"who are you ?" i asked that weird girl.
" I'm samantha and you are at the-" she replied or tried to but was cut off
"The Underworld Mafia Corporation" Jason finished .
wait . what ?
It took me 2 seconds to process what they had just spoken until.....i bursted out laughing like a maniac.
And the guy on top of me as well as the weird girl who claims to be Samantha looked at me as if I were the mysterious dumb creature that had just landed on earth . Talk about laughing during a serious conversation.
Whatever , what do these people think of me ? a toddler ? tryna play power rangers??
"okay then" i say between my laughs , "let me be the pink ranger. Too bad I have a flight tomorrow ."
"why me?" i ask between my laughs.
" Because you happen to be a gymnast , and an international level boxer , Ms. Shephora , we aren't joking here " I hear an unfamiliar voice and that stopped me from laughing. I look towards the direction where the sound had come from only to see a bald man in his late fifties .How the fuck does he know my name ????
Wait he looks familiar . I just don't know how come. C'mon think Shephora ,think!! you aren't an old lady that forgets everything! Is he the old guy that sold cupcakes near my house? Probably no.
..... Or the ...
"why do you look so tensed ?" the old guy asked .
"First of all , Jason get off of me "
" oh ... I'm here" Jason quickly stated raising his right hand like an innocent 9 year old toddler.
*embarrassed* okay so I was lying on the floor like a moron all by myself ? uh embarrassing ..
I get up on my feet.
"oh sorry , never mind ..... You were the guy on the train , weren't you? The guy who was pretending to be blind ? " I asked which sounded more like as if I were threatening him .
" Impressive " the old guy nods.
Why is he acting so cool? He's too old for these crappy things.
"Is this a reality show or something?" i ask Jason confused and he just shakes his head in defeat .
"Shephora Woodley , we are hoping that you'd join us , this is not a joke . Does it look like we have time for any of this?" Jason asks
Well, to be honest .Yeah.
"Ahammm " the old man clears his throat .
"First of all we need you to finish your highschool and meanwhile , you will be training as a trainee. .. All arrangements have been made with your school and you'll be starting off tomorrow and Samantha , Ryan and Jason will be with you in the school. And during your training ,you'll be sent on minor missions that god knows how dangerous they are going to be. But it'll happen only if you agree to it . So, are you in?" the old guy asks
Who the heck is Ryan?? (Jesus! Please not this old fart)
P.S. Dad would've never allowed me to this .But..
" I'm in ! " i say without any hesitation.
" We'll be flying to New York city" the old guy says "And your things are with us. So, we should be leaving ... Ohhh and I almost forgot to tell you that I'm Juvenile "
This shit that I've got myself into is unbelievable . So, they have my things too??
"what is a juvenile? " I try to clear out my confusion because juvenile means young and he clearly is not.
"my name " he replies. ohh. I simply nod .
***
After everything , I really don't know what's going on in my life ... I was a nerd who was always ditching parties because of my dad but after i ran off , I am a trainee of the mafia?? Well ,the progress seems unreal .
But sounds heck cheesy!!
After listening to Samantha on the flight for 2 hours straight, I came to know a lot of things , well actually not , I was just pretending most of the time . But what I came to know is that Jason was the first trainee , he's the most experienced one and then came the 'Ryan' guy and then Samantha .So, the most experienced one got to be the captain and others were cadets.
Apparently, Jason is a highly trained martial art player who has excelled in weaponry and Ryan happens to be a computer geek and a taekwondo player . Samantha is also a martial art player and an international chess player .
And I am the noob . At least for now .
