Chapter 4~ The next level of confusion
***Vaughn's POV***
"What's wrong?" he asked running up to Glory. The lay in her hands and a voice could be heard coming out of the speaker of the phone.
"Hello? Hello? Miss? Are you there?" the voice called before shortly hanging up. Glory stared at the phone before dropping the phone as if it were acid or a hot pot.
"We gotta go." Glory told him standing up and wiping the tears away with her arm.
"But, but, but" Vaughn started and shrugged it off. "I'll go get the others."
He started to run to get them when he was interrupted by a certain shiny headed bald dude. (A/N: he he)
"Kendall, what are you doing here?" Vaughn asked with an ominous feeling arousing inside of him.
"Come with me- all of you." Kendall ordered him and then about faced.
Sydney gave Vaughn a confused look as she, Weiss, Glory, Jack, Irina, Sloane, and Sark followed the all glistening pissed off bald dude. The pursue led them down a flight of stairs, into an elevator, across a hall, up a flight of stairs, through a doorway, down an escalator and into a parking lot.
"Couldn't we have just taken the elevator all the way down?" Sydney asked.
Kendall avoided her question and glanced towards the opening of the garage as a blue van came racing in.
"why blue?" Sark asked.
"People were getting to suspicious of black ones." Kendall answered and with that they all hopped into the van. The van was silent the whole way to wherever it was they were going. They weren't quite sure.
***Sark's POV***
"I think something's seriously wrong." Sloane whispered to him. "The shimmering baldheaded dude isn't yelling." Sark smirked, but Kendall caught it.
"If you're thinking about doing anything that would involve subversion in this mission then and I quote, 'your ass is grass.'" Kendall scolded him. The van jerked to a stop, throwing everyone forwards a few inches.
"We're here." Kendall told them stepping out of the van. Everyone sat rooted to their seat, unsure of what was happening. "I said, 'we're here' this indicates to you to get off your lazy asses and follow me…. Now!"
Everyone scurried out of the van and into the building.
"This place smells like…" Irina whispered.
"A-" Sloane started. "A hospital." When they turned the corner they soon learned why. They found themselves outside of a hospital room. Glory seeing this ran past them and burst opened the door.
***Sydney's POV***
The word "No!" was screamed on the other side of the glass and they hurried in to find Lauren in the hospital bed and Kendra no where to be found. Glory was on the ground crying hysterically and every now and then pounding on the bed.
"That's so nice of you to care about Lauren like that." Vaughn commented.
"I don't give a crap about Lauren, but Kendra, Kendra," Glory choked.
"Kendra didn't make it sweetie." Lauren told him. "but I'm sure she got what she deserved."
"Aren't you supposed to say, 'she's in a better place now'?" Irina asked.
"She got what she deserved." Lauren argued, crossing her arms.
"This is why no one cares that you're hurt." Sloane said.
"I think for once I agree with Sloane." Sydney stated.
Kendall walked into the room with his arms crossed. "I hope you're a fast healer because tomorrow is our last day of training and we need all of you guys prepped for it."
"But my arm is broken." Lauren defended herself. She had buries and starches on her forehead, arms and legs.
Kendall just turned and walked away.
"So, anyone hungry?" Sloane asked. "I could go-"
"you could just sit down. I don't trust you out of sight." Sydney retorted. "We'll all go- together"
"With all this walking we'll all be in perfect shape in no time." Weiss commented.
Sloane grunted and walked behind Weiss, but in front of Sydney's ever suspicious eye with the others trailing behind.
***Lauren's POV***
Glory glared at Lauren, as they were the only ones left in the room.
"I know you had something to do with Kendra's death. And so I have only one thing to say to you." Glory spat out.
"Watch my back?" Lauren scoffed.
"no, be careful, my gun just might accidentally go off." Glory smirked just as she had seen Sark do any turned on her heel, leaving the room.
Lauren's face bared that of fear before it was covered with a blank look. After glancing around she limped towards the door and locked it, peeling off her casts and wiping off her 'bruises'.
