Hi again! As promised, this chapter is longer and a bit more dramtic. I kind of had writer's block on some on the things here if you can tell. Well please R&R!
Mrs. Tucker's POV
"Oh come on mom, you just said that you were ready to leave!"
"I know sweetie, let me just get something really quick. Go ahead and wait in the car OK?"
"Ugh, fine!" As I heard Monique exit the door, I quickly took out my communicator.
"Mr. Takahashi?"
A light, hearty sound came from the communicator. "This is Mr. Takahashi."
"Hi, this is Danielle Tucker from the FBI.""
"Oh yes, you're the mother of Monique Cajander Tucker, am I correct? How may I be of service?"
"Yes, I was wondering about my daughter. She's having these thoughts that are provoking her. She says they are memories that she can't remember but they are really significant to her. Do you have any idea what's trying to remember?"
"Hmm... That's a good question. Did she tell you any other details about the matter?"
"No, but I think she's starting to figure out about the..."
"Oh, did you say anything?"
"No, but I don't feel that comfortable lying to her. She's good at finding out certain things."
"Yes I understand how you must feel but we erased those memories for a reason so she would be able to live a normal life as the human she once was not as a bird that the erasers wanted to kill." There was brief silence until he spoke again. "You say that she's good at finding things out right?"
"Yes."
"Oh I see, well how about Monique becoming a secret agent."
"Oh so you mean a spy don't you?"
"Well, when you put it that way, yes. She's perfect for it. She's quiet which means she can be sneaky, She can find things out which is like saying she can hack things, she has tricks that can be deceiving and she's able to change the way she looks in a matter of seconds."
"I'll have to think about Mr. Takahashi. She's only fourteen and she already thinks I'm hiding something, I can tell by the way she looks at me when I change the subject. I don't want her to jump into the pool if she doesn't know how to swim but I must go, she's waiting for me in the car so good day sir." I slid the communicator into the back of my purse and headed out locking the door behind me.
As I got into the car and put it into ignition, Monique turned toward me.
"What took you so long?"
"I told you I had to get something from my room."
"And what did you get?" She crossed her arms and looked at me with that "I know you're lying" look.
"Well if you must know, I had to get your library card because you left it in my room when you got your papers yesterday."
Monique uncrossed her arms and softened as I gave her the card.
"Sorry ma, I just don't like it when you don't tell me stuff but you always tell Connor and Trey."
I started driving and we both sat in complete silence so I turned up the radio and we both started listening. This was going to be a long week.
Nudge's POV
"Why are we here again?" Gazzy asked impatiently flipping through some pages.
"Because reading is essential and we need to know what's going on in the world." Max said picking up a book that seemed interesting. Fang and Angel were already seated reading quietly at the table while Gazzy kept flipping through picture books with irritation.
"Mom, stop. This is a quiet place where you're supposed to be quiet." I nearly hissed at her as we walked in trying not to cause a distraction. She kept singing the most irritating song on the planet. "I'm going over here to see if they have that new edition of Wings: The Humans Evolution." My mom smiled and nodded and she headed over to the front desk. I walked over there slowly looking at the labels; Once I saw the 'Wings' section where every book in there had something to do with wings, I saw a group of people already there.
I walked toward the Wings volume. There was a boy there looking through the volumes and he looked at me when I came near.
"Oh, so you're reading this too." The boy asked smiling at me.
"Oh, uh yeah. I love this series, its a very interesting book…"
"Yeah, I think this book is the most interesting, well at least to me it is because this and the first one are the only ones I've read." He grinned at me and I blushed and looked away quickly trying to find the fifth book.
"Trying to find the fifth one?" He asked watching me go through each one.
I looked up impressed and flipped my bangs. "How could you tell?"
"Well, because you skipped through the earlier books."
"Oh well yes I am but I don't think this library has it yet."
He looked at the book in his hand and then at me. "Here, it's the only copy here because they still need to order more."
I looked up and gasped as I took it from him. I was speechless, why would he do that to a stranger?
I coughed up the nerve and thanked him. "Th-thanks."
"No prob." He said walking back to the group as they started to leave. So many thoughts were going through my head but I quickly shook them off as I saw him head for the door.
"Wait, why would you do this for me when you don't even know me?" He turned slightly and grinned cockily.
"You remind me of this girl I once knew well in a way." He opened the door and headed out.
"I'm Monique by the way." I said walking slowly after him.
"I'm James." He then took off running toward the rest of them. James huh? I thought to myself.
"Hey you!" A gruff voice shouted behind me. I quickly turned around to see three people standing there in uniforms. Two girls, one guy and the guy seriously had a loud voice.
"Um, me?" I questioned with innocence.
"Yes you, get over here." The guy said.
"I'm not allowed to talk to strangers." Wow, I can't believe I just used that line.
"Wrong choice little lady." The first woman said who actually looked like a supermodel with a Country accent. "Agents go!" Oh, I had a bad feeling about those two words and boy, was I right. Out of nowhere, agents started falling out of the sky and going through windows. I scanned the room for my mom who wasn't there, that was no surprise. I've been through this little ambush five times already and it was seriously getting on my nerves.
"Alright you guys, seriously this is older than my grandpa." The second woman smiled politely. "No worries, we're doing it differently this time." The agents grabbed me and put tape on my mouth and pushed me into the back of their black van. I so saw that coming, I should've just reacted faster.
As the van started driving, one of the agents carefully ripped off the tape. Did I mention he carefully ripped it off? That's a first.
"Hello."
I jumped startled to see a young man sitting across from me.
"I'm Mr. Takahashi."
"Ugh, if you wanted to talk to me in a business mater, you could've just called and schedule an appointment because the Momo channel is on a lunch break and won't be back until another 5 hours."
"Don't worry we'll wait."
"We'll?" I looked around but only saw agents.
"Yes honey, we'll."
"Mom!"
Dun-dun-duhh! Haha, the ending of the story was pretty easy to write but you may figure out what the next chapter's going to be about but It's notjust going to be about Nudge becoming a secret agent... some secretsbecome reveled over the next few chapters so stay tuned!
