Swirling Colors: A Spy Novel Chapter 2 (By Danielle)

Chapter two

Nicki's POV

I had the connection, and now, all I had to do was escape to the dorm without anyone noticing. That wouldn’t be as easy as it seemed though. This place was filled with cameras and sensors. There was a Military security guard at each stairwell and elevator. I could easily escape the sensors and cameras, but the security guards would be a challenge. I’d learned my ways here. I have experience. You just dress in black. The sensors and cameras can’t spot you then. And I was silent. My footsteps barely made a sound. That’s why I was picked for so many missions, and, unfortunately, why I was picked to get the wi-fi. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, I’m a traitor? I’m stealing the wi-fi, to get information to sabotage the school? Well, you’re wrong. I’m actually borrowing this so my friends and I can access the internet and go on Wicky-chat. Yeah, I know, it’s stupid, but we weren’t allowed any internet access or a connection to people outside the facility. They believe everyone to be traitors. They keep the school so secret. They act like it’s a school for undisciplined children.

I slipped out the cracked door, careful, even though I knew it wouldn’t creek even if it moved. Everything is hi-tech here, because the place has millions of dollars. Yeah, that’s the benefit of being part of the government agency.

It was pitched black, but I could still make out figures with my excellent eye site. Everyone here is special. I was picked to be in the school for my excellent eye sight, and how quiet I could be. I was also great in school, and had skipped two grades.

I suddenly heard a creak. My hand floated to my taser. It couldn’t have come from me, I was too quiet. I immediately stopped. I had been caught! The security guards had heard me! But that wasn’t the case. A boy jumped out, with a taser in his hand. “Drop the connection now!” He yelled. I turned around, in complete shock, and accidentally dropped the wi-fi.

I pulled out my taser and hissed, “Don’t you dare try and take this from me!” This boy must’ve been one of the kantras. They were sneaky, and I doubted he even had a problem sneaking in here. I pressed the button of my taser, sending the boy sprawling on the floor. He yelled in pain. These things hurt. Bad. I placed my left knee on him, holding him down. Then, I pulled off his black mask. I gasped as it turned out to be Enzo. He was in all my classes, and I’d thought he was a devoted member of the NJYSA: New Jersey, young spies’ academy.

“Why are you here?” I hissed.

“I’m not telling you,” He hissed back, but with a wince. The tasers took a while to wear off. Trust me; I’d taken one to the head once.

“I’m gonna tell the school, and you’re gonna be sent to jail for the rest of you life!” I said with hate. I hated the Kantras more then anything. They’d killed my sister, and I’d never forgive them for that.

“You wouldn’t” He gave a small laugh of amusement. My face turned to a question. He must’ve noticed and said, “If you tell them about me, then, they’ll know you stole the wi-fi.”

I pushed my knee down harder and yelled, “I wasn’t stealing it!” But I knew I was, and the academy wouldn’t have mercy.

“And then,” He scoffed, “You’ll be kicked out of the academy and sent to jail.” And then, I knew I couldn’t tell anyone about this confrontation. Suddenly, the alarm went off. It was an ear piercing sound.

“Go!” I hissed. “Now,” Then, I grabbed the wi-fi, put it back, opened the trap door in the floor, and slipped out before anybody would see me.
