Quantico (Junior Agent Program)

Chapter 7

Alex's POV

I walked in the room with Caleb, Shelby, Nimah, and Owen. It felt weird to be back in this room. The last time I was in here was when Liam was a terrorist and was putting a bomb in the dorms. I shuddered at the thought of it. I was glad at the fact that I was not with Ryan. I am guessing that Owen knew that we would not get along. All the other kids were in the room. There were 30 kids in the room. The other 25 were with the other 4 instructors. I scanned the room to see Mia in the second row. She was talking to a brunette. Her name tag said Anja. Then Owen started talking.

Mia's POV:

"You all are the top 30 kids here," Owen says. Most of the kids start cheering.
"But that also means we have high expectations from all of you. We will be having a leader board among you 30," Shelby.
Nimah clicks a button on her remote.
"This is the current standing. But don't panic, these standings are based on your past life. Every day we update them based on how you did on each exercise," Nimah says.
"We start in 5 minutes. Till then think what you can do get better standings," Mom says.
"Well you won't need to do that. You are already first," Anja whispers.
"These scores are just established upon our prior lives. The real deal starts today," I whisper back to her.
"Well you must have done something extraordinary to be first. I am 10th," she says back.
"That's really good depending the fact that you are not the offspring of Special Agents. I think that my current score is just special treatment,"
I say.
She shrugs and Shelby starts talking once again.
"Today we will be testing your interrogating  and investigating skills."
"You will each be choosing a fellow trainee's file. It has everything on them except 1 fact. Find out what it is and you get to continue. You have till tomorrow morning's class. Any questions?" Mom says.
"What if we can't find anything?" says a ginger in the first row.
"Then it's pack your bags," Owen says.
I panic a little. But then I think that they wouldn't have chosen me if they thought I couldn't do it.
"Come on up and choose a file," says Nimah.
All of us rush down to pick a file. I see a blonde choose my file, and I decide to choose his back. The name on the file says Luke Booth.

Luke's POV:

I stare at the board. I am second. The person who is first is Mia Parrish. Parrish as in Alex Parrish's daughter or it's just a coincidence? Mom, Nimah, and Alex start talking again. They say to grab a file and I grab the file of the brunette Mom and Dad keep staring at. It said Mia Parrish. Number 1 on the board. I come back to my seat to receive further instructions. I see that Mia had chosen my file. I guess I looked shocked that she chose mine because she smirked at me.
"Everyone can go back to their rooms. At 10:00 is your PT. Then noon is lunch. Usually you would have class at 1 but we will be giving that time for your investigation. 4 is another small PT class and that is the end of the day. Timings can change so be sure to check your text messages. Starting tomorrow breakfast will be 6-7. Class is dismissed," says Owen.
I grab my stuff and bump into Mia on the way out.
"Hey!" I say, not knowing what else to say.
"Hi. Mia," she replies back.
"Yeah I know. I got your file. I am Luke."
"And I got yours. I'll see you later," she says and leaves the room. I go back to my room to get a start on my assignment. The only thing she gave away in the first meeting was her name. Figuring out her secret was going to be a challenge.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update. Hopefully starting this week I will update more often since I have off from school. I have decided to also create a FanFiction.Net account and I will post a new story there as well soon! It's NiyatiGugnani. Have a great day!
