Chapter 2
"Undercover"
It was around midday when Z arrived at the garage where her friend Jack Landors was waiting. He sat on the back of an open white van as he looks up upon her arrival. Jack has dark skin, is hair in dreadlocks. He wore dark blue jeans with a matching jean jacket over his red shirt.
Once Z stood in front of him, Jack narrows his eyes as though he expected something but realizes what he wanted wasn't there.
"Did you get anything?" He asks for the sake of asking just to prove himself wrong.
"Does it even look like it?" She shot back as she took a seat next to him on the trunk of the van. Jack stares at her, waiting for his female companion to explain. She looks at him irritably from the corner of her eyes and sighs. "There was this guy who got in the way."
"What guy?"
"I was about to enter the store until we bumped into each other. Then he started talking so I couldn't get away. But then I did…so I end up walking by myself when suddenly these robotic creatures by the name of Krybots appeared before me and they started attacking." Jack raises an eyebrow strangely as she broke off and continues. "They were so many of them that I couldn't hold my own any longer when suddenly the same guy came and saved me from them." She looks at him and waits for a response. "Well?"
He slowly nods his as though she had just lost it. "Interesting story, Z but you could have come up with a better one."
She scoffs in response. "It's the truth, Jack!"
"Whatever. Now we don't have enough food and clothes for everyone." Z turned away from him with her arms folded across her chest. She always hated it whenever Jack gets on her case "Anyway, I got you some food."
"Already ate." She told Jack brashly. "And I happen to be really full."
He just shrugged his shoulders and begins eating the left over food that was meant for her. "Suit it yourself." Z scowls coldly at him before heading over to the garage to arrange the food and clothes to give out the following day.
Sky Tate entered SPD Headquarters later that afternoon as he takes off his sunglasses and begins making his way over to the common room. Once he made it inside, his colleague cadets, Syd Drew and Bridge Carson, both look up upon his arrival.
"How did it go?" The long curly blonde haired one, Syd asks as they rise up from the couch and stood in front of him to listen.
"Only one of them showed up." Sky begins to explain. "I believe she was about to break into a store, but I got there just in time." He makes his way over to one of the chairs as he sits down and comfortably places his legs on a small table cushion with his hands behind his head.
"How long are you supposed to be undercover for?" Bridge thought out of curiosity.
"Well it all depends on Commander Cruger." He answers. "But I have to find a way to get her to lead me to the other one before we can turn them both in."
"That's pretty sad, Sky." Cadet Drew remarks as he turns his gaze over to her. "You're leading her on."
"Hey," Sky raises his hands up defensively, "no strings attached. Besides, I'm only doing my job."
Syd folds her arms across her chest. "I wonder why Commander Cruger is going after them when we should be focusing on the Krybots."
"They're criminals, Syd." Sky shot back. "And criminals should be locked up." She averts from his gaze as he broke off with a thought in mind. "Speaking of Krybots, they were after her for some reason."
"That's weird." Bridge furrowed his eyebrows. "You think she has something that they want?" He thought.
"I don't know." Sky bit his lip. "But aren't they always after people in general, attacking the city?"
"I guess so." Bridge lingers on the thought for a moment. "Or maybe they know what we're thinking, and since we're after them, they could be after them too. Unless, they're helping us…" Sky and Syd both stares at him weirdly. "Nah, that's not right. They're the bad guys." There was a small pause. "Or I'm thinking they're thinking what we're thinking except we don't know that what they're thinking—"
"Bridge!" The room fell silent at the sound of Syd's loud voice as all eyes turn to her. "Enough."
Cadet Carson looks away and shrugs. "I just realize something." Sky points out with a thought in mind. "You know turning them in…at least turning her in is going to be a difficult task."
"How so?"
"Well, she can fight." Sky looked back on it and was impressed by what she could do. "We end up fighting the Krybots together. She's pretty good. Maybe the other one is as good as her."
"But we've been trained in the academy for how many years now?"
Bridge nodded his head in agreement. "Syd makes a point yah know."
"She did mention that she learned how to fight on her own." Sky recalls.
"Well there you go. Unlike her, we've been professionally trained in SPD. I'm sure we can handle it."
"That may be true, but we shouldn't underestimate their abilities."
There was no response from any of them after that as the room fell silent. Moments later, Commander Cruger enters the room, allowing the cadets to straighten their posture and stand at an attention.
"Sky Tate," the big blue dog calls out as he steps forward from the line.
"Sir?"
"Can I see speak with you for a moment?"
Bridge and Syd exchange looks. Without hesitation, he nods his head and follows their commander out the door of the common room, leaving Bridge and Syd behind. The two begin walking down the hallway as they past by other cadets. "How did it go?" Commander Cruger asks to break the long silence.
"It went well as we planned."
"Good, but there is something I have to tell you." They stopped on the middle of the hallway as Sky looks up at him intently. "I was the one who send forth the Krybots."
"Sir?"
"I assure you they're not the real troobians. They're the ones we used for simulation." He explains to the cadet. "It's only part of the plan."
He sighs in relief. "In that case, it worked, Sir. We end up talking afterwards. Didn't get much info from her though."
"What about the other one?"
"Still working on that; however, she did mention a friend."
"Hmmm…" Commander Cruger looks away to think for a moment. "Very well. But I want to warn you, cadet." Sky wrinkles his forehead in bewilderment. "Be careful."
"Sir?"
"While being undercover I don't want you to get too attached to this woman. I know how you males work—can't keep your hormones out the door when a female is involved."
Sky shook his head and smirks at the comment. It may be true to a few guys in SPD, but not to him. Sure he finds women attractive, and admits that Syd is pretty good to look at, however he does not allow women to conflict with his work. "That will be no problem, Commander."
"Good. Because I don't want you blowing up our cover over a woman," he explains to him. "You understand that this is very important." Sky nods his head considerately. "Just be careful. Dismissed."
"Yes, Sir."
