Crap. It's not a good feeling, when you wake up in a cold cell, chained up to a wall, with an insane headache and that you found out that one of the men you absolutely despise, is the father of your crush. was getting the chains off his wrist.
"Sorry." Austin said.
"For what?" I asked while picking the lock of the chains cuffed on my wrist, with a bobby pin.
"For not telling you that Aleksandr is my dad or was…" he replied.
"What do you mean 'was'?" I asked.
" I hated him ever since I was nine, at first he was like my hero, before me and my mom found what he was doing with Magnus, then when my mom confronted him about it, he just lost his mind, and tried to kill her. I witnessed the whole thing, and he used to abuse me, I would go to school with bruises and black eyes, and when people asked about it, I always made up some lie, to cover it up. I hated him ever since." He said.
"I'm so sorry." I said.
"Don't be, I'm kind of glad he disappeared from my life, my grades got better, I didn't have to worry whether my mom was alright or not, I just felt...better." He said.
"I have a question, if your mom was a spy and knew martial arts, why didn't she just kick his butt?" I asked.
"She did, when she found out what dad was doing and when he started abusing me, he got a black eye, broken ribs, and a broken nose." He replied.
"Seems pretty legit. Let's get out of here." I said.
I picked the lock of the cell and easily opened the door, no traps, and no alarms.
"That was way too easy." I said.
All of a sudden, this wall nearly cuts me in half, coming down on the exact spot where I was standing, leaving us completely trapped.
Ugh, I love being a spy, but this is making my life completely screwed over.
Get it together Ally, get it together!
"Ally…Ally, are you okay?"
"Did you say something?" I asked.
"No." he replied.
"Great. I'm hearing things now." I said.
"No you're not, did you forget you had a communicator in your ear." Stephanie said.
Duh, I totally forgot.
"Can you track our coordinates?" I asked.
"Already done, but the only problem is breaking you out." She said.
"Don't worry me and Austin got that covered." I said.
I walked toward the wall and knocked on it and a found an area, which was totally barren.
As we knocked down the wall's weakest link, Austin pulled out four guns, two for each of us. No bullets, just darts that make you unconscious for about 12 hours.
We made sure we had out bulletproof vests on, and made our escape.
At first only one guard appeared, and then yelled something in Icelandic, then tons more appeared.
We weren't going to attack, unless they did.
There were at least twenty men, cornering us.
"There's no point in trying, we've got you cornered, just turn yourselves in." One of them said in a rough Icelandic Accent.
"Fine" I said as I put the guns in my back pockets. "I give up." I said.
I sent a look to Austin that said 'play along.'
He did the same.
These guys are really not thinking straight, they should know that I don't give up easily.
As they urged us back towards the cell, I sent Dan the signal.
I flipped the one that had a grip of my right arm, elbowed a guy in the stomach, all of a sudden this really buff guy grabs me by my arms and lifts my arm, I tried kicking, but that didn't help, so I did what came to mind.
One head butt later…
'Jeez, head butts hurt both ways, never doing that again, at least he's unconscious.' I thought.
A couple minutes later, all of the men were either unconscious or getting there.
Except one, he had the audacity to actually shoot me.
He shot 3 bullets, as we crashed through the glass windows of the prison.
We dodged 2 of them, and guess who got shot, me. I can't stand guns.
it's actually quite painful.
So as Stephanie pulls up in a jet outside of the prison, I'm limping and slowly losing blood.
As we got up in the jet, I asked Stephanie, "What do we do now? Clearly our cover has been blown before we even started." I said, trying to stand up.
"Don't move. We have to get that bullet out." Stephanie said.
All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pinch in my arm as paramedics rush in.
"Good, you're awake." Stephanie said.
"We acquired enough information; well clearly they were planning the attack on September 11th, and they are stealing another plane, and aiming it at the white house, except without crashing the plane, they're going to drop an atomic bomb." Stephanie Said.
"So where are we going now?" I asked.
"Australia." She said with a very pleasant smile.
"What's in Australia?" I asked.
"One of the main men of the devious plan we're about to ruin, and we set up a meeting, Vivian." She replied.
"But what about Aleksandr?" I asked.
"Don't worry, I've got him covered." She said.
"So when do we get there?" I asked.
"Right now." She replied.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked.
"2 days." Dan replied from across the room.
"That means the attack is in 3 days." said
As we landed, I was still kind of freaked out since the attack is in 3 days and we're in Australia.
"Here are your supplies." Stephanie said.
"I got both of you a watch, which has a recorder in it so all you have to do is press this button and you'll be able to record hours of footage. Kara, for you is a necklace and earrings, the earrings are a tracking device, and the necklace is technically a deflector and a weapon, a deflector in case you're in a room full of lasers, but I doubt that'll ever happen and if you're really in a tight spot, just take the necklace off and press the middle once for it change into any weapon you want or need."
"Dan, take these keys, it's for your car, and everything you need is in there." Stephanie said.
"Well don't just stand there, go!" she said.
"Okay ,okay, don't get snippy." I replied.
As we left the jet, and approached the car, Dan's face lit up with happiness, as he started the car, and started driving to the designated area to meet
Courtney or "court" at his beach house,
"Hello, Courtney." I said.
"It's court, and please come in." he said in a regular Australian accent.
We walked into a lovely beach house, for a terrorist, he has really good taste in furniture.
"This is how it's going to work, we pretend to be escorting the president back to the white house with the bomb in his briefcase, it's set to go off as soon as we reach the white house, which could be in about a two hour radius going by jet." Court said.
I pretended to follow along for three hours, knowing when to attack if he knows there's a bomb on him, make sure that we do good pretending to be secret service.
I wonder how Kenny's doing protecting the president's life, should've got that job instead.
It's dark now, and we are getting ready to leave, then all of a sudden, when Austin's back is turned, two gunshots go through the window, knowing when and where to go as the bullets come in, we back flip over the couch, I realized it was a sniper from the U.S military, we caught eye contact.
'Hey, watch it, we got this, and watch where you're shooting those bullets.' I said in sign language to the sniper, the sniper nodded in agreement and left the scene.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Anyway, we were walking from the parking lot; we got jumped well sort of.
These guys from a gang spotted my necklace, and totally tried to grab it, as he tried, I held grip of his wrist, and twisted it, and one of his members tried to punch Austin in the face and I mean they tried. Austin finally got tired and flipped him, so technically it was going back and forth, I throw some punches, he throws some punches and we elbowed two guys in the throat, I think we broke they're trachea, but at least we called an ambulance for them, instead of just leaving them there.
So I realized that service is really good in Australia, but that's not the point.
We checked into this hotel, I checked my computer for my e-mail and for any updates from Stephanie.
Then I saw this e-mail from an unknown source, that said
'I know who you are spies, do you really think you can ruin my plans, think again.'
I tried tracking it, but I ended up getting dead ends.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine except for the fact that I got this e-mail and I can't track it, and it's making frustrated." I replied, and slightly pouted.
He started laughing. "Why are you laughing!?" I asked.
"Because it's cute, when you try so hard, and it's cute that you get easily offended." He replied.
Oh gosh, did he just call me cute?
I felt my face turning red and getting warm, I left the desk to my bag to get a bottle of water, and when I opened my bag to reach for my water, I found a bug. Not a disgusting bug, but a tracking and recording device sort of bug.
I crushed it with my hand, and then I decided to dump out my whole bag and found a threatening note.
' Dear Ally,
I know what you're doing, stop it.
You clearly don't know who you're up against, back off the case and maybe one of your family members won't die again.
Sincerely,
Kyla'
