Tale of a Garden

Chapter 4: The Expedition

God someone help this Agent due to the fact that he has horrible taste in music.

I groaned as shoved my head into my hands from the passenger seat, letting the Agent know my discomfort.

Which to my luck or dismay, the Agent,who's name I've discovered is Scott Richard glanced over at me and laughed.

What nerve does this man have to laugh at someone who could easily end his life in seconds.

He quickly coughed to cover up the laughing.
"I didn't mean to come off rude, but you know that you can change the station, right?"

Oh boy don't I look like an imbecile.

He laughed at me again.
"Man I feel like you're older than you look, well consider yourself lucky, because we are nearing our destination."

Yes I feel quite lucky indeed.

I look up from my hands to look at the very classical building which might look along the lines of mansion.

This look more like a some billionaire home then a headquarters.

I kept rethinking the plan in my head as we pull up to the entrance to the H.Q.

"Okay man confession time." Agent Richard said as he parked the car.

I raised up my eyebrow.
Oh dear......what if he does confess his love to me.

"I'm a very big fan of what you do, Mr. Storm. It was like a dream come true when they assigned me to recruit you back in."

"I feel flattered that you thought that the ways and effectiveness of me killing people are cool."
I say with no emotion in my voice.

The Agent gulped and quickly tried to clear the air by muttering a quiet sorry.

"Shouldn't we exit the car now ,Mr. Richards?"

"That's Agent to you and yes, the headmaster is waiting for us."

"Headmaster? Isn't that a title made for the highest ranking teacher in a school." I questioned.

"Yes it is..now we better get going Mr. Storm. We don't have much time to waste." The Agent said as he quickly gathered all(or tried to) my things.

I swiftly got out the car and gathered my possessions that the agent missed.
I turned toward the agent.
"Well Agent? Where to now."

He instantaneously started walking to entrance of the building.
"Come on slow poke pick up the pace."
He teased me.

Great now that I agreed to come here, That dick( get it? Because his last name is Richard................I find it quite hilarious) gets to be all buddy buddy with me.
He's just lucky that I have a promise holding me back.

I hurriedly walked in order to catch up with the Agent who, felicitous me, was waiting at a front desk talking to a middle age woman who looks screamed  boringly boring.

"Took you long enough dude." Agent Richard exclaimed.

I gritted my teeth at the non-informality of his speech.

God couldn't they have gotten me an older escort.

"The names Benjamin Storm not buddy, dude, bro, or any other way around." I glared at him

The woman at the desk perked up when I mentioned my name.

"You're Benjamin Storm?"
She said in awe

"What's it to you? Or who's asking?"
I replied.

"The H-Headmaster sir."
The woman, visibly shaken by my tone of voice, said.

"What does he want?"
I ask more quietly to not upset the woman.

"He wanted me to say to you that once you arrive that you must go to him in his office."

I hummed softly in response.

I turned to Agent Richard.
"Well my good sir, lead me to the headmaster. Wouldn't want to be rude and keep him waiting."

The Agent who looks like he was betrayed because he can't call me dude or anything else like that, mumbles follow me and starts leading the way.

I wave goodbye to woman and started walking as I was beginning phase one of my plan.
