"You'll figure it but I can't help you. " they answered me.

"Okay. Let me try again. " I asked them.

"One more chance. " they told me.

"Thank you. " I thanked them.

"You're welcome. " they answered me.

"It's one h not two hs so it should be Matth. " I answered them.

"Just two letters and then you're finished. " they informed me.

"Yay! " I cheered.

"Settle down. Don't be too loud! " they scolded me.

"Yes, I understand. Sorry. I got too carried away. " I apologised.

"Apology accepted. " they excused me.

"The next clue is two things an agent needs to have when working with a team." they asked me.

"It's empathy and emotional intelligence. So there's two es so it's Matthee. " I answered unsure.

"You're so close but you made a mistake again. " they told me.

"It's one e. It's Matthe. " I answered them.

"The last clue is two qualities agents need to use in any situation. " they asked me.

"It's wisdom and wit. There's one so your name spells Matthew. It's you Matthew. I can't believe I couldn't recognise you. Thank you for helping me recover my memory. " I answered Matthew.

"It's no problem. I'm glad you're back. I hope you all are coping fine without me. Tell me what happened. " Matthew asked me.

"Today was an eventful day. Basically, we were attending Kilter's court trial. That was halted suddenly and was postponed to be finished at a later date because something happened to me out of nowhere. I couldn't see clearly, felt quite dehydrated with a lot on m mind, which caused me to faint like you suspected was the cause of my memory loss. I was sent to hospital because I didn't gain consciousness immediately after fainting. The doctors there said to me at the hospital that the burns I had previously were healing including the wound on my arm well. They also said that the sudden pain I experienced was just acute pain with muscle pain, which healed. I was there for a while and then they gave me the all clear as everything seemed fine then. Then, we found Julia, Detective Slick, Detective Ross, Detective Felix and Kirsty. We also found Macelia and Denise who was alive thankfully she seemed to have some wounds and bruises same with Macelia. We found that we met who was behind trying to kill Macelia Wyatt before we met again. e found that he had accomplices, three that came to their senses thanks to Larela I think and others who didn't. The three who came to their senses were Cassius, Wyatt and Kodiak and they are now being questioned by the police but the other accomplices are in prison same with Farrell, the guy behind all of it. We met Bernette too." I answered.

________________________________________________________________________________

"She was someone, who helped us defeat Farrell and his accomplices. someone from Protocol sent to help us and she basically left us all on her train ride back here and she's taking the plane back to Norway, Protocol's main headquarters base. We then took the train back here which was a 2 hour ride. I managed to get some sleep on the train and the train was very peaceful since we were all tired." I recalled to Matthew.

"A lot did happen if you remember all that. " Matthew responded.

"I suppose so. Anyway, we should end the call now since it's getting late." I suggested to Matthew.

"You're right. Bye and goodnight." Matthew said goodbye.

"Bye and goodnight to you." I answered ending the call on my phone.

"What's the time?" I asked myself.

"It's 10:30pm. The day is Monday 17th February 2045. Tomorrow is Tuesday 18th February 2045." I answered my on question.

"I should get to bed because I have an important day ahead of me. Everyone's sleeping so soundly. I wish I could sleep as easily as they could. It's nice to get some peace and quiet especially your work is so hectic and busy because I have to travel so much." I thought to myself.

"I'm ready to go bed now. First I need to open this door, take off my jacket, hang it up on one of the hooks on the wall, take off my slippers and get in bed." I spoke to myself.

I then got up after sitting down, opened the door by the door handle, pulled the door open, walked away from my balcony to my bedroom where Larela was sleeping in the same room. I then closed the door behind me and locked the door. I then took off my colour changing jacket, hung it up on one of the wall hooks, walked off to my bed, which was a king sized bed furnished with a blue comforter, cyan pillow cases, one teal top sheet and a blue zigzag patterned blanket on top. I removed my fluffy lilac slippers as well and jumped into bed, pulling the sheets over me. I placed my phone on my bedside table next to Larela's bed. I then quickly placed an alarm on my phone for 6am tomorrow. I then closed my eyes, sleeping on my right side.

