Chapter two:
"Class dismissed." The professor closed the book. "See you tomorrow."
Their third period had just ended with Tyson still standing. Their science teacher, Mr. Bardnoe had told others not to let Tyson sit throughout the day.
"Aww…" Tyson complained, "My foot's asleep."
Ray turned his head to look at him, "I'm really sorry Ty." He apologized for the tenth time since the first period.
"Not your fault buddy." Tyson forced a smile on his face. "Just one more period and then the recess. I'd sit throughout it."
Ray smiled at Tyson. His friend was funny sometimes even when he was serious.
"I think that this taught you a lesson." Ray raised his eyebrows at Tyson.
"What lesson?" This was a major problem with Tyson. He never learned anything neither he liked to.
"To not to ever take my side?"
"Oh come on Ray." Tyson smiled. "You know that I wasn't taking your side."
"Then maybe you were taking Max's because he was the one caught by professor Bradnoe." Ray said sarcastically. He would have known better that Tyson would never admit taking his side. He always refused to.
"Don't joke around Ray." Tyson smiled, "It was just so that you might agree to the party."
Ray took a deep breath, "Oh okay, Tyson." But you'd have to get through with my roommate.
"Now we're talking." Tyson smiled widely at Ray. Ray smiled back and turned in his seat to face the front just as their Mathematics teacher walked in the room. Their school wasn't that big which would have separate classes for each subject. They only had one laboratory, for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Sometimes there was even no electricity.
There was a hostel for the students of the school. Sometimes the hostel rooms fall short and three students even four had to sleep in the same room. That was really annoying.
Ray had slept with five more students in his room once and had to stay awake the whole night.
"You still standing Granger?" Professor Burton asked and Tyson nodded looking down, this was getting embarrassing.
"You won't be able to do mathematics while standing. Sit down." He winked at Tyson.
"But sir… what about professor Bradnoe?" Tyson asked happy that someone had told him to sit down.
"Don't worry boy. It's just because of the fact that mathematics require whole of your energy and attention and for that you'll have to sit." It was just an excuse made by their Maths teacher to make his student sit.
Tyson sat down happily and showed Max a thumbs up who was looking at him from the other line. He smiled at Tyson and looked away.
"We'll have to solve the next exercise by factorization." The professor started as soon as the class got quite. "Anybody knows what's factorization?" He looked around the class but nobody raised their hands. "Very well then. Let me tell you…."
Kai knocked at the office door and stepped inside, "You called?"
"Come sit." The higher officer, agent Mack, ordered and Kai followed; he sat down on the chair that was placed in front of the table.
The office, Kai noticed was simple with only the required furniture. Other than that, only a single frame containing the officer's family photo was placed on the desk with lots of papers scattered all over the table.
The walls were of cream white color and there wasn't even a single window in the big room.
"Kai, I assume that you've been told and have read in the files that there have been a few disappearances in the boys` high school."
Kai nodded so the officer continued in his business like formal voice, "We've sent our spies in the school but there has been no progress. Our agents are too old to get inside the school." The officer kept Kai's gaze, "You've been assigned a mission. Your first mission."
Kai looked at the officer for a second, how he could be their only hope, he didn't know. He had completed the high school just a year before and had joined this agency a few weeks after that. The thirty years old officer kept staring into Kai's crimson eyes. He didn't disturb him with whatever he was thinking.
Kai furrowed his eyebrows, "What's the mission?"
The man, agent Mack, sitting in front of him placed his elbows on the table, "You're of perfect age to join the high school, the youngest one of us." That much Kai knew. Everyone else working for the agency was not younger than twenty five. Only he was sixteen, the youngest spy in the history yet.
"Join it?" Kai raised an eyebrow at the man questioningly.
"We'll have to look at it from all the angles. If it's an outsider kidnapping the students, the guards; our spies, would have noticed something." The man explained in his still emotionless voice.
"And it's not an outsider?" Kai asked. He had no intention of joining the high school again but if it was required, what choice did he have?
"We don't know yet but we need to keep a close eye on the teachers and also on the students."
"When will I leave for the school?" Kai asked. He knew that they couldn't risk taking any chances, if the situation was that serious, even one of the students could be working for someone in kidnapping. He had to do it.
"We've talked with the Principal, told him about you. Not who you exactly are, so no one should find out that you're working for us." The officer warned. "I have your admission form, you'll leave toady."
Kai took the paper that the man was offering and stood up, "I'll keep you informed with everything, Mack."
"I'll be in contact." The man said just a second before Kai left the room.
Kai walked through the corridor towards his own office.
On his way he passed a few people who nodded in his direction in acknowledgment.
Even when he was in high school, he had been the youngest there. It was only because he had skipped the first four grade classes. He had too much knowledge to study the grade classes. It was all due to his mother who helped him study.
So, he was used to being the youngest one but it seemed that it was going to change. He would be a few months or so older than the other kids in high school.
