Being a leader
The tension in the room could be cut by scissors. Ash looked at Jay and swallowed. They were so done for, she stole a glance at Jazzy and Nick, Jazzy was equally nervous, yet Nick acted as if nothing was wrong and Ash envied her. If she could get rid of her nervousness it would be the best thing.
The call that Nick had received was from Jay. Somehow, Jay always knew where they were despite how hard they cover their tracks. It was like she put a tracker inside them. And this time, it was bad because she knew who they were with.
Ash
*clears her throat😅* Ah, Jay. We were there for work, and we just seemed to stumble into them, and we thought we could hang with them for a bit, and maybe we could get something from them, you know…
Nick
*indifferent* I suggested we leave.
Ash
*roll eyes* No you did not.
Jazzy
Guys, that's not helping.
Jazzy looked at Jay, her expression was unreadable, and she sat on the couch her hand tapping on its arm. The way her leg was on top of the other always meant trouble. It was not hard for them to know when Jay was angry, even in her black silk pajamas the girls could see a pissed off leader.
Jay
😒 Do you know what pisses me off the most?
Jay
Cleaning up someone else's mess....
Nick
*exchanges a look with Sam* What is she talking about?
Sam
*shrugs* We received a bleach warning.
Nick
How come it didn't reach me?
Sam
Your computer was blocked from receiving any warnings.
Ash
*guilty* Was it the nerdy boy at the bar?
Nick
*clenches her fist* Leon Rodwell.
Sam
He tried to hack into your computer to see what you were working on, that was when Jay noticed that you were not here, because the warning went directly to her since it received no response from the server, which you were supposed to be in charge of.
Nick
*eyes closed* Did he get anything?
Jay
❄❄Do you think you would have been breathing if he had?
Jay
*grinds her teeth* And how good was that sorry going to work for us if anything happened.
Jazzy
Jay, please. It's my fault, am the one who forced her to go out.
Jay
*stands up* I don't give a rat's ass whose fault it is.
Jay
If you can't do your job well know that you'll be responsible for the consequences.
Jay
And need I not remind you what the consequences for a failed mission is.
Jay
*breathes* This is an important mission, socializing with the enemy is not a smart idea no matter what theory you have. We will stick to the plan, no added paths or strategies.
Jay walked to the door and stopped. Her eyes wandered to the knob before sighing. She hated being this kind of person, but being a leader under Sparks was not an easy thing. She went through so much to keep things going, which meant she had a huge responsibility to make sure that her mates did their job well.
Jay
Get some sleep, we have a lot to do tomorrow. *opens the door and leaves*
Nick
*sighs and looks down*
Sam
*sits next to Nick and pats her back* Hey, chill.
Sam
Don't be upset with her, you know she can't help but be angry, that's how she is.
Nick
*still looking down* I know, actually am not angry with her.
Nick
It's me that am mad at.
Nick
If only I had done my job well.
Jazzy
*rubs her hands* It's my fault actually, it was me who dragged you there.
Sam
Jay is just under a lot of pressure. Sparks has given her strict orders, and you know what that means....
Ash
Anything that happens, she will be responsible. *sighs*
Sam
*nods* Me too, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Sam
We can just try and do things accordingly to plan, and not mess up.
Jazzy
*stands up* Alright, I should go and finish building the profile for our new characters.
Sam
*clears her throat* Jay already did that.
Sam
When she noticed the bleach and as suspected, your nerdy boy did look into Emer's profile. *eyes Jazzy*
Jazzy
*side glance at Nick* Nick.
Sam
*raises eyebrows* Ah! No wonder Jay was upset.
Nick
She couldn't possibly know it was me, Jazzy was not done with the profiling.
Jazzy
*smiles guilty* I had a draft stored in my laptop, she must have found it.
Sam
But why did he only look for Emer?
Jazzy
*scratches her head* Well....
Ash
*clears throat* Let's just say someone has an admirer
Ash
*shakes head* the third one
Sam
*hands up* Okay, Jay should not hear a word about this.
