I had no idea what was really going on. I somehow feel like this is just one weird dream. I can't believe I am now some sort of secret agent, and going on missions. I mean, I've always dreamed of it, but not in this way. This is... way too personal, and all coming at us way too fast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kailey and I went to go find Lucas. Who was he, what is his job?
"Hey Rikki?" Kailey asked.
"Yeah?" I said, Kailey pulling me back to reality.
"Is that Lucas' office at the end of this hallway?"
"Well, it says his name on it so..."
I opened the door and took a step in, Kailey following close behind.
"Hello Rikki, Kailey. My name is Lucas, and I will be the one giving you your alias' and what you are to do. I hope this doesn't scare you too much, and I hope this won't overwhelm you, but it's normal. Most kids that do this kind of stuff, which is very limited, get huge nerves. So don't worry."
"Why would we be scared? C'mon, we've been through more than you can imagine." I say, maybe a little more rude than I mean to be.
"Actually, we know what you guys went through. We have been keeping our eyes on Diana and Igpae, or McFiggins and MON. We know what they have done to you, and we were trying to do everything we could to get you out of their hands. We sent agents after you, the hair and stylist lady when you guys were fighting in the arena, Keeli, and others that you might recognize walking around here."
Kailey and I stood there in shock. Not knowing what to say or think. This whole time, the CIA knew that Nanny McFiggins and MON were "keeping our parents", and were after us.
"Anyways," Lucas says, "You two are going to go to one of Diana's and Marc's source plants in Moscow. They are hosting a dinner party tomorrow night, and you will sneak out of the party and place the bugs in a room in a basement. We will give each of you an ear piece, and you will be guided to the computers. Kailey, you will go in as a caterer."
"Got it." Kailey said.
"Rikki, you will be a guest at the party. Just make sure that Igpae and Diana don't see either of you faces. We will try to disguise you as much as possible, and make you look older."
"Sounds fun." I respond.
"You're going to catch a flight tomorrow, and then there will be a cab with a driver in front holding the name 'Danobi'. You are to get in the cab, and he will take you to the party. Any questions?"
"Umm yes," Kailey said. "Where do we get our disguises?"
"The cab driver."
"Okay, thanks."
"One more question," I said. "What if we get caught? How are we going to get out?"
"The same cab will be a quarter mile away at an old diner. You will pass it on the way to the party, and he will point it out. If you get caught, we will send our best agents to get you back out. But don't worry. I am very confident in all you girls, and I know that they will be stopped."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night, Kailey and I slept in the same room, and discussed our mission.
"Rikki? Do you really think this will work? I mean, MON and Nanny McFiggins will surely recognize us, and they will kill us. I know it."
"I.... I know. I guess we will have to be extremely careful, and extremely brave."
"Easy for you to say," Kailey said, hiding her face from me. "I'm always the weak one."
"What?" I shout, astonished that she would say that she was weak. "All of us older siblings look up to you! You are so aggressive and brave even though you are so young. Most girls your age worry over breaking their nails or what new phone they should get. But you, you are fighting for the greater good of man, and none of them have ever felt and endured pain like you, or any of us. And that, Kailey, is why you are so special and amazing."
I looked at Kailey for any sign of doubt, but she just slowly moves in and gives me a hug. I usually hate being hugged, or touched for that matter, but I also needed this.
And slowly, we fell asleep.
We woke up to the sound of knocking on the door. I jumped up out of instinct, ready to fight. But in walked Lucas, along with my dad.
Kailey got up and went to hug my dad. I smiled at him and he gave me a hug too.
"Girls" he said. "I want you to be very, very smart. You've been a piece in their game, and now we need the tables to turn. They need to be in our game, and we need to take them out. It is crucial that this mission is a success. We will have access to all their facilities, and we will know what some of their plans are that we can stop. We need this. You girls need this."
"Yes sir." I said, my stomach getting anxious. They need to be beat.
I turn to Kailey, she looks ready to be victorious.
Before we leave on our flight, us six sister sit around a table.
"Well, I feel somewhat apprehensive about being apart of the first mission," I say to my sisters.
"I am just relieved to know that we actually have a plan to take down MON and Nanny McFiggins. We've just been taking the hits as the come, and now imagine how incredible we will be with a plan that can work." Hailey said with a little smirk on her face.
