New Mission

Ethan`s attention returned to Spades.“Mister Valentine, I believe we all should talk somewhere private,” the Chief said with a little smile. They went to a cafe nearby and decided to sit in the table besides a window. The waitress appeared, ready to take their orders. “I`ll have an Oolong Tea,” Ethan said while Spades ordered caffe macchiato. As the waitress left, Spades looked at Ethan and asked “This is your idea of a private talk? “No! but it’s definitely better than standing and talking publicly. Anyway, while we’re here, let`s hear your report”, the Chief insisted.“Alright!, well aside from being normal raiders, they seem to be after the passengers’ devices rather than their valuables. And, before you ask, all the devices were particularly powered by Akyonium,” Allison said with her arms crossed. “For now, we don`t know why they want those. It’s just a common mineral. Though, it’s a well-known energy source which powers every devices and cities in the world,” Spades said as he glance at his revolver. Chief and Ethan looked at each other and nodded. “Well, this confirms our suspicion,” Ethan said.

The same waitress came back with Ethan and Spades’ drink. As Spades sip his macchiato, Allison commented, “Isn`t it your tenth cup?”“Shut up!” Spades replied. “Anyway, what suspicions were you guys referring?” Allison asked. “Well, you see your report is the same as that of other Agents that I sent”, Chief explained. “You’re saying then that it’s connected,” Spades replied.“Well, it is a working theory,” Ethan said. “That`s why we’re sending you on a new mission” Ethan continued. Spades nearly spit his drink said ,“You wanna send us on a mission this early? Come’ on! I’m already pummeled from the previous one,” Spades complained. Allison chuckled and said, Come’ on Spades! We all know you could have finished that mission in 3 minutes”. “Fine! What will be the mission?”Spades sighed. “Very well, Ethan said with a grin, you are aware of what a house is? Right?” Ethan asked. “Are you referring to a cottage or one of those enormous so called Akyionium Academic Institutions?” Spades replied with a little sarcasm. “The second one”, Ethan said before sipping on his tea. “You’re going undercover,” the Chief added. Ethan then hands a folder to Spades. “You need to stop a possible assassination of multiple possible targets” Ethan said as he continue sipping his tea. Spades, after momentarily scanning the folder`s contents asked ,“How can you say there will be an assassination?” “Well one of the thugs captured by one of our agents confessed some information during interrogation, ”the Chief answered. “But it seems, even the thugs, don’t know the targets or who’s the assassin is, so we did a little digging,” Ethan added. “Who are they and what makes them tick?” Allison asked.“Well, we have Luna Zephyr”, Ethan pointing to a young woman wearing formal attire with grey eyes and white ponytailed hair. “Future Senator, she being killed may lead to a little yet massive riot in the court.”

“Next we have Rin Arden,” Chief signaling at the picture of black haired woman with a little malicious grin. “She`s a foreign exchange student. Her family owns one of the largest foundry companies.“After her parent`s death, she is supposed to inherit the company after her Graduation, assassinating her may lead countries to war because of her role in the military government.”

“Zack Johnson, a guy with brown hair and a metal prosthetic right arm, his family may not have the largest foundry company, but they do have connections though powerful friends, ”the Chief explained.

“I thought you said there will be multiple targets, but why only three?” Spades asked. “Well, the problem is, there are many influential students in all houses, we only managed to narrow it down to three,” Chief answered. And speaking of, “Isn’t your 16th birthday today?”

The twins looked at each other and then focus their attention back at the Chief. Momentarily, silence occurred. “Well, since we’re twins, I guess it’s appropriate to give presents” she signaled at Spades. “Yeah,” Ace replied then pulling a little trinket from his pocket, after looking at it, he tossed it to Allison,“Here!” He gestured. Allison opened it, shortly her eyes widened in awe; it was a music box playing a familiar tune. “Mom gave it to me 6 years ago before she died, remember? I think, she’d want me to give it to you”. Allison with eyes nearly tearing up, closed the box and said “Well, I guess as a gift to you, I`ll pay for your macchiato.”She took some dollar from her pocket and put it on the table for payment later. “Let’s go! We got a mission to do” she said as she stand-up. “Alright then,” Spades replied. Before they could pass through the glass door, “Hey, you’re going to use your real names for this mission,” the Chief added with a grin. “Won’t that ruin the word stealthy?” Spades replied. “You’re walking through the front door, the Chief joked, also with you two together, there’s no need for stealth. Oh and don’t worry your classmates are as thesame age as you guys, so you`ll fit right in,” he added. The twins rolled their eyes before leaving.
