{George}
After getting off of bedrest I was called into Elder Lewis's office and I was surprised to see a couple of other Agents there as well. Eve, Charlotte, Agent 003, and two other agents that I didn't recognize were there.
Eve looked at the two Agents that I didn't recognize and smiled. But she didn't get a chance to say anything when Elder Lewis cleared his throat. "Alright, I'm pretty sure you're wondering why you're here today. Recently, Uncle 42 has been doing some testing to see if he could add Stunning Abilities to an Agent's genetics and it's been successful so far. You six have been chosen because you've been the successful cases of developing Stunning Abilities. And of course I will be your new Boss. Don't worry you'll still be in your original congregations.” He continued, "I think it would be best for you guys to introduce yourselves. You are going to be working with each other after all."
He pointed at Agent 003 and motioned for him to go first.
"My name is Jacob and my Agent ID is Agent 003," Agent 003 said.
Eve rolled her eyes. "Of course a double agent would be a part of a team of Super Agents!"
Elder Lewis gave Eve an amused look and said, "Well since you've volunteered why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Okay then. My name is Evelyn but since we're going to be working together you guys can call me Eve and my Agent ID is Agent 36," Eve said.
One of the other Agents that I didn't know went next. He was a young man and looked like he was about my age. He smiled and said, "My name is Evan and my Agent ID is Agent 60."
The other Agent that I didn't recognize went next. "My name is Daisy and my Agent ID is Agent 47."
Charlotte went next. "My name is Charlotte and my Agent ID is Agent 54."
I was the last one to go. "My name is George and my Agent ID is Agent 722."
"Yeah about that," Elder Lewis said. "The Council has agreed to change your Agent ID."
I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"They decided that they don't want an Agent with three digits to their Agent ID unless they're a double Agent on a team of Super Agent's," Elder Lewis said.
"Well that's stupid! George is a new Agent! Why-" Eve started.
Elder Lewis glared at Eve. "Hold your tongue Agent 36." He turned his attention back to me. "Now as I was saying, George, your new Agent ID is Agent 72. We don't have an Agent 72 yet so there you go."
"Agent 72 huh?" I said.
Elder Lewis nodded. "Yup."
"Agent 72… That's going to take some getting used to," I said.
Charlotte rolled her eyes. "It's not that bad. It's just 722 with the extra 2 chopped off."
Eve snorted. "Well that's one way to look at it."
"So, what's our first mission going to be?" Charlotte asked.
Elder Lewis chuckled. "Let's get down to business then. Your missions will mostly be assassination missions. You'll be brought in to take down the top priority missions. The big targets so to speak. Your first target is this guy."
He pulled out a file from under his desk. The guy in the picture looked like he was in his mid thirties. He had tan skin and a black beard, he wore a purple dress suit and black dress shoes. He also had a small sliver crown on his head.
"Is he royalty?" Charlotte asked.
Elder Lewis gave her a pointed look and said with sarcasm, "No, he just wears the crown as a fashion statement."
Eve, Evan, Daisy and Jacob covered their mouths to stifle a laugh.
Elder Lewis rolled his eyes. "Anyway, this mission isn't an assassination mission, it's a kidnapping mission."
"Hey but you said-" Charlotte started.
Elder Lewis glared at her. "Hold your tongue Agent 54. I know what I said so let me be more clear: 85% of your missions will be assassination missions and the rest will be kidnapping missions or missions to deescalate a situation such as a hostage situation without having to call in the SWAT team."
I could tell Charlotte wanted to say something about the hostage missions but she made the wise choice to keep her mouth shut.
"So you'll meet up with the Double Agents and they should be able to have already tracked this guy down. And before I forget, I need to give you guys these…" Elder Lewis said. He brought a handful of watches and they just looked like a regular digital watch that you would buy at the store. The watches had a black band with a black face that had the digital numbers on it. He handed each of us a watch. "These watches will teleport you back to headquarters after you've finished a mission. It can also send up a SOS if need be. But I have a feeling you won't have much trouble with your missions anyway."
