CHAPTER 6

The very next morning I had to check on Miranda who's pride was shattered so easily. I had the option to make fun of her but I knew she was at a state of immunity from anything I said after Glenn easily found out.

"I was trained by the rebellion, I had never failed to conceal my identity when I went undercover and Glenn just found out. To make matters worse he made me believe that I won."

"You still contemplating your thoughts about Glenn.you knew he was smart why act so surprised."

"Well if Glenn knows then how many people know of my existence," she said still in her state of mini depression.

"Miranda relax, Glenn will tell us how he knew and then we will know if you're still able to hang low or we can always relocate you."

"Well, I believe he is superior to most people so I will have about twelve more hours before I need to contact the rebellion."

Glenn had arrived by the time I had helped Miranda relax a bit. He had his usual smile but today it was the smile of a winner of someone who accomplished something that had not been done before for a long while. I was curious to know how he was able to figure it out. Miranda also had the glimmer of curiosity in her eyes when she saw Glenn.

"How are you two love birds been ?" He said in a taunting manner.

"Glenn I have about twelve hours to know how my identity was compromised so easily. I don't have the time for your taunts."

"That's new, you have never been in a rush to do things. Well, I better just show you then."

I could tell that even Glenn felt the slight change in Miranda's personality. I was not even sure if he knew what exactly was going on. He walked over to Miranda with a watch pointing at her face.

"Well, the first day I knew something was wrong when my watch went wild in Cyrus's room. Since this is a compass. I carry around with me ."

"Why do you carry a compass with you ?"Miranda asked confused.

"Just in case I go camping. Now afterward I knew there was something wrong since it happened once again in Cy's place."

"Okay not really knew that it was me so far."

"I knew Cy would never date anyone who was not up to his wavelength, so being extra careful I said we just have a friendly dinner."

"Friendly?"I asked seeing his definition of friendly was an interrogation.

"Don't interrupt Cy I am going to lose my flow. Back to Miranda, talking with you I was like man this feels like I was talking to someone exactly like you, a clone of you ."

He did have a point. He rarely cares to be serious in normal conversations but yesterday night felt like a real conversation and I could see his fire burning .the fire that sparked whenever he was using his big brain energy.

Glenn continued, "so obviously I thought you were a living ghost manifested by Cy's undying passion for your survival, or maybe you were not dead after all. "

"Undying passion for my survival." She said now flatly.

"Well, I only put that as a thirty percent chance of that being the case so I caught you off guard to see your reaction, by mentioning your name."

"So I let it slip so easily didn't I?"

"Not exactly there were so few other things that I noticed. Like your complete obsession of separating your food and then mixing them up on your fork."

"How is that a sign?"

"How does that even account for anything?"

"It can count more than you think, it's not the bits of information I gathered it was the entirety of it. Plus I know the both of you so well, Cy tried pretending he was good after you I presume faking your death and suddenly a new girl and he seems better than before. Of course, I would take into account the situation. Plus Cy is a cinnamon roll if you ever did die he would visit your grave every day. From the get-go him not attending the memorial services or even mentioning your death already ticked me off."

Glenn was had thought about the situation a lot from what he said. But in any situation, I knew he would be the first to take notice of odd behaviors.

"All say use to say was she is gone which was weird since never once in his life had he said you died or passed or used anything to indicate your death. Maybe it is his weakness for lying."

"Yeah he is terrible at that," Miranda said agreeing with him which surprised me since she rarely agreed with Glenn on anything.

I was worried that they would double team me in the future to completely shatter my self-esteem.

"Now, Miranda how the hell are you alive!"He was finally back to his loud self.

Miranda and I looked at each other, we could both tell without even speaking that Glenn was absolutely going to know eventually even if it was in the far future. It was better if we just told him what was happening. I was just glad that Glenn found out without breaking my pinky swear. I took it my pinky swears seriously. Therefore, I decided to tell him all at once on what had happened five years ago. Also giving him the reason why Miranda was back, he took most of the things well and other times he was just mortified by the actions of The Executive.

"Well, I use to say that you two will becomes fugitives of the law by I never meant it seriously." He said pouncing standing up

He lunged forward and pulled Miranda and me into one big group hug.

"I missed being your beautiful third wheel."He exclaimed nearly crushing my ribs.

I smiled at the thought of being back again. Something that I never really thought would ever happen again in my life.

"Now that you are here, alive and well but are still going undercover what is your plan on finding this ...XR guy and what will happen to you and the Executive since you were working with them when you left?" He said releasing us from the tight hug.

Miranda looked at him and I could see the fire in her eyes. It was a fire of hatred and I noticed it. Even Glenn could tell that she was serious about the matter.

"The executive is just a group of privileged murders. They are the reason that Gnedwall has a civil war going on. I will never side with them again. They let the people fight so that the team who were sent there could obtain valuable resources from the country. While they are too busying fighting each other, they are stealing from them. Every dispatched soldier who is sent there is relocated to the mines and lands to protect the explorers, miners, and scientists there. Unless the people know what is going on they will never stop." She said clenching her fist in a ball.

" They need innocent citizens to fight for selfish reasons, but all I need is proof that they're going against what was agreed upon by the peace treaty signed by the group of nations. Once that is exposed an investigation will take place and new soldiers will be dispatched to Gendwall. Once the citizens know they will be angrier at themselves for letting it go for so long and it will eventually stop. Those orchestrating the plan will be taken down, that's why I'm here that's why I asked Cy to help me find XR to leak the documents as soon as possible."

She looked at Glenn with serious eyes waiting for his response to her explanation, I was hoping that he would side with us. I could never tell what ran through his genius mind. He may be his friends but I knew Glenn was logical and he knew when to actually hope in something and when to leave the idea to rest. I wasn't sure what he was ever going to say but he always wanted to help us out whether it will fail or not.

"I want in," he said smiling, "You think I am going to let my two best friends save a country by themselves without being there. I am here to stay." He said making me even more hopeful than ever.

Miranda immediately wanted to reject the idea since she never wanted to put even more lives on the risk. Glenn stopped her before she could get a proper statement.

"Both of you are easy to read and you barely function like normal human beings. I have studied behavioral patterns for years and I am more 'human' than both of you heartless robots you barely know how to process human emotions instead you try processing them like your computer algorithms. As much as XR has some big brain energy he is still human, I can help you get him faster. "He said actually making even better points than before.

I just wanted Glenn to know but by having him on our side could help things go faster and I could get Miranda back after her mission was completed. The quicker we could find XR the closer we were at saving Miranda from going back to Gendwall.

"If you need help with people who actually trying to lie do you really think you'll make it?" He said smiling.

Miranda looked at me waiting for my response, I guess she already knew that I always wanted Glenn on the team.

"Okay, you already knew too much so I guess we are all going to die on this hill." She said making Glenn jump in joy.
