Chapter 2
Spies
The next day came as Paul woke up and got ready for school. He noticed that EC wasn't awake yet so we walked over to her room.
"EC, wake up…" he noticed she wasn't there. "Hmm…" he walked downstairs and saw her asleep on the couch with the pile of files in front of her. "Idiot…" he muttered walking over to her. "EC, wake up now…"
She started to stir and woke up. "Paul? What time is it?"
"An hour and a half before school starts…"
She stretched getting up. "Wow…didn't realized I fell asleep here…"
"Figures…get dressed so we can leave already,"
EC nodded as she walked to her room and got ready. As soon as she got ready, the two left to school. Once at school the two walked around bored.
EC yawned. "Man, I'm tired…"
"What time did you go to sleep last night?"
"1 AM? Maybe 1:30?"
"Moron, you do realize we had school today, right?"
"Yeah, but as I read on, she became more interesting,"
"…just don't get too involved…"
"I know…" she said looking around. "Strange…Kina hasn't shown up yet…"
"Stop being interested in her…"
"It's hard…she's a very interesting girl, if you read between the lines of her records and files…"
"I don't cause I don't want to get too attached like you are,"
"That's just who I am…"
"You know Reggie won't approved if he finds out you got too attached like last time…"
EC looked at him before walking into homeroom. Paul just sighed following her.
That same morning at Kina and Drew's house. Gary walked over to their house to make sure they would get to school on time. Unfortunately Kina was still asleep and Drew, Gary and Emerald were trying to wake her up.
"Kina! Wake up!" Drew yelled.
Emerald was next to her barking.
Kina started to wake up. "This is your fault…you know that…right Drew?"
"How is this, his fault?" Gary asked.
"He's the one keeping me up all night for combat training cause dad doesn't want me unprepared in a fight…"
"And I told you he's been overprotective of us ever since mom died!" Drew said.
After they were finally able to get Kina to school, the next problem was getting her into homeroom.
"I DON'T WANNA GO TO HOMEROOM!" Kina yelled trying to leave.
Barry pushes her in. "Too bad. You're already in homeroom."
Kina turned away from Barry and walked to her seat.
"Kina, you've been like this ever since mom died…" Drew said.
EC and Paul noticed them walked in and EC walked over to Kina smiling. "Hello Kina, did coach say anything about my disappearance? She is a strict one after all."
Brendan walked into the classroom noticing EC talking to Kina. "Why is our queen talking to the new girl?"
"Don't know…" A fanboy said.
Kina shakes her head no. "Nah, she didn't say much."
Emerald barked whining. Kina looked at Emerald before putting the radio translator on Emerald's collar. "Hi!" Emerald's transmitter said.
EC smiled. "Hello Emerald, may I pet her if you don't mind?
Paul looked back at EC muttering "idiot…"
Dawn appeared next to him suddenly. "Hey Paul! So what are you doing after school?
"Stuff…"
"What kind of stuff?"
"The kind of stuff that is none of your business," he said glaring at her.
"Well I was wondering do you wanted to go to the movies? It'll be perfect!" She said with sparkling eyes.
He sweat dropped looking at her. "No…why don't you get lost? Are you that stupid that you can't even take a hint?" Paul looked back again at EC and Kina. 'Playing her character again… She better not get caught up in it…'
Kina nodded. "Sure…Drew! You say I have mood swings…just yesterday Emerald was growling at EC and now she's jumping around saying hi!"
"Yeah, but you've been having constant mood swings ever since mom died…" Drew said.
EC gasped hearing that. "I'm sorry about your mother, Kina."
Kina just shrugged. "Well…I didn't know her that well…it wasn't that much of a loss…"
Emerald started to growl. "Kina…" she backed up growling even more now.
"What? Emerald, you've been acting strange lately…"
"them…it's them…"
Kina gasped. "You sure?"
"I know a scent when I smell one…they're here…" she growled. "He's one of them…"
"Who?" She said before realizing. "…oh…" she sighed. "Emerald, go wait with Drew okay? And stop causing trouble."
"Is there something wrong, Kina?" EC asked looking at her sadly.
'What is that dog up to?' Paul thought.
"It's nothing EC, Emerald's last owner was tracked down by some people and killed…right in front of Emerald…her sense of smell is sometimes off a bit…she still remembers the people…maybe they were in here once…or around someone in this room…" Kina said.
"I'm so sorry for Emerald. To see someone they loved killed in front of their eyes is devastating," EC said remembering her own parents being killed in front of her and Paul.
'I wonder who Emerald's owner is…' Paul thought.
"Yeah, I know how it feels…my little sister was killed right in front of Drew and I…s-she…was Emerald's owner…before I got her…she lived with my mom… Drew and I were with my dad…they were both killed right in front of me, Drew and Emerald… her name was Phoenix…cause of her eyes… they glowed bright red sometimes…" Kina said.
EC remembers the entire story on the report last night. "I'm sorry, Kina. I don't know what else to say, but I'm sure your mom and sister is in a better place now. Always watching over you," she said smiling.
Paul pulled out his cell phone and texted something before closing it. 'If what that dog says is true… then we're not alone here…'
"Yeah…that's why I choose Phoenix for my name in the singing contest…my little sister always wanted to be in one…" Kina said.
"That's good," she smiled before seeing Brendan walk over. "Oh boy…"
"So my queen, are you doing anything today?" Brendan asked.
"That's none of your business,"
"So is this your friend?" Brendan looked over to Kina.
"And if she is?"
"But the queen has always ruled alone. Why change the tradition,"
"…what?"
