WHAT DO YOU KNOW!

Both siblings pointed a finger at each other.
"He did it"
"She did it" they said simultaneously.
"Why are either of you in here?"
"Well . . . there I was cleaning the walls-"Luke began "-when I stumbled upon this hidden room"
Even Melissa wasn't impressed with his lie.
"The only thing of yours that's ever clean is your calendar" Melissa laughed.
"Speaking of calendar dates-"he smirked evilly. She shot a threating glare.
"Why would you hide this place? It's awesome" Luke picked up a sword off a holster on the wall.
"First of all: don't touch that. Second of all: that's exactly why" Jay said. In fact, there were lots of weapons on the wall. Daggers, swords, knives, he even had other stuff in display cases. Things in the display cases consisted of detonators and grenades.
"I mean, I get why you wouldn't tell princess lollipop-"Luke began, and received a scowl from his sister "-but you could've told me."
Luke received a disapproving stare from his father.
"You both can forget about this room completely, because it's off limits" Jay told them sternly.
"You'd think I have an all-access pass by now" Melissa muttered to herself.
"Debriefing in five" Jay told them, as all of them left the room.
"Oh were totally going back" Luke said, once his father was out of sight.
"Don't you ever learn anything?" Melissa asked irritably.
"Don't you ever take risk?"
"I do take risk" she retorted.
"Prove it" he said with a smug grin and walked off. She growled angrily and followed him.
He is so not winning this!

