VERACITY

I'm stronger than I look.

The next day it took longer to reach the school than usual. Since we shifted further away from the school, I would be picked first and then the rest would follow. Adania didn't join the bus ride again and although it was none of my concern, I felt a pinchof fear. What if she's not okay?  I thought about all the possible dangers she could face on the ride to school but pushed all of it aside when we reached there. Today is an important day I can't mess it up thinking about some unrealted human being who has mothers eyes.

We had planned to carry out the mission today over the break so that's exactly how we would do it.  The minute the break bell rang I sprinted down the stairs and met the girls behind the school. They were all looking in my direction when I materialised in front of them,  waiting for directions. I started giving out the maps and plans that I had drawn the last few days and began the speech.  " now listen up girls we may be highly qualified agents but that does not mean this will be easy.  Those men are twice our size but we are smarter, don't fight unless they initiate it. If they start getting suspicious retreat and join your peers and we can continue that part of the mission tomorrow. Am I understood? " . I finish looking at all of them with a straight face. They all nod their heads, all except molly who looks at me like I have two heads. " what", I ask her Folding my hands across my chest. "I'm suprised that you showed how bossy you are after all this time. You lasted quite long chika" she smirks making the other girls snicker beside her. I roll my eyes at them and walk away yelling behind me, " don't mess this up."

I walk cautiously towards the front office, running the plan over again in my head. The two sisters will head to the washroom closest to the fire alarm and will switch it on five minutes into the lesson after the break. Molly and Gianna will head over to the staff room ensuring no teacher takes the stairs leading directly to the front office by starting a mini fire that they will ensure does not get of hand. While I will try and get the head staff out of the office to leave just the men. Which we plan on dealing with together as lost new girls.

I reach the front office just as the bell rings signalling the end of the break I duck behind the flower pot on the side just as the head teacher walks out of the office and to her car.  I smile more so to myself, one less person to deal with. Once her car is out of sight I emerge and walk up the stairs. without attracting any attention I head to the staff washroom and wait for the girls to ring the bell. Exactly five minutes later I hear the fire bell and distant screaming as students run to assemble at the firepoint. I take this as my cue and emerge from the bathroom opening every door in the office and throwing a mini smoke bomb. I effectively do that in all offices clearing the main office. Unsurprisingly the last office remains packed with men. One of them stand up and move to lock the door, I run up and stick my foot in to door putting on my best innocent face as I look up at him.

The man looks down at me with a scowl automatically calling my bluff. He opens the door a little wider and shoves me in, locking the door behind me. All the men stand and surround me making me feel trapped and helpless but I don't show. Instead I put on a scared teenager face and look at the men with innocent eyes.  I pull out an envelope that I had made prior, just in case, and hand it to them.
" The head teacher told me to give you this just before she left. She said it's important..." I mumble with a squeaky voice trying to look as uncomfortable as possible. The men raise their eyebrows and look at each other I take this opportunity to scan the room and find a door of some kind. The men look back at me and I immediately look down. As I do, I notice a small trap door under one of the desks.  That must be it!

I know by now the girls would be outside but unable to get in since the door is locked and since they are already suspicious it would be pointless to pursue the mission any further today. The men, after much deliberation and looks between themselves, let me go and close the door behind me again. 

I nod at the girls and begin walking out of the office to join the other kids.  The girls follow suit and we blend into the crowd just as the assembly is dismissed and the students are sent back to class. We don't get to talk again in school as the bus comes to pick the girls and Regen and Samuel come to get me. Although this occurance is kind of odd, I don't give it much thought.  After all it could just be part of the mission. To avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

We meet the girls again at the warehouse where we begin our weekly training. The fight starts of with Ahmed and molly. Although molly puts up a good fight she's no match for Ahmed who's large and bulky and uses most of his weight to pin her down. Their fight lasts about ten minutes with Molly bleeding from a gash on her forehead and Ahmed sweating from head to toe.  That's what late night nachos does to a person.

Regen calls my name next and I walk up to the mat, relaxing my muscles and getting into my fighting stance. I wait for my opponent who had to be miss insomniac, but I see Samuel walking up to me. " I'll be fighting you today, no questions "  he says removing his shoes and stepping onto the mat. I arch my eye brows wondering why he wants to fight me. Usually mission superiors don't train with the rest of the agents, unless they want to prove a point.  So what does he want to prove? That he's stronger than me?  Or I'm as weak as I look. I push my thoughts aside and try to focus on the fight. I've never seen Samuel fight before so I don't have a strategy to beat him.

Samuel lunges towards me and I think he's going to punch me, I lift my hands to protect my upper half but he sticks out his leg and trips me to the ground. I quickly stand up to avoid giving him a chance to take advantage of my venerable position. I look at his stance and notice that he is going to try confusing me again by looking like he's going to do one thing but will Infact do the opposite. Samuel lifts his leg up just as his hand moves towards my face, he's using more force to bring his leg up than he is on the hand coming to my face. I duck avoiding his hand and slide my leg to push his other foot out making him fall  to the ground with a thud.  I press my leg on his lower back to keep him on the ground and grab his free hand and pin it hard near my leg making him grit his teeth in pain.
He uses his other hand to lift himself off the ground making me fall backwards onto the mat.  I see annoyance on his face as he lifts his leg and continuously kicks my side. I grind my teeth in pain as tears prick my eyes. I pull his leg towards me as he tries to put in another kick making him stumble slightly. He regains his posture and brings his fist straight to my ribs, making me yelp in pain as I clutch my side and ball up on the mat.  The pain doesn't cover the anger I feel for that brainless inhuman human being.  I stand up and clutch his shirt and pull him down as he walks away. When he's on the ground I slam my knee into his side digging it deep into the bruise that I had made a few minutes ago. I turn my knee so it's now straining his rib cage,  and push down. Hearing an audible crunch of his ribs,  satisfied with the results I stand up and growl at his weak form below me. " never take advantage of my size ever again. Next time I'll leave you with more than broken ribs", I grit through my teeth and walk out of the ware house indicating the girls should follow me to talk about what happened today and what to do next.
