~ Chapter 5 ~
Tori drove off with one hand on the wheel while the other was holding her phone; she was texting away.
“Were those two who I think they were?” Alexis asked breaking the silence. She looked intently at her sister, waiting for her to reply.
“I’m on it. I just texted Tom telling him to send us a pic of Alex and Logan,” she responded and put her phone away placing her eyes back on the road. She pulled up in front of their condo’s complex and got out, giving her keys to the valet.
“Good evening.” He tipped his hat and took the key from Tori’s hand.
“Thank you.”
Lexi jumped out of the car and walked to their condo staring off into space like something big was on her mind. Tori followed behind her studying her body language. She was trying to figure out what she was so worked up about. “So...” she started, “what’s on your mind?”
She stopped mid-step and turned to face her. “Do you like Logan?”
Her face turned a light shade of pink, “What are you talking about?” she said trying to hide her face.
“Don’t play stupid with me, Tori! You know exactly what I mean! You can’t like him. Remember who he is! He’s related to the man that took our parents away from us,” Lexi replied getting angry.
“I know who he is! It’s not as if I want to like him. He was just really nice and everything. Maybe he isn’t really our target. It could have just been a coincident that both their names were Logan and Alex.”
“Just don’t do anything ridiculous that will ruin our mission, ok? There’s a reason why we joined this agency and it’s not to grow a little crush on our target.” Lexi said replied calming down, so she wouldn’t loose control. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to get so mad at you. This is just really important.”
“It’s ok, I forgive you. I understand why you’d be upset,” Tori walked over to her and gave her a warm hug.
“Thanks, you’re the best!” Lexi said walking up to their doorstep and unlocked the door. “Well, I think I’m going to get some shut eye.”
“It’s only nine o’clock though.”
“I know, but we have our first day of school tomorrow morning and I need my beauty sleep,” Lexi said walking off to her new bedroom.
Tori froze and widened her eyes, “School...tomorrow?”
“That’s what I said, didn’t I? We’re only seventeen. We have to go school or people will get suspicious.”
Tori shook her head, “Never mind. Good night.”
“Nighty night.” Lexi continued walking back to her room. She stepped inside and examined it taking a deep breath. Her room was very spacious and the walls were painted purple with a black trim around the perimeter of her room.
In the middle of her room against the wall, was a king size bed that had a down comforter that was a dark plum color neatly folded on top. It had five fluffy pillows laid out on the bed with an ivory, wooden headboard.
Behind it, there was a huge window that faced the middle of the condo’s complex. On the left of it there was a vanity desk with a mirror and a bunch of hair products along with different curling irons.
On the wall adjacent to her bed, was a big empty desk waiting to be occupied. Next to it, was a door that led into a walk-in closet. Inside was so big there were 3 more doors on the right side of the closet.The first one opened up to a mannequin with drawers around it that held at least two thousand dollars worth of jewelry.
The middle one had a 180 light-up mirror and the last one was filled with more weapons. It mostly contained hand guns, blades, and a few small explosives. On the wall opposite the closet was another door, but this one led to the bathroom. The floor and sink counter were both marble. There was a big shower with glass doors and next to hit was the hot tub. “Wow,” Lexi breathed. “This is amazing,” she said to herself.
She walked to her bed and changed into a pair of sweat pants and a big shirt that belonged to Tom. She climbed on the bed and set her alarm clock to go off at six. Adjusting the covers, she turned off the lights and shut her sleepy eyes.
