Chapter 4

(Next Morning)

Cora was on her way to Mr. Albert to ask about her mission. She arrives at Mr. Albert's room, she knocks the door three times but Mr. Albert didn't answer, So opens the door but Mr. Albert wasn't there.

"Hmm?... that's new, this is the first time Mr. Albert isn't in his office first thing in the morning.

*wonders around the room*

Where could Mr. Albert have gone?"

While Cora was looking around. She sees an envelope that is different from the others, she opens the envelope to find something shocking.

A few minutes later Mr. Albert's opens the door and walks in the room. Cora quickly returns the envelope and acts like nothing happens.

"Cora what are you doing here?"

"Umm, I just want to ask about my mission Sir." Cora ask.

"Ohh, that's right, ehemm. *Set on a chair*

This mission I assign you is to get the USB drive that contains data about the location and information about BANZIA. This is gonna be difficult and one mistake will lead to danger, so you have to be careful, Cora"

Mr. Albert said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Sir." Cora saluted.

(One Month later)

The first day of school. Cora wasn't able to ask Mr. Albert about the companies because she was afraid to ask.

*Cora's mind*

"I didn't even have a courage to ask about the companies, but I will know about it soon, for sure *fist*. I just need time to build my courage" She said in her mind while walking.

As she was walking, There was a boy running in the hallway and then accidentally bumps in to Cora hard, sending both of them stumbling.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

The boy said and stands up he walks to Cora and reach he's hands to her.

"Hey, I'm really sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." The boy said sincerely.

Cora just glares at him and stands up on her own. She glares at the boy again and said something to him.

"If you were just walking and not running in the hallway, you wouldn't accidentally crash on to me!" Cora said furiously.

The boy was scared, he apologizes again and run off.

"Boys, don't really get there lessons, huh!?"

She said furiously.

Cora arrives at her room, she sat down beside the window to have some fresh air,

When a boy sat down beside her and started to talk to her.

"Hello there." The boy next to her said while waving and smiling.

Cora just ignores him and continuous to look at the window. The boy just smiles and said to make her look his way.

"Hello there Cora, How have been?" The boy said while smiling.

Cora was shock and turns to look at him.

"How do you know my name?" Cora asks with suspicion.

The boy just laugh, and he introduced himself to Cora.

"Hahaha, I don't know just a hint."

He reached his hands to Cora

"I'm, Noah Everhart, It's a pleasure to meet you sister"

Cora looked at him with confuse face.

"Huh?..."

(A few minutes later, in the cafeteria)

"So you're my brother?" Cora said but still looking so suspicious of him.

"Are you sure, you're not tricking me?

or just joking on me? Because if you are my brother, Mr. Albert would say it to me sooner." She said while eating bread.

"Oops, correction'Step-brother' and I told

Mr. Albert or should I say our Grandfather, that I would be the one to introduce myself to you, So he kept it to himself for 3 years."

Noah Said.

*Cora blinks twice*

"If you say so. So are you the other person who was assigned to this mission?"

Cora asks Noah with a smile.

"Huh!? What mission?" Noah said with confuse face.

Cora just looks at him with shock, and she remembers Mr. Albert's warning.

(Flashbacks)

"Don't tell anyone about this in school, only you and the other person knows about this, not even that boy." Mr. Albert said

["That boy" \= Noah]

"I'm doomed" Cora said in her mind with panic face, so she made an excuse to not spell the beans on him.

"A mis- A miz- A missio... I mean Mr. Albert says that he will assign you in a mission if you get home, Hehehehe"

Cora said awkwardly.

"Ohh? Really? He will give me a mission again?" Noah said joyfully

"Ye-yeah, hahaha" Cora laugh awkwardly.

After dealing with Noah for 5 minutes.

"Ughh... I feel exhausted just by dealing with him... If Noah's not the one I'm working with, who is it?" Cora says.

(The bell rings)

After the class was over.

Cora was wondering around the campus to memorize all the route and to find a secret passage. She search around, and she ends up in the basketball court.

There she sees a suspicious door, she walks closer to the door when she's about to open it, someone suddenly walks in it was the basketball team. She was startled, but stays calm, and she walks out the basketball gym and run fast as she can to her classroom.

"I was so close to open the door!!!! Argh!!!"

(Cora's Mind) She slam the desk while looking so furious.

"What is wrong with you all of a sudden?"

Noah says

"None of your business, idiot." Cora said meanly.

Noah just looks at her with surprised face.

"That's even meaner than you said to that boy earlier" Noah said with a dramatic tear on his eyes.

"Shut Up!" Cora replied.

But little did Cora knows from the start of her search. Someone was watching her the whole time, and it was the same man from before.
