Chapter 5: Already?

Here's where the story starts to pick up a little.

February 4th

Ben's POV:
We'd hung out pretty much all day, just relaxing.

I was excited and thought we'd finally gotten a full week and some off from all the missions.

*Sigh* I was wrong.

We'd been laying on the couch watching tv again when it happened.

We heard a ding.

Both our phones buzzed.

I rolled my eyes.

I winced as I checked my phone.

The most recent message read:
Cyrus to Catherine, Alexander, Mike, Zoe, and two others
Come see me. You know where to go. Vacation's over.

"Already!?!" I groaned.

"Guess so. Let's go."

"But what about the baby? You sure it'll be safe to go with? Maybe you should just sit this one out?"

"It'll be fine Ben. It's only been like a month and a half ish or whatever."

"But it could mess your senses up."

"Ben I'm the like best spy in the CIA. I think I'll be okay."

"Fine, you can come with. BUT, if at any point I find it to be unsafe, I'm telling Cyrus to pull you off the mission."

"Beeen!" She whined.

"Am I clear?"

"Fine. But we should really be going."

"Alright, I'll drive."

I grabbed the keys and jogged to the car. She got in and we sped off to the CIA headquarters where Cyrus would be waiting.

We parked and headed inside to the conference room we usually used for briefings.

Cyrus was waiting there along with Catherine. Zoe and Mike walked in just as we sat down.

"Okay, Now that you're all here, let's- wait. Where's my son?" He said annoyedly.

"I tried to wake him, but he wouldn't budge." Catherine shrugged.

"Of course he didn't. Well, I suppose we'll have to go without him. Okay so, back to business." He said gruffly.

He turned to the screen and clicked it on with his remote. A tall skinny man with brown hair and grey streaks wearing a suit appeared on the screen.

"This is Jeffrey Williamson. He is the owner of multiple mines in Canada. We have a strong feeling, by looking through his bank statements, that he's involved with some fishy stuff."

"Spyder's not back right?" I asked carefully.

"I don't believe so, but there is a possibility. We dealt a huge blow to them last time. But I suppose it is possible after all these years they're making a slight comeback. But they'd have to be much smaller than before. Honestly I hope it is them. They'd be a lot easier to deal with than who we really think it is."

"Who?"

"Crush."

"Isn't that one of the ones Murray mentioned when we were in Britain?" Mike asked.

"I believe it is." Catherine answered.

"Anyhow, we will fly to Thompson, Manitoba. We're staying in a Best Western."

"Ooh those are actually pretty nice." Zoe smiled.

"It's one of the most dangerous cities in Canada, which is usually pretty safe. So yeah, we decided it would be okay to splurge a smidge and go to a nicer and safer hotel. I mean sure it's still Canada and we're spies, but we also have a little bit of a higher budget considering we're the best team in the CIA currently, even though Chip and Jawa and the others won't be needed on this mission unless we need a rescue, we're still the best. And back to Thompson, we figure they have to be associated with it somehow."

"And you say associated because it's too obvious for them to actually build their main base there." I finished.

He nodded.

"What are our covers?" Zoe asked.

"Ben and Mike will be getting close to his daughters. Meet Charlotte and Sofia Williamson."

He clicked the remote again and a beautiful girl appeared on the screen. She had golden blonde hair and the other a sandy brown.

"Why not me?" Zoe added.

"Yeah. Or me? Zoe I could try to be friends with Charlotte and Sofia." Erica finished.

"Because you both have your own jobs. Erica will be getting close to his oldest son. Meet Oliver Williamson."

He clicked again and a very handsome boy appeared next to his sisters. He was very tan and had hair a lot like mine.

I felt myself grow jealous already. I did not like the thought of him and Erica at all. But I'd have to suck it up and hope for the best.

"He looks a lot like Ben." Zoe noted.

Cyrus looked from the image to me and back to the image. I saw his face light up a little as he hatched a new plan.

"Scratch that. Ben will infiltrate the house as Oliver's "long lost twin." That will get us a man inside the house. And it won't raise suspicion by him trying to get close to one of their daughters. And it might shade Mike's move on Charlotte a little and put that out of focus."

I liked this plan much more.

"But they'll do a DNA test, right? How do we change my DNA?"

He groaned.

"Oh... we just fudge the results."

He nodded.

"Okay, so what do I do then?" Erica asked.

"Yeah or me?" Zoe added.

"Erica will be Ben's girlfriend. If we get him in the clear, we could get her in pretty easily too."

I smiled at this.

"Mike will try to get close to Charlotte, and Zoe will try to get close to Sofia. He'll do what he needs to. Zoe will become her best friend. But we have to stagger it a little. If 4 people come into his kids' lives just like that he's going to be very suspicious." He said with a snap on that.

"Mike should go first. No dad likes a boy coming into his daughters' lives so then when I come in, he'll forget all about that and be focused on his newfound son."

"Alright. That makes sense."

"When do we leave?" I asked.

"Tomorrow at 3 am."

"Okay so we'll arrive at the hotel like 6-ish." It wasn't a question. Everyone knew I was right. Level 16 math does that for you. "Okay, how long do we have to infiltrate them?"

"We aren't sure yet. A minimum of a month and a half, max of 2 months I'd say."

"Alright Saturday, Mike will go start making his move on Charlotte. On Tuesday, Erica and I'll bump into Oliver and start drawing attention away from Mike. Then he can move in easier. Then Zoe can start to be friends with Sofia kinda whenever because I'll be the main focus, Mike being second. But she'd probably be best to do it towards the end of next week or beginning of the next at the... latest." I trailed off.

Everyone was looking at me.

"Uh I mean-"

"Then that's what we do." Catherine smiled reassuringly.

"Ben, you should lead this one." Cyrus nodded. "You clearly know how to work it, and I'll be the backup along with Catherine and my son, if he ever wakes up."

I froze. "Me?"

"Yeah, you just came up with a solid plan to get more information. And then you'll solve what their plan is and how to stop it too. Plus, you've done it before. What's different about this time?" Mike pointed out.

"Okay, I'll try. I'm gonna need more information though. Where do they live, work, hang out, everything?"

"Alright, here's what we got."

After a couple hours, we knew everything we could possibly need about the entire family and their surroundings.

I hoped this mission would go smoothly, unlike all the others.

If only I knew how wrong I was.

Hope you enjoyed!
