The night sky was filled with iridescent stars. The blackness of the sky showcased the beauty of the stars as I sat against the balcony end of my room, admiring the night view in front of me. I felt the wind's breeze against my skin and swayed my clothes I was wearing, my light blue and dark blue coloured vertical stripes buttoned up pyjama top and bottom with a navy and cyan trimmed collar.

"I wonder what mission we'll have tomorrow. I wonder if we'll meet someone new. I feel like we will because Matthew's not well enough to join us for our missions. It's sad that he got injured but I guess we could do without a temporary member as a team of 7 instead of 8 I suppose. It'll be weird either way without him so what are we going to do? " I pondered to myself with the door shut behind him so no one could hear.

"It's nice to get some time by myself because being with a team drains me as a leader but I got a break for today. It felt weird by being by myself and not having them with me since I've gotten so accustomed to their company for so long. I spent a long time with them all. I could think but I couldn't help but be worried about them. I've conditioned myself to think about others so much that I hardly thought about myself these days. " I spoke to myself.

"I wonder about how my mum's coping without me. I'm her only daughter and I haven't seen my dad for so long. I wonder whether I have a younger sister or brother out there I haven't met. I probably do or maybe we both got separated at birth so they might be why I haven't seen my other sibling if I have one. God knows if I have one in real life. It would be nice if I did. That's my goal in life that I hope to achieve before the day I die. " I spoke to myself.

"I wonder what's the Regional Agents League really is about. Whatever it is, we will win it together. Whatever it is, we will win it together. I wonder how Pat and Matthew are doing so maybe I should go and call them now to see how they're both doing. " I pondered out loud to myself.

I took out a letter out of my jacket's pocket I wore on top of my pyjama top to stay warm from the cold. I opened it as it was a letter from my mum.

"Dear Kyla, I miss you and all. You're the best daughter I could ask for and I do wish for you to call me more because you hardly come your own mother now. You make me a great deal worried about you and I hope you're coping okay without me even though we have been apart for a little over 10 years now."

_______________________________________________________________________________

"I hope you come visit me more on your day off when you can and tell me everything. Your mum's always here to help you. Sweet heart, it's time for you to find the one for you since you're a young lady and at the age you should have found your true love. I'm just kidding and you can take as much as you need to but I do worry whether you have a love life or not. I know your work doesn't give you much time for yourself or to spend any time trying to find the right guy for you. Do your best and make your mum proud. I love you always my Kyla dear. Love your mum Keren. " I read my mother's letter to myself.

"It's getting late so I should get some rest for tomorrow. But I should call Matthew definitely for sure because he probably misses us a lot and wants someone to talk to. I should also call Pat as well since I never had the chance to tell him what was going on and to thank him for everything he did for us. Who should I call Matthew first or Pat? Matthew more since he is my teammate so he'll be happy to know we haven't forgotten him. I got to be quiet otherwise everyone will wake up. Good that I closed the door behind us so I don't wake them up. "

My phone rang from inside my jacket pocket that I was wearing.

"I wonder who's calling me at this time so late at night. It might be Pat or Matthew who's calling me now. "

I took out my Reeds brand mobile phone, that had a 6 inch screen, 7000mAh battery, silver coloured with 6 cameras vertically lined on my phone back from my jacket photo, which was a black trench-coat with a rose gold zipper with black buttoned pockets. The Reeds logo was a thunderbolt on the centre of the back of my phone in both silver and gold. I pressed the on button on the right side of the phone screen to turn on my phone. I put my left index finger on the home button of my phone to unlock. I picked up the call by clicking the green phone button with the road accept in green below the green phone icon.

"Hello, who is it? " I asked the person on the phone.

"Don't you remember? You know me! Can't you tell by my voice? " they asked the phone.

"I can't tell. Sorry. Your voice sounds unfamiliar to me. " I answered me.

"You're not joking? Man, what can I do to refresh your memory of me? " they answered me on the phone.

"Wait? What did you just say? Your voice reminds me of someone. " I answered them on the phone.

"Tell me who my voice reminds you of. " they asked of me.

"Your voice reminds me of this Matthew guy? " I answered them unsure.

"You're not really sure? How?"

________________________________________________________________________________

"Man this is gonna be harder then I thought. " they answered me on the phone.

