Spy Mage System-Chapter 175

175 Getting Ready

“Well, they kind of look scary, to be honest,” Tisiah said, looking at them as we walked into the room, “but I guess they’re just here to help.”

“I think we should be more worried about what they might do if we fail,” I said, “but they don’t seem like bad people.”

“Well, of course not,” I said, looking at Tisiah, “we’re fighting together, aren’t we?” He gave a small laugh as she nodded and smiled at me. “We’re fighting for the same purpose, to protect people, so we can’t be bad people.” I nodded and smiled back at her.

“Are you sure?” I asked, looking at him in shock as he looked at me with a frown.

“I’m sure,” Tisiah replied as I looked back at him, “they’re here for us, for our sake, and they’re here to help us, not hurt us.” “Well with them looking like that, I might as well run away,” I joked, and Tisiah smiled as he patted me on the back and gave me a wink.

“I guess so,” he said with a sigh. “I don’t know what’s going on with you lately, but I’m glad you’re back.”

“What makes you think I wasn’t in the first place?” I returned to him as he chuckled.

“Well, you’re too normal for that,” he said, but I knew what he meant. I was acting crazy, but I wasn’t in my right mind. I wasn’t there in my right mind any longer. But I knew that I needed to be strong and get my mind together before I went back home to deal with all the problems in my life.

I glanced at September and saw her staring at me as I smiled back at her. She smiled back at me and then turned around and walked into another room with the others as I took a deep breath and started to look around at everything in the room. The room was filled with a bunch of cameras, computers-you name it and it was in this room, but it was all working as well. There were tons of monitors in the room with information scrolling along them, and I figured that they were probably monitoring us right now and seeing who was on our team.

.....

I looked at the monitor closest to me and saw a map of the area around us as well as the convoy that was on a different window. I turned to the camera that was in the room with us and saw B talking to someone.

“So you see here,” B was saying as he pointed at the screen, “this is our base where they’ll take off from.” He turned to look at whoever he was talking to and pointed at something else on the map. There were cars and buildings that encircled the area, as if it was a whole canyon of the same company and they were taking off from it. “There are only ten cars that will be on this convoy,” B said with a smirk on his face, “and those ten cars will take off from their base.”

“Would we follow them?” Malachi asked, and B nodded as he walked over to one of the other monitors that was on Masaru’s house.

“Yes, because if we lose them, then we’ll never get a chance to get to them,” B said as he nodded at something else on the screen. “That is why we need to get them before they can take off from the airport.” 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

“Yeah,” Malachi said, looking at everything around him in the room, “so where is it?” B looked at another map and then pointed to it on the screen. It was a building in a city, which was nearby. “That is where they’ll park their car for a while and take off from there. This is a building that is close by the airport, so men would pour out from that building and so forth.” I nodded, almost overwhelmed by the amount of information they had and how organized they were about this mission.

“But why would they want to go to this place?” September asked, with confusion written all over her face.

“They will probably go there for security reasons,” B explained, “because if we attack them, then we could possibly lose them and have them escape from our hands. So we have to make sure that we get them there and keep them there until we are able to attack them.” I nodded again.

“That makes sense,” Malachi said with a nod, “but how do we do that?”

“Well,” B said, “we’ll need to get there before they can leave that building. So we have to make sure that they don’t get away.” I nodded as B walked back towards us.

“So what do you guys think?” he asked, and Malachi looked up at him.

“What do I think?” he asked. “I think that this is going to be a hard mission.”

“Well, let’s see if you’re right,” B said as he pointed at another screen. “We got men that are surveying this area as we speak, and we got eyes on Maddie Cone so that we can arrest her once her plan fails.” I turned around and saw that B was looking at the monitor that had Maddie’s image on it.

“We’ll get her,” Malachi said, and B nodded as he continued to watch the screen. “Trust me, we will.”

“I hope so, because if not-we’re all dead,” Nikki said, as the team turned around, looking at her. “I know it’s harsh to say it like this, but we have no chance against this convoy.”

“How could we not?” I asked, but then realized something. “We don’t have any weapons?” I asked. B shook his head. “We do, but they have loads of ammunition, and we can only use our wands. But you don’t particularly use wands against a gunfight,” B said.

“But how are you going to stop them?” I asked as B smiled and looked at us.

“It’s not going to be easy,” he admitted, “but we’re going to do what we always do: we’re going to fight for what is right.”

“He’s right about that, so when are we gonna start following them?” I asked, looking around at everyone. Everyone was silent as they thought about it. “Well?” I asked again, and they all nodded and looked at me.

“We have ten minutes until they take off,” B said as he looked at the monitor with the map on it. “We need to set up, and we’re getting some intel on her speech as we speak,” B said. Unexpectedly, static began to blare itself through the speakers, until I could hear Maddie Cone’s voice faintly, “... fools who have tried to stop me in the past.” The voice faded away as the static returned once more.

“That was weird,” Nikki said, looking at the speakers in the ceiling. “I thought they’d been disconnected.” B turned to glance at her as everyone started to look at one another with concern on their faces.

“Is that what she just said?” I proposed, as everyone shrugged.

“She said a lot more than that,” Malachi said with a frown as it filled the room with static again. But then her voice began to clear up once again, her voice sounding harsh and determined, “Fools who have tried to stop me in the past, I have returned to take what is mine!”

“What are they doing?” I asked as everyone looked back at me with confusion on their faces.

“I don’t know,” Malachi said as he shook his head, “but it doesn’t sound good.”

“Alright then,” I said as I looked at the monitor with her on it.

“You see, the YMPA and its little goons have continued to intercept us on our way, hinder our victory, arrest our goal, prevent everything we’ve worked for. But this time, we have something up our sleeve,” she said, and then continued with a smile on her face. “So you fools of the YMPA,” she continued with a smirk on her face, “I have come for you.” The room suddenly became silent as everyone waited for whatever was going to happen next.

“Uh...” Malachi muttered, as fear and marvel were the only thing expressing in this room, and everyone was staring at Maddie Cone’s image on the monitor as she smiled at us. “She looks pretty confident.”

“Yeah,” I said as I turned my attention to B.

“What’s happening now?” Nikki asked. “It almost seemed like a declaration of war.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, looking now at the black screen, which had an image of Maddie Cone’s face on it with some writing below it that I didn’t understand, “she’s basically saying that she wants to kill us all.”

“And she just told us she would do that?” one of the agents said. “Pretty much,” September responded, looking at us as she sighed, “she’s not going to stop until we’re dead or she is.”

“That’s pretty scary,” I said as I looked at September. She smiled as I looked back at her and nodded her head. “That’s very, very scary,” she said. “But we got her, we’ll win.” I nodded, trying to feel confident, but I knew deep down that it was hard. We had a tough fight ahead of us.

“Let’s go then,” B said as he turned around and walked out of the room, “we need to get ready.”
