So, here's chapter four!
Enjoy,
Joe PoV
I
woke up, not sure why I was so cheerful this particular moment.
Slowly, the events of yesterday started dripping back into my head.
Wing, the diamond and of course, the fact that Wing was now, sort of,
part of the team.
Wing had explained the whole story to my
family. As far as Wing wanted to tell her story. She refused to talk
about her parents and how she got into criminal activities, so it
wasn't much.
She told us about her life on the streets after
her parents died in a car accident. Uncle Sean winced at that part,
and about how hard it was taking care of Mackenzie the right way. How
she had tried to keep her sister of the street. While she herself
tried to find work and go around with the small amount of money the
government gave her. How she finally gave up and went stealing, small
things nobody would notice, like barely out of the stock food. One
person noticed and it hadn't been a cruel manager or a gang leader
with a gun. It had been the guy that had threatened to get to
Mackenzie if she and her talents didn't work for him. She had said
yes, having no choice in the matter, and started to steal bigger
stuff. Fighting of the other, bigger and stronger, males in the
process. That and the fact she grew up on the street explained why
she was so tough and well, hard.
She explained and partly showed
us by countless bruises and scars, how this mysterious guy and his
men had threatened and hurt her in the process of her stealing the
diamonds.
It wasn't much, but it was enough to convince my
family. We loved easily, I noticed the sorry looks on my brothers'
faces and Leila had put a comforting arm around Wing.
Uncle Sean
stood a bit away from the scene, lost in his own thoughts.
By the
time we were done, they all agreed that Wing had to stay, not leaving
her a choice in that
matter too. To quote Kevin: "You're not going back there, as long
as there are stars in the sky."
Told you he was the deep
one…
Anyways, after that came the talk with the boss. We had
all waited outside, leaving Wing and our boss alone.
It had went
on for almost an hour and I think I was the only one that wasn't
nervous. I knew Wing would have the boss around her little fingers in
no time.
Naturally, I was right. More then right to be
honest.
The boss loved Wing. He was extremely enthusiastic
about her. Calling her 'a blessing for our team'.
I had never
seen the boss this… hyper.
Wing just laughed mysteriously.
Earning amused, but also confused looks from my family.
She said
she had just told the boss a few of her better actions, shrugging it
like it wasn't really something to get hyper about.
Uncle Sean,
un characteristically off, announced it was time for dinner and
everybody was asking Wing about herself. What she liked, what her
specialty was, what she didn't like, how long she had taken care of
Mackenzie. And so on, and so on. All except for Uncle Sean, again. I
shrugged it off. He probably was worried about D-corp. and
stuff.
Wing answered the questions that got fired at her short and
clear, telling them if she didn't wanted to answer. Giving comments
here and there and almost made Frankie choke in his food of laughter.
The nicest thing about dinner was that Wing, like there was no
other thing to do, sat down next to me.
Mackenzie crawled on her lap.
Did I mention
everybody adored little shy Mackenzie?
Well
they did. A lot.
I had the idea that she was going to find out
what the word 'spoiled' meant in the not-so-far future.
Even
I couldn't help but smile when the little girl fell asleep on
Wing's lap.
After that, came the best part of the evening.
Wing had asked if there was any place to sleep for Kenzie.
Naturally there was,
our home was huge.
So I decided to guide them to their rooms.
We had stood there for almost fifteen minutes.
Staring at the peaceful face of Mackenzie.
"Thank
you Danger. Thanks for doing this for her, for me." Wing had
whispered out of the blue. She tuned around and hugged me, for the
second time that day.
"You're welcome." I had whispered
back, placing my head on hers.
I felt her relax, and then
suddenly stiffen. She looked up to me and quickly let me go.
"So, yeah. Don't expect me to say that again. Enjoy it while you
can." She laughed and punched my arm rather hard.
I didn't
wince and just brought her to her room, across Mackenzie's slightly
smaller room and next to me and my brother's.
"Damn, you
guys are rich." Wing stated. Looking her room up and down. "you
got to much money or what?"
