ARION’S POV
I called her sounding scared because I knew that, despite her tough exterior, she was just a big softie and would rush to my rescue immediately, but in reality, it was just a training session. As I watched her take down the agents I had asked to help me organise the session, I could see the determined look on her face as she took down the guys one by one. I could see why she was one of the top agents of DOS, the department of Super normal which deals with human threats. These are also threats that the police can't handle, so they bring us in to deal with them. The two of us have been partners since our teenage years. And have been inseparable since our mission in Manila where we had to stop five diamond thieves. At the time, I was a recruit but I was just lucky to be teamed up with one of the best agents I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She punched me and it hurt li,e crazy. I grabbed her hand and run out of the warehouse, triggering the illusion of the place blowing up just to make the session more realistic. She dropped me off at my house and headed to her place. I got to my house and fired up my computer and typed. Yes, I know it is strange, but my deadline is in three days so I have to finish the last two chapters. Yes, I'm a novelist and the story I'm working on is my fifth one and could be the one where I get my big break as a writer. Two hours later, I shut down and went to bed. It has been such an exhausting day and tomorrow will be even more exhausting.
Today I woke up and did my morning routine and called Kate, letting her know that she should meet me at the waterfront where I had Daniel set up the other training session. If this guy is as dangerous as the report made him out to be then we will need all the training we can get before we start the mission. I got there an hour early to make sure everything was on track. After double-checking the training course, I got into my car and sat there waiting for her. Soon she pulled up next to me and got out of her car. She had her light brown hair in a tight bun and she wore a plain black shirt and a grey pair of leggings paired with a white pair of vans. Light dark circles showed beneath her eyes but overall she looked good. She greeted me and asked if we were going to get this pyjama party started or not, to which I nodded and we went to the start of the course. The first portion was timed a pretty basic set designed to test our endurance and stamina. The rest of the course was the usual training course designed to test our speed and ability to be resourceful and able to work as a team.
The two of us went through the course like it was nothing special. We slid under logs, scaled rocks and walls and climbed the nets that were placed right above the mud pits. Some were placed over burning pits and we only had a few minutes to climb them. Soon we were done and we were ready for the next level of training which was planned by Director Carter at the DOS training centre.
We were dodging burning hot layers and punching dummy after dummy after dummy till we reached the end of the room where other agents were waiting to take us on in hand-to-hand combat. So for the next four hours, we punched and kicked and dodged till we finished the training that had been prepared and by the end it was evening and I was really tired. So I sat on the treadmill drinking water when Kate came over and sat next to me. "Hey dummy, how are you doing? " she said to me while nudging my shoulder. Making me stumble backwards. But she caught me and handed me a turkey sandwich. I ate happily. We headed back home and rested. I had been looking forward to getting some shut-eye. But I suddenly woke up to the sound of tires screeching to a halt right outside my house. I sat bolt upright in my bed, expelling all the sleep I had just a few minutes before. Jumping out of bed and grabbing my stun gun from my drawer and heading out of my room and rushing down the stairs and hiding behind the door and waiting for the intruder to try and enter my house. I heard heavy footsteps approaching the front door. I could feel my heart pumping like it wanted to beat out of my chest. The anticipation. Soon the intruder turned the door handle. Slowly, the door was pushed open and someone entered. They appeared to be wearing combat boots and grey pants. He stood with an air of importance. When he spoke, it sounded familiar. “Hey little bro, are you sleeping? It is just in your nature to be sleeping, you're such a softie. I wonder how you got into the DOS.” at that exact moment, I jumped out from behind the door and pulled the trigger, causing him to fall to the floor unconscious. He fell to the floor with a thud. I then dragged him in and closed the door before heading back to bed and leaving him on the cold hard floor. Well, that's what he gets for disturbing my sleep and showing up unannounced. That is Brandon, my older brother. We were junior spies at the same time. However, I got placed on a special unit team at the end of our training to become top agents and he was placed in a normal team with Ivan, who was my best friend at the time. Sometimes I get the feeling that he is jealous of me, but I think it is because he really wanted to be a top agent and never got in. I finally fell asleep with those thoughts.
