Secret Agent Mia

Chapter 4

By: Kallie

Everyone minus Mia was sitting around the table. They were eating and trying to keep Kento from eating Mia's share. Just when they thought it was a lost cause, Mia walked in. She was a scruffy pair of jeans that had paint splattered on them. She was wearing an old button down shirt that was light blue. She had a black and white bandanna on her head. She was wearing sandals on her feet. She smiled and walked over to her spot. She swatted Kento on the head before sitting down.

"Hey, what was that for?"

"That was for trying to eat my food. I happen to be very hungry."

"Sorry" a sheepish looking Kento answered.

"Well I forgive you. Now where's the strawberries?"

"Kento beat you to them." Rowen said.

"KENTO, how could you eat all the strawberries!" Mia yelled. "And why didn't you guys stop him?"

"Well we tried. Honestly we did, but he had already eaten most of them." Cye replied.

"Oh well. Now who wants to look in what part of the house?"

"What exactly are we looking for?" Sage asked.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Well my equipment is in two boxes. They're labeled "Mia's Junk", and "Red's plant food"."

"Why on earth would you label it red's plant food?" Ryo asked.

"Because I needed to keep it low profile. I mean would you look in a box labeled Plant Food if you were looking for something you weren't supposed to find."

"I guess I see your point. I doesn't exactly scream Secret Agent, does it." Ryo responded.

"What do the boxes look like Mia?" Rowen asked.

"One has bugs all over it, and the other has 60's stuff on it."

"Well, then I'll take the attic." Kento said.

"I'll take the attic also." Cye and Rowen responded.

"Guess that means we have the basement." Mia said to Ryo and Sage.

Ryo and Sage had looks of pure terror on their faces. "Not the basement. We'll never come out alive." Sage said.

"Oh come on. It's not that bad." Mia said. Then she opened the basement door. She looked down the stairs and heard some unexplainable noises. She quickly turned around and said " All right maybe it is that bad. But we have to do this anyway."

"Why?" Kento asked. "I don't want to."

"I'll buy you all ice cream afterwards."

"What are we waiting for. Lets get this party started." Kento yelled.

So Rowen, Cye, and Kento headed up to the attic. Mia walked over to the basement door and opened it again. She was about to go down when she stopped, and walked over to a drawer in the kitchen. She came back with a flashlight. "OK, Let's go get this over with" Mia said. She was NOT going to be the first one down those stairs.

Sage silently got up and walked to the stairs. He looked at Mia and Ryo, then went down them. Mia went next with Ryo bringing up the rear. (Cough, cough) "Hey Mia, when was the last time someone was down here." Ryo commented. There was dust over everything, and a damp mildew smell was coming from a corner.

"Well Ryo, besides my grandfather, the last person down here was me when I was… oh, seven. I think." Mia replied while walking over to a stack of boxes. She felt someone starring at her and turned around. It was Sage and Ryo. "What?"

"No one's been down here since you were seven?" Sage asked.

"Well, ya. OK how about we start looking. That smell is starting to make me feel sick." Mia said.

So Mia and co. started to dig around in the junk. All of a sudden there was a CRASH! Mia run over to a pile of fallen junk, and under the boxes was Sage. He didn't look very happy.

"Well Mia, I found one of your boxes." He commented dryly.

Thanks, Sage where is it?" Mia asked. Sage pointed to the edge of junk and there was the bug box. It was the size of a suitcase.

"Mia, you never said it was that big." Ryo commented.

"Actually, I didn't say how big it was at all. Now lets go upstairs, the others should have found the other box by now." Mia stated while picking the box up and heading upstairs. Ryo helped Sage up and then they followed. Sure enough Kento had a box that said Red's Plant Food on it. I t was bigger than the box Mia was holding.

"Thanks Kento." Mia walked over to the other box and tried to balance it on top of the box she was already holding. She got about three steps before it fell. Sighing she started to push it with her foot. Ryo came over and pick it up. "Thank You Ryo. Just follow me, I'll show you where it goes."