"Not really."
"I say you
have."
"Then you're probably right."
She nodded approvingly.
"Danger, tell me
about your family, I don't really know any of them except you.
Could be handy when I'm sort of living with you, don't you
think." She said, sniffing the like
strawberry smelling sheets of the bed.
"Well, Leila is also
pretty new. She joined our team last year, after getting noticed by
the company for her high technical skills. She updated all the
computers at the orphanage she lived in. we're all orphans
actually. My parents, and with that Nick's, Kevin's and
Frankie's, died mysteriously eleven years ago. Uncle Sean took us
in; he didn't mean to make us agents. We didn't even know he was
one until then, but the company thought it was perfect. I don't
really know how Uncle Sean became an agent. Nick, though he's the
youngest, became our team leader. He's incredible with codes and
solving problems and I'm convinced he has a photographic memory."
I told her while she examined her room.
"That's cool. So
what's your part in this thing Danger?" she asked. Pulling open
the curtains. Swiftly looking over her shoulder at where I was now
seated. I sat on her bed and she jumped on it. "Come on Danger,
what's your special
talent?" she laughed.
"I'm sort of the man of action, you
know, that's why I was send to the museum that night."
she
looked at me. "Action man, like, Barbie's boyfriend?" she said.
Referring to the 16 cm doll.
"That's Ken."
"How
should I know?"
"You're the girl."
"I hated
Barbie."
"Should've guessed."
She just smiled and came
to sit next to me and poked me in my side. "For an action guy
you're awfully timid. You scared of me?"
I laughed and turned
around. She just sat there, her legs crossed.
So tempting…
I
grabbed her shoulders, pushed her back on the bed and started
tickling her.
"Me!" I yelled while she shrieked and laughed
hysterically. "I'm part of the best agent-team the company has
ever had! I can infiltrate everywhere; you've never seen a better
under-cover agent then me. I beat you
at the museum."
Tears were running over her cheeks. "Stop it!
Please, don't!" Her black hair was spread all over the bed sheets
and she was struggling to get me off.
"Not so tough now
anymore are you little Wing." I smirked.
Then suddenly, before
I knew what was happening to me, I was flipped and turned and I
wasn't the one in charge anymore. Wing on the other hand was
sitting on my back, holding my hands above my head.
"Beat me?
In your dreams Danger." She whispered in my ear.
I grunted in
the pillow my head was now lying on. "Kay, ine! Ouch! Lemme go!"
I told her, slightly muffled by the pillow.
She sat back, her
head leaning against the wall. I bet she was just dieing of laughter
behind those glimmering silver eyes. Damn, were they beautiful. More
beautiful then any diamond that D-corp. could ever steal.
"Aww, don't be mad Danger. I beat you fair and square. I want to
hear more about your family!" she said, coming closer again.
Brushing her fingers through my hair.
"Pussy."
"Okay
fine, I'll go on." I laughed with her. "What do you want to
know?"
"Well, I know you became agents after your parents
died. Your mysterious uncle Sean, who was already some sort of a spy,
took you in. You did the training and became the best team of this
company."
I frowned. "Right and I told you about Nick and me.
So Kevin," I started "Kevin is the best fighter we have, he's
kickass at Marshall Arts. Taekwondo, karate, you know, ninja
stuff."
She lifted an eyebrow, witch made her look very... sexy
in a way…
"seriously, he looks so… nice."
"I know,
I mean, he is.
But you surely don't want to mess with him. Especially when you're
messing with someone he loves. So that guy that hurt you better watch
out!"
For the first time I saw a bit of shyness in
her. "So you think they, like, like
me?" She asked.
"Absolutely."
"Wicked."
"Well,
Leila's pretty obvious. Like Nick she's a genius with technical
stuff, she designed almost all of our gadgets and Min." before she
could ask I added: "our main computer."
She ah'd, but kept
her mouth shut while I continued.
"Frankie, he's like an
annoying little brother gone smart. In a good way. He can get in
anywhere, finds ways through the most complicated maps and he even
managed to get into Nick's personal computer. He signed his own
death with that, but it's impressive."
