Five Girls, One Mission

Chapter 15

 Alex’s POV

“Four ladies, all at once?” the guard suspected. Oh, we are so dead. I hope I make this a better lie. Well, Coleen was right. No, she wasn’t right about me flirting with Izzy because I do not fall for girls but she was right about me being known for a liar. “It’s suspicious, Sir”.

I cleared my throat. God, please, help me. Here goes my accent again. “Well, there isn’t a law about this, now. My loving grandfather was Muslim so it is a matter of family distinction. And four is better than just one”.

“You can enter”, he led us into the cloister. “The party is just located straight ahead”.

“Thank you, good sir”, I said gratefully to the guard. Oh, thank the heavens, we got passed that dude! My head suddenly hurt. I felt a little bit pain in my chest.

Courtney took a slight grip on my hand. “That was a nice sacrifice”, she told me. “I know how humiliating it means to you”.

“Oh, you tell me, you know only fourths of it”, I replied with a face palm.

“Alex, are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah, yeah”, I lied again. “It’s called humiliation. I can’t handle any kind of them emotions”.

We finally reached the dancefloor. Punchbowls on long tables, ladies and gentlemen talking, chatting and dancing, music playing, a band on the stage and nachos and other more food were the things that caught my attention. “That’s a lot of food”, Izzy spoke. “This agency must be really rich”.

I finally clutched my chest in pain and closed my eyes shut tight. “Alex…?” Courtney shook me gently.

“Yeah…?” I replied holding back the pain. “I-is there something wrong?”

“Yes, what’s going on with you? Why are you clutching your chest?”

“No, i-it’s just no-nothing personally; I felt a tickle but I can’t seem to scratch it”.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes”, I answered looking around. “We b-better find the USB before it’s too late”.

Courtney had a worried look on her face. “Where do we start?”

“I got this, just wait right here and distract as many people as you could to avoid me to be caught”.

I walked off through the crowd and found a room near the farthest part of the mansion. I found a door at the end of a hallway. With a few extra face powder (which I never used since the day I was born), I made the powder fly just in case if there were invisible security lights and there were. I jumped, did somersaults, went under and above before I could reach the door. I opened it and found a USB inside a glass box exposed in the middle of the room as if it was being exhibited in a museum. Before I could touch anything, I checked for CCTV’s and turned into female in my agency uniform. Slowly, I pulled up the glass and got the USB without any noises.

“And this is the agency’s pride and joy”, a voice spoke from outside as I heard keyboard typing. Somebody was disarming the security lights. Sure, why didn’t I think of that? Hey, it isn’t my fault my chest is practically burning inside!

I turned invisible and put the USB back in the glass. Instead if I ran off with the USB back to the agency, I swipe it back. Ugh, what the heck was wrong with me? Oh yeah, my chest hurts, hello?

“The USB”, a man in a brown tux like mine (except the fact that mine was black and I hate ribbons on the collar) spoke with a couple of guys behind him. Those two were the real guests while the five of us girls were clearly robbers. “It can stop an entire alien invasion just by installing it inside a UFO”.
