33. Soldiers On

Yibo POV

We drove for 4 hours, Meng Ziyi and I talked the whole way there, I liked her a lot. She seemed to get me very well; part of that being that we had so much in common. I knew we had arrived when there were huge buildings in the middle of nowhere

"They're so obvious" Meng Ziyi teased, I chuckled. "I know, they might as well put a neon sign saying government facility," I said. The bus stopped in front of three people, by the way, they were dressed and their demeanors; they were our superiors.

We got out of the bus and lined up in front of them, there was still silence as the woman in the middle walked up to scrutinize us one by one.

I held my breath and stared straight ahead as she reached me, she lingered on my face and gave a skeptical smirk, and moved on. "Attention!" she screamed and we all saluted "Welcome to the worst month of your entire life, my name is Executive Officer Huacheng and these are my sub-commissioners" she said referring to the two men behind her.

"We will be in charge of your group, though we will not be overseeing your training unless necessary," she said looking at us closely.

"A secret agent is one of the most responsible person, therefore we must do everything bigger, faster and better than everyone else," she said with conviction.

"This is not going to be a walk in the park and if you walk through those doors you better be ready to push yourself beyond your own limits" she said looking at us "Cowards and quitters should get back in that bus and leave immediately, for I want to work with agents here" she added, and no one made a move.

"Good" she said "follow me" she turned and headed towards the first building, She handed us over to another man who introduced himself as Officer Johnson; she said that she would be overseeing our training. She gave us a tour of the facility and what we will be doing.

At the end of our tour she led us into a large room with beds; it looked like a dormitory.

"Clothes and every other necessities are under your beds, bathroom is down the hall. Get settled in, I will be here bright and early tomorrow" she said and turned for the door. She stopped and the woman with her yelled attention and we all stood up straight in silence.

"They call me black eagle around here, I do not take any prisoners. I will be watching each and every one of you, man as well as woman, do...not...disappoint me...GOT it" she said. "Yes sir!" We said in one tone and she walked out. There was another brief silence then the room erupted with whispers and chatter.

I slumped to the edge of my bed facing Meng Ziyi who laid her head on her pillow and chuckled without humor "I like her already" she said, sarcasm clear in her voice. I chuckled too. "I wonder how she got her nickname, then again I guess we're going to find out," I said.

"Are you ready for this?" she asked, and I nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be" I said and gave her a questioning look.. "I don't know, you don't seem like the kind of person that would do this," she said.

"What kind of person do I seem like then?" I asked and she gave me an apologetic look "No offense, but you seem like the type that would spend all day walking on ramps or performing dance on stages... you really look like those K-pop idols" she said.

"Ouch," I said chuckling "I didn't grow up wearing designer clothes you know, I grew up knowing that I had to work for everything I wanted," I said looking down. She nodded reverently

"I figured out," she said smiling "You're a lot more grounded than the average pretty face" she added and I smiled too. We talked about why I was doing this; my reasons seemed to shock her.
