Learning The Truth

The Beginning

        Shit. I looked at my wrist again, disbelieving the time. Unluckily for me, my watch wasn'y lying. 23:55. I had 5 minutes left to complete the mission. If I didn't, I would fail the test and I would be demoted back to Level One. I grimaced. I  hated Level One with a passion. All of the higher rank officers had treated me like like dirt. Wait, not dirt, they treated me like something less than dirt. Yeah, there are things lower than dirt but I'm not going to tell you exactly what they are. There are some things people should just not know about.

        I shook my head. Now was not the time to be ranting. I had a mission to complete. I looked around for it. Shit. Three minutes left. WHERE THE HECK IS HARRY STYLE'S GOLD THONG!? It wasn't in any of the suitcases or under the bed! Where else could it be!? It has to be here somewhere, I'm pretty sure the popstar would have it in his tour bus. That's when I found it, in the couch cusions. WHY HADN'T I LOOKED THERE!? Oh yeah, I was thinking like a somewhat normal 20 year old girl. Not like a 19 year old male popstar. You're are probably thinking a lot of things right now so I should probably explain myself. Right now, before you get completly lost...

        My name is Ivy Shrink, I'm 20 years old, and I am a secret spy. There, that's all you'll ever need to learn about me. If you tried to find me there will be no trace of my existence-unless you broke into Headquarters. But that's impossible. HQ is very well disguised and not one outside person even knows about any of this, not even our families. Mine thinks I died four years ago in a car crash. Sad right? Well that's just my life. I had to learn to love it or I would've lost myself in the process.

        Anyways, after I joined the NIA (National Intelligence Agency) my whole life changed. I got a new identidy, a new home, a new everything. That day is the second saddest day of my life. But I risked it all so I could be with my boyfriend. Now, now he's gone. On my first mission, Trent, my boyfriend was supposed to teach me how to sneak past sequrity. It didn't end so well. We alerted the guards who came running as fast as they could. I could tell these were no ordinary security guards. They were hired assasains. Somehow, someone knew about the NIA and was planning on destroying us. Trent realized this and looked me in the eyes. "Ivy I want you to remember that I love you. I always will." Those were his last words before he was shot in the head. I will never forgive the guy who killed Trent, and I will never stop hunting him down. Even if it kills me, I will be the one to end his life. No matter what.

        I haven't had a mission since then. But today, today Headquarters thought it would be a great idea to give me a pop quiz. At least that's the equivalent to what I am basically doing right now in a high schooler's mind. I woke up in my tiny apartment and had gotten my usual coffee when Tiffany came down and told me Agent One wanted to see me. No one really knows his real name, so that's what we call him. When I got there, he basically told me either I complete this mission or I will be booted back down to Level One. Considering it took me a whole year to get to Level Two, I did not want to go back at least not without someone there with me.

        Agent One however, took pity on my grief and gave me three options for my mission. The first one was to break into some random building without being detected at all. That was too easy. The second one was to get through an obstacle course. You're probably sitting on your bed thinking pfft, I've been doing those since I was in diapers. Well NIA level obstacle courses include lasers, guys with guns shootiong at you, the whole package. Definitly not worth 6 months in the hospital. The last one, the one I chose, was to sneak into One Direction's tour bus and steal Harry Style's famed gold thong.

        Since there was no way I was going to do the first two options, I decided on the third. That would explain why right now, I am currently hanging onto the roof of their tour bus for my dear life. I had made it halfway through the skylight when the overly large suitcase I was standing on fell, leaving my legs to dangle from the ceiling. And that's how the famous boy band, One Direction, found me. Hanging from the ceiling of their tour bus.

"Uh Liam... Why is there a leg dangling from the ceiling? IS IT A PINATA!?"

"No Louis, that there is a probably a fan trying to break in to our tour bus."

        Shit. If they saw my face I was done for. Over. Completely and utterly over. Using what little strength I had left, I pulled myself on top of the roof and pressed the button for the chopper to come and pick me up. Hopefully it would come soon.

"Who are you and why were you in our bus?" Zayn questioned me.

"Eh hem, I don't know who you think you are, breaking into our bus and stealing my underwear but when Zayn asks you a question, you better answer him." Harry growled at me.

        I probably should have used a stun ray but because I wasn't Level freaking Three, all I had was a cool spy watch thing and a laser pointer. Deciding on the laser pointer, I grabbed it from my pocket and shone it in Niall's eyes. Niall let out a yelp of pain and covered his eyes. Liam and Zayn stared at me in shock, Louis was pinching himself, and Harry was barreling torward me, trying to tackle me. Too bad Mr. Styles but I know Martial Arts!

        I grabbed his hand at the last second and did that cool ninja thing where you flip your enemy over your head. It was cool. I was cool. Wait, I'm always cool cause I'm a super secret ninja spy with Smurf henchmen! Okay, I admit, the last part wasn't true but you get the point right? I'm just an awesome kind of gal.

        I was too busy complimenting myself to realise my ride-er well helicoptor was here. Without a backwards glance, I grabbed the rope ladder and started to climb up. Unfortunately, the guys I had just gotten away from grabbed the ladder too. I did some quick thinking and kicked the closest one to me. Which also happened to be my favorite. Louis. He went crashing back down, bringing the others with him. The last thing I saw before I was whisked into the coptor by Tiffany was their shocked expressions. Our faces locked for a few seconds. They were stunned beyond belief.

"Ivy?" Liam recognized me even though it had been four years. Once we were a good 5 minutes away from them, Tiffany turned around and started to yell at me. I, of course zoned her out. I was too busy remembering my old life with the boys.

Harry's Point of View

"Did I just get beat up by a girl!? Not just any girl but Ivy!? The girl who's suppsed to be a pile of ashes!?"

"Um yeah dude. Pretty embarresing right?" Zayn asked me.

"Wait did I just say that out loud?"

"Yeah, you did... Are you okay?" Niall asked me. 

"I don't understand! Isn't she dead!? Am I hallucinating? Did Ivy, Simon's niece come here and then leave by a helicopter!?" I burst out. I-we had to tell Simon. I picked my phone up, ready to diall him but Louis took it from me and shook his head.

"No Harry we can't call Simon!" He exclaimed.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN'T CALL SIMON!? HE'S HER FUCKING UNCLE! ONE WOULD THINK HE WOULD WANT TO KNOW HIS ONLY NIECE ISN'T DEAD!" I exploded.

"Calm down Harry,we can't call him because when the helicoptor flew off, this piece of paper floated down. Read what it says." I read it and anger once again swept through me. Heres what it said:

Do NOT call anyone, we will know if you do. Ivy is certainly not dead-as you just found out-she is merely working for me for the greater good. She is in good hands and should return to you with a full apology on my behalf in a few short months. In the meantime, have fun.

P.S. Like I said before, do not tell anyone of this. If you do, something might happen...

The last thoughts going through my mind before I passed out were troubling. Why did Ivy dissappear so suddenly? Why was she suddenly back? Who was Agent One? What was he doing to Ivy? What the fuck was going on!? Then I remember no more because I passed out. Being slammed twice on a metal bus roof really hurts.
