Agent Benjamin Ripley

Chapter 19

Hey guys! You have been requesting an update for a bit! Here it is! Also, we're almost at 1,500 views! (WHOOP WHOOP!) Anyway, this will probably be the last update before holiday break. Happy holidays!

The president seemed different. She was nicer than President Stern, but she seemed to be fidgeting. I watched her mannerisms closely. Her fingers were worrying against the desk, and she kept glancing toward the door. Something was wrong. I had my bad gut feeling again. 

"And that's all we know about them so far, madam president." Erica finished. President Nakia glanced toward the door and offered us some tea. It was weird. She busied herself on the side of the room, making the tea with the tea bags. She asked us if we wanted milk, and when we replied back yes, I saw her put a powder in as well. It didn't look like sugar. 

"Don't drink the tea. She put something in it." I whispered to her.

"No shit, Sherlock. I'll tell Mike and Zoe." She rolled her eyes, but put on a fake smile and accepted the mug. Bringing it up to her lips, she tilted it back, but kept her mouth closed. Mike, Zoe and I did the same thing, copying her movements. 

"I just want to thank you for your service." The president told us with a smile, her foot twitching. All of a sudden, seven armed ninjas, literal ninjas, dropped from the ceiling. I wish I was joking. I yelled, and engaged one of them in a fight. Kick, hit, headlock, twist the head. I heard a crack and the ninja dropped to the ground. My brown eyes flaming, I fought another ninja. Erica looks beautiful, I thought as I ducked a punch. It was true. Her brown hair was streaming behind her and she looked like a goddess. The spy always looked more alive when she was fighting. I saw Mike and Zoe being knocked out. My hands were grabbed behind my back, and I kicked, expecting it to be one of the ninjas. 

"That tea was supposed to immobilize you!" A woman grunted, and I realized that the person holding my hands was the president. 

"Why are you doing this?!"

"I have to! They threatened the whole city of Washington D.C. if I didn't turn you over to them!" I grabbed her hands in one hand and hit her forehead with the butt of my gun. The leader of the free world dropped to the floor, out cold. I quickly dispatched the last ninja, and helped Erica off the floor. 

"What happened?"
