CHAPTER FOUR

It's lunch time or break period or whatever it's been called now and I headed straight to the cafeteria to grab some lunch

And my favorite is today's menu, Chicken nuggets and tater tots, I stopped eating those along time because the NCC said I had to start eating healthy so I can keep fit for my missions, believe me I've been on deadlier mission, including gun fights with a deadly Russian mafia, Best times of my life

I got a corner and sat down to eat, "Mind if I join you?" a female voice said and I raised my head up, it's Yasmine

"Sure, please seat"

"I never got to thank you enough for what you did for me yesterday, you saved me and I hope you don't mind this" she brought out a small box from her bag and handed it to me

"Oh you didn't have to honestly, it fine but thanks a lot" I chuckled nervously as I collected the box and placed it down beside me

"How are you enjoying badger high so far?" she smiled as she stabbed a tater tot with her fork, "Everyone is so welcoming I'm sure I'll love it here" I smiled

"Yeah… yeah you will" she let out a little smile and there was silence between us for a while

"Um so do you happen to know any Marsai Rodriguez by chance" I gestured with my fork as my tongue came out to lick off the little sauce on my lip

Yasmine looked stunned for a while as she stopped eating and her fork froze in her hands, "um hey" I snapped my finger in her face

"Oh sorry, was-just trying to re collect , of course I know her" she said nervously, "o-okay, is she a friend of yours?" I asked

"uh- used to be, but then she transferred back to her school in London" she nodded as she focused back on her plate

So there's no Marsai Rodriguez around here? But how come, the NCC has never given me wrong information before

"Sorry, if I may ask, why did she transfer back?" I opened my bottle of water, "well Marsai got into a lot of trouble when she was still here in Badger high, but the last one she did drew the line, she was selling striped candies to students" she explained

"Candy? She was transferred back because she sold sweets?, that's ridiculous" I scoffed, "No don't get me wrong, Striped candy is another name of drugs around here, she sells it in a thin candy stick, you can either add it to a drink or swallow it raw" she shrugged

"Oh so she was doing drugs then, hmmn, cool" I said under my breath, "And do you know which school she transferred to?" I asked further question

"Oxford academy" she said, Wait the Marsai the NCC described in the email is a timid kind of person so how come she's doing drugs, none of this makes sense, so the NCC sent me wrong information and sent me here on a wild goose chase

Are they trying to get rid of me or what? Are they trying to replace me with Trevor because I see no other explanation for this?

"Why are you so interested in her?" she asked as she dropped her fork, "I just heard she was a bright girl and hoped some of her smarts would rub off on me" I let out a little laugh to hide the uneasiness I'm feeling, I need to talk to Mrs. Burbank

"She was indeed smart, she was also part of the school's choir, I miss her" she smiled softly and I couldn't help but look at how beautiful she looks

"Are you doing anything later?" I asked "well I have work and I but I'm getting off early since a colleague will be taking over my shift" she said and I nodded positively

"Okay so want to come with me for ice cream later today and maybe a walk in the park?" I shrugged, "sure thing" she chuckled

The bell rang and lunch was over, she grabbed her plate and waved at me before leaving and I hurried out of the cafeteria into the boy's bathroom

I opened every toilet door to be sure no one was in and I connected my watch to my ear pod, "Call Mrs. Burbank" I said to my watch and it started ringing, but she wasn't picking up

I started pacing uncomfortably as I called her again, "Hello agent D" she finally picked up

"What's going on Mrs. Burbank, there's no Marsai Rodriguez here, i think I've been given wrong information" I complained

"The NCC never gives out wrong information but if that is true I'm afraid I cannot help you and you have to abort the mission, I have way bigger problems on my hands right now" She exhaled

"What's wrong?" I asked with a concerned look plastered on my face, "Money is vanishing Agent D and the SCC is threatening to sue me, but for now they are keeping tabs on my every movement" she explained, what? They are trying to sue Mrs. Burbank

"Abort the mission Agent D, I'll arrange your flight tonight, you leave tomorrow morning, I won't be available when you land but I'll try to keep contact, See you soon Goodbye" she hung up

So trouble is brewing back at the agency and I've been sent on a wild goose chase, I wonder what surprises I haven't opened up yet.

I need to get out of the school and start packing but I owe that girl a walk to the park, I was starting to get fond of her so sad this has to end quickly

But I need to get to the bottom of this because something just doesn't feel right at all.
