Chapter 13
Cammie's POV
I followed Zach into the circle base with Jonas and Liz behind me, and then Macey, Bex, Nick and Grant. This was the moment when we reveal whether or not the disguises will hold up.
We walked into the base and Zach lead us over to a door which read JATO. He knocked swiftly but then went straight in without waiting for a reply. I anxiously went in behind him.
A girl that looked like a million bucks dressed in a jeans and a hoodie greeted us. "Hi, you must be Zach's girlfriend?" She asked chirpily as Zach and I walked in.
I quickly went up to her and played my new cover, "Hi, yeah I'm Charlotte, Zach said that if we helped you guys out on this mission then we may be able to join another branch of the COC, so here we are!" I exclaimed overly happy and cheerful like my cover. I fought the urge to hide as I felt the eyes of Chris, Chloe, Thomas and George looking me over and then sighed as they turned to the other girls as they introduced themselves.
( I'm sorry if its so confusing with the new names, codenames and more cover names but I'm always trying to keep the letters of the first names the same and similar codenames which I'm sure you'll spot!)
"Hi, I'm Bailey" (A/N her cover name for the ball will be Bleu, if that confused anyone from before!) Bex said standing next to Grant.
"I'm Lily." Liz followed.
"I'm Megan." Macey finished, I noticed Chloe get slightly distracted and hide a glare, for once she wasn't the prettiest girl in the room. Chris then demanded, as Zach said they would, our codenames and specialities.
"Well, my code name is Gecko (AN another member of the lizard family that the chameleon is in!) and I'm a pavement artist." I say first.
"My code name's Countess, (I just thought about other royal titles!) and I'm a fighter operative." Bex said.
"I'm eidetic (when you have a photographic memory!) and I'm a Technical Coordinator." Liz said as confidently as she could.
"Yeah so my code name is Swan (because she is beautiful but deadly! Seriously, swans are scary when they fly at you!) and I'm a Culture Operative."
They nodded and introduced themselves and we all gathered around the center computer table.
"Right, in 3 days, the Mason Ball is being held, we still have some preparation to do but today we need to assess your skills, then we can assign each of you to help in different areas." George said taking lead. She turned to the boys, "We already know your capabilities so I'm afraid you will be correcting your covers in here today because you said they needed to be changed and you need to acquire some more tickets." She turned away from the boys again. Zach squeezed my hand but then went over with the other boys to a corner of the room where they started changing their covers and getting new ID's whilst George kept explaining to us. "So, today you have 4 challenges, 2 of them are solo, one is a pairing and the final one is for all of you. Come this way."
We followed all of them out of the room starting to feel more confident, we now can prove ourselves, were seeing more of the base and they seem to trust us as Chloe and the guys smile at us behind Georges back to show that although we should perform well, this wasn't the be all and end all as George was suggesting!
"Your first challenge is a solo challenge, we won't tell you who to put forward for each challenge but it is generally advisable to put forward the strongest member of your team for each, all of you have to take part in 2 events, so you can't use the same person for the solo and pairing for example. The solo challenges are hacking and fighting, the pair challenge is a cross the board quiz in worldwide culture and geographical knowledge, languages, etiquette, disguises and covert operations training. The final test is for all of you, pure Cove-ops. One member will run the comms whilst the other three will, without disguises, have to evade all four of us for 3 hours in central London. The first solo challenge is the hacking one, who will take part?" Everyone's eyes turned to Liz, even team Jato's, it was obvious.
Liz's POV
I walked as calmly as I could into the room with George. I took in the mirror that was a single way so the others could watch me, the camera and the simple laptop set up on a table in front of me. I mentally went through everything I had in my favor to succeed to calm me down:
I am number 1 on the CIA's hacker database
I can touch type 160 words per minute
I have an eidetic memory
I have the super geniuses guide to hacking memorized in my brain which my brain is subconsciously reading
I got cut short by George instructing me: "You need to hack into the NSA, Interpol and KGB and find all records of a man named Gerald Morris for another Circle teams benefit, you have 2 hours. Off you go"
I nearly laughed, hallelujah! In 8th grade I had made a programme to get into the NSA and Interpol and in freshman year one for KGB and 10 other major places. I quickly began to input data and find the old trail I had left myself if I ever needed to hack into any of these again, I easily passed firewalls and decrypted codes until within 67 minutes, I had the information. I looked up at George grinning, "Done." I said smugly!
"Already! Wow Lily, your good." She said as she glanced over all the information then loaded it safely onto a USB and slid it in her pocket. "Come on, were moving onto the next task now." She walked out the room and joined the others, I grinned and they grinned back and we quickly followed Jato out towards the Gym for the next solo challenge.
So sorry the whole recruiting thing isn't in one chappie but i needed to add some background and the meet of them turned quite long so i split it! I have planned for the other tests but i was wondering, how you guys are liking team JATO cos i might add a twist later if i think they should turn good, or figure out the secret, or help the guys to do a good mission at the ball or if they were originally good? so as you can see i have tonnes of ideas so if you like any of those or have any you'd like to see happen then you can PM me or review it! Thanks so much for reading (if you did!)
