Caught RED Handed

The Crowning

*beep* *beep*, I awoke suddenly, ready to beat someone up- or just my alarm clock. I glanced at the time on the elderly clock, it was 3:00 am, I sighed half amused, half annoyed, "Well played Finn, well played! " I muttered under my breath as I sleepily tried to get out of bed (two hours early may I add). I tried to reach for the door handle, but missed by a mile then fell back onto my bed lazily and dozed off for another hour. When I woke up again, I could hear the older agents running up and down the halls, nagging about their mission to their friends, or rushing off to a meetings. Once again I arose from the bed and went to the other side of my room to get ready, today was a big day- but I just didn't know it.

After putting my mousy brown hair into a neat bun- ready for action, and getting out of my pajamas, I strolled out of my room. The corridor was crowded- just the way I liked it, I didn't know what to do or where to head to but I went with the crowd and found myself standing in the auditorium, then it hit me, "Of course it's the crowning today! How could I forget!" The crowning is like a spy's coronation, where the spy's go up in the business if they were doing well, I hoped to finally get out of my title as a Techie and go up the ranks to a Somewhat Spy. I sat down on a bench near the front to get a good view; Dr. Stella stood in the middle of the stage, with a look of importance- she was merciless, and we all knew it, if she could, no one would go up in this business- except her of course. She was the head of the BOSC and wore it like a crown, she also happened to be the mother figure in my life.

After my parents disappearance, or in some people's eyes death, I needed a home, a family- I was only 9 at the time. And because of my parents connections with the FBI, I ended up there, first with the CIA then the FBI and finally BOSC. I knew Dr. Stella was not by any means the nicest or the most caring- but I knew she had a heart in her body, I also knew she had a sweet spot: anything to do with children, she loved them with all her heart, and I was no exception.

"Hello everybody, we are gathered here today to celebrate this year's crowning." Dr Stella anounced, we all started to pay attention, she was about to announce who had been chosen to be crowned everybody had an anxious look on their face as Dr. Stella announced, "One person from each category will be moving up, this will be the person who has completed the most tasks or missions. Ok let's start: first for the Goons Larry, Anna, next the Techies Stevens, Briar, for the Somewhat Spy's, Clemens Marrisa," that was all I heard, all I knew was that I had been promoted to Somewhat Spy! This may seem small to other people but to me it was massive.
