Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It.
"Are you sure about this April?" I ask concerned.
"Jack, I mean sir, I saw the shadow clan tattoo on her neck! It's exactly like yours!" April exclaims.
"She must be new or something. I've never seen her been." I say looking down at my desk and thought over Kit's (if that's even her name) facial features.
"With those skills, she can't be new. She has to be at least my rank so she might have been recruited when you were still there."
"Her brown eyes, her smile, her voice, that's why she seemed so familiar. That's why I feel that way when I see her."
"Her name is Kim. She dyed her hair blonde, but you probably already know that because of your observation skills."
"Yes sir. Why do you think she's here?" April asks confused.
"I don't know. They probably want to spy on us to see our tactics. This clan is growing rapidly and we're getting noticed because of killing other assassins. They probably want to get us from the inside."
April nods. "You can get the information from her. You obviously remember her and she remembers you." She suggests.
"No, I would. Sure she sees me as a friend but she's not going to tell me willingly." I say.
It breaks my heart to think she just said yes to the date for a mission. She's a traitor.
"But you're going on a date with her." April blurts out before covering a mouth with her hands.
"How did you know that?" She stays silent. "April!" I exclaim.
"I overheard when I was coming back her to tell you about her. What I mean by overheard is I pressed my ear against the door." She admits looking down.
"Why? I'm your clan leader and you decide to spy on me!" I exclaim.
"I wasn't spying on you! I was focusing on Kim not you! I just happened to be spying on her when you asked her out!" She exclaims right back.
"What does me going on a date with her have to do with her being a traitor?" I ask stupidly.
"I already know the answer to that."
"Well, it'll be easier to get answers. She has trust in you for some reason. You can easily use that as a weakness." April says.
"And you can't do this because…"
"Jack, why don't you want to do this?! You said it yourself last week! You want to see the Shadow clan burn and this is your chance! Just get her to admit she's apart of the clan and get some damn information!" April exclaims but then covered her mouth with her hand. "Sorry sir." She apologizes quietly.
"No, it's alright. She's a traitor and if I have to go on a date with her to get information I will." I say.
"What if you don't get anything?"
I shrug. "Would we torture her like Frank to get answer?" She asks with a devilish smirk.
"No!" I exclaim and she looks at me confused. "I mean, she's trained to not give in; especially from torture. We'll have to wait it out."
"But if we wait it out she could escape easily and go back to her clan with everything they need. We can't trust her Jack, you know that right?" She asks me concerned.
"I know very well we can't trust her or anyone from that God forbidden clan." I grit my teeth.
April nodded. "Um, I'm going to go back to recruit practice and send some up to you."
She got up and walked toward the door. "Oh, April." I call out.
She looks over her shoulder. "Shout at me like that again; don't be surprised if you're get bumped from judging and possibly a rank."
She looks down before walking out.
"God I hate the attitude on her sometimes…Kim. She's a traitor. I never thought I'd think that. We were best friends and…I was hoping we would be more but the schedules for the shadow clan didn't allow it. I never thought she'd do this. Well it's not like she's coming for me; she didn't know I'm the leader. She's coming for plans to our attack strategy so they'll probably attack. I have to make the decision already because if I let Kim go, they'll have an upper hand."
The day went by pretty fast. I just stayed in the office asking new recruits the same questions, though my mind was in a different place. Kim to be exact.
Anyway, I'm done with all the recruits and I'm making my way to the cafeteria for dinner. Someone taps on the shoulder while I was in the tunnel. I turn to see Kim or, as she's going by, Kit.
"Very creative name." I think a little bitter.
"Hi." She says with a bright smile.
Turn back in front of myself.
"Hey." I reply a bit too cold.
From the corner of my eye I see her frown a little. I sigh.
"Sorry, I had a stressful day."
"I understand. So, are you going to pick me up for the date or we're meeting each other?" She asks.
"I pick you at your room by eight PM." I answer.
"Ok. So what are you doing after diner?"
"Paper work." I lied.
"I can't stand her presence right now because of the fact that she lied. Then again she is apart of that clan."
Kim nods as I open the door to the cafeteria for her. She stepped in and walked to the buffet. I walk over to April's table.
"Jerry, April I have to tell you something." I say. "Follow me."
Jerry and April got up. They're both in their uniforms just no mask. I lead them to a table in the corner away from everyone.
"What is it sir?" Jerry asks first sitting down.
"It's about Kit. April has figured out she's an undercover spy for the shadow clan. Her real name is Kim Crawford. We need to keep an eye on her. April for the Friday I want you to be with her all day long. You're attached to the hip all day until eight. Jerry, you keep an eye on her when she's not with April." I explain.
"Uh…but I have a thing at seven." April says quietly and quite awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, April, but you two, Rudy and Bobby are the only ones I can trust to keep this a secret from anyone. You have established a friendship with her you could use that as an excuse to hang out with her. Jerry can't really do that because he's a dude and it'll be really awkward to do something like…bra shopping. Again, I'm sorry April. You're going to have to cancel your plans for the sake of this clan."
April frowns a little before nodding. She crosses her arms and looks at the ground still frowning. Jerry frowns a little too but seems to be thinking about sometime before smiling lightly. I look between the two.
"Did I miss something? I mean I know April has to cancel her plans with Smooth, but why is Jerry happy all of a sudden? Wait a minute…Jerry likes April. I'm probably really late. Whatever. That's none of my business."
"You're dismissed. Remember this is confidential." I say. They both nod before getting up to leave.