"Just don't do anything stupid," replied Carter. I could tell she was worried. Her eyes moved restlessly across the room.
"This is kinda fun! I mean, being able to do things in secret and with our parents. Yes, we can get hurt or worse, but we've made it this far, and we are the strongest group of people this world has ever seen!" Whooped Bailey.
"I agree. We've have been through years of living nightmares, and now, it's over. And imagine once they are officially defeated. We can go back to our house with our parents, and I know things will never be the same, but at least we will all be together safely and that's all that matters. We will be one big happy family." Alex smiled at the last words she said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kailey and I boarded the plane. We were both dead silent. I wasn't scared of the job that was needed to be done, I was afraid that MON and nanny McFiggins would take me away from my sisters, or that Kailey would get hurt.
I looked at Kailey as the plane took off. She gave me a short smile.
"We will be fine, don't worry! If you get into trouble, I'll be right there. Just make sure that I can always see you, no matter what. When we go put the bugs in the computers, I'll stand up and pretend that I am going to the bathroom. Got it?"
"Got it. I just don't want MON and nanny McFiggins to recognize me. Or you. And I definitely don't want them to find out where our sisters and parents our."
"They will never crack us. And if it were Carter, Alex, Hailey, or Bailey, they would never tell where we are."
"I know..."
"It's okay, let's just rest. We've got a big night ahead of us," I say while closing my eyes.
I think to myself, what if this is all fake? What if this is one of MON's crazy plans? If it is, what do I do? And with that, I fell asleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kailey and I woke to the city lights of Moscow.
Once the plane landed, we sped walked through the airport and found our cab. We climbed in, and quickly put on our disguises. Kailey wore are a simple black dress that she would walk around handing food and drinks in, and I wore an elegant red dress that definitely was not me at all.
"Kailey, I am going to throw up on this dress and these black heels."
"NO! They are so beautiful! You are going to look great!"
"I am going to look utterly ridiculous and awkward! I will not wear it."
"Yes you are! C'mon Rikki, it's just for this one time!"
"I know. Just don't tell another living soul that I wore this."
We passed the old diner, and then we arrived at the party. As we were walking in, I caught a glimpse of myself in the glass door. The person staring back was definitely not me. The make-up job was excellent, and I could easily look 10 years older than I really am. Kailey definitely looked older too. I hope people really believe that she is catering.
The inside of the hall was astonishing. It was huge. Way bigger than I imagined. And, across the room, I spotted the one and only MON, plus his lady sidekick, nanny McFiggins. I nudged Kailey in that direction, and she tensed up. Then, we split up in two separate directions, and she grabbed a platter of food and I talked to one of the guards attending the party.
"Hello, I am Ms. Danobi. And you are?" I asked in my most polite lady voice.
"General Poviwzach. Nice to meet you." The general said in a thick Russian accent, just as my watch vibrates telling me that the cameras have been turned off.
"And you. If you will excuse me, I need to go to the lady's room." I smile, slipping away.
I make eye contact with Kailey and I head towards the door. My feet are moving as fast as possible without causing suspicions. And when I am about to exist the room I make eye contact with him. I tense, and give a small smile hoping he wouldn't notice me. He hesitates before raising his glass and nods his head in my direction. I breathe out in relief, and touch Kaileys shoulder before taking off my heels so I can move faster. We only have a 20 minute window before the cameras turn back on.
We take the nearest stairwell and literally jump 10 steps at a time. Once we are at the bottom of the stairs and open the door, 4 guards are there checking out the cameras.
"Ey ! Chto ty zdes' delayesh' ? They yell at us in Russian, which I clearly do not understand.
"I am so sorry sirs, we do not understand Russian, and we are lost," said Kailey sweetly, giving them a flirty smile.
"Vam luchshe vernut'sya k partii prezhde..." I then punch one of them as Kailey kicks one in the leg sweeping him off his feet. As they are getting up, Kailey flips the third one to the ground, and I jump kick the fourth causing him to hit against the wall. They are definitely unconscious. But the first and second get up. And the first one alerts the other guards at the party before Kailey nails him in the head with her shoe, and I nail the other in the head with my back which holds my gun.
After that, Lucas contacts us through our ear pieces.
