We swam back to shore, made our way back to the hotel room, and hid all damage made, before anyone could notice. Ally changed her clothes, and handed me some clothes.
She grabbed her backpack, and waited for Austin.
"You got everything?" he asked.
Ally nodded, we snuck out of the hotel, and we got into a camaro, and drove for a few miles, until we ended up at the abandoned warehouse.
"This is the warehouse, don't you think it yells secret hideout." I said.
"It's not here. It's there." Ally said pointing to the sewers.
I nodded, opened the sewer system, and jumped in.
A corridor led to a wall. Ally tapped on the wall, a panel appeared, and she put in a code.
5-4-7-2-0-1-2-5-6-0. The door lifted off the ground.
The first thing I saw was a huge screen, a table filled with grappling hooks, guns, watches, earrings, and a necklace. Also there was a lounge area, kitchen, and three bedrooms.
I touched the necklace that was around my neck. No one really knew I had this necklace, it was my mom's. I tucked it back into my shirt.
"Why are you after Monica?" I asked.
"We have sources that she's working with Aleksandr, and she has access to this freaky mind control device."
"What about you? Why are you after Monica?"
"She took my best friend."
That is all I could say. What's more to say?
A constant beeping filled the room. Austin lifted the watch off the table.
"She's nearby, let's go."
Ally grabbed the gadgets off the table, and she put a different code in 0-5-1-0.
We walked out, and door closed. We climbed up the ladder, and into the car.
Austin put the coordinates in the GPS, and we ended up in a crowded area of Tokyo. We got out of the car, and looked around. Austin and Ally stayed ground level, and I looked from the rooftops.
I searched faces, figures, movement. I noticed a flare of red hair. Monica.
I grabbed a pair of binoculars, and watched her. She sat outside at a café, she was waiting for someone. A man soon appeared he had blonde hair, and light brown eyes, a resemblance to Austin. He sat down at the table, with a file, he handed it to her.
She smiled, and got up.
"Subject spotted." I said.
Monica quickly walked over to a person with a leather jacket, and sunglasses. I felt my blood go cold; I immediately knew who it was. Jack.
I jumped off the roof, and landed on my feet. Jack
Monica and Jack hugged, and kissed. My heart literally broke into pieces. I watched as Monica simply walked away. If he left me, I need to know why, so I can go on with my life.
I walked right towards him. "J-Jack?" he looked up.
I walked closer
"What happened to you?"
"Look Kimberly, I don't love you, I never have, and I never loved you, so how about you just go back home and just go into your little hole and cry, since you barely have any family left."
"Maybe I could squeeze in some room for you." he said with a sleazy smile on his face. He put two fingers on my chin, and tilted my chin and leaned in. I didn't like the way this felt.
When he said that, everything just hurt. This isn't Jack.
I pushed him away from me, I pushed him hard, he bumped into a post, and his sunglasses fell to the ground. He looked up at me to reveal blood red eyes.
I immediately felt…fear. I read his eyes. He was looking for blood.
I quickly ran through the big crowd, and bumped into Austin.
"What's wrong?"
"Run!" he immediately got the message.
Jack is the strongest assassin among us; he just doesn't make it seem like it.
Austin and I separated. Jack's following me, not Austin or Ally.
I hopped up from a car, grabbed onto a windowsill, and climbed up onto the roof. I ran, and jumped from roof to roof. I stopped and turned around, and was tackled and pinned to the ground.
I looked straight into his red eyes. I struggled out of his grip, but it was tight. I don't know what could happen, I can't seem to find a trace of the guy I once knew.
"Stop struggling!" he said. But I didn't listen I kept trying to get away from those Bright red eyes.
He held my face with his hand, and made me face him. His lips crashed to mine, but it wasn't a gentle sweet kiss. It was forced. I used my free hand to grab his hair and pull backwards. He moved to the side, I quickly hopped onto my feet, and ran towards the edge of the roof, and jumped off.
I can't believe him, but it's not him. I scanned the crowd; Monica was nowhere to be found. I found Austin and Ally, and we drove back to the warehouse.
Ally pulled out the file that I saw Monica have. "The one Aleksandr gave Monica was the real one, but I stole it."
She laid out the contents on the table. It showed a diorama of something that took the shape of a spine. It seeps into the skin, connects to the spine, and somehow takes control of the brain. The only side effect, it turns the eyes red.
"Kim! Your eyes."
"Yeah, it's normal for me."
Ally told me to follow her; I was led to a room. She used the EEG or the Electroencephalogram to check my brain waves. She connected wires to my scalp and turned on the computer screen After she checked my brain waves, she looked troubled." "Is everything okay?" I asked, while removing the wires from my scalp. "Yeah, everything is fine, perfectly fine." I knew she was lying, it's something bad, I can tell, I won't confront her about it.
