I slipped out of bed, and I went to the training room, and thought about what happened to Kim. What if Monica knows about Kim's personality change? She could use it at her own advantage.

I can't let that happen. I turned on my heels, and ran into Kelsey. "Where are you going?"

"Out." I walked past her, she grabbed my wrist.

"Let go of me."

"Not til you tell me where you're going."

"For a walk."

"You're lying." she said.

"Why are you on my case? Why do you even care?"

"Because.." She drifted off. Her grip tightened, I looked into her eyes, and literally saw death. I kept my guard up, I knew there was something wrong with her.

"You know Austin is a real cutie, He'd make a great addition to the team, Monica would be proud."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because, you won't live to tell anyone." She threatened. With my other hand, I grabbed her arm, and twisted it, and kicked her in the stomach, she backed away towards the kitchen, and dragged Austin's body, his chest was bare, she must've knocked him unconscious while he was asleep.

She had the "spine" in her hand.

"Don't..please." I begged.

"Since you said please, I won't do it to him yet, I'll just kill you first to keep you from further misery."

She pulled out a dagger and threw it at me, I ducked out of the way, and landed in front of her.I kicked her in the chin, she stumbled backwards.

I jumped up, and scissor kicked her.

She grabbed a kitchen knife,and threw it at me but missed by merely two inches. I pulled it out of the wall, and threw it back.

It hit her square in the arm. She looked like she had never endured such pain. She ripped the knife out, and ran off. Maybe she isn't as strong as she thinks she is.

I cleaned up the blood on the ground, and disposed of the evidence.

I walked over to Austin, the "spine" seeped through his actual back.

"Austin, wake up!"

His eyes opened, and he sat up. I quickly grabbed the two ends of it, and ripped it out. He winced.

I opened up the file that Kenny sent me. I read over it, and realized if I stared at it long enough, I would know the message. It said in huge bold letters : Kelsey is an assassin, don't trust her.

I kind of wish he told me that earlier.

I opened up the spine, and examined all the wiring. I clipped a few wires, and reconnected a few.

I closed it up.

I put it under my shirt, and felt it connect. I did the same for another one, and handed it to Austin.

I helped him put his on. I looked into his eyes, they were now blood red. I worked.

"Are you ready?"

He nodded. "Ready when you are."

My only fear is we're up against one assassin, and two mind- controlled assassins. I'm not sure we'll make it back from this mission.

We come up from the sewage system., and into the car. We take the usual route, but I noticed someone following us. I hit the accelerator, and began speeding..again. I lost them, and ended up at the warehouse in no time.

We snuck in, and heard yelling coming from one of the rooms.

"Kelsey, I can't believe you lost against Kara." she said.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

"I know it won't, because you won't be alive to do it again."

She gasped.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll be gentle. Monica pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger, Kelsey fell to the ground, instantly.

We quickly stood in the middle of the warehouse, we stood in position.

Austin went to go find Kim and Jack.

Monica, came out, looked at me, then threw a dagger at me.

I caught it, I felt a piercing pain, my hand became sticky and warm with my blood.

Pain wavered in my face. She saw my weakness.

She chuckled. "You're weak."

My cover was blown. Monica ran towards me. She threw a few punches, I blocked them. She pushed me to the ground. I reached into my pocket desperately hoping for something. I pulled out a dart, I threw it, and it got her in the neck.

"A dart? You;re pathetic and predictable."

I scoffed. She pulled out a dagger, and it hit me in the chest. Its not a pretty sight to see a dagger in your chest.

Shakily, I pulled the dagger out, and I looked down at it. A strange feeling began to overwhelm me. It felt twisted. I felt a sickening smile curl up on my face.

I started shuffling towards Monica, who was also a little wobbly from the dart. I stabbed her side with the dagger.

For some strange reason, I felt sick, yet satisfied.

She pulled it out, and dropped it on the ground.

She tackled me, and began strangling me. Slowly, I began losing my breath. I dug my thumb into where I stabbed her, right below her rib cage. I pushed her off me, and stood up on my feet. She kicked me in the stomach, she tried to do it again, but I kneed her in the throat, then stomach. I shoved her head against a metal pole . She fell to the ground, unconscious. I need to wrap this wound on my chest, and find Kim.