She laughed. "I like
the sounds of him. Like the sounds of all of you for that matter,
you're a wicked little team."
With a smirk on my face I added.
"Now joined by an even more wicked, crazy girl."
She nodded in
agreement. "Take it and be happy."
"So you don't know a lot about your so
said uncle, huh?" She continued.
I shrugged; Uncle Sean had
always been somewhat mysterious and rough. "Not really, we only saw
him at mom's birthday sometimes. He's always been a little
strange, but he's a… nice guy."
"If he's anything like
you, I bet he… isn't." she joked.
"Take it and be
happy." I told her.
We both started laughing. I really liked
her laugh, this real laugh and not the wicked smirk.
I
noticed we were sitting in what an outsider would call a rather
intimate position. We were seated really close, facing each other.
Bend towards each other while we were talking. I liked this position,
but someone;
witch was obviously not going to be her, should be at least a little
responsible.
"You better go to sleep now too. The WPC will
probably make you to some tests and training tomorrow."
She
smiled, knowing what I was doing.
"If you say so Danger, if
you say so." She whispered, bringing her face even closer to me.
I
gulped and she laughed, sliding of the bed. Leaving me in this
crouched position.
I smiled to myself and said, standing up and
ready to leave her room: "sweet dreams Wing."
I had almost
closed the door when I heard an almost unnoticeable whisper: "no
doubt, pretty face, no doubt."
Now, after a night of sleep and stretching in my way to comfortable bed I decided that surely was the best moment of that day.
I walked out of our shared room,
noticing Wing's new room was still shut, but Mackenzie's was wide
open.
While putting on my shirt I peeked around her corner, the
guestroom, scrap that, Mackenzie's
room, was empty.
"Hey there Joe. Want some scrambled
eggs?" Kevin said to me as I walked into the kitchen.
I nodded
my agreement, while holding back a yawn. I noticed Leila, Mackenzie
and Frankie were already here. The last two seated next to each other
and bowed over some sort of paper. A delicious looking breakfast
standing in front of them.
Leila was busy with something that
made an impression of being way too technical for this time in the
morning.
Mackenzie made a bit of a shy impression, her plate
didn't seem to be touched, as she was looking at what Frankie was
showing her.
It was the map of the house and he was telling her
how to use our semi-secret passageways. I took the seat next to her
and nudged her so I'd get her attention.
"Hey there
Mackenzie, the eggs are nice, you should eat some. I swear they're
not poisoned."
"Coming from you, I take that as a compliment
Joe." Kevin said. "You're eggs are ready, grab the other stuff
yourself. I'll go wake Nick and your new girlfriend." Kevin
winked so I knew he didn't mean it.
"Sure, go pester me for
helping her!" I answered and I heard his roar of laughter from up
the stairs.
Only a second later
a very unhealthy looking Uncle Sean came through the door that lead
to his private-bedroom.
He looked like he hadn't slept all
night and he hadn't bothered to shave or wash either.
"Hey
Uncle Sean. What's up?" I asked, making Frankie and Kenzie look
up and then look back down.
Leila looked at Uncle Sean, a look of
surprise in her green eyes.
Uncle Sean seemed startled by my
question, but he picked up quickly. "Hey Joe, nothing much. Just,
you know, making plans and arrangements for Wing today. It's tiring
but appreciating, my job. It is."
I nodded, uncle Sean worked
way to hard for his own health.
Leila offered him some breakfast and he thankfully
took it, stuffing his mouth while Kevin, Nick and Wing came walking
down the stairs.
"Wow, that smell's good." Leila said,
taking a seat next to me. Nick, usually the early bird, naturally
took a seat next to Leila and wished her a good morning. Earning
himself a smile.
Sheesh, why did people who were in love never
seemed to notice that they were in love?
"Good morning, by the way." Wing said. I smiled at her.
*beep* *beep*
Nick's spy-phone went off. He took it and read
the message from the company.
