"What do you mean he rejected alliance?" I asked
"Vanessa stop asking me these questions these are top secret questions you are asking." My mom said as we walked to the tubes that take us to our home pods.
"Mom we both know that in a few days there will either be a leak or a news story on this so why not tell me the information now?" I snapped.
My mom sighed and ran her hand through her brown hair. Many men even ones my age looked over to her with lust. It was no secret to the world how beautiful my mom was. She had perfect brown skin, big brown eyes with hints of gold, full red lips, and a wonderful figure that was defined by her chanel air suit. We all wore air suits which were interactive clothing. After World War 3 in 2054 the UN agreed that creativity was the reason for conflict and if they toke away humans would have no reason to fight because there would be nothing to truly love. Afterwards the separation happened and the world spilt into three providences Ardor, Forte, and Sagacity. My mom said we were lucky to even still be allowed into space. It was only because we were in Ardor Providence and US country. Meaning we were one of the few places on earth where creativity was not completely dead.
"They're mad at us." My mom said after a while breaking in the tube.
"Pardon?" I replied.
"The Titanians, they're mad at us." My mom said with a sigh.
"What reason would they have to be mad?" I asked.
"We took something from them. Something they cherished." My mom said.
"What did we take? Why did they cherish it? Do we know what it is?" I asked.
"I will not answer anymore questions Vanessa. It's not right it's not the time." My mom said.
I was about to argue but I bit my tongue. My mom said she would not answer anymore questions not do not ask anymore. She wasn't even putting up a fight.
Which meant only one thing.
She knows exactly what the Titanians are looking for, why they're looking for it, and where it is.
And she can't tell me.
-------------later that day----------------
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No Nessa!"
"Carrie please? Matt already agreed on helping me. I have to know! Don't you want to know why the Titanians are mad at us? And what they want?" I asked
"Nessa no. I have not, am not, and will never break into the very place where I work!" Carrie said.
-------15 minutes later------------
"This is a bad idea this is a bad idea Nessa." Carrie said as we ran to the electric trains. We had to use the electric trains and not my car since we were still underage and were not allowed to be out past 12 at night. And since Carrie's Nike airs ( her flying shoes) were still broken we had to do things the old fashioned way.
"Shut up the electric train only takes 2 minutes to get the the ET communications center inside NASA. So please shut up damn it." I whisper shouted to her as I ran to a pole slid down the the roof of an extremely old building ( hence why it had a roof only very important buildings still had roofs) and ran to the edge.
Carrie slid to the roof with a thud and ran over while panting. "Is..this..seriously.. necessary?" Carrie said while panting.
I ignored her. "Ready to jump?" I asked her instead.
"JUMP?!?!?" Carrie yelled.
" Why on earth would we jump? Off a building?!"
"Because then we won't get caught. Unless you want to explain why we're late." I snapped "and be quiet."
Carrie groaned and swore under her breath. I got to the edge of the building and squatted on it and motioned for Carrie to do the same.
"Okay see that train? Okay so on the count of three we jump." I said.
Carrie nodded.
"One."
"Two."
"Three!" I said and both Carrie and I jumped off the roof and onto the top of the electric train.
I quickly grabbed my Google gram (a portable hologram device) and called Matt on it.
"Yes?" Matt answered.
"Get us in" I said.
"What's the magic word?" Matt sang.
"YOU IDIOT GET US IN THIS STUPID ASS TRAIN NOW OR SO HELP ME I WILL PERSONALLY KILL YOU!" Carrie yelled.
Matt chuckled and did some technology crap to get us into the electric train.
Unfortunately we were right on top of the entrance area so both Carrie and I fell into the train.
Matt came up behind us and offered us a hand.
"Ow!?" Carrie yelled at him and slapped him in the head.
"A thank you would be much appreciated." Matt said.
Carrie rolled her eyes. "So how long are we on here?" She asked.
Matt checked his i-gram "in approximately 2 minutes." He said.
"So I suggest that you guys make a plan on how to actually get this missing information."
Carrie looked at me with hate " You don't have a plan?!?! Oh that's just great Nessa! Fantastic really! This is not Harry Potter we can't bust into the ET communications center wave our wands and hope everything goes alright! This, this is real life!" she said
And as usual that's when I got my idea.
I looked at Matt and nodded to him. The best thing with having friends for so long is you can look at them and know exactly what they mean.
"Carrie follow my lead." I said.
Carrie was about to object but then she sighed. "Alright well if we're going to do this let's do it right. We have 1 minute prepare yourselves Matt you gotta hack the back entrance that's where Ness and I will go in and I'm assuming you know where I'm going with this." She said.
Matt nodded and then looked at the time. "T-30 seconds until we need to jump." He said.
"Why can't you just say 30 seconds?" I asked.
Matt winked " Takes away all the magic." He said.
"Wait Matt why can't you just stop the train?" Carrie asked
"Because we'll get discovered and T-10 seconds get ready you guys." Matt said as he wiped out the evidence of us being on the train. We all ran over the door of the train. Carrie pulled out her pocket knife and stabbed the button that keeps it closed. I looked from Carrie to Matt and nodded then we all ran off the train and onto the turf since no one had the time to plant and care for grass anymore. Grass was only still around in certain areas for animals. Then Matt grabbed his i-gram and hacked into the back entrance of NASA. Carrie and I ran in while Matt went into one of the vents and started hacking so we could go through the entrances without being seen. Once we made it to the ET communications center we went inside and went to the air computers. While most businesses have updated to hologram slides NASA has not. Carrie thought it was cute. I thought it was outdated by 5 years. Matt loved them because they were faster technology wise and they were easier to hack.
Which makes our job easier.
"You're in." Matt's voice came through my earpiece. Carrie handed me rubber gloves. I looked at them with disgust. "What the hell are those?" I asked. Carrie rolled her eyes " well if you mess up they will come to keypads and trace your fingerprints. It wouldn't be a problem for me because I work here. You don't." Carrie said. I groaned but grabbed the stupid gloves and put them on.
Carrie grabbed two floating chairs. "Let's get to work." She said
