The gang went back to section C and walked straight towards Tori's room, they all sat down and simply sighed sadly because their attempt had failed. "Don't you guys think we were a little too hard on Jade?" Cat questioned sadly. "She is our friend"
"She put us in pain…purposefully and smiled while doing it" Tori commented. "What kind of friend does that?"
"Well, yeah but she's been under a lot of stress lately" Andre responded. "A different reaction from her would've surprised me more, honestly"
"That's true" Robbie added.
"So you guys think we screwed up again?" Beck questioned.
"Maybe, we don't know what she's been through…I mean she's been locked up in that cell, unable to move and to see, for almost a month, I think her anger and desire to recover control is comprehensible" Andre explained and they thought about it. "And about her engagement with that man, well, I think she's doing it to punish you"
"I know" Beck said and sighed. "But it angers me that she doesn't see reality as it is and she's going to ruin her life"
"You have to understand that as far as she's concerned you might've cheated…in a way with Tori and also, she got locked up again because of you, I can understand why she's this upset" Andre said.
"The pictures he sent her were convincing, I have to admit it" Beck commented. "But so now what? I just officially broke up with her…I think and she must be hating us right now"
"Now I feel bad for saying she wasn't our friend anymore" Tori said and sighed. "I was just so angry that she'd do that to me"
"Well, what's done is done"
Jade was left just thinking about everything her friends had said and she felt bad for causing them pain but she didn't want to admit it so she indeed preferred to believe they were the bad ones and that Alexander was just trying to help. The guards woke up about an hour after the gang had left so they simply made sure Jade was restrained and pretended nothing had happened.
Next day Alexander showed up in the cell like he always did but this time he wasn't alone. "Hello Jade" Anna said.
"Hi" Jade responded emotionlessly.
"Alex told us you made up your mind but we want to hear it from you" She commented and Jade took a breath.
"I am willing to work for you now and to do what's necessary to benefit this country" Jade said and they smiled.
"That's great" Sebastian said. "But we'll need you to prove it" He commented as the guards took the straitjacket off and uncovered her eyes; Jade felt so relieved to be able to move and see again that she immediately nodded.
"What do you want me to do?" Jade questioned and then a guard brought in a man wearing a prison suit.
"Exactly the same we asked you to do last time, this is the final proof" Anna said and Jade's smile dropped but Alexander nodded at her.
"Is he supposed to die?" Jade questioned.
"Yes, in a month…we are just rushing it a little, don't worry nobody will miss him" Sebastian commented and Jade looked down.
"Whenever you're ready" Anna said and Jade took a breath, she didn't want to do it but it was that or getting tortured to end up doing it anyway so she started causing him pain and the man collapsed on the floor, she moved her hands as she stared at him and then clapped once, a second later he stopped moving and Jade stepped back shocked. She couldn't believe she had just killed a man but the CEOs were just there smiling satisfied. "Perfect, dear, you're ready"
"Will my job be to murder people?" Jade questioned coldly.
"No, but it'll happen at given times and killing for your country is not murder so don't feel bad, however, you need to start getting rid of moral impediments…the government doesn't work like that" Anna explained and Jade looked down but then nodded. "Great, so Alexander, take her to the place she'll be living in from now on"
"You'll give me a new place to live?" Jade asked.
"Of course, you can't be living back with your parents or in the school anymore…You just graduated" Anna informed. "You'll be coming here sometimes to talk to the students about your life in the job and to some meetings but you won't be always here"
"Okay…" Alexander drove Jade to her new apartment and she liked it but she couldn't feel happy, she kept remembering the man's face as she killed him and her friends' words and she only felt like crying but she was keeping herself from doing it.
"Is there a problem? Don't you like it?" Alexander asked as he hugged her from behind.
"It's fine" Jade said and stepped away because she didn't feel so comfortable with him yet.
"You seem upset" He commented.
"I'm just tired and I wanna call my parents…so would you mind?" Jade asked referring that he should leave and he looked down.