"wing." He said, earning
himself a surprised look form said person
who was currently taking a bite of a very stuffed looking pancake.
"Mwahyeah?"
Nick laughed his rare smile. "So it seems
your intelligence tests and information folders are currently mailed
to and printed by Min. The boss said you already proved your bodily
strength and things you'll be ready to go with the team any moment.
They're not sure in what position yet, but helpful you will be. Oh,
and he wants us al gathered at 02:00 exact, from what I get, our next
assignment just checked in at the airport."
The excitement
usually following such messaged got delayed by Uncle Sean, who seemed
to be chocking in his scrambled eggs. He really needed some good
sleep.
'''—''—''—''—''—''
"Come on Kenzie, you can beat him. I do all the
time." Frankie told Mackenzie, who I was currently explaining how
our game station worked. Wing was downstairs in the Jonas
Headquarters, taking the tests and getting ready to become a solid
member of our team.
I really liked the idea of that.
"Frankie, you always win because you use Leila's cheat codes."
Kevin said lazily from the chair he was half lying, half sitting on.
"Do not."
"Are to."
"Do not."
"Are to."
"Are to."
"Do not."
"Hah, gotcha!"
I rolled my eyes and focused on the game when said
cheatcode-girl walked into our room.
"Hey guys." Leila said,
being shortly followed by Nick. She looked even smaller then she was.
(About 5.4) standing next to him.
"Hey Les, will you please
stop teaching Frankie cheatcode's?"
"He actually used them,
did they work nicely Tank?"
Kevin now rolled his eyes.
Nick laughed, standing awfully close to Leila. "Hey guys, it's almost two, we should head down, I think Wing's about done."
When
together in the basement, we found Wing sitting in a chair, her feet
on the table, reading one of the information-folders.
"Hey
Wings." I said, dropping down next to her, while Nick and Leila
prepared the meeting with the boss.
"Hi Danger." She
answered, looking up from her folder and smiling.
"How'd your tests go?"
Fine, I guess. I'm rather in the field, kicking
some bad guy-ass."
I laughed. I knew exactly what she meant.
"Listen up guys, it's almost two sharp." Leila announced.
"Where's Sean?"
"I'm here, I'm here." Said Uncle
Sean yelled.
*beep* *beep*
"hello gentlemen and
women."
"Hey boss." We all said.
"How nice to see
you all, especially our new face, how are you Wing?"
Wing
smirked and glanced at me. "Better then ever."
"Good,
good. Now about your new assignment-" I interrupted the boss.
"Just one question before, is Wing coming."
"absolutely."
Came my answer and I sat back, feeling Wings smile almost burning at
me.
"Okay guys. You're going undercover…"
''—''—''—''—''—''
"I'm in position." I whispered in my hidden earpiece. Holding a towel in my right and a tray in my left hand.
We were at a party, a very rich party to be exact. Our
target: a very rich man called Harold Cunning. One of D-corps
money-makers, according to WPC investigation.
Tonight was a cover
for a secret meeting with some D-corp. donors. Our job: find out who
he was meeting; find out where they came from and most importantly,
where they were going now.
"So am I." Kevin's voice said. Kevin and I were covered up as waiters at this so called party, witch a lot of people seemed to enjoy right now. I saw multiple rich looking men with barely dressed girls on their laps and a lot of other people were swinging on the expensive looking dance-floor.
"This is fun." I heard Wing say, she was positioned outside. She was pretending to be a guest at the party and was supposed to watch from outside right now. "Wait, that's your guy. I'm coming in after him, watch me." She said.
I shifted, time to work. I
walked towards the crowd and made my way through it. I was supposed
to follow our target together with Wing. He was probably dangerous,
but we could handle it. Kevin and Nick, covered as the bartender,
would be watching out for the guys he was going to meet.
Leila
was filling in for the DJ, she knew him from a music-program
exposition and it was easy to get him to pretend being sick.
I
had to admit, Leila was good. She would be looking out for threads
and traps while we were busy with our targets.
