"Ok listen up, I don't want to have to repeat myself, " Hans said as he started the briefing.
"Hathaway, you will keep your first name to keep things simple but your last name will now be Hall. You're 18 and starting as a senior at Saint Clover. It's a private school but luckily you don't have to be a genius to get in. Otherwise we would have to make up a profile and have you fake being an exchange student."
"Hey! My grades weren't that bad at school." I said defensively, but in truth Hans was right.
"And they weren't that great either, now moving on. You come from a moderate family that can afford to send you there but isn't so famous that people will start talking when you arrive. You have average grades but you are trying to go for a sports scholarship which is where you come in Belikov," Hans said as he turned to address Dimitri.
"Your new name will be Dimitri Brown and you will be the school's new physical education teacher. We thought that this would be fitting to your skills and this will give you a legitimate excuse to have regular contact with Rose. And it was either that or make you the new Russian language teacher. But then you would have to grade papers instead of doing your job.
"And what is my job?" Dimitri asked with a slight smile on his face. I could tell that he was thinking the same thing that I was. About all the times that we spent going on early morning runs and training. This really was déjà vu.
"For now, you and Miss Hathaway will be observing the students, just seeing if anyone or anything is out of the ordinary. And trying to figure out what is making these student's blood different from anyone else."
"Is it just the students or have the teachers been affected also?" I asked, I wanted to do my homework on this case before I plunged in head first. DAMN I was becoming responsible and thinking logically. Now when did that start happening?
"We don't know, that will be another question that you will have to find out that answer to. Now Rose, you will be staying in the seniors dorm and Dimitri will of course be in the teachers quarters. There a bit of distance between them but if you need to communicate with each other then you should be able to get past the pathetic excuse of campus security to each other. But I wouldn't suggest it."
He added quickly when he saw the look I was giving Dimitri. "The last thing we need is for history to repeat itself and for you two to get caught together and drawing unnecessary attention to yourselves. Am I understood?" He said looking only at me with a "don't mess with me look" I guess he could tell what I was thinking.
"Don't worry sir, I won't put the mission in danger just for some cheap thrills." And I meant it. Oh, I wasn't going to be the perfect student and follow all of the rules, but I would have to keep sneaking around with Dimitri at a low...at least for a while...again.
"Good, I've already enrolled you in classes and I've put you down for a language classes as an elective," Hans told me with a twinkle in his eye "This term, you will be taking Russian, I trust that won't be a problem?" He finished with a smile.
I returned the smile and said, "Not at all sir."
"Good. Now we do have one contact at the school that you can go to for help, but he's an elderly human and we don't want to endanger him if we can help it. His name it Mister Hines. And he's the current language class teacher. Another reason why we put you with him, is so,"
Hans said as he turned to me, "you can have easy access to him if you need to ask him anything or need him to pass some information on. You leave in two hours, any more questions?"
"How often do you want us to make contact?" Dimitri asked. I should have thought of that. I mentally kicked myself for not. I really needed to focus. I had to stop thinking so much about sneaking around with Dimitri at the school, the mission hadn't even started yet for crying out loud and I was already dropping the ball.
"When you first get settled in then only when you have something to report. Too many of our operations have been compromised because our people were tracked down when some computer savvy Strigoi analysed how many out going calls are made and where to. So only report when there is something to report.
"And how do you want us to make contact?" Hah, I beat Dimitri to the punch with that one.
"We will give each of you a burn phone to use. Each one is good for about a month, then throw it out and get another one from the gas station or something round there. Anything else?"
"Yes. Do I have to wear a uniform?" I really hoped the answer was no. I have seen some boarding school uniforms on TV and they are usually hideous. Especially catholic.
"Yes."
DAMN!
"We had someone deliver one to your room in your size. But don't worry, you will still be able to fight in them without a problem."
Of course that would be his concern. It's not that I minded a uniform, I wore the guardians uniform everyday for three years. But we didn't have one back at and I wanted this to be like back then. But I would have to deal with it.
"Good, dismissed.
-
"So what do you think were up against here Comrade?" I asked as we made our way home.
"I'm not sure, Hans said that the Strigoi were getting harder to fight, I guess we should start our investigation with finding out what's causing that."
"It is rather odd and we still don't know if it is just the students. For all we know, it could just be something native to that area and the kids in the school are just the ones getting affected."
"The only thing we can do is get in there and keep our eyes open like Hans said."
"Yeah, your right. But if nothing else good comes out of this then at least I will be able to brush up on my Russian." I said with a grin. I could say a few words and sentences but I was far from fluent.
"Yes, since you won't be focusing on all of you other classes it will be interesting to see how far you come along." Dimitri said with a straight face but with laughter in his eyes. I could always tell what he was feeling by looking into his eyes, which was why he never wanted to okay poker with me.
"What's the point, I'm already in a very stable job with plenty of chances to advance, so what do I need with algebra?"
"I know, you had the same attitude last time you were in school. But it wouldn't hurt if you picked up a thing or two."
"Oh FINE! I'll try to pay attention in class, but I will be mostly focused on finding out what's going on with this school. Do you think that the Strigoi could have an inside man working for them like we do?"
"Mmm, it's not unheard of for Strigoi to have human lackeys, but we can't assume anything."
We were already packed and ready to go, we just had to go back to our place to get my ukkk uniform.
"I really hope it's not one of those ugly checkered skirts, NO ONE looks good in those," I complained.
"You look beautiful in everything you wear Roza." Dimitri said sweetly as he took my hand in his. I smiled at him, he really meant that too.
"You would probably think that I would look beautiful in a burlap sack Comrade,"
"That's because you would and no matter what, you will always look beautiful to me," He leaned in and gave me a tender kiss.
"And besides," He continued after he pulled away, "you don't want to look to good to all of the other guys, you're taken remember. I actually do kind of hope your uniform is unflattering. Then maybe the guys won't stop and openly galk you in the halls."
"Well maybe that's why Hans gave me the last name Hall." I laughed. "And I think your getting a little jealous there Comrade." I smirked.
"You hate it when other girls flirt with me and I'm not so crazy about the idea of all those school boys hitting on you when I can't come up and put my arm around you and tell them you're taken."
"Hah, don't worry there Comrade, I've handled guys hitting on me since I was thirteen, I think I can handle a few months of some hormonal teenage boys making fools out of themselves trying to talk to me."
We had made it back to our room and opened up the door.
And that's when I saw it.
What did Rose see?
What's going on at that school?
Do you think that Dimitri's a boxers or briefs kind of guy?
Ok that last one wasn't series,but please let me know what you think:)