"No, it's okay…I'll see you tomorrow" He gave her a quick kiss and left the apartment so Jade sat down on the bed feeling miserable, she didn't know what to do with her life after that but there was no going back.
Jade's first mission was to trick an ambassador into signing the release of a political prisoner so he would be sent to America so they sent her to Washington and she passed as a secretary, she did the job very easily and then flew to New York to control the terms of a new treaty in a way that they benefited the United States and after her two weeks away she finally went back to L.A. to a conference in Hollywood Arts so she was nervous.
"Dear students, we've reunited you all here today so you can have a little chat with someone you might remember, someone who's now doing what you'll be doing in a few months…helping our great country" Anna said on the microphone in the theater and they looked at each other. "Come in!" she exclaimed and a few seconds later everyone saw Jade walking onto the stage by Alexander's side, the gang's eyes immediately wide opened because they never imagined she would be released so soon and because she looked different; she was wearing a dark blue dress, heels and her hair was straight.
Jade stared at her friends and Beck emotionlessly and then turned to the rest of the students with a proud smile on her face. "For those of you who don't know her, she is Jade West and right now, she's putting the name of our school real high in political affairs, isn't that right, dear?" Anna questioned.
"It is" Jade said.
"Can you tell us about your experience?" Sebastian asked, the CEOs were seated on a table on the side and Jade was standing on the other side.
"Of course, well, I've been required to travel to Washington D.C. and New York in the past two weeks to make sure our country keeps its privileges" Jade said. "I got back here today and the helicopter pilot was nice enough to let me freshen up a little in my apartment before coming here"
"She doesn't even seem herself" Tori whispered on Beck's ear and Jade saw them so she looked to the other side pretending she didn't mind the fact they were together now, Beck could see her thought and he immediately closed his eyes in frustration trying to keep his distance with Tori.
"So they gave you an apartment?" A guy questioned.
"Yes, they did…as soon as I graduated and It's pretty nice" Jade responded.
"How about the pay?" A girl questioned.
"I can't complain" She answered and they all smiled.
"What's your power?" Another girl questioned.
"I can inflict any physical reaction on people, move things and control minds…" Jade informed.
"Show us" A guy demanded and Jade chuckled.
"You really don't want me to do that" She affirmed.
"Do it" He said and she raised her eyebrow at him, a second later he dropped on his knees and started screaming so Jade smiled and everyone stood up scared.
"What's happening?" A girl questioned and then Jade stopped so the guy started touching himself all over to make sure he was fine.
"Oh my god, why did you do that?" He asked upset and Jade shrugged.
"I told you" She said coldly and sighed. "Anyway, questions?" she asked and everyone stared at her nervously as they shook their heads.
"And do you like what you do?" Beck questioned and her smile dropped as she turned back to him.
"So far, yes" Jade responded and he nodded.
"Any more questions, guys?" Anna questioned and nobody said anything so she turned to Jade. "That's all, darling, thank you for coming"
"You're welcome" Jade said and Alexander immediately went after her, he put his hand around her waist so Beck stared at them upset but then she moved to the side a little pushing his hand away so Beck smiled.
About an hour later the gang was back in the living room just playing cards but they couldn't focus. "Pretty freaky what happened today, right?" Robbie asked.
"Yes, I can't believe Jade is free and working now" Tori responded and Beck smiled. "What? Why are you so happy?"
"Because she still loves me, she doesn't love that man" He affirmed.
"How do you know? Now you can sense emotions?" Andre questioned and Beck shook his head.
"No but today when she saw Tori speaking to me she got jealous, she tried to hide it and send the thought away but she was upset" Beck informed and Tori closed her eyes in frustration.
"And that is good because…?" Tori asked.
"Because that means she still cares and also, I could see she doesn't like to be that close to Alexander" He added and smiled.
"That doesn't mean she's gonna leave him" Andre said. "Besides, she's still upset with you"
"I know, but that will change"
