Agent 008 (UN-EDITED)

Chapter 40 - Evangeline

I wake up in my room at the hotel. The pills had finally wore off. It turns out I am awesome at doing fake bruises and cuts, and taking sleeping pills can really make it seem like your almost dead too.

All I have to do now is convince them I am too weak to continue with the mission. They will both be happy about that though, since I'm dirt to them now.

Pain flows through my body signaling that Lucas is trying to contact me. I press the tracker on my arm and a hologram of him pops up.

"When can you meet me here?"

"By tomorrow morning." I say.

"Hurry please."

"Luke?" I hear a faint voice call, it sounded familiar...Kayla!

He disconnects the hologram and I'm left staring into space.

So Kayla is on his side now too?! That could be a problem.

I finger my multipurpose tracker in thought. I liked to move the lump of metal in my skin, it was soothing in ways. 

I want to change from my grubby clothing, but then I would be able enough to go on the mission. I have to think of a clever way to get downstairs without seeming to healthy...

I'll roll!! I get down on my stomach and army crawl to the hallway, then I roll down it to the stairs. 

Unfortunately I forgot about the stairs, so I rolled right down them. Well, now I am actually unable to go on the mission. I groan as I bounce off the last step.

Just so you know, having a tracker implanted in your arm while falling down the stairs is not a good combo. 

"Were you that desperate to come downstairs?" Toby says with a chuckle, he must be on better terms with me.

I lift me hand up in a so-so gesture. He laughs and picks me up. He sets me on the couch and skids a remote over.

"Why did you want to come down?" He asks, it was in his serious voice now.

"Food.." I say with my voice in a scratchy whisper. He nods and sets a bowl of fruit in front of me. I reach for one of the pieces and slid it in my mouth. 

It has been a while since I've eaten food this juicy.

"Nathan has told me to check and see if you have any injuries.." He says awkwardly and I nod.

He walks over to me and turns me on my back. Unable to do anything else I fall asleep. Darn...those pills haven't worn off yet I suppose.