"The door is at the end of that hall. It should be straight ahead. Hurry! You guys only have about 12 more minutes."
Before he even finished, Kailey and I were sprinting towards the door. We opened it an saw six computers. I pulled six bugs out of my bag, and handed 3 to Kailey. And we started plugging them in left and right.
"That's it!" I shouted, starting towards the door.
"Let's go fast, I don't want to run into any more guards."
We bolted out the door, and down the hallway was 8 more guards, and nanny McFiggins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh crap," I mutter under my breath.
"What do we do?"
I ran forward, and Kailey followed behind me. Before we got to them, I pulled out my gun, and shot the lights that were above them. While they were distracted with the falling lights and sparks, Kailey and broke through them and shot out the lights along the way.
We got to the stair door, and started leaping up the stairs.
As we were running, Lucas' voice came on in our ear pieces.
"Did you guys shoot anyone?"
"No, I shot the roof above the guards to distract them" I said, in between deep breaths.
"Well, good job girls, we are getting the feed from the computers right this moment. But the cameras turn on in two minutes, so you better be close."
"What? Two minutes? Rikki, can we make that?" Kailey asked, nearly out of breath.
"I don't know, just keep running!"
We then reach the top of the stairs.
"Yes!" Kailey squeals.
"Walk casually to the bathroom, and pretend like you are walking out."
When we get in the bathroom, my watch vibrates and let's us know that the camera's are back on. We quickly fix our hair, put on our shoes, adjust or dresses and bags, and walk out of the bathroom. I give a small laugh, and Kailey joins in. We laugh all the way to the old diner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good job girls," Lucas says, as my mom, dad, and sisters walk in. We all join together in a group hug.
"Our first ever mission is complete!" Our dad says, grinning from ear to ear.
"Let's celebrate!" Shouts Carter and our mom at the same time.
"Well, don't make it a long celebration. We have another mission to complete. It's another facility that we need information from. We have assigned this one to Alex and Bailey. Don't worry girls, not on the missions are going to be two and two, but these ones need to be in order to be able to practice staying under cover. When your in a bigger group, that's hard to do. But the dream team will unite again." Lucas says, interrupting our happiness.
And with that, we went to go spend time with each other. Talking, eating, laughing, and singing. Just like we used to.

The POVABAC Program and Other Things, Including a Family Reunion of an Unforeseen Kind--Love, Alex
Sorry about the break. Life's been a little crazy lately. Not like that's unusual for us. Not anymore.
I walked out my chambers feeling the most refreshed I had felt in years. Another sweet lady led me through a fascinating labyrinth of long, bright corridors, finally stopping in front of a great oak door. "You best be on your way, love," she said as she squeezed my hand, "Your family is awaiting you." She smiled cheerily and disappeared around the bend at the end of the corridor, her white hair flouncing around her like a halo. I returned a belated grin and didn't hesitate before swinging open the door. Inside was my perfect little family, together again. It hadn't been long since we had last been together, but the setting of this gathering contrasted greatly from the dungeon we had been united in before. The walls shown like pearl and light poured from the crystal chandelier like pure sunshine. Smiles gleamed from the faces of my family members. We were once again clean and, at last, together for good. Or so we hoped.
Now I must take a few steps back from our last post. As mentioned earlier, our mother explained what was going on. Many embraces and laughs later, a guard entered and bid us to follow him. As we traipsed down a new corridor together, I noticed something about our dazzling haven: the lack of windows. The place gleamed as if it were the sun itself, yet there was no place for sunlight to enter. While this small detail would have alarmed me in earlier times, the peace that seemed to emanate through the walls kept me calm. We finally entered through another oak door, which led to another, which brought us to our final destination: a small office. It's decor was clean and uncomplicated, but the owner was not plain or boring at all-in fact, he was somehow familiar.
"Tim, Sara," said the man. "It is so good to see you!"
To the surprise of me and my sisters, he rushed forward and embraced our parents.
"Callan! We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us," said my mother, smiling at the tall stranger. He wasn't very old; judging by the hint of gray in his golden hair and the minuscule wrinkles forming around his green eyes, he could only be a year or two older than my dad. Then again, the past months of separation had aged my father greatly, so perhaps using my dad to deduce one's age wouldn't have made for the most accurate results.
