After receiving the orders from the Captain, Tory went back home, this time she wasn't knocked unconscious but she still could not tell where the base was.
She was dropped off at the train station again and on the way back he bought snacks for Vic.
"Tell me, what is there not to like? Tory is perfect, she isn't cool or trying to be cool even if she is and non of this is pretend. She is so used to being a boy she has forgotten she isn't, I like this character" Philip analyzed with a grin and Jeffrey did not refute.
"Who knew you would have already tapped into his powers, this is amazing...a bit" Zakhir said, clearing his throat at the end.
After Tory opened the door like always Vic was waiting in the parlor.
"Brother!"
"I brought some snacks" Tory laughed.
"You never let me have snacks...are you leaving?" Vic asked and Tory paused before giving an awkward chuckle.
"I got my first mission"
"That is awesome, how long will you be away?" Vic asked curiously with a bright face. If Tory was going to be out for a bit it meant she was gaining a bit of freedom.
"Probably a month or more" Tory hesitated.
Vic paused. "One whole month?"
"Yeah, will you miss me?" Tory tried to joke but she could see the sadness in her sister's eyes.
They had never been part for more than a week before and now that she was leaving for a month she must be very sad.
"I will try to finish early" Tory sighed.
"Do not rush, I don't want you to be in danger... it's just that it'll be lonely here without you" Vic smiled, trying to hide her sadness.
"That is why I've decided you can be a babysitter if you want to, at least it will make you less bored" Tory announced, catching Vic off guard.
"Really?" Vic asked with wide eyes and seeing Tory nod she broke out in a joyful cheer.
The next day, Tory said goodbye and left for HQ but before leaving he dropped his atm card with Vic.

"I'm the leader in this mission so pay attention" Hetz said with a smug smile.
"We're partners and I'm not that bad" Tory said.
They were making their way to the airport with new identities. Hetz was Skyler while she was Timothy and for this mission they were cousins.
The flight lasted three hours and Hetz slept throughout.
"We've arrived" Tory said shaking Hetz awake.

The scene then changed to Tory and Hetz sitting inside a car.
"Thank you for picking us up uncle" Hetz stretched feeling a bit sleepy.
"No problem Sky and you should talk a bit more Tim" the man driving the car said. He was dressed in casual clothes and no one would guess he was an agent and his smile was so easygoing that Tory almost beloved his act but she wasn't going to be left out, she had trained for this.
"I'm fine just a bit hungry from the trip" she sighed. Her character was pretty normal unlike Hetz. Their job was to make sure even they believed their acting and Tory was about to find out why despite being the way he was, Hetz was still selected to be a spy.
"No worries we'll just branch at a restaurant but don't tell your aunt, I promise to deny you" Uncle Steven chuckled.
"When I get back home, I'll make sure to gift Pure a super gift, she deserves it" Philip said excitedly.
Jeffrey just shook his head and did not reply.
Coincidentally or not so much, in the restaurant, Tiphany was having lunch with her friends. Tiphany was a 16-year-old blonde-haired girl but the most important thing was she was Diego's daughter.
"Are you sure you can afford this? this place looks grand" Hetz said looking around.
"Don't say that I'm sure uncle can take up something" Tory smiled.
"Oh my cunning nephew, you guys are paying for your meal" Steven said with a serious expression causing the two to freeze.
"Good joke" Hetz laughed it off.
"What if it's not a joke we'll wash plates to pay for the meal?" Tory whispered to Hetz.
"Speak for yourself, look at this face I'm sure a wink will earn me lunch" Hetz smiled smugly.
"Yeah, good luck with that" Tory walked away and sat on a free table. Then she brought the menu close to her face and it almost gave her a heart attack which made Steven burst out laughing.
"This is not funny at all, you're paying" Tory said folding her hands.
After another series of arguing they had lunch and left. They were always in character and they did not meet Tip even once at the restaurant, it was like they weren't even paying attention to her.
The day went by without much to do but the next day Hetz and Tory hurried off to school it was a long run because they had missed the bus.
"This is your fault you know that..why are you always sleeping, are you pregnant?" Tory panted as they neared the school gate.
Fortunately, there were still a few minutes before 8 o'clock so they would not be very late for class.
Because she wasn't paying attention, Tory bumped into someone in the hallway. "So sorry..." she apologized and continued running.
"You have a pretty good stamina despite looking like a stick" Hetz smirked and Tory glared at him.
The teacher was already in class and Tory could only sigh in frustration. "Sorry we're late"
"Oh you must be the new students" the teacher smiled. "Come and introduce yourselves"
Tory and Hetz then walked to the front of the class and introduced themselves.
"I'm Skyler Miller"
"And I'm Timothy Miller but you can call me Tim. We won't be staying long, we're here to spend some time with our uncle" Tory explained while Hetz stood at the corner and watched.
Because of Tory's glasses, no one paid her much attention at first but Hetz knocked them down by mistake which made the class gasped.
