Spy School Mission Accomplished [OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 3 Operation Pt. 2

This is part 2 of the operation. Enjoy!

Ben's POV

Operation Steadfast Snake was in Hawaii. Honolulu to be exact. The coordinates were 21° N, 157° W. But for now, it was time to become Erica's boyfriend.

The mission starts as us being very rich but has not met. We then meet at the party and hit it off. After that, we have to find a way to get close to Mitchell Burrows. Mitchell is an arms dealer planning to sell some very high-quality weapons at the party. we need to find those weapons and destroy them before the public gets them because if they do the world will be a disaster. 

I have been noticing that Erica is almost thawed but around me only so I decided to call her to my lavish hotel room. I shut the door so no one could hear us. She started to drop her guard around me.

"Ben what are you doing?" she asked. She was letting some emotion into her voice.

"Good," I thought.  "Since we will be 'together' on this mission I think maybe we should establish some code words that we could disguise in this mission," I said "In case anything goes wrong" I added quickly.

"Good idea," she said, then she smiled. 

I felt really happy and I smiled back. After about 15 minutes she said this.

"Ben?" she asked. 

"Yes?" I replied.

"Wh-" she was cut off by Jawa coming in. 

"Hey guys, Catherine wants you to come to her room to discuss mission details," he said.

"Tell mom we will be there in 10 Ben and I are seeing what we can figure out from Mitchell Burrows's past," Erica told him.

"OK. Good luck!" Jawa said then left.

"You were saying," I asked her.

"Right. Why do you like me and not Zoe?" She asked.

I was completely caught off guard by that question.

"Um...well...erm...uh...I-I really don't know. Well you are like the MOST talented spy ever well besides Cyrus and you are very pretty but so is Zoe and she is friendly but you, you have something about you I can't put my finger on and it makes me draw toward you. The way that Zoe used my friendship with you to get that position with DADD I just didn't like it. (Ok let's say Zoe is taking a break from DADD to be on this mission.) Well yes, you have used me but that was always for the good of the mission. And one other thing. Do you remember Operation Golden Fist in Vail?" I said

"Yes. What of it?" she replied 

"That chairlift right before Dane was shooting there was a conversation on it. Between you and Zoe." 

"No there wasn't," she said

"We were wearing the same ski parkas as when we had radio transmitters and I heard you liked me. Not how much I like you but enough to get jealous of Jessica Shang for hugging me. Then you kissed me. The best moments of my life. I don't know why but Mike and Zoe are perfect." I continued

"You heard that!" she shrieked.

"Yes," I said," Erica do you li-"

"We shouldn't keep Catherine waiting," She interrupted

"Yeah"

She didn't answer my question but I had a distinct knowledge of what it was going to be.

Erica's POV

"Erica do you li-" Ben started.

Oh no! He is going to ask me if I like him.

"We shouldn't keep Catherine waiting," I interrupted

"Yeah"

Phew glad I didn't have to answer that. He was looking at me with a flicker of a smile. I had a feeling my emotions would get in the way of this mission. And boy was I wrong.

A/N: I don't know if you guys feel this too but I get sooooo mad when Stuart Gibbs comes so close to writing a berica moment and then nope. I am just like: GIVE US SOME BERICA!!

Ok enough of my ranting. I hope you guys are all doing well and staying safe! Feel free to comment with any suggestions you might have! 

Thank you all!