That was close, too close. She thought walking towards a wooden dresser where her clothes were supposed to be. She opened the dressers and pulled out a gun in which she hid in a secret section of her hospital gown. She searched deeper into the dressers and pulled out keys and a purse. Dropping them on the ground she pulled out a plain pink shirt and jeans which she immediately put on. With this she pocketed the keys and strapped on the purse. She glanced back at the dresser and pulled out a note. She placed the note on the bed and opened up the window in the room. Glancing around one more time, she unlocked the door and jumped out the window.
***Irina's POV***
She bit into her cheeseburger as she listened carefully to everyone's conversation in the cafeteria. Something wasn't right and she was gonna get to the bottom of it. She knew it, just as a few people here knew it too. She watched as Weiss comforted Glory on the loss of Kendra, she watched as Sydney stared at Sloane and she watched how Jack watched her. She didn't belong here. She knew that's what a few of them thought but she wasn't gonna leave until she got down to the bottom of this whole situation. Anyone who didn't like it could kiss her ass.
"Irina, pass the ketchup please." Jack commented before she handed the item to him.
***Lauren's POV***
Lauren hit the ground with a thud and a roll before she jumped to her feet and started running. Suddenly a red Ferrari pulled up and the door opened.
"Get in!" someone yelled and Lauren hurried inside. With that the tires screeched and smoke was thorn into the air as the car sped away.
***Sloane's POV***
Something's not right with Lauren. We should have had someone stay behind with her. Shouldn't someone go check on Lauren?" he suggested.
"Lauren can take care of herself, she's in a CIA hospital, right?" Glory asked.
"I think so." Sydney told her sipping on her Black Cheery.
"It's only logical." Vaughn chimed in. "I'll go check on her."
With that he got up and headed towards her room.
Sloane sighed and crossed his arms.
***Jack's POV***
"Where's Kendal?" he asked.
A series of 'I don't know's' followed. Jack eyed the door in which Vaughn had departed from and attempted to put two and two together.
***Weiss's POV***
"It's ok, it was an accident. Don't-" Weiss cooed.
"It wasn't an accident." Glory whispered fiercely. "What?" Weiss whispered.
"It wasn't an accident." she echoed.
"We'll be right back, Glory needs to use the bathroom and I don't think it's safe for her to go alone. I'll wait outside." Weiss told everyone and they hurried away before one of the girls could offer to take his place.
They hurried out of the room.
***Vaughn's POV***
He placed his hand on the doorknob and slowly turned it. Pushing it open he was surprised to find Lauren not there.
He ran around to the other side of the bed to see if she had fallen and even searched under the bed. Glancing at the top of the bed, he found a note.
Hello boys and girls,
My name is anonymity and I have taken your precious little diva. If you want her back, then back off the Covenant. They're mine. I also want you to know that if I were you, I would stay away form Agent Bristow's house tomorrow night.
L8A,
Anonymity
He glanced around the room and ran out of the room.
***Kendall's POV***
He sipped his coffee as he strolled into the cafeteria to talk to the agents. He was about to open the door when he felt a jolt and his coffee spilt all over him. Twisting around he came face to face with Vaughn.
"Agent Vaughn, where's the fire? Explain yourself, now."
"Hold on." he told him and ran into the room. Kendall hurried in, more pissed off than he had been these past 2 days.
***Vaughn's POV***
"Everybody, Lauren, she's been kidnapped." he informed them.
"Wow, the horror." Sydney blankly stated.
"doesn't anyone here give a shit about her?" Vaughn asked desperately.
"So, who wants to play B.S.?" Sloane changed the subject.
"I wanna play poker." Sark argued.
"I say we play chicken foot. No, wait, uno." Sydney disagreed.
"That's fine with me." Sark said.
"I'm in." Sloane stated.
"Excuse me boys and girls!" Kendall yelled. "Agent Reed could be in serious danger and you guys don't care. Well, I'll make you care. Let's go, back to training."
They got up and dumped the contents of their trays in the trash and stacked up their trays.
~~~The next day~~~
***Glory's POV***
Glory rolled over in the bed with a groan. Suddenly her eyes opened wide as she heard a loud siren blare into the room. No wait, many loud sirens.
Sydney sat up in her bed and swung her legs over the side of the bed.
"What time is it?" she groaned.
