Three different people, one that was kidnapped, one an orphan, and one a runaway, all taken into one organization and raised to become super soldiers for the US military. All were trained to their extent and even had to learn and take in information at a quick rate. Although, ten years have passed, all of the training, experiments, and information has made these three sick of it all, and so they escape. Now, while still hiding from their former organization, they put their skills to good use, becoming assassins.


Warning Warning: Contains Cursing and possibly very descriptive gore scenes (If I'm not that lazy). I'd say about 17+ since I will be using F-bombs, but if you can read with the Gaia Filter on then I'm not stopping you.

XXXXXXXXXXChapter 1
XXXXXXXXXX[Kicking Things Off]

Dark... That's all this room was... Dark... With something cold and hard around my wrists... I try to tug my arms away... But the sound of chains rattling only came with the failed attempt to escape... Where was I...? All I remember was running... Running... Trying to get back home... An suddenly... Just an explosion... And it all went dark... Now... I'm just in this dark place... Not a sound at all... "s**t... W-where am I...?" I asked, not really expecting a response at all.

"Good." Said a mysterious male voice that came from nowhere. "You're awake."

I try to find the source of the voice, but everything was still dark. All I could tell about where the voice was coming from was that it probably in front of me. And suddenly, the lights turn on, the sudden shift hurt my eyes as I tried to look away from the ceiling lights. "Ah, damn. That's bright."

"We're not here to make you feel comfortable." The man sitting across from me has said. When my eyes has adjusted, I examined the man sitting across from me, and he didn't look too intimidating. A clean shaven man wearing a white dress shirt, although his pants were out of view for me to tell what kind they were. He looked very organized and neat, but you could tell that the contents of this book was different than the cover just by how he talked to me. "I'm Drake Rhodes. You probably know why you're here, Nathan Fan."

I, Nathan Fan, shrugged at his statement, just waking up after blacking out wouldn't mean that I would know what was going on. "Actually, Mr. Rhodes, I don't know."

Drake sighed and threw down a thick folder, which, from my view, had four more folders in there. "Interrogation. We know who you are and who you've been working for. We know all that you've done, so we'll make things easier on you. You tell us all that we need to know, answer all of our questions, it'll be done before you know it."

I took a moment to consider the offer, but also to examine where I was. Looking around, it seemed to be a warehouse. Drake and I were in the center of bottom floor of the warehouse with six guards surrounding us on the same level, watching us. There was no second floor, just an elevated level of metal flooring and railings that made a square 'U' shape and with stairs at both ends, making it appear like there is a second level. On that elevation of floor were about a dozen armed men, four on each part of the 'U' The windows above were huge, and I could see skyscrapers from about a mile away that had clear view of the warehouse and what could be seen through the windows. A truck could be run through this place, which made me wonder, why would they be interrogating me in here? Why not at the police department? Something was strange. "Well, I guess I'll start where you want to me start."

Drake opened the main folder and spread out all four of the smaller folders on the table before him, which was one that I wasn't chained to. The one I was chained to had metal in the shape of brackets built into the table. The bracket shaped metal was where the other ends of the handcuffs on my wrists were locked onto, preventing me from moving my hands too much. All that I could do with my hands was grab the cup of water in front of me and take a drink, but I wasn't thirsty so I didn't want to test it out yet. "You can start about how you got into that organization you're working for. CEETO."

I haven't talked about that place in a long time. CEETO, a place that my two closest friends thought as a paradise for a short time, but a place that I always thought was evil. "Classified Extensive and Experimental Training Organization. A place that I hate more than anything in the world. Especially the the Head of CEETO, the worst man on the Earth."

Drake nodded and looked down at a notepad he held before him, writing down some information that might be related to what I'm saying. "Continue. How did you get into CEETO?"

I leaned forward and head my head down and facing at the table, just thinking about how I got into this s**t was just too depressing for me, but I had to talk about it. "It was never my choice. You see, we weren't always assassins. We weren't always on the run. We weren't always agents, hell, I was a normal kid before they got involved in my life."

"Then, what did they do to you to get you in this organization? Hell, what did they do to all of you to get guys into this?" Drake had asked, curious as to how I got involved with something that wasn't my choice.

"Kidnapping." I replied. "All of us, kidnapped. Although, the way the other two lived, nobody would care if they were kidnapped. Mine, however, was a whole lot different."

"Huh." Drake sounded interested by this. "Can you tell me what they did to you when you were taken into CEETO?"