"Girls," spoke my father, turning to face us, "I would like you to meet your uncle Callan."
The word "uncle" echoed through my mind as my eyes widened and blinked in surprise. This man didn't look anything like my dark-haired parents, and surely we would have heard about him sooner had he been blood-related. My mother quickly filled us all in.
"Callan is married to Alice," explained my dear mother. My eyes widened further. This just didn't make sense! But after a minute, it did. It was true, we had never met aunt Alice's husband; they were married when I was so little I had no recollection of the wedding, and whenever we were with Aunt Alice, he was "working abroad." This information, although surprising, began to make perfect sense. Carter was the first to run up and hug this seemingly-new relative; something in the way she looked at him during the first moments in the office told me his appearance rang a bell. One by one, we joined the embrace. My parents stood by and smiled.
Soon we all took a seat in the 8 chairs that sat before his desk. Sure enough, there were framed pictures of my young cousins before us. I smiled. I already felt like I had known my uncle forever.
"I'm so happy to see you all," said uncle Callan with a grin. "But alas, it is time we move on to less-enjoyable matters. I assume you guys know the backstory to all of this?"
We nodded, remembering our mother's explanations in our meeting room earlier today.
"Well, I know how much you guys want to be done with all of this. I completely agree if you decline. However, your parents and I agree that you would be the best for the job. Before you protest, let me explain:
Diana McFiggins Winthrop and Marc A. Winthrop, aka Nanny McFiggins and M.O.N., have been after your parents' invention for years and years now. While there was a time when we thought the contraption was safe and so were your parents, it has become evident that this is not the case; the two are still desperate to get their hands on the invention, and have obviously been trying to use your girls to get through to it. We need to stomp their mission dead before we can truly breathe easy again. The Winthrops-yes, they are indeed married-work alone, fortunately, and rarely use outside forces, so it will be rather easy to get the two of them. However, there's more to it. They have other inventions used mainly to destroy, as well as well-hidden plans to get to the invention. We need to target and destroy the weapons and plans, as well as lock up the Winthrops, before our mission is complete. Unfortunately, these two are very secretive, which is why we feel you six would be the best for the job, as you are more familiar with them and their techniques than any of our secret services are. Should you choose to accept this mission, we will be dividing you up into pairs and sending each pair, as well as a small back-up team, to each of the three targets. I know it's not much information to go off of but please- say you'll accept?"
I was rather shocked and a little angry. Everything had been going so well!! We were finally together and now this stranger wanted to rip us apart again! And our parents supported him-what was this??!
The sound of a chair hitting the ground shook me from my thoughts. Carter stood standing, firm and tall and reliable, staring Callan down quizzically. After a moment of silent analysis, she gave her answer.
"Yes. A million times yes."
Carter! I thought. Are you crazy? Are you trying to get us killed?! However, Carter wasn't alone. Hailee and Bailey stood up with her and pledged their allegiance. I couldn't believe it. Soon, Rikki joined them. After more thought, I gave in. He was right-we would never be able to breathe easy until we stopped the Winthrops for good. I stood up. A few moments later, Kailey rose. It was official. Our new adventure had begun.
Our parents smiled, although they were teary-eyed. Looking back on it, it had to have been the hardest on them. Fortunately, they were to join in with the back-up and research teams. Uncle Callan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Before we get started, you must go through the Protect our Victims and Bystanders and Children program, also known as the POVABAC program. It's basically a Witness Protection Program upgrade for secret scientists-call it what you like. You girls will need to take on new identities and habits. After these past few years, it is likely the Winthrops will know you better than you may like to think. Shall we begin?"

Our Secret Mission. Love, Kailey
You've heard the story from Bailey and Alex, but I wanted to tell you mine.
When Rikki and I walked into the room that Keeli was in, I was ready to fight. But I didn't have to. The guards untied her and walked her out. When they came back, Rikki and I were put in another cell, and we soon fell asleep...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About five hours later, I woke up. I looked to the right and left, but Rikki wasn't by me. In fact, I couldn't find her at all. Then I realized I wasn't even in my cell anymore. I was in what looked like a tent and a nice looking lady was washing my clothes. I sat up and looked around.