"Way to early o'clock" Glory joked. "Maybe Weiss and them are up too."
"Ok." Sydney said unsure of it.
"Is Irina still sleeping?" Glory asked. "Through all of this?"
"Probably not." Sydney told her getting up and walking over to her mother's bed.
Sure enough Irina was laying on her back staring at the ceiling. As soon as Sydney walked over she glanced at her to let her know she was up.
"Morning Sydney." she greeted.
"Morning mom." Sydney echoed. "You didn't look startled out of your sleep when the sirens blared. Were you up already?"
Irina answered ha nod of her head and proceeded to stare at the ceiling.
"Mom, you should really rest. You'll need it." Sydney chastised.
Glory stared guilty at mother and daughter as though she were intruding on a private moment.
Sydney hugged Irina and then with a quick chuckle she ran into the bathroom screaming, "Ha suckers! I got first dibs!"
"Great." Glory muttered slumping back down on her bed. Well, at least Weiss will be here. She thought happily.
"20 minutes ladies" Kendall yelled through the door and Irina jumped up to commence making breakfast.
Glory began picking out clothes to wear.
***Sloane's POV**
"10 minutes!" Kendall yelled through the door.
Sloane turned his head to see Sark staring at the ceiling with something obviously on his mind. He shifted his head to see Vaughn pacing the floor. He could feel eyes on him, which he could reasonably assume was Jack.
A little while later the shower was heard running and Sark was missing. Vaughn went into the kitchen to make breakfast and Jack still sat there watching him. Sark came out with a towel around his waist, still not yet dry and Vaughn immediately went into the bathroom.
Sloane just rolled over in his bed to the opposite side of Jack's bed.
Vaughn came out a few minutes later, beads of water on his chest in the same attire as Sark had with his hair plastered to his wet face. Jack stepped into the bathroom with one last glance at Sloane while Sark and Vaughn went to eat breakfast after changing.
Burying his face into the pillow, Sloane tried to wish himself asleep.
Jack opened the bathroom door minutes later and stepped out fully dressed. "Your turn." he barked at Sloane.
Sloane hurried inside as Jack went over to the kitchen to eat.
A light knocking at the door commenced.
***Jack's POV***
He sat there staring at Vaughn and Sark as they ate in an uncomfortable silence.
Suddenly the door to the bathroom swung open. "Does anyone hear that noise?" Sloane asked.
"Slone ,seriously, put on a towel." Sark ordered. "No one wants to see that."
Suddenly the door gave way and standing there was a pissed off Kendall.
"I told you guys 10 minutes!" he yelled dressed in his usual suit. "What are you guys, Divas? Hurry up!"
"Well, actually, we're men, so the correct question would be 'are you primping?'." Sloane corrected him.
"Are you naked? Put some fucking clothes on!" Kendall ordered. "The rest of you assholes follow me."
They walked down alleys and through doorways and into building, down stairs, up elevators, and down hallways before they came to their destination.
"Sit!" he ordered. They were in a white room with white chairs, a white ceiling, and beige carpeting. Looking around, no windows or other doors were present. Except for the sound of Sloane's stomach rumbling, the room was eerily quiet.
So, when the door opened, everyone's attention was drawn towards it. Irina, Glory, and Sydney stepped through it and whitely closed the door.
"Ok, now that we're all here. I'd like to welcome to your last day of training. I'd also like to introduce you to…" he trailed off.
Something in the wall moved and suddenly another door opened from somewhere in the wall. The footsteps of whoever the person was stopped short so that he could finish explaining.
"As you know, because of the current situation, I will be investigating what happened to Lauren so that means you get a new 'counselor'. Wipe those smiles off your faces. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to your new counselor…" Kendall told them as the counselor stepped forward.
Everyone stared at the person, but it was Jack's face that was most interesting. For on his face was a look of surprise, surprise and horror….
A/N: ha! I'm so evil! I hated this chapter, but I needed a way to hurry up and get to the last day. I know it was a really crappy chapter, but I haven't had meat in forever (participating in Lent) and I think it's messing with my mind .If I can stand not to eat meat then you can put up with this crappy chapter. Right? Don't flame me too bad, plz.
