245 The Last Talk

Now, for some unknown reason, YMPA school decided to end early because of some meeting with the directors of the YMPA.

That’s ironic.

Nonetheless, that means I could go to Greg’s house earlier. At six instead of eight, I headed to his house, anxious but also exhilarated to find out anything else Mr. Drails, or those other guys from Mexico were doing.

They would probably be defending the Xeno and the Armonk, unless the Xeno is somewhere else in the YMPA grounds.

I walked over to Greg’s house nervously. I knocked on the door, saw Greg’s humongous mom, then rushed up to the living room.

“Hey Greg,” I said, catching his attention immediately. He has this sort of way of turning his head, that he whips his head towards the person talking. It goes faster than the frames per second you can even see, if that makes any sense.

“What’s good, bro,” Greg said, and we dabbed each other up. Dabbed is such a weird word.

“Alright, so what has happened so far?” I asked Greg. “Well, let me start with this,” he said, almost warning the fact that something completely backwards was about to erupt. “Remember when Fulton said to do nothing–at all?”

“Yeah.”

.....

“That kind of has been twisted a bit, if you could put it that way.”

“What do you mean?”

“After looking at the footage early and not waiting for you, Fulton found out that there is a meeting that is soon to happen. The question is this: When? When is this going to occur, because if we do know, that means we can intercept it.”

“I thought so,” I said. “So who’s doing it?” Greg tilted his head left and right unsurely before he said, “You. All of us, technically, but you. You’re the one infiltrating a certain building or center you could call it, which has a drive that holds all the schedules and certain appointments for the YMPA. We don’t want to steal, but more to copy it. Fulton will advance in more detail when we go there at six.”

“Are you serious?” I muttered.

“Yes.”

“How come you can’t?”

“Because you’re a YMPA agent!” Greg argued. “I may be a part of the FMA, but you, you are literally in the same agency that Mr. Drails is the CEO of. Come on.”

“I guess,” I said. “But I want you guys to tell me every single step I have to take. Because I don’t want to die because of some assumption.”

“Don’t worry, trust!” Greg said with a chuckle. “You’re all so worked up, like sometimes in this agency, you gotta chill.”

“Olay, just be chill that I’m committing treason to the agency I’m in,” I shot back at him, which he seemed to take that hardly.

“Well, now that you put it that way,” Greg muttered, “it kind of sounds worse than I thought it actually was.”

“Yeah,” I said, squinting my eyes and nodding with a bit of sarcasm as a topping. “You don’t say.”

“But think about it, we may be saving the world right now. Imagine all those great men, the ones who created the US to what it is right now. They had to do what was wrong, to do what was–”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” I said. “Clearly you know your history.”

“Yes, and so do you. I’m sure you know about the great war and the weapons of mass destruction.”

“Yeah, I do, but I’m not really sure that the weapons of mass destruction are still a thing.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m not sure that the US ever really used that term.”

“What?”

“It’s just that it seems like the media and the government used that term a lot back then, and I’m not sure they’re still using it.”

“Oh, I think they’re still using it.”

“Really?”



“Yeah, why wouldn’t they?” Greg said. “Nonetheless, wanna play a game before Fulton comes? We basically have an hour or so.”

***

As time passed, the arrival of Fulton was near. Realization hit me square in the face once I heard the growls of Fulton’s train of cars. “He’s here,” I said.

“Yeah, we need to get in the car,” Greg said. “We have to go now. It’s an emergency.”

“Emergency?” I asked.

“Yep,” Greg said with a nod. “We’re going to do something illegal, but necessary.”

“Illegal?” I asked, frowning. “We’re breaking the law?”

“Yes, we’re breaking the law,” he said, with a smile. “And we’re going to do it anyway.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’m not really sure, but we’ll know once we’re there.” Greg nodded his head, and he was about to make a dash towards the front door. He ran to the front door, and I could only help but hesitantly follow behind him. We got out of the house, as the bodyguards exited and stood in front of their vehicles. We entered the one where we could see Fulton’s face, although it was darkened by the tint of the windows.

“I’m here!” Greg shouted.

