Agent BlueBird

Chapter 10-The mission

Rebecca has received almost a month of grueling self-defense and telepathy training.

Rebecca is on her way the The Grill after a hard day of school. She enters the training area and walks to the locker room, which she shares with Kyan, and he will never let her forget it. She opens her locker and is surprised when she sees a brand-new suit hanging inside. It looks very much like her training one except for that it is one piece. It remarkably resembles a wetsuit, but it is made from different material. It is black with red accents and seems to have knee and elbow pads. Her code name "Agent Bluebird" is sown on in red curly letters where her heart would be when she's wearing it. Rebecca sticks her hand out and grabs the sleeve, moving cautiously.

Her mother's head suddenly pops in the doorway. "Do you like it?" Her mother asks excitedly. Rebecca looks at her mother with an amazed expression. She almost can't form any words and takes a few seconds to form a coherent sentence.

"Wow! It is really beautiful but why did you give this to me?" She asks finally, still holding the sleeve in her hand.

"It is your mission suit," her mother says with a wide smile as she steps inside the room. She is wearing a suit that looks just like the one hanging in Rebecca's locker.

"It is for the mission you are going on," her mother says as the smile widens into a huge grin on her face. She starts bouncing on the balls of her feet like a little girl on Christmas morning.

"I'm going on a mission?" Rebecca asks in surprise, her eyes as wide as saucers. Extreme excitement starts bubbling up inside her as she turns her attention back to the suit she will shortly be wearing.

"Yup, me and Dad talked about it, and we think you're ready. You won't be fighting however, your father said you are not quite ready yet. Between you and me I think he is just worried that you might get hurt." She gives Rebecca a wink and pauses for a while expectantly. "Well, you better put on your suit and meet us inside the training room for our pre-mission briefing." She hurries Rebecca along and leaves the room with a wave.

Rebecca puts on the suit and admires her reflection in the mirror for a while. The suit fits like a glove and really complements her entire look. She puts her hair, which appears to have an auburn tint under the scrutinizing white light, into a ponytail and heads into the training room. A large square table is folded out of one of the cupboards and the whole gang is seated around the table, including Kyan who gives her a broad grin as she approaches. Rebecca walks to the table and pulls out a chair next to her mother. She flops down onto the chair, obviously upset that Kyan is there too, although she is not sure why she thought he would not be there.

She shakes her head slightly and tells herself that she will not let him ruin her first mission by upsetting her. Kyan leans in to say, "You look really nice in that tight little outfit." And winks at her. To which she responds with a silent groan of annoyance and disgust.

Her father stands up and starts with the pre-mission briefing. "Okay, so. Firstly, let's welcome Agent Bluebird on her first mission." They all clap hands but the most excited applause however comes from Kyan, who even starts whooping.

Rebecca rolls her eyes at his childish actions. Her father quiets him however and continues, "We have intel that a huge drug deal is taking place at about 17:45, which gives us almost 30 minutes to finish this briefing and go to the location we were tipped off. It is our responsibility to get in there and stop this deal from taking place. Also, some of the biggest dealers will be there, so we have to capture them and take them into custody. This is how it is going to work: We will go to the given address and you, Agent Eagle, will make them float by decreasing the gravitational pull around that specific location. You will then increase it and smash them into the ground to disable them. Don't kill them and try not to injure them but don't go too easy on them either. Me and Agent R will enter and sort out anybody that is reluctant to co-operate as well as capture the fugitives. Agent Bluebird you will use your ability to find out who is who, whether they are lying when we ask questions and so on. No getting physical, I'm warning you." Rebecca nods in consent with her father's instructions.

They all pack up their things and head to the designated area in their 'team van'. When they arrive, there are no cars outside the building or people hanging around outside, suggesting that the deal has already started taking place. Kyan starts to work his magic as they approach the building with the van. As he does so, you can see that the things not attached to the floor of the lot start to float. The car comes to a halt and Kyan jumps out first just as it stops. He takes in the scenery of the abandoned warehouse, his hands stretched out in front of him. "Rebecca tell me how many people are in that warehouse," Kyan shouts over his shoulder as the others get out of the car. Rebecca closes her eyes, searching with her mind's eye, and opens them again.

Yellow light streams out of the windows and due to the lighted interior, you can see people and things floating inside. "Six, six people. Unless I missed someone. But I don't think so," Rebecca rambles off. Kyan looks to Rebecca's father and nods as a signal for the next step of the plan. He concentrates his influence on a smaller part of the building. He slightly lifts his hands and brings them down fast and hard, causing gravity to rapidly increase. Objects drop at an immense speed and some hollow ones are even crushed.

"They should be pinned to the ground. Some may have broken bones. Which will immobilize them to an extent," Kyan says in a completely uncharacteristically serious tone. Rebecca is slightly taken back by his sudden professional attitude but comes back down to earth almost immediately. They all run to the old, unchained door which leads into the warehouse. Rebecca's father is first to enter, then her mother, then her and coming up the rear is Kyan. Kyan is still holding the drug dealers down as he walks carefully behind the rest.

They enter a huge room that looks like a hurricane has swept through it, which in a way has. Numerous objects and men lie scattered all across the entire room. They scan the room and Rebecca's father starts jogging forward. As they get closer to the dealers, they can feel the gravity pulling them closer to the earth. Rebecca's father tells her to stay close to Kyan and away from the dealers. He and her mother go closer to the dealers while she stays behind with Kyan. Her mother's knees start to buckle from the pull of gravity. The dealers start to scream uncontrollably when they hear the heavy footsteps. Rebecca's father nods to Kyan, to signal to let gravity return to normal. Kyan closes his hands and let's his arms hang next to his sides in a swift movement.

Most of the dealers jump up after they feel the gravitational pull return to normal, but a few keep lying on the floor. They are probably the ones who have broken bones. Some of them try to stand up, but they let out painful grunts and collapse on the ground again. Rebecca's mother and father grab the ones that stand up and get them on their knees again. Some of the men are disorientated from the differences in gravity and submit easily.

One tall, dark-haired man stands up and motions to kick her father in the back as he is holding another large man to the ground with his face against the floor. Her mother however sees the guy coming and kicks him at the back of his knees causing him to fall down. She sits on him in a sort of comical manner when the same man she was holding down previously comes to attack her. Rebecca reacts immediately and runs forward but he turns on her, hearing her approaching footsteps. She seizes the opportunity and kicks him in the face as she approaches him. He falls to the ground with a hand over his face and soon a small puddle of blood forms next to his head.

"Now that we have your attention," Kyan says with a cocky grin on his face, feeling quite satisfied.

All the men are positioned against a wall in a line. Rebecca has to act as a lie detector and say when they are not telling the truth, she catches some of them lying a few times. They took the whole gang and handed them over to the police. They also got a reward of $10 000, since they were some of the biggest dealers and most wanted men in the business.

This is where the "Agent" part comes in. Sorry it took a while to get to that part, but there is a lot of history and explaining to do. What did you think of Rebecca's first mission?

If you are still reading/commenting/voting. I just want to say, I really appreciate the time you are taking to enjoy this story. It just gives me so much joy and motivation when I hear feedback. Thanks xox
