special mission

The BOA has reason to believe that we have a new threat on our hands and it's up to the eight of you to deal with it now if you look at the files that I've handed out you will see the details of the mission. I was just about to open the folder in front of me when Cole called my name," Charlie, you, Noah and Miles should sit this one out." he said." what no, I'm going" Noah protested. he opened his mouth to continue protesting when he was cut off by Cole when he said, " you three have a special mission." We got onto the plane to San Francisco. The Beuro Of classified Affairshand is a private hangar with over 400 jets. We headed to one and took our seats. Miles and I sat near the cock pit while Noah sat seven seats behind us grumbling incoherently. Miles noticed that I kept glancing over at Noah and said, "Just ignore him, he's always like that with people he just met." with a nod, I turned my attention to a novel that I had brought along. after fastening my seatbelt, I got lost in the pages of the book. three hours later, the plane started to lose altitude. I clutched my seat tightly. Miles got up and made his way to the front of the plane and I followed him. when I reached him, I found him struggling with the door to the cockpit and decided to give him a hand. with our combined efforts, we were able to pry the door open. inside, we found the pilot slumped in his seat. I checked for his pulse and was relieved when I felt it. together, we moved the pilot to another seat and Miles took over the flying bringing the plane back to its original altitude while I tried to help the pilot. two minutes later, the pilot began waking up but he was still weak so Miles had to continue flying the plane. 25 minutes later, we arrived at a top-secret location. Upon exiting the terminal, we found an SUV. Miles and I took our seats at the back leaving the driver's seat free. Noah understood and started driving. we drove down a beautiful lane that led to a palace. 

Cole had briefed us on what to expect on the mission but I won't bore you with all the details. I will tell you this, however, for the next twenty-four hours we shall be part of Princess Ivy's security detail. a guard led us to our rooms and we gladly followed him. without wasting any time, I hopped on my bed and drifted off to sleep. I awoke to the sound of knocking on the door. I opened it to reveal a grumpy-looking Noah. He grunted that dinner was ready and so the both of us walked out of my room. he led me to a massive dining room that had a table with about eight chairs placed neatly around it. On one of the chairs, sat a cheerful-looking Miles who smiled at me before saying," Hey sleepy head" I frowned at him wondering why he was so chipper but I did not voice my thoughts Instead, I took a seat and silently ate the soup. When dinner was over, I went to the balcony to think but my soul nearly left its body when I saw none other than Noah sitting in one of the corners. before he could wipe his eyes dry, however, I had seen. he looked vulnerable and when he spoke, his voice broke "What are you doing here Red?" he asked as he tried to hide his face in vain. " looking for a quiet place to think though I needn't ask you what you are doing here."I said looking at him with concern. "Don't look at me like that Red." He said as he stood up and went inside. I remained on the balcony by myself for the next twenty-five minutes taking a trip down memory lane. It soon became chilli and so I retired back to my room climbing into my bed and falling asleep instantly.  don't go, Mom, I held out my hand after her but she did not turn back. she ran out the door then there was a gunshot. I screened so loud but there was no one there I was all alone. I knelt on the floor put my head in my arms and cried my heart out. I woke up and found myself in an awkward position. strong arms wrapped around me holding me tight "It's okay, you're alright." the voice said over and over. At first, I thought it was Miles but the more I heard the voice, the more it became clear that it was Noah. his chest was as hard as a rock but also weirdly comfortable. his words brought me back to reality. when I had stopped sobbing, he pulled away from me and lifted my face forcing me to look at him. The concern that shone in his eyes was a little shocking and I tried to cover my shock with a small smile. " what are you doing here Noah?" I questioned with a hint of embarrassment in my voice. " hey... hey there's nothing to be embarrassed about.... we all have our fear and there is no need to hide.... or be ashamed." he said and I was brought aback. I mean, I didn't know him that well but he always just had that touch me and you're dead look. it then occurred to me that I was wrong about him and that I had judged him rather harshly. I learnt that beneath his crusty exterior, he had a heart. " If you tell anyone about this, I will kill you." He said in a voice that made me believe that his threat was not to be taken lightly. He then got up and left my room. I soon gathered enough strength to leave my room. I walked down the hall and out to the balcony. the sun was just starting to rise. I shut my eyes for a brief moment enjoying the tranquility of the moment and welcoming the new day leaving the nightmares in the past.
