The Choice
Chapter 2
Seat 44a, check! Comfortable, check! Seatbelt, check! I was all ready and set for this flight. 'Welcome to American Airlines flight 55NY to New York City, please enjoy your flight' said the flight attendant from the front of the plane. During the 5 hour flight I took out the information pack I needed for this mission, paper clipped to Ryan Cage's personal profile was a small picture, Cute I thought. Then I took out my new passport and personal profile and read through it in my head. Hi I'm Isabelle but you can call me Izzy, ok lame I thought to myself. Hi I'm Isabelle Brown, but you can call me Iz for short, I love to write stories and to look after animals, actually I'm a vet. I sighed feeling like an idiot. I would never be able to pull something like this off.
"Are you an actress of something?" giggled a girl passenger behind me. I turned around and chuckled too,
"Sorry what?"
"That profile, you looked like you were tryna memorize it or something?"
"Oh, that." I quickly covered up the files and stuffed them back into my bag, Shit! I thought to myself.
"Erm, yeah I'm an actress, well, trying to be anyway." I smiled generously and then turned around, Please stop talking to me! I thought to myself, the last thing I needed was someone on my back interrogating me.
"I'm Amanda, I'm kind of new here to New York, and I'm going to attend vet school." I turned around to take a good look at this girl, she had long blonde hair with brown highlights and wore a flowery summer dress and rectangular glasses.
"Cool" I said uninterested, and turned around hoping she would take the hint. As soon as the flight attendants came around with the blankets and earphones, I took the opportunity to listen to some music and watch movies at top volume in case 'Amanda' started talking again. Before I knew it, the five hours had passed and I was collecting my luggage in the baggage pick up area. Ring ring!
"Hello?"
"Oh good, you've arrived safely Isabelle, I've arranged for a friend of mine to pick you up at the back, is that alright darling? I just wanted to make sure you had transport my darling daughter. " it was my boss, Bradford Spencer, the head of Scorpion's Mercury. He was young, at least 30 but he acted like he carried the world on his shoulders, he was very controlling and stressed. I chuckled to myself silently listening to him pretending to be my father in case the calls were being traced.
"Yes Dad that's fine, I'll see you later, and I love you. Bye." I replied, trying to sound like a loving daughter who was lucky to have a father like him. I paced through the teeming throng of people towards the back entrance of the airport and sat on my suitcase, waiting patiently for my driver. It was then it happened. My head, a striking pain surged through my head, I closed my eyes tight trying to block out that pain. No, no not again, not another premonition, not now I thought to myself. But I couldn't control it; usually I would only get little headaches when I was going to have little glimpses of the future, but I could tell this one was going to be big…
My surroundings were dark and wet and the atmosphere was eerie and quiet, I couldn't see anyone but Spencer, his face filled with anger,
"That's it. They've gone far enough, Kill Him."
