Chapter Two--- Mission Prep and Biology Exams
"A recent string of robberies committed upon merchant ships and pleasure cruises is suspected to have been committed by pirates." Jerry told them and Alex began to laugh.
"Yeah right Jer. Pirates. Who would be a pirate in this day and age?" Jerry looked at Alex very seriously, playing a clip from a cruise where three women came into the lounge dresses as pirates, swords and pistols drawn, demanding everyone hand over their loot. The rest of the crew gathered up said loot. Alex sweat dropped.
"Oh. But still, why?"
"That is why we have the 8 of you. Now, let's see what gadgets we've got for you." Gladys equipped the girls and boys with their spy suits and back packs, though the packs were now made to match the color of the suit and didn't have the flowers.
"Laser beam lip balm, just sticky enough gloves, stealth suits, decoder credit card, keys to your own private jet and ATV's. There is also a small supply of odds and ends that might prove useful. Such as your hologram rings, transmitting earrings and such (a/n. and those glasses that let you search for finger prints and crap…what are they called…well I'm now calling them infrared glasses.) Don't forget to 'drop in'." As the floor fell out beneath the jet, Jerry chuckled at his joke, listening to the screams of the free-falling teens.
----------
"GET OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!!!" A voice screamed from beneath the pile of bodies. It was Noa and she was extremely displeased. After falling out of the jet, the parachutes had decided to ambush her and set 4 other bodies on top of her. Unfortunately the body that was directly on top of her was Kai, and he was looking down at her with a pained expression. Shaine and Alex were on top of him, cutting off his oxygen.
"Sorry Noa! I didn't meant to." Alex told her, helping Shaine up. The color rushed back to Kai's face and he took in a huge gulp of air. However, Noa was still glaring up at him from the compromising position his was situated in. On top of her. She threw him off forcefully, glaring so viciously at him he looked at the ground, shuffling his shoes in the dirt.
"Land on me again and Jerry's going to be a few spies short." Noa muttered and the teens looked around. They'd landed inside an old warehouse beside the docks for the Merina Cruise Lines.
"See any thing with the infrared scanner glasses?" Sam asked. Alex shook her head and the spies left the building, with cruise tickets onto the shortly departing cruise. Looking very touristy.
"Can I get you anything ma'am?" The water asked, smiling. A glowering Noa sat with her arms over her chest, legs crossed, glaring up at him.
"Unless you have clothes for me to wear, get out of my face." The waiter went wide-eyed and ran.
"That was harsh." Kai told her sitting next to her. She scowled at him.
"I am in a dress, there's a flowery hat on my head and I was nearly crushed beneath three other people. I am not in a good mood." Kai patted her shoulder consolingly and left. He didn't see her sapphire orbs watch him go.
------
"Hey Alex, come take a picture with me!" Jade called, handing a camera to Noa. Alex bounded over.
"Say cheese!" She yelled and both struck several odd poses while Noa snapped pictures right and left.
"Hey Noa!" Noa stopped a moment laughing as Alex and Jade toppled to the deck in a tangled mess.
"What?" Shaine, her brother, ran up to her holding a large beach bag out to her.
"Jer just flew these in for you, said her heard you yelling at Kai and the waiter." Noa looked into the bag and smiled. A black tank top, pair of dark denim skorts (looks like a skirt, is shorts) and big black boots. However, the poor girl did not see the pale green bikini he'd also sent along.
"Yes!" Noa leapt up into her brothers arms and hugged him tightly, running off to her room to change.
--------
"I love you Jerry." Noa mused aloud, pulling out her clothes as she turned on the radio. Jet was in the c.d player, Shaine had been listening to it. Cold Hard B was playing and Noa was in her own jam session, not noticing that the shower was on. Pulling off the hat and dress and rummaged for the black tank top that had fallen on the floor. The door to the bathroom opened and Noa looked back, still bent over, ato find Kai looking rather…bothered.
"Um…I uh.." Noa hid her blush by grabbing her tank top and skirt and rushing past him into the bathroom. Jerry I hate you.' She screamed inside her head, pulling on her clothes. Noa opened the door to find Kai sitting on the bed with a small package on his towel clad lap. He handed it to Noa and looked around for his clothes.
Dear Noa,
Hope you like your rooming accommodations and the swimwear.
Jerry.
Frowning, Noa dug through the beach bag and consequently found said swimwear, holding up the top by the string. Kai raised a brow as Noa went wide eyed from shock.
"No! I am not wearing that!!!" She hissed tossing it to the ground and pulling on her boots. Sam and Clover came in.
"Hey Noa, we're going 'swimming.' Grab your suit and let's go." Noa put her hands in her head. She was going to wear that.
"It's not that bad." Kai told her and Noa said nothing, only gathered up the suit and entered the bathroom once more.
------
"Hey Clover, hurry up!" Shaine called and Clover smiled at him, flipping her hair as she walked. (this is aka, getting the guy) Shaine smiled back, sliding over to make room.
"Anyone look suspicious?" Sam asked, sitting beside Cale. Suddenly three very sweetlooking women stepped out on deck. All eyes turned to them in interest and then went back to whatever it was they had been doing.
"No. Wow, check out her hair Sammy." One of the girls had green streaks and the other had silver. The tallest had bright red locks.
"Mind if we join you?" The red head asked. The four moved over to make room.
"Where you guys from?"
"Beverly Hills."
"I'm Monique, welcome aboard the Merina." Monique, the red head smiled and soon all were talking pleasantly.
----In the other pool----
"Come on sis! Come. Out. Now." Noa refused to set foot outside the doors to enter the pool. Finally frustrated of the arguing, Kai walked over, picked her up and threw her into the pool.
"There. Not so bad, see?" Noa sputtered and climbed out of the pool, getting the attention of several near by men. Kai, unbeknownst to Noa, glared at them angrily and they looked away. Noa sat on the side of the pool after finding she didn't have a towel.
"So what do you think we'll find?" Noa asked to fill in the silence. Kai shrugged and she sighed. Jade and Alex were playing volley ball and she was left with Kai, who hardly talked. 'Maybe its not that he won't talk, its that he wont talk to me.' Noa thought miserably.
"I think we'll have to wait until we're safely out of reach of authorities so the thieves can get away." He said at last, noticing the crest fallen look on his friends face. 'Is just being around me so bad, Noa?' He wondered and for the rest of the afternoon, neither spoke.
A.N:Ok this chapter probably made no sense and was rather pointless other then to describe the emotional dilemma's in which we find our cast and the whole mission thingy (I swear that's a clover line) so anywho…R&R!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL
---MUWAH --(I just blew you all a kiss)
