Spy Mage System-Chapter 62

62 A Friend to Miss

Suddenly, the radio beeped. I picked it up and heard Mr. Drails speaking on the radio. I gulped. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

“Hey, what’s going on?” he asked. “I checked the system and I don’t see Tisiah, or the Armonk for that matter.”

“You have a system?” I asked. “Anyways, we now know that Rocke has the Armonk, because Marcello was sent to give it to him. Then, we tried to fight him and get the weapon but then Tisiah and Rocke disappeared.”

“Disappeared?”

“Yes, disappeared.”

I heard silence from the radio, as September and Malachi walked towards, while Nikki was being supported by September’s shoulder.

“Okay, where’s Nichelle?” he asked. My mouth hung low when I realized. “I think she went with him too,” I said.

Mr. Drails sighed. “Okay, I’ll get you guys to the YMPA.” Soon enough, a portal summoned in front of us and we walked through.

Immediately we went inside of his office, although he wasn’t there.

.....

“Okay, we need to take Nikki to the nurse right away,” I said. September nodded, “On it.” Then she clicked out of our sight, and after a few minutes returned back into the office.

After another few minutes, Mr. Drails arrived using his portal and then sat down on his chair.

“Sorry, I just got back from the SCR room. The System Check Room in case you didn’t know that,” he said. “It’s not really of your concern, but that doesn’t mean you can’t know-anyways, what in the world happened there?”

“We followed these black cars that were in line behind each other,” September explained. “And we were led to where Malachi and Connor were, and we were right that something was up.”

“Same for us,” I said. “There were three cars and a red van that apparently had the Armonk inside of there, and we followed them to a street called Hospital, and they went into a secret alleyway after that.”

“So how did you guys get into contact with them?” Mr. Drails asked.

“Well Malachi decided to jump in when we should’ve waited longer!” September hissed. Malachi grumbled, as anger boiled in his voice.

“I knew we had to jump in, a few minutes earlier and we would’ve got them!” he said. Mr. Drails sighed. “You should’ve told me what happened, so that I could get you guys here. Either way, you guys would’ve been exposed.”

I sighed. We ruined it again, just like the ameture spy mages we are.

“Although, this is a blessing in disguise for us, as we found out who has the Armonk,” Mr. Drails said proudly as everyone looked at him with a curious gaze on their faces. “Now all we need to do is find Rocke, there he should have the Armonk with him,” he said as he looked down at his desk.

He then looked up at us and smiled. “You guys technically did your job. You’ve found out who has the Armonk,” he said. “Now I need to inform the council about what’s happening, and then we can prepare for whatever might happen.”

“The council?” I asked.

“Well in a situation like this, it’s probably best to talk to the rest of the EMO organization for this, so that we could solve this once and for all,” Mr. Drails explained as he looked down at his desk once again.

He opened his drawer and pulled out a book that looked like one I had at home. “Now what I want you guys to do is figure out where Rocke is, and then tell me where he is, so I could go get my people to deal with the situation,” Mr. Drails said. “Good job for now, you guys.”

I gulped as he gave us a pat on the shoulder before opening up his portal to send us back out of his office and into our waiting room again. We walked through, and I felt so weird about it. We did well, and we were congratulated for our effort. But we couldn’t find anything about Tisiah and Rocke or even Nichelle. They were still gone and we needed to find them, fast before they got into trouble or got into any other problems.

But who knows? Maybe they’re all doing well?

That would just be hopeful thinking, because that wouldn’t be normal at all, since it was Rocke we were talking about here. I walked over to my room and plopped onto the bed, exhausted after what happened.

“We have to find them!” I shouted to myself as I leaned back against the headboard of my bed with my arms crossed over my chest in frustration.

Tisiah was such a good friend. When I just came to this academy, he welcomed me, and ever since then we became best friends. He was always there for me when I needed him. No matter what it was, he was there, and I was grateful for that fact. He was one of my closest friends and I was so worried about him now.

I couldn’t stop thinking about him, wondering where he was and if he was okay or not. I was worried about him and Nikki as well as everyone else from now on.

I got up from my bed and looked into the window, seeing the bright sun, but it didn’t cheer me up at all. No, instead it just reminded me of everything that had happened so far today, making me think of everything else that was going to happen in the future.

I sighed deeply as I looked around my room, noticing how empty it was and how I had nothing but time on my hands. Clearly I was bored, but I didn’t feel like doing anything, because I had no idea what to do next.

I walked over to my dresser and grabbed a towel that was folded neatly in the corner of it, setting it on my head and tying it up. That’s how bored I was, but then suddenly I heard someone knock on my door.

I quickly tied my hair up and made sure that it was secure before opening my door to see who it was that had knocked on my door. I saw September at the door and my mood brightened up, as I let her in my room.

She looked around at my messy room as she sighed, causing me to frown. She looked up and chuckled, “Oh no it’s fine, I just was feeling a bit heavy.” I shrugged. “Same I guess, since I was so worried about everyone else today.” She smiled as she walked past me towards the bed.

“Well, I am too,” she said as she sat down on her bed, while I took a seat beside her on the bed.

“So what have you been doing?” I asked. She shrugged and laughed. “Well you know me,” she said. “I’ve been keeping busy.” She nodded to herself as if she was proud of what she did, but she didn’t say anything else about it, and I nodded. “Busy with what?”

“Training,” she said. She rolled her eyes as if she had done nothing but train today.

Well, I usually just hang out here and talk to... well, anyone.”

She smiled widely, but it didn’t seem genuine to me at all. Well, you know, that’s what everyone does, right? It’s an academy for goodness sake. ” She nodded again to herself and laughed a bit more.

I frowned at her strange behavior, but she soon stopped laughing and sighed deeply. “Just trying to cheer you up,” she said quietly.

I nodded, knowing that she was probably right about me being a little bored. But why didn’t she just ask me what I was doing? That could’ve worked.

“Thanks for that,” I said as she smiled to herself again, and then she leaned over to me. Then she nodded her head before she got up from my bed and left my room.

I looked around, but couldn’t see her anymore. I sighed. I leaned back into the pillow in my bed, thinking of the things that she had done today to try and cheer me up. She’s a nice one when she really cares about you, but when she doesn’t, she’ll be just like everyone else.

Suddenly, my eyes closed as I fell asleep quickly due to boredom.

Preview:

I felt strange for no apparent reason as my eyes opened and I quickly glanced around. Then again, maybe it’s because I was sleeping. I reached out from my bed and, right at that moment, I heard a knock.

I stopped cold, wondering who was at my door. I looked directly at the door as the intensity of wonder in my heart began to burn. “Hello?” I shouted, still holding onto my blanket. I shrieked, startled, and unsure of what to do as someone opened the door. But as I screamed, I suddenly saw Malachi, who was clearly perplexed by my frightened behavior or my acting “surprised.”

Why are you screaming like that?” he chuckled as I followed on with his laugh, letting out a sigh of relief. “I-I guess I thought you were someone else.” I responded.

“What is it you want?”

“I want to show you guys something, and I think it would really help,” he said.
