Day 8

SATO TOOK ME DOWN THE HALL

And he got me all cleaned up. He took one good look at me like he recognized me from somewhere but couldn’t quite place it. “You have a lot to learn here kid. But you’ll do fine,” he told me. “I don’t wanna know about what you’ve been though unless you tell me or us, or we find out. We already know a great deal about you and who you are and what you stand for. We know you want out. So if you don’t mind we’d like to help. Is that okay with you?” he actually asked me first hand. “It’s okay if you say no, but just to let you know, we have you in our system. We know where you’ll be at all times whenever we need it and we have your background checks in our system,” he added. “Yeah, no its fine thanks. I’ll give it a shot,” I said. “What’s her problem though?” “She has trust issues. Could you blame her? You follow her around and attack her once, she attacks you, and you’re there wherever she looks- she gets a little suspicious. And no offense but she was right. You were out to kill her. But I don’t know what you’re thinking. And the Chief thinks something of you so we’ll see. But I warn you now, she doesn’t like you that much, even though she’s done some things to you she normally wouldn’t do. But if you push her she will kill you. Without a doubt. She doesn’t care who you are, what you stand for, what you’ve done in the past, what your going to do in the future. Just a warning,” he explained. “A lot has been done to her that you would be baffled about. You would think there is no way in hell that happened because she wouldn’t be able to live though it. She would die from the pain, from the guilt, from all sorts of things. But she pulls through, I don’t know how but she pulls through. Its like life is so against her. And she just takes the whole world on top of her head and just holds it there, like it’s her sanctuary. She has no fear. None. And that’s what scares us. Because she’s been trouble in the past. She has her ups and downs but we as a team, help her through it. And she’s getting through it, and there’s more to come. A lot more to come. And were afraid of what might happen. That’s why we asked her back so we can keep an eye on her. Maybe it’s a bad idea for her, but we’re going to try everything we can for her. We need her just as much as she needs us. She is a cold-blooded killing machine and there is nothing we can do about it. She has heart; we just need to find it. And Riggs on the other hand is not much help. But you’ll figure everything out sooner or later.” I nodded my head in agreement. “Thanks Sato. I’ll figure it out I guess. But I think you can understand were I’m coming from.” He nodded and said, “Come with me. We’re gunna go to the conference room and talk about everything.” I followed him down the hall into the conference room. There was a bunch of people sitting and standing around the room. I saw the Chief and I saw her. “How are you feeling Allison?” the Chief asked me. “Good,” I nodded my head. “Excellent. We will start off with introducing you to the team. As you know, this is Sergeant Sato Kiaski, team coordinator. This is Chief Captain Leeha Vanks, team captain. These are the team twins and troublemakers Operative Takashi Daiskai and Operative Takuya Daiskai. Lieutenant Rachel Riggs, in charge of communications and computers. Operative Ringo Lear, in charge of ballistics and weaponry. And last but not least Major Captain Kayvroni Washamarou. I believe you two are familiar with each other. And I am Chief Saske Rimoura. We are Lead team of Recon Association of International Security, Section 9, District 7. We do what police cannot, what S.W.A.T cannot, what the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air force cannot. We are top of line security all over the world. We have numerous Sections and teams around the world, in separated different districts. And if you let us, we can help you.” I stood in my spot and didn’t move. I was kind of thrown off by the introductions because it was just flattering that they were trying to help I guess you can say. I looked over at her and saw her looking down. “Yeah, thanks.” That’s all I said. Then Takashi came up to me and said, “Oh boy, you’re going to have fun. That’s a promise.” And I smiled- the first smile in a while. And she was looking straight at me to see it. I quickly wiped it away and looked around. Everyone was nodding yes with big smiles on their faces. “One more thing. Kayvroni? Allison Warsfield will be assigned to you as your new partner. You will watch over her and make sure she gets all snuggled in,” he told her. In shock, I looked over at her and saw her jaw drop. Before she could say anything I tried to back her up. “Chief, you don’t need to do that really. I’ll be just fine on my own. Really.”  She looked at me in a confused pissed off look. “No its okay. I know it’ll be hard for the both of you to adjust considering the past motives. But we are a team now. None of that. We help each other.” “LIKE I HAVE A SAY CHIEF. REALLY?!” she snapped. He walked over to her and she flew up. She was about to open her mouth when he smacked her in the head and she fell back in her seat. “Really. Dismissed.” He told everybody. Everybody got up and left the room and went about their business. Except for Leeha and Rachel. Rachel went over to the Chief and talked to him. I heard her say “Did you really need to do that? Did you really need to displace me and put her as her partner? That little girl cannot handle her. I promise you. And why would you team her up with someone we jut met, who tried to kill her? Really? Why?” she seemed pretty disgusted. “Not for nothing Rachel, you’re not doing her any help either,” and he walked out of the room and gave me a wink and a pat on the back. She looked over at me really pissed off and followed him. On her way out she thought it was necessary to bump into me on purpose. I still stood in the same spot near the doorway and looked up to see Leeha staring at me. She was sitting on the desk and hopped off and walked toward me. “Don’t worry about her. She’s a cranky bitch. She thinks she knows everything, and yeah she knows her shit but she’s a snob. Just incase your confused, she used to have a thing with Kay. Saying that lightly mind you. She’s not healthy for her. So I’m kinda glad you’re her partner now, despite your motives. Just watch her though. You pretty much just been assigned to be her guardian basically. Me and Sato have been with her the longest, so we’ll help you out. Come with me. I’ll show you around.”
