i walked back home the night with a plan, a phone number, and most importantly, an ally.

when i got back to the pit i checked the time.

3:33 am

i quietly snuck back into the house and safely got back to my room. i could now get ready for bed and start to get some real rest.

-

"alex wake up its time to go" max says shaking me awake.

"go where" i said groggily.

"we have to meet down at the pit blaine in assessing and assigning missions hurry up." max gets up off the bed after warning me.

i quickly throw on black ripped jeans and a navy blue hoodie.

after finishing getting presentable, my feet carried me down the stairs and into the pit.

"alright now that everyone is here, i have a lot to say so listen up. today is the start of carrying out a master plan. i'll let you know more the closer we get, but all you need to know is from now on everything you do counts." blaine starts. oh good lord.

blaine starts calling people's names giving them their plans for the day. i kind of block him out until i hear my name.

"alex. you have one of the most important jobs. your the newest recruit, plus your unseen, unknown by every gang out there. i need you to do some serious surveillance and if you have to converse. get what information we need." he hands me an envelope and i take it from his hands carefully.

"you will go alone and relay every piece of information you get back to me personally." he says. my eyes go wide and people start to look at me.

"o-okay." i say still stunned.

"i trust you have basic gun training and fight training?" he asks me.

"yes" i say. blaine nods his head and opens his mouth again.

"any resources you need we can accommodate. if you do well and get us some good information, you will earn your 3rd stripe." he says smiling evilly.

my jaw internally DROPS. others literally. i went from a one stripe to a maybe three in less than 3 days. never done before. i nod my head.

"no one is allowed to see that envelope nor go with you. this mission requires secrecy. got it?" he asks me and turning to everyone.

me all nod our heads and he continues handing out orders. once he's done and everyone gets released, max and athena catch up with me.

"what just happened?" max asked.

"i have no clue." i said just as confused.

i talked with max and athena before being ordered to go.

-

blaine ordered me to find a sign of where the wranglers could be. in the envelope, there was bits and pieces of information that other members had collected. he wants me to try and put them together.

i'm still confused at the why he's suddenly putting so much trust and information on me, but this is the perfect opportunity.

the paper in the envelope read:

- grayson alive? possible sighting in midtown?
- black car ethan, aaron, unknown. possibly grayson.
- house in midtown?
- possible plans of attack?

they were mostly questions and guesses. i'm guessing i have to find the answers to these questions.

but i don't need to find what i already know. i get out my phone and text ethan on the private server he gave me. he wants to keep this down low from the wranglers as well.

me- we need to talk.

i waited for a response while heading out the door. once i made it out i took proper precautions, making sure i wasn't being followed before taking a shortcut.

i feel my phone buzz and i stop walking. i pluck my phone out of my hoodie pocket and unlock it.

ethan- when.

me- now.
me- it's important.

ethan- go to the alley. be there in 10.

me- ok.

i continue walking until i spot the alley where i met ethan last. i carefully walk into the alley and wait for ethan.

-

"you wanted to talk?" i heard a male voice speak. i look up from my phone and cleared my throat. my hand slipped my phone back into my hoodie pocket.

i pulled the envelope out of my back pocket and handed it to him. he locked at me quizzically before taking it and flipping it open.

"blaine gave me this and told me to get information. he thinks that because i'm unknown i have a better chances at laying low. i know all the answers the the questions on that paper but why is he asking?" i ask.

"well he's obviously planning something.....we need to find answers for you to put in place of the truth." he says handing me the letter back.

"okay...then what? he's asking for an address ethan. if i give him a fake one he's gonna know." i said.

"no we'll give him the old houses address. we're currently moving out of there as we speak, but i'll get a couple of wranglers to cover the place incase blaine comes by. i don't thinks he's gonna just attack out of no where. he's much smarter than that." ethan explains, basically thinking out loud.

"okay so once we give him the false information, i'll find out more of his angle. he said he's upgrading me if i do well which is the opposite of what i wanted but it can help our plan. i'll get my 3rd stripe and be included in the plans." i grab my phone and go to notes.

ethan gives me the address and fake, but believable, information to relay back to blaine.

"we can meet up again when you have more information. as of now lay. low." he says the last part extremely seriously. never seen a single emotion except for anger out of him.

"duh" i say walking out.

i leave the alley from the other side so that it doesn't look like i met with ethan. incase we were being watched.

-

my hand presses the small buttons on the key pad and entered the code to get into the pit. i twist the knob and enter.

as soon as i do, people look at me and stare.

"what?" i ask confused and slightly offended.

"blaine wants to see you in his office." two of the four stripes said.

oh boy. here goes nothing.
