Spy School Reunited

Hello Again

Bens P.O.V
My name is Ben Ripley and I work for the CIA as a field agent. I had just got back from a mission and was now looking forward to just relaxing but I really couldn't today was my mom's birthday, if she didn't die 7 years ago.

Every time I thought about my parents that one day pops into my head, July 22. I could not escape it or leave it behind, for the past three years tonight I always relive that day in my dreams. I miss them, I miss Erica. Erica was my best friend at spy school we went on many missions together and I missed talking to her she would always brighten my day even if it was something bad.

Even though we only talked once a month and on missions, it was still nice to see her. The last two years of spy school were the worst because nothing happened without her I was very sad at the time and the only thing that would make me feel better was to study and practice fighting.

After the first year of training, I was doing better than ever had in the school but Erica was missing. Nothing mattered anymore my parents were gone Mike, Zoe, Chip, and Jawa were the only ones there for me and Zoe was pretty mad at me for dumping her, and Jawa and Chip slowly joined a more popular group. Then my life just became like how my old school was board out of my mind and my only friend was Mike still as popular as ever. At my graduation no one was there, not Erica, not my friends.

That brings me to today I was doing nothing just waiting for something until I saw something an anonymous name had texted me a phone number I looked at it and it was a random number. I stared at it unsure what to do, so I sat there board out of my mind.

Twenty minutes later I decided to call it what was there to lose? The phone rung someone picked up and I was so suppressed by the voice I nearly fainted

"Hello?" She said. (Wink wink)

"Erica?!"

"Ben?"

"Is that you?"

"Is it you?!?!"

"How did you get this number?!" I screamed out of joy.

"I dialed my mom's number!" She said excitedly, questioning what had just happened.

"But how..." my voice trained off I was feeling so many emotions I was happy and questioning how it happened. My day just got 100 times better!

"I don't know..." her voice trailed off leaving us in awkward silence.

"Where are you?" I said breaking the silence

She replied, "Tennessee, where are you?"

"Washington," I said. In another silence, I just waited for her to say something.

"Ben, why didn't you respond to my texts?"

I what I thought? She didn't respond to my texts!

"What do you mean?" I said. "I texted you every day of the year when you were gone!"

"No, I did!" She said her voice was slowly increasing in volume.

"But... but... I did! You responded for like the first few days but then you just stopped!" I said heartbroken on the inside I try not to show it in my voice but it was seeping through

"Oh, Ben I'm so sorry... I... the first mission I was on outside of spy school I was locked inside of a room with a ticking bomb again and.. and.. well I had to use some of the parts from my phone to reprogram it (Unrealistic but I'm too lazy to come up with another excuse)and well I just didn't remember your number and... and... I wanted to see you but it was a month after the mission was over and I just... felt insecure about leaving you and when I finally gathered up my courage I tried so hard to remember your number but I couldn't. And... and... well I just..."

I cut her off "It's okay you've said enough" What did I just say? Why am I so calm? What's happening to me do I miss her? Was it her fault? All of a sudden I couldn't feel my legs and I fell over.

"Ben are you ok?" She must have heard me fall

Crap now I looked like a dork!

"Uh yeah sorry dropped my phone I said the way too quickly"

"Sure," she said sarcastically

Crap again my mind was racing. Did she know I fell? Do I look stupid? What is happening? "What time is it?" I didn't mean to say it out loud but my thoughts were carrying me away from reality!

"Uh, Ben is this really you," she said?

"Yes," I said fast and loudly

"What's 2748•468," she said I could practically feel one of her eyebrows move up.

"1,286,064," I said quickly again

I heard some tapping on her calculator.

"Correct," she said sounding satisfied.

"Sorry," I said "I'm just a little on edge if you will. We haven't talked in like years... my voice drifted off" she seemed to be the same way.

I couldn't take the pain anymore so I asked "Why were you calling your mom?"

She seemed a little embarrassed "Actually I was trying to get in contact with you." After that statement, I could hear her blush from the other end of the call,

"Why," I said unable to contain my joy and curiosity!

"Well Ben there's a new evil organization in town"

"What's the name?" I said a little sadly wishing for her to have called for a different reason.

"By the way, I know you wanted me to call for a different reason" My muscles tensed it was pretty obvious but I was still pretty mad

"Anyways the name is GOLM," She said

Then I heard a smash in her end

"Oh crap" "Meet at the burrow I have to go"

And with that, she hung up as I heard a gunshot.
