The Associates and the Past

Tyler's POV

When Kari said associates I almost started to laugh. Chris and Eliza were more like roommates. I had been with Kari most of the summer, helping her prepare for the rest of the Advanced Training Students and gathering info for my mom, Lisa. For once I was her favorite child. Her precious daughter, Laura Smith, wasn't being offered the chance to join Kari's class. Jarden students were only staying for a semester. I knew that during that time Laura would attempt to take down Kari single-handedly. I was still trying to figure out why mom hated Kari so much. She seemed nice to me and was an excellent cook.

Kari asked me if I could show the other the stables and introduce them to their "pets". By pets I knew that she meant the horse and dog pair that they were going to be working with for the next two years. The stables had a pass number that you had to enter to access them, as did everything else at Blackthorne. This code was different than the others though.

I led the group to the stables and told them the code (2012) and showed them their new pets. I knew that Chris and Eliza wouldn't come until much closer to lunch (It was only 9:30AM), so I started to saddle my horse, Lily. Grant started to brag about how easy it is to ride a horse and started to climb onto his horse, Jasmine. I knew what would happen next and was glad that he was facing some hay bales. Jasmine waited patiently for him to climb on and then started to buck and sent Grant flying in a neat arc into the hay bales.

"Anyone else want to act like a cocky know it all?" I asked while watching Grant get up off the floor and shoot the roan mare a nasty look. "No one. OK. Can any one tell me what he did wrong besides Zach?" No one answered so I motioned for Zach to tell the group what his friend did wrong.

"These aren't normal horses. The mare Grant tried to ride hates men. Kari, Tyler, and my horses only allow us to ride them. Bex I would suggest switching horse's with Grant unless you want to go for a wild ride. Midnight hates women," Zach said looking at the rest of the group around us and the horses they picked.

I resumed command after Zach because while he knew the horses better than I did he hadn't met Kari's new dogs so he didn't know their habits, yet.

The rest of the morning passed uneventfully. When we went in to the house I heard the TV on in the living room. Kari almost never watches TV except when… oh no. Rafael must be here. I looked into the living room. Kari was sitting in the living room, watching her favorite TV show with Rafael. She heard me coming and mouthed the words "save me." Rafael didn't notice anything. Fortunately Chris and Eliza choose to arrive at that moment.

Chris is Kari's nephew (the one her director suspected) and Eliza's husband. He fit's the typical tall, dark, and handsome description found in most books. Eliza is tall, skinny, blond, smart, and pretty.

Kari jumped up to hug her friends at the same time the others came into the room. Rafael looked at all of us and then shot Chris a nasty look. Kari explained (lied) why everyone was there and her relationship to Chris.

Rafael left soon after that. (Thank goodness!) Chris and Eliza went into the kitchen to help Kari prepare lunch and discuss government secrets while I went up to the library with the others. I was considering reading a book when Macey asked what the picture on the fireplace mantle was about. It showed Kari and Eliza with one arm around each others shoulders (giving each other bunny ears) and the other hand making a peace sign. Eliza had a really nice tan and Kari was lobster red.

"That pic was taken 2 weeks before Kari gave up her normal life for a spy's life. 2 years later Christopher Slecherich and Elizabeth Jamison joined her. They took on the names Chris Slecherich and Eliza Johnson. They were the only 3 children who wanted to finish the program that they were entered into. When they were born they were genetically engineered to live long lives, be very strong, and extremely smart. They were placed in normal homes to be raised like they were normal until they turned 14. When they turned 14 they were given another shot that made them immortal, too. The shot gave them talents that they weren't supposed to." I said knowing that what I had to say was important when it came to everything Kari said and did.

"They never told the scientists about them because Kari read the mind of the scientist in charge and knew what he feared most was a race of super humans. The project was ruled a success until Kari, Eliza, And Chris disappeared into thin air. They were kidnapped while on a mission, though the term used by the government was stolen, took to a warehouse and held hostage. They were going to be used against the US government as spies by terrorists. They broke out of there after transferring all of the terrorist's money into an untraceable foreign account. They've been in hiding, repeating school over and over again, right under the governments noses for years." I finished right before I got a text that said Mission 2night wear black

Sorry about not updating in 4ever. I went camping over the weekend and had lots of stories to catch up on reading on top of honors bio home work. My teacher has no life and therefore likes to make sure that we can't have one either. :( The next chapter will be the mission and will possibly have more Zammie. Please review. It inspires me to update more often. If I get reviews I will post a really long chapter 2morrow. Or maybe two longer chapters. Depends on reviews that I get and how much homework my teachers give me. :)
