Hello everyone! Okay, another chapter, so now we see what all this is about! I only have like a month of school left, so once that is over, my writing will increase! Reviews are greatly appreciated, thank you.

We entered the building, and walked down a long hallway, coming to a steel door with a palm and retina scanner. Once Alfred ha his eyes and palm scanned, it was my turn. A red laser flicked upon myeyes, and my palm felt a slight pricking sensation, but that was normal for this model. The door slid open, revealing a large room filled with computers and people operating them, lights blinking and many voice intermingling with one another. Alfred led me to an elevator, pushing a button labeled "B18", and we began to go down. After 5 minutes, the movement stopped, but the doors didn't open. I turned to Alfred, but and he was smiling, and began to explain, "Don't worry, it's not a malfunction, it just needs a blood test, watch." He pushed a smaller black button, and a needle appeared. He pricked his finger, and I soon saw it on the needle. He motioned for me to do the same, and as I did, I could feel as my blood was taken in by the needle.

After a few seconds, I heard a beep, and the elevator doors opened. We stepped into a darkened room, only a screen on the wall directly in front of us, some of the light blocked by a dark figure.

"Hello gentlemen, Jones, Mr. Kirkland, I presume you know why you're here?" The figure, who was the leader of the agency, said.

"Ah, actually boss-man, Ben, he doesn't know yet. He just knows it's a matter of national security." Alfred said, rubbing the back of his neck. The figure sighed, and some light came into the room, of what appeared to be a very organized office, with a few stacks of paper around.

"Jones, I told you not to call me that. It kind of ruins the effect of my authority, you see? I'm sorry if his actions bother you in any way Mr. Kirkland. He is very….excitable. By the way, the names's Benjamin L. Franklin, but please, just call me Franklin." Franklin said as he shook my hand. 'Benjamin Franklin, wasn't that the name of a famous American?' Was my only thought while I shook his hand.

"Okay, since Jones here didn't tell you the details of the mission, I will." He said, sitting back down in his chair. "Apparently, we've been getting threat messages from an organization that calls themselves the Society of the Invisible Night's, or S.I.N. as we refer them. The messages say they will overthrow the United States, and then the world. Their leader's name is unknown, and only referred to as 'Leader'. His nationality, from what we can get from the audio messages, he is of Russian descent. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find and stop S.I.N., and take their leader into custody." Franklin said with a tone of finality.

"You know I'd never pass on a mission like this Ben! I'm in!" Alfred shouted excitedly, almost knocking me over.

"Agent Kirkland, do you accept?"

"Yes Sir Franklin. I accept." I said, nodding my head.

"Sir? Isn't that like a knight or something? Boss, are you a knight?"

"No. Okay, goodbye, and best of luck!" Franklin said as we walked out. Well, at least we know what we're dealing with, but that makes it just as much harder. I wondered if the man on the plane had anything to do with this S.I.N.

"Okay, first we have to find their HQ, and how we do that is we find a member and monitor all their contacts, then pinpoint the location of those they contact, look through the criminal database, and pinpoint their location. The person we're looking for is the man they call Leader, so we'll search for that name the most. Do you understand Alfred?" I said after we left the agency, a laptop on my, well, lap.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but when do we eat?!" Alfred cried, saying it as though he were a whiny 5 year old asking for a toy.

"Later! This is more important!" I replied, checking through a mister Adrian Popov's criminal record. He was apparently the man from the airplane, and as I thought, a member of S.I.N. I tapped into the most recent of his phone calls, which was with Leader, but the number was hidden. Well, I could fix that. I sent in a code, which decoded the number's precise location, telling me exactly where this so called "Leader" made the call.

"Siberia, Russia." I said with a smirk.

"Say what now?" Was he really not paying attention?

"Siberia, Russia you twit! That's where their HQ must be! And it looks to be a very remote part of it as well. Before we do that however, we need to pay a visit to a Mr. Adrian Popov…"

"Can we eat first? I'm Huuuuuuungrry!" I sighed, was food really all he thought about?

"Fine, we can go stop for lunch." I said, and soon we were speeding down the road at what I believed to be 100 mph, towards a McDonalds.

"Okay, I'll take 5 cheeseburgers, 2, no, make that 3 milkshakes, 4 orders of fries, and 2 apple pies. Also, can you add an extra-large Coke with that?" Alfred shouted, the blonde woman just putting down the order as if that were normal. She looked to me, with a bored look that quickly changed to what? Interest?

"What would you like sir?" She said, trying to make herself more attractive.

"I'll just take an iced-tea, thank you." I said, my voice apparently making her swoon. Were all American women attracted to foreigners? I don't know. We sat down at a seat next to the window, and began to discuss the mission.

"Okay, so Leader-dude is in Siberia? Damn, and I hate it when it gets cold! But then again, sometimes the cold means snow and hot chocolate!" Alfred blabbered on like a chattering monkey, and I know, I've had to go to a few places, and they were EVERYWHERE.

"Yes Alfred. But first we need to go to the prison and speak to a prisoner named Adrian Popov. I already told you this, what, were you not listening?"

"Nah, I was too hungry to think. Speaking of hungry, where's our food? Actually, where is everyone? This place is usually packed." I realized this too, but before I could react, a large sound rang in my ears, and I was hit with a massive force. I can't move. Why can't I move?, I thought, as I blacked out. The last thing I saw was Alfred, shielding me from a massive flame. Then everything turned to black…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Okay, chapter 3 is done. And a cliff hanger! That's all I have for now, so thanks!
