Spy Mixup-Paused

Chapter 2

Today was my first day of school at Penn-Dragon. I wore light blue jeans, with a cute blue cami, and a white cardigan, to go with my black ballet flats. Taking a deep breath, I set foot inside my new school.

I walked towards the office to pick up my schedule. Nothing interesting, just basic stuff, I started out the day with English, followed by pre-calculus, then biology before lunch. After, was History of Britain followed by gym. On Tuesday through Thursday, I had drama as my 6th class but on Mondays, and Fridays, I got to go home early.

I slowly made my way to my first class, and got there right when the bell rang. I walked in to find all the desks lined up in a grid, each was separate. That was odd, at my old school our desks were lumped together in groups, but separate was unheard of. I sat down in the only available seat, which happened to be in the back.

“Welcome class, my name is Mr. Renolds. This is my first year teaching at Penn-Dragon, so some things that we do may not be what you’re used to. Please bear with me, and we'll get along just fine. Before we dive in to the world of English, I would like to get to know you first.”

“Ok class, first I want you to tell me your name, and your favorite quote from a book that you've read.” These kids were driving me insane, they all said the same stupid quotes, trying to impress me with knowing Shakespeare. I just wanted to figure out who was Agent Mason, but so far no one gave me the password. I was running out of people, and I was beginning to worry that maybe she didn’t make it here. I was at my last student by this point. “Name” I said hoping to here Kari Mason. Instead I didn’t get a reply. “Name please” I said again, but still no response. “Ahem, lady with the coppery auburn hair, I’m talking to you.” With that she responded.

“Oh, it’s Lita Cane.” My fears suddenly surfaced when I realized that Agent Mason had been detained at her last mission, I had to contact my Superior at my first opportunity. “Can I have your favorite quote please?”

“Quote? What quote? I’m supposed to have a favorite quote. Ugh, I hate English!” There it was, the password, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god she was just using a cover name, I should have known better. With that, the bell rang. I tried to grab Miss Cane’s or should I say Mason’s attention, but I was ignored, as she rushed out of my room.

“Agent Mason! AGENT MASON! AGENT MASON!”

I slowly awoke to the sound of my name being yelled. My head was pounding, and the bright lights in the room made my eyes water. Looking around, I finally locked eyes with my captor. “Where am I?” I asked, but all I got as a reply was laughter.

“Why isn’t it the infamous Kari Mason. Sent to kill me, and destroy my project. Well it looks like the tables have turned, because I’m out to kill you!”

“I highly doubt that.”

“What makes you so sure of that?”

“Well” I said, while looking around at my position. My hands were tied together, and I was dangling from the ceiling, but my feet were free a mistake most people made.

“Well, what?”

“Considering the way you're keeping me locked up, I’m still able to harm you.” With that, I started to swing my body back and forth, until I was able to bring my legs forward far enough to kick my captor in the chest, knocking him back with a look of shock on his face.

“Well” he said, once he finally caught his breath “Guess I’ll just have to do a better job of locking you up, but I can deal with that later, your talking is giving me a headache.” With that, he took a crowbar, and wacked me upside my head with it, causing the world to go black.

Gym, finally I was at the last period of the day. It was good thing it was Monday, or I would have been stuck here in this god forsaken place for another hour. We were playing volleyball in gym, which I guess wasn’t that bad, I mean I have no sense of direction, or aim, but I enjoyed the game none the less.

The game was going pretty well for the past 20 minutes, until someone from the other team spiked the ball, and it ended up hitting my face full on. It was at that point when I got called over by my gym teacher. I headed over, and noticed a man standing next to him, he looked kind of familiar, was he one of my teachers?

As I continued walking over, my gym teacher spoke to me. “Mr. Renolds has asked if he could borrow you for the rest of the period, to talk about some English test that you took this morning. So I’ll see you tomorrow then.” Mr. Renolds turned towards the door, and we headed out into the hallway. “What did you want sir?” I asked trying to hide my curiosity.

“Shh not in the hallway, wait until we get to my classroom.” We continued to walk to the opposite side of the school, were his classroom was located. When we walked into his classroom, he locked his door, and turned on me, with an angry expression across his face. “Kari Mason how dare you not pick up your assignment, and avoid me, we’re both working together on this case, and I’d appreciate it if you would cooperate with me!”

What on earth was he talking about? My teacher ended up rambling on, and on, for about five minutes, about how I was some sort of ignorant person for ignoring direct orders from our Superior. Superior? I was really confused at this point, but he kept rambling on. “Hey” I yelled cutting him off. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“Don’t lie to me Agent Mason.”

 “I’m not this so called person named Mason, my name is Lita Cane, got that?” With that, I unlocked his door, and stormed out of the room. I started my long walk home fuming in anger. I thought I was safe at home but I was wrong. Shortly after 6 in the evening our doorbell rang, and a few minutes later my dad came up, and dropped a manila envelope on my desk, saying that I had left it at school, and my teacher had been kind enough to drop it off on his way home.

Opening it up, I spilled the contents on my desk. On the first paper it said Covert Intelligence Agency. That’s weird, I always thought it was Central Intelligence Agency. The next paper said:

Agent Kari Mason, now that you're reading this you have successfully completed your last mission, and eliminated Tom Hendricks. This new mission for you is an easy one. All you have to do is figure out which teacher at the Penn-Dragon school is kidnapping students, and find out what he/she is doing to them. You will be working with Agent Ezra Renolds on this case as he trying to redeem himself after failing his last mission. Agent Renolds will be posing as your English teacher. Below you will find a list of the missing kids, and all the records that we have with them. Maybe you will be able to find a pattern, and predict the next kidnapping before it happens. Remember no one must know who you are.

Well know I knew why my teacher thought I was this secret agent, but how was I supposed to convince him that he had the wrong person?
