"Like my outfit!" Aunt Rose calls giving a three-sixty. She's dress from head to toe in black leather, her burgundy hair done up in a tight ponytail.
"Rose, no need to slow your role but you need to be serious about this." Mitch says giving her a look.
"Well I'm sorry!" She says whipping her ponytail. "I was just trying to have a little fun and be a proper spy!"
"No one does that and take it from me I am the proper spy."
"Fun sucker." She says under her breath.
"Are you sure this lady isn't a 5 year old?" Mitch says smirking.
"I've seen more mature five year olds." I say with a giggle.
"Are you love birds talking about me?" She says hands on her hips.
"For the one thousandth time we're not dating!"
"What ever you say Jem."
The next hours where spent getting supplies for tonight's mission and Aunt Rose telling us we had to bring snacks. We got on the road in Aunt Rose's Jeep and headed to H.Q.
"We'll have to climb," Mitch sighed, "The doors are locked."
"Or we could just pick the lock," I said satisfactory.
"Yeah, but that wouldn't be fun." He said pouting like a little kid.
We make our way to the door and I crouch low getting a bobby pin out of my hair. "That's not going to work!" He says sarcastically and right at that moment it clicks. "Okay maybe it can."
"Now we got to be quiet in here, Aunt Rose you follow?"
"Ah-huh."
We creep in on tiptoes trying not to make any noice.
"Watch out. I'm gonna zap the cameras so no one can see us. Put these gloves on. Go down the hall."
We all put on our gloves as Mitch zaps the cameras, "Stay here." He whispers.
"What do you mean? My aunts up there!"
"Shhh, we don't know who may be looking." He takes a pause. "Amethyst do you really think it's crazy that people think we'd be a cute couple? Come on your a beautiful girl and I'm a handsome guy." He says placing a hand on my cheek.
I take a breath, no ones ever thought of me like that. My stomach tightens.
"I like you too." I finally say finally.
He leans in about to kiss me when Aunt Rose calls from in front of us. "Guys I think I found something." We look up, astonished to see her with Mrs. Birds door ajar holding a piece of bubble gum, a taser, and a gun.
"The evidence!" Mitch and I say at the same time.
"Yeah, our evidence." Comes a voice from behind.
I spin on my heel and see both Mrs. Bird and a bald headed man stepping into the scene.
"Run!" I holler.
"No don't run we don't mean no harm, we just want our evidence back. No trouble." Says the bald headed man, "Oh sorry I didn't introduced myself I'm Mr. Greg Bird, Helen Bird's husband."
"Snitches," my Aunt says.
"What did you say?!"
"I said snitches, you should be ashamed of yourselves! The C.I.A trusted you!"
Their stride picks up pace, Mitch and I walk backwards petrified.
Rose walks into Helens office and we all follow unsure of what's to come.
"Can't hide from us forever Amethyst." Mrs. Bird calls.
My hand draws to my back pocket where Mitch hid the gun in case of emergency. My hand reaches the lever and I pull back ready to fire if anything unexpected happens.
"Give us the evidence and no one will get hurt."
"Never!" I say.
"Then it's settled I kill your aunt." she says grabbing my Aunt by the ponytail.
"Noooo!" I scream, without even thinking I pull the trigger. My heart stops as I watch the built skid through the air. Mrs. Bird pushes my Aunt in front of it and I watch my Aunt fall down dead.
"Stupid girl!" She says taking the evidence from the floor.
The rest was just a blur, I watch the mother figure of my life become a memory. Tears stream out of my eyes, "I'll never do anything out of anger again!" I wail. "I promise." Mitch picks me up and holds me close, my heart stops and I cry into his chest. The next thing I know Mrs. and Mr. Bird have left with all the evidence. But none of it matters now, now that my Aunt is dead.