Eve, Jacob, Charlotte, Daisy, Evan and I took a watch the Elder Lewis handed to us.
"Oh and before you guys leave this team needs a leader. True I'm your boss and all, but when you're out missions as a team like this someone should be making sure that the mission is completed," Elder Lewis said. "The leader for this team will be Agent 36."
Eve's eyes went wide. "Me? Why me? I'm not a leader."
"Because you're the best of the best," Elder Lewis said.
"At following orders! Not leading!" Eve said.
"You've excelled at every job you've ever had within the Organization and you'll excel at this too," Elder Lewis said.
Her jaw dropped. "You're kidding right? Please tell me you're kidding."
"Do I look like the type of boss who would joke around with their subordinates?" Elder Lewis said with an annoyed tone of voice.
Eve opened her mouth and then shut it. Elder Lewis nodded. "Good now that that's been taken care of you guys are dismissed to start your mission."
With that we left the room.

I sighed as I sat down on the couch in my room after a long day of work. It was in the evening and Zoey had already been put to bed. I had checked Eve's microchip and it showed that she was out on a mission that would take at least a week to do. I missed her so much even though I knew she'd be coming home.
My cell phone rang and I rolled my eyes when I saw it was my best friend John calling me. "Hello?"
"Hey Levi! What's up? I haven't heard from you in a while!" John said.
I groaned. "I'm fine. I've been busy with work and my family."
"That's good. So how's married life treating you?" John asked.
"Oh it's great and it would be even better if Eve wasn't out on a job most of the time," I said. "But that's just how her line of work is."
"Hey, why don't you and I go out for some drinks? When's the last time you had some fun? I'm sure your parents wouldn't mind watching the kid," John said.
I checked the time it was 10pm and Zoey was in bed. There was no way that I was going to leave my kid just so I could have some fun. I sighed, "First of all, it's late and my daughter's already asleep. Second, I'm not going to a bar or a strip club and get involved in a scandal that's not going to be true. I will never ever cheat on my wife. No thank you."
"You seriously think that I would do that to you? Wow, that's unbelievable!" John said. "All I'm saying is that we haven't hung out in a long time-"
"Well maybe we could do it this weekend while my daughter is awake and my parents are watching her? No bars and no strip clubs!" I said.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
"I told you I'm not-" John said.
"Uh-huh I know how you are and I know what your idea of fun is," I snapped.
"Okay fine," John said. "How about I bring the drinks to you? And I will not bring any stripers with me. You have my word on that. You know that old saying, bros before hoes? I'll stick to that."
I snorted. "It's more like I put my family and marriage before homewreckers."
John chuckled. "Man, all work and no play makes Levi a dull man! Okay, I'm coming over! Actually, I'm already here!"
Right on cue the doorbell rang and my butler answered the door. I went downstairs just to see John stroll into the house as if he lived here. Before I got married I would've shrugged this type of intrusion off but now I realize that I'm going to have to nip this habit in the butt.
I sighed and sat down on the couch. John took a seat next to me and handed me a beer. "Seriously John, am I going to have to put my foot down and set some boundaries as to when you can come over and when you can't? Because I certainly don't want you barging in here when Eve's home."
John rolled his eyes. "Don't worry it won't be a regular thing. Gee if getting married turns me into a grumpy old man like you then no thank you. I'm good with being free and doing whatever I want."
"Of course, the last time you visited was in three months and you still stay the same. And by the way my maids are not to be gawked at. They're here to work, not for you to get laid," I said.
"Alright, alright I'll leave the maids alone. Geez you're strict," John said.
"Well ever since the Head Maid told me about you sexually harassing my maids yeah I have to be protective of my workers," I said.
John changed the subject. "Well, judging by how grumpy you are, Mrs. Evelyn is out on a job isn't she?"
I nodded. "Yup and apparently, it's going to take a week."
John whistled and then paused. "Wait, how do you know that?"
"I have a microchip on her that keeps track of where she is," I said.
John's jaw dropped. "Does Mrs. Evelyn know about this?"