"I beg your pardon but what did you say? " I asked them to repeat themselves.

"I didn't say anything. It was nothing. I'll give one more chance for you to tell me who I am. " they answered me.

"Are you sure? You sound suspicious. You're not hiding anything I need to know right? " I asked him.

"Me suspicious? No way I sound suspicious! You got to be kidding me! "they hesitated.

"You really think you can fool me? You might think I'm a fool but truth is I'm not one. I can sense a liar from miles away! " I bluffed a little to them.

"Huh? What does this happen to do with me? " they asked me confused.

"You don't know me if you can't read between the lines. I made it very clear to you. How many times do I have to tell you for you to get the message? " I questioned to them.

"Umm.. " they hesitated again.

"What are you waiting for? Tell me. " I asked of them.

"Don't rush me. I need time to think. " they asked of me.

"It's not really that hard to answer one simple question. If you take any longer, I'm afraid you're wasting my time meaning that I'll have to end this call between us two short if you're playing with me. " I made it clear to them.

"I'll answer your question. Don't end the call. " they answered me finally.

"Took you long enough so tell me. You better not be lying to me. " I reminded them.

"I promise I'm not lying to you. " they promised to me on the call.

"Lots of people make false promises they can't follow through so how do I know that I can trust you? " I asked them.

"You have a point but you shouldn't assume everyone is like that. Everyone's different and no two people are the same. " they responded to me.

"So what's your point with me? How do I know you're not like the rest and not just a player? " I asked them.

"Why don't you believe me? " they asked me.

"I don't believe you because I don't know or neither I remember you at all. " I answered them.

"What should I do to help you remember me? " they asked my help.

"I don't know. You should know since you said you know me. " I answered them.

"Help me please. My mind's gone blank. " they asked of me.

"If you know me, I help no one. " I lied to them.

"You're lying. I know you're not like that. " they answered me.

"How do you know if I'm lying or not? Tell me how you know and I tell you if you're right. " I asked of them.

"I'll give you what you want from me. Your name is Kyla Fern Charleston. " they answered me.

"How do you know my full name? Hardly anyone knows. I guess you know me now. "

________________________________________________________________________________

"But I still don't know you. " I answered them.

"Lord help me! " they despaired silently.

"I'm guessing you're my friend Pat! " I asked them unsure with hesitation in my voice.

"Not close! Wrong! Try again! " they answered me.

"Then, you have to be Nate! " I answered them.

"Nope! Who is he? " they asked of me.

"I rather not talk about them. " I answered them.

"Why not? " they asked of me.

"It's none of your business! You're just a stranger! " I retaliated at them.

Okay, okay! I got the message! " they snapped at me.

"I think you're that Luke guy. Your voice reminds me of him. " I guessed again.

"You're wrong again. I don't get how hard this is for you. " they answered.

"You hardly gave me any hints or clues so how am I supposed to know or not? " I asked them.

"Well I did. You haven't noticed. " they responded to me.

"What clues did you give me? You didn't give me any. " I answered.

"Think again and this time think harder. Try to remember. " they instructed me.

"Okay, I'll try. I don't think it'll work. " I doubted them.

"Trust me. It'll work. " they reassured me.

"Well, how do you know if it'll work or not? How can you be so sure of yourself? The end outcome is unpredictable. " I doubted them.

"No need to be so hasty. You'll see soon enough for yourself! " they answered me calmly.

"What sort of answer is they? " I questioned them.

"Straightforwardness is always the way to go! " they answered me.

"Not necessarily. The right way to approach things changes with its circumstances. There's no one way for everything." I corrected them.

"Oh boy, here you go again! " they complained about me.

"You know I can hear what you're saying you know? " I reminded them.

"Pretend you heard nothing from me. " they whispered scared.

"Why are you so nervous? There's nothing to worry about. " I answered them.

"Right, there's nothing to worry about. Thanks. " they thanked me.

"You're very welcome stranger! " I winded them up.

"I have a name you know! " they snapped at me.

"I said I don't know your name so I'll call you stranger until you tell me your name. I've had enough of this guessing game of yours. " I answered them.

"You're no fun if you're going to be like that. " they answered me.

"I don't really care what you think about me because you're just a stranger so your opinion isn't important to me. " I answered them.