"Wow, that
guy is fat.
I'm sure he isn't stealing stuff. He wouldn't even fit through
the front doors properly." Wing stated.
"Be nice."
"Believe me, I am
being nice." She answered in a whisper, now that she had entered
the building.
I walked towards the entrance, wanting to know what
Wing was wearing to this expensive party.
I faintly heard Nick
say he found a suspect when I saw her.
She was wearing a beautiful, glittering red dress
that fitted tightly around her shaped, muscled body. Her sneakers
replaced by red heels. It was really weird to see her so female-like.
Still, she looked stunning… She usually was and I still, with
or without make-up. Liked her eyes better.
I faintly grinned when she softly told me my tight
waiter's blouse would make those girls on expensive laps wish they
were on my
lap.
"You're pretty stunning yourself." I told her.
Then,
the loop of a gun got poked in my back.
"Yeah, very
pretty. Almost a waste that we have to shoot her too." A voice
whispered in my ear. Unfortunately for him, it was the ear with the
microphone. Making the whole team aware of the danger immediately.
Also unfortunately, again for him, I wasn't really impressed.
I grabbed the gun and sharply turned it around, making him
whimper when I dislocated his fingers. "Yeah, what a waste." I
whispered annoyed, before hitting him on the head with the gun.
Making him fall down immediately.
"Problem solved." I
reported.
"Nice job Danger, but we don't know if there are
more of them. Over to plan B." I heard Nick say.
"The
microphones Press? Already?"
I could hear Wing resist too, she
wanted to do this right.
"Kevin and I got a lot of suspects
we're sure about. The rest probably won't be really important.
Sorry guys, but after a gun attack I don't think it's safe for us
to go with the original plan." He explained.
"It's okay
President. K2, can you tell us who to mark with the microphones?" I
asked.
The original plan was to listen and observe with our
own ears and eyes, but I didn't want to risk someone in the
hospital wit gunshots. I shuddered at the thought.
We were well
aware how dangerous our job was, the microphones would be enough to
listen to their conversation. It wouldn't be as good, but it was
better then nothing.
We spend about half an hour to attach
the microphones and trying not to get noticed. As I observed before,
Wing was extremely good at this, even with the glamour-dress she
seemed to fade away in her surroundings.
Everything went well and
we all went home with nice feelings about this mission. Wing was very
excited and already looking forward to the next one, wondering if
she'd be able to kick some ass then.
We should've known there was something wrong.
When we came home, it was awfully
quiet in the house.
"Hello?" Nick yelled. Usually Frankie
and Uncle Sean would wait for us to come home from a mission. I
figured Mackenzie would do the same, but none of them were there.
We searched the kitchen and living room, without finding
anything. Kevin figured they would be in the Headquarters then.
They
were, at least, one of them was.
Uncle Sean was lying, face down on the floor, clearly unconscious, a heavy looking stone angel with one wing lying next to him.
That angel should be standing upstairs, next to
the door and it was supposed to have two wings.
"Uncle Sean!
What happened?" Kevin yelled, kneeling
down to see if he was okay.
Uncle Sean growled. "Large men…
too many… took… children…"
Wing screamed, her eyes
wide in agony. Nick gasped. "Frankie, and, and…"
"Mackenzie!! No, please, this can't be true. Tell me he's
lying! Mackenzie!" Wing sobbed.
Before I knew it, my arms were around her,
soothing her. "shh." I whispered.
"Don't you Shh me
Danger…" she started, but stopped, burying her head in my chest.
"Please shh me…" she whispered.
Nick and Leila
both kneeled down next to Kevin.
"Uncle Sean, where are they.
Where's Frankie! Where did they take them?"
"Don't know…
tried to stop them… failed…" uncle Sean groaned.
I had no clue what happened, but I did know that my little brother and our new found little girl Mackenzie were gone, kidnapped and probably in great danger…
hope you liked
it!
After this comes the more agent based story, this is the last
introduction and explanation chapter (I hope)
just let me know
what you think okay?
Love, silver
