Tolie gasped, “You know my FATHER? How?!”
“Your father and I were once great friends, until we disagreed on some very important matters.” Oncle said, “We used to be in a club, it was quite silly. It was called the “Make the World Better Club” or MWBC. One day your father and I were discussing and we came to a subject where we drastically disagreed. I believed that we all need to change, and the only way to do that properly is to make examples and show all the best way to live. You do this by seeing who disagrees with you, then to spy, pretend to be someone else and getting information. Your father disagreed said we should live the right way and let others know. That wouldn’t work, at least, not quickly, so we became enemies. A while afterward I targeted your dad. I told him I had changed and in one way or another, he told me about you. Said he had watched you and saw your talent.”
“I do remember when someone strange came.” Tolie admitted,
“You weren’t supposed to know, I suppose you sneaked.”
“Probably” Tolie said reluctantly, “Though that’s not that impressive,”
“Oh don’t be so sure, I was watching to see if you would come out. I just assumed you didn’t come down. I had no idea you saw me. And I, not meaning to brag, am one of the best spy’s in the country, so that is saying something.” Oncle said, he paused, “Pretend I didn’t say that.”
“Now please let me go home to my family, I need them.”
“No. I am going to assign you a mission. If you don’t do your very best there will be consequences.”
“Like what?” Tolie asked curious,
“A very unpleasant death will await you.”
“Oh, How terrible. Glad it’s not the thing that is in my head though.”
“What! What would be more horrible than a terrible death?! Tell me!”
“NO! Why would I do that!”
“BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO!” Oncle yelled,
“Fine.” Tolie said defeated, “I will tell you if you tell me what my mission is.”
“Deal. Your mission is to infiltrate an estate and steal from one of the Kings Senators.”
“That’s a heavy mission to assign an untrained fifteen year old girl!” Tolie was shocked, “Now for my end of the deal which I suppose I agreed to-“
“You did indeed!”
“As I was saying, I made a deal and I intent to keep it. Here we go,” Tolie took deep breath, “I am immensely afraid of puppies.”
“Aha! Your secret weakness is known to me now, It’s too late now, Tolie, no going back now!”
Tolie swelled with happiness, she loved puppies. She would get to see them and avoid a gruesome death. Best day ever! Well, not really, considering… “I don’t want to think about it .” Tolie thought to herself, it was too painful.
The next morning was a rush of getting ready for the mission. Oncle sat at an old dinning table waiting for her. He had told her to get ready as fast as possible and to come to the meeting house when she was done. There he would give her more information and more time to pack other things she would need. “Welcome Tolie,” “Hi,” She asserted in a dry voice, “So… what do I do?” “Your first mission is to go to the estate of Senator MonColene, who is planning his revenge on Noblemen Lothlosten for his trick, which made MonColene look like a fool to the king. You are to steal the plans and weapons which he is devising to use at the kings banquet this evening then kidnap his daughter.” “Kidnap?! That’s crazy!” Tolie sighed “What do the weapons and plans look like, and where do I find them.?” “The weapons will be found under a stone in the dungeon floor. As for the plans, I am not sure.” “What?!” Tolie exclaimed, “You expect me to sneak into a Senators manor and steal weapons found below the dungeon and search the same house without getting caught, and find the plans that are probably hidden very well to stop this exact behavior?! And above all that kidnap the senators daughter!” “Yes,” Oncle said calmly, “and the Blue Spruce knows you will accomplish it without much difficulty.” “Will not!” Tolie said, how could he know all she could do? Did he have spies? Probably, “You are not going to force me to do this!” “Oh, but I can,” Tolie needed to keep the puppy cover, she would have to do it. She stiffened up, pretending to think about the deadly animal known as a puppy. “Right, what do I need to pack.” “The job should be done before dark, so just a few gadgets and gizmos our techie friend has made for the job. Right this way.” “what kind of gizmos will I be using?” “the usual, grapple gun, smoke bombs, taser, lasso gun, and a laser gun,” “Wow that’s a lot of interesting things that you don’t use very often.” “Sure is.” Oncle replied, leading her down a black painted hallway, “we’re almost here and then you can get your supplies and be on your way.” “How will I get there?” “We will drive you a few blocks away, you will sneak in and pretty much everyone should be preoccupied because he will be starting the banquet, you are going now and not earlier because we don’t want to give him time to come up with a new plan.” “How will I sneak in?” “You will be disguised as a guest, after the guards let you in you will sneak down to the dungeon to get the weapons and then up and around to get the plans.” Oncle said as he opened an old wooden door, “Welcome to the gadget room,” Tolie gasped, “How…” the room was filled with al sorts of wires, parts, and tech, “We are lucky to have a talented engineer such as Dola,” “You’re too kind,” said a strong adventurous looking girl said from a corner of there room. She blended in so well Tolie hadn’t see’n her there, “Ready to get your things?
