'Oh man...I didn't think they'll find out this soon,' Ethan said, relaxing his back on the tree.
'Well,' Andrew started, looking up from his phone. 'We weren't really being inconspicuous about the whole thing.'
Ethan frowned as he turned to Andrew.
'What's inconspicuous?'
Ryan gave a mild chuckle. 'I didn't think you'd know.'
Ethan looked up at him angrily. 'What?! I dare you to come down and repeat that!' he demanded angrily as he looked up at Ryan perched on a branch of the tree.
'Oh shush Ethan!' Suzanne hit his head.
He groaned and moved away from her, protesting as he went. 'You did hear what he said, didn't you?' he defended himself.
Suzanne crossed her arms across her chest. 'He has his reasons,' she offered as she sided with Ryan.
Ethan frowned deeply at her.
Ryan soon lost interest in bo
'Squad 10 and 15 get into position,' the woman instructor said.Suzanne took in a deep breath. It was their turn. Ethan nodded at her before yelling 'Let's take them down!' She couldn't help laughing. 'Get ready to lose!' Ethan called out to Squad 15 as they all held on to the rope.Luke snorted. 'You talk like you could actually pull it off!''Ready?' Riz started.Janet did not take her eyes off Andrew. He was planning something behind that bored facade and she knew it.'Set?'Ryan gripped the rope tighter. Ava smirked. This ought to be easy, I'm a rope handler, it's my kind of weapon anyway. She thought confidently.Snow looked determined.'Go!'Both sides pulled hard. 'Everyone lean right!' Ava yelled and squad 15 tilted, making squad 10 lose balance.
Everyone turned to him. 'What are you doing?' Snow asked in a harsh whisper. He ignored her and took a step towards squad 10, at least the three that remained.He jabbed his fore finger at them.'No way...,' he repeated angrily, glaring at them. 'You hear me? No blantant way!''What is it Luke?' Ethan faced him sneeringly. 'Can't stomach a little defeat?' he mocked.Luke shoved him on the chest furiously. 'How dare you!''After trying to push our team apart you think you'll escape unharmed after stealing the star we ought to have earned?!'Ethan was jolted back. He furiously moved nearer to Luke. 'You dared to touch me with those dirty hands of yours?!''Besides,' Suzanne snorted from where she stood. 'We won fairly and cleanly!' she added, a smug smile planted on her face.'Now squad
'Get off Reece!' Greg growled sending a blast of fire free from his gadget. Snow ducked just in time to weave the blazing heat and a nearby building caught the fire from Greg's blast.A few of the CINs they had there rushed quickly to the scene.Riz quickly sprouted into action by pouring out water to quench the rapidly growing fire. Miranda ran inside the building quickly to evacuate the occupants in an orderly manner.A laser marked Suzanne's arm.Blood gushed out from the cut. She growled and turned to the source. Annabelle grinned maliciously. 'That's just a taste of what you're going to get anytime you dare to cross me--'Suzanne clenched her fists.Annabelle had hardly finshed talking when Suzanne jumped up and threw a punch at her but she skillfully somersaulted backwards, avoiding being hit.Suzanne's fist hit the ground and
Andrew was the only slad who sat far off with his laptop, not bothering to stand and listen to the angry speech the female supervisor was giving.Afterall, according to him, he wasn't part of the squabble.'Listen here!' The woman repeated again in a high shrilled voice. Everyone faced her. Most were sober by now.'This camp has been running for twenty-five years now....,' Someone gave a low whistle. Twenty-five years was a long time. Snow glared at Reece. He rolled his eyes at her.'And never in all my years of being here has the slads who were sent here risen up to the extent of fighting one another in my presence,' her voice was croaky. A bit of smoke had gotten into her throat during the hullabaloo.Some people murmured,'Sorry ma'am,' but she completely ignored them. 'And never has anyone been sent here without returning with a heart for team work!' she went
Their CIN glared at them really hard. Miranda walked up to her. 'I got here as quickly as I could,' she told Miranda. Squad 4 shuffled and fidgeted endlessly.'Right. You can see what they've done. Others too were involved of course but they played a major part too,' Miranda informed Squad 4's CIN.'CIN Lillian actually....,' Wallis started but quickly quietened down when she threw him a death-threatening glare.Lillian faced Miranda again. 'I'm terribly sorry and I apologise on behalf of Squad 4. Don't worry...,' she glanced at Squad 4 with a hardened gaze. '....They'll get what they deserve.'They all shuddered visibly except Edward who just looked away.'Alright. Your punishment starts now,' Lillian pointed to the old car she hired. 'With that!'Annabelle held back a groan. The previous squad had also started their punis
'I'm dropping you all off in your various homes before leaving for my mission,' Aiden informed his companions in the car.'Who'll train us when you're gone?' Ryan asked quietly. Aiden looked through the rear-view mirror. His sliver eyes met Ryans' blue ones.He focused back on the road.'The E-rank exam is in four months time,' he said simply. Andrew paused in his typing and turned to look at Aiden. Ethan's ears perked up. Aiden smiled inwardly. He had all their attention.'Normally I ought to be here to train you four, but I got an urgent mission out of the blues and Coach Gwen won't be around. She's been gone since last week on a mission that is bound to take some while. I'm not sure when she'll be back but I can affirm that I'll be back two days before the exam ' he offered as he drove on, heading towards Andrew and Suzannes' neighborhood.'What do you want us to do
The doorbell rang twice.Shane groaned as he was the only one downstairs in the exercise room on the tread mill. 'Suzanne get the door!' he yelled as he just didn't want to be disturbed.His mum's voice came from the kitchen where she was baking. 'Shane get the door, Suzanne's still in bed.'Shane huffed as he got off the treadmill, grabbing a towel as he passed by and swung it around his neck. His dad should be in his study by now.He glanced at the clock before heading towards the main door. It was some minutes past 10. He shook his head, a bit annoyed.'Of all the twin to be stuck with!' he muttered under his breath.The bell rang again.'I'm coming!' he yelled as he hurriedly opened the door.Standing on the other side of the door were Andrew, Ryan and Ethan.Andrew stood tall,
Andrew worked on his laptop. Suzanne sat facing him.'Okay...what sort of Rolex are you? What are your memories of the lab you were experimented in?' Andrew asked her.She opened her mouth and closed it again.He looked at her, waiting for a reply.'I don't know,' she shrugged.He rolled his eyes. 'Of course I can't depend on you for answers,' he muttered to himself mostly.'Alright. I've been watching you ever since we were partnered up.'She looked at him strangely. 'That's wierd.'He frowned. 'I don't mean whatever you're thinking,' he said off handedly. 'Anyway I noticed you have physical strength. Running a quick analysis ' he informed her. He got out his phone and a green light scanned her.'Let's go,' he said as he walked with her behind him to the nearest parking lot.
