Last time-
She ran down the stairs to where Bret was waiting. He chuckled. "I should have probably asked you if you actually wanted to come ha?"
"No it's fine, it was getting a little intense in there anyway." She smiled.
"Okay then, lets roll!" he handed her a skateboard and headed out the door with Evi on his heals.
Chapter 5
But I don't wanna be a princess!
Evi's POV"Okay, you stand on the board like this and you push with your foot like this." I watched Bret show me how to use a skateboard on the sidewalk outside the house. To tell you the truth it didn't look like brain science so I think I can manage. Bret rolled a board over to me and I got on. I got the feel for the board before I took off, Bret yelling behind.
"SHIT! Don't kill yourself, mum will kill me!" I laughed as I cruzed down the street. I could hear his feet pounding in the pavement as he tried to catch up to me on his board.
"WHICH WAY?" I yelled over my shoulder at him as I neared the corner.
"Straight ahead." He yelled back to me as he caught up. The path infront of me disappeared so I flicked the front of the board up and cleared the grass, landing safely on the blacktop. I did the same on the other side of the road and continued down the foot path pounding my foot against the concrete to pick up speed.
Bret came up beside me slightly out of breath. "I thought you said you couldn't use a skateboard?"
I looked at him and laughed. "is isn't rocket science sweetie, besides I have good balance." I shrugged.
"Okay, just give me a warning next time?"
"Sure, by the way I can ice skate really well as well so I guess I can rollerblade."
"Anything else I should know?"
"Lets see, I have a black belt in three forms of marshal arts, I can make explosives out of pretty much anything and I can pull apart and reconstruct any type and model of gun."
"Wow, where the hell were you? Some kind of prisoner of war camp?"
Evi frowned. "Yeah you could say that." Evi went quite and pushed ahead of Bret.
"I'm sorry, did I say something to upset you? I didn't mean to. I was just making a joke, I didn't mean to upset you." Bret caught up to her.
"It's okay, you didn't know any better. It's nothing anyway, I just miss my friends." She smiled across at him.
"Ah yes, Tala and was it Kai? Tell me about them, it you don't mind." Evlin laughed. "Not at all."
"Back at the Abby there were five of us, well there were a lot more than five of us but in my team there were five of us. Me, Tala, Kai, Bryan and Spencer. Who would you like to hear about first?"
"Tala of course."
"Ah yes, how silly of me. Well Tala lived next door to us until his mum got sick and his dad sent him away. Basically my life didn't make sense without him so I followed. When you spend everyday with someone not having them around kind of leaves a gaping hole in your life. What else?" Evi asked herself. "He had fiery red hair, crystal blue eyes and gorgeous porcelain pail skin, he is tall and hansom. He is very protective and is second in command in our team, he has the same phoenix tattoo as me as well. Who next?"
"Kai."
"Okay, Kai is Kai, he is really hard to explain. He is Russian. He has mahogany coloured eyes and this crazy long blue and grey hair. His grandfather runs the Abby but he doesn't get any special treatment. Um, he is the leader of our team and also has the same tat as me and Tala. He would do anything for you and if you ask Tala, Kai has a thing for me but I don't think so. He is a excellent leader and I would trust him with my like. Oh, and he isn't bad to look at either, infact they are all pretty hot! Okay who next?"
"Bryan."
"Well Bryan was recruited from an orphanage when he was four. He has purple hair and purple eyes, he's Russian and is even better with guns than I am he's…" Evi gave a frustrated gesture trying to think of the English translation the word in her head. Even though English was her first language she had been speaking Russian for the past fourteen years. She tried again. "He…is a bit of a, ahh, good with computers…….A geek!" Evi exclaimed when she got the word right. Bret laughed. "But not fully, like just sometimes. He is a computer programmer. And then there is Spencer." She let out a sigh, talking about them made her feel closer to them, it was good.
"I miss them all heaps. Spencer is a ahhhh," Evi struggled with a word again. "Improviser, he can make anything out of anything. He's also a strategist. He has green eyes and blonde hair and is like six foot four so his a big boy. Spencer was kidnapped when he was four, there is still a missing persons out on him. All they guys a fiercely protective of each other and especially me. They are all nineteen as apposed to my seventeen years and your eighteen. Anything else?"
"Yeah," Bret said. "You."
"Well lets see, not that much to tell really."
"Okay, do you have a boyfriend?" Bret asked. I know it is a weird thing for a brother to ask but they are getting to know each other.
"No I don't! Never had the time for one really." Evi paused trying to think of something else to tell him.
"I was second in command with Tala and I look damned HOT in cammos with semi automatics strapped to my thighs! That's about it."
"What are your hobbies?"
"When you're in the Abby you don't have time for hobbies. You get up at four am for training and you go to bed at eleven. It's the same thing everyday."
"Okay, I've got another one for you. Did it hurt getting shot?"
"It wasn't too bad actually, I've had worse injuries. It was a solid bullet so it went straight through and it was only a flesh wound, I might get a scar." Evi added with a hopeful voice that made Bret laugh.
"What was worse?"
"I broke my let in three places abseiling down a ravine once, that sucked pretty bad! Especially when Kai and Spencer put my leg in a splint, then they had to carry me out of there. Anyway enough about me, tell me about you."
"The name is Bret Mathew James Smith or Bret for short!" Evi laughed. "I am a friendly, easy going and often outspoken Sagittarius who enjoys hanging with my friends, listening to music and skateboarding."
"And I bet you have loads of confidence?"
"In spades!"
"Modest too I see!" the two had reached the park by now and were standing just to the side of the skate park and a bunch of people were looking at them.
"Bret, how long have you known about me?" Evi had been wondering this for a while now.
"Ever since I was adopted. Why?"
"I was just wondering. And one other thing, how long has Tala been writing to the folks?"
"About eight years I think."
"Eight years! He never told me. Did he know about you?" Evi asked
"Yeah, I mean I think so."
"YO BRET, YOU GOIN TO INTRODUCE THE BABE OR WHAT?" one of the guys in the skate park was getting impatient.
"YEAH, YEAH GIVE ME A MINUTE." Bret looked at Evlin. "Do you mind?"
"No, not at all."
They walked over to the gate to the park and over to the group of people who seemed to be Bret's friends.
"Everyone this is.." He was cut off by a girl standing beside a blond. "Evlin!"
"Ah, yeah," Bret said. "Do you two know each other?"
"No."
"Yes."
Everyone looked around in confusion.
"You don't remember me do you Evlin?" Evlin studied the girl for a moment before shaking her head. "No should I?"
"I'm Ricki, I live across the street from you."
Evi was still drawing a blank. "Okay." She gave a hesitant smile. The girl had black hair and tanned skin which seemed to have a golden glow. She had chocolate eyes and a full mouth that at the moment was curved into a friendly smile. Evlin shock her head. "sorry!"
"It's all good, it might come back to you. Anyway this is Max, Ray, Miguel, Chris and Ryan. Guys this is Evlin Laura Jane Smith."
Well boys because Kai was stupid enough to loose Evlin you will be one man down for your next mission." Tala, Kai, Bryan and Spencer all smirked at that. "There is a weapons cash east of the Hanoi boarder in Asia. You have one week to retrieve it but be warned, rebels found the cash and it is now heavily guarded. You leave at 0400 hours.
