Non-Stop

They had introduced me to an office, it was about 5:00 AM when I was awoken by and alarm and dressed in my black leather body suit. I overlapped it with my jacket and lean dark boots. I brushed my teeth, and my hair and headed out and down the hall.

Once inside my large dark office I turned on the monitor and began to observe the security cameras as I less previously instructed. The ground simulators were being used by training soldiers, the rooms dark and quiet from what I could see.

I began sketching on a tablet, smiling at a small picture of a ship.
Today was the day they would present me with the task of selecting people based on their recent scores and assigning them to a task on my team. Braxton was very disgruntled at this but I had no true feelings on it what so ever.

It had only been a day since I had been fixed, Vale and Zax had become silent to me. Insulted by the agreement with the government.

I began looking over scores and by 7 I had chosen my candidates for second investor. I was to be the lead investigator and I was to have a partner to assist me in case of danger.
I had wrote the name Vale automatically, moving down to Mic Communicator, the one who would use planted cameras and talk to us from the inside of the ATPA building, I placed Hails name without a second thought.

There were more positions, Script Manager, Camera engineer. I placed other names and then dropped the papers aside and paged Mrs.Jackson to come collect them as soon ad possible.

And then a long bing rang, and with that I headed out for training.

I met Jack at Drama, we sat staring at the stage together. "You realize you should have listed me as your partner "Jack said her eyes narrowed.

"You busy with government stuff, and your a dog Jack " I said my eyes amused fakely. Jack licked my hand and then realized he had just furthered my pointed and shrugged. "Point made".

At Weight I lifted heavily, ignoring the chatter of others around me. The day flew by and yet by the time I reached dinner I still felt exhilaration running through my veins.

"Divisions have been set " Voiced the mic in the corner of the lunch room. "Asyri as Lead investor".
"Vale as Second investor ".
Vale gave me a glance that was blank.
"Hail -" I blocked it out, eating my food absent mindedly. Time passed and then an alarm interrupted Mrs.Jackson, it was loud and made the guards raced to exits and run out.
"What is it ?" Blue hissed. "Im scared "Leesie whimpered. Zax held Leesie as the rest of us stood peering around the sound hurting my ears.

And then a large lion leaped through the door, snarling, one eye mission. Jack lunged, he landed infront of the lion and began stalking around the over grown cat.
"Something's wrong with it !" Jack said. The lion looked to strange, and then I noticed its metallic collar.
"It speaks " I breathed. Jacks ear twitched. The lion lunged just as a guard barreled in and kicked the animal in the gut.

On instinct I raced forward, sliding up to the guards side and taking his gun. Turning to the lion I shot it in the skull.

The animal wobbled and hissed and then slammed to the floor. I breathed heavily, Jack was growling his pelt spiked with tension.
I headed the gun back to the guard who looked warily at me. "You just killed our most prized asset !" Said a irritated voice.

I glanced up to see Mrs.Jackson and Mrs.Leonard walking in looking flustered. "Who did this ?" Mrs.Jackson hissed.
"Me "I said firmly. She turned her icy gaze to me and gritted her teeth.

"You have killed our second Enhanced Intelligence Subject ! What do you have to say for yourself ?" Snapped Mrs.Jackson her almond eyes like snake orbs.