Due to the manner of their job, Sparks had a no dating strict rule that forbade each one of their agents from having an intimate partner. And being the leader, again Jay was strict on it which meant any rumour of interaction with a man amongst them set her ablaze.
Sam
We will do the rest tomorrow.
Sam
*looks at Nick* Hey, you okay?
Nick
*massage her temple* I feel bad for Jay.
Jazzy
Why don't we surprise her with a wake up call tomorrow?
Nick
*smiles* Alright. Let's do that.
Jay clenched her jaw as she tried to keep calm. She had been there a couple of times, and each time she loathed the people who sat in front of her. Despite the dark, she could still make out their silhouette and it irritated her that she could hear their voices every time they summoned her, yet she could not see their faces.
Jay
They have no personal connection with those men. We are all aware they are the enemies. My girls were just doing their job.
Holme
(deep voice) Can you verify that?
Holme
(raised) Because the CCTV in that bar shows three of your subordinates associating with criminals...
Jay
They are suspects. Until we detain them with the right evidence, then can we tell that they are criminals.
Jay
*sighs* I don't need verification because they came to me before they went.
Gwen
*authoritative tone* Then you're conspiring with them.
Jay
*clenched jaw* How many times do I have to tell you that there is no relationship between them with those men?
Gwen
It's not a matter of whether there is a relationship now, you are well aware of the rules and to make matters worse, these are the men you've been chasing for two years.....
Gwen
*suspicious* The higher up are beginning to think that there is some sort of hidden agenda to the reason why you haven't captured them yet.
Gwen
It takes you a short time to capture an international serial killer but fail to capture petty antique thieves that live right under your noses.....you want us to believe that there is nothing to this
Jay
(stay calm, Jessica....don't mess It up. it might be the end if you)
Jay
*Calmly* We've gathered evidence, very solid and justified evidence. But every time we bring it to the right people, we are denied.
Jay
What else do you expect us to do?
Holme
Capture them on the act.
Jay
That's not an easy thing to do
Gwen
Then you're not qualified to be an agent for Sparks.
Jay
*pissed* Then I dare you to put any of your agents on this job and let's see if you will succeed.
Holme
How dare you speak to your elders with such tone?
Jay
If you don't respect my team, don't expect me to respect you back. We work so hard to fulfill what you deem simple, yet we sweat and fall into danger day and night.
Jay
If you don't trust my team to do it, then find another team to do it.
Gwen
*angrily* I cannot stand this child's behavior, she's rude.
Drake
*calm note* Calm down, Gwen.
Drake
Jay is our best agent, she was chosen by the Supreme himself.
Drake
Don't tell me you don't trust the Supreme?
Gwen
*nervous* Of....course I do.
Gwen
I just think it would be best if she knew how to respect her elders
Drake
*looks at Jay* Miss Danvers, we cannot give this mission to anyone else...
Drake
....because the order came from above us.
Drake
However, due to some trust issues that are beginning to arise due to your actions....we are going to give you a condition...
Jay
*sighs* I don't work with conditions
Drake
*puts a finger to his lips* Shh! child.
Drake
You're taking this mission, on one condition.
Drake
If the brothers strike again, and you don't capture them, you will be responsible for Mr Jones loss.....that is to say, you must prepare billions of money just in case you fail the mission once again.
Jay
*grinds teeth*Those are not the rules.
Drake
*wicked smirk* It's either that, or I'll make a call to the Supreme and tell them about your subordinates association with the....suspects.
Jay
My friends are not associating with the suspects, that was a coincidental encounter.
Drake
The Supreme does not know that *smirk* does he?
Jay
Wait are you threatening me?
Gwen
Foolish child, just make the choice.....your friends or your riches....
Jay
*clenched fists* Neither of them.
Jay
I'll capture the brothers and this is my condition....if I capture them, all three of you shall bow down and kiss my feet.
Drake
*chuckles* prepare your knees and your mouth.
