Thirty Two

Feranmi watched as Seth strolled out of the room. She bit her lower lip without a word as she stared at the closed door.

"He's still a jerk, can't even keep a girl company?" Feranmi muttered.

"I can keep you company" Feranmi heard a voice in her head and she sat up startled.

"Captain Eyes?" Feranmi asked doubtfully.

"Where the hell are you?" Feranmi asked.

"In your head sweetie" Eyes replied as Feranmi frowned.

"Don't pull your eyebrows in such an ugly way" Eyes said as Feranmi scoffed.

"You can see me as well?" She asked.

"I kinda have super powers yunno, like power rangers" Eyes replied.

"Its not funny" Feranmi said as she heard a groan in her head.

"That hurt. How can you say such mean words?" Eyes asked.

"Mean?" Feranmi asked.

"Nevermind" Eyes replied as Feranmi started eating.

"You are in what camp?" Feranmi asked.

"No camp" Eyes replied.

"No camp?" Feranmi asked.

"Yeah. No camp" Eyes replied.

"You are captain of what then? Captain just in name? I know your type of Captain, the ones who laze around and push the work to the junior ones shey?" Feranmi asked.

"I'm offended" Eyes replied and Feranmi noticed that his tone came out cold.

She chuckled "That hit the spot shey? Stop lazing around and get something doing" Feranmi said as Eyes chuckled.

"I decided to keep you company on your captain's instructions, why are you taking it out on me because he refused to keep you company?" Eyes asked and Feranmi choked on her food.

"Captain Pentecost asked you to keep me company?" Feranmi asked.

By the time Feranmi woke up, it was almost afternoon. The warmer on the table had been replaced with another and Feranmi was surprised.

Apart from the day that they had requested that her food be kept, the dining team never bothered with people's food.

Feranmi stand down happily and ate before strolling to the kitchen. She smiled at the agent as she gave the agent the warmer.

"Agent 14, please stay; it would soon be time for afternoon food" the agent said as Feranmi smiled while shaking her head.

"I'm pretty much full already" Feranmi replied as another agent walked towards her and held her hand firmly.

"Don't worry, we'll keep your food light; you can't miss it"

Feranmi looked at them bewildered at their attitude. She had no choice but to seat in the dining and eat. She looked around curiously.

She hadn't been in the dining hall for a while. Feranmi checked her wristwatch as she dropped her tray and walked to the close combat department.

She planned to train till night fell. If only she knew.
Feranmi picked her gun from the table and cocked. Ignoring the stares her way; she placed her hand on the scanner and set the time to five minutes.

She had to clear out the crazy robots in five minutes. Feeling full she grinned, raised the gun up and walked steadily inside.

A bulletarrow shot at her and Feranmi narrowly missed it as she started shooting. She suddenly felt immense pain on her shoulder and she found a bulletarrow in her hand.

Feranmi gritted her teeth as she continued shooting, the pain in her shoulder overbearing. Her left leg gave way as another bulletarrow hit it and Feranmi cursed loudly as she hid behind a pillar.

If this was real combat, she would have probably fainted after getting shot in her shoulder and leg. Feranmi angled her gun and started shooting sporadically.

After about ten minutes, she was able to clear the room. She slumped to the floor as she heaved a sigh. She still had a long way to go. She got almost immediately and asked someone outside to reset the time for her.

Few agents gathered around and watched as Feranmi practiced. She did not take a single break despite the beads of sweats running down her neck into her uniform.

Feranmi moved around steadily as she shot at the robots. The lights suddenly came on and the robots deactivated. Feranmi walked outside in fury.

"Who turned it off?" Feranmi asked as she glared at the agents. She had used more than three minutes without getting shot, just as she was thinking she could make it to five minutes without getting shot, they turned it off.

An extremely handsome guy walked up to Feranmi  while folding his hands.

"Why? I asked them to" He said and Feranmi swallowed her saliva.

The NSTS wasn't an organization, it was a beehive of fine guys!

"Why? I was about to break a record!" Feranmi asked trying to sound cool.

"Really?" The guy asked with a raised eyebrow at her.

"Who are you by the way?" Feranmi asked.

"From now on, you can't spend any more than six hours in that room" the guy said as Feranmi's eyes widened.

"Huh? Why?" Feranmi asked.

"What's the meaning of all these? I spend eight, nine, freaking ten hours here before. What's the problem?" Feranmi asked with a cold tone and the guy frowned immediately.

"Agent 14, if I were you, I would mind the way I talked to my superiors, Just because others took it doesn't mean I will take it" the guy said as Feranmi's eyes narrowed.

"Who are you?" Feranmi asked.

"Throw her out" the guy said as he turned to walk away. Feranmi's eyes narrowed dangerously as she struck out her palm at the guy's back.

Suddenly the guy disappeared and Feranmi felt a kick on her back. She lost balance as she felt herself falling. She quickly picked herself and used on of her legs as support before swinging the other leg backwards.

The guy caught her leg before flinging it away making Feranmi to lose her balance again. Before she could try to catch herself again; she lost her balance and landed on the floor.

She winced in pain as she rubbed her elbow. She sat up and looked at the guy in shock. His clothes were barely rumpled. It didn't even look like he just fought someone at all.

"You! Who...... Who are you?" Feranmi asked again as the guy glanced at her and sighed.

"Thanks for getting me into trouble. Since you already got me into trouble, there's no big deal adding to the trouble. Throw her out" the guy said and walked away rubbing his forehead.

"I'm so dead" he murmured to himself.
