Undercover

My parents left last night for a mission. Usually if they’d be gone for a day or two they’d tell me in advance so I don’t jump to conclusions. But this time was different. It was a routine Op. and they should’ve be home.
But they weren’t..First, it was just a few hours, then days..
I was currently sitting on the couch cleaning my blades. I was on edge knowing my parents still haven’t come back yet from their case. I hear the sound of a car door and my head snaps to the front door. When I hear the sound of boots I grab a blade and stand up, my shoes make no noise as I walk across the hardwood floor.
I jump and grab on the the edge of the wall above the door where there is a space for decorations..but it’s empty much to my advantage.
I hear the sound of voices and can tell by the way they speak so loud they were either mature spies or just stupid civilians trying to sell stuff.
“Just pick the lock and call for her.” a lady snaps and my eyes narrow
They know I’m here.
I think back to what my mother told me once, “You’re our daughter. You will never be safe. Kill anyone who can compromise your position.” she said to me
The door opens after a while and I wait silently.
Once they are both in they shut the door and begin to walk farther into the house. Before they can get past the archway I jump down and attack. I grab both of their arms and flip them stealing their loaded guns. When they hit the ground I aim it at each of them.
“Whoa whoa whoa!” the man puts his hands up. I keep my expression neutral..
“Who sent you?” I ask, reciting the words I have practiced for many many years.
“Put the guns down Katie we-” the woman starts but I lock the switch on both guns ready to go for the kill.
“How do you know I’m here?” I snap
“Your parents sent us!” the man yells suddenly. I keep my face blank and emotionless
“How can I be sure. You should already be dead.” I say smirking
“Your parents are dead. We were sent to take you to our house. We promised your parents that if anything happened that we would take care of you.” the woman says softly and my face remains solid
“I can’t trust you.” I say “Prove it.” I in a bored tone
I knew my parents would die eventually, they are spies and they are hunted by people everywhere.
“This is your mom’s necklace. It was sent to us.” the man says going into his pocket.
“STOP. Don’t move.” i snap and he freezes.
His hand barely in his pocket. I walk over and go into his pocket pulling out a familiar golden chain with a cat charm. It was my moms. I choose the cat when I was little because her nickname for me was Kat.
“We were sent to get you. We need to go immediately. This place is going to be ransacked my government officials any minute.” the woman says.
The spy life can be very conflicting.
Sometimes you have to trust people to make it out alive..this can go two ways.
1- I kill them and then get killed if they are telling the truth, or 2- go with them, risk everything and save myself if they are telling the truth.
I put the guns down and they slowly stand up.
“Katie go get your emergency bag we need to go.” the woman says.
I nod and hurry upstairs. In my room I grab the bag and notice black vans pulling up rapidly. The government.
I sprint down stairs and grab my blades and lucky gun.
“they’re here.” I say hurrying there way. They look at me and nod before we run out the back door. We have a back driveway that leads to a dirt road.
“there are motorcycles grab one and drive out down that way. Hurry!” I order amping up my bike quickly, they do the same and we speed away.
We all drive until we hit the main road. At a red light we stop and take off our helmets.
“We are going to our house. You will be safe there. And we will explain everything.” the woman says.
“Fine.” I nod. I pull my helmet back on and speed away once the light hits green. I follow them into an area I know. I recognize it from being a kid. But I only remember it vaguely..
When we pull up to a house that looks somewhat like mine It begins to hit me.
My parents are dead. I will never see them again. I will never know exactly what they died for.
“Welcome to your new home. Our son will be home from school soon so lets hurry this up. Come on inside.” the woman says.
I walk inside on high alert. I observe my surroundings subtly while they sit me down on a couch.
“Okay we have once chance to say all of this. Remember all of it. Okay?” he gets down to business “I’m Josh and this is Chole. Your parents. You will call us MOM and DAD. Our son doesn’t know we are spies and we plan to keep it that way. You are Amy Keller and you will be attending High School for the first time tomorrow. Our son in enrolled there and will hopefully help you out. We are telling our son that you were a old family friend and your parents died and we took you in.” He says “Okay?” he says
“Yeah okay. I refuse to go to school though.” I glare “I graduated.” I say
“Too bad. You need to fit in. No more guns. no more blades. No more training.” he says and I stand up angrily
“Hell no your fuckig crazy!” I scream angrily
“Don’t speak to me that way!” He shouts
“Guys can you calm down!?” Chloe yells. We all being to yell and shout and cuss. The sound of a door opening shuts us up instantly when we hear multiple guys laughing
“Mom, dad! the gang is here!” an unfamiliar voice says and I become stiff “Mom Dad-” a guy around my age walks in and looks confused when his eyes land on me. Four others walk in behind him and their eyes also fall upon my tiny, yet angry frame.
“Who is this?” He asks checking me out.
“I’m Katie.” I say “And I’m totally out of here.” I say still seething from the School topic. I begin to walk away when I am stopped by Josh’s hand grabbing my upper arm
“We are not done here Katie. Darling sit down.” He says in a sickly sweet tone “Harry..We will explain later. Why don’t you and your friends take Kate up with you and hang out. I’m sure she will explain her situation.” Josh says and I roll my eyes
“Okay? Let go then.” Harry send a friendly smile my way by I just walk past him and up the stairs. I find his room before he shows me the was and sit down on the sofa in the corner
“How did you know where my room was?” Harry asked wide eyed walking in.
