Agent 1 (Book 3)

20. I didn't realize they were lost

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates lately. Finals absolutely consumed my time, along with my senior trip and graduation. I can officially say I'm done with high school now.

I will be updating as often as possible since it is summer and I will have the time. Unless of course I'm off on vacation or something, in which case I will do my best to inform all of you ahead of time.

Also another thing I'm sure a lot of you will be happy about, the first couple chapters of Password Incorrect will be posted on June 19th. The updating schedule for that will be mentioned in the book itself once it has been officially posted.

Again, I apologize for the extremely late and lack of updates.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,
K

Thirteen's POV

"I thought I told you to stay down." I hiss at Devin as I grab hold of the back of his shirt and pull him back down behind the fallen tree next to me. He loses his balance and lands awkwardly, shooting me a glare.

"I was trying to get a better view."

"You were going to get shot."

"You don't know that for sure."

"Yes. I do."

"Both of you shut up." Chase grumbles. He shoots us a glare before peering over the tree to look out at the base in front of us. He shakes his head. "No way we get in there without catching the attention of every guard on duty."

I look over at the gray building about a hundred feet away from where we're hiding. "Hmm," I mutter thoughtfully.

"What do you have in mind?" Cody whispers, looking over at me as I tap my finger against my knee.

"I'm thinking we should just let Lily handle it."

"Then we're definitely not getting in there without getting shot." Zack mutters.

"I don't think I brought enough of my grenades this time." Lily replies quietly.

"There is no way you didn't bring enough grenades." Devin chimes in. "I watched you grab at least three dozen."

"Yeah, that's not enough."

"I'm honestly terrified to see your definition what you consider enough." Chase interjects.

Lily sticks her tongue out at him before grabbing the duffle bag on the floor next her and sneaking around the fallen tree. "Be back in a little bit."

"You realize she's just going to blow up everyone and everything in that base." Chase deadpans.

I roll my eyes at him. "She's not that bad."

"I beg to differ."

"You decided to just let Lily handle it, which basically means she's going to reduce the building to ashes." Cody adds.

Cody barely finishes his sentence before there's a deafening explosion. Shouts echo out as the guards run towards the sound, abandoning their post at the door.

"Let's move. Now." I say and leap over the fallen tree with ease before sprinting the remainder of the way to the building.

"Back up." Chase orders before pulling his gun and firing at the lock on the door. He swings open the door and holds his gun up in front of him as he enters. Cody, Devin, and Zack pull their guns while I pull my dagger from its sheath.

"Split up. Chase with Zack. Devin with Cody." I order.

"What about you?" Cody asks.

"I've got Lily."
