ZEPHYR:"Ugh. Just let me go. I'll escape as always." They knew that it would take me just some time to get out of this interrogation room. I always get out. "Not this time. FBI itself decided to interrogate you. Agent Roberts will interrogate." I rolled my eyes. A really hot guy entered the room. He had chestnut brown hair lighter than my own hair and also attractive green eyes. His face was beautifully sculpted but it was dominated by a frown. I don't wanna be here. Neither do you. Just let me go. "Name?" "Do I have to answer?" He leaned against the table; showing off his muscular chest. "Unless you want us to trace your parents' phone number and find out what it is." "The guys outside know my name." "So you have all these names: Bella, Taylor, Peyton, Hayley, Ruby, Cara, Roxanna." "My parents call me by a lot of names." He hooks a finger under my chin and forces me to look up. I gritted my teeth. "Tell me." There was a knock at the door. "We traced her parents." "No! I'll tell you." "Too late. Put her in the car." Fear froze my heart. "No! I'll tell you!" I screamed. One of the officers lifted me and put me in the police car. I hurled obscenities at no one in particular. "Someone should wash your mouth with olive oil." Agent Roberts sits down next to me. "Please! Don't take me to my parents. They don't know about all of this!" His face didn't show any flicker of emotion. It was cold as ever. "You need to be taught once and for all." It was a 20 minute drive home. I didn't dare to cry. Not in front of the officers. I'm not weak. My parents rushed outside. Mom's beautiful face was etched with worry. "Z? Why are you in a police car? Do you realize how worried we were? It's so late. Did you get hurt?" Mom checked my face for injuries. I still had that bruise from where the officer had hit me. "You're hurt!" "Mom, I'm fine." "Fine? You're grounded, young lady!" My Dad spoke up for the first time. Agent Roberts came forward. "Hello. I'm Agent Jadon Roberts. FBI." "FBI!?" "Your daughter right here - What's her name?" "Zephyr." "Zephyr." He said the name carefully. "She might be a normal student during school, but after school..." He glances at me. "I think I would like to have a talk with you alone." "Z, to your room." "Okay." I grumbled. I opened the door to my room and shut it audibly.

JADE: "Your daughter is into illegal stealth fights. She is one of the most feared fighters. Since these fights are illegal, we're trying to shut them down. But they just run off before we catch them. Your daughter has been captured before but she always escaped." Both her parents gasped. "But why would she do this?" I shrugged. "Money?" "You won't arrest our daughter, Agent?" "Actually, no. She's just brainwashed. You're a therapist, Mrs. Banks?" She nodded her head. "Please look to it." She gave a small nod. "Thank you, Agent Roberts. We are really grateful." "I did nothing. Just keep check on what your daughter does during the day." "Oh, we will." I felt kind of guilty because the look that they gave told that they might never leave Zephyr out of the house. Hmm, it's a nice name. I like the way my tongue rolls when I speak her name. "I should get going." "Farewell, Agent Roberts." I walked to the car and sank down in the seat. Finally, my day is over.

ZEPHYR: The way my parents came running up the stairs, I knew I was in trouble. "Stealth fights!? What does that even mean?" "Mom, calm down." "I won't. Not this time, Zephyr." Boy, I'm in great trouble. She only calls me by my full name only when she's angry. "Peanut, maybe you should calm down. Let's discuss this." The way Dad called Mom as Peanut was really cute. I knew that now Mom would calm down. She took a deep breath and calmed down. "Fine. Tell us what you used to do after school." "Okay. About 3 months ago, I met a girl named Jen. She was into stealth fighting. I learnt how to shoot guns and fight. I became so good at it that people started to be scared of me. We went into some fighting arenas for fun and to gain some money. Well, it was illegal and we got caught many times, but always escaped. So I've been on the number one rank in the police hit list. They decided to involve FBI this time." Mom let out a shuddering breath. "Now now, Cassie..." "Axel. Please go out. I want to talk to Z privately." Dad opened his mouth but then closed it again looking at Mom's expression. "I should go." He shot me a look of concern and walked outside. I'm dead meat now. Instead of screaming her head off, Mom came towards me and hugged me. "I know teenage can be hard. I had a rough time myself. Look, I'm letting you go for now. You're grounded for a few weeks. I want you home when your school gets over." "Fine." "No stealth fights." "Okay."

JADE: "I have a new job for you." My boss handed me a file. "Undercover cop? That's not my style." "You need a partner." "I can do it on my own." "I'm giving you a partner. Zephyr Banks." I gasped. "That brat? She's 18." "So what? She knows how to use a gun. Stealth fights definitely made her tough." "No. There are lots of trained agents around. I don't want a rookie." "You can call her whatever you want but rookie is not one of them." "I..." "I'll fire your sorry ass if you have a problem." "Everything's great. But, why her?" "She looks more normal than you.  At least she can smile." I gritted my teeth and sighed. "Brief her tomorrow. Go home now." "Aye Aye, sir." Nay sir.
