Injections

Chapter Six

"Five days?"

"That's what I just said... are you guys okay with that," he said, knowing we have no choice anyways.

"Of course, sir."

"You're free to go pack, try and hurry, we want to send you out as soon as possible."

With that we made our way to our rooms. I pulled out a small suitcase from my closet that they gave us in case of long trips. I removed the dust it had collected because I never really had to use it. I folded and placed in the clothing and other necessities I thought I might need. I zipped it shut and sighed before walking out to meet the others.

"Should we see Anya and Xavier before leaving?" I asked hoping they would think it's a good idea. Royce nodded.

"Yeah, but we gotta be quick, okay."

We made our way to the training area, knowing that we would find them there at this time. The scientists wanted us to be in the best shape, they wanted to test on people of good health, so we had a small gym room placed for us.

Once we opened the doors, Xavier made his way to us with Anya following right behind him.

"Hey, what did he want?" Xavier glanced down at our suitcases in confusion.

"They're sending us on a five day mission."

"Five days, for what?"

"They didn't tell us, just told us to pack."

"Are you okay Jett?" Anya said after I stopped talking.

We looked at Jett, who was weirdly silent, he forced a smile, "uh.. yeah don't worry"

"Jett..." she said knowingly and he sighed.

"I just have a bad feeling," he turned to look at us. "How are they just gonna tell us to pack for five days with no other information, they usually tell us what we're going to be doing... and that Rosario guy, I don't have a good feeling about him"

"Rosario?" Anya and Xavier weirdly said at the same time.

"I don't know who he is he just showed up"

"Yeah I don't like that guy either, but we should get going" Royce added.

"Yeah we should, we just wanted to say bye to you guys," I said.

We said our goodbyes, knowing it'll be awhile before we see them again.

We walked into the Meeting hall for the second time today and Mr. Rosario was quick to talk once the door what shut.

"Okay we need you boys to go on a recon mission, a recon mission means-"

"You want us to go on a mission to get information," Jett cut off Mr. Rosario who was talking to us in a tone of voice like we were children who knew absolutely nothing.

"We play video games Mr. Rosario," I smiled.

"...they give you access to video games here?"

"That's beside the point, are you going to tell us what you want us to do sir?" Royce stepped in, trying to get back on track.

"Right, uh yes... Listen," Rosario said coming closer to us, "we just need more information about a lab that may have connections to the facility up north of here, we need you boys to just peak around, see the outside of the facility, their security, and place some kind of listening device there"

"So like a bug? How are we gonna get in?"

"No no, don't worry we're not sending you in, that would be too difficult but we need you to find some sort of entry way, like their transportation area or any entrance door, and place the bug near there."

"What good is a bug there? what are you gonna hear outside a facility?" Jett scrunched his eyebrows, genuinely confused. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

"It's not just a regular old bug," he said smugly, "we enhanced it a bit, so not only is it a tiny listening device, but it moves! It has these little cameras for it's eyes and like little legs, like a little bug, becau-"

"Yeah yeah we get it."

He cleared his throat after Jett cut his excited rambling short. He want back to his earlier explanation, "so we just need you to place it and we'll control it from here. I believe you're familiar with Mr. Hudson and Mrs. Vulcan, they got everything set up, just meet them in the transportation area."

He sent us off and when we got there, Mr. Hudson gave us our travel details then Mrs. Vulcan gave us a backpack with a quick explanation on how to use all the tech in it. While she was explaining, Mr. Hudson helped Jett pack everything in the car.

 We gave one last look to each other before we started on our trip. It seemed like the farther we drove away, the bigger the bad feeling I had in the pit of my stomach grew.

Thinking of starting a second story and writing both at the same time. Let's see if I can multitask.