"Good morning. " someone spoke to me.

"Good morning. " I answered them.

"How are you? " I asked them.

"I'm good. Thank you. How about you? " they returned to me

"I'm feeling great. Where are you headed? " I asked them.

"I'm headed to somewhere I can't tell you. " they answered me.

"Why can't you tell me? " I questioned them.

"You'll see for yourself soon enough. " they responded to me.

"What do you mean? I'm not coming with you. " I answered them.

"Why not? " they questioned my decision.

"I don't know who you are. " I answered them.

"I have to keep my identity a secret now."

________________________________________________________________________________

"I'm your friend. " they answered me.

"Why do you have to keep your identity a secret? Can you tell me why? " I asked them.

"I can't tell you. Thing is it's complicated and I doubt that you have the time. I hardly know you so I don't know whether to tell you or not. " they responded to me.

"Are you in danger or something? " I asked them.

"I can't really give you any details because of my safety. I don't know whether to trust you or not. " they answered me.

"Of course you can trust me. " I reassured them.

"How do I know if I can trust you? " they questioned me seriously.

"I'm no liar I promise. " I assured them.

"I can't. It's too risky for me and you. " they answered me.

"What do you mean? " I asked them.

"I can't tell you. " they answered me.

"Why don't you trust me? Tell me why. " I answered them.

"I told you why. " they answered me.

"That's no reason not to tell me. " I answered them.

"You don't know when to quit it, do you? You have to respect my wishes. " they lashed out at me.

"If you're not telling me anything, they must mean you're in danger if you're being this secretive. " I figured it out.

" How did you know? " they asked me in disbelief.

"I'm good at reading body language. " I told them.

"But I didn't give anything away? " they asked me.

"You gave me subtle hints that no one else would notice unless they had a keen eye for detail. " I answered them.

"I did? " I answered them.

"You didn't realise, did you until I told you before? " I asked them.

"Yeah you're right. You're pretty smart for a stranger. " they agreed with me.

"Pretty smart? I'm better than just smart you know. " I answered them.

"Oh really. Most people lie so how do I knew you're not the majority? " they questioned me.

"Easy. I don't need to prove it to you because I already did. " I answered surely.

"That's not enough you know? " they answered me.

"I was expecting you to say that. " I countered them.

"I see you're perceptive as well hard to see someone who isn't fazed by me. " they answered me.

"Who are you by the way? You never told me. " I reminded them.

"Well, you never told me your name. It's rude not to introduce yourself. " they provoked me.

"Oh sorry about that. My name's Kyla. What's yours? " I asked them.

"Your name means victorious and beautiful right. A fitting name for someone who has both beauty and brains. " they responded to me.

"Your name? " I reminded them not buying what they said.

"Right, my name is Arne. " they introduced themselves.

"Why are you in danger Arne? " I asked them.

"Kyla, I can't tell you. We have to get out of here now. " they warned me.

"Why? " I questioned them unsure.

"We don't have time. We have to go now! " they rushed me, grabbing me quickly.

________________________________________________________________________________

He held me by the arm and was running.

"Okay! Where are we going? " I asked them.

"Shh! You're too loud! Keep it down otherwise you give our location away and let them find us! " Arne scolded me.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know. " I assented to Arne.

"You're forgiven but you mustn't do that again. Do you understand? " Arne asked me, angry with me.

"I know. I'm not sure child that you have to give me a full on lecture! " I moaned at Arne.

"You're right. I was harsh on you but it was for your own good. " Arne scolded me.

"You remind me exactly of my mother. " I commented.

"Who's your mother? " Arne asked me, interested.

"It's personal and I can't tell you. " I told Arne.

"Right since I have to respect your wishes since you respected mine. " Arne realised.

"Exactly. You can say that again beside you have to keep your word since you promised me. " I reminded Arne.

"I don't remember making any promise to you. " Arne asked me.

"You did. You don't remember. " I told Arne.

"I guess I did. You won. " Arne gave in.

"Now, will you talk what's going on? " I asked Arne.

"I told you I can't before. You have a bad memory don't you? " Arne realised.

"Yeah, but that's only because I'm worried about you. " I admitted to Arne.

