Living a Double Life

Chapter 52

The four reached their base that was closer to their school and Mackenzie turned her car's engine off.

"Let's go." Trent sighed closing his door once he stepped out of Mac's car.

The four teenagers looked around to make sure no one followed them before entering the building and walking to the briefing room to see Campbell's face appears on the screen.

"Good, you're all here. We need you four for a mission. But it won't be until the weekend so you won't miss school. I know it's your senior year. So we won't pull you out of school like we used to. There may be some times when we will have to pull you four out, but there shouldn't be any of those missions anytime soon." Campbell explained as the four sat down in front of the screen.

"I really hope not. AP Calc might actually kill us if we miss that class." Kendall exclaimed leaning back into the couch.

"Well, as of right now, you four will need to do some research before walking into this mission. You will need to research this group that was started in the 1930s. It should be in the library." Campbell added handing Trent a file.

Trent opened the folder and was met with a weird symbol and some details about this group. 

"Let's go look up some stuff on this group." Trent sighed handing Kendall the file and getting up to look at it.

"Well looks like we need to look for Xplosion I guess." Kendall added following Trent into the library with Amber and Mackenzie following behind. 

Kendall, Amber and Mackenzie followed to see Trent looking for the book. Reaching into a shelf, he pulled a book off the shelf and started flipping through the pages. 

"That group started with an X right?" Trent questioned looking over at Kendall.

"Yup." Kendall called looking back at the file.

"Here it is. Kendall, you wanna read it out loud?" Trent asked.

"I guess." Kendall groaned grabbing the book as Trent handed it to her.

"Let's see. Xplosion, this group is a notorious group started in the 1930s. The original group consisted of Mike Alyster, the leader, Charles Umber, the brains, Zachery Blossom, the intelligence, Alex Hanratty, the mechanic, and Scott Mack, the planner. After many years of pulling heists and being well known, the five disappeared. Whether the five have descendants or not has not been determined." Kendall read out loud. 

"Let's head back out to the main room." Mackenzie explained as the four walked outside. 

"Well I see you four have found the book." Campbell exclaimed popping up on the screen in the main room. 

"Yup. Now what exactly are we doing?" Amber questioned sitting down on the couch.

"Well, recently it seems a descendant of one of the original members has appeared." Campbell stated as a file appeared from Campbell. Kendall got up and opened the file.

"Trevor Mack?" Kendall read out looking up at Campbell.

"Correct. Read up on him. You will need to bring him back to the base and get any information out of him about what he knows. Because he is still seen wearing a necklace with the logo on it. So he must have some idea as to what the group is." Campbell explained.

"Any information we could find on him is in the file." Campbell added motioning to the file Kendall was holding.

"When does this mission start?" Mackenzie asked.

"Saturday, he is hosting a party. We will get you four invitations. We have a plan and a backup plan. First you can locate him and try to offer him a drink. Kendall, you will need to make some of those knock out pills. Add one to his drink and see what happens. If that doesn't work, wait til the very end of the party and offer to help clean up. Then try to knock him out and bring him back here." Campbell uttered.

"Will do. I have some of those pills made from the last mission." Kendall sighed.

"Try to not draw any unwanted attention to yourselves." Campbell warned before logging off.

"Hey Trent, do you think you can help those two with fighting while I read up on this Trevor guy? By the sounds of this mission, they might need it." Kendall questioned motioning over to Amber and Mackenzie.

"Sure, you can just sit back and read up on him while I attempt to train these two." Trent sighed walking to the training room.

*two hours later*

"Can we take a break Trent? I'm tired." Mackenzie complained lying down on the floor.

"It's only been two hours. But fine. We can see what Kendall learned on Trevor." Trent sighed taking off his fingerless gloves he used to fight.

The three approached the library where Kendall was lying on the floor with the papers in front of her. With her headphones on, she didn't even realize the three walked in. Kendall looked up and finally noticed her friends entering the library.

"Oh hey guys. So I've found a lot about him while you guys were training." Kendall exclaimed dropping her headphones down around her neck.

"So Trevor Mack, age 17 will be 18 in May. Dark brown-blackish hair, brown eyes, about 5' 7" - 5'8". He does kung fu and plays a lot of percussion instruments. So that means he's fairly strong and can predict your moves pretty well. His academics are fairly good as well. But he wants to go into the military." Kendall gave a run down on Trevor.

"Does he know anything different like your chemistry skills?" Mackenzie asked.

"Nope. He's not into science or math. He's more into history apparently." Kendall interjected.

"So that's how we approach him? Talk history?" Trent uttered.

"That's my best guess." Kendall sighed, picking up one of the papers and placing it on a table in front of the others.

"That's what he looks like. Just so you guys have an idea." Kendall stated lightly tossing the file on the table. 

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go train a little bit." Kendall added getting up and walking to the undercover room to change into her training clothes. 

"Can you try to teach Amber and Mackenzie some stuff?" Trent shouted from the library.

"Sure. But I don't wanna hear them complaining about training with me." Kendall called back standing in the doorway of the library already in her training clothes. 

"Let's go. We'll see how well you two do training with me." Kendall chuckled approaching the training room.

Kendall grabbed her fingerless gloves from the wall and tightened them around her wrist.

"Are you two joining me or just gonna watch?" Kendall asked looking over at Amber and Mackenzie.

"We'll try, but we've never done this with you." Mackenzie replied.

"Well watch your back and try to keep up. That's the best advice I can give you." Kendall laughed and motioned for Amber and Mackenzie to follow her into the simulation room. 

Kendall started up the training simulator that Campbell recently added to their base. She set up her normal amount of enemies and set everything else up too. 

"Here catch." Kendall sighed tossing the other two a pair of simulation glasses and put a pair on herself. 

"Put them on and press the button on the side. Once all three of us turn on our glasses, the simulation will start up. At that point, protect yourself and each other." Kendall explained pressing the button on the side of her glasses. 

Mackenzie and Amber put on their glasses and pressed the button. The room went dark and their surroundings changed completely. They were now in a downtown area to a city. Enemies appeared out of nowhere. 

Kendall was fighting them off left and right, as Amber and Mackenzie were struggling to handle themselves. One of the enemies was knocked Mackenzie off her feet and Kendall came and tackled the enemy to the ground. 

"I told you to watch your back." Kendall warned getting up and continuing to fight.

After some time, the simulation was over. The three took off their glasses and put them back. Amber didn't do too bad, but Kendall had to watch over Mackenzie.

"Amber, I'll be honest, you did pretty well. Mackenzie, I seriously need to teach you how to watch your back." Kendall added.

"Yeah I know to not use that simulation without you or on those settings." Mackenzie groaned.

"Well maybe one day, we could all use the simulation at once." Trent laughed as the three exited the simulation room.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Mackenzie sighed sitting down on the floor. 

"Well at least we have some time before this mission starts, so Mackenzie can train." Kendall stated laughing with Trent and Amber.
