98 Decisions

Concern filled my face as I looked at him with worry in my eyes. I didn’t want him to be sad or anything after everything that had happened today, so I went and sat next to him before I said anything. “Are you alright?” I asked him with a concerned expression on my face.

He lifted his head from the plate of food that he had in front of him, as he gave me a weak smile before he nodded his head. He then sighed deeply before he let out a small laugh. “Yeah...” he said, and he let out another laugh. “It hurts though.”

“I’m sorry,” I said softly as I reached out to touch his bruised face gently. His whole face seemed swollen as if he had a terrible black eye, but he didn’t look bad.

September sighed in response as she shook her head with a worried look in her eyes, while she had her hands on her hips. “Those guys were just fools,” she said with an annoyed tone in her voice. “Fools, I tell you! They deserved that!”

I looked at her with surprise as I tilted my head to the side with a confused look on my face as she continued. “Deserved what?” I asked. September stuttered a bit as she looked at me before she sighed and muttered something under her breath. I sighed, but chuckled a bit.

September was very worked up after everything that happened, so she was probably just overreacting. That was fine though because I felt the same way too, so she wasn’t alone. I don’t think they know we’re from the YMPA.

I chuckled lightly again before I shook my head and said, “That’s not true.” If they didn’t know, how come they didn’t question us on who we were or why we were here? It would be weird if they just knew everything about us without us telling them anything about ourselves.That’s a stretch though. It doesn’t really make sense if they just knew everything about us without us telling them anything about ourselves. Maybe they did, and they haven’t revealed yet that they know who we are? It makes more sense that way.

September shrugged her shoulders before she turned to look at me, as if she was going to say something.

“So, what do we do now?” Nikki asked suddenly as I could see a hint of worry in her eyes as well as Greg’s and Malachi’s faces.

.....

“Just trying to find a way to get back to Russia, I’m pretty sure the TSA boat is leaving by now,” Malachi said, sounding as if he had no emotion whatsoever. He was probably thinking about the fight that happened with those boys again.

But right at that moment, I heard someone say, “They won’t be leaving until a week or so.”

We turned around, seeing Captain Vance and Yvonne walking into the cafeteria. “How did you get that information?” September asked, surprised.

“Well, after we checked your rooms, we saw something that was quite interesting to us,” Captain Vance said with an amused voice as he sat down in one of the empty tables next to us with Yvonne next to him as she looked around the room in confusion before she took out her phone. “The Cybertron pieces.”

Nervousness began to fill my face as I felt my heart begin to beat faster in my chest. “It was something we were trying to prevent from being taken. At least I can confirm you all are actually from the YMPA so we feel safe enough to tell you now. One of our rogue agents, Dmitri Petrov decided to reveal our invention to the world. We believe he was trying to perhaps get rich off of it or something along those lines.”

We were literally about to bring that robot to him and we almost brought it here for nothing. I looked at Malachi with fear in my eyes as he rubbed his temples with his eyes closed as he took deep breaths. “So, do we just leave it to you guys?” I asked. Captain Vance shook his head. “We need to destroy it, but Dmitri Petrov only has the thing to destroy it,” he said.

Well that’s just great, I thought sarcastically, feeling as if a giant weight was placed on my shoulders right about then. “So, we need to start leaving soon?” September asked, sounding nervous.

Yvonne and Captain Vance nodded their heads. “I’ll get a meeting set up for you guys with an agent that is going to be leaving tomorrow,” he said, and then Yvonne stood up with a confused look on her face as she took out her phone again. “Is something wrong?” September asked.

She shook her head, but she still seemed puzzled as if she didn’t understand what she was seeing on her phone screen. “Can we learn their name at least?” Malachi asked, looking around the cafeteria as if he was hoping for someone to walk through the doors at that moment.

“Might as well,” Yvonne said, putting away her phone. “Her name is Vickie Cutter.” She glanced at us with an amused look on her face before she continued, “She’s one of our best agents, so no need to worry.”

“Can we see a picture?” Nikki asked, with excitement burning inside of her. She had been so quiet throughout the entire conversation, which made me wonder if she was just as nervous as I was. I’m pretty sure everyone is, but maybe not as much as I am.

Yvonne took out her phone again and showed us a picture of Vickie, who looked like she was seventeen. She was a very mesmerizing one, with long dark hair that fell down her back and beautiful blue eyes with long lashes. She had a perfect face that was covered by a pale-white skin tone.

We all nodded our heads in approval and we were all starting to get more and more excited. Is everyone in the FMA pretty, cause I mean I might have to switch real quick.

I’m joking, of course, but that does make sense for this universe.

Vickie looked at us and smiled at us before she put away her phone and then walked towards the entrance of the cafeteria as she glanced around to see if anyone was there. But when she saw that nobody was in the cafeteria at that moment, she looked at us and left.

Captain Vance nodded. “We’ll call you once Agent Vickie comes back from a little mission.” He got up from his seat, followed by Yvonne as they left the cafeteria with their own guards behind them, and they both went upstairs into their office as we watched them go in silence.

“So...” I muttered. “That’s something.” Tisiah nodded his head as he agreed with me.

“I wonder what mission they’re talking about,” Greg said with a curious look on his face as he looked at me and then at Tisiah.

***

I sighed, once I plumped on my bed. This underground facility feels very enclosed and cramped. I never knew what it was like to live in such tight quarters before, but it doesn’t seem like this is too bad of a thing to live here. But the sun would be nice to see again I guess.

I got out of my bed and took out my wand and looked at it. I still have never majored in a power that I wanted to use with this wand, but I was still curious about them all. Ice would be nice. Or maybe some fire? Well I don’t really know how fire works but I know ice is supposed to freeze things, which would be a good power to use.

As I was contemplating, I heard the door open, and it was Malachi.

“Hey Connor, Captain Vance wants us,” he said.

We arrived at his office which was quite an interesting place. It had a lot of fancy furniture that was worth a lot of money, so it didn’t even surprise me that the room was large enough for Captain Vance and Yvonne to sit. There were red chairs that were comfortable enough for people to relax in and a couch that was black in colour with gold lines all over it.

“Nice,” Malachi commented as he sat down on the couch. I followed suit as we were told to wait on a chair that was next to each other.

Captain Vance then looked at us before he walked over to a bookshelf that was built into the wall next to him as he took out his phone and called someone. He put it back, and a few minutes later, the same girl we saw before came into the room. She was probably 5’6, which was not a bad size for a girl.

Malachi was already tracking her from when he saw her picture on the phone screen, and he stared at her as if he was entranced by her presence. I could only scoff. “This is Vickie Cutter, Vickie is Malachi and Connor, and the rest of them,” Captain Vance said with a smile on his face before he walked out of the room and left Vickie and us alone.
