November 10th; Morning; Raven Demona; Force Headquarters (cont...)
Shiva and I walked past the cubicals where other Force agents and trackers (those who locate victims) were working. As we walked by, Shiva signaled six other agents, Geranium, Viola, Jonas, Sawyer, Esteban, and Manuel, to come with us.
Shiva led us outside where seven other Force Agents were standing at attention. These must be the new recruits, I thought. There was a black cat girl, a wolf man (Wolf Drixenol
), a male red gargoyle (Will Ryan
), a magenta haired sprite, a blue haired corpse, a gothic mermaid with a purple tail, and an ice princess.
The captian signaled us to line up in an orderly fashion a walked between us and the new recruits.
"Here's how this will work. I will call an agent's name and they will step forward. Then I will call the name of a recruit and they will step forward. Finally, agent and recruit will shake hands and the agents will take it from there. ARE WE CLEAR?"
"Yes, madam!" we all screamed.
"Good." Shiva went to her list. "Now, Esteban, you're with Amylee."
Esteban stepped up and so did the mermaid. He led her away.
Shiva continued. "Viola, you're with Fiery."
Viola led the sprite away.
"Jonas, you're with Wolf."
Jonas led wolf man away.
"Manuel, you're with Blue."
Manuel led the corpse away.
"Geranium, you're with Isabella."
Geranium led the ice girl away.
"Sawyer, you're with Topez."
Sawyer led the cat girl away.
Finally, there was me.
"And Raven, you're with Will."
Shiva indicated towards the gargoyle. So I was paired with Will Ryan from Nightmare Village. Coolness.
We did our thing and I took him back inside. I patted him on the back.
"Hey, Will. Long time no see."
He smiled back. "I couldn't agree with you more, Raven. How long has it been?"
"Two years too long. So how's everyone back home?"
"Everyone misses you. Especially your old partner, Cassandra. And outside the Force there's Judicia Nadine and Alexander Farce."
I brightened when he mentioned Alexander. Then I came to my senses. Did this mean he knew who I was?
Uh oh.
Will shook his head. "Yes, I know it's you, Ginger."
I was horrified when he said my name. "How did you find out?" I whispered.
"I saw that sparkle in your eyes when I mentioned Alexander. You are the only person who's like that." He must have sensed my discomfort so he continued. "But don't worry. I won't tell anyone."
I smiled back at him. "Thanks."
Shiva ran up to us. "What time is it?"
I looked at my Dracula watch. My eyes widened. "Oh shit! It's 7:52!"
"Damn it!" Shiva started swearing in farsi. Then she whispered something to Randy, a redhead sprite who was in in charge of the PA system.
Randy turned to the microphone. "Attention. Attention. It's time for school. Change and move out. Over."
I barely had enough time to turn to my new partner and say, "Well, nice seeing you again."
Will turned to me. "Ditto. I'll see you at school then."
"Yeah. I'll try to figure out who you are."
"I'm suprised you haven't so far."
Before I could reply, he turned and walked away leaving me standing there cold and confused.
There wasn't any time for questions so I zapped back to my black haired, skeleton armed self, grabbed my backpack and set off for school.
To be continued...
Don't worry. Jack's in the next one.
