Prodigy Agent 09

Chapter 5: The Meeting

          "The test is simple. You'll just have to do the combo and finish it before 30 minutes, you are our top agent." Arthur explained and I stretched my body, waiting for the cue.

          First was weaponry, I had to pick five weapons and I picked the bow and arrows, the daggers, the swords, the gun and one grenade. I was placed in a stimulated war zone and as I fought, when all my weapons were gone, a dummy walked forward. I was ordered to fight it. It was a tough fight. The dummy was very smart. It punched me bad a couple of times but I managed to dismantle it. Then I had to run to a room filled with obstacles. It was like a maze filled with water, rocks, heights and fire. Nothing new. After which, when I emerged from the door. Arthur stood there with a smile and a stopwatch in hand.

          "15 minutes and 38 seconds. Our newest record." Arthur hugged me and I allowed him to.

          "You made it into 'Protection's best program. It is only for the top 10 agents who will be in-charge of high ranks on field. What number do you prefer?" Arthur's grin was so wide...

          "09." I replied and he froze.

          "09 is already taken... If you want the spot, you have to fight that person for it..." Arthur furrowed his eyebrows in concern.

          "No worries, I will do it." I jammed my hands into my pockets and he agreed unwillingly, exiting the room to find that person perhaps.

          "09 is Cain, he is 25 and is really skilled. He's record for the test was 20 minutes. He accepted your request to fight tonight." Arthur gave me a file and I nodded. It was time for a real fight...

           "So... It's been a week, any progress?" I asked as I popped a grape into my mouth and sat down on the couch. We were all home at the basement where I locked up everything and checked the entire floor for bugs.

          "Well, I still believe that Adrian could be one of the main threat. He is so unwelcoming and sometimes disregard Edward." Will took a chip and stuffed it in his mouth.

          "No, Adrian has been Edward's friend since young... He probably is afraid that we'll take his friend away from him and friends have fun with each other all the time. You fool around with us too." Grace frowned and took a glass of water.

          "Do you have a crush or Adrian or Edward? You seem to be defending them more than you have defended anyone and I am your brother, you should take my decision into consideration and not headbutt it..." Will contorted in anger.

          Grace glared at him, "I know how to separate work and life, unlike you."

          Before a fight breaks out, I cut in, "Back to topic please."

          "Like I said it could be personality. We have to observe further. But I don't believe Adrian is one of the threat." Grace finished her water.

          "Well, I believe that he is the threat but we will observe him further. What about you, Olivia. How's your progress?" Will stuffed a handful of chips in to his mouth.

           I cleared my throat, "It's been the same, I've took out about 20 of his minor minions. Everyone gave me the same stupid answer O.T., well except for one."

          They raised their eyebrows. I shrugged and continued, "The one said that neither the King of Aslade not the Prince of Aslade is not the main target. Then he stopped answering and I killed it." Their eyes widened.

          "Wait, is that guy implying that we have the wrong target?" Will questioned and stopped stuffing anymore chips into his mouth.

          "We have to observe both guys from now on." Grace grimaced and sighed.

          I nodded my head, "Meeting dismissed."

          A knock sounded at the front door and Grace went to open it, it was the two guys. Both with smiles, unexpected indeed.

          "I know it's unexpected but we brought a Wii?" Edward smiled as Adrian held up the box. Grace let them come in and I turned the television off. Will tilted his head to the side.

          "What are you guys doing here?" I asked in annoyance as I popped another grape into my mouth.

          "We were bored and decided to come and have a virtual video-game battle with all of you." Adrian answered as I was packing up the papers and files. Will helped me pick up the papers that fell on the ground.

          "Well, I'm not interested and I have homework that are due tomorrow. 10-foot-long essays so, I cannot play... Will and Grace can play with you." I shrugged my shoulders and collected my stuff before going up the stairs.

          "Come on, we wanted to play with you... and it's a pile of homework, I can excuse you for it, you know... You were watching television just now too." Edward tried to convince me to stay.

          I turned around and faked a smile, "I'm not going to play a card called 'I'm the Prince's friend'. I have dignity and I was watching the news..." Back to the stairs, I went into my room and closed the door softly, locking it for safety measures. Time for work...
