Chapter 157
157 The Return back to the JSA
That gave me a tingly feeling-not a good one, of course-as I looked around me and realized that everyone was staring at us, with fear and anxiety written all over their faces.
“We don’t have much time,” Maddie said in a low voice as I heard people begin to move around, whispering and whispering about something. “The only thing we can do is continue with our mission,” she said as everyone nodded their heads again, before she began to look at them one by one, as if trying to figure out who was YMPA and who wasn’t.
“Now, another thing is that there is a whole team behind us, spying on this conversation right now. So, I want you guys to go out there and kill them all, okay?” she said calmly, as my eyes widened in fear, wondering how many agents she had on her side. But Tisiah didn’t seem to notice; instead he was smiling at her with confidence and composure in his eyes.
“I want you guys to create groups, and hunt them. Kill them before they go for their flight. We need to get Masaru Kinu in his state right now,” she said, and my heart dropped into my stomach.
“How many agents are we talking about?” a man with a bald head asked from the table. He seemed to be in his thirties and wore glasses as well. “Seven to ten of them,” she said. “That should overpower them enough. But I want to find this one girl, September Cavery.”
All of a sudden, a picture of September lit up on the screen, and I felt my eyes widen at what I saw. The picture was grainy-it looked like a picture taken from far away and it was blurry at certain points-and there was something sinister about it all. “Biggest threat to our entire operation,” she said, looking at each of them, as if wanting them to understand what she was saying. “If we let this girl slip through our hands-she is going to destroy everything we worked for,” she said as she looked around at each of us again, and then she smiled and nodded her head. “No one wants that.”
The guards nodded.
“Now, start planning your groups, and don’t go for Masaru Kinu yet. The JSA is busy with them and we only have so much resources, but focus on taking out her and her group.”
“Is she from the JSA?” someone asked, as I looked around the table and noticed that there was another man who had been quiet so far. He had light skin and black hair that was combed back and he wore glasses like the bald man. “No, but she is from the YMPA,” Maddie Cane answered, as the bald man seemed to become more confused.
.....
“You should take her first,” Maddie continued as she looked at me. “You should take her out first.”
I’m not sure why she was looking at me so much, but I felt my heart pound as my blood rushed through my veins.
“But she has friends,” someone said from the table, and everyone turned around to look at a woman who was wearing a brown jacket. She had short light-brown hair and she was wearing glasses as well. “She has friends,” she said again as she looked at me as well, “so we need to take them out as well.”
“Yes, these people,” she said as she hit the remote again.
Now it showed me, Tisiah, Malachi, and Nikki as well, all with me wearing this weird outfit: a long green jacket and a blue shirt. “These are the people you need to kill,” Maddie said as she smiled.
“Oh, what’s going on?” Tisiah said under his breath, while I sat there in shock at what was happening. “I have no idea...but this is bad,” I responded, feeling my heart getting heavy, and I could feel my palms sweaty. “I think we’re being set up.”
“Now that you have your orders,” Maddie Cone said, as I saw her glance at Tisiah briefly. “Get to it.”
All the guards stood up from their seats, before they began to leave the room, while Tisiah stood up from his chair as well and he started to walk towards the door. “We need to get out of here,” I said under my breath.
“Yeah,” he said. Quickly, we moved downstairs to the first floor, the floor with white walls and everything, and then we made our way through the lobby and out the front doors of the bunker. “This isn’t good,” he said as we walked quickly out the front door of the bunkers, as two guards watched us from afar.
Tisiah pulled out his radio. “Do not attack the bunker,” he said. “Why not?” the agent asked, sounding pretty disappointed. “Because we just heard they’re planning to hunt us. And if we attack, we won’t know any more information.”
The agent sighed, and Tisiah shut off the radio, before he put it back in his pocket and kept walking down the stairs. “Let’s go, quick,” I said with panic in my voice.
Soon enough we arrived at the hill, seeing September and Malachi over there. “What are we going to do?” I asked nervously.
“I don’t know,” Tisiah said with frustration in his voice as he looked at September and the two others with her. Malachi sighed and shook his head. “This is bad,” he said. “And I mean very bad.”
“What are we going to do?” I repeated myself as I looked at him in worry. “Hopefully the JSA will protect us,” he said, looking at all of us, while we looked back at him, with worried expressions on our faces.
“I really hope they do.”
“Alright, let’s go!” I heard the lead agent say, as we followed him back to the line of vehicles, where he was waiting for us. “This is our chance! We need to move out!” he yelled, and he turned to us. “Everyone, get in your cars!”
“Yes, sir!” the agents responded back abruptly, making their way towards it, while we made our way to it as well. Soon enough, we got inside our cars, which were parked near the bunkers; they were the same cars that we had been using so far, so I was glad that I was in one of them with Tisiah.
“Well, we’ve been hunted before,” September said, grunting as she sat in the car, while I took the front passenger seat next to Tisiah and Malachi took the back passenger seat next to Nikki. “But this is something new.”
“Well, that one situation with Rocke was um-terrifying,” Tisiah said with a shrug, while we drove down the hill, getting ready to leave the base. “I’m just hoping that everyone here will be okay.” September sighed, “But she’s really going for me here though.”
I patted her on the back. “Been there before,” I said, making her chuckle a bit, which made me smile.
“We’ll be fine,” Malachi said with confidence as I turned my head to look at him; he was sitting in his car with his legs crossed over each other. “We’ll be fine. All we need to do is to keep Masaru Kinu safe, and just keep ourselves safe.” Nikki nodded, as we all did too.
Eventually, we arrived at the JSA. The gate opened, as the cars went through, and then we parked in a row right in front of the main building of the JSA. As we got out of our cars, we saw several men standing by their vehicles in front of the building. “I’m tired, I’m ready to go back to the YMPA,” Malachi said, stretching his back, while September stood by the side of the building with her hands in her pockets, as she looked up at the sky.
We entered as B came out, seeing all of us. “What did you find?” he asked. “They know about you guys helping us, and they’re now specifically hunting us,” I responded with a frustrated smile, as he nodded.
“Alright, come inside,” B said, as we walked inside the building with him. Once inside, we saw a few agents with machine-guns, just sitting in a room with one of them on the phone. “So, you guys are being hunted by Maddie Cone?” he asked. “We’ve been through something like this before,” September said with a sigh.
“But the BMO are very smart people, and they always know how to track you,” B said. “It’s their specialty.” Nikki scoffed, “An annoying one.” B sighed and worry came across his face, as I looked at September.
“So what are you going to do?” she asked B with her hands on her hips. He didn’t respond immediately. “You’re going to help us right?” she asked. He nodded, but without an vocal answer, before he continued on his phone call.
“So this is bad,” Nikki said.
“We’re going to get everyone together,” B said as he hung up the phone, before looking at us again. “And we’re gonna make sure you guys or Masaru don’t end up six feet in the ground alright?”