"Okay if you're going to act like that. Girls are so moody and almost everything is not enough to make them happy. Why are girls so rude? " they complained to me.

"Fine. If you're that sensitive, you can end the call. " I answered them.

"I will since you're so mean. " they grumbled.

"Whatever. It's not like I care anyways! You better not be a crybaby! " I teased them.

"It's not funny! Stop making fun of me! " they answered.

"Lighten up!" I answered.

________________________________________________________________________________

"You're right! I was just joking with me. You got any clue now about how I am? You know me too but you just forgot!" they answered me.

"I did? I don't know! " I responded.

"Something happened to you earlier today right? " they asked me, guessing.

"How did you know? " I asked them.

"It was just a hunch!" they answered pretty sure of themselves.

"No, it can't be. You must have read my mind. " I answered them.

"I didn't because I'm no psychic. I just guessed right by coincidence. " they answered me.

"I suppose you could be right. " I agreed with them.

"You don't believe me? " they asked in disbelief.

"No, that's not the case. " I responded.

"Then, what is it then? " they asked me.

"Don't rush me. I need time to think. " I requested them.

"Yep, it seems you have temporary memory loss. " they suggested.

"You really think so? How can you tell? " I asked of them.

"That incident of yours had a trigger, possibly due to stress, insomnia or anxiety or depression. " they suggested to me.

"I think it could have been my insomnia, being stressed as well as anxiety I had, that could cause it. " I answered them.

"What happened to you? " they questioned me.

"I don't remember anything. " I answered them truthfully.

"Did you pass out or something? " they asked me.

"I don't know if I did or not. " I admitted.

"So that means you possibly may have fainted that time. " they suggested.

________________________________________________________________________________

"Maybe I did. " I answered, still iffy about it.

"Was it because of any dizziness, cold skin, sweating, slurred speech, feeling sick, changes to your vision, severe pain, not eating or drinking enough being too hurt or heart problems that caused you to possibly faint? " they interrogated me.

"Wow that's a lot to take in. I'm tired so don't overwhelm me with that much info now. " I told them off.

"Sorry. It's pretty late. " they apologised.

"Why are you so concerned about me? You should worry about yourself not me because you're just a stranger who just somehow know me and have my phone number. " I retaliated at them.

"You don't get it, do you? " they asked me.

"I don't because I don't know why. " I answered them.

"I'm concerned because you know me and because you're my teammate and friend as well. " they admitted to me, annoyed.

"I'm your teammate and friend? I don't remember you being my friend or something. " I answered them.

"You're confused, aren't you? Let me clear things up for you. " they offered.

"Please explain all of this because I have no idea what you're talking about. " I asked them.

"I'm your old mentor before you passed your final and last agent examinations to become a fully fledged agent at Protocol. I was your second mentor after your friend Julia left Protocol. I'm older than you by 5 years. I'm just one year younger than Julia you know. " they explained to me.

"That rings a bell. You're a friend of Julia? " I asked them.

"Yes I am. I'm one step closer to getting you to remember me. " they answered me.

"One step closer to what? " I asked them.

"It's nothing. " they dismissed it.

"Okay. Continue. " I told them.

"My name is not Luke, Nate or Pat all. My name begins with the letter before the N in the alphabet. " they told me.

"The first letter of your name is My right? " I asked them.

"That's right. What was one of the tests you had? It begins with one of the first letters of the alphabet. " they assisted me.

"It was an agility test so the second letter of your name is A. It spells Ma so far. " I responded to them.

"Good. The next clue is something you had a test in and it's one of the letters that is near the end of the alphabet. " they assisted me.

"It's teamwork so the next letter of your name is T. Your name is currently Mat. " I answered them.

"Good job so far. The next clue is something you need to have with your friends or colleague and what is it? " they asked me.

"It's trust so the next letter of your name is T so it's so far spells Matt. " I answered them.

"Does it ring a bell to you? Is it not familiar to you? " they asked me.

"My memory's coming back. " I answered them.

"What qualities does every agent need ? " they asked me.

________________________________________________________________________________

"Is it humility and honesty? So there's two hs right so it spells Matthh. " I answered them.

"You're very close but you made a mistake somewhere. " they told me.

"Where's my mistake? Tell me. " I asked them.
