A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! You guys are amazing! Thanks to everyone who sent in names! They were also good that I wish Derek had like 30 parents so I could use them all, but alas he only has two. I might use some of the other names in this story if I get a chance! But my personal favorites are Denise and Brian Souza. DreamDark and blugurlzJLJ gave me the names so….Thank you! I'm also planning on using Andrea from LiliaCupcake376 later on in this story. I'm going to use Holly, Clara, Cassie,John, Zack, and James from…blugurlzJLJ, ChLeReK4ever, Chlerek, wolfenglory,Crazy. About. Converse., and suzi1811 in this chapter or the next. I know I'm not using the names the way you guys intended but I hope you like how I use them anyway! So thank you, you wonderful people, you have no idea how much help you've given me!
The first thing I noticed about the Edison group headquarters was the security system.
There was only a thin wire fence that was about 10 feet tall. There weren't video cameras, or security guards any were. Ether they were incredibly stupid or they thought if someone did try to escape they wouldn't even make it outside. I was praying with all my might that it was the first one and that this would be easy. But I wasn't stupid; I knew what they were capable of.
This morning I had left the safe house to move into my temporary home. It was a small house with one bedroom and one bathroom. I would only be staying there a little while, just long enough for them to trust me with the pass key I needed to break Derek out.
I pulled up to the gate and it automatically opened. Somehow I figured the inside of the gate wasn't automatic so we would have to ether clime it of somehow break through it. I pulled in and parked my cars in the little parking lot for employees. Too day I was to meet Mrs. Enright or Tori's mom, how ever you want to look at it. Somehow Kit managed to set up a job interview without giving away who we were.
When I left I got a hug from Kit, a hug and a kiss on the cheek from my aunt, an overly friendly hug from Simon, his hands went a little low if you know what I mean and a glamour from Tori.
She changed me from short, blue eyed, and strawberry blonde to about 5'6 with light brown/tan skin black, hair and hazel eyes. My name was now Mary Smith which is a classic undercover spy name, which you would know if you watched an of the classic spy movies. Yeah it's a little cliché but it was in the vision so I'm going with it.
I walked to the door, which also opened automatically. What is with these people, are they against touching doors or something.
The lobby was just like a hospital, with stark white walls and a reception area. There was a woman sitting behind the counter typing away on a computer.
"I'm Mary Smith and I have an appointment with Mrs. Enright." I said smiling confidently when inside I was having a mental breakdown. This is when years of art school come in hand.
"Follow me please." She said in a very business like voice. She got up and led me down the main hallway and stopped at the 8th one on the left. On the front it read Mrs. Enright's office.
She knocked on the door. "Mrs. Enright, Ms. Smith is here to see you." She called though the door.
"Sent her in" Mrs. Enright's voice had this tone about it like she was better then all of us and we were in her way just by breathing.
She opened the door and I walked in. The room was simple with a desk and three chairs, one behind the desk and two in front of it. She gestured to the chairs in front of the desk absently as she typed on her computer. Everybody seems to be typing around here.
I looked around the room as she finished her typing. There weren't any pictures on the wall or on her desk. There was nothing even remotely personal in the whole room.
"We've reviewed your résumé and you are more then qualified for the job" She told me.
We had made up a fake résumé that had all the requirements and more so that I would defiantly get the job.
"You'll report to the research center every Monday to Friday." She told me, her voice monotone.
She picked up her phone and started dialing.
"Holly will show you the ropes" She told me as the phone started to ring.
"Hello Holly I need you to show a new employee around, her name is Mary Smith. Yes she's in my office" She told who I could only assume was Holly over the phone.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. A perky woman in her early 20's entered. She had auburn hair that went to just below her shoulders, her eyes were a green color that was intensified by her hair color, and she was about my height, well she would be if I was my height.
"Hello Mary I'm Holly and well be working together in the research center" She told me as we walked farther up the hall.
