But he was whom Jessica was thinking about, it was Ryan Scott...

Jessica looked at Daniel.
Jessica: What's your brother's name?

Daniel: Ryan. Ryan Scott.

Jessica nodded.
Jessica (thinks): How could it be? Ryan is the one?! How could I not know about this?

??: Little Princess, you know what to do right?

A small girl of 5 years old was sitting on a chair while facing an elderly man.

Girl: Hmm, I know

??: Make sure you remember the things we've told you.

Girl: Yes, dad

Jessica: Project R-519, bro, I know you're trained, but please, I'm just a newbie.

Ryan: Project M-184, fine, I'll help you with that

Before they're nominated as Agents, during their training session, they're addressed as Projects. Though, not all trainees succeed to become an agent. For those who fail to become an agent, what happens to them is unknown.

Pamela: Hey Project...

Ryan: R-519

Pamela: Yeah, right. Wanna have lunch with Jessica and me?

Ryan: Project M-184, not Jessica

Pamela: Yeah, whatever. Project this, Project that, ugh, this is so confusing

Pamela held Ryan's hand and pulled him to the table where Jessica was already sitting.

Jessica: Oh! You came, finally

Ryan: Yeah

The two children sat down.

Pamela: Project R-519, your parents are agents, right?

Ryan: Were. They're missing

Jessica: Missing?

Ryan: That's what I came to know from the orphanage.

Pamela: Oooooo. Whatever, let's have lunch. I'm hungryyyyyy

Pamela looked at Ryan, observing him.

Ryan: I know I'm handsome, Project M-726

Jessica choked on her food. Pamela looked at Ryan, foolishly.

Jessica: You? And handsome? Bro, you look like a dinosaur

Pamela cackled on hearing Jessica's comment.

Pamela: You two, especially Jessica is so hilarious!

Ryan: The reason I don't want to sit with you

Jessica: Why would I miss the opportunity of roasting you?

She smiled and continued eating.

Boy1: What do you think of yourself, Project M-184? You can match us? We've been training for eight years.

Jessica: Why did you do that?

Boy2: We can do anything we want. Just get lost or else we'll make you cry

Jessica: Fine, make me cry. I also want to cry to clean my eyes.

The first boy looked at the other and smirked.

Boy1: We don't fight with kids

Jessica: Scared?

There is always a special kind of people present everywhere, bullies. And there's no exception in the training section. These two were the heads of the bullies in the training section. And like their job, they had bullied and hurt one of the Projects who shares the dorm with Jessica.

Boy2: Girl, (steps forward and stands close to Jessica) since you're begging for it, I'll gift you a few punches an-

Before he could finish, Jessica gave him a hard punch in his stomach. The boy clutched his stomach unable to say something. His friend looked at Jessica and ran towards her to attack her. The two boys and a girl, the fight began. Within seconds, people had gathered around.
Pamela was watching quietly. She was the one who had been bullied.

Ryan: Project M-184!

Jessica didn't listen to anyone. Within a few minutes, the boys lay flat on the ground. Jessica glared at them, standing upright without any scratches whereas the two trained boys had bruises near their eyes and were tired.

???: Project M-184! What the heck is this?! How dare you lay hands on your seniors?!

A man in his early twenties walked toward her.
Jessica looked at the person. The man stopped in his tracks. He saw a spark of fire in Jessica's eyes.

??: I can't believe this! She's a monster.

Jessica looked at her defeated opponents.
Jessica: Don't mess with Jessica Kennedy or her acquaintances. Keep that in your filthy minds.

Jessica walked away leaving everyone speechless, some shocked, some awed.

Jessica: He was in the orphanage... He doesn't know that he belongs to a gang. Does the agency know?

Jessica paced around her room. Only Daniel and her were in the house. She had changed her dress and was waiting for the rest of the members. The rest were still at the party. It was one o'clock at night.

She called Maverick.

Jessica: When will you all return?

Mark: Umm.. after an hour or maybe two

Jessica: Mark, can I share the room with Mia?

Mark: Yeah sure. I think Mia's on the way. Her condition is worse.

Jessica: Why what happened?

Just then the doorbell rang.

She hung up and ran down the stairs. Daniel opened the door by the time Jessica reached.

Mia was heavily drunk.

Jessica: Gosh! Dan, I'll take her. You can go and rest now. You need it

Daniel smiled and nodded.

Mia: I can go

She freed herself from Jessica's clutches and climbed up the stairs.
Jessica went to her room after a minute and saw Mia laying on the bed, without changing her clothes. Jessica went to Mia and saw her in a drunken condition and chuckled.

Jessica: Mia

Mia murmured something to herself. All Jessica could understand was 'Albus'.

Jessica: Mia, wake up. You need to change and freshen up

Mia: Albus... I fvcking love him! I want him to be the father of my babies!

Jessica somehow controlled her laugh. She brought a glass of water and sprinkled it on Mia's face.

Mia: What are you doing?

Jessica: Wake up!

Mia somehow sat up with the help of her elbows and stared at Jessica with narrow eyes. She looked like a baby.

Jessica: You need to change Mia

Mia: Hmm

She looked at Jessica with her arms open. Jessica pulled her out of the bed and led her to the bathroom.

After a few minutes, Mia came back wearing a towel.

Mia: Did I make a scene? At the party?

Jessica: I don't know anything about the party but you said something here...

Mia: What?

Jessica: Confessed your love and you want to fvck Albus

Mia's eyes widened. She blushed and her face looked bright red even in the dim light

Mia: What the - FVCK! Did anyone else hear this?

Jessica: Nope. Don't worry, your dirty little secret's safe with me (winks). I'm waiting outside. Today I'll sleep with you.

Jessica went out smiling. Ryan's thing kept bugging her...

So... Ryan's working for the enemy...
DDIA, after TITANS, is an obstacle to Born Killers...

Jessica didn't know what to do...
She went to Maverick's room. Daniel was in his room, Mia was also in hers. Jessica locked the door and began searching.

Maybe she can find something worth knowing...

She searched the drawers, and as she had guessed, there was nothing important. She opened the wardrobe and searched every hook and corner. There was a keyhole at one of the corners, which was well hidden. She pulled out a hairpin from her hair and tried opening the lock. After a few tries, it opened.

Agent tactics you know...

There was a deep hole kind of thing behind the lock. She switched the flash off her mobile on. The hole was quite deep and he found some papers. As much as her hand could get in, she grabbed the papers and took her out.

Jessica: I need to take pictures of these.

Suddenly she received a phone call. She received it.

Ryan: Where are you?

Jessica: Mark's room...

Ryan: Get outta there. He just went out.

Jessica: Okay

She hung up and saw the papers carefully. Some were about the plans which they had executed, and some were related to weapons.

Jessica: Why would he keep things like this hidden from the members?

She clicked photos of those papers. There were two pictures of two different girls. Both looked like they were around five years old.

She noticed the picture of a girl. Her hair was tied into two braids with a boy beside her and a man and a woman behind the children. The boy was two or three years older than the girl.

Jessica's eyes widened on seeing the girl. She took the other picture. Her mother and father probably were beside her. She was encircled with a red mark.

Jessica looked at the previous one, unable to believe her eyes...

"Kahlon...?"
