Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Chapter 21

Surprise!

Cody's POV

"The plan didn't go well as we thought it would." My dad sighs.

We are in a big room with a big round table at the center. There's only a few of us compared to before, usually during meetings a lot of people will come but there are only 14 of us.

"Why didn't we just go there brute force?" A CIA agent says. I don't exactly know his name but I think it was Brent? I don't know. "If we solved this problem ourselves, this wouldn't have gone out of hand."

"The CIA has no permission to attack an enemy without the government knowing. But after we told the government, they told us that the police will handle it whether we like it or not."

"The operation isn't anymore undercover because of Lars. We thought the project he was working on will take a long time but he finished it way earlier than we thought." My mom says.

Both of my parents are CIA agents with high ranking. They basically are the people assigning the agents on what tasks they need to do.

"What's our next plan of action?" Another CIA agent asks.

"Well, the director has not yet planned something so we better check on Lars every now and then. We will wait until the director has ordered us something to do with Lars. Meeting is done."

Everyone leaves the room except me, Javièr, Kyle, mom, and dad.

"Good job boys." My dad ruins my hair.

"What do you mean good job?" I ask furiously. "We just put the lives of men at stake! Most of them are already dead."

"Cody." My mom warns me. "That's not how you should talk."

"No I understand." My dad puts his hand on my shoulder. "I'll talk to him."

We go outside of the room and we find a place where we could 'talk'.

"What I mean by good job is you did your part as an agent."

"Well yeah, but we still have a big problem."

"You should not think like that. What you should think is that you did your part. The problem in the future is going to be solved in the future. Do not think too much about, we can solve this thing."

We go back inside and we see the director of the CIA talking with my mom.

"Sir Timothy." My dad shakes hands with him.

"Ahh, my friend." He shakes my dad's hand. "You don't need to call me Sir. After all, we were friends before for a long time now."

"Cody how about you go with your friends? We need to talk with Director Timothy."

I go outside and I meet with Kyle and Javièr who are arguing about something. I go closer and I hear a bit of their conversation.

"Tomato is a vegetable" Kyle eyes Javièr.

"Tomato is a fruit." Javièr says.

"Guys what's happening?" I ask as I see them eyeing each other seriously. They usually fight simple things like this. "Calm down."

"Hell no."

"We have to decide on what the winner should win or what the loser will receive."

"The winner gets to drive my Deus Grievous Angel." Javièr smiles. I think he's too cocky that he's gonna win because tomato is a vegetable. By the way the Deus Grievous Angel costs $24,000 dollars, it would be an honor to ride that motorcycle.

"The loser has to wear a skirt and dance like a girl in the hallway here at HQ."

"Deal?"

"Deal." Kyle shakes hands with Javièr.

"Cody." Javièr turns to look at me. "Is tomato a fruit? Or vegetable?"

"Sorry Javièr but tomato is a vegetable." I smile at Javièr.

"WHAT!"

"Yeah boy, get to ride a cool motorcycle while Javièr acts like a girl."

"No way, that's bullshit. We gotta ask Google for real evidence."

"Well bring your tablet we're going to the room where Ray is."

"By the way why do you keep on talking about Ray?" Javièr smirks. I roll my eyes and try to avoid his question.

"Yeah why do you keep on talking about Ray?" Kyle's face smiles. "You got a thing for her?"

"Well we're here." I ignore the question.

"Hey whoa whoa!" Javièr stops me from opening the door. "You haven't answered our question yet."

"I do have a thing for her." I didn't tell them that I kissed Ray because, my friends are assholes.

"I knew it."

"Hey guys." I open the door and see Tyler watching something, it looks like a cartoon. Vanessa combing her hair, and Ray lying down on the couch.

"What's up?" Tyler turns off the TV and sits on a chair.

"Well CIA stuff."

"Find anything unusual about Lars?"

"Yeah. He's adopted." Javièr laughs hard.

Kyle smiles and laughs a little bit.

"What else?" This time Ray asks.

"Nothing so far, the police has it 'under control'. I still wish we could have done something."

"There's something holding you back?" Tyler smiles. "You know we can help right?"

I think about it for a second and I realize that I can help them. But I just can't bring myself to do it. There are a lot of reasons why, but half of my body says we can help them.

"I know that, but we're just kids."

"Badass kids." Javièr corrects me.

"That survived torture." Ray says.

"Also survived gunshots."

"And survived from a killer family."

Well, we haven't survived. Yet.
