The Mission:

Do you believe that everyone is who they say they are? I sure don't. For one thing I'm not everything I say that I am. I have become a nerd, a badass chick, a gangster, someone from the mafia…I've become a lot of people. The reason you ask? Because that's who I am. No one ever knows who I am except well the people I work with.

"Hey Nano? You got the security cameras?" a familiar high-pitched voice came through the coms-unit I was wearing in my ear, "Yup got the motion censors for you too."

"Awesome. I'm going in. Ninja you got the guards?"

"Yup knocked out and ready," said a calm voice. "All right. Seems that you guys have everything good and done. I'm going in you guys."

"Hit it,"

"Good luck,"

"I don't need luck." I heard laughs. I unscrewed the vent on the roof, attached the magnet of my rappel cord onto the metal roof. I hooked myself on and rappelled myself down. I got to the bottom of the vent and landed soundlessly.

I unhooked myself and started to crawl through the vents. "Are you sure this is the right place?" I whispered. I heard static, "Nano, Ninja." I started to get worried. I heard someone rappel down the vent I came from and I kicked open the nearest vent and hopped out. I landed soundlessly and I crouched behind a desk. I heard voices outside and I peeked up. I saw about two guys who looked like feds but I knew they weren't; it was their cover and they decided to get in that way but Ninja already knocked them out and they must've noticed it. They turned to my direction—after all I did kick open the vent. "Hey there's something here scope it out," said a voice and I crouched lower, "Yeah alright." Said another voice.

I heard the steps as they were coming closer and closer to the desk. When I saw his boot I shot up from the desk and decked him in the face, "What the—" he said and I kicked him in the stomach. The other guy turned around and shot at me and I ducked and tackled him. I knocked off his gun and then knocked him out. The other guy started pointing my gun and I tackled him too and knocked him out.

"Kalyin what just happened?"

"I don't know Nano, I told you not to say my name on comms."

"Oh right sorry I mean Parker what happened?"

"I don't know." I'm nicknamed Parker because I love the character from Leverage and that's my last name. "Wait didn't I just say that,"—may I add this. I am saying all of this while I am running down the hallway to the destination I should've hit—"I'm heading towards the destination,"

"What if they already got there?"

"Then I'll get whatever they took back,"

"That makes sense…I suppose."

"Yeah, so I need to head out."

"Kay, I got you covered," two seconds later I heard a car alarm go off and I hid behind the desk and I saw six guys in the same suits run past the office. I couldn't help smile, Nano as I call her—her real name is Ashley but code names need to stick—is a real genius when it comes to computers and technology.

"Well, well if it isn't Kaylin," said a silky British voice. Wait—I know that voice. That isn't—no effing way. I turned around and I was right—it was a guy we totally…I guess robbed…Ian Kabra. I noticed that he was also in another book…The 39 Clues…yeah I know. "Ian…what do you want?" I said turning back to the door. I rubbed my leather-gloved hands and kicked open the door. I also pocketed one of the guns from the mysterious suited men.

"Well Kaylin I remember that you managed to get into my mansion without ringing any alarms—impressive by the way—and I need a favor."

I kept walking down the hall—after all I really don't trust this guy—I looked to see if any more of those suited men were still here. Once I managed to know that none of them were in range I walked to the last door. "Now why would a guy like you ask a favor for a girl like me?" I said as I knelt in front of the door and I started to pick the lock, "Parker we don't have all day, leave the guy alone." Said the same calm voice, "Ninja I've got it down."

"Ooh is that what you call her?" Ian kept saying, "Ian please shut up I'm on a time slot." When I was finished picking the lock I shook my head, "Thirty seconds…I'm getting rusty," I muttered. I stood up and opened the door. "Now Kaylin, you still don't know what my offer is."

"Maybe I don't want to know," I walked into the office and went straight to the closet. I opened it and got to the safe deposit box, "Nano."

"I got it…wait Parker we have an issue,"

"What is it?"

"Looks like someone all ready broke into it,"

"How's that—"

"I don't know," I walked up to the deposit box and opened it. Just like that, no combination lock-nothing. Something didn't feel right either. When I got that feeling I heard static again in my comms unit. "Something isn't—" I heard a click of a gun and I turned around.

Ian just smiled, "Is something wrong—"

"Get down!" I yelled and I tackled him to the ground right when I heard the gun shot. "Well aren't we generous,"

"Shut up Ian! God!" I pulled him up by the collar of his shirt and pulled him to the table. "Stay here!" I heard another gunshot and heard heavier footsteps. I looked over the desk and I heard heavy breathing next to me, "Ian?" I said looking over.

"Seems I don't feel too well," I saw his hand and it was covered in blood. I looked down and it seemed that his leg had gotten shot. "Crap." I took off my jacket and tied it around it, "Stay calm I'm going to get this fixed."

He gave a strained nod. I stood up and pointed my gun, "Who are you!" I yelled. The two men turned to my direction and one of them said, "We should ask you the same question."

"I'm here for a legal reason, as for you it doesn't seem like that," the guys laughed and I just got more anxious. I needed to get Ian to the hospital and I needed to get the mission finished. The guys kept laughing and I took the chance and shot them both in the leg. I ran over to the deposit box and took out what was left and put it in my backpack.

I got under the desk and took Ian's right arm and started to drag him over to the vents. "Parker you need to get out of there." Ninja—a.k.a. Abalene—said through the, now clear, comms unit. "Don't you think I know that Ninja? I need some help."

"Commin' down." I heard the rappel cord and next thing I know she's next to me. "What's the—what the hell is he doing here?" she said looking down at Ian.

"Explain that later. We need to get him to Doc and I need your help he's unconscious." She sighed and took Ian's other arm and we started to drag him to the vent. Once we got inside, Abalene hooked herself up and rappelled up. I hooked Ian and myself up and we rappelled up.

We got into the van and I laid Ian on the floor. Doc—a.k.a. Cady—was always with us just in case something like this happened. "Doc can you help this idiot?"

"Yeah Kay I can. Give me the first aid." I handed the box to her and she started on the work. When she's in her zone she's in her zone. No one can bother her unless they want at least ten stitches. When she was done he was stitched up and good. I high fived her and we sat there—ready to head home.
