Chapter 3
We went to General Burke's office and knocked on the door. He opened the door and beckoned for us to sit down on the chairs on one side of his desk.
"I suppose you know why you're here?" he asked expectantly, taking the seat facing us.
"A mission?" Mike said numbly.
"That's right Mr Nelligan. Ryder Team has been selected for a special mission," he began, looking around at all of us. Angela squeezed my hand excitedly. "I understand that you have an uncle in India," he continued, looking at Tyler."
"Yeah, Uncle Mo," Tyler nodded solemnly.
"Exactly. That is why we have selected you for a mission in India. It starts next week. Here are your mission briefings," he said, passing us all a large pack of paper. I flicked through the sheets and certain words on the page jumped out at me.
India
Mumbai
Infiltrate
Money
Slavery
Rogue
Raj Sharma
I looked up as General Burke cleared his throat.
"And of course you'll all be needing injections." Lauren and Mike went green. "Is there a problem Mallory? Nelligan?" he said and I could swear I heard a hint of laughter in his voice. "You know that if you don't get the jabs, you won't be going."
"They'll get the jabs," Angela assured him, although she didn't seem that certain.
"They'd better," he said, talking to Eric. "Malaria is very common in those parts of India. I expect you all in the doctors room tomorrow at three pm sharp."
We all nodded and filed out of the room.
"Jabs," Angela sighed. "I hate jabs."
"Me too," I agreed. "They always result in me not being able to do martial arts for 24 hours."
"You and your martial arts," laughed Ang.

We all went down to the doctors studio with five minutes to spare.
"Have you all read your mission briefings?" Eric asked.
"Yes oh mighty team leader," Angela sighed.
"Don't use that tone with me," Eric snapped.
"Sorry mother," Angela grinned at me. "It won't happen again."
"I should hope not!" Eric sniffed.
"Ready for the injections?" I asked, looking pointedly at Lauren and Mike.
"I guess," Mike grimaced. At least he didn't turn green again.
"Come in!" A voice boomed from inside, causing us all to jump.
Eric stepped forward, keen as always to be the first one and the centre of attention.
"Come on!" he said, beckoning us with his head. I sighed and followed him in, the others close behind me.
"Good," a brown haired man with piercing blue eyes said. "I want you all to sit out there," he motioned towards a few chairs on the other side of a black glass window. "I'll call you up when it's time. Eric, you're first."
Eric looked sick. More so that Lauren and Mike, which was definitely saying something.
"Good luck," Angela said, just before we left the room.
We sat outside for about ten minutes per person and I was the last one to be called.
"Isabella Swan!" the doctor called. I smiled weakly at my friends and went in.
"Take a seat," he said, and I sat down on a large chair in the middle of the room.
"Don't be anxious, it won't take long." He said, and I though I saw a vague hint of a smile on his lips.
He took out a needle which already contained a green liquid and asked me to relax my right arm. He took a small bit of cotton wool in his other hand and injected the antibodies. It hurt. It really hurt, but I didn't flinch.
As soon as the entire contents of the syringe had been injected into me, he clamped the cotton wool over the mark to prevent the blood flow. He reached over and placed the syringe down and took a piece of tape to keep the cotton wool in place.
"You can go now. But I want all six of you to rest. You'll be called for your mission in three days." With that, he turned his back to me. I slid off the chair and went back out into the other room.
"Did it go alright?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, it was okay," I said shrugging. "Same as any injection I suppose. He said to rest for the rest of the day, so do you want to go back up to our dorm?"
"Why not?" Angela shrugged.
"Actually, I wanted to find Mr Hal about our next weapons training," Eric said pompously.
"The doctor said to rest," I pointed out.
"So?" Lauren said, joining in the conversation.
"So we should do as we've been told," I said slowly.
"Who put you in charge?" Eric asked.
"No one, but the doctor said…"
"Bella, it doesn't matter," Mike said.
"But…"
"Enough. I'm going to find Mr Hal," Eric announced.
"Me too," everyone else said, apart from me and Angela.
Once everyone had left, I sighed.
"Shall we go up to our room?" Angela asked.
"Yeah," I yawned loudly. "Is it just me, or are you really sleepy?"
"Just you," she laughed. "But it's cool. You went to bed later than us last night so you should be tired."
"I guess," I laughed.
We walked back up to the room. I changed into my pj's and got into my covers.
"Night," I grinned.
"Night," Angela said.
I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. I was gone. Out of it. Completely.
Hope you guys like. Please Review =)
