Breaking and Entering

Arielle’s POV

I pulled into the garage of my house and got out of the car.

I locked it making sure it beeped and headed inside.

Dropping my keys on the counter I went into the kitchen to find something to eat; instead what I found was a package on the counter. This immediately put me on my guard.

My suspicion heightened when my cell phone started ringing.

I answered it; "Hello"

"Don't be alarmed Arielle." I breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of Bryce’s voice and the screen that popped up on my screen saying that it truly was Bryce.

"You don't expect me to freak out when there is a mysterious package on my kitchen counter that wasn't there this morning?" I asked still a little angry.

"Don't worry; it's just some upgrades we thought you should have." He told me, trying to calm me down.

I slowly went over to the box, taking my time. I heard Bryce sigh on the other line.

"Arielle, just open it." He sighed.

Still uneasy I opened the box; and found that the contents were disappointingly not as dramatic as I had hoped.

I pulled out a shiny silver cell phone that was as thin as a piece of cardboard and the size of a credit card.

"The phone that you just pulled out is the absolute latest technology that the Academy whipped up; in fact you're the first person to get one. This one not only makes you scan your finger to turn it on, but you also have to put in your agent ID number. We thought that your old phone lacked security that you may need during this mission." He said while I examined the new phone.

"It's indestructible, completely touch screen and has faster internet than a super computer." He continued, obviously excited about the new product.

"Oh and it also includes something special for this case. It has a built in GPS tracker system that allows you to find out where three microchips are located on a pull up screen. This way you can keep track of your person at all times without them knowing it."

"Awesome" I said only slightly sarcastically, it was actually pretty cool.

"Now, the other thing in the box." He said, "It's a new security system for you to install in your weapons room. We felt that your security was not good enough and if someone were to get a hold of those, you would not be in a good position. It's similar to your new phone's security but also involves a body scan"

I nodded but then remembered that he couldn't see me and said; "Alright, I'll install it ASAP."

"Good and one more thing Arielle. We have no idea who exactly is out there that is working against us. So in order to make sure that everything goes okay, we stationed someone from the Academy in Port Angeles. They're close enough to help you if you're in need back up. There is a button on the back of your phone that you will see if you take off what looks like a battery cover." He told me.

I did what he instructed by taking off the back part of the silver phone, and saw a red button that said PUSH IN EMERGENCY.

"By pushing this button, the agent that is stationed in Port Angeles will be alerted and immediately come to help you. It is very important that you do not press it by accident."

"Alright, I'll be careful. So, how am I supposed to get these microchips on Adam?" I asked, examining the three tiny chips that were in the box.

He just laughed and said; "I'm sure you'll figure something out Arielle."
