And I meant it.
Totally did not see that coming.
'I was expecting a cool door and a secret tunnel or something.' He murmurs, just loud enough for me to hear.
'Yeah I mean look at this, a huge armoury and a testing room?' I reply before I can stop myself and turn to see him smile.
Dearest mouth of mine, learn to shut up and ignore.
I shake my head and stare at Angela who is now stepping inside.
'So I hate to break this to you but once you step in this room, only one of you gets out as a licensed agent.' She gestures to the papers in her hand, 'I have your documents and the official stamp in hand but as I said, I stamp only one.'
Neil reacts before I do, 'So what do you want us two to do ? Fight to death? Is that why we're in an armoury? Because honestly we can't do that to each other.' He looks my way, 'Right?'
I don't know what to say, I don't believe a single word of what Angela just said.
It was impossible that my sister would set me up for this.
' You're lying aren't you?, I know you are, my sister would never ask me to do this.' I retort
'I know you both wish I was, the fact that both of you know each other makes this initiation harder than it was meant to be, but now we don't have a choice' she shrugs her shoulders.
'Also your sister ,you said, who's your sister?'
I could tell you her code name in my sleep, she'd made me learn it just in case people came looking for her someday. Rookie agents had proper names, names like Neil and Vanessa ,but agents like her had names that seemed to come straight from movies.
'Agent Red'
