I run into Liel's room and I see the guys, including a very shirtless Liel, sitting around watching Need For Speed.
"Well, hello. You look awfully happy. I'm guessing Chief didn't bite your head off," Max says and I scoff with a smile.
"Say hello to the new, Agent Twenty-four," Twelve says from behind me and the guys stare at me in shock. They then start cheering loudly.
"Can she be on our team? Can we keep her? Please," Max begs and I groan.
"What is it with people treating me like a dog?" The guys laugh and Max is about to reply when Twelve beats him to it.
"Zip it, Max. Yes, Kid Wassim can be on your team. Also, say hi to your new trainer. Bye, kids," Twelves says and he leaves. Everyone then cheers yet again. They all run up to me and they tackle me in a group hug.
"Si! Si! Si!" They chant and I laugh.

"I heard that you're a new agent. Congratulations, Sweetheart," Mrs. Wilkins says as I enter the kitchen. I smile at her gratefully and I start making myself some snacks. "Midnight snacks?"
"Yeah... Can't sleep. It's only chips and dip though," I say with a smile and Mrs. Wilkins giggles.
"You better get some sleep. Your first day of school is tomorrow." My eyes widen and I stuff some chips in my mouth and I put everything back. I go to run out of the kitchen but I stop mid-step. I turn back to Mrs. Wilkins and I hug her tightly.
"Thank you. For everything." With that, I pull away and I run up the stairs. I run into my room and I yelp in surprise when I see the guys standing next to my bed.
"It's agent initiation. Hope you're ready for hell, Cupcake," Alec says with an evil smirk and I gulp.

"Come on, guys. This isn't funny. I'm supposed to be sleeping. Tomorrow is my first day of school," I whine as we walk down a dark alley. The guys forced me into all black clothing and they made me wear a black mask that only covers my nose, cheeks, and mouth.
"You can sleep when you're dead," Max spits out and I roll my eyes. They push open a door and they lead me inside. My eyes widen as I see a lot of men wearing black attire.
"Am I the only girl here?"
"Yup. Just keep your hood on and your head low. Hold onto the back of my shirt so you won't get lost. We'll protect you, Princess." I nod and I grab onto Liel's shirt. I then realize that Max is walking next to my left side and James is walking next to my right side. Alec is behind me and Liel is in front of me. They really are protecting me.
"Welcome, people. We have a Newcomer. Please welcome our guest." I know that voice. I look up and I see Twelve, staring directly at me. Liel and the guys burst out laughing and I smack each of them on the back of the head.
"You had me ready to shit my pants, you bozos!" Laughter erupts in the room making me realize I said that louder than intended. "Sorry."
"Come up here, Kid Wassim," Twelve tells me and I do as told. I walk up onto the stage that Twelve is standing on and I walk to his side.
"What's going on," I whisper and Twelve looks at me with a devilish smirk.
"Kid Wassim challenges anyone who wants to go up against her!" I gasp and I snap my head back to Twelve. I glare at him and his smirk falters. "Come up here if you dare go against the beast!"
Five guys immediately jog up on stage and they stand behind me. I look at Twelve expectantly but he doesn't seem to notice. I am about to ask him what is happening when I feel someone put their hand on my shoulder. Out of instincts, I grab the person's wrist and I flip them over me. I notice that this person is one of the five guys that came up here.
