Agent 454 {Sequel to School Bus Lou}

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

"Now that you have settled in I will be back in a weeks time if you need anything. You can always call me." SSA 233 says.

"Thank you sir." I say as I set the brief case on the hotel room table.

"William will be at university teaching during the weeks so I suggest you enroll into his classes." He says before leaving.

Okay so I guess I'm going back to school..

******

I quickly put on my usual black outfit and put my belt with my knife on.

I don't know if the school will be cool with me bringing a knife but, whatever...

I go to the washroom and plug in my electric shaver. I go over my buzz cut before I leave the hotel and go to a cafe nearby. I use my agent credit card and buy a tea and a muffin before heading to the school.

I get to the class late and take my respective seat in the back.

Around the end of class the lecture finishes and the professor comes to me.

"I'm professor Smith. Are you the new kid.... Henry is it?"

"Yes I'm Henry James, 23 years old and I like adventure books." I say in monotone as I look him in the eyes.

"Well Mr. James, would you like to stay for an extra hour and I will get you caught up with what we have been doing?" He asks.

"Sure." I say and he nods. He gives me a questioning look before shaking it off and walking to his desk.

When he dismisses the class and I walk up to the front.

"Okay Mr. James." He says taking in my looks and looking like he is having an inner battle. I take a seat in front of him and he pulls out a few papers. "These are the notes I had written at the beginning of the year. Everything you missed is in there. If you need help understanding just let me know. I will just be marking a few papers."

"Okay." I say and look through the papers he handed me.

Everything I have already learnt.

I don't know why I insisted on taking a drama course when I was in university. I mean I really don't need it.

Some things I have done confuses me and I wish I could remember but of course the HQ took that away from me.

I see him starring at me and I give him a questioning look. "What?"

"You remind me of someone I use to know sorry." He mutters.

"Well I'm not anybody you know." I say in a stern yet monotonous voice.

"I'm sorry Henry I didn't mean to offend you." He apologizes.

"I think I know what I'm doing." I mutter standing up.

"Okay. Uhmm.. Are you new to London?" He asks packing his stuff up as I pack my stuff.

"Uh yah.." I mumble.

"If you want I could show you around some time." He says.

"Yah maybe." I say.

Actually... That would be easy to keep an eye on him.

New plan befriend this 'William'.

"Would you mind showing me to a grocery store?" I ask.

"Sure thing." He smiles walking me out.

"Did you drive?" He asks.

"No I walked." I say in a monotone voice.

"Okay.. Why don't you hop in my car and I will drive us so I don't have to leave my car in this parking lot." William explains.

"Sounds good."

"So Henry what things are you in to?" William asks as he unlocks the car for both of us.

"I like to read adventure books." I answer like a robot as if it were programmed into me to say this.

"Yah you told me already.. I mean do you like any sports? Or like what's your favorite food?" He asks.

"I like to read adventure books." I say like a broken record.

"Okay.. I get it you are very consealed." He mutters as we get stuck in the midday traffic in London. "I like action movies about spies and stuff, how about you?"

Wait a sec? Am I caught? Seriously?! This is my first day with this mission. Fuck me.

"I like adventure b-"

"I got that already." He sighs in frustration, cutting me off.

SSA 233 he is asking me what I like to eat and what my favorite movies are what do I say???

I text my leader for the mission in hopes he has some answers.

"Okay if you don't want to talk about yourself why don't we talk about what you will be taking this year." Louis asks.

"I'm taking drama."

"Yah I know that much. You look a little old to be taking a beginners drama course. I usually get 17-19 year olds taking that course." He says.

"I wanted to take it for various reasons." I mutter as my phone vibrates.

Just make up stuff but try to make things the opposite of what you would like. Also, match it to the whole thing that you like adventure books. Example, don't say I like chick flicks and you like adventure stuff it doesn't work that well. 

I put my phone away after recieving a reply from my leader and look back at William.

"What is it that you need from the grocery store?" William asks.

"I just need to know where it is." I mutter.

"Oh okay..." He gives me an odd look before we slowly make our way through the London traffic.
