Undercover

"Rian, I have a close up on the girl," I said into the earpiece.

"Sighted, knock out the security," he said.

I aimed the sniper rifle at the security box. I sent a shot through the silenced rifle, knocking out the security. I saw Rian through the scope, helping the girl out of the building. I quickly took out the guard that was standing near by. He fell to the ground, Rian sent me a smile.

"Thanks Lex, didn't see him," he said.

"That's why I'm here. Watch the left, there's guards. Go right," I said into the earpiece.

"Go it, going right."

"See you on the other side."

I turned around and heard a gun cock. I quickly spun around, holding a knife to the mans throat. He threw his gun over the edge and fell to his knees, throwing his hands up in surrender. I tied his arms behind him and quickly exited the rooftop. I ran through the dark stairwell, trying to be as quiet as possible. I quickly went through the pathway that I had memorized. Getting to the point where Rian had been.

"What out, guards at that exit, you need to find a new way out," Rian's voice said.

"No problem, found one," I said.

I quickly ran through the shrubbery that went around the fence. I quickly scaled the fence, careful to keep my back being the only thing visible. That way they wouldn't see me, they'd just see the black suit against the black fence in the dark of night. The more invisible I was the better. The ski-mask I was currently wearing hid any distinguishing features and managed to help me seem as invisible as possible.

I got out and high fived Rian and a voice came over the loud speaker. Oh, did I ever mention that this was training? Neither of us had killed anyone, it was all tranquilizers and things of that such, which is why I had tied up my "attacker."

"Good job boys, I knew there was a reason we paid you so much," my mother's voice rang out.

I pulled the ski mask off, revealing my messy caramel hair and pale skin. I had dark circles around my eyes, I didn't sleep at night anymore. I didn't want this, I had never wanted this. Rian gave me a concerned look which I ignored. Maybe if he wanted to be my friend instead of my boyfriend I would appreciate his advances more. What was I to expect, he was the second youngest agent.

"Come on Lex, let's go to debriefing," he said, grabbing my hand.

"I'll meet you there, I need to stop by the bathroom," I said, coming up with an excuse.

He rolled his eyes and walked out of the training room and towards the board room. I unzipped the top of my jumpsuit, leaving me shirtless. I walked to the bathroom and threw cold water on my face, as if to wake me up. I stared at my sleepless face in the mirror, why me? Why did I have to do this? Why was I given this life? I didn't want it, not at all. I decided to walk back to the board room knowing my parents would kill me if I didn't.

I sat in the only open seat next to Rian, my "fiance." It wasn't that I didn't like Rian, he was a nice guy and he was super sweet. He just wasn't what I wanted, I just wanted to be able to make my own decisions because it seemed more like I was living the life that my parents were molding for me. I didn't want a single thing that I currently had, I didn't want to sound ungrateful though.

"Alexander, what is that," my mother said, pointing at my neck.

"A tattoo," I guessed.

"You aren't allowed to have one of those, it's a mark of identification, they can find you easier now. Don't you know how stupid that was?"

"Calm down, Jack got one too."

"That boy is nothing but trouble, you need to stop seeing him. He's a bad influence on you. I'm sure your fiance doesn't like all the time you spend with him either."

"Maybe I don't care because he makes me happy."

"Alexander think about what you're saying."

"You're right, I'm sorry."

That was a lie, I wasn't sorry, I had nothing to be sorry for. I knew I could never voice this to either of my parents, especially my mother. They were the best at what they did, everyone knew who they were and that had it's pros and cons. Well everyone was a relative term, everyone who had access to this world. I just wanted to make my own life, do what I loved. I knew that there was no chance that I ever could but I couldn't help but wish.

I tuned out the rest of the meeting, them talking about another mission or something. We worked very closely at anyone in a position of power, to keep them safe and make sure they were okay. Wasn't that what we always did though, make sure everyone else was okay except us.

"Alexander, are you listening," my father called.

"Yeah, sure," I muttered.

"Speak with confidence and don't lie to me. Just go home, you're of no use here."

I sighed, standing up from the table. I smiled internally, this was my one shot to escape, to be free. I knew I couldn't do this on my own, I would need one person. I was willing to risk my life, but was the person who was going to be with me? I hope so, I needed him to do this.

"Here I come Jack," I barely whispered.

Notes

Here's the first chapter, I am not sure how long this will be seeing as I never finished it when I originally wrote it. Oh, Alex is eighteen and Rian is twenty in this just in case you were wondering. It will get more interesting in the next chapter more than likely. I don't know why I decided to write this right before I left town but I did so I hope you enjoy it. I will try to regularly update this (or more regularly than some of my other ones).
