close, that we'd always tell each other everything. Now that I look back, I realize everything she told me was a lie. That everything we grew up gossiping on was all built up on a lie. Once we get together and we are face to face with Katherine I look away from her feeling more awkward than walking in on her hooking up with some guy who doesn't know she's been lying to her too. 

"Hello guy's," Katherine says awkwardly. "Now, I get that you guys are a crew, but can you guys at least have a name, because sometimes it's confusing," she says revealing how she really acted growing up with her. 

My crew and I all look around at each other, well what are we supposed to be called? How were we supposed to know? I'm guessing we all had a clue, but it all had us wondering, who were we as a team. We were Justice and we were agents. "The Agents of Justice." I said. We all looked around at each other and shared a small smile with each other. We started feeling closer than ever. 

"Well, The Agents of Justice," Katherine expresses with a smile. Then she gets back to the serious face I have originally seen when I first saw her in a professional suit. "Follow." She starts to walk down the hall as we follow her footsteps with Isaiah on her side. Pulling out a note card coming from his vest pocket. Her heels once again stomping on the glass floor clanking as she strutted her way down the hallway. 

"The other side is on our tail. They know how strong we are building our organization and they want war. We tried to set an agreement, an alliance but they are just starting to crumple in a million pieces. They are starting to capture brilliant scientist to try and create missions to try and take over our Convention." Katherine says as she cuts the corner. 

I look at our team and we actually look like a team all wearing leather suits and all categorizing our personalities. Liz with leather shorts and a cropped leather shirt.  Cassidy wearing a dress showing off her legs and wearing boots with heels clanking along with her sisters. Matt shirtless. Isaiah, well, the same nerdy person. Jhene a long dress showing both her calves, with blue ice designs at the bottom of the dress. Andre, well, looking as perfect, as ever. Leather jacket with red flames coming up. We looked like a team. with looked like The Agents of Justice. 

I snapped out of the faze of how 'perfect' our team looked at the moment. "Well what is our mission?" I ask as we stop in front of a room that says "KEEP OUT". Katherine smiles as she bends down looks into a metal box. A green light scans her eyes. The monitor speaks and says 'Opening door for Katherine'. "Cool." I say in awe. 

"Your mission is to save the one person who knows what you look like, who knows who you are, where you are, everything about you." Katherine says to me. 

"Well, who would know everything about her?" Liz says stepping away from a spear she was touching with her hand on her hip. "Only people here know, there isn't anyone else-- right?" 

I look at Katherine as we stare at each other. "Gloria?" I ask as Kat looks away. "Why didn't you tell me she was going to be a threat?" I snap. 

"Okay, first, who the hell is Gloria?" Isaiah says looking up from his notepad. "Second, why is she a threat?" 

"She's my best friend, she doesn't know anything." I look at Katherine. Did she, what did they want with her? 

"She does," Katherine says painfully.
