"If you're ever tired of being the team leader, you could just hand it over to me." Lauren offered
"How sweet," Simi said in sarcasm.
"Suit yourself, sis. You might need that break." Lauren pressed on.
Naomi showed up at the living area, all dressed in black, her mission suit to be precise.
"Look who's gotten taller over the year uh?" Lauren teased.
"Ignore her. She's high on..chips" Simi said smiling at Naomi
"Like that's a thing." Lauren mocked
"It's a thing now that I said it." Simi faced Naomi.
"Are you ready? The change of clothes. The glue.."
Naomi raises her backpack for Simi to see.
"Someone is pumped for this uh?" Laren couldn't stop laughing.
She's trying to piss Naomi off and that wasn't and isn't a smart move on her side.
"The motorbike will be better," Simi said handing Naomi the keys.
Kat tossed Naomi an ear bud who caught it midway in the air.
"Keep it on at all times. A guard is doing some routine checks."
Naomi heads out.
"I'm taking your bike, Lauren," she said before slamming the door behind her back.
"WHAT?!!" Lauren yelled.
Simi and Kat tried to hide their laughter; they knew Naomi would get even for all of Lauren's insults.
"What's so funny?" Lauren asked in anger
"Naomi always gets even for every insult Lauren. You should know that by now." Simi pointed out
"Only this time, your motorbike will take the hit," Kat adds.
"What do you mean by 'take the hit'? Did she do something to my things?"
Simi shrugged.
"Go check."
"That little…" Lauren marched to her room.
"Do you think she…" Kat whispered to Simi, who nodded in agreement.
"THAT LITTLE PEST!!" Lauren yelled
"I think she did " Simi laughed
"This never gets old." Kat laughed.
Lauren marched down the stairs; her clothes in hand ripped into two.
"She tore my clothes," Lauren said, as though reporting a naughty toddler to her mother.
"She didn't tear all of it did she?" Kat asked feeling sorry for Lauren.
"Does she have to rip apart all of my clothes for me to get mad?" Lauren asked in annoyance.
"I'll focus on the screen then." Kat informed, meaning she was done listening to Lauren as well as trying to contribute to the issue at hand.
"Simi?" Lauren called.
Simi shrugged.
"I don't know what else to do Lauren. I can't suspend her or anything. We're on a mission here and whatever she does would have to wait till the mission is over."
Lauren groaned loudly in annoyance.
"How long is this mission going to take?" Lauren asked Kat who ignored her.
"Katerina!" Lauren called
Kat didn't spare her one glance.
"Till further notice. This mission doesn't have an termination date yet. Reasons why we need to be more careful around here." Simi offered.
"You're telling me that I can only make a complaint after the mission is over?" Lauren asked, seething with rage.
"Yeah. Sorry," Simi said simply.
Lauren needed not to be told that Simi didn't mean that last part.
"Screw all of you!" She went up to her room, slamming the door hard behind her.
Simi laughed
"Touché"
"Yeah. That"
