Teenage Agent

I swerved through the traffic in panic as her skin turned a deathly pale and as her lips turn blue. I sped up even though I did not officially have my license in state law but I can’t just let her bleed out. I propelled the car side ways as a shot went through the windshield.

I looked in the review mirror to see the goons following us I swore under my breath and stepped on the gas. I weaved in and out of the traffic as beeping and angry glares followed me.

Another shot appeared through the back window shattering it. I made a sharp left and could see that Brianna was thrown like a doll into the door. I frowned and took one of my hands off the wheel and pulled her back to the middle. Her skin was like ice and she didn’t seem to be breathing, but I can luckily still see the slight rising of her chest.

I looked behind to see the goon’s gaining. The fuel is quickly being used up. I slammed on the brakes and the goon’s cars passed me in confusion. I smirked and changed the gear and looked over my shoulder as I worked my way backwards through the traffic.

I think did a screeching circle and put it back on the gear it was originally on and zoomed away. I heard a small whimpered and looked next to me to see Brianna holding to dear life. I slammed the gas once more and knowing that I lost the idiots I went to the safe house. I ditched the car, still running and scooped the frail girl in my arms running into the empty house.

I placed her on a table and ripped her pants of and immediately started on getting the bullet out. I found it and through it over my shoulder as I closed her wound up. Blood covered me as I finished and cleansed her wound.

I applied a cream that made her whimper but I knew it was helping cleanse it from germs. I put her on a bed in a spare room and I walked around the house checking for bugs or any other goon’s that found this spot. I sighed in relief and made my way back to Brianna.

He ragged breath greeted me as I ran to her. I put my ear on her chest as I heard her heart pitifully beating slowly. Her heart stopped and so did her breathing. I immediately went into action. Pumping her chest and forcing breath into her hoping she will pull through.

I repeatedly did this for twenty minutes until a sharp intake of breath. I collapsed down beside her wiping the sweat that formed on my brow. This girl needs protecting. More than anyone else, I have to get her to Shark Tooth before they find her.

The most trusted agent in my eyes, my teacher. I sighed and looked at my bloody clothes. I looked at her perfect face as she sleeps and takes in her rattled breaths. I went to the bathroom and showered, washing her blood while thinking.

What happens after I complete the mission? Will she still be in danger? Most likely yes, she will be seen as a weak opponent to help take me down. I wish I was normal. I wish I didn’t be so naive when I was younger, I wish I was a normal teenage boy who had crush’s, listened to music and lived a carefree life. But choices were made and I made my own path and I cannot drag her into this.

I turned of the water and changed into my cameo pants and a black shirt and converse as I walked into the room where she slept. I lay down silently next to her and closed my eyes. I cannot fully sleep, I haven’t since I was eight.

But I seemed to have drifted off when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. My eyes snapped open to see Brianna wrapped protectively in my arms. Her brilliant eyes staring at me in confusion. I coughed awkwardly and let go and put her down gently.

“Cody?” she croaked “Y-yeah?” what was this girl doing to me? She looked at me oddly “Where are my pants?” I froze and looked at her in shock, wouldn’t she want to know where she was? Or even why I was holding her when she woke?