"You're worried about me? Besides this is none of your business so back off and leave me alone! " Arne retaliated against me.

"Wait what? You said we're friends! Friends don't do that! " I responded to them.

"Look. You have to get out of here now. It's not safe if you stay any longer. " Arne told me.

"I'm not going anywhere if you're not coming with me. " I argued with Arne.

"Just listen to me. Trust me on this one just this once. " they begged me.

"Why should I? " I asked them.

"I promise to tell you what's the real story if you listen. " they begged me.

"Fine. It's a deal with you have to keep your word and come with me. " I told them.

"I never said that I was going to come with you. " they argued with me.

"Too late. You shouldn't have said we were friends otherwise this would have never happened to me or you. " I answered them.

"It's not my fault. It was you who started this. " they fought with me.

"I got dragged into this because of you! " I told them.

"Shh! Someone's coming! " they warned.

"Who? Where? " I asked them.

"Right over there!" they pointed out to me slightly.

"How do you know whoever's after you is really there?" I asked them quietly.

"I know this place and everywhere around here inside out!" they whispered to me.

"How?" I questioned them.

"I've been in hiding for years from them. They want something from me that I can't give them." Arne answered.

"What do they want from you that you can't give them? Why are you still in hiding?" I questioned Arne out of concern.

"They've interfered with my plan numerous times, which was why I have a lack of progress at the moment/ What I have is valuable, which has been passed from generation to generation. One more thing is that its power can only be harnessed through those who have a good heart. If any evil hands lay their hands on it, it could destroy everything in existence or even harm the person who has it in their possession if their hearts are evil or use the power for evil." Arne confessed to me.

"Wow, that's surprising. I never heard of it." I answered Arne shocked.

_______________________________________________________________________________

"The reason why you never heard of it is if anyone else knew, me and others would be in danger if it were to belong to any outsiders. To have that power in possession, you have to prove yourself worthy to get your hands on it. Very few people have passed the test. Not everyone is trustworthy of handling the great responsibility of being a guardian of such power. The test requires sacrifice, honesty, humility, dependability and much more. " Arne disclosed to me.

"I see why but may you please give me details of who they really are?" I asked Arne.

"Unfortunately, it's not sage neither is it the appropriate time to discuss this." Arne told me.

"Why?" i asked Arne confused.

"They figured our location out!" Arne disclosed to me.

"But how?" I asked Arne.

"I don't know how they did it but that's nothing less I would expect from them." Arne disclosed to me.

"So what are we going to do?" I questioned Arne.

"We run while they're behind us." Arne instructed me.

"Why? Running is what cowards only do. We fight them head on!" I disagreed with them.

"You don't get it, do you? Running isn't running away from a challenge. It's only until we know what they're really up to!" Arne explained to me.

"So you're saying we retreat until we got a plan to stop them in their tracks?" I asked Arne.

"You guessed right." Arne answered me.

" So where are we heading to retreat for the time being?" I asked Arne.

"I know. Just follow me." Arne insisted me.

"Why aren't you telling me?" I asked Arne.

"If I tell you, they'll hear me and find us out! It's safer this way for you and me." Arne explained to me.

"Remember to be quick but quiet so they can't see or hear us at all." Arne reminded me.

"I got it." I answered Arne.

Arne led me to a hidden hideaway, which was covered by the twigs and branches with lots of trees in sight so it would be hard for them to find where we really are. We hid from the shadows out of sight so they couldn't notice us and so we could see and hear what they could be possibly plotting against Arne this time.

"What do you think they're doing?" I asked in a whisper to Arne.

"Just watch. You'll see what they're trying to do." Arne answered me.

"Okay. I can't see what they're doing." I mentioned to Arne.

"I know. They do that so no one can say that they're behind all the damage and scars left on me and my family." Arne answered me.

"So that means they always have their guard on." I mentioned to Arne.

"Just about right." Arne confirmed to me.

"Pay close attention to them and maybe we'll fin out what they're up to now!" Arne suggested.

"Good idea Arne!" I agreed.

"Where do you think that delinquent Arne went?" a voice spoke.