“What’s up?” I could hear his voice through the glass, but it was too dark to make out his face. We opened the door, and just like that, the bodyguards returned to their vehicles once more, before slamming it shut. We entered the car. “So, I heard what your new plan was,” I said to him, which he chuckled.

“Yes, infiltrate the YMPA Storage Center, the place they usually keep classified files and things,” Fulton said. “You’re going to steal a drive that contains a schedule of their usual appointments which should include the meetings with the SAF and BMO.”

“What if we get caught?” I asked him.

“We won’t get caught, and we’ll be able to sneak in and out,” he said. “Well, you actually.” I sighed and shook my head, and I was already beginning to feel scared and fearful. “When are we doing this?”

“Tomorrow, because we don’t want to waste any more time,” Fulton said. “Just wanted to talk to you about the plan.”

“Alright, but I want you guys to tell me everything. I’m not sure how this will go, so I want to know every single detail.”

“Sure, sure,” he said. “So, first, you need to go to the YMPA storage center tomorrow. It’s at the YMPA building, but you guys probably know where that is. You’ll be there at five in the morning, when it’s pretty empty. And there’s going to be a bunch of security guards, but we have the codes for the system, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“So why not–”

“Wait, wait,” Fulton said. “Let me get through this, alright?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“Alright, so there will be a few cameras in the building. But I’ve gotten into the system, and I’ve changed them all to my own code, so they’re all fake. After that, you’ll find yourself in this long, gray hall that may seem to go like...forever, okay? Walk through the hall, because it’s just an illusion then take the elevator to the right. That will take you down to the basement. There, you will see a big red button, right? Press the button.”

“Okay.”

“And then you’ll see a door. Don’t touch the door, it’ll be locked. Just stand next to the door until it opens. Then go through the door. And that’s it. Simple, right? You’ll be in the storage center. Now, the drive you want is the one with the blue box on it. The blue box. Got it? So, you’ll need to get the blue box off the shelf. You’ll notice the box is a bit heavy, so you might want to have a friend help you out. You can just ask Greg for his help. He’s your friend, right?”

“Yes, he’s my friend. Thank you.”

“No, no, it’s fine. Anyway, once you have the blue box, bring it to the elevator and go back to the lobby. You’ll see a desk. Go past the desk, and there should be a window.”

“Okay, where’s the part where I get out of there?” I said, moving my head impatiently.

“Yeah,” Fulton said with a chuckle. “You’re free. No, don’t get out yet. Once you leave the building, go back to the storage center, and you’ll see a couple of boxes in the corner. Take the blue box and put it inside the boxes.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because you’re not done yet. Now, you’ll have to take the blue box to the elevator, and press the button. And when you do, you’ll see a little screen. Just press enter, and the blue box will open. And then, there will be a window. Get in the window, and it will close. Now, you’re in the basement, but you’re not alone. You’ll see a guy sitting on a chair, reading a newspaper.”

“Is it the guy from before?”

“No, he’s the janitor. You can just ignore him. Anyway, the janitor is going to look up, and he’s going to say something like ‘What is going on, or something like that,” Fulton said. “Just say, ‘I’m just here to fix the air conditioning.’ Whatever you say, just make it believable.”

“So I just need to say something, and then I’m done?”

“Yep, after that. Get out into the parking lot, and then we’ll fly from Maine back to California, where we are now, and then you should be back by 10 o’ clock,” Fulton said, with this smile that seemed comical. “Don’t worry, I know you can do it.”

“Okay, well I hope I don’t mess up,” I said, feeling a bit nervous.

“You won’t because if you do, you won’t be in the YMPA for much longer,” Fulton said. “So, don’t mess up. No pressure, of course.”

“No pressure, of course.”

“You’re good at this. I have complete confidence in you. And that’s why you’re the best choice. That’s why I chose you for the job. Because you are good, and I trust you. I want to save the world, but more importantly, your life.”

“Okay, that’s enough,” I said. “I get it.”

“No, I need you to understand what I’m saying. I need you to remember that, and to remember why you were chosen.”

“Okay, I get it. I’m not dumb. I get that I’m the only person who could possibly do this.”

“That’s right,” he said. “You’re the only one. Only you. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I was just explaining it to you.”

“I know.”

“And you’re a good kid. I know you’ll do a great job.”

