The bell rang. Thousands of students emerged from the school's doors, taking the streets at the shout of "Weekend!". Diana crossed the street and stopped besides a tree. 'Friday, at last!' she thought. The girl ran a hand through her blond hair and then grunted. That lazy genius she had for a brother was late again. "Diana!" She rose her head to see a bloke stopping by her side, sweating. "You're late Erwin. If we're not home in fifteen minutes dad's gonna kill us." "I know sis i know, just gimme a break ok?" He took a deep breath. "Ok, let's go." They broke into a run down the street and soon lost themselves in the streets of the old Spanish city.
Two men, looked at a screen, following the siblings' steps through Santiago. "Are they the ones?" Commander Xao looked up, surprised. Talking wasn't something the boss did often. "Yes, sir. We've analyzed their genetic codes and there's no doubt. It's them" "Finally" the boss muttered with a grin. He removed his gaze from the screen to look at commander Xao. "Do we have somebody deployed in Santiago?" "Yes sir. Shadow arrived last week and is waiting for orders" "Excellent. I want him to keep an eye on them" "Of course, sir"
They were late. And his sister was taking ages to get ready. Again. Erwin would never understand that obsession she had of taking a book everywhere and staring for hours at her shelf, trying to decide which one to pick. They had karate training, not a literature lesson! "Sis, hurry up!" he shouted. Minutes later Diana rushed down the stairs. She showed her brother a book. "I picked Ender today" she said smiling. Erwin exploded "I don't care Diana! We're late again and teacher is going to kill us and…" he stopped when he realized that his sister was already running down the street. "Oh damn" he grunted before bolting after her. None of them noticed the man that had been watching them from behind a tree in their garden, and nobody seemed to notice how he suddenly disappeared, melting with the shadows.