So they left the room. But the others followed. They didn't want to miss finding out what was in the box. Mia walked over to the bookshelf in the library. She lifted a book titled Legends of Ancient Japan and the bookshelf moved. She walked behind, and the guys not knowing what else to do followed. The passage led to a small office with lots of high tech gear. Hanging above the desk was a picture of Mia and another girl with pale green eyes, and hair with just a touch of blonde in it. They were both smiling and holding their hands in peace signs.

The guys decided to ask about it later, right now the only important thing were the boxes. Mia opened the bug box and took out some more high tech equipment. In the sixties box she took out an outfit, and what looked like a purse. She also took out some books and a map. The last things out of the box were a big bag and a couple of diskettes.

"OK we can leave now." Mia said.

"You mean that's all that's in the box?" A disappointed Kento asked.

"I'm afraid so Kento." Mia said while heading back to the library. The guys started to follow her, when suddenly she stooped. She was at the entrance to the library. "There's someone in there." Mia whispered. She pulled out her gun, and silently walked into the room. She was looking around every sense alert. She worked her way to the light switch. Before she could turn it on, a hand grabbed her shoulder. Mia immediately flipped them over. She then turned on the lights, and whirled around pointing her gun at that person's head.

The person lying on the floor was wearing black, and had a back hat on their head. "Who are you?" Mia asked. The person slowly started to rise then turned around and took her hat off. Mia gasped when she saw whom it was. The next thing the guys knew, Mia was stalking toward that person, and had punched them in the stomach. "Don't ever do that to me again! I almost shot you." Mia yelled at the figure doubled over on the floor.

"Nice to see you too Mia." A female voice called out. " I was just trying to see if you still had your edge. Guess this answers it." Mia moved to help the girl up. The guys saw it was the girl from the picture. In real life her hair was a light slivery-blonde, and her eyes were smiling. She turned and looked at them. "Mia, are these the guys you talked about?" she asked

"Yea, that's them. Guys this is my friend Danielle. Danielle, that's Kento, Cye, Rowen, Sage, and Ryo." Mia said while introducing them to each other.

"So Mia, is this you r partner?" Rowen asked.

"How did you know that? Oh no. Mia you didn't tell them did you." Danielle's tone was slightly accusing.

"Well, maybe." Mia said.

"Mia, you know you just broke the biggest rule." Danielle yelled at her.

"Well, we'll just bring them with us." Mia said.

"Fine." Danielle sighed. "Since you already know Mia's code name, I might as well tell you mine. It's Angel of Death."

"So, Danielle when do we leave." Mia asked.

"We leave tomorrow. I just came to pick you up and make sure you had your stuff." Danielle replied. "Hey Mia how about we dye your hair that lovely green color." She added with a gleam in her eye.

"How about not." Mia stated. "Well let's go get packed guys. Then Kento and Cye, can you guys go pick up the ice cream I promised."

"Sure thing Mia." Cye replied.

And with that everyone spent the rest of the afternoon packing. After they were done packing they all got their ice cream. Finding the boxes had taken all morning. Before anyone knew it, it was dark. Mia and Danielle were talking when the guys came down for supper. They stopped when they noticed the guys. Supper was passed pretty much in silence. Danielle didn't eat much, watching Kento eat made her sick. So after dinner everyone went into the living room to watch TV. "Man, I miss television." Danielle said.

"You don't get to watch TV?" Kento asked incredulous.

"Well, we don't really have time. And when we do, we don't get any good stations. Man, we have tons of state of the art stuff, but we can't afford to get decent cable." Danielle griped. So to be nice the guys let Danielle pick what to watch. She picked a hockey game. "Oh I haven't seen a hockey game in forever." Danielle said. Mia only laughed at this. "Don't feel to sorry for her. She has someone tape them for her." Mia said.

After the game everyone went to bed. They had a long day ahead of them tomorrow. Danielle and Mia shared a room. And they stayed up discussing details about their mission. They didn't know that much about it, but they talked about what they knew. And around Midnight they drifted off to sleep. The ride to base was going to be a long one. And they weren't looking forward to it.
