I tapped Even's registered dial on my contact lists and waited for his call. Of course, making a distance between Benina who was looking at herself every once in a while and Kherst, who acts more like a student now because he took another man's bespectacled glasses.
Benina couldn't stop looking at her new look because she thought she couldn't do the 'magic change' of her outfit. Her words.
"Benina, you shouldn't act like it's ypur first time, we will get caught," 006 called her through our earpieces because he noticed her antics on her new look. But he still acted like someone who waits for the bus.
Since, we're in the waiting shed.
"I just can't believe my dress can turn into a tank top. Now my skirt is gone," she spoke as if she had a small-time grief of her skirts' loss.
"I get your point Benina. But cut that for now, we'll celebrate your victory of changing clothes in the public after this mission. We don't have time," I told her because Even was taking so long in answering his god-damned phone.
Where is he now? Tsk, must he not get lost in this place! Freaking Eleven Trove Vaynerchuk!
"I feel distress in there guys," Thadd chided through his earpiece. "Is there something we need to know? Keio and I have been waiting in the park's entrance. I was also calling Doc Even. He hasn't picked up his phone."
Damn, Even is not answering his phone!
"I will call for backup." Kherst fished out his phone and dialed someone from his contact list.
Since his phone and his earpiece is connected, it's also connected to ours. So we could hear who he's talking to.
"Yo, what's up?" I creased my brows, what's with the accent of this person?
"Pick us in here," Kherst answered while giving our location. "Our mentoring member is not yet around, we need your assistance."
"Sure yea! Gotta wait fo me in three seconds!" After the call it was immediately cut-off.
I don't know whom Kherst was talking to, but the person seems to be harmless. And yes, I mentally counted 1 2 3, thinking that it was a joke.
But it wasn't.
A small jeep stopped in front of us and the passenger seat's window opened. Revealing a young man of my age. Well, he's quite appealing.
"Yo, Numba six! Hop in with ye mates!" he called us that made me and Benina looking at each other.
He have good looks, but he had a weird accent.
Kherst didn't hesitated to hop on the small jeep's passenger seat. So Benina and I took the seat at the back. Quite cozier than Even's taxicab.
"Whatcha doin' here, mate? Good thin' me and mah men wer strollin' 'round here," he spoke. And none was what I understood. I just got the part where he asked of what we are doing in this area.
"Take us to the usual, 096," Kherst told the driver.
So this one is also like 006. But why is he living like a normal American guy?
He looked at me and Benina at the back seat and smile.
"I change my accent for my mission. Don't worry, I just use my accent to annoy this one here," 069 told us before gesturing his thumb to Kherst, who scoffed when we heard him change his accent.
"I thought, it's how you really speak," Benina commented. But the man just chuckled and turned his head to Kherst.
"Your team has to be in five members, where's your remaining members? We'll take 'em."
"Turn to the main entrance of the park, we instructed them to wait for us." 069 nodded then stepped on the gas.
And one thing I had in mind is... I hope I can still live after this.
× × ×
After the tokyo drift style of 069's driving, I almost felt the urge to vomit on the floor of this jeep. I just stopped myself because I saw Benina who lost her consciousness due to the shock she felt.
"Hein, you shit," kherst called 069's alter name who just smiled at him with pride. I may see 006's stoic face on the rear view mirror, but the pale on his skin is very much visible.
Indication that he's not used to 069's driving style.
"Sorry man, this is my second time to drive my old pal." He grinned then looked at Kherst's side window. "Is that your mates? They're kind of in deep trouble."
I immediately looked at the window outside and there, I saw Keio and Thadd running around the girls.
The Alpha Team.
Kherst looked at me. "Get them, Ami" I nodded at him and jumped off the jeep to run towards the park's entrance.
"Thadd! Keio! Go to the jeep!" I shouted. The two seems to be too occupied because they didn't heard me. So I dashed to reached them out of the Alpha team's chase.
I grabbed Keio, who was shocked when he saw me carrying him, and grabbed Thadd's arm to run towards the jeep.
"Shit! I didn't know why they were chasing us!" Thadd exclaimed as he recovered from the shock of me grabbing him. I just snickered while slowly gasping for air. Damn, running while carrying a kid and pulling a teen is like running with training logs.
"Obviously, Thadd, they chased us because you said their panties are showing!" Keio growled. I glared at Thadd, this son of a—
Man.
"It wasn't my fault they didn't wear their skirts right!" Thadd defended.
"It's still wrong to say it out! You're a male!"
"And let them be seen by other men‽ damn, they're ogling on those women!"
"Who are they anyway!?" Keio shot back.
It took the two for another sets of bickering before we finally reached the jeep. I saw on my peripheral vision of how Keio was shocked of our new vehicle but we don't have time, these two are still being chased.
I pushed them inside the back seat of the jeep before I hopped in.
An Alpha team member even shot her bullet at the back of the jeep before 069 could quickly step on the gas.
"Damn, Kherst. You will gonna pay for my jeep's damages!" he exclaimed, but 006 just stayed silent while tapping his phone.
The three of us are still gasping for air, much to Benina's delight. She's even eating her gouache cake.
"Seriously Thadd? Panties?" she teased but the teen just rolled his eyes. Too tired to fire back a word.
"Good thing, you left your sling bag in here, Ami. Or else, we'll loose our only object," 006 spoke, still tapping with his phone. "Once we get to our temporary hideout, I'll contact Doctor Even. We need his assistance."
We didn't answered him but we nodded. And again, damn it Eleven Trove Vaynerchuk!
