Mission brief

"You can come in..." I replied cautiously, and patted my loaded pistol which was in my pants side pocket.

  The door opened and Emma walked in wearing a white pajamas. She walked up to my bed and sat beside me, while staring at me worriedly. 

"What's wrong?" She asked softly, "What happened to that funny Kyle?" She added.

"There was never a clown Kyle. It has been just me, and me alone" I replied without sparing her a glance.

"I never said anything about a clown... Sigh... Are you feeling lonely? Or left out?... Are you missing your crush? I actually know where you can find her in-game" Emma said with a smile.

"She's not my crush, and have never been. I don't think I'd want anything to do with her" I said with a shrug.

"So why was her sketch portrait found all over your room? That's pretty obsessive" Emma asked.

"I have no idea either, I'm not attracted to her in any way" I said sincerely.

"So you're saying she isn't attractive?" Emma asked with a raised brow.

"She is, but I don't even know her, why would I fall for someone I know nothing about?" I asked rhetorically.

"So you're also saying you have no interest in the game too?" Emma asked again.

"I never said that, I still want another pod" I quickly said.

"You can take mine when you're back, I'm not really much of a gamer" Emma said with a smile.

"Back from where?" I asked in confusion.

"You have a mission, that's why I asked for the phone I gave you" Emma replied with a smile.

"Really? What's the mission about?" I asked with a wide smile.

"Trust me, you'd love this one" Emma said with a smirk.

"Sabastian Lewis. He's a powerful mercenary who runs a cartel in many countries, and mostly deals in firearms and explosives. He is suspected to have the TXR7R in his possession, and..." A man who was dressed in a neat black tuxedo, and was sitting in the passengers seat of a black Chevrolet sports car, was explaining to a boy who was also putting on a black tuxedo, and was sitting on the driver's seat of the car.

"You're too fast at talking, I can't even understand a thing you're saying... What do you mean by VR95?" I interrupted in confusion.

  After Emma elaborated me on what the mission would be about last night, a man from the CIA came over this morning to give me the full details of the mission, because I was leaving the country for this particular mission.

"Who even put you up for this job? It's TXR7R not a VR bullshit. And it's a missile capable of destroying a state. If you fail this mission, then you're getting your ass kicked back to jail. Now listen young man, all you have to do is befriend Isabelle Lewis, the only daughter of Sabastian Lewis, then get to attend her upcoming birthday party which will be hosted in the targets house. You are infiltrate the targets study room, and implant this flash drive into the targets PC, then retrieve it after a download is complete. Simple right?" The man explained while handing a flash drive disguised as a pen to me.

"Is she pretty?" I asked with a smirk.

"This briefcase contains every document you'll be needing for the mission, and a gun for your safety" The man ignored my question and passed me a medium sized black briefcase.

"How do I befriend this Isabelle? Don't you guys know I'm an introvert?" I asked with raised brow.

"Good day Mr. Kyle Donaldson. I hope we don't meet again" The man said with a grim expression, and left the car, slamming the door behind him.

"What's with the attitude?! You think you'd be better than me in this mission, huh?!" I echoed at him after he left the car. 

  And when I saw him turn around angrily and was about to open the door he had just slammed behind him, I quickly ignited my car's engine and drove off, leaving him to eat the dust.

-

  I kept tilting my head to the sides, taking in the view of the airport's interior design in awe. Because both I and the original Kyle have never been to an airport before, so it was a 'first' for 'us'. 

  I went along with all the procedure's and protocols, and also got detained for illegal possession of a firearm. But after confirming my identity, they apologized and let me go. 

  But my plane had already taken off by then, so they prepared another plane going in the same direction as I was, and I boarded it without causing much ruckus... except for threatening the airport manager with a gun to the face.

  I was even more awed when I got into the first class section of the plane, it was truly a paradise. My seat was next to a window, so I sat quietly and glued my eyes to the window with a wide smile plastered on my face.

  I noticed someone sit on the seat next to mine, and perceived a very enticing scent from the person. But the view of the plane taking off was more important than glancing at whoever was seated next to me. 

  After a while of watching the clouds and grinning in amazement, I felt my neck starting to ache, so I decided to rest my head, and reminisce on my mission details.

"H-how did you do it?" I heard a feminine voice ask from beside me.

  I turned my head casually to look at the person who had asked the weird question, and to whom the question was asked. But when I saw the person who asked the question, staring at me in shock, my heart leaped.

"Are you talking to me?" I asked with a poker face, trying as much as possible to not let my emotions seep out.

"Don't try to play that game with me, I saw your pupils constrict when you looked at me" The gray haired, gray eyed girl said with a frown.
