Phil walked into the meeting room. This was the moment he had been waiting for so long, he needed to calm down, to not look excited.
One by one the first class agents got to the room and started taking his seats. TimH was first. Lex came second with Jacksgap and Littleradge and so on with Musicalbethan (the youngest first class) and EmmaBlackery. They ended up being around 22.
"I think we're all here. So…"
Phil was interrupted by the opening door.
"Sorry! I know I'm late I uh… Had trouble getting here uh…I'm terribly sorry" It was Dan, danisnotonfire of course. He was wearing a white shirt with a black tie and carrying a pile of papers that were falling from his hands. He was trying to catch them, dorkly as he babbled and apologized a thousand times until he noticed Phil.
Everyone was staring at him but he only focused on Agent 505.
"Hi" Dan said, after a while, calming down. Phil was staring at him too, unable to take his eyes off his old friend.
"Hey there" Phil replied noticing how informal that was so he quickly corrected himself "Good morning Agent 576, we were just starting".
A year of memories ran through Phil's mind. Starting back in the days, when Dan and he lived together, to the moment of the Charlie incident, the fight with his best friend and the great separation. They hadn't spoken since then actually but he missed him terribly.
He didn't noticed they were both still paralyzed seeing each other until Bethan spoke.
"Oh for fuck sake, you can smell the tension, just sit down, Dan! You guys can stare at each other later" she said. There was a reason why they weren't many young first class agents.
They finally broke eye contact but still thought of a talk they needed to have later. This thing started with the Charlie incident and so it would end.
Dan sat down.
"Right, so…" Another person walked in.
It was Luke the young "kiddo" as they called him at the station even if he was 16 and so was Bethan but it was more a matter of youtube age than real life. He was a third class agent which meant he had been trained to follow, analyze and control field situations. He was what they called a vulture agent. Luke was young and really smart, just a small youtuber but with great plans and expectations. He had brown hair and blue eyes and was almost shaking with excitement when he saw everyone.
"Agent 364 at your service, sir" He said to Phil, the leader.
"Take a seat, 364" 505 replied.
"Sorry, why is he here? I thought this was confidential." Emma said. This made Luke sigh. Not the first time this happened.
"He is here because he saw Charlieissocoollike and by far he is the only witness but if you have seen him, Emma, we can listen to your tale first" Phil said making the pink haired girl shut up.
"Proceed, 364".
"Okay, so it was at Hyde Park at around 5:30 p.m. He was playing the ukulele. I saw his face. I'm 100% sure it was him. I just ran away and called the station".
Deep silence.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you understand this is a mayor situation and we can't let the field agents take care of it by themselves" 505 explained and made Luke feel offended "we are going to need something else. Someone else. We need to call the more-than-professionals. We need The South Team"
A scary deep silence invaded the room and everyone but Luke was in the verge of mental collapse.
