--------Friday, January 15, 2007-------------5:30 A.M.-------------------------

Friday was a dreadful day. Vega woke up that morning with a slight pain on her shoulder, she had already built up stress on her shoulders from sleepless nights

reviewing, investigating, and studying a case called the "Sunshine" case for the last month and a half.

"Whoah, Good Night, what the, Oww!" she exclaimed, feeling her body stiff and extremely soar. She sat still on the side of her bed still yawning and staring

blankly at her night table. From afar the clock was blurry and she was unable to read the time. Dragging herself out of bed, she rummaged through the pile of

papers on her night table for her glasses. Finally having the glasses on her face, and viewing her bed clearly, and her surroundings clearly, the night table clearly,

and the clock reading 6:50 A.M., it was great to have her vision back. "6:50!" she said suddenly realizing the time. "Shit!" she hissed. "I'm late for school. I need

to get my gun ready, my case ready with spares, my files ready, make sure my watch, cell, and the lab top is readable and able to communicate proof with Big Joe

and Gary." she thought rushing to the bathroom.

------7:00 A.M.----------

Vega was ready for another day in school. She kept everything she needed for the case and disguised her tools as books, pens, calculator and other school objects.

"Ok Jack, Lily, I'm leaving, take care of my hole A.K.A apartment" she said as she dismissed her Dobermans with a peck on their snouts. Jack and Lily knew

that once Vega said the magic words "take Care", they would automatically assume their positions and ready to attack the unknown subject. Ready to open the

door on her way out, Vega took a quick peek at herself in the mirror to make sure nothing was poking out and looking like a high schooler.

----------7:16 A.M.------Vega Meets Gary in Front of School-------

"Jesus Vega! It's 7:20 A.M. what da hell were ya doin'? what are ya smokin' or somethin­­-"

"Hey, Shut up! just chill out okay, I woke up late that's all," Vega answered fixing her coat.

"That's all huh? You tellin' me you wake up and stroll in late like nothin' at our arrival time and all you have to say is DATS ALL?"

"Yeah, you couldn't have said it more perfectly, good job."

At the entrance of the school Gary, like many other mornings, made sure Vega's gear was working properly. Vega did the same. Arguing about Vega's late arrival,

they dismissed each other and went their separate ways. Vega's first period class went by faster than her second period class. In between passing periods, Vega

usually took the stairs down and walked through E-Hallway to get to her locker. This time as she walked downstairs, something unusual happened. Vega sensed

the motion of a person following her and lightly brushing her arm. When she turned around to look for a person next to her, there was nobody that close to her.

Vega's little hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Watching carefully every move around her, Vega picked up her pace, continued to her locker and then to her

next period class.

----11:30 A.M.----

It was a cloudy day Friday morning and chances were that a storm would arrive early that afternoon. Entering sculpture class was a very interesting view. Inside

laid brown and white clay all over the floors and desks. The tables with the pottery makers where in the center of the class creating a circle inside the room.

Outside of the circle were the beautifully finished pottery ready to go. By the window sills stood sinks in sets of two. Near the entrance of the room stood the neat

and nicely put, teacher's desk. Behind the teacher's desk hanged the whiteboard and the bulletin board. Coincidentally Vega shared the same class with Gary and

the same period as well.

"Vega, you by any chance...Ha Ha Ha Ha... happen to know where your Brain is!" Gary said sarcastically pacing towards Vega in a slow manner.

"What, what are you talkin' about? Vega said cocking an eyebrow in defiance.

"I've been trying to communicate with you but had your s--- turned off! What is wrong with you? D-did it ever dawned to you that even if you were doin' this, that

we're still in school? Wow...you know what...why do you work for Big Joe again?" Gary said making sure no one else was hearing him but Vega. Before Gary said

anything else, Vega swung her arm towards Gary and pushed him against the lockers.

Forcing her arm against his chest and to his neck she said "I'll tell you why?", continuously thrusting pressure against his neck, "because of people like him whom

I respect dearly and keep me busy from blowin' the turds out of people like you, so here's a though, don't f--- around with me, got that!"

"Yea...yea...okay I got it, point made and clear boss" Gary said gasping for air.

"Now, what the hell were you saying about my device not working, come on let's go to the vending machines" Vega said dragging Gary by the arm.

"Jesus Vega, don't rip my arm off!" Vega just stared flatly at him.

"I was tryin' to use the clock but you had it turned off, all your stuff is turned off, Vega you have no signal, here lemme see." Gary checked all the devices.

"It doesn't seem like there's something wrong with it."

"But I remember I had all my stuff ready, you checked it remember?"

"Yes but, I don't understand why it would just turn off like that." Vega said concerned.

"Unless somebody somehow is disconnecting your stuff, make sure nobody touches you, ya hear?"

"What, Na that can't be it. I mean...there can't be, no way!" Vega said reassuring herself.

"So you think we're the only students in here with other jobs, there has to be at least one person in this school who is a student and knows what's goin' on, it's only

reasonable my bitter friend." Gary said tapping Vega on the shoulder.

"I am not...bitter! I...am bittersweet." Vega said shyly. After a moment of awkward silence they busted out laughing.

"C'mon Miss Bittersweet-fulla-crap let's go, we're gonna be late." As Gary walked ahead of Vega, she managed to quickly kick him behind his knee.

"It was a joke! Get it, Ha-Ha? Loose the temper Ms. Bitter-turd." Gary said racing to class, and at the same time avoiding to be hit anywhere else.

----12:00 P.M. ----

While Vega and Gary were fooling around, Big Joe was infuriated with them and left a voicemail saying, "Hey you two, we're on a mission and of you guys think

we're going to be playing around on the job, meanwhile there are things to be done, than this isn't the kind of job for you, so I suggest a little discretion. If you can't

do this the right way, than there's the door, don't let it hit you in the back, oh and Vega we need to talk about your punctuality. NOW!"


Yea Big Joe is the big Boss onf the agency but I think he has a lot on his mind at this point.