"Training." I replied. "Never ending training." Just remembering all that extensive training they went through was too much for him. "And experiments. Some very risky. Some even failed." Just remembering it brought back all the memories of how painful the recovery was for both the failed and successful experiment. "And then the education." Now that was something that wasn't too much for me, it was actually something I excelled in.

"Very interesting." Even though I couldn't see it, I could hear Drake's pen against the surface of the paper as he took notes on what I've been saying. "And so what happened after?"

"The education was given to us quickly so that we would adapt to learning at an accelerated rate. Unfortunately, my friends didn't like that." I slowly pulled my head up to look at Drake. "And I became tired with the constant experiments and training. Hell, soon enough, we all became sick of it. So we escaped. And then we became what we were now."

"Assassins." Drake said. "So, how'd you become one? Was it just a decision or did you have to to survive?"

I sighed and leaned back in my chair. "I didn't want to become one. I wanted to return home. But, they would know I was there. They would find me immediately. None of us had a home or source of income either. I mean, we stole some money before we escaped, got fake IDs, and lived in an RV for awhile. My friend, he was an adult already, he was twenty around the time we escaped, so he acted as our adopted father, we were only minors still. But, it worked, we were able to blend into society normally, except the fact that the money we stole was dwindling, we had to find income. And that's how we became assassins."

"The guys you worked for, did you have any communication with them?" Drake asked.

"Me and my other friend never did. She and I were still minors, so we wouldn't be taken seriously. My older friend, on the other hand, he was taken seriously, especially with his more developed muscular build that me and my friend didn't work on as much." I chuckled a bit at that. "But, we all have strengths."

"Those would be?"

"Intelligence, strength, and speed. Each one of us exceeds in a certain one whereas the other two would make up for their lacking."

Drake continued to write. "Well, that's pretty interesting. I'd like to hear more about those when we get to talking about you and your fellow assassins." He flipped over page and prepared to write down more information. "Which we are getting to right now."

"Really?" I asked. "I mean, you have all you need in those folders. But, I guess if you're too lazy, then I can go tell you about me and my fellow assassins."

"Please start."

XXXXXXXXXXChapter 2
XXXXXXXXXX[My Story]

Where was I supposed to begin? There were many places to start, but I guess that telling him my story would be the best thing, after all, that's what I knew the most. "Alright. Let's start with me. And how I got into this crap." I remember my old life pretty well, actually. I was told that remembering it would bring more pain, but I wasn't one to listen to the Head of CEETO. "Nathan Fan, Male, 20, Asian, Callsign: Birdseye, exceeding in intelligence." As I begun to tell him my story, the images started flashing in my head, all from my life before being kidnapped.

