I don't own Spy School
"Elizabeth Pasternak?! You're positive?" Erica questioned me.
"I'm sure, Erica." I moped in the car, looking out the window of the SUV.
"You're bleeding." She said quietly, her eyes filled with worry. I picked up my sleeve which was heavy with blood and sweat. Erica gasped when she saw the word cut into my arm. Pulling over on the highway, she dug into the glove compartment, pulling out a first aid kit and a new shirt. Some other girls might be squeamish at the sight of blood, but not my Erica. I smiled. She had probably been certified in first-aid since she was four.
Gritting my teeth, I grunted when the rubbing alcohol touched my skin. It looked like it was turning blue.
"Sorry." Erica muttered as she dabbed at the dried blood with the gauze. Wrapping it up, she looked at me.
"What did they do to you?"
"It definitely wasn't a gang or anything like that. They were too organized. I think we're dealing with another organized syndicate like SPYDER." I shuddered. It had been three years and that name still brought me nightmares. Holding my arm, I stared out the window. A mere hours ago, I was in danger of losing my life. Again. What had drawn Elizabeth to this organization? Love, money, hubris and quest for power could make people do crazy things. It didn't seem like it was any of those.
I was so distracted that I didn't notice the car pulling up at the gates of the academy. I felt Erica's hand touch my wounded arm and I hissed in pain.
"Sorry." She said, drawing her hand back as I rubbed my arm. She leaned forward, and helped me out of the van. Zoe and Mike rushed forward, grabbing my arms as I limped across the snow.
"What happened?!" Zoe asked, her eyes wide at Erica.
"I... was kidnapped by the new organization. They wanted to find Erica and something called 'Project Raincoat', I think?"
"We went to go find you to show you something hilarious that Mike did, I'll show you the pictures later, and then we found your room ransacked and a new bullet hole in the wall!" Zoe wrung her hands after depositing me in a bed in the infirmary.
"I'm fine, Zo... Don't you... worr..." I said before the world faded to black for the third time that day.
