SURREPTITIOUS
THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V
"When would our outfits arrive again?" Jane asked Orie who was currently engrossed into her phone. "After lunch time I guess" the girl replied without giving a glance to her friend that just rolled her eyes. "When did she got so addicted to using mobile gadgets?" Jane jokingly asked her friends who were having a snack with her. They were gathered in the living room of the house and the only one missing is Hypo who is inside her room.
"Why are you suddenly attached in your phone?" Danny asked as she walked towards Orie who was laying on the floor. Orie was so engrossed that she didn't bother to reply to her curious friend that made Danny snatch her phone away. "Hey!" Orie complained. Danny looked at her friend's phone and ceased her brows as soon as she saw what Orie was meddling with. "What..."Danny lost her words which made the rest of the group curious as well. They were just about to check what was on the phone when Orie asked. "Jameson, did the organization experimented on other living creatures as well?". The guy looked as if he was unsure to answer. He got abruptly grabbed the phone from Danny and saw what Orie was talking about.
"Those dog-like creatures were randomly found scattered in this country and people are suspecting that it might be the government or something that's behind all of this and what's more suspicious is that there are no recorded casualties regarding the said creatures" Orie voiced out as she stares at the young man. "I've heard about those kind of creatures from some personnel in the organization but I never thought that I'd be real" He finally replied as he brushed his hair back.
"So the organization 'is' behind all of this?" Marille tries to confirm the situation when Hypo came running down the stairs with her phone on her hand. "Hey, what's wro-" "Your mom is calling" Hypo cut Haily off as she shows us her phone that's still ringing. "Give it to me" Orie said with a serious look on her face. She sat down at the sofa as the others follow her and sat beside her as she place the phone on the center of the table before answering the video call.
"Good morning ladies and Felix, there was a sudden breakout from one of the labs when mutant dogs killed some of the people here and everything was a mess" Dr. Giselle started that made everyone in the room on edge. "So the articles in the news are real and it's all your fault?" Jane asked. "Well, most of it yes, but investigation shows that there's a traitor inside the organization and created the situation we are in right now" The lady answered with a frustrated look. "So what do you want us to do?" West asked. "The organization instructed me to give you another official assignment and that is to hunt down the traitor and kill all mutant creatures in sight" she began "The traitor is Dr. Carol that's been working for the organization for almost thirteen years now and we don't know what triggered him to do so but further investigations found that he brought creatures with him to the country you are in for an unknown reason; we don't know what he's up to but we did found some leads as to where you can find him" She continued. "And where would that be?" Jameson asked.
"Ventron Hotel, our intel told us that he'd been offered a job there as a bellman" Dr. Giselle answered which made the group fell into silence. "I know, that's where you'll be attending your school's event, that's all for now, may you success on your assignment" The lady said before the call ended. "Now that's just f*cked up" Danny commented on the situation. "I'll go prepare some weapons I can bring with me" Jameson said as he stood from his seat and headed upstairs.
"Let's form a plan later, let us prepare for lunch in the meantime" Haily suggested which they agreed on. "I'll prepare our lunch, kindly go cook some rice" Orie volunteered as she stood up and went to the kitchen as Jane followed her.
The rest of the girls went their separate ways; West who went to her room to meditate; Danny who went to the training room with Marille and Hypo to have a light training while Haily stayed to help Orie and Jane prepare lunch.
ORIE'S P.O.V
Everyone's currently eating with minimum noises when we heard the doorbell so I immediately stood up to check who it was and as expected, it was the delivery of our outfits. I let them enter and bring a lot of things inside the house. I turned to thank them and they did as well; they instructed us that the make-up artist would arrive tomorrow morning to help us with the last preparations before they left.
That was quick for the delivery and giving out some instructions. I turned towards the dining hall to see everyone anticipating and I told them that our outfits arrived earlier than expected that made them somewhat excited despite the burden we are carrying on our shoulders. I returned to my seat and finished what I was eating.
Haily and Marille volunteered to clean up and so we head to the living room to check the boxes that has our names on it and some instructions as well. We decided to check it all out when the two finish cleaning up and so we did. We waited for the two to take their respective boxes and we all opened our boxes; even Jameson joined us to check his attire for tomorrows event.
Praises echoed through the room as we check the fabrics and since the whole gown wasn't assembled yet, we would know the entire look tomorrow when it's about time.
"Let's say we get our boxes to our rooms, shall we?" I suggested
