Chapter 8
Bex's POV
"Well basically, we have to infiltrate the 43rd Mason Ball to pick up a guy named Christian Metcalfe." Nick summed up.
My breath hitched as I stopped walking dead. I didn't even realize until I felt Grant's hand tugging on my own. I just looked at Grant not trusting my jelly legs to move and I moved my hand to his shoulder in order to support myself. This can not be happening.
Grant looked really worried, his mind going into overload. He freaked out, "Bex, Bex what's wrong, are you all right, are you ill, what's happening!"
Then Jonas just said slowly finally piecing it all together, "She knows him, I read in the files that he's worked with her parents but only a few times, I didn't realize.." He trailed off.
Zach it seemed was the only one thinking straight. "Come on, we need to get out of here, were attracting attention. Now." He said sharply. Grant half carried me as I tried to walk out, Nick told a waiting black-cab-driver an address and we sat in the back silently listening to some god-awful music the driver had on.
Finally we arrived, we were in the centre of London and we walked slowly into a fancy apartment block that was more like a hotel. That was all I noticed. Floor 3, Penthouse suite. That was it, not the address of the apartment, the names of the security guards, the locations of the cameras, the number of exits; nothing. My mind was in over load, what the hell did they want with Metcalfe.
We all walked into the suite and I fell onto the sofa. The boys checked around for bugs and Jonas went to look at a file that was in the centre of the table. Light dawned in his eyes as he read the note inside. His gaze turned pityingly to me and then he read the note allowed.
In your interrogation there is a new focus. The locations and jobs of two top agents, Abe Baxter and Grace Baxter, yesterday we had Intel that they started working a case with him, they are your new top priority. You will meet Jato in the sub-headquarters in London tomorrow; there you will learn the full mission's information. Bring everything that was required you bring.
That confirmed my suspicions.
Cammie's POV
Macey, Liz and I all moved into a small hotel room in central Canberra. We quickly sorted out techniques and figured out timings, we needed to get to London as soon as we could. It's not that we didn't think that she was capable, no definitely not! We just don't leave a girl behind, or send them ahead!
That evening we had our plan figured out, we would be able to intercept them tomorrow in a shopping mall rather than in 5 days. I went to sleep that evening prepared, I imagined Bex probably asleep in the airplane right now (A/N this is slightly back in time) passing over Saudi Arabia, she would land in London at 1:35pm but in Australian time at 1:35am. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep knowing that despite us having to wait 48 hours, due to flight time and time differences it would only be 24 hours for her. (A/N I reckon I got all those timings messed up so SORRY!)
The following morning we set up. There cover was Rich American kids on a gap year, so we decided to go with the easiest option of being possible girlfriends for them, I say we decided, Macey decided.
I looked again at my outfit that Macey had assured me was amazing, I just wasn't convinced with the amount of skin on show. The thing is, in Australia its summer and Macey assured me that if you wanted you could walk into a mall in just a bikini and no one would bat an eyelid. I mean really!
I was wearing a loose white (SEETHROUGH WHITE!) cropped top that went to around my upper stomach and then went into tassels that covered my stomach. Then I had white short shorts that wear VERY SHORT and underneath my clothes instead of normal underwear I had a bright blue bikini with a circle strap and the top and the bottoms had a high waist strap that went around above my hip bones rather than my waist. Finally I had a cute blue and silver charm bracelet with brown gladiators. That was the ONLY bit of my outfit I was ok with…
As I walked to the mall with Macey I pulled on sunglasses to cover my eyes as contacts are dangerous because when your eyeballs move sometimes it can uncover the true colour of your eyes. I flipped my glossy brown wavy hair/wig over my shoulder like only Macey and Bex can in the vain hope I looked like a silly air head. Macey was beside me in a similarly revealing outfit and a platinum blonde long straight wig and avatars.
We soon spotted the subjects and Liz told us she had 360 degree eyes so we moved in. They were talking loudly at a frozen yoghurt and pilling up toppings. Macey winked at me to follow her lead and she went in as the sophisticated teen she was and raised an eyebrow at the boys and shared a 'secret' smile with me saying "immature much…" The boys immediately straightened up and talked quietly but of course as spies we naturally heard everything as we put mangos, strawberry's and kiwi on our yogurts.
"Dude quit it." One of them said hitting on of the others as he spotted us first. All four boys turned and looked at us and I swear they had drool.
"Woowwwzzaa" One guy said practically eye raping Macey. Bastard.
The others stayed in silence but with lots of eye-brow-raising and nudging going on.
We walked over to the till right next to them to pay for our yogurts and Mace said to me, "I'll pay." Then giggled and opened here huge purse, little did they no what was in there! She then rummaged for about 30 seconds looking for her purse in pretend despair.
The leader of their group spotting the opportunity that we had handed to them on a shiny silver platter and practically sprinted over to say, "We'll pay for you lovely ladies." Pass the barf bag.
I swear this was so easy, I thought the circle recruits were supposed to be good! Soon we had them coming over to our apartment with us, Liz was hidden away in her bedroom and we had them in the living room. Macey and I played up a British accent the whole time and then when they said something we immediately jumped at the chance of giving them 'proper English tea'! And I mean, when (like me) you've had tea served to you at Hampton Court Palace, the Starbucks stuff never quite tastes right!
We gave them strong doses of the tea and waited for them to drink some. However, this is where the problems start. You immediately realize something is wrong but the tea doesn't knock you out for 2 minutes so Macey and I braced ourselves for a fight. They all sipped the tea thankfully but then alarm registered on all their faces. They stood up and Macey and I were quick to act. I punched the first one in the face and then immediately kicked him in the gut; he fell onto the sofa and made way for the boy behind him. He seemed more prepared after what I'd done to the first guy, he punched out sharply and hit my shoulder as I tried to dodge, I fell back but as he came at me I stepped back so his momentum carried him forwards and he fell flat on his face. A quickly got up and turned to charge at me again but he got a kick where it hurts!
I turned to see Macey finishing the last guy off with the Wendensky maneuver and then grabbed the guy I'd just kicked and dumped him on the sofa. We sighed in relief and went to go and chat to Liz.
"Awesome guys!" Liz cried enthusiastically as we came into the room. We smiled and sat down as Liz continued talking. "I've got one bug, one camera and one heat detector in the room their in that I'll keep monitoring until they wake up and then we'll know for sure it works, we don't want to be there when they do wake up. So pack up all your stuff. They'll wake up in an hour so pack your stuff. We'll wait in here by the window, when we've checked what there saying we'll climb out and go down the fire escape and head for the airport." She finished in one huge breath.
We just nodded and went about packing our stuff. Macey packed all the clothes, Liz packed away all the tech except what she was using to monitor the boys and I packed all the weapons in specially lined suitcases to get them past security.
Finally we heard them wake up. We each stood with a back pack and small wheelie suitcase anxiously hoping that the tea worked. They all looked around in total confusion. Mixtures of questions were asked: who are you, where are we, what happened, where's my mum! All sorts. We waited until we were certain they had lost 10 years of their lives and didn't have a clue who they were. We giggled and quickly stepped out of the window onto the fire escape and headed for the airport leaving four eighteen year-olds with eight year old brains behind us!
Please review, it really inspires me to right more, i am open to suggestions and critiques too!
