"Wait, slow down Jeremy, your saying that Mr. Jack is a part of the men in black?" Odd says sitting on Jeremy's bed
"yes I am! Aelita heard him talking to someone, and he said that he found her. Now this was directly after Aelita's session with him, and that to me sounds very suspicious." Jeremy said adjusting his glasses
"See? I told you it was the CIA!" Ulrich fist pumps
"Hold on Ulrich." Odd sighs "The only evidence we have is the assumption that he is American because he is a fan of LSU."
"Odd is correct, it still could be either the BSGE or CIA, either way we need to be very alert. Now I believe that it is pizza night." Jeremy smiles and helps Aelita up
"Hell yeah pizza!" Odd yells as he runs out of the room, with Ulrich in tow
"I wasn't even here for a year, but they already found me." Aelita sighs
"Relax Aelita, we don't even know for a fact that he was talking about you." Jeremy hugs her before they head to the cafeteria for dinner. As they near the cafeteria they see a janitor cleaning, "Hmm, new janitor." Jeremy says shrugging it off. Soon they arrive at the cafeteria and get their dinner.
MEANWHILE
"Agent Brossard, and Agent Bourbon, please report to the briefing room." The intercom in the DGSE headquarters
"I wonder what backwater assignment they want us on now." Lilly Bourbon sighs as she and her partner James Brossard head to the briefing room
"Hell if I know, probably just another dumb crime ring or something." James says as they enter
"Agents Bourbon and Brossard, reporting in sir!" Lilly says as she and James salute
"At ease. Please, take a seat." Captain Beauregard smiles
"So, sir what is it this time?" Lilly said taking a seat
"You two have been doing nothing but backwater jobs for years now, so its time you get your chance at the big shot. There is a small terror group calling themselves The Children of Carthage, they have connects with the IRA, the American mob, the Sicilian mob, the Yakuza, and likely many more. Now we intercepted this communication from a member known as MAG.' He says pressing a button on a remote causing a recording to play.
"Castle, this is Mage come in over." The voice which was distorted though a scrambler says
"Mage this is Castle we read you. It's a little early for a status report isn't it?" The other voice which was equally distorted said
"Yes, yes I know! But listen I found Princess! I found her!" The first voice says
"Say again Mage, it sounded like you said you found target Princess."
"I have found target Princess; repeat I have found target Princes. I advise we move the rest of the court to my location, repeat move the court to my location for the coronation." Mage says
"Roger, end transmission." The second voice says and the recording ends
"Now, we managed to trace the one called Mage, to a small town about 82 kilometers outside of Paris, now this town is nothing special and has no points of interest; except for the critically acclaimed boarding school Kadic Academy. Now the intelligence analysts believe that they plan on kidnapping a student and holding them for ransom. Now we do not have the exact student list, which is why we need you two to go there posing as groundskeepers and get a bug planted in the database. Any questions?"
"Sir, what is this court that they were talking about?" Lilly asks
"An excellent question agent. The Court of Carthage as it is called, as the leadership of the Children of Carthage, at the top there is Prince, after that we have Mage, then, we have priestess, and finally we have Knight. Now the Court are the most experienced and deadly of the entire group, if they are going to be conducting their operation personally, it is very important. Now get ready to be deployed."
"Yes sir!" They stand and salute before leaving
BACK AT KADIC
Aelita sighs as she eats her pizza "Jeremy, what are we going to do?"
"I am not sure Aelita. Running will only delay them finding you." He sighs as well "Hey who is that?" He points to a woman with long black hair talking with Mr. Jack
"I think that is a new art teacher." Aelita smiles
"Hey guys. I am Ms. Susan I am a new art teacher here at Kadic." The woman smiles and approaches Aelita and Jeremy
"Hello Ms. Susan, I am Jeremy and this is Aelita." He smiles as they both shake Ms. Susan's hand
"Well, it was nice meeting you both; I need to prepare for Monday." She smiles and walks off
"She seems nice." Aelita smiles finishing her pizza
"Yeah, there seems to be a lot of new faculty recently." Jeremy said finishing his as well "Want to head back to my room and study?"
"No thanks, I think I will just head back to my room and sleep." She sighs as she stands up and heads to her room. When she reaches her room she sighs and picks up her doll Mr. Puck. "Oh, Mr. Puck what are we going to do?" She sighs as she starts to change into her pjs "Well good night" She smiles and crawls into bed. That night she had a dream, she was inside her family's old cabin in the alps, but there were other kids there, and they were playing
"Princess Aelita! It is I, high Mage Beo! I shall help end the faimine!" One said
"No! It is I High Priestess Christies, praying to the gods is the only solution." Another said
"No! Neither shall work! I Sir Nelson shall defeat the dragon and end it!" a third said.
"Well, my princess what shall you choose. I your humble prince Fredrick, shall back your choice. ' a fourth says as the dream suddenly switches to something else
Meanwhile in the Admin building of the School
"Alright, it is midnight. Lets move Lilly!" James said as they entered the admin building, "The man database should be in the principal's office."
"Alright, I will take point." Lilly said as they began to move through the halls "There it is, on the right" Lilly opens the door and inserts a USB into the desktop computer under the principal's desk "Command this is Creole 1-2, bug is inserted, and you should have an uplink." She says into her radio
"Roger that Creole 1-2, we are reviewing the files now. What the hell? We have a match, but this can't be correct, the match is in our list of fugitives. Opening the file." The commander says "Oh my god, it cant be! Creole 1-2, get out of there! Repeat get out of there! This just went way above your pay grade! I am sending in the suits! Repeat I am sending in the suits!"
"Roger that." She takes the USB out of the computer "We need to get out, now! This job just went above our pay grade. Command is sending in the suits." She says as she exits the room
"Shit, when the suits are sent in." James says as he was knocked out by a punch to the face
"James!" Lilly yells
"Glory to Carthage!" A voice yells before Lilly is knocked out