The tent had a nice smell to it. It smelled almost like home. The nice lady turned and saw me. "Oh! You're awake child." She smiled at me and helped me stand. Then she grabbed a soft white robe and slipped it around my shoulders. My eyelids fluttered, but she shook me and told me I couldn't fall asleep yet. "My name is Agatha," She said with a smile. "I'm going to dress you up good! Your'e family won't know who ya' are!" She took my hand and led me over to the closet. I grabbed a pink t-shirt and some denim jeans. Then I noticed the vanity.
"Oh!" I gasped and I nearly leaped into the chair. After about ten minutes, I had finished applying lipstick, eyeshadow, and eyeliner. I looked in the mirror and admired my makeup job. I still had the magic touch! Then I went over to the full sized mirror and examined my body. I had changed almost entirely. My slightly plump waistline had become almost stick-like and my round cheeks had a dent in them. My arms were rough and contained a lot more muscle and dry skin than I was used to. My hair was pulled back into a pony tail and was slightly curled. Pearl studs decorated my ears.
I turned to look at Agatha. "I'm ready to see my family." I said. She smiled and led me through the curtain door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guards took my hand and Rikki's. We were supposed to be going on a mission to "botch Nanny Mcfiggin's plans." (Her name is actually Diana) Rikki and I followed the guards down a long staircase.
"What do you think our mission is?" Rikki whispered to me.
"I don't know, maybe we'll have to kick someone in the face," I kicked my leg. "Or punch someone in the stomach." I punched the air in front of me.
Rikki giggled. "How about you try not to take out the guards that are going to tell us first!"
I laughed. It felt good to laugh with my sister again.
We reached the end of the staircase and the guards led us into a room. "Please sit down girls." One guard gestured to the chairs. We sat. "My name is Jackson and I will help you with your debriefing," He said with a small mischievous smile. "You will be completely destroying the foundation of Diana's plan using weapons and stealth. Think you can manage?" He brought out a map of the entire building. "Here," He said, pointing to a dot on the map. "You both will sneak over there and a man will be waiting for you. His name is Lucas. He will start you on your mission. Here you go." He handed me and Rikki some pistols and small metallic contraptions shaped in a domed circle. "I trust that you both know how to use a gun?"
"Sort of." We both said.
"Good enough," He sighed. " Only use the pistols when absolutely necessary, and the small round things are called bugs. You will both put one on the computers that are running the whole operation. One each. No more, no less. Understood?" He put the map away. Then he gave us a few more things like some rope and several extra bullets.
"Well that was short." Rikki whispered to me.
"You both need to be very careful. If you are caught, the whole plan will be completely ruined." The guard said. "Also, if you need anything, remember to use your bracelets." He pointed to the metal chains of precious antidote on our wrists. "They're there for a reason."
With that final piece of advice jumping around in our minds, he sent us off without another word.
We're off to find Lucas. Wish us luck!!!
When Rikki and I walked into the room that Keeli was in, I was ready to fight. But I didn't have to. The guards untied her and walked her out. When they came back, Rikki and I were put in another cell, and we soon fell asleep...

His name is Lucas. He will start you on your mission. Here you go." He handed me and Rikki some pistols and small metallic contraptions shaped in a domed circle. "I trust that you both know how to use a gun?"
"Sort of." We both said.
"Good enough," He sighed. " Only use the pistols when absolutely necessary, and the small round things are called bugs. You will both put one on the computers that are running the whole operation. One each. No more, no less. Understood?" He put the map away. Then he gave us a few more things like some rope and several extra bullets.
"Well that was short." Rikki whispered to me.
"You both need to be very careful. If you are caught, the whole plan will be completely ruined." The guard said. "Also, if you need anything, remember to use your bracelets." He pointed to the metal chains of precious antidote on our wrists. "They're there for a reason."
With that final piece of advice jumping around in our minds, he sent us off without another word.
We're off to find Lucas. Wish us luck!!!
A New Chapter- Love, Bailey
The last memory before I fell asleep was 2 guards dragging me to my cell. They both looked at me and told me I was going to be okay. As confused as I was, I went right to sleep. I would take all the rest time I could. I woke up who knows how long later, to the sounds of my guards unlocking my cell door. "Hi Bailey-Alice, I'm Chinko and this is Rodney. You're safe now." I gasped. I didn't understand... where was I? More importantly, where was my family?
