Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Kieran’s POV
I was about to ask them what they were when suddenly the alarm started blaring.
“Shit” Grahams yelled as he listened to his earpiece “The fucking Alien has escaped, and the spaceship has gone too”
“How?” I yelled
“I don’t know, but I need to call a worldwide meeting. War is coming. Stay here and talk to these girls, I will be back once the meeting is sorted”
“I need to get to school” The one in the uniform told us “Jess will panic if none of us show at school, don’t worry I will act surprised that you did not drop her off” She chuckled
Grahams got another agent to show her out while I remained seated with the other two.
“Start talking” I ordered as I leaned back in my chair.
“So, we are Jess’s best friends and have been for years, that was until her gifts fully developed and she realised what we were” The goth one smiled.
“Are what is that?” I asked.
“I am a vampire” she smirked “Born, not made. Don’t worry I don’t kill humans and that is how you never knew about my family”
“And you” I asked the red head.
“My name is Christina” she smiled “And I am a witch”
“What about the one who left to go to school with Jess?”
“She is also a witch” Christina told me.
“So, this gift that Jess apparently has causes her to be able to read people?”
“Not just read” The vampire sighed “She can focus on something and find out anything she wants, but she has somehow managed to block the gift. Well unless she uses it for things like breaking locks and getting in here”
“Why are you telling us about this gift? How do you know that we are not going to exploit her for it?”
“Because she would know if you where” Christina chuckled “Hayley would also kill you if you ever hurt Jess. We love her and would never let anyone hurt her, even when she left us for the street kids, we still kept an eye on her”
“Hayley, I assume” I asked the goth chick.
“That’s me” she laughed
“Wont Jess be curious to why neither of you are at school?”
“Most likely” Hayley chuckled “but that’s why we sent Amber back, she is the bubbly one who will manage to keep Jess relaxed and not worry too much”
Grahams came back in the room looking tired “Ok we have a meeting planned for when Jess finishes school. When you pick her up bring her straight here. Now tell me about her gift as I need to know everything”
Hayley nodded as she started to fill him in while I watched them all interact. If what they said was true that Jess just because the most gifted member of staff. I glanced at Grahams, and I knew that the countdown had officially started until he sent me away. He would not care about hurting her, all he would care about now was training her up so she could be the best soldier possible.
“Storm go do your rounds until its time to pick up Jess” Grahams ordered
“Yes sir” I sighed as I got up and walked out leaving him alone with the girls.
I did my round lost in thought and even Bridget must have known I was not in the mood as she did not bother trying to flirt with me. Finally, it was time to go get Jess and I climbed in my work car and headed out. Once I arrived, I climbed out of the car and leaned against it as I waited for her to come out. People gave me funny looks as they walked past, and I could not blame them. I was outside a high school dressed in a black suit driving a late model black Mercedes. Finally, Jess walked out with the other girl who had been at the warehouse this morning Amber. Amber was the first one to spot me and said something to Jess causing her to look over at me. She looked puzzled by my outfit, and I could not blame her, but her first question was about the car. I should have known it would be. I opened the door for her and started to fill her in on the meeting and the Alien escaping. I chose the skip the part about her friends as I did not feel like it was my place to bring it up. We arrived at the warehouse, and I took her straight to the meeting room where all the other agents were waiting for us. I noticed Jess tense up beside me as she looked around at all the other agents before looking down at herself. I took her to our seats at the front and sat down, just as I noticed Grahams start to make his way over to us.
“Damn it Kieran you could have taken me home to get changed first” she snapped
“Why you look really good” I chuckled looking away from Grahams and looking her up and down.
“Yeah, but I stand out a bit don’t you think? I am in a school uniform”
I sighed as I noticed Grahams come up right behind her “Yeah, about that you are about to stand out even more. Please don’t kill me I love you”
I saw that she was about to respond, but Grahams was already on her lifting her up and carrying her towards the stage. I saw Jess looking for me once she got on the stage and I knew she could read the worried look on my face. Grahams was about to blindside her in front of all our agents and the thought made me feel sick. I wish I could do something about it, but I knew if I did it would be career suicide.
Grahams turned to face the group of agents to get the meeting started and introduce Jess as one of our most gifted agents.