"From what I know of she does know. If her boss gives her an order she follows it," I said. "Plus she's very considerate about my feelings on things."
"Is there ever a time that she can disobey an order?" John asked.
"She can disobey an order but she'll get disciplined for it if she does," I said.
John frowned. "What type of discipline?"
I deadpanned, "You don't want to know."
"Yikes and George being the idiot that he is, decided to enlist," John said shaking his head in dismay.
"Yeah I know…" I said. "But he's doing what he wants to do and nothing's going to stop him. Not even Dad can stop him!"
John shrugged. "Yeah well that's how it goes. Here's another beer."
I realized that my beer was empty. "Okay but this is the last one. I gotta get to bed. You can stay in one of the guest rooms or go to a hotel for the night."
"Grumpy old man," John grumbled.
I laughed, "Yes, that's what happens when you get married and have a family. I'm sure you'll understand one day."
John shook his head. "As I said before, nope. I'm not going to be tied down anytime soon. No thank you."
I finished my beer and stood up. "I'm turning for the night. My butler will show you to your guest room unless you want to go to a nearby hotel?"
"I'll go to a hotel," John said.
I noticed that he said that rather begrudgingly. That's just how John is. He likes to stir up trouble and then gets mad when you put your foot down. I know for sure that I will not tolerate him sexually harassing my maids and threatening to get them fired just because they didn't want to be in his bed.
I nodded and called for a car to come pick him up. After he left and after I checked on Zoey to see if she was still asleep I turned in for the night.

{Eve}
The location that we had to meet the Double Agents at was at the halfway point of the target's route to his house. That route just seemed waaay too easy to me.
"A kidnapping mission huh?" Charlotte said. "This just seems too easy to do. I mean wouldn't they have a look alike for a person of royalty?"
"That's a good question," I said. I tapped into my Tracking powers as I watched a line of black limos go by. I saw in three of the separate limos, there were three different people that looked alike. I opened my eyes and nodded. "Yup, they have look alikes. I thought this was too easy but of course it's not."
"So what's your call Leader Agent 36?" Charlotte asked.
I groaned. "Please don't call me that! Just call me Agent 36 when we're out on a job."
George rolled his eyes. "Really Agent 54? Knock it off and be serious."
"Anyway, I say we take all three people that look the same. Then we can worry about figuring out who the real person is later," I said. I turned to George. "What powers do you have besides Stunning Abilities?"
"I have Wind Power, Magnetic Power and I can transform into a Puma. I have no idea what other powers that nutcase Uncle 42 gave me," George said.
I turned to Daisy because I knew she had Wind Power also. "Agent 47 and Agent 72, you two use your Wind Powers to disable the vehicles that I point to. Agent 60, Agent 003 and Agent 54 you guys use whatever powers you have to pull the bodyguards out of the cars and stun them. There's also a good chance that the bodyguards might be Agents so be careful with that."
As the long line of limos came around the corner I pointed to the three vehicles that had the real person and impersonators in them. The bodyguards were pretty strong and put up a good fight as Evan, Jacob and Charlotte yanked them out of the cars one by one. At first that had me thinking that the bodyguards weren't Agents. The bodyguards might not have been Agents but their leader was.
One guy who had the look of an Agent which is the standard big muscles that look like a bodybuilder (mostly when an Agent is a man) and the uniform that he was wearing failed to hide them. The guy had a long scar going down the left side of his face. Which I thought was weird because when most Agents heal up they don't have scars unless the injury was super serious. Now that I think about it, I still have scars on my chest from when I was attacked at my own wedding almost four years ago.
The guy looked at me and gave me an evil smirk. "Well, well what do we have here? A group of Agents coming to kidnap my job? I wonder, what congregation are you from? You guys don't look like you're from the same congregation."
He cracked his knuckles. "Oh well, I'll find out soon enough."
I cocked my head. "Oh really now? Okay then, take your best shot."
He charged at me and I blocked the move by using my Creation Abilities to create a shield. He started to punch the shield as if that would get to me and then gave up after a moment. Jumping he changed his strategy. He went after my teammates because they were busy being distracted by disabling the other bodyguards and securing the real target along with the impersonators.
