Nick's POV

"Nick, wake up," said Joe quietly, "We've gotta go." My eyes opened. The blurry scene of my room became more vivid.

"Why?" I asked still tired.

"We've got school," he said. My eyes popped open. I sat up. Joe was in the doorway laughing at my expression. I was waiting so long for school us to come back to school.

In case you don't know, my brothers and I are spies. We were previously sent on a mission to recover an agent from our allied agency. She was taken from a dangerous facility who tested on humans. Her name was Andie Bleaker. We wouldn't have made it out if it weren't for Kali, one of our closest friends. Since they would be looking for us, we had to hide. What we didn't know was that the facility had released something even more dangerous. Andie's sister took control of almost the entire town, including Joe and I. It took some time but everything turned out okay in the long run.

So where are we now? Well, Andie's sister is recovering from a lot of mind damage and should be back on her feet soon. Andie sees her a lot. She, Joe, Kevin, Kali, and I are on a huge break. We didn't get much help since the president of our agency quarantined the town. Claire and Peter, helpers in our mission are on leave as well. Oh, and Andie is my girlfriend. Her other boss, John hangs with us at school. He's not my favorite person since they're so close.

I quickly got out of bed. Joe laughed again.

"Someone's excited," he said.

"Yeah," I replied not even bothering to cover it. I haven't seen Andie in a few days now. She moved back with her mom and dad. Our parents are back on a business trip with our little brother, he's in training to be a Junior spy. Our parents trust us with everything so we're home alone a lot of times.

After I got dressed I went down the stairs of my house to meet my older brother Kevin in the kitchen.

"Hey," he said, "You ready?"

"Yeah," I said a little anxious. I was more than ready.

***

There it was… school. There were students everywhere. Kevin parked his car in a space and I quickly opened the door, stepping out. We were all greeted by Kali and Stella. Stella was a normal girl but she knew we were spies. It kind of unfolded when her parents tried to turn her into an evil teenager.

"Hey guys," said Kali, "I can't believe we're finally coming back to school."

"Yeah, me neither," said Kevin, "What do we say when people ask us why we were out of school for so long?" Did I mention no one remembers what happened except for us?

"Uh," said Stella, "We had a contagious disease but then we got better. Oh, and Andie and John moved for a few years then came back." I nodded. Stella always had ideas.

"Have you seen Andie?" I asked. Kali laughed and pointed behind her. I peered over at a black car, and of course there she was reaching for something. "I'll catch you guys later." I heard them all chuckle as I walked away towards her.

She didn't hear me come up behind her. I tried not to laugh as I bent by her ear.

"Did you lose something?" I asked. Andie jumped and turned around.

"Oh gosh," she said, "You scared me." She laughed her happy, angel-like laugh. I smiled at her. "I haven't seen you in forever… how's it going?"

"Pretty good," I said. Andie suddenly turned her head away from me and coughed. "But you don't seem so good."

"I'm fine," she said, "Really. I promise." I pulled her in a hug. "It's just a cold." I laughed.

"It's not that," I said pulling away and tracing the small and barely-visible scar on her jaw line, "I just missed you." Did I mention that Andie was tortured brutally for weeks and weeks?

"I missed you too," she said smiling. I leaned in to kiss her but she pulled away. "I can't get you sick." I didn't let her go as she tried to leave.

"I don't care," I said I kissed her on her scar, trying to make it go away forever.

Did I mention John was watching the whole thing?

Joe's POV

I was more than happy to be back at school, like a normal kid. What happened before was so bad that we all deserved a little break. I mean, we were just kids. Nick and Andie met up with the rest of us, followed by Claire, Peter, and John. We were like a family. We could tell each other things we couldn't tell an average person… like perhaps what happens in our spying agency.

"The bells about to ring," Kali said, "I gotta run."

"Wait what class do you have first?" asked Peter. Kali and Peter were pretty serious now. After the whole take over was done with they kind of kissed for ten minutes long. I don't know if they ever came up for air.

"I've got Home Ec." She said.

"Me too," said Claire. Peter sighed. He obviously didn't have it. Andie, Nick and I were off to Biology. I'm not sure how Nick and I got in this class. I mean Andie was super smart but us? I had trouble spelling Biology.

"It'll be fine," Andie said sensing my worry, "I'll be right there if you need help."

"Exactly," said Nick, "She's probably smarter than the teacher." Andie shook her head and laughed. Andie and Nick were the kind of thing I couldn't interfere with. I accepted that they were together and supported them. Besides, Andie was more like my sister.

We were about to walk in the classroom when Nick knocked someone over.

"Oh, let me help you with that," he said. I peered over him to see a pretty blonde girl trying to scramble up her books.

"Thanks," she said. They both stood up, "Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you around." She looked behind him and stared and Andie and I, "Or you two."

"Uh, no," said Nick, "We were really um, sick. Yeah, so we had to stay home for a long time. It was pretty contagious."

"Oh, so you're all related?" she asked.

"Well, not exactly," said Andie, "I mean, I'm not. Joe and Nick here are brothers." Nick nodded at the girl.

"Well it's nice to meet you all," she said, "I'm Jenn."

"I'm Nick. My brother is Joe, and this is my girlfriend Andie. Hey, you should sit with us."

"Are you sure? I mean I don't want to intrude," she said.

"Nonsense," said Andie, "It'll be fun."

"Well if you say so." She said.

We didn't have to do anything in class really. It was the beginning of a new semester so we just went over what we were going to cover… which made me cringe. I sat next to Andie and she squeezed my shoulder. I calmed.

"It'll be fine," she said, "I promise."

"Yeah, you're right," I replied. I looked past Andie and at Nick and Jenn. Was she flirting with him?