Paul walked over to them. "You better watch what you say, Brendan. My sister can do what she wants, it's her life not yours." He glared at him.
"Well one day, I'll be her husband and then it'll be our life,"
"…I think I'm going to be sick…" EC said.
Emerald suddenly started growl jumping at Mike.
Kina looked shocked. "Emerald?!"
"Him Kina! He has the scent!" Her transmitter said. She then pointed her tail to EC and Paul. "They do too! I remember now! The person who killed Phoenix! He was a spy!" She snapped a Mike.
"Call off your dog, Kina!" Mike yelled.
"Emerald! Come! Now! This isn't the time to talk about this!" Kina yelled.
"Kina! It was Mike! HE KILLED PHOENIX! He's a spy! So are those two!" Emerald said frantically pointing at EC and Paul again.
"Wh-…What?" Kina said confused about everything.
"You have any idea what the dog is saying?" EC said trying to keep their cover from being exposed. 'We gotta stop this…'
"Not a clue…" Paul said. 'This dog is going to give us all away…'
"…all three of you, EC, Paul, and Mike, come to the tennis courts after school…we'll talk then…my nose doesn't lie… I know the three of you are spies… I'd know that scent anywhere… you don't show up… I'm a good tracking dog… we'll see what happens after that…" Emerald looked at them serious.
Kina just looked at them speechless. Hurt. Betrayed…
EC looked at them. "…okay then…" she smiled. "We'll see you after school then." She walked back to her seat. Paul nodded and followed her back to his seat.
EC looked at Paul. "Who did you text?"
"What?" He asked looking back at him.
"I'm not blind, who did you text?" Paul just sighed giving her his phone. EC read the text saying "Who was assigned to assassinate Phoenix Hayden?" She then read the reply. "Mike." Her eyes widen. "So…he did do it…"
Paul nodded taking back his phone. "Right under our noses…" he sighed. "He must be a part of the assassination team…" he whispered lowly.
"Who knew… I'm going to run a background check on the students here… See if anymore are here…" EC whispered lowly.
Paul nodded.
"Come on Kina. I'll make sure they stay away from you," Emerald looked at Kina.
Kina still in shocked from the betrayal.
"Kina, come on. Everything will be okay," Drew said walking over to her.
Kina just shook her head 'no'. "It feels like I can't trust anyone in this school besides you, Emerald, and Gary…"
"Don't trust EC, or that brother of hers. They're spies just like Mike…as far as you know they could have been with him that night." Emerald's transmitter said.
Kina sighed walking over to her seat next to Drew and Gary.
School finally ended as everyone started to leave school. EC and Paul stood around waiting for everyone to leave as they walked down the empty hallway.
"Yes…yes…alright…thank you," EC said as she hanged up her cell phone.
"Well?" Paul looked at her.
"Seems like Mike was on a solo mission there that night…"
Paul sighed. "I thought Reggie said that this area was ours?"
"Even so, neither you or I are part of the assassination team, so if there was a killing needed, we weren't going to do it…"
"Did you at least find out why?"
"Not yet. They'll reply soon,"
"Well let's go to the tennis court like that dog said. If things get bad…run,"
"Even so the dog is a tracker dog… it'll be hard to get away without her finding where we are eventually…"
"We're in this messed now thanks to that mission. So we must deal with everything that comes along,"
EC nodded. "Yeah…"
The two arrived to the tennis court seeing Mike leaning up against the fence and Kina standing next to Emerald looking at both them along with Mike.
"Okay, no more secrets, don't try denying it, I can tell all three of you are spies," Emerald thought letting her transmitter do the talking.
"I'm not denying anything," Mike said not caring about anything now.
EC looked at Paul who looked back before looking straight at Emerald. "How can you tell if we're spies or not, Emerald?"
"Yeah, how can you?" Mike asked.
"By the scent on the tracking chips on your cell phones…my nose is more sensitive than most dogs, the scent is the same as the cell phone Mike has when he killed Phoenix and Kina's mom."
"…and I'm not exactly deaf you know…my vision might be bad, but my hearing is better thanks to that, I've heard the word 'spy' come up in your conversations a lot, same with yours Mike." Kina said.
EC sighed. 'How are we getting out of this one?' Her cell phone rang. "Hold on…" EC picked up. "Yes?"
"The mission wasn't placed into our main frame. The leader has already sent out the assassination team towards your area. He will be taken into custody until further noticed," the investigator said as he hanged up.
EC looked over to Mike glaring at him. "How dare you," Paul looked over to EC due to the sudden anger. "That mission wasn't even placed into the main frame." She said about to walk over to him.
Paul held her back. "What are you talking about?"
"He killed Phoenix and Kina's mother for his own joy!" She yelled. "How could you do that?!"
"EC, calm down," Paul said.
"Why should I?! He's just like those people that killed our parents!"
Emerald attacked Mike pushing him down to the ground.
Kina started at Emerald as tears started to fall from her eyes. "…Kill him…" she said her voice cold.
Emerald snapped his neck killing him.
EC: Wowie, that ending was a Whoa moment...
Paul: No kidding...
Drew: Yea.....
Gary: *reading the rest of the story*.......
Drew: I warned him not to read it...
EC: *laughing her head off*
Paul: -.-' ...do I even want to know?
EC: How about you just wait and see?
Drew: read the whole story if you want to know....
Emerald: ..where's Kina?
Drew: She left for a little while her and EC finish the rest of the story.
EC: *laughs* Well then Chapter 3 will be up soon peoples!
Emerald: Yep!....and hopefully Kina will be back soon too.
