"Hey mom I'm home"I said
"Hi sweetie, how was school!" she yelled from the kitchen.
"Terrible" I said moaning
"Why?" she replied
"Mrs. Aplebottom gave me Zero credit on my homework just because it was in pen." "What does she have against pen its ridiculous" I said "I mean she embarrasses me in front of the entire class when I don't have my homework and she always finds something that's wrong when I do it."
"Tough" she replied
"Il say,school sucks" I said
"Speaking of school have you aplied to any colleges yet"she said " Well I got accepted into Dublin city university"
"Thats good" she said
"But I might be able to get another job at benys part time, I know money is tight, and I thought that might help.
"Thats very sweet of you but you dont have to throw you college dream away just for a job. "
"But mom." I said
"Trust me we will be okay."she said
" Oh and before I forget you got mail this morning" said my mom
"From who?" I said
"I cant really tell, it says secure mail line?" she replied
"What"
"Well it also says this letter is intended to be read by Joseph Mclophlin,and Joseph Mcloplin only,if a foreign source reads this letter he or she will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
"Jease" I said " Well let me see it" I took the letter and started to skim through it for a few minuts
"So what does it say?"My mom asked
"Well do you want to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law" I replied
"Really what is it a letter from school, the government whats up?"she asked
"No the ISS" Isaid
"Whats that?"my mom asked
"The Ireland Secret Service"
"Never heard of them"she said
"Hence the Secret in Secret service"
"Ha " she chuckled
"Yeah I guess They want me to stalk some guy from GE...,I...
Suddenly there was a loud crash
"What was that!" my mom yelled
"I don't know"
A greenish gray looking Gas slowly started to erupt from the small cylinder that destroyed window. Shaders of glass littered the kitchen floor as the gas began to fill up the rest of the room and eat at the leftover clean air. It all happened so fast neither me or my mom had time to escape from the poisoned room.I used my shirt as a filter which worked for a few seconds until my arms and legs began feeling funny, I was numb all over now and had no way of moving my body. I tried to scream for help but nothing came out I started to panic as I gasped for air and it felt as if I was dying inside, I was barely breathing now and soon enough I passed out.

When I woke up I was still a little hazy but i could clearly distinguish a thin brunet nurse wearing an apron and a cliche nursing hat. Next to her stood a rather chunky man in what looked as to be a very expensive suit. It took me a wile to figure out what was exactly going on but the nurse interrupted my train of thought.
"Hi sleepy head"she said
"Where am I" I said lazily
"Don't worry about it,well explain the details later" the man interrupted
I was started to wake up more and I felt a tugging on my wrists when I tried to sit up.
"Details! your holding me prisoner and you call that details!
"My name is James Collins,but please call me James. I am the CEO of the ISS ,perhaps you've heard of us"
"You, wait were is my mom!"
"Probably being questioned,don't worry we wont hurt her." he said
"What do you want from me!"I demanded
"Alright il cut to the chase, we understand you have some... financial problems."
"Were fine thank you" I said
"Alright but I'm just saying we can help you if you can help us, it will only take a couple of days
"Why me" I asked
"We need someone of your age, someone who can get around unnoticed, some one physically fit. Your perfect for the job." he said
"What am I going to be doing." I asked
"Well explain it all later, and don't to worry about work or school we've got that covered." He said
"Real quick." I asked
"Yes." He replied
" In and out, that's it." I said
"Thats all it is to it." He said
"Okay pack up your bags and well leave first thing tomorrow." He said

The plane ride there was very luxurious, a private jet I liked the sound of that.
"This is your captain speaking we will begin our decent into Baghdad in a moment please fasten your safety belt and put away your belongings."
When we landed a taxi drove me to a hotel that I was going to be staying at. WOW I mean this was a very nice hotel! Five star top of the line.I was starting to warm up to the idea of being a spy, plus Mr. Collins payed me in advance, maybe I could actually do this. Mr. Collins explained to me on the plane that I would be staying here for the night and be on my way to GE in the morning. I guess GE is this energy company , but the ISS believes that they were using there energy to make nuclear bombs to be distributed to multiple enemies of Europe and the Americas.
Mr. Collins and his friends at the ISS had some spy gadgets for my mission. He gave me a pen with a very powerful laser in the cap capable of cutting through 1/2" steel quickly. He also gave me a thumb drive to log into the data base to retrieve the data they needed. He gave me a watch with a tranquilizer dart gun built in that has a range of up to 75 yards. He also gave me a phone that has a map of the entire building downloaded on it. It can also hack into the security codes for secured doors, and finally he gave me an ear but to communicate with him. GE headquarters was around a 30 minute bus ride from my hotel. When I got there I quickly separated from my pretend class that Mr. Collins set up so that I could blend in with the other students. I entered the elevator to go downstairs. I plugged in my phone into the USB port until the screen lit up and said in green letters "Successfully breached" and the elevator began to descend. I pressed the button on my earpiece and I heard James voice "Fred, Fredy do you read me". "Loud and clear" I replied. "The hallway clear?" Collins had breached into the security camera using the telephone. "I'm afraid not, there's two guards eastward right when you get out so act fast alright? He said I was startled by the "ding" of the elevator, "here we go"I said. The doors slid open and I ran out to the right dodging a guard while he was still confused. I slammed my foot into his stomach as hard as I possibly could and ran towards the other guard. Suddently something hit me like a train fron behind and slammed me into the ground, the weight of what felt like a truck. I slowly turned around and headed for my watch but it was pinned down by the man. With all the energy left in me I raised my arm and pressed the G button on the watch and aimed at him. A direct hit one down and one to go I ran towards the man and tackled him to the ground. This one was smaller and easier to get. I guess I lost connection with James because after the first guard hit me it went staticky. Dazed I continued down the hall and crept around a corner. I could see a sign that said data base so I followed it. I saw a guard in front of the door so I hit him with my watch and took him out. I ran to the door.
When I got there it was locked obviously but not only electronically but physically also so I used my special pen and carved a circle around the key hole and opened the door. The laser was red hot and you could feel the heat radiating from it.
I quickly found the computer and used the thumb nail they gave me and sat back and relaxed as it di its thing.
After a couple of minutes I noticed a list popping up labeled operation blackhawk with a list of names under their descriptions below them. As I skimmed through the list and one name caught my eye Muhar Sana sounded funny but what really shocked me was the name just below it Daniel Keohane. Confused I checked again "what it can't be the same Daniel Keohane I know, my best friend?". "It can" said a voice behind me. I whipped around to realize that the guy was holding a gun up to me and that guy was Daniel Keohane. "what are you doing here". "This is my dad's corporation." "A better question is what are you doing here". "Your dad's corporation is making bombs". "So you caught on, it took you 17 years to realize that I'm the bad guy" he said. "And I regret every damn second of it" I replied "well don't" "You're gonna die soon." "Now that you know our big secret, theres no reason why I shouldint kill you right now." he laughed. He aimed his gun seconds later... I shot the chair I was sitting in back at him hitting him straight in the gut ,he fired a shot desperately as he dropped his gun. I ran over and picked it up,I had him cornered ...finger on the trigger, it would of been so easy to kill him now, I could feel sweet run down my face I knew what I had to do so I shot him. And that was it.