We continued walking up the hall until we got to the door all the way at the end. I opened and we walked outside into the warm sunshine.
It seemed wrong that such an awful place be bathed in beautiful sunlight and have such green grass. There were several smaller buildings all across the lot. They were very nondescript, white, square, no windows.
Holly led me to the building farthest on the right. When we got to the door she pulled a card out of a pocket on her lab coat.
"This is the key card you need to open this door, but just this door. If you need to get in another building you need a different card. You can just ask me, Clara, John, Zack, or James. We'll help you find the key you need. Just don't ask Cassie. For anything. Ever." Great, just what I need some chick with a bad attitude. (Sorry Chlerek your character's…well a bitch. Please forgive me!)
Holly seemed so nice, I couldn't imagine her hurting a fly. They must have everyone in this section convinced they were only helping people. They probably also left out the whole 'We kill innocent people' thing.
"The best thing you can do is talk to Cassie as little as possible and stay away from Zack" She told me swiping her card.
"She likes Zack?"
"Yes but he refuses to have anything to do with her. Zack's a really nice guy and as you've probably guessed Cassie is not" She told me. We hadn't walked into the building yet. I'm guessing she didn't want anyone to hear what we were saying.
"Is everyone else nice?" It couldn't hurt to ask.
"Yes, everyone else is very nice and helpful" Thank god.
"Is very one about the same or is there some one in particular that I should go to?" I really didn't want to bother someone who really didn't like to help people.
"The nicest one is James." She told me and I noticed she blushed. I thought about sing 'Holly like James, Holly likes James' but I figured she would only get embarrassed. Plus it didn't seem very professional.
"Well I think that about covers the personal aspect" She said noticing the knowing smirk on my face. Her blush was dark against her pale skin.
We walked into the lab and I saw people walking around the room, mixing chemicals or filing paper work.
She walked me over to a woman in her late 40's, with caramel hair and eyes; both seemed to have gold hints in them. I bet if she walked into the sun you could see them really well. Her skin was an olive tone.
"Mary this is Clara, Clara meet Mary" Holly introduced us.
"Hello dear" She had a motherly way about her that made me miss my own mother.
"Hi" I said before Holly dragged me to the next person.
"This is John. He's Clara's husband. John this is Mary."
He was about the same age as Clara with brown hair, and shockingly dark brown eyes. His eyes were nearly black and his skin was a tan color, close to what mine was currently. And just like his wife he was very parental looking.
"Hello" I noticed he had a slight southern drawl to his voice. I only hot a chance to wave slightly as Holly pulled me to the next one.
"This is Cassie. Cassie this is Mary."
She was long and thin like a supermodel with perfect tan surfer-girl skin and long flowing blonde hair, the shade I had always wanted. She eyes were green in the middle and deep blue on the outer part of her irises. She was looking at me with an unimpressed, bored look on her face.
"Hi" She said turning back to her work.
Holly smiled apologetically at me before she lead me over to two men were looking over some paper work.
Both were about 6 feet tall with a fair amount of muscle. One had dark hair, eyes and tan skin, think Taylor Lautner. (I love him. Go team Jacob!) The other had blonde hair with light brown natural highlights and blue eyes.
"This is James" Holly nodded to brown eyes" and this is Zack" she nodded to blondie.
"This is Mary"
"Hey" Zack said flashing me a huge smile.
"Nice to meet you" James said giving me a small, friendly smile.
"Ok now we have to get you something to do and show you the filing system. Would you guys help me?" She asked John and James.
I knew I had to pay attention. I needed to learn were to find the information I would need to help Derek and to blend in with all the regular employees.
Looking around at everyone I'd met in the last few minutes. People that didn't know what they were apart of and I made a decision. I was going to tell them the truth. I just hope it doesn't cost me the mission.
A/N: So guys tell me what you think of the characters. I think I used a name from everyone that gave me suggestions but if I didn't send me a pm and I'll add a character. Please tell me what you think of this chapter! Review!