Racheal, Jay, Marie, and both teenagers stood in the main room.
"If we want to be one step ahead of the enemy, we need intel. There's a base nearby that's hooked up to the central computers." Jay said commandingly.
"So you infiltrate?" Luke asked, and Jay nodded.
"We'll download the computer's information onto a flash drive" he finished.
"Aww a daddy-daughter mission . . . this should be funny" Luke said with a snigger.
"If we wanted something to make us laugh, we'd look at you try to add" Melissa shot back. Luke stuck out his tongue at her immaturely, and she mimicked him.
"You'll have plenty of time to help him improve his math skills, because you two are going" Jay told her. Racheal spoke up.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? There both . . ."
"Immature teenagers, who act like six year olds?" Jay finished for her.
"Pretty much"
"We do not" they both whined. All three adults stared at them with blank expressions.
"You'll both be taking the bikes, and I'll give you the coordinates" Jay instructed.
TT
Both teenagers were on their motorcycles, in an alley, waiting to leave. Jay stood beside them, giving them final instructions. Luke had a utility belt full of different gadgets, and he wore a Kevlar suit. Melissa had her usual gear on.
"Complete radio silence" Jay instructed.
"Wait, who's in charge?" Melissa asked "It's me, right?"
"No arguing, and work together"
"Yeah, but who's in charge?" Melissa asked impatiently.
". . . Luke is in charge" he said promptly. He stood a few steps back, and gave them the signal to go.
Melissa didn't have time to question him, before Luke was speeding off.
TT
Luke is in charge? Were we talking about the same Luke? She continued to run her father's words in her head. She'd been working with him for a long time, but when he comes along- he's the chosen one? This wasn't fair!
At least a peaceful ride would clear her head. That was, until she head Luke's voice.
"Were approaching the base, pull over" he instructed. Like he's the boss of me! Technically . . . he is, but still!
She parked her bike on the side of the road, close to his. It was mostly trees around, which gave them good cover. The base was far from the city, a deserted woodland area.
"We'll get in, and get out. Stealth mode" he informed her. Was that the best he could come up with? She could have come up with that.
After a short walk, they reached the base. They took cover behind a tree. With laser-like precision, Luke threw a small disk under the camera, which attached to the wall. It let out a small electrical surge, which looked like it didn't do anything.
The guard watching the cameras noticed that one screen fizzed, but he saw nothing.
The two teenagers stood on top of the roof. Luke opened up a vent that let downward.
"Great plan" she deadpanned.
"Can't go wrong with the classics" he grinned. She climbed in, and he followed. They climbed further until Luke spoke up.
"Now that I think about it . . . I should probably be in front"
"Oh now you say something?" She asked exasperatedly. They both shimmied around for a couple of minutes. They ended up face to face, in the vent.
"Well . . . this is awkward" Luke said.
"Oh yeah . . . great plan" she said annoyed.
"You move back, I'll move forwards" he said. They attempted it, which eventually worked. He led the way, occasionally looking down into each room.
"Weapons room . . . Conference room . . . Break room" Luke murmured to himself, studying each vent opening.
"After this, you want to get donuts?"
"Are you serious?"
"Well, I just thought you'd . . ."
"Of course I want donuts"
"Aha!" Luke said in a whisper "This is the control room"
"Ok so now what?"
"Uh . . . can you reach into my utility belt in the back, and hand me a smoke bomb?" He asked awkwardly. She sighed, and reach in, and handed it to his waiting hand.
"Also the small screwdriver" he said suddenly.
"Do you even put anything in the front?" she asked, reaching for the screwdriver.
"That tickles" he giggled "and besides, that's where I keep my mints and my gum, of course."
He slowly unscrewed the screws of the vent covering, and caught it before it fell. He brought it up and placed it in front of him. He dropped the smoke bomb, and jumped down.
Painful grunts, and 'owws' filled the room. When the smoke cleared, both siblings stood over a group of unconscious men.
"I'll do my thing, you watch for any unwanted guest" Luke said.
As much as Melissa hated to admit it, he wasn't the worst leader. She still thought she would have been better.
A few long minutes later, Luke finally announced that he was done.
"Let's get out of here" Melissa said quickly. They exited the control room, and walked down the halls cautiously.
They came to a hallway that went two different ways.
"It's this way" they said simultaneously, going two separate ways.
"No it's this way" they said at the same time again.
"I'm leader, I call the shots" Luke commanded.
"Don't get a big head, fearless leader, it's not over yet" Melissa reminded him.
"She's right about that" A group of agents stood at the end of the hallway they came from. A man stood in front of them was the one who spoke.
"Brian? Is that you?" Luke grinned "Wow that Botox worked, you don't look a day over fifty!"
"Get them!" Brian yelled angrily. They didn't argue this time, and ran down the hallway to the left. After many turns, they eventually came to a dead end.
"Were going to have to fight our way out" Luke decided. The agents advanced, and both siblings drew their weapons. Luke had two large daggers.
Everyone rushed at each other, and it was an all-out war.
Eventually, most men were down. Luke was fighting two men at once, and it was Brian versus Melissa. He took out two daggers of his own.
He aimed at her throat, but she dodged, and punched him in the gut. When he doubled over, she kicked his face.
Once he recovered, he rushed at her in a football-like tackling pose, and slammed her against the wall. This did a number on her. He took this opportunity to punch her repeatedly. She was left completely incapacitated. Luke had took down both men, when he saw him.
"Hey! Get away from her!" he yelled furiously. As much as they fought, she was still his sister.
Hey rushed at him, and kicked him away from her. Luke did a flying back swing kick to his jaw. He laid on the ground, groaning painfully. There was pure hatred in Luke's eyes. He was a great deal like his father, more then he knew even.
He rose a (already bloodstained) knife. He felt something stopping him from bringing the knife down. Melissa weakly held his arm.
"Don't" she looked into his eyes, and his anger faded. He looked at the man, who lied on the ground, barely conscious. Luke had disgust in his eyes, while the grown man had fear in his.
"Thank her. She just saved your life"

They went back to their bikes, after making a hasty escape.
"Can you make it back ok?" Luke asked.
"I'll be fine. What about you?"
"I'll catch up" he said simply. She nodded, and drove off.
A few minutes later, he drove away from a building that was engulfed in flames.
TT
Like father, like son, huh?
Too soon?
