I didn't have to turn my head to know who it was. It was Gabe Tremlow, the one I was supposed to kill. "Gabe, I was looking for you," I said with a smirk appearing on my face. I was scared out of my mind at this point, but who would actually admit that?
"Cut the crap and give me your gun," Gabe demanded.
Everyone was out of the room in no time. They knew how this was going to end: a young girl, on the ground, with her brains blown out of her head. You didn't have to by a psychic to understand how stubborn I was. You could just tell by the look on my face when I walked around. I had always been told stuff like "You keep acting the way that you are and one day you'll get shot." All I could think about now, was that they had always been right.
"You know, you can't prevent us from doing anything. You always lose, and you always will," I said with a strong voice. I looked down at my watch and kept note of the time. "You see," I continued, "A spy is never alone. After all of the training the both of us endured, I would think that you would know that. However, it seems to have passed your mind when you made this idiotic plan," I commented.
It was the basics that we had drilled into our heads: never go out in the field alone. "Sophie, give me the gun," he replied calmly. I could feel the heavy weight from the gun that was safely tucked in behind my back, but I never pulled it out. I didn't want to be the first one to lose my cool and shoot, anyways.
As I began to relax a little, I heard a loud shot being fired and saw Gabe jump out of the bullet's path. I automatically spotted the person who had shot at him. I was relieved to find that Xander was standing close by with a gun. Smiling at him, I ran over by his side. He looked down at me, obviously worried. "You really thought that you could handle it by yourself?" Xander teased.
I looked down at my shoes as my cheeks began to turn pink. I was surprised to find how good he actually was at the job. He had been working as a time traveler for years, but I had never known that he was so sneaky and good at this. I stayed back behind the wall as he began to move out and closer to Gabe. Pulling my own gun out and shedding my jacket off, I quickly followed behind him.
Gabe had risen up to his feet and brushed the dirt off of his sides. "You really think you're clever, don't you? Well, you're wrong," He said with a sneer.
I was confused. We had him beat, he was cornered. What more could he have had planned? No one was working with him and he would be shot if anything had popped out. I looked up at Xander and wondered if he was confused as I was. "Considering the fact that we can shoot you at this very second, I'd say we are pretty clever," he retorted. His gun remained up and ready to shoot. "Put your gun down now. You are under arrest for trying to change the course of history."
