Chapter 14

I smack Timothy's head

Yuri: Rude!

Timothy: You know I love you…

I roll my eyes and look at Christopher

I raise my badge to him

And he smiles for the first time

Christopher: So you are not a wandering child

I furiously walk towards him and grab his collar

Yuri: Just because you are taller than me, doesn't mean that you get to bully my height!

He raises his hands up

Christopher: Woah don't get all heated up, it was just for fun

Jayden comes behind me and slowly takes my hand off of Christopher's collar

Jayden: calm down Yuri, let go of the innocent

Jayden turns to Bangchan

Jayden: Sorry man, she gets angry if someone comments about her height.

Isabelle: as she should! We cannot be discriminated against by our height!

Timothy: calm down now, you can't be all defensive because you are taller than most of us

Jayden: I know! She got the good genes

Isabelle: It's not my fault you got popped out first

Chief: ENOUGH! People are trying to work here, and you guys are just talking about random shit!

Everyone stands in attention and salutes

Yuri: It is not random shit sir!

Jayden: Yuri…stand down! He is your boss

I ignore him

He looks at me and shakes his head

Chief: Oh and what is this child doing on base!

Yuri: I am the new secret guard

I shove my badge in his face

Yuri: And no one bosses me around! Especially you!

Chief: Ooh we hired a feisty young lady! I like it, keep up the good work!

Timothy: I think you just scared the chief…

I turn to everyone with a proud smile on my face.

Christopher: Here is your schedule for training and meetings

I open the folder and my worst nightmare has come true

I have to wake up early in the morning for training

Yuri: Why is training so early?

Timothy: it is more effective to train in the morning than in the evening

Yuri: Everything is back to back, when do you guys have time to breathe?

Stephanie: you get used to it, now come, I'll give you a tour of the cafeteria

Yuri: it's just a cafeteria, all it will have is food.

We get to the cafeteria and it looks like a Michelin star restaurant.

Yuri: Wow, this is not just a cafeteria

Timothy: The government pays us well!!

Yuri: You have been working here for 3 years! Why are you surprised?

Timothy: I am always astonished that we are treated well just by saving someone

Yuri: you guys are saving a life

Christopher: Not you…we, you are also part of the team

He puts his arm around me and I look up at him with a soft smile

Yuri: thanks… now do I have a locker or a cubby to put some stuff in

Christopher: Sean? Wanna show her?…

Sean: come on…you will be amazed!

We walk up two flights of escalators and a corridor

And a floor with white rooms pops up

Yuri: Wow it's so bright

Sean, that's because it's a new floor, people still need to settle down in their rooms

Yuri: Okay now tell me where my room is

We walk to the end of the corridor and I see my name on a gold plate

Yuri: Beautiful…

Timothy: it's a plain white room, it looks like limbo

Jayden: Do you have to ruin every moment in her life

Jacob: There was her tenth birthday, 8th-grade graduation, oh and don't forget every surprise birthday party we have ever tried to plan

Yuri: Come on guys, give the dude a break

Isabelle: Yeah, it is not his fault, he can never keep anything to himself…

I turn to Timothy and he has the biggest pout every

I pat his shoulder

Yuri: It is okay, you know we are joking

He nods and we spend more time at the office

**Meanwhile**

Yuri's Dad runs into the bunker house will blood all over himself and a piece of metal stuck in his thigh

Yuri's dad: Yuri?! I am here! Where are you?!

Kara: Who is there!

Yuri's dad: It's me! Kara help me!

Kara: Oh my god sir! H-how did this happen?

Yuri's dad: No questions right now, help me! And where is my daughter

Kara grabs her phone and dials Yuri's number while finding the first aid kit

Kara: She went to the headquarters to get her badge

Yuri's Father: She is part of the secret force team?!

Kara: Yes sir!

He winces in pain

Yuri's dad: AAh

Kara: Sir! Hold on! I am going to help you

He looks down on his leg and sees more blood pooling out of his leg

Everything suddenly goes blurry and he drops to the floor.
