Taryn and Jack - NYSM2, Discontinued and up for adoption

Mission gone Wrong Chapter 2

I look over at Jack and Sebastian who are over by the entrance of OCTA, pretending to be security. 

" Sebastian. Show us your work. " Dylan says to Sebastian over the ear bud.

I straighten my cooking outfit as I smile at a man holding some sort of tool thing. 

" Taryn. Go. " Dylan says through my ear bud. 

" I can take over from here, Clark says you're on break. " I say to the man holding the saw thing. 

" What break? " The man asks. " Who's Clark? " 

" ' Who's Clark. ' " I laugh. " That's funny. " I smile. " Can you imagine if I told Rodger that? He'd freak out. " I spray some stuff on a fire thingy causing the fire to go higher. 

" Don't do that! " The man says as he shakes his head and tries to get me away from the fire. 

" What? " I ask. 

" Who the heck is Rodger?! " He asks. 

" Does Lisa know that you don't know Rodger? " I ask in fake disbelief. 

" I don't know who Lisa is. " The man says a little annoyed. 

" Are you kidding again? " I ask. " You don't know who Lisa is now? " 

" No I don't. Just get away. " The man shoos me. 

I gran the slicer thingy but he tries to pull it away. " That's dangerous-" 

" You're ruining the meat! " I say while pulling at the saw thing. " Don't make me go to Brian! " I threaten. 

" I don't know who Brian is! Why are you acting like this? " 

" I'll go straight to him! " 

" Give me that! " 

The blade goes down on my fake arm. Fake blood squirts out and lands on the counter and saw. " Ahh! " I yell out in pretend agony. " Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Oh my gosh! Ahh!! What are you doing to me?! " I yell out. 

I push the guy away and drop the saw thing. 

The other cooks wrap black cloths over my arm. " Oh my gosh! " I yell. " Oh! Oh! " I spot Merritt walk back from hypnotizing Owen, and I hurry up the rest of my act. " Wow! What is that? Is that a miracle towel? " I say in faux amazement. " Oh thank you so much! Do you know what? " I walk over to the man. " You have taught me that I am not cut out for this kind of work. " I sway around to add to the drama. " I quit!! " I walk around the counter. " Tell Rodger I love him, but that this isn't my type of work. Also tell him, we're still on for Friday! Thank you and goodbye! " I go to wave and my fake arm flings off and lands in a pile of vegi's, startling many people. 

I laugh after running to the shelter of back stage and throw off my cook outfit. 

" Nice work, Taryn. " Merritt compliments. 

" Thanks! " I smile. " It was so much fun. I think I want to go into acting. " 

Sebastian and Jack catch up to us. " I'm kinda nervous. " Sebastian says as he looks out at the people. " And I'm not even on stage yet. " 

I smile. " Don't worry Seb. You'll do fine. " 

Owen's appears on the screen in front of the crowd. Merritt tells Owen what to do. 

Owen introduces us and we run out to stage. I laugh and wave at the cheering audience. " Man. It's good to be back! " 

" Hello New York! " Daniel yells. " Thank you so much! Have you met our newest Horsemen? Sebastian. " Daniel points to him. 

Sebastian waves and smiles at the crowd. 

" Feels good, right? " Daniel asks Sebastian. 

" Feels pretty good. " He agrees. " Pretty good. " I spot Dylan by the entrance, watching us, and smile at him. 

" Thank you, thank you. " Daniel laughs slightly as the crowd cheers for us. Ahh. I've missed this so freaking much. " Um, okay. We want to talk to you about your privacy. What does your privacy mean to you? " 

" Because apparently to Owen Case, it means absolutely nothing. " Merritt makes hands gestures as he talks. 

" No, actually it means less than absolutely nothing. " Sebastian points out. " You see, he's mocked your privacy. He's scorned it. " 

" Right, and we're not just talking about things that you already agreed to when you signed, probably without reading the terms and conditions of OCTAS 1 through 7. " I look around at everyone as I talk. 

I furrow my eyebrows as Dylan walks out of the room. What's going on? 

" We had Owen agree to a few terms and conditions of our own. So everything that he had considered private...." Sebastian's voice fades off as his mic dies. Daniel walks over to him as he finishes when Sebastian was trying to say. 

" Yeah, everything that he once considered private is now- " His mic cuts out too. " Oh my..." 

The screen behind us changes from the bright color we had to black and blue. 

I jump as a dark, deep voice talks behind me. " As the horsemen like to say, " A man with his face changing every few seconds talks. Creepy. " magic is about controlling perception. " His voice gets deeper and we talk off to the side of the stage. " You see them as champions of the truth, but are they? Or is that just another illusion of theirs? " Gosh. Way to make people look bad. " So since they clearly love secrets..." Oh shoot. Oh shoot!! What's this guy about to say? What's he doing? " let's reveal some of their own. " 

Daniel gestures for us to get off the stage and we run towards the nearest exit. 

" Do you recall the death of Jack Wilder? " No. No no no. This wasn't supposed to happen! " What if I told you he's not just alive, but he's actually right here. " 

A light shines on Jack and he tries to get away while people and paps take pictures and shoot questions at him. 

A picture of him appears on the screen. " And do you know who else is here? The FBI. Lets let them in, shall we.  And now for the big reveal. There's a sixth horsemen, and he's the biggest criminal of them all. FBI agent Dylan Rhodes. " 

Dylan!! 

We run to the roof where our escape tube is supposed to be. 

" Move! Move!! " Daniel yells. 

" Who are those guys? " Sebastian asks. 

" Who cares! " Merritt yells. " Come on! " 

" Hurry! Hurry! " Daniel pushes us to hurry up. 

" Keep going! " Jack runs behind me as we climb up the ladder. 

" How could this happen? " I ask as I scan the area. " I thought Dylan had everything under control. " 

" Yeah. Apparently he didn't. " Daniel shoots. 

" Maybe you're the leak, Dan. " Merritt looks at Daniel accusingly. " Where have you been sneaking off to? " I raise an eyebrow. What? 

" Don't you dare for a second insinuate that I had any-" 

Merritt cuts Daniel off. " I'm not insinuating. That's your-" 

" Guys, it might not be the right time to fight about this! " I yell. " Get to the truck! " The boys listen and run to our getaway tube leading to the truck. " Stay together! " 

" Move! Move! " Sebastian pushes. 

We slide down this long tube with lights and a weird sound. I squeeze my legs shut, trying to cover myself up because at the speed we're going at, if Jack looks up, he'll see my underwear and everything. 

I hear a faint. ' Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. ' 

At lease I think I do. 

I fall into a bin, right next to Daniel. Wait. A bin? What happened? I straighten my leather jacket and look around confusedly and with a slight head ache. 

There are Asian people cooking around us. " Toto, " I say to no one in general. " I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. "
