Who are you?

Me

Jack's POV.:

I woke up and when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in a dark big room, sitting on a chair and tied to it. Where am I? I looked around more and I saw machines, boxes and big piles of leaves everywhere. It looked like a factory with big doors and windows, but there were small ones too. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I was fully conscious I recognized my surroundings. I was at the Executioners' hideout. I wondered why though. If I could get out of this chair...
Suddenly, the door on my right opened and a shadowy figure entered in.

"Jack." said the stranger who was not a stranger after he said my name, because I recognized his voice. It was X.

"X? Why am I here? Is this a test or something?" I asked confused.

"Don't act like an idiot, you know exactly why you are here," he said but he didn't know that I was legitimately confused.

"I really don't know what are you talking about," I answered.

"Jack," he said and started walking around me. "Jack, Jack, Jack... Or should I call you... Seán?"

"Who is Seán? I..." I asked because once I heard my real name I knew what kind of game he was playing... either he found out that I'm an agent or he was bluffing.

"Stop lying, you bitch. We know exactly who you are. We know that you are a secret agent." he said, leaning close to my face and looking into my eyes. "What is your mission? Why did they send you here?"

"Even if you do know that I'm an agent, I won't tell you my mission," I said back to him, leaning even closer. "You better kill me, because I won't say a word."

His face turned into anger and he straightened up, then slapped me hard on my face. I looked back at him, but he hit me again, punching me straight at my nose, that it started bleeding. He turned my head back to him, but I didn't show him any emotions just to make him more pissed off.

"You'll be tortured by us first. If you will be still alive after that, I'll kill you with my own hands." he hissed through gritted teeth.

"Try me." I smiled at him bravely, but it just made him angrier, and he punched me in the stomach.

He turned around and left the room, leaving me in the dark, alone again and in pain. I showed him that I'm brave, but in reality, I'm scared. How will I get out of here? I'm only a 15-year-old child, a loser, the one who was always being made fun out of by everybody. How was I even thinking that I could be an agent and save the world? I should've said no back when I had the opportunity to turn back and forget everything about the agency. But no, I said yes instead, because I thought I could show the world that I'm someone. I'm so selfish. And now I'm gonna die and broke my parents' heart. They probably won't handle it well, and not just them, but my whole family. My siblings, my cousins who I love so much. I will break their heart because they will find out that I'm dead and that I lied to them the whole time.

I started crying as I was thinking about this more and more. I'm so scared and afraid of death. I've just started my life and it's almost over. I didn't even tell my friends everything. Mark! He'd just became my friend and he doesn't know me at all, who really I am. I didn't tell him everything that I wanted to tell. I really like him as the others too. Wade... Felix... Bob. I'm never gonna see them again. And poor little Sam. I accidentally dropped him. He's probably so worried about me. I want to talk with them. With everybody. I want to tell them how much I love all of them and how thankful I am because I have them around me.

I felt the tears, running down on my cheeks as I cried more from the pain in my stomach, but mostly from the pain in my heart. I looked up at the ceiling and saw the beautiful bright blue sky, through a big hole, with the fluffy clouds, floating above me.

"S. I'm so sorry. I failed. I thought I could be just as good as you, but I can't. I'm not the right person for this job. You taught me so much, but I'm too useless to do anything right. You probably could've escaped by now, but I can't. Please... forgive me."

I hung my head down, closing my eyes and whispering these three words again, please forgive me. Then I heard someone, calling my name, but as I looked up I couldn't see anybody.

'Jack. Don't worry. Remember what I said.'

Flashback:

"Jack, this job is dangerous, you know that right?" said S to Jack as they were sitting on the shore of the beach, watching the sunset, after that Jack successfully passed the test.

"Yeah, I think," answered Jack, hugging his knees closer to his chest.

"Don't feel bad, because you have to lie to your friends. It's for their safety, but I think it's obvious, isn't it?"

"I know, but it hurts."

"You'll get used to it soon," he said, but then he turned to Jack fully to look him in the eye. "The most important thing though is to not lose your faith. Whatever situation you are in, you need to be strong. Never show your enemies your fear, because then it means that they won."

He turned back and watched the sun again as he continued.

"I was in a situation once where somebody died, because of my stupidity and because I was weak. From that day, I learned that no matter what will happen with me, I need to focus and still think clear to save people from trouble."

Then it was Jack who turned to S with sadness in his eyes, but S just smiled and then looked at him.

"This is my last lesson for you. Never give up, and always believe that you can do it because that's what will save you. You don't have to think as a badass guy like in the movies, just believe."

I opened my eyes and I was in the factory again. He was right, I need to be strong. This is not the day when I'll die. Then I heard the door open and the twins entered, but I wasn't afraid anymore. No, I'll survive, and I'll show them that I'm strong, so I straightened and just widely smiled at them to show them that they haven't won yet.
