Spy School: Operation Golden Hawk

Chapter 10

Hey, I'm back. Sorry, I said I would update last week, but I am busy. The answer to the trivia question is "It's complicated." Enjoy chapter 10!

"Ben, what is it?" Erica asked me as I ran out of the room. When I arrived at the cockpit, I found Alexander flying it. "Alexander, turn the plane around. We need to get back to America." I told him. "Sure thing, Benjamin. I just need to ask why." He said as he was turning the plane around. "Please just trust me. It's a long story." I told him, and ran back to my room with Erica. "Ben, what is it?" She asked and I began pacing around. "Why would Joshua leave the note Cyrus supposedly left us lying around for us to find? And why would he give us the key to block the bomb? It seems like he left a lot of loose ends, and he hates leaving loose ends." I finished, and pulled out the note Joshua left with the bomb and the one Cyrus left for us. "Erica, do you have a fingerprint scanner?" I asked her, as and she pulled it out.

There was the same fingerprint on both notes.

"Wow." Erica said and turned to me. "You were right. Great job, Ben!" She said, but I didn't let myself celebrate yet. "We still have to thwart them, and I now exactly where they are launching the missiles. We need to get to DC." I told Erica, and she nodded. I fell back onto the bed, and Erica came up next to me. "That felt like a detective show, the way you pulled all of that out of nowhere." She said, and kissed me. At the point the plane started moving somewhere around 5000 mph, and we were blown into the wall. The bedsheets protected us, but we were sore. Zoe and Mike screamed from the next room, and I forgot they were still sleeping.

"What the hell is going on!" Mike yelled as he came in. We had adjusted to the sudden increase in velocity of the jet, but Mike and Zoe weren't happy. "We're going back to the states. To make a long story short, we got played and Ben figured out the tricks." Erica told them, and beamed at me proudly. "Good job." Zoe said, and sat in a chair. "Yeah, maybe just wait to go all Shawn Spencer on us until we are awake." Mike winked and stuck put his hand on the side of his head. Zoe and Erica looked at us like we were idiots, and I frowned. "You've never seen Psych?" I asked, and they shook their heads. "We will be arriving in the states shortly. Hold on!" Alexander yelled at us, and we braced for impact.

As we landed, some guy came up to us. "Exuse me, but you have violated about 3 dozen safety protocols, and-" I cut him off. "Its important that we get out of here, so move or I will knock you out." I demanded, and he stalked away like a steaming kettle. "Come on guys, time to move." I said, and ran toward the exit. Everyone followed me, and a black car came to the front as we walked out, and Chip, Jawa, and  Hank got out. "Hey guys. We need to get to this adress pronto." I gave Hank a slip of paper. He glanced at, and pocketed it. "Get in." He said.

"How did you guys know we were coming?" I asked them, and Jawa answered. "Erica called us and told us to meet us here." He replied, and I looked at Erica. "Hey, friends can be assist. I learned that from the best." She smiled at me. "Ok, so, once we get to wherever we are going, what's the plan?" Chip asked, and we all took turns filling Chip and Kawa in on what our current situation was. "The missles go off at around 10PM, so we have just over three hours." I said, and we got ready.

After stopping for dinner at McDonald's, we arrived at the building. It looked abandoned, but I took that as a good sign. "Ok, we just have to find the missles and reprogram them." I said, and we started to enter the building before Zoe noticed a faint laser alarm across the the doors. "We can only get to people in." She said, and everyone looked at me and Erica. "Ok, fine." I said, and we artfully avoided the lasers and went into the door. Before we could dismantle the system, someone seditated me and her.

We woke up in a dark room, tied to a pole and stripped to our underwear. "Ah, the jidiot has finally woken up." A voice said in the corner, and I sighed. "Ashely, what do you want with me this time?" I called out, and she came right up to me. "Well, I would have already killed you, but waited until you woke up so you could feel the pain." She said, and kissed me. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked her, and she smiled. "Getting what I should have gotten back at Hidden Forests." She said, and pulled out a knife. Instead of sticking it in my throat, she turned to Erica.

I thrashed against the pole, trying to get loose. I untied Erica right as Ashely would have killed her, but her body fell to the floor and the knife got stuck in the floor. "Oh, well, I'll just have to do this the old fashioned way." She said, and pulled out a gun. "I would kill you, but I still want something." She said, and untied me. Immediately after that, she tackled me and tied me to the ground. Then she got up and took off her spandex. "Ashley, I would rather die by eating acid and sliced into small cubes than do it with you." I said, and she laughed. "Well Ben, you're not calling the shots here, are you." She said, and got on top of me.

"Ashely, please. Just stop." I said, but she laughed again. "Why, you have a girlfriend?" She said, and began to take off her bra. Erica awoke, and knocked her unconscious. "Thanks. She was about to try and, well, I'll just say that she's still into me." I said, and she kissed me. "We gotta get out of here." I said, and she nodded. We untied each other and ran. There was a few bodyguards outside, and they turned to us. "Freeze!" They yelled, and we had to. Before they could shoot us, someone came down from the ceiling. After they knocked the guards out, he undid his mask.

And it was Cyrus Hale.

School is really taking over my time. I don't know how much longer this book will be, but probably not much more than 20. You guys are super supportive, and are the reason I'm not completely insane (yet). The trivia question for this chapter is how did Mike learn about cenote in SSGS? Bye!