"Bailey, we're going to take you to Pedra. She'll clean you up and get you ready for your debriefing", Rodney said calmly. Thousands of questions filtered through my mind. How safe was I really?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pedra was a very rotund, kind-looking woman. Her assistants also seemed trustworthy. They washed me clean of a year's worth of dirt and grime. the hot water felt fantastic on my dry skin. As soon as it was over, I reluctantly got out. "Ok's honey, I's abou' to show you's a mighty fine closet of yo' new clothes," Pedra whispered. I didn't even hesitate as she led me to a white door. In slow motion, Pedra opened the door. I promise you I almost passed out. For my first outfit, I chose a deep purple (oh-so-soft) sweater, light wash skinny jeans, and some slightly beat up converse. Oh my gosh, I realized, these are my old clothes!!! I pulled the sleeve to my face and inhaled the scent of my old house.
"C'mon girly, let's hurry on now. You have people waiting". Before I left, Pedra told me she wanted me to look at myself. To see how I'd changed. I walked to the full length mirror, not prepared for what I saw.
My hair had lighted about 2 shades from all the sun. My muscle amount had increased greatly. My skin had darkened to a nice tan. Then I took a good look at my face. Ugh, I sported dark circles, 2 bruises, and a couple of cuts. Yay, I love looking like a criminal. Luckily, my hair hadn't lost its waviness. The super long tresses had been cut by Pedra and they now reached my mid-back. I couldn't help but be excited to see my sisters after they had been groomed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My 2 guards led me to a tall oak door. before we walked in, 3 boys that looked about Hailey, Kailey, and I's age walked past. They were absolutely filthy and looked exhausted. Changing my mindset, I thought about my family behind those doors. Taking a deep breath, I walked in. There sat all my sisters except Alex, and my parents. I ran into their gentle embrace. We all turned as we heard the door creak open and saw Alex walk through. She joined our family group hug. We sat like that for about 10 minutes until finally, Carter spoke up and asked, "Why exactly do Nanny McFiggins and MON hate you?"
"Are you sure your ready," Mom asked.
"Yes," we all answered in unison.
Here's the story...
The CIA called in Sara Clarence and Tim Dachmen, 2 professional scientists. Someone had stolen a lethal weapon called the Gemminizer. The weapon has a pointed needle at the front and when you put the needle in someone, it injects the deadliest of germs. These people were using it to kill off world leaders. Sara and Tim were being used to create a duplicate. However, while they were working they managed to do the opposite. They created a way to have the needle drain you of germs. It won't work if you're already dead, though. As they created that, they secretly progressed with another discovery. This weapon could drain all infection and basically make you indestructable. There was a leak in the CIA and somehow rival scientists found out. Out of all of them, only 2 pursued the weapon. Nanny McFiggins and MON. Or as everyone else knows them, Diana and Marc. At the time, our parents did not know it was them. They received phone calls with strange voices, telling them to give them the weapon. After threats arrived, Sara and Tim ran away. They had fallen in love over the last year and decided to get married after getting to safety. 1 year later, Carter was born. Every year a new child was created. When my parents had left, they took the liquid weapon with them. For every girls eighth birthday, Sara and Tim manufactured a bracelet with one charm to match that girls personality. Inside the charms, Sara and Tim placed part of the weapon until none was left. Nanny McFiggins and MON took Tim and Sara and tried to make them give them the recipe. Sara and Tim refused. During that time is when their loyal children came for them. Now that they have, MON and Nanny McFiggins are going to try to extract the liquid from old experiments and duplicate it.
Wowwww. This is why the whole thing started... My whole life was pretty much destroyed because of that. Just then, 5 men came in and told us it was time for a debriefing. He asked Kailey and Rikki to come with him. Then he would tell them their mission. Rikki and Kailey were escorted out. "What's this about a mission," asked Alex.
"Because you know so much about your parents captors, you girls will go undercover on missions to botch their plans. You all will get alias's and disguises. We will debrief you on your job and then send you off," replied one of the officers

Now it's time to start a new chapter. A new beginning. Meet new people, meet some old friends also. All I know is, times are changing. Finally, for the better.