But I was faster and I didn't realize how fast I was until I found myself in front of the guy before he took two steps towards my teammates. "Oh no you don't!"
Without thinking, I used my Creation Powers to create a whole bunch of bullets. I then spun around and somehow managed to slow down time and launched the bullets without using a gun after I sped time up again. I blinked as I saw the man's lifeless body on the ground.
I looked over and saw that a few of the bodyguards that we fought were stuck to trees without being tied up. I'm going to assume that was due to George's Magnetic Powers.
For whatever the reason, Daisy, Evan, Jacob, Charlotte and George were staring at me with their jaws dropped.
"Since when did you develop Matrix Powers?" Jacob asked.
I tilted my head. "What do you mean?"
"You were able to launch bullets in slow motion as if you were firing off a gun but without the gun! Man, if only I had a camera to record that and show it to you! It was awesome!" Charlotte cheered.
I blinked. "Matrix Powers huh?" I regained my composure and shrugged. "I'm guessing that nutcase Uncle 42 gave them to me when I was in that stupid Water Tank. I swear that guy creeps me out to no end."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Everyone refers to him as a nutcase for a reason," Jacob said.
"Nutcase isn't a strong enough word to describe him!" Evan exclaimed. "The word psycho is more like it. If the man wasn't paid to torture people on regular basis he might considered the worst serial killer of all time!"
"Alright, enough talking, the sooner we get this mission done the sooner we can go home," I said. "Let's take the real target and the impersonators to the safe house and start figuring out who the real one is."
Charlotte perked up. "Does that mean we get to torture them?"
I snorted. "No. After you guys left Elder Lewis gave me instructions to make sure that he is turned over to the Council intact. Meaning, the fewer wounds our target has the better. I have a way to discern who the real target is once we get to the safe house. Let's go."
We gathered up the real target and the impersonators and headed to the safe house.

The mission took a full week to complete. The last two days of the mission everyone on the team failed to get any sleep. Everyone just wanted to finish the mission and go home. Especially Eve. Every once and while Charlotte or Jacob would nod off and they even suggested that we rotate on who keeps watch so we could take turns sleeping.
Eve told them to do whatever they wanted as long as the mission got completed.
When I got home I didn't make it to my room when I crashed on the couch in the first living room in the house. The house is pretty much a mansion because it's for Triple X and his family. Since Triple X considers me as part of the family I live here with him and Branden.
I let out a contented sigh once I took off my suit jacket. The suit that I wear for my missions is actually designed to be a really thin type of armor. After I took off my suit jacket I sank down into the nice comfy couch. "It's so nice to be home."
"Wow, you look like a hot mess," I heard Triple X say.
I looked over to Triple X walking into the room with a frown on his face.
I sighed, "You'd be a hot mess too if you had a mission that lasted a week and went two days without any sleep. I'm just happy to be home. On the bright side at least I get two weeks off now."
"Why did you go without sleep for two days?" Triple X said.
I shrugged. "I don't know. I guess everyone just wanted to get home. Eve was the worst, it was hard just to get her to at least take a cat nap. She's the definition of the word stubborn."
Triple X nodded. "Yeah I remember when I was training with Agent 36, Trainer Michael would have to give a tranquilizer just to get her to sleep. And of course I know about the new team that's been set up. And I know about your new Agent ID, Agent 72."
"Yeah, that's going to take some getting used to," I said. I stretched and yawned. "Either way, it feels so good to be home."
"Oh no you don't!" Triple X said.
I looked at him. "What?"
"You look like you're going to fall asleep on the couch," Triple X said.
Without warning he picked me up and carried me towards the steps before I could protest, he said, "You're sleeping in a nice comfortable bed after a shower with a round of sex added in."
The next thing I knew he had me naked in the shower fucking me and after that I changed into a sweat shirt and sweat pants for pajamas and laid on the bed. Triple X slid into bed under the covers next to me. "Goodnight George, sweet dreams."
I didn't say anything as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