Flashback

Seven years of my life were spent being raised by two loving and caring parents who devoted all their spare time towards me and each other. Now, they wouldn't spend their money on every single thing I wanted, but they did do what they could to make me happy. My mother, a teacher, and my father, a doctor, made it so that I had the best of everything.
Education wise, I was sent to private school to receive top quality education, and I was able to absorb all of that knowledge pretty well, actually. I would work my hardest and complete my work quickly and perfectly. True, I seemed too smart for the class, but I think it's because of my parents why I am this intelligent.
My mother was a high school teacher, and she loved it, despite the behavior of some of her unruly students. She seemed too young to be a teacher, only 34 at the time, in fact, she was able to pass for a Senior if she wore the uniform. She hoped for me to attend the school she was teaching at, but she would be happy with anywhere I went. As long as I went to college and was able to hold down a well-paying job, then she knew that her real job was complete.
My father was a doctor who had a degree in anatomy, and he even went to the Marines to become a combat medic, and although the disturbing sights he's behold during operations, he still loved the feeling of saving a life. He was about four years older than my mother, but the white hair he was growing already would make him seem like he was in his forties. He wanted me to study medical, but if my goal was to go to engineering or anything else, then he would be content with that.
Those two met about three years before conceiving me, and it was all through my father's work that brought them together. My mother got into an accident, in which she was taken to the hospital and had to undergo surgery in order to survive. My father, who had no idea at the time who she was, had been assigned to operate on her. He did a tremendous job and saved her life, and she was very grateful for that. About a year after that, my father and mother started dating, due to reasons that I explained already, and they got married after that. I know, a nice story ain't it? And it only got better from there.
First came me, a healthy baby boy, and for the next six years, we were a happy family of three. Too bad that ended when I was six years old. My parents decided to have another baby, and it too was a son. The years of being a family of three were over, but now a family of four had been created. I loved my brother, and although he never got to know me much, I know that he loves me back.
My brother was a little like me, in fact, he showed signs of surpassing me. My parents were already using those education videos for babies, and he was already able to follow what the words said on the screen. I was never exposed to those when I was a baby, and I was happy that my brother was able to learn that quickly. It's a shame he never really got to know me.
I can't remember the exact date it happened, but it was probably one week after I went to the doctors. Just a few scans on my body, blood tests, eye exams, hearing tests, etc. Nothing seemed wrong at all, in fact, I don't think it has anything to do with how I got kidnapped. It was just that one unfortunate day I was walking home from school. Yeah, I lived close to my school and would walk there on occasions, and it just happened to be that one occasion that I was kidnapped. Just a couple of vehicles driving by, all of different colors. This neighborhood was quiet, so a kidnapping would kinda be noticeable. Not this one. I thought it was just on of the neighbors walking by, but what happened when we passed each other revealed that he wasn't from the neighborhood. A van, probably red or brown, had its door opening for some reason, and I never realized it, but all of them were from CEETO, including that stranger. He grabbed me and threw me in the van, where a bag went over my head and some funny smelling thing was shoved over my mouth and nose to knock me out.
I awoke about an hour or two later and found the bag was still over my head. I didn't know where I was, but I could tell that I was being carried over someone's muscular shoulder. My feet, which were facing the direction we were walking, had hit one of the doors on a pair of double doors and opened it courteously for the man who was carrying me into the room, but the door closed and hit against the side of my head as I was being carried by. I tried to move my arms, but they're bound together by something that felt like plastic. I tried to moved my legs, but they were bound together as well by something thin, but I couldn't tell what it was made of.
After being carried through another pair of double doors, I could tell that the room was dark as barely any light was seeping through the bag over my head. I was thrown onto the ground and someone had freed my arms and legs. I heard two other people talking around me and trying to get the bag off of my head, which they did immediately. I look at the two and they pulled me up to my feet, both of them were pretty nice people, and figured that this wasn't so bad. "Hi, I'm Nathan Fan. It seems that we've all been kidnapped."

There was a girl to the right, she was a bit shorter than me and younger, and she had white skin that was accompanied by short black hair and hazel eyes. The girl smiled at me, in which I returned a smile as well. "Yeah, but it seems that you were brought in differently." She extended her hand out towards me. "By the way, I'm Anne Fields. Nice to meet you, Nathan."

I extended my hand out and shook hers, she had a pretty strong grip for a girl. "Nice to meet you, Anne." I turned my head over to look at the guy who was standing to the left. He was taller and his arms were big for his size, a Hispanic boy with brown skin, very short light brown hair, and light brown eyes.

I--a young Asian kid with short black hair, tan skin that was noticeably lighter than his, and dark brown eyes--extended my hand out to shake his hand, which were crossed over his chest. His only response was a scoff and turning his head away. "How many more shorties are they going to bring in here?"

And hearing this made me confused as to why he had the attitude towards being kidnapped. "You seem awfully calm about being kidnapped. I mean, don't you hear about what happens to kid when they're kidnapped?"

"I couldn't care less." Was his response. "Besides, if I wanted to go with them, it wouldn't count as kidnapping. Especially if I knew why they were doing it."

"Yeah, I mean, it was strange at first, but they told me why and I actually went quietly." So apparently kidnapping wouldn't count towards these two, but I was definitely kidnapped. "But, yours was different than mine and Rick's." Jessica told me.

"If you guys wanted to go, then what's going on?" I asked. "Are we just candidates who were chosen for some special experiments?"

"Exactly, Mr. Fan." A voice that came out of nowhere had said. The owner of the voice had stepped out of the darkness and walked forward. He was a tall, African-American, gentleman with a thinning head and gray facial hair stubble. "Well, actually you are half right."

"How do you know me?" I asked him.

"We picked you for a reason. And knowing your name would help with what's going to happen." He said to me. "I am Roman Greenberg. Agent Watchdog would be better for you to remember."

"Wait, picked us for what?" I asked him back.

"I can't answer that fully. I'm just in charge of your well-beings." He extended his arm to the side and pointed into the darkness. "You have to ask the head of this organization."

We all looked at the direction he pointed, and it was nothing but dark in that area. I was starting to worry if this man's old age was getting to him. Suddenly, the lights had turned on in the room, and we found a man standing where we were looking. He was well-dressed, wearing a dark blue suit with a matching tie, dress shoes, but his features were a receding black hairline and a neatly groomed mustache with traces of gray hair. "Hello, agents. Welcome to CEETO, Classified Extensive and Experimental Training Organization. I am Frank Foresight."