“Your mom said take me upstairs. there are three rooms. I guessed.” I say rolling my eyes
“Oh.” Harry says rubbing the back of his neck
“So your situation? What did she mean?” another guy asked
“Um. Well long story short I’m currently living with you.” I say “My parents are dead and I had nowhere to go. Your parents were good friends so they took me in.” I say and the guys give me looks of pity
“I’m so sorry.” Harry says to me
“It’s whatever” I mumble
“How old are you?” one asks
“16.” I say
“Awe you’re so young.” he chirps again.
“So, Katie..This is Liam, Zayn, Niall and Louis.” Harry introduces us and I nod
“So...What do you like to do?” Niall asks
“For fun?” I ask
“Yeah Hobbies?” He explains
“I don’t do anything but train.” I mumble
“What?” Liam asks “Train for what?” he questions
“Nothing.” I say annoyed. I don’t know these people “Excuse me I need to go ask..Josh for something.” I excuse myself
I hurry down stairs and see josh and Chloe talking in the kitchen
“I don’t like this.” I spit at them
“You don’t have a choice Kat.” Josh rolls his eyes
“I’m not going to stop training. Im not stopping my normal life to be...be-” im cut off by Chloe
“Normal?” She says and I glare at her
“This is my normal!” i scream angrily “I don’t like this change! Can’t I go and tell the government who I am and have them assign me?” I question
“No!” the both yell “Your parent want this. let them have their dying wish.” Josh says to me and I stiffen
“I hate this.” I say feeling wetness on my cheek. My hand goes up to my cheeks and I wipe away the moistness. ‘Why is my cheek wet?” i say in a shaky tone
“Baby..Don’t cry.” Josh says softly and I look at him confused and a wave of sadness rushes through me and a sob leaves my mouth.
Never have I ever cried before.
“Josh look what you did!” Chloe yells at josh slapping his arm. Before I could understand anything farther I hear voices coming down the stairs.
“We are headed for the mall Katie want to come?” Harry asks and I nod looking at him
“yeah. Let me change first?” I ask
“Yeah..You okay?” He asks sounding worried
“Yes.” I say simply. “be right back.” I mumble. I hurry to my bag and pull it over my shoulder heading up stairs again. I go to the bathroom and pull out a change of clothes. Black high waisted shorts and a grey crop that reads “Bitch relax” in floral print. I feel as if Josh would hate my outfit. So I wear it. I take out my money and put it into my wallet and then into a purse along with my phone and head back down stairs feeling numb again.
Josh doesn’t even look up before saying, “No. Go change.”
Gaining the attention of the guys who were snacking. They look over and check me out dropping some food out of their mouths.
“I wore it to make you mad.” i smirk “Ready to go?” I ask the guys who nod at me
“Katie do you need money?” Chloe asks
“How come I don’t get offered money?” Harry asks laughing in a playful way
“Because. Do you?” Chloe asks again and I shake my head
“No. I have erm..-” I look at the guys and back at them “My job money.” I say and her eyes widen a bit before nodding.
“Don’t spend it all.” She says
I shrug, “I’ve got enough.” I smirk . She rolls her eyes and I head out with the guys.
“Oh! Sick Who’s are these?” Zayn asks Harry pointing to the three motorcycles
“Mine.” I shrug and Zayn looks at me questioningly
“Really? You sure? you’re only 16..o could you afford these?” he asks
“I just can.” I say not liking him questioning me
“I mean these are sick!” he says in an excited way
“You can drive one if you’d like.” i offer and his eyes brighten
“Really? What if I break it?” He asks his smile falling
“I don’t care.” I shrug throwing him the keys, suddenly the door opens revealing Josh
“No no no no NO.” he says taking two key sets away, “Car for the boys.” he says and I nod
“Sorry. Too much for you guys to handle I guess.” I smile in a playful way while they pout.
I sit on my bike and get instructions from the boys.
“See you there.” I say before speeding off. I go to the city mall and park where we planned. I get off and take off my helmet and lean against the bike while people stare with curious eyes.
When the guys arrive we head inside.
“You okay?” Liam asks when I stop to look around
“Y-yeah.” i say “Just haven’t been here in a long time.” I shrug
“You guys want to eat and then go shop?” Niall asks
“Yeah.” I answer quickly “ I didn’t eat yet. I say and they look at me concerned
“It is like 5.” Zayn says and I shrug
“Food it is” Louis says. We head to the food court. I order a Garden Salad with goat cheese and a Iced green tea and then head to the guys who were sitting.
“Why are you eating a salad when there is SO MUCH junk here?” Louis asks
“I don’t eat meat. I eat fruits and vegetables mainly” I say and they stop eating to look at me
“Um..why?” Harry asks
“Well they feel the cows with hormones and feed them chemicals to make them grow...like steroids. So, indirectly they are feeding us those exact same chemicals. It is killing us.” I say and they look at me wide eyed. Slowly they all push away their meat and eat there other food.
“Oh. I didn’t know that.” Liam says looking sickened
“Yeah, the government makes money this way. they get rid of sick cows because you eat them. less land because less cows. More land means more to sell.” I shrug again
“How do you know all this stuff when your only like a sophmore in Highschool?” louis asks
“I- erm Um.” I don't know how to answer that
“My um parents taught me.” I smile “They taught me lots of things.” I shrug
“What other stuff?” Louis asks curiously
“I know how to defend myself..” I say
“How so?” He interrogates and I look up at him and see him analyzing me. I get uneasy.
Something is wrong here.
“nothing much” I say shortly. I narrow my eyes slightly and notice he was looking over my shoulder and bouncing his knee
“What’s wrong?” i ask
“Some guys is staring at us. It’s creeping me out.” Louis says and I look over my shoulder and see a guy. Well built and in a black suit. Oh crap…
This can’t be good. What if they found me? Wait… They don’t know I exist. nobody does.. AHA. I’m in the clear.
Or so i though...