“Thanks, I appreciate that. I’ll try not to let you down.”

“You won’t,” he said. “But if you do, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

“Okay,” I said, trying to keep a straight face. I almost laughed, because of how weak that sounded, but he does own an organization, so I don’t wanna mess this up.

“Just focus on the task at hand,” he said. “You have a lot to learn, and you still have to grow, but I know you will. I have a feeling you’re going to be the most powerful mage of all time. I can feel it in my bones. So, you just keep being you, and you’ll be fine.”

“Alright...” I muttered with a chuckle.

.....

“Just have fun,” he said. “It’s gonna be an exciting adventure, and I’m glad you’re with us. I know you’ll be able to handle it. Ahh, look, we’re arriving at the C.A.M base. Can’t wait to show you the drive looks like. Let’s get ready to go.”

“Okay, okay,” I said. “Let’s get this over with.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

We arrived at the place, which still looked as mesmerizing as before. I was still in awe that I was actually about to go through with it.

We parked the car and got out, and the bodyguards stood outside, waiting for us to come out. Eventually, I did, and Greg as well. They did their same formation and disperse, and we still went into the lobby, and we got checked by the woman at the front desk, and we still went into the elevator, and we still entered into his office.

And, then, we finally sat down in his office, and I began to wonder if he’d forgotten about the meeting. He didn’t seem to be in any hurry. But obviously he remembered by the time he turned on the TV, and instantly a blue box showed up on the screen. It wasn’t as blue as I thought it was, but it was definitely blue. It was just a tiny bit larger than a computer drive. It had a weird silver light on the side, and it glowed a bright blue.

“This is the drive, or the thing holding the drive–excuse me–that you need to get,” Fulton said, looking straight at me. “So, I’ll explain how to use it. But, I’m not sure how to explain it. You’ll have to use your imagination, and I’ll try to help you.”

“Alright...” I said, a bit worried that I was going to do extra work for listening apparently.

“The drive is in the blue box, and the box will open up to reveal the drive. You’ll see the drive. It’s a small black drive in this matter. Now you’re going to need to copy it in this certain way. You’ll have to press the button on the drive. And then, you’ll hear a beep, and you’ll have to press enter. Then, it’ll start copying.”

“Oh...” I muttered. “So it’s like that?”

“Yes, it’s like that,” Fulton said with a chuckle. “Make three copies of the drive, and then put it right back. And you’ll have to put it in the box with the other two drives, and then put it in the box with the blue box, and then, when you’re done, you’ll have to take it to the elevator, and then you’ll have to press the button. Then, you’ll go through the door, and you’ll have to stand next to the door. Don’t touch the door. It will be locked. Just stand there until it opens, and you’ll go in. Then you’ll see the window. Get in the window, and it will close. You’ll be in the basement. But you won’t be alone. There will be a man sitting on a chair, reading a newspaper. Just say whatever you have to say to him, and then you’ll be out.”





“Yep...the entire plan,” I said. “The entire plan.”

“That shouldn’t be too hard, and if you get caught, that’s where this comes in.”

Fulton got out this watch that was black with a red button, which once it came near my hand, it latched on like a snake. “Oh,” Greg shrieked, which he flinched backwards and took a few deep breaths. “Press the button and it washes their memory from the past three hours.”

“Oh, I see,” I said. “So, if I get caught, they will forget that they saw me?”

“That’s right,” he said. “Just push the button and they’ll forget they ever saw you.”

“Okay,” I said. “That sounds like a good plan. I’ll remember to do that.”

“Now, I need you to be careful. Because things can happen, and it can be very, very dangerous,” Fulton said, looking at me and taking a deep sigh. “But I know you’re going to do a good job.”

I felt a bit nervous and I tried my best not to act weird about it. I didn’t want Fulton to think that I’m a total moron who’s gonna get him killed by doing something stupid. I don’t want anyone to get hurt because of me. I don’t want to kill anybody. I don’t want to kill myself.

“I understand,” I said. “Don’t worry, I’ll be very careful. I promise.”

“Good,” Fulton said. “Because I want you to be able to save the world. I want you to be able to save everyone’s lives. And I don’t want you to die. So, just be careful.”

“Alright,” I said, taking a deep breath.
