Peter and Charlotte

The big boss

We were being escorted to a large black van by the agents. Charlotte was staring daggers at all of the men and I could tell that she was already trying to plan an escape. We got up into the van and were instantly strapped to seats and bounded tightly. Looks like these guys weren't taking any chances. I saw disappointment behind Charlotte's eyes when we were being bounded, she now knew that there was no hope of escaping. The trip took a while and I eventually fell asleep. I suppose that they thought it was better that I was asleep than awake.
Time passed quickly and eventually, someone shook me violently to wake me up. My eyes fluttered open and my thoughts came back to me. We were going to be thrown into jail! The men unbuckled us and ordered us to walk. A few of them had huge assault rifles in there hands. Charlotte and I looked at each other and silent messages went through our eyes. She was sad and scared, I was determined and strong. We were marched into a building with armed people everywhere. They turned their heads towards us and gave us weird looks. We were obviously not welcome. We were led down a corridor and shoved through some doors. A man at the end of a big table was filling out some paperwork and neatly stacking it in piles. He raised his head and a grin broke out on his face. "Welcome!" His voice boomed from the end of the room "what can I do for you?!". A man next to us said "these two were caught breaking into government property". "We're they?" The man at the end of the table asked. He gestured for us to sit at the table and we sat down awkwardly. He pointed at me and said "explain what happened and what caused you to do it". "Sir, he can't speak, he's mute" Charlotte said quickly. "I see, well! You explain!" He bellowed at Charlotte. Charlotte gave a recount of the events both before and during the heist. The man scratched his chin when Charlotte finished. "Who told you to steal the crystal?". "We received a call from an anonymous person. Whoever they were threatened us and told us to get the crystal and bring it to a small dark alleyway in the middle of the city at 9:00 tonight" Charlotte said with fear in her voice. "How did he threaten you?" The man pushed on. "He said that he would kill the person that we loved most in the world" Charlotte said, shaking with fear. "May I ask who that person is?" The man asked. Charlotte looked at me and blinked slowly. "The person that I love most is the person that I grew up with. My best friend and the best guy I know. Peter, the guy sitting next to me". My eyes widened in shock, sh- she had a crush on me?! The man handed me a pad of paper and told me to write down my thoughts. I wrote one word, Charlotte. The man grunted and pulled out a thick file. Charlotte was looking at me and blushing. I could tell she wanted to say something. "You two stay here, I must get another file from my office, don't cause any trouble" the man said and left the room. As soon as he left I met face to face with Charlotte. She leaned closer to me and pressed her lips against mine. My brain went into overdrive and I couldn't focus on anything. She pulled away from me and giggled nervously. I wish I could speak right now. Tell her how much I loved her, tell her about everything. She whispered quietly in my ear "I love you". I blushed and sat back in my chair. The man came back in and sat in his chair. "We have gathered information of thefts that have happened over the last six months. They often involve two teenagers with excellent breaking in skills. They have by-passed many different security systems, and heaps of people have been hurt. We know of your activities Charlotte and Peter. We have been watching you for a long time. Technically, we should throw you into jail for a few years, but we decided to give a different form of discipline. We are sending you on an information mission. That doesn't sound that bad, but it will be hard. You're going to be breaking into a Russian military facility" the man said. "WHAT!? That's basically a suicide mission!" Charlotte protested. The man said "it's that or jail, security footage just reported that you guys would rather be together than separate. Look, I'm doing you a favour, the rest of the leaders here want you put into jail, I think that you guys would be great at doing the right thing. Genius people that should have been building space ships capable of inter galactic travel, ended up making missiles that would kill thousands of people before they could be detected. You guys have talent, you just need to put it to good use. With this information, we could stop a war. And, on top of that, we can pay you way more than any private employer. So, are you going to be cooperative? Or do you want to spend a decade in jail? If you want to think about it, I'll give you an hour. I nodded to Charlotte and she said, "we'll do this, under one condition. Once we're done, you get the best surgeons and researchers from all over the planet to fix Peter. He wants a voice, so you guys need to give him one". The man frowned and looked at us. "Deal" he said and held out his hand. We shook it and he said "some guards will escort you to the armoury for a mission briefing and some gear. Please try to be nice to everyone" and with that, he left the room.

Ok! *cracks knuckles* lets do this people! I'm ready to write an awesome story! Peter and Charlotte are gonna finish this mission like absolute bosses. It's time that I write an action scene. The next chapter will be action. I promise. Thanks for your support and votes and comments. And as always
