"Oh, terrific, Luke. You definitely got the awesome part of the mission" Hannah said as Luke and she walked into the airport.
Hannah was Luke's cousin and she agreed to go with him to pick up the girls at the airport which Phil had commanded Luke to do the previous day. Luke felt amazing by helping the YSS and excited for meeting the famous South Team but he did not expect to have to do this type of stuff. Therefore, he felt lame but he didn't complain because he knew he could be left out of the mission in any second.
Hannah couldn't stop complaining but he didn't care. He was busy trying to picture the girls. What did the girl he heard on the phone looked like? What about the other agent? And what was her name anyway?
He just didn't know how the hell he was going to find them, he didn't know the flight, the names, their appearances. Even thinking of Phil's words ("they'll find you, just wait and you'll recognize them") he couldn't stay calm.
"You look lost, son" someone said.
Luke and Hannah turned around to see a drunk man, wearing a long coat and a hat with a beer in his hand. He was giggling at the teenager's faces.
"Uh…no, don't worry, we're just waiting for someone" Luke said.
"Maybe I can help you, I've seen people going in and out from here all day, haven't I, Josh?" he replied and asked his friend by his side who was as wasted as him.
"Sure you have, Steve"
"So tell me, kids, who are you looking for?" He got closer and the guys stepped back.
"Don't worry, seriously, we can do this, thanks. It's just a friend of mine."
"Well, what does she look like?"
"Uh…"
"What's her name?"
"Uh…I…I…I never said she's a she" Luke noticed and both the old man and Luke stared into each other, standing really close. Hannah was just starting to panic and Josh, the other man, stood up.
"Oh you didn't?" Steve asked "Of course you didn't" said finally with a…girly voice?
He took a step back and Josh a step forward so they were at the same distance from Luke when they took of their hats and mustaches, letting the coats fall and leaving them there as they talked.
"Great" The one that used to be Steve said "I assume you're Luke. My name is Lucy, agent 247 and this is my partner Clary, also known as agent 238".
The other girl nodded as she got a couple of suitcases from under a seat and added "and we are the South Team. Lucy, you should let me do the intro next time cause you always seem the miss the most important bit".
Luke should have said something and he felt so stupid but he just kept staring at them and couldn't believe that was the super amazing Youtube Team. They looked so…normal.
Clary had short curled brown hair which matched her eyes. Lucy had this sort of dirty blond straight hair with green-brown eyes. They both looked 15 or so. He couldn't stop thinking he knew them from somewhere but that was impossible, seen that they didn't have youtube channels to keep themselves out of the spotlight.
"Yeah, right so uh…Luke, at your service and this is my cousin Hannah"
"I thought you weren't allowed to tell people about us" Clary said and looked over at Hannah which Luke predicted her cousin didn't appreciate.
"Well, actually, Hannah knew about the agency before me and she's the one that got me working there so technically, I wouldn't be here either if it wasn't for her" that was the worst attempt of breaking the ice he had ever done.
Lucy and Clary looked at each other.
"Sure, no worries, just let's go, we need to start this as soon as possible"
The walked out in silence. Lucy and Clary just stared at the place, Hannah cursed the girls for being "stupid witches" let's say, and Luke thought of where he knew The South Team from. And then, he remembered. There was this one channel, that one almost internet friend he used to have some time ago, a girl called Lucy who used to vlog until one day she shot the account down and he never heard of her anymore. Until now.
