The Killing Of Agent Hart

Maya -

Ahh Saturday! I smile warmly to myself as I wake up in the morning. I did my routine of showering, coffee and getting dressed. My watch on my wrist buzzed catching my attention. It was an address about 20 minutes away. I furrowed my eyebrows, Mr Lopez said I didn't have any missions today

I get on my bike and speed to the address given to me. When I pulled up outside the city wasn't in sight. All there was was a huge field with a warehouse in the middle. I get off my bike and walk to the warehouse, making sure to switch to my spy suit.

Entering the warehouse it was dark nothing but the bit fans in the ceiling creating the smallest bit of light. I get to know my surroundings, there was a second floor but the path was only around the edge, I could see the roof from my floor

"what am I even looking for" I mumble aimlessly clicking around in my heeled boots. A small shuffle is heard from behind me and the hairs on my neck instantly stand up. "Hands up" the deep voice said. I slowly turned around, my hands in the air. I squinted my eyes while turning, before opening them in front of the man Pointing a gun at me

I suck in a deep breath "L-Lucas what are you doing?" I stutter, a tear falling from my eye. Cursing at myself for not knowing better. "I have to kill you" He states with no emotion "No-no you don't just put the gun down" I reason "how do I know you aren't gonna kill me" he replies "I didn't even bring anything with me see" I reply turning around slowly, my arms still in the air, so he can see no weapon attached to me

He drops the gun slightly and I sigh in relief  "Lucas why are you doing this?" I question "because your gonna kill my family. I saw the contract maya" He replied, putting the gun on safety discretely as if I couldn't see "what contract are you talking about I haven't signed anything!" I protest, furrowing my eyebrows again.

He pulls out a piece of paper and holds it out. I roll my eyes and walk over to collect the paper. "Lucas this is fake" I state nonchalantly "I have never signed to kill your family! This isn't even my signature!" I stomp, throwing it back to him "My boss showed it to me!" he tried to reason

"Lucas I've been assigned the same thing! To kill you! But Fuck a contract if I don't want to kill you, I won't!" I state throwing my hands up. He sighs slightly and rubs a hand across his head "I'm sorry Maya..I should've known better" he replied, putting the gun in it's holder

"You should've killed her boy!" A old man demands from above us, coming down the stairs, Mr Strayer. "Maya get behind me!" Lucas demands, I quickly comply considering he's the one with a gun and hold onto his arm behind him in fear "I'm not going to kill her sir" Lucas stated

"Well maybe this will tempt you?" He laughs evilly, turning the lights on to reveal the Matthews family tied up together in a corner. They panic, each wriggling to try and get out of their ropes and release the duct tape over their mouth.

I ran over to Riley pulling my watch off my wrist "Riley you need to tap the watch six times and write the letters H E L P on the screen. Do you understand" I whisper shout to her, she nods and I get up heading back over to Lucas before mr strayer could protest.

"Why do you want me dead so bad?" I ask, another tear let loose. "Because without you your dad will be out for a few months grieving, giving me the opportunity to take over and turn the company evil" he said evilly "but there's already a dark spy agency why don't you just work for that side. Work with her not against her" Lucas reasoned.

"Because I wouldn't Be in charge. And anyway that Mr Lopez is too much of a good guy to want her dead" Mr strayer replied "So who's gonna die" he grinned evilly. Josh came down the stairs behind him, a loaded gun in his hand.

The Matthews behind us grunted and panicked in distress when their own family member sided with him. Josh pointed the gun at me "eeny" he stated, he moved the gun to Lucas "meeny", then to the Matthews "miney", then back to me, "die" he said with an cold smile

A loud bang shot through the air, a sharp pain in my chest grew before we could comprehend what was going on. My body twisted from impact, landing on the cold hard floor facing a crying family and my balling best friend "NO!" Lucas' muffled shout was heard through the warehouse

My body shook from pain, everything moved slowly. Lucas turned my head to face him, tears pouring ferociously from his eyes "you've gotta stay with me Maya. You can't go" he cried "I'm so stupid for getting you in this mess" he added. My eyes fluttered and the view of him faded before I could move.

Lucas -

I got up from her, furious. Mr Strayer and Josh stood there with a disgusting look on their faces. They looked proud, happy even. I looked back to the still girl on the floor, a puddle of blood collecting underneath her.

The doors to the warehouse flew open with police, agents and many people coming in. "Everyone hands up" Someone shouted. Mr Strayer, Josh and I did as told. Shawn and Mr Lopez came through with the crowd. Shawn heading straight over to Mr strayer, not noticing Maya.

Mr Lopez came over to where I was standing "Nonononono" he panicked, kneeling down to Maya "Mr hunter" He called. Shawn turned his attention to us, running when he saw the familiar blonde on the floor. "There's no pulse sir" I whispered. They both looked up to me. Standing away from Maya

"Make sure those two get arrested. I'm taking her to the agency" Shawn hurried Mr Lopez off. My parents and silblings who were untied by police came over "Help me get her in the car" Shawn said to my parents, picking up her legs and arms to carry maya away. Riley and I stood there crying into each other, little auggie by our side.

I let go of them and walked over to meet Mr Lopez who had found some handcuffs from the police "Joshua Matthews you are under arrest for the murder of Maya Hart. You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can and will be used against you in cournt" He said, cuffing his hands and pushing him toward an officer who took him away in a car

"And you. Don Strayer you are under arrest for intention of murder against Maya Hart and multiple counts of felony" he said arresting Mr Strayer who was protesting the whole time.

Mr Lopez turned to me, "you my friend, technically, had intention of murder. But because of the circumstances and the situation, being forced to do it. We have put you down as being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The agency will cover you" he said kindly "Now go to headquarters. See what they do with maya" he assured

Riley, auggie and I got in my car and headed to the NYLLS headquarters. "F-Farkle" Riley cried on the phone "M-Mayas dead. Y-you need to get Zay to come to Lucas's Agency now! P-Please" she continued before hanging up. I speed up the car hoping to get there quicker.
