Agent Shadows: tapping fingers So, you figured it out, huh? What gave it away?
I mean, you act like no other teacher I know, your last name is Shadows, and the fact that you were a spy sent by the enemy country to come over and “funnel information back to the enemy” kind of gave it away too. And you seem really… invested in fine dining.
Well, my cover was blown, so I had to reveal myself to you. And about the fine dining, it's just my way of relaxing after all the stress I went through.
What stress? Being a secret operative sent from Eastern Europe to Western Europe to get sent to another country for assassination attempts?
sighs Yeah, that was pretty stressful. But enough about me, let's talk about something else. How are you holding up?
I’m alright- It’s kinda weird having my “teacher” be a spy who was sent to a different country to die and who has no problem with drinking wine and going to fancy restaurants and canceling lessons. Let alone being from Eastern Europe. I’m from Spain.
Well, I'm glad you're okay with it. And I chose to be your "teacher" because I knew you would have potential.
Don't you remember anything? Did someone tell you about a memory-erasing pill?
Yes. And I remember taking one not too long ago….
That's right. They used it on you to erase your memories. But luckily, we managed to retrieve them and bring them back.
You see, there's more to your story than you know. There's a lot that we still need to uncover. But for now, we'll focus on getting you back on your feet.
Don't worry, we'll get through this together. For now, just try to relax and take things one step at a time. taps fingers rhythmically
Wait- You’re the one who taps fingers rhythmically.
smiles Oh, right. It's become sort of a habit of mine. Helps me think. But enough about me. How are you feeling?
I’m fine I guess? I’m still kinda confused though.
It's understandable. We'll figure this out together. For now, just try to stay calm and focus on getting better. pauses
Now, let's get you settled in. We've arranged a safe place for you to stay. It's clean, cozy, and has everything you'll need.
leads LeventisBoy to a small, furnished apartment This is where you'll be staying. It's safe and secure, with plenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable.
Ok….. I say as I look around the apartment. Where did you even get the money to pay for this?
smiles Oh, that's taken care of. Let's just say we have some... generous benefactors who want to see you taken care of.
Ok….. I look around the apartment again, this time noticing the kitchen. Do they even know I don’t actually cook? I’ve never cooked a day in my life.
Don't worry about cooking. We've got it covered. We've hired a team of chefs to deliver food to your doorstep whenever you want.
No problem. Just make yourself comfortable and let us know if you need anything. We're here to help. And remember, we're not your enemies.
I nod, slowly starting to trust you.
extends a hand I have a confession to make. I'm not really your teacher. I'm actually a spy sent to retrieve a stolen asset from you.
