Undercover // Billy Tepper (Toy Soldiers)

Prologue

"How could you not have known this is an all boys school? Don't you pay for this kind of information?" I asked him through the phone.

Luis Cali was my oldest brother. We had different mothers, but we both loved our dad. So that's the reason why we came to America. I was sent by him to come to this school to keep an eye on a boy name Phil Donoghue. Phil's father is the Federal Judge presiding over my fathers trial..

"It doesn't matter anymore. I'm close now, you just stay there and wait. I'll be there in 10 minutes or so." He said over the phone.

After that I went to the headmasters office.

"Have you gotten a hold of your parents?" He asked politely.

"Yes, they said they aren't sure when they will be able to come pick me. I am so sorry for their mistake. We had just moved here from Columbia and they wanted to send me to this school. My parents are kind of rusty with their English so I don't think they could have read that it was for boys only.." I faked a smile at him.

"Its fine, I'll have one of my boys walk you around till your parents get here." the headmaster said. I took this as a chance to lie my way to get to the young boy, Phil.

"My cousin comes to this school, which is why my parents had tried and sent me here.. do you think you can get him?" I asked him.

"I don't see why not, what is his name?"

"Phil Donoghue.." He had a look of confusion on his face.

"I'm sorry, but a couple of men came to get young Donoghue yesterday... I can get you his room mates if you'd like?" Oh shit... What am I gonna tell Luis? This boy is the reason we came here! He is going to be so mad.

I hadn't said anything out of frustration so the headmaster just looked at me. "Just while you wait.."

"Yea sure.. just let me call my parents to make sure I know what time their coming.." I faked a smile and rushed myself to the telephones and called Luis.

"C'mon pick up..." I muttered to myself.  It was no use, he wasn't picking up.

I went back to the headmasters office and saw two boys, most likely my age.

"These boys will show you around while you wait.. They are friends and room mates of Phil, so I'm sure you'll get along.." He just pushed us out together in quite a rush. The boy on my left had dirty blonde hair and was kind of curly, he was shorter than the other boy, who had darker hair that was just straight.

"Your parents are idiots for mistaking this as an all gender school." the boy with blonde hair said.

"Don't bring my parents up, yours can be dipshits as well for all I know." I snapped at the boy.

"This is a girl, Billy, be nice." He nudged the other boy then sent a smile.

"Something seems kinda off about her.." Billy said in a failed attempt to whispering.

"This is a girl in our school, of course it's gonna feel kinda off." The skinnier one said.

"What's your names?" I cut them off, just to waste some time till Luis gets here.

"I'm Joey Trotta, he's Billy Tepper." the Skinny boy introduce himself, even Billy.

"I'm Della Cali.." I introduced myself. Billy looked as if he had solved something.

We were in the cafeteria now. There were boys everywhere.

I ignored everyone and just waited for Luis to show up. I still don't know how he's gonna react to Donoghue being taken away.

I was cut out of my thoughts by a gun going off out the cafeteria. Everyone looked confuse, but I knew Luis was here already so I just ran out. I ran past Jack as he was walking into the cafeteria. He didn't do anything so I assumed he recognized me. As soon as I ran out, the men Luis had were pointing their guns at me.

"Where's Luis?" I asked them. Soon they recognized me and pointed out where he was.

I ran to where he was and found him talking to one of the guys. He pulled me into a hug.

"I have bad news.." I said and let go of him, he still had his arm around my shoulder.

"What is it now?" There had been so much failure while trying to find our dad and bring him back to Columbia.

"The headmaster says men came and took Phil yesterday.. He didn't say where.."

"Are you kidding?" He raised his voice and shot into the ceiling. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He slapped me. I've been trained for this kind of stuff, I didn't find abusive at all. I could have beated him as well if I had wanted to. I was tougher than most girls my age.

"It's not my fault! I tried to call and tell you but you didn't pick up!" I pushed him away from me.

"I have a plan." he pulled me and wrapped his arm around my neck and pointed the gun at my head.

"Your going to shoot me?!" I started squirming in his arms frantically.

"No, you idiot, just act as if you ain't apart of us, like we were supposed to do earlier." He said and dragged me into the cafeteria.
