Secret Agent Teens: An Original Miller South Teens Story

Chapter 15: An Evening in New York City

At night, the Original Eighth Graders were having dinner at Gino's Pizzeria. They were having a conversation regarding the events from earlier.

"Two large pies on me," Finn declared as he leans back in his chair.

"You're really digging this new life, are you?" Mason asked.

"Well, when you're a secret agent, you have to take advantage of what the new life gives you."

"That depends if you have any money left," Bree remarked.

"Yeah, man," Kardierre added. "I mean, you guys aren't millionaires."

"Not millionaires...yet."

"Ah, so what?" Sam snarked. "Haven't you forgotten that we're a team? While we get to live in New York, you guys get to have all the fun while we stay cooped up in a hotel."

"Sam, we got the indoor pool, the spa, and they have free movies in the hotel theater on the weekends," Essence pointed out. "Not to mention that there are 30 different stores near Herald Square."

"Yeah, man," Kardierre agreed. "Mason wouldn't go to New York without bringing us. Plus, Dylan said he only wanted him and Finn and Lexi for the mission."

"Yeah, Sam. Don't hate us because we're popular," Lexi mocked.

Sam makes a face at Lexi, which prompts her to do the same.

"Alright. Alright! No faces at the table," Mason ordered.

"Sorry, 'dad,' " Lexi chuckles.

"So, you guys," Bree began. "Is it true this restaurant owner has a laser?"

"Yep," Mason answered. "And he's planning on using it on students our age."

"Not if we have anything to do with it," Finn remarks as he fist bumps Mason.

Kardierre stood up on his chair and raised his glass in the air. "A toast to our new agents!"

While the teens were cheering and toasting in agreement, Finn noticed the agents walking into the restaurant. He glanced at Xenna and smiled. She was dressed in a navy-blue lace skirt with a white tank top and a denim jacket. Finn thought she looked pretty. And this is coming from someone who was held a wrist gun point by her.

"Well, look who it is," he said as he got up from his seat.

"Hey, Dylan," Mason greeted.

"Any room for three more?"

"Actually, two more," Xenna corrected. "Thought I forgot our date?"

"Actually, I thought that you wouldn't care," Finn stated.

"Well, you thought wrong."

"Hey, wait," Mason called out. "First, you wanted to pay for the pizza. Now, you're bailing?"

"Oh, yeah. Let Dylan pay for it." He and Xenna walk out of the restaurant while Mason tried to call for him.

"Okay," he said. "You kids have fun, then." He walks back to the table and sits next to Lexi.

"Where's Finn?"

"Let's just say he has something important to do."

"Classic Finn," Bree remarks.

"Can you blame him?" Brian replies. "Ever since he met Xenna, he's been trying to impress her."

"Remind you of anyone, Mason?" Sam joked, causing the boys to chuckle.

"Hey. Hey, wait. I thought we were just eating pizza and talking about our mission."

"What's wrong, Mason? Don't wanna upset your girlfriend?"
