Chapter 1
Spencer's POV:
I was eating dinner with my parents, when a shrill alarm rang through the house. It was our security system; someone had managed to break into our house.
"Spencer, go to your room! NOW!" yelled my dad.
I jumped out of my chair, ran to my room, and locked the door. I was scared, and I didn't know what to do. I could hear loud voices and then there was a gun shot. I was so scared. I didn't know who had fired the gun.
Suddenly someone knocked on my door. My heart was racing and my breath got caught in my throat.
And then someone called: "Open the door, Spencer!"
I knew that voice. It was my mom. I opened the door and I don't think I have ever been so happy to see my mom. I almost tackled her in a hug.
"Who shot the gun?" I asked.
"A young girl", my mom answered while she led me to the living room.
"What?" I asked. "A young girl?"
"Why did you shoot?" asked someone. It was a man. I didn't recognize his voice though.
We walked into the living room and sat down. I was sitting next to a man. I guess he was the man I heard a minute ago.
"Did you want me to let him die?" asked a young girl who was sitting across from me. I guess that she was the one who shot. I couldn't really believe it though. I mean she didn't look like someone who could kill.
"No! Lily, you know what I mean", answered the man.
The girl rolled her eyes and then she simply said: "It was my assignment to kill him."
I was shocked and I heard myself asked: "What? Who are you?"
"My name is Lily", answered the girl.
I wanted to ask again because that was obviously not what I meant, but the man interrupted me by saying: "My name is Shuichi Akai and I'm a FBI agent."
"I'm going to bring you to the FBI headquarters where a FBI agent will be assigned to you", explained Shuichi.
He got up and started walking to his car; we quickly followed him. We all got in the car and Shuichi started driving.
"This conversation isn't over yet", said Shuichi to Lily.
"Why did he want to kill me?" asked my dad.
"He didn't", said Lily simply. "That wasn't his assignment."
"Then why don't you simply tell us about his assignment?" asked Shuichi annoyed.
I quickly realized that he didn't seem to like Lily. I had a feeling though, that Shuichi could like Lily if he really wanted to. I felt like he just simply didn't want to like her.
"The man was send by the leader of a small organization. He was supposed to kidnap Spencer, so they could blackmail his parents", explained Lily.
"What do they want?" asked Shuichi.
"Money and information. Once he had what he wanted, he would have killed Spencer", answered Lily.
"Oh my god", I whispered shocked.
"Can I go now?" asked Lily.
"No!" answered Shuichi harshly.
"Fine", said Lily while sighing. "I need to call Anokata though, so be quiet."
Shuichi looked surprised, but he didn't say anything.
Shuichi's POV:
I was surprised that Lily didn't argue anymore, but I kept quiet. She took her phone out of her pocket and dialed a phone number.
"Hey, it's me… yes, everything worked according to plan… no, a colleague from the FBI is taking me… WHAT!? TWO MONTH!? Why?… (sigh) okay, bye", said Lily and hung up.
"What's in two month?" I asked.
"My next mission", answered Lily and sighed… again.
"You can help us then", I said. "I mean the worst that can happen is that you will save someone's life."
"Hahaha, very funny, Shuichi", said Lily and glared at me.
I realized that her glare wasn't as intense as usual though, which really surprised me.
Spencer's POV:
I was totally lost, so I asked: "What?"
Instead of giving me an answer, Lily quickly said: "It's complicated."
I was about to ask again, when Shuichi said that we had arrived.
