Living a Double Life

Chapter 36

Kendall woke up, as always, first one of her friends to rise. She checked her watch and saw that it was about seven in the morning. Yawning as she swung her legs off her bed, she sluggishly walked towards the kitchen to make food. She made herself some tea to wake up as she only went to bed about four, five hours ago. Drinking her tea, she continued to make breakfast for her friends. She cooked some breakfast sandwiches and placed them in the oven to keep them warm. She left the oven light on and left a note on the table for her friends to hopefully find.

Kendall approached the undercover room and changed into her mission clothes. Strolling down the halls, Kendall realized no one else was up. Finally reaching her destination, she walked into the training room to practice some more. She shut the door behind her so she wouldn't wake anyone up. Looking at the wall, she tried to decide which one to practice today.

'Should I practice M11 or AR-15? I did practice an M11 a lot last night, maybe I should practice an AR-15.' She thought about grabbing the AR-15 off the wall. She noticed her scope wasn't attached.

'Guess Smith was trying to teach Mackenzie with this. Must have taken it off when Mac tried using this.' Kendall stated in her head before finding her scope hanging on the wall.

She attached it to the gun and grabbed her earbuds as well. She wrapped her earbud cord around her neck and placed the earbuds in her ears. Kendall turned her head to the right and hit a button on the side. The target started moving left and right, moving like a person was walking. She looked through the scope and pointed her gun in a certain direction. Waiting for the target to approach where she was pointing, she fired and hit dead center of the target.

*two hours later*

Trent finally woke up and saw Kendall had already gotten up. He chuckled when his eyes looked towards the bunk bed to see Mackenzie and Amber still asleep. He got up and made his way to the kitchen, expecting to see Kendall standing there making food or sitting down eating. But to his surprise, there was only a note on the table.

'There's food in the oven. Be careful opening the oven though. The oven is on to keep the food warm. -Kendall' Trent read in his head.

He opened the oven to see food sitting on the top rack. He pulled out one of the sandwiches Kendall made a while before. He placed in on a plate and noticed it was warm. He ate his food and waited to see if Mackenzie and or Amber would wake up anytime soon, or if Kendall would come back to the kitchen. Continuing to get lost in his thoughts, Trent ate until an hour later, Amber walked into the kitchen, still in her pajamas.

"Hey Trent." Amber yawned.

"Hey Amber. Kendall made food, it's in the oven. Be careful, the oven is on." Trent quickly explained.

"Ok thanks. Where is Kendall anyways?" Amber replied grabbing one of the sandwiches and sitting down across the table from Trent.

"No idea. I have a feeling I know where she is, but I could be wrong. I'm going to go look." Trent stated getting up from his seat and placing his plate in the sink.

"Wait! I'm coming with you." Amber called getting up and following Trent.

"If Kendall is where I think she is, then be quiet." Trent sighed approaching the training room.

"Why would she be here? Didn't you guys practice enough last night?" Amber whispered tagging along behind Trent.

"Shh, she's practicing." Trent responded looking through the glass to see Kendall practicing with her gun.

"I'm going to go back and wake Mackenzie up. It's almost eleven in the morning and she should really be up by now." Amber whispered as Trent nodded his head.

Amber turned back down the hallway as Trent continued to watch Kendall. She finally placed her gun down for a few minutes, so Trent walked inside.

"Oh, hey Trent." Kendall quickly turned around to greet.

"Hey. Haven't you been practicing enough?" Trent asked walking up to see all the targets had bullet holes in them.

"Eh, no such thing." Kendall stated picking her gun back up.

"When did you start practicing this morning?" Trent questioned grabbing his earbuds so he wouldn't damage his eardrums.

"I don't know. Woke up at like seven, made breakfast, then came to practice. So probably like seven thirty, eight. Why?" Kendall thought out loud.

"Kendall, it's like almost eleven in the morning." Trent explained.

"Eh, your point?" Kendall questioned before aiming towards the target.

"You've been practicing all morning." Trent sighed.

"I know you want this mission to go well, but you don't need to work yourself so much to do just that." Trent added.

"Take a break for a little." Trent stated patting Kendall on the shoulder.

"I guess." Kendall exclaimed placing her gun up on the wall and leaving the training room with Trent.

Kendall and Trent walked towards the gaming room, expecting to see Amber and Mackenzie sitting there playing a game, waiting for them. But, neither Amber or Mackenzie were there.

"HEY TRENT KENDALL, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP WITH MACKENZIE?!" Amber yelled from their room.

"Coming!" Kendall shouted back, motioning to Trent to follow her.

"What's up?" Kendall asked walking in their room to see Amber standing in front of Mackenzie who was still asleep.

"She won't get up." Amber uttered.

"Kendall, wanna take care of this?" Trent chuckled.

"Sure." Kendall laughed walking to Mackenzie who was still asleep.

"Mackenzie wake up." Kendall called shaking her to get up.

Mackenzie was still asleep, not moving a muscle. 

"You two might wanna cover your ears at this point." Kendall sighed before rushing to the kitchen to grab something.

"Where are you going?" Amber called back.

Kendall came back into the room with a cup of water.

"You'll see." Kendall stated.

"Kendall, she's gonna lose it." Trent warned.

"Oh, I know. That's the point." Kendall laughed before splashing the water onto Mackenzie's face, waking her up. 

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Kendall shouted with Amber and Trent laughed along with her.

"Kendall, what the hell?!" Mackenzie yelled.

"Dude, it's almost noon." Kendall laughed before walking to go and put the cup away.

"Why couldn't you have just waken me up normally?" Mackenzie called following after her.

"Me and Amber both tried." Kendall chuckled while throwing away the cup.

"And Kendall is the only one who can actually wake you up." Amber laughed coming into the kitchen with Trent. 

"Now you know to not sleep in until noon with me around." Kendall stated, turning to Mackenzie and grinning.

"Next time, I'm sleeping on the top bunk so Kendall can't do that to me." Mackenzie yawned.

"Why would that stop me?" Kendall chuckled.

"Because Amber is going to be underneath me in the bottom bunk." Mackenzie explained.

"So I'll wake up Amber and tell to get up so I can wake you up." Kendall replied.

Campbell walked into the kitchen, surprised to see all four of them sitting at the table.

"Hey Campbell." Trent greeted.

"Hello you four. Trent and Kendall, I would recommend you go get ready. At sun down, you two will be going to the location." Campbell stated before walking out.

"I guess that means we should all get ready for tonight." Amber added with the four getting up to go get ready for their mission in a few hours.
