In the Aegis branch there were dozens of good looking spies clad in black walking around and dozens of cool weapon being displayed as trophies which I assumed were collected after dozens of successful missions.aa we walked further we saw banner hanging down with Aegis written in a Greek looking font and when I asked dad about it he said that it was because the 'Aegis'was the breast plate that either Athena or Zeus wore in accordance to Greco-Roman mythology.
'Huh , that's cool ', I said while still gaping at the other wordly architecture present in the base .
I, dad and of course Noah made our way to the branch head's office with dad carrying God knows what that thing is and Noah followed us behind with his hands in his pockets. Once we arrived in front of the door I took a deep breath as dad opened the door ,
In the midst of the dark and gloomy room lined with multiple weapons which I was sure we're in constant use there sat a big and burly man with a gray beard that made him look distinguished and barely any strands of hair on his head ,if I were to be asked for his description I would say that he looked like Zeus.
'Hello good morning Reed',The Man said I'm a voice representive of his lookes, deep and intimidating
'Hello , Mr. Lucius', dad replied
After they exchanged pleasantries which couldn't really be called pleasantries,dad brought out the thingy which I noticed had an engraving of the word 'prototype' , which made me assume that whatever it wasn't ready yet and was just as the name implied a prototype.
'We finally go the prototype and all thanks to my daughter Mikaela', dad said with a prideful smile on his face and that was my cue to walk forward and once I did the mannamed Luciu gave me the most condescending look ever and said 'Well if it isn't the spawn of the idiot that stands before me', what was that supposed to me a I taught to myself as I looked at the Man with as much intensity as he looked at me.
...'Well, Lucius her name is Mikaela and it would be smart for you to let her I to Aegis seeing how she helped us on the last mission '
And to that Mr. Lucius responded with an ok , which I thought was suspicious and I guess dad did too because he narrowed his eyes at him.
'But first , I am sure you can agree that a spy needs to be able to think quickly, so If you can answer these 3 questions I will let you in', As he said that to me my first taught was well this should be interesting
'Ok', I replied with as much courage as I could muster which which probably came of as cocky
'Great, First question, On the very first day of college, a science professor was found murdered. The police had 4 suspects: The Physics professor, the football coach, the peon, and the principal. Police asked them about their whereabouts and, their replies were like this,
The Physics professor said, "He was correcting mid-year test papers."; The football coach said, "He was on the ground playing the game."; The peon said, "He was serving tea."; The principal said, "He was in his office." The police found out who was lying and caught him. How?'
After no much thought I said 'Simple, It was the physics professor, because it was the first day of school, how could he have been correcting mid-year test papers'
'Correct Miss Reed, next question, A serial killer kidnapped people and offered them 2 pills and asked them to take 1. Both the pills were the same in content and appearance. Whichever pill a victim took, the serial killer took the other one. The victim took the pill with water and died, and the killer survived all the time. How did the killer manage to get a harmless pill?'
After some consideration I answered again'The poison was in the water not the pills'
'Corect again Miss Red but you still have to answer one more question ',
'Ok' I said trying to sound cocky.
'I admire your confidence anyways last question,A man is found hanging in a room four feet off the floor. There is nothing else in the room except for a large puddle of water below him. The police do not see anything the man would have climb on to hang himself. Did he commit suicide and, if so, how did he do it?'
After consideration I said 'Simple,He stood in a block of ice mad wrapped the rope around his neck, afterwards the ice melted'
'Correct',Mr Lucien said with a sunken face which was a stark difference to the joy in dad's face and the shock on Noah's face.
'Does that mean that I'm in Mr. Lucien pror are you going to go back in what you said '
'A deal's a deal and I never go back in my word so Mikaela Reed you are welcome to Aegis, and I'll call you about your badge and your first mission '
As I, dad and Noah were about to walk out I suddenly turned back and said 'How will you call without my number '
To which he replied 'This is Aegis we don't need or ask you to get it'
'well that isn't concerning in the slightest ',I murmured under my breath and with that we walked out and made our way to the car.
Once we got to the car I turned to Noah and said' looks like you owe me five hundred dollars because I just became the youngest member of Aegis'
'dont rub it in alright ', Noah said grudgingly
'Oh I won't but we will stop by an bank so you can pay me my money', with that dad ordered the car to stop by an bank.'
When we got to the bank Noah went in and came out with an envelope which I assumed the money was in.
When he got into the car he handed me the envelope and I took the money out.
'Do you have to count it' he asked me almost sounding hurt that I didn't trust him .
'dont worry I'm just making sure and good job it's complete '.
Once we got home I headed upstairs to tell mom the good news .
