Prodigy Agent 09

Chapter 11: Test

          "Agent 09, lock the palace down. Stay with the Prince. Castle is in danger." Agent 01 ordered through the phone. I looked over at the nervous Prince who was awaiting my orders.

          I gave him a nod, "Are you ready? We have to go to the safe house." He nodded as he took a deep breath.

         "Are... Are my parents fine?" He asked hesitantly.

          I repeated his question into the phone. Agent 01's reply was that they were in the West house that was attacked so unless the bunk was open, they would be safe.

          "Yes, now we have to go. Your wife is with my agent too and she is on her way there." Agent 08 and 10 had texted me and we were off.

          He breathed harshly as we safety moved across the empty halls. Looking at the book shelf near the dining hall, I took the fifth book from the right of the second row from the top, a door appeared.

          "How?" He asked softly, looking stunned.

          I beckoned him in, "Later."

          He blinked a few times before entering the tunnel. As we went deeper, we heard the gun shots and explosion getting louder but I did not stop. Instead I dragged him faster and when we reached the door, I entered the password and shoved him in as soon as I heard footsteps nearing. He fell inside and I slammed the door before they had a chance to enter.

          "Prince, the button! There! Slam it!" I ordered and he scrambled up and slammed the button just as my arms were about to give up. I opened the door on the ground and he looked at me.

          "Darling? Darling?" I heard the Princess's voice but I pushed the Prince back and shook my head at him. His eyes were filled with anger directed at me.

          "Agent 01. Agent 01." I called out.

          It was silent and I shut the door shut before moving to the one of the right of the wall.

          Then there was intense knocking on the door of the floor. Prince looked at me and I typed through my phone. Clank. Clank. The door on the right which we came from was being slowly opened.

          "Positive." Was the text I received and I opened the door of the floor again before pushing the Prince down in. He was stunned but followed and I followed suit not long after before we all settled into a submarine and sped off.

          "We could've been faster..." I crossed my arms.

          Agent 01 gave me a grin, "It was unexpected but it was part of your test."

          I rolled my eyes and punched him hard in the arm.

          "Morning!" I was greeted by two people as I entered the dining hall for breakfast.

          "Morning, what's going on?" I asked.

          Grace just shrugged her shoulders, "Oh nothing, just that we had slept over and now we're having breakfast..." I gave her a questioning look which she shrugged it off again. I looked at Will.

          "Uh-" Will was interrupted by the Prince who entered with his knight attached to him.

          "Good morning! I know it's early but Christmas is around the corner. So, I will be throwing a ball for all to attend soon, perhaps next week." Edward announced and rubbed his hands together. I raised an eyebrow and gave Will and Grace a look. They nodded their heads. We had to be alert.

          "So, I am here to ask you, Grace Stone. Will you accompany me to the ball?" He outstretched his hand and gave her a blinding smile. Too bright for my liking.

          Maybe Grace liked him, maybe she understood how it benefit all of us if she was near him, she smiled back, "Yes."

          If it was even possible, Edward's grin widened more. 

          "Would you mind going to the ball with me, Olivia?" Adrian asked politely. The room was silent and the tension grew.

          Hesitantly, I shook my head, "I don't think it's best if you present me with you once again." He gave me a questioning glance which I blandly ignored.

          "Will you go with me then?" Will asked coolly and ran his hand through his hair.

          Without missing a beat, I answered bluntly, "No."

          Grace and Edward were laughing; Will was pouting and Adrian was still staring at me with a questioning glance. I shrugged it off, "I have to make a move. Catch you guys later."
