The Start of Pretense

"It's over, you two. You're covers' have been blown. You're probably the worst agents I've ever encountered.", the big bald man said to the pair, laughing maniacally afterwards.

"Yeah, I know, but could you please lay down on your laughing? You're breath really stinks.", the dark brown-headed male spy retorted.

"If we're gonna die, the least we would want is your disgusting saliva all over our cold corpses.", added the hazel-haired female agent.

They both earned a glare from the huge man infront of them. He got out his gun and pointed it at the dark brown-haired agent.

"You actually think this is the time to kid around with your only hope of surviving? I guess you're forgetting who's at the upper hand here.", he said to both of them, smiling wickedly.

"I think it's the other way around.", the woman replied, and out of nowhere, a truck came smashing in the warehouse they were currently in, making wood and metal fly everywhere.

"Freeze! Put your hands on your head and get on the ground!", yelled 20 armed police officers as they tackled the man and kicked the gun of of his reach.

"Oh, f**k.", the bald lad cussed. Two officers cuffed him and led him away from the scene and into their vehicle.

"Congratulations, you two. You've done it yet again.", Chief Adrian Smith, the head of the intelligence agency, praised the pair. The two spies smiled and shook the hand of their senior.

"Thanks to my research and persistence on our lead, we managed to catch him, sir.", the woman added, earning a scoff from her partner.

"Well, that may be correct, but I can I just say that if it weren't for my physical abilities and strategic movements, that man wouldn't be in your car right now.", he added.

"Yeah, but you wouldn't have caught the right guy if it weren't for MY research and intel."

"I'm pretty sure I can. I'm an agent, too, so I think-"

"Oh my goodness, would you two just shut up! You're both important in every mission, that's why we put you two together in the first place!", the chief stated, and the pair just glared at each other.

"Okay, now. You two aren't gonna be on vacay just yet.", he added.

"But, sir, if I may-"

"No, you may not, Depp! Zip it!" And with that, the agent bowed his head.

"Now, there is a new mission assigned for the both of you. Here is the case file." He handed a folder to each of them, which they studied immediately.

"Another bombing? What is this, a terrorist attack?", the woman asked, reading one page after the other.

"Apparently, it isn't executed by a terrorist group. Reports circulate that a certain Dr. Pernham, a chemist and physicist, is behind all these bombings. What really bothers us is that he only plants them near schools and orphanages.", the chief stated the facts as the pair scanned the file.

"But, if this was a bombing, why aren't there any casualties? Especially since this took place a few inches only from the said places.", Agent Johnson said.

"No child has died, thank the Lord. But what really disturbs us is the gas being released by the bomb. It's light blue in color, which is really odd."

"What, is he like mad at kids or something?", Agent Depp asked.

"We have reason to believe that. The reason behind THAT and what's in the smoke, those we do not know.", Chief Smith said.

"So, what are we posing as in this mission?", the woman inquired, earning a glare from her partner.

"Glad you asked. You'll be posing as siblings, and living with two beautiful children, a niece and nephew, both 12 years of age. Our twin agents from the junior department, Sarah and Sam, will pose as the children you'll be living with. You, Depp, are an intern at Dr. Pernham's research center. You, Johnson, are a preschool teacher at the local preschool and gradeschool, where the latest bombing happened, about 4 days ago.", Chief Smith said, handing them their IDs.

"Wait- we're gonna be siblings this time?", they both asked. The chief raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, why? It's nothing similar to being boyfriend-girlfriend, like what you've done in past missions. So, you should be fine with that.", he said nonchalantly.

"But it means we actually have to live under the same roof.", Agent Johnson mused.

"And is there any problem with that? If there is, I am willing to hand over this case to someone else-"

"No, no sir! Don't listen to her! She's just being difficult, as always.", Agent Depp cut him off, and was later punched in the arm by the woman.

"Alright, then. Head back to the office to claim your gadgets and you're good to go.", Chief Smith said with a smile and turned his back on the couple.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm gonna be fake siblings with you.", the woman muttered to the man beside her as they walked to their car.

"Pfft, the feeling is mutual, my darling. I can't wait for this mission to be over already!", he said, fake enthusiasm evident in his voice.

"Oh and just know, if you ever try to tease me, I'll punch you in the balls and throw you out of the house, you hear me?"

"Wouldn't even try."
