The 23rd Disappearnce

The Disappearance of Agent 23

A ringing noise filled my ears. I rolled my eyes around the back of my eyelids and moved my arms and legs, only to find that I was strapped to the chair. "Damnit!!"I thought. I opened my eyes and looked around. A bright light was hanging from the ceiling. A table was in front of me with a couple of folders and papers. I tried to remember how I had gotten here.

I couldn't think of how. I knew I wasn't in my head quarters though. A mirror was on my left side. I knew that I was going to be integrated. "Great...how do I get out of here? What can I use?" I thought scanning the room for something useful.

I found nothing, then the door opened on my left. A tall man around six feet, blond hair, blue eyes stepped. A shorter man around five eight, black hair, green eyes and a scar across his right side of his face, walked in behind him. They both wore black suits with red ties.

The man with black hair sat down at the table in front of me. The blond hair man stood by the door blocking the entrance. "Hailey Grace Adams. Former spy working for the NFSI am I correct?" The black-haired man asked. I glared at him and cornered my eyes at the blond-haired man. I recognized him immediately. "Derek? Nate? Who would have thought you were the ones behind all this? You let a kid ruin your fun?" I asked them.

Derek took two steps closer to me when Nate put up his hand to stop him. Derek glanced at Nate who was just smirking from my reply. I glared at him again. Nate set the folders down while Derek folded his arms in frustration. I rolled my eyes and sat back into the chair. "So, this is where you hide out." I asked in cocky manner. "Enough. Are you Hailey Grace Adams or not?" Nate asked annoyed. "What do you think. It would be a real shame if I weren't, but I would think it would be pretty easy to find someone who's only hacked into your data about thirty-six times. Yes I am." I said annoyed. "As if it weren't obvious enough."I thought.

Nate glared back and then sighed. He leaned forward towards me. "Well Hailey, it is that simple. You didn't take anything from us. We have been watching you for quite some time. After all, we aren't that stupid." Nate said smirking. Derek was now smiling to. I was a little shocked by his reply. "Damnit!! Shoot!! No!! That can't be right! Assholes!!!" I thought. They set me up and they set me up good. I didn't know what to think.

"Who has the data that you stole? It's obvious you don't have it." Nate asked threating. I looked over at Derek you glared at me. "What's he even here for? You afraid of getting your ass kicked by a sixteen-year-old girl?" I said in a cocky manner. Nate looked pissed off. "ENOUGH!!" Nate yelled as he slammed the table. I didn't even flinch. I scoffed as Nate sat back into his chair. Derek took another step closer to me. "What? Is that supposed to intimidate me or something? You really think I'm going to hand over the website data that easily?" I said threating.

Nate rubbed his forehead and stood up. Derek walked behind me while Nate walked in front of me. "No. That's why Derek is here. I'll leave you two alone for thirty minutes. You'll hand it over soon enough." Nate said as he walked towards the door. "Oh, by the way Hailey, you're going to wish you had just told me. Don't have too much fun." Nate said smirking as he exited.

I rolled my eyes and spoke, "Finally. I was getting bored. What you plan to do, question me to death like Nate? Honestly that was torturous to listen to." I said annoyed. Only silence filled the room. I tried looking around behind me but only saw pitch black darkness. "Where the hell did he go?" I wondered. "Don't panic...Don't panic...play cool...you just have to buy time...I can do this...Don't panic...Where the hell did he go?" I thought. Just then Derek appeared on my right side. I jumped a little not going to lie.

"Your buying time, aren't you?" Derek asked softly squinting at me. Both his hands were behind him. "No. I just enjoy annoying you guys. It's quite entertaining. So, you are going to bore me death with questions?" I said again in lazy tone.

Derek glared at me. I could tell he was starting to get pissed off. "No, I'm afraid that's Nate's job. My job is to get the answer." Derek said stepping closer to me. He knelt down by my side and stared directly into my eyes. "Who has the data?" He asked softly in a none threating voice. I swallowed and answered right away, "Don't know. Who do you think has it? I thought you guys were good at this?! Guess my hunch was wrong." I snapped at him. He stood up quickly and walked up to the table.

Derek set down a rolled-up bag. He unraveled it and revealed sharp utensils. I gulped at first. I felt my heart nearly jump out of my chest. Derek faced me again. He crossed his arms and spoke again in a louder more threating voice, "Who has the data?" I thought carefully of my next words, "I don't know! I told you! What!? Do you think I'm lying?" I said angrily.

"Don't know if your lying or not. But this will tell me if you are or not." Derek said holding a sharp piece of glass. He broke it and walked towards me. I leaned all the way back now. I swallowed hard. He knelt down on my left side and asked in low tone, "Who has the data?" I didn't answer him. He shrugged and moved the glass towards my eye. He held my eyelid open and just as the glass touched my eye I spoke, "Austin agent 327!! He has the data!!!" I yelled gripping the arms of the chair. Derek stopped and took the glass away from my eye.

I sighed with relief. Derek was way crazier than I thought. Derek was still holding the glass in his hand when he spoke, "Who else is involved? Did you speak to anyone else about this? Agent 23?" Derek said in low causal tone.

I thought hard, but my memory was pretty foggy. "I don't know who else was involved. I swear!!" I said biting my lip and gripping the arms of the chair. Derek squinted at me and half smiled. He stood up and was now holding a four-inch knife. He cornered his eyes at me and then putting his arms behind him he walked behind my chair. I closed my eyes trying to think of a way to get away or escape, but my mind was fritzing out over the stupid knife.

I opened my eyes as Derek was now kneeling down on my right side. "Who else is involved?" He asked in a causal tone. I hated that about Derek. He was always so calm when it came to hurting me or I guess when it came to hurting anyone. "I can't remember!" I snapped at him. That's when Derek took the knife and moved my sleeve. I let out a grunt as he tore into my arm. "I swear...I...Don't...KNOW!!!" I screamed as he continued to cut into my arm. "STOP.... STOP!!! I DON'T KNOW HONEST!!!!" Derek stopped and then asked, "Are you sure you don't know?" I gritted my teeth as a burning sensation went up my arm. I nodded. Derek stood up and Nate entered back into the room. Two other agents in blue suits and sunglasses entered. "Good work Derek." Nate said. I shut my eyes and then opened them. I looked down at my bloody arm. I would have one nasty scar. That's when I felt a stinging sensation in my left arm. I looked up and noticed Derek who injected me. I quickly felt dizzy and as I tried to hold back sleep I blacked out. "Little did they now...I knew exactly who else was involved."  I thought before I blacked out.
