Pre-Spy
Back in Italy
"Good. Keep on working on your form, and you should be fine for today," said Adrienne's tae kwon do master, "You did very well today. I'm surprised that after only three days you've learned almost everything there is to know about tae kwon do. It seems as if you already know this, and all this is a refreshment."
"Thank you Master Lee. Yeah, I'm surprised that I know all this stuff. I've never thrown a punch or kicked something in my life before all this. It's pretty cool. I feel more powerful," Adrienne said catching her breath, "Is there anything else I have to learn?"
"I have another technique I must teach you, but that can wait. You have worked yourself very hard these past few days. You only need to work on your form; it needs to be more fluid. Think like you are a river, flowing over the rocks and into the ocean. You are smooth, serene, but can be strong and powerful," he said demonstrating a series of punches and kicks gracefully yet exuding a sense of mightiness in his movement.
"I will try my best. Thank you very much for all you have taught me. I feel more confident in myself. I cannot wait until or next lesson," Adrienne said while trying to copy her master's clean and supple movement.
"I will leave you so you may practice. Remember, do not over exert yourself. You must maintain your energy for anything that may come your way," he said leaving the gym.
"Be like the river. Smooth and serene, yet strong and powerful," Adrienne repeated to herself. She had come a long way from where she was three days ago. Tae kwon do came easy to her, and she was weirded out that she knew all this so well. It felt like she knew what she was doing and she had been doing karate for a long time.
Sark had sent her a Tae Kwon Do master to teach her how to defend herself, and also learn patience, inner-peace for everything she was dealing with. She needed to relax and calm down for a little while. So far, it had been working. She had felt a lot better and more at ease. Yet, she still thought about everything that had happened to her the past days. She still felt a little scared about what was going to happen to her.
She left the gym and went in to her room to take a shower. After she freshened up she checked if Sark had called yet. It had been a while since he'd called last. She was beginning to become worried.
"He said he'd only be gone a couple of days. It's already been four. What the heck! I've been through a lot, and he leaves me here," she thought, "I'll go check with the butler. Maybe he knows where he went and tell me what he's doing." She walked down to the living room and found Geoffrey watching the news.
"Hey Geoffrey, do you know where Sark went?"
"Well, hello Adrienne. Sark told me he went to Los Angeles, and he'd be back in a few days."
"Oh, ok, thanks," as she went into the kitchen to fix herself a snack.
"You are welcome," returning to watch the news.
"Hm...I wonder what he's doing there? What if he's hurt, and that's why he isn't back yet? Maybe I should go find him. I've been cooped up here all these days, not able to go outside to see the world again. I can do it. Who cares what Julian said about staying where I am," as she scarfed down her sandwich.
"Hey Geoff."
"Yes?"
"Can I go to L.A.?" Adrienne asked, knowing that the answer would be a no. "What do you think Adrienne?" Geoffrey said still watching the TV.
"No."
"Good answer."
"Can I. I've been stuck here, and I haven't been able to see any other people except you and Master Lee. It's gotten really boring," Adrienne complained.
"No, I am under strict orders from Mr. Sark to keep you here, where it is safe," Geoffrey said not wavering from his decision.
"Oh come on. Lighten up, the rules can be broken from time to time. He won't fire you anyway," refusing to give up without a fight.
"My answer is still no. It is no use trying to fight. Give it up Adrienne."
"Fine," Adrienne stomped off to her room.
Once in her room she decided to sneak out of the house and fly to L.A. She thought of an escape plan.
"I'll have to do it at night, when he's asleep. But I have to worry about the security system, which for some reason, seems to be top of the line. Hm...if I can get to the security box, I can rewire the system so I can get through, without disrupting the actual system(she was a genius in engineering). From there I can get into the hangar for the jet. I'll just put it on autopilot and set it on course for California. That seems easy enough. Geoffrey always checks the entire house, and goes to bed at 11:30. I'll wait until 12:30 to make sure he's asleep. This will be fun, I feel as if I'm being a spy. Hehe, I get to be 007." As she went to pack a few essential items for the trip. She dressed in black pants, and a black shirt. It was 11:30. She heard Geoffrey shut the door to his room. "Ok, just another hour to go, I can do this," beginning to get nervous and started to pace the room. "Just calm down Adrienne. It isn't that hard, just a little rewiring, and stealing a jet. No biggie. Nothing you haven't done before. Just go find Julian and make sure he's safe. Haha, I'm the one making sure he's safe. Oy vey, stop getting all crazy," she looks at the clock which reads 12, "Half hour more." She steps out of her room to make sure Geoffrey is still in his room. She sees no light under the door. "Good, he's asleep. Almost time to go. You can do this, you can do this. You'll be fine, you're already a pro at karate, you can take anyone out if you happen to come across some bad people. You'll do fine." As she tries to calm herself, although not entirely working. One last glance at the clock, she sees its 12:29, and decides to go.
She steps out into the hallway and slowly makes her way down to the door. She remembers that the last step creaks. She softly jumps down to the floor, she lands like a cat, nice and quiet. She goes to the security box which is in the kitchen. She quickly opens it up with a scew driver she finds in the drawer. Inside there are five different wires. "Wow, this looks exactly like a device I had to fix back in engineering class," she thinks to herself. She hastily remembers that the white wire and blue wire will cross the system command pad and will temporarily shut down the program for 30 seconds. She quickly opens up the wires and twists the wires together. She closes up the box, and runs to the door. Safely she makes her way to the hangar where the jet is locked up in. She looks up to where Geoffrey's room is and sees the light is still out. "Good, he's still sleeping." She makes it to the hangar and picks open the lock. The jet is a new model that Concorde has just released. "Sweet." She opens up the hatch door and makes her way into the cockpit. "This is so great. See you can do this Adrienne." She turns on the plane sees a display pad, she types in auto pilot, and immediately the hangar opens up all the way and rolls out of it. It travels to the take off lane, and instantly begins to go faster and faster, until finally it is in the air.
"Please place your destination in the control pad," the electronic voice commands.
She types in Los Angeles, California. "Thank you," replies the electronic voice.
"You did it Adrienne, you're going to L.A." she says to herself excitedly. She decides to sleep a little since she's going to be flying for quite awhile. She dreams about being a super swank CIA spy going on a mission to save the world from evildoers, as she travels to the least unexpected.