Uh-oh, I thought. I don't think she understood the term girlfriend. Andie examined my expression and turned around. She faced me after a few seconds, her mood didn't change.

"Don't worry about it," she said.

***

Nick insisted that everyone meet Jenn so she sat with us at lunch. I was really beginning to worry because Andie sat between me and Kevin. Jenn sat with Nick.

"Guy's this is Jenn," said Nick, "Jenn this is my other brother Kevin, our close friends John, Claire, Peter, Kali, and Stella." She greeted each one with a smile.

"So, Jenn are you new this year?" asked Claire

"No, I was two years ago though," she said.

"Where did you move from?"

"Texas," she said. As the small talk continued Kevin exchanged glances with me. He was probably thinking the same thing I was. We need a brotherly talk with Nick.

Kevin's POV

Jenn was nice and I accepted her into the group. I mean sure we couldn't tell her everything about us but that goes the same for everyone else in the school. I looked at Joe because she and Nick were a little too close for comfort. Joe moved his eyes to Andie then back at me. I leaned over to take a slight glance at her face. I was expecting the worse but she seemed relatively calm. That's just the kind of person she was I guess.

After lunch Jenn and her had one class together… with no one else. I was hoping maybe they could talk about it in a friendly matter. Then maybe everything would be alright.

Kali and I were walking to art when she looked at Nick.

"This girl is getting really close to Nick, isn't she?" she asked.

"Yeah, you're right," I said, "Joe agrees too."

"But Andie…"

"She hasn't said a word about it," I said finishing her sentence.

"You and Joe should talk to him."

"Yeah, we're way ahead of you," I said.

Andie's POV

"Hey," said Jenn, "I forgot something in my locker… Come with?"

"Sure," I said. I didn't think anything of it.

I followed her down the halls… they were completely empty. Were we that late?

"I think we're a little late," I said.

"Yeah," she laughed, "It's okay though."

Jenn was strange. She seemed to be fond of Nick. It didn't bother me though. He was just being nice. What I didn't expect from her was to take it so badly. She grabbed me by the neck, pushing me against a locker.

"What are you doing?" I coughed unable to yell for help.

"I know all about you, Andie," she said, "I know you and Nick are quite serious and you have a crackpot sister in an insane asylum." I looked at her in disbelief.

"You," I coughed more, "You don't know anything."

"I know enough to say if you don't stay away from Nick that I'll tell the whole school that you're a crazy… just like your sister." She looked at my jaw-line and traced the scar there with her other hand, "Didn't she do that to you?" I couldn't breathe. She was too strong for me to fight back. She slammed my head then let go. I gasped for air as she walked away.

What she didn't know was that I wasn't crazy and as a highly trained spy I could kick her sorry ass when she least expected it.

***

I didn't go back to class. I just sat there by the locker. When the bell ran I stood up and began to walk to my own locker. This gave me some time to think.

So she did enjoy Nick's company that much. Well, when I tell him that wouldn't matter, right? Then it hit me… I had to stay away from Nick. No one knew I had a sister and they wouldn't believe me if I told them I didn't. I mean I mysteriously move away without telling anyone and then come back with scars basically everywhere. I couldn't jeopardize giving away our secret. It took us a long time to make sure no one could remember what really happened.

I reached my locker. As I rummaged through superfluous things, an arm wrapped around my waist.

"Hey, stranger," Nick whispered in my ear.

"Hey," I said quietly. Sensing my emotionless tone, he turned me around to face him.

"What's wrong?" he asked worried.

"Nothing," I said trying to cover up my self-remorse.

"If you say so," he said still a little worried. He looked down at my neck, "Wait a second, what's that?" I turned around. There was probably a mark where Jenn grabbed me.

"I've gotta go," I said. I didn't notice the halls were clear again. As I tried to walk away, Nick pulled me back.

"Who did that to you?" he asked again more serious. I turned back around.

"The truth?" I asked.

"Yes," he said gently touching my neck.

I paused, "Jenn." His eyes snapped up to mine.

"What?" he asked, "That's insane."

"Really," I said, "That what she said I was too."

"I-I'm sorry," he said as I looked down, "I mean why would she-"

"She knows about my sister… she said if I don't stay away from you then she'll tell everyone."

"So let her, we'll just deny it."

"But if we do, no one will believe us. I come back to school full of scars and marks… people will know something's up. I can't do that… they could find our secret."

Nick paused I knew I was right, "Okay," he said, "I'll try to talk to her. Maybe we can work something out."

"Okay," I said looking back up at his brown eyes. He kissed for what seemed to be an eternity before we left school hand in hand.

Mr. Jonas POV

I walked into the interrogation room with confidence. If they knew anything about the four experiments, I would burry them.

The room was cold and concrete, just the way Mr. Spencer liked it. I suppose he deserved a little more suffering than a little interrogation but that wasn't for me to decide and it wasn't for me to suggest.

"Good day, Mr. Spencer," I said.

"Hello," he said normally.

"I assume you know why you're here?" I asked.

"Of course," he said, "And there's nothing you can do now."

"Who are they after?" I asked getting down to business.

"I don't know," he replied simply, "But I do know that if you're little agents don't stay away from them, they'll get their heads wrapped up in something that they might not make it out of."

"What are you saying? That they'll kill them?" I asked not showing my worry. I suppose it was clearly visible to him though.

"I don't make their mercy rate," he laughed out.

"So," I began, "What can they do?"

"You really want to know?" he asked.

"Is that a problem?" I asked.

"Nope," he said, "Have a seat. This could take a while."

I sat down across from him as he began to tell me about the four fugitive Division experiments we forgot to clean up… who were on their way to the small town my family lived in.

So it starts off a little boring but keep reading! I can't wait to show you what I have in store! Tell me what you think! Thank you