Although I didn't know what classified meant, I knew that extensive was closely related to extend, and experimental was just an extended version of experiment with a similar meaning, and from watching TV allowed me to know what training was. "Agents? What's going on?" I asked him.

"I'm sure a smart kid like you can tell by just thinking about the names." He told me. "But, Anne might not know. So, I'll tell you. You've all been recruited into CEETO because of your physical statuses, and all three of you have met or exceeded the requirements." Some of these big words were confusing me a bit. "I know that you are concerned about your home, mostly you, Nathan, but not to worry, we have it under control. Now, as the name suggest, you, our new agents, will be undergoing extensive training and experiments to boost your physical abilities. I know it sound dangerous, but not worry as we have everything accounted for and have made necessary precautions." More big words for my young mind to try and fail to process. "And even though you're not in school anymore, we've taken care of that. Agent Watchdog is in charge of your education and pretty much when you are not in training or experiments."

"But, I don't want to do this! I want to go back home!" I demanded, just like how a normal boy my age would.

"Don't act so childish." He told me, which was ironic as I was a child. "You can't go back home anymore. We've already told you what we're doing and can't risk that information leaking out. Besides, we've never found worthy candidates like yourselves. We've already prepared everything for you, and we've already thrown away too much money to let that go to waste. So just deal with it and cooperate, it will make things easier on you. Now, Watchdog, please take agents Brick, Birdseye, and Phantom to their rooms."

Watchdog walked over to us and the first thing that was asked was by Anne. "What did he just call us?" She asked, confused as to why the names were given to each of them.

"Agent Phantom, which is you, Anne Fields. We'll explain more on why we gave you that name later." He then turned to me and Rick. "Nathan Fan, AKA Birdseye, and Ricardo Martinez, callsign Brick, both of you, along with Phantom, follow me. I'll take you to your rooms now."

Back to Reality

"Well, that pretty much wraps up my story. Mine was pretty long, if I tell you about Phantom or Brick then it's going to be pretty short. I mean, if I was writing a story, they would be in one chapter probably." I chuckled a bit at the joke and Drake did as well.

"You can tell about to two right now. It's not like I'm writing a book." He returned a joke, in which we both chuckled at.

XXXXXXXXXXChapter 3
XXXXXXXXXX[Their Stories]

Drake opened the huge folder that contained the smaller folders and spread them out in front of me. "Well, Mr. Fan, now that we're done with you, can we continue with the rest of your friends?" He asked me.

I nodded in return and added "Please, you don't have to refer to me as Nathan Fan, just call me by my callsign."

"Alright, Birdseye. You can start with your friend Phantom." He slid the folder forward and opened it before me, showing me that he had pictures of her when she was younger, teens, and one from a security camera after they escaped.

The one that caught my attention was the one from the security camera, these guys really knew a lot about us. "Well, there's no point in hiding anything since you all know so much already. Anne Fields, Female, 19, Caucasian--specifically, British, without an accent--Callsign: Phantom, exceeding in stealth." Now, I didn't experience her life before all of this, but she gave me very clear descriptions of what she remembered before she was kidnapped.
"It's actually a pretty sad story. See, she was an orphan. Her father walked out on her and her mother, and her mother had died in an accident. There were no ties to any of her family, so she ended up in a foster home. It wasn't that bad, it's just that there were so many people around and the place was always so loud. She wasn't stupid, though, she went to public school. She really wasn't bothered by this at all, almost as if her mother's death was nothing to her.
"She can't remember the date, all that she knew was that there was money donated to the foster home to get the children checkups at the doctors. About a month later, that's when she was kidnapped. She was walking home with some other kids from the foster home that she lived in when suddenly, she got separated from the group. A woman found her and dragged into her home, but in a nonviolent way that made it look like she was her mother. It was kidnapping, yes, but she actually was told that 'If you want a better life than this, then we'll take you in. You'll get all the education you need, you'll get whatever you want, and you'll grow into a strong young woman.' Now, the education wasn't something that appealed to her, but getting whatever she wanted had caught her attention, and she eagerly agreed to it. She was then taken back to CEETO, where you know what happens next."

Drake reached forward and pulled the folder back to him and closed it, then opening the one next to it and opening it up. "Alright, please continue with your friend Brick." He told me.

I nodded and leaned back in the chair, looking up at the ceiling. "Ricardo Martinez, prefers Rick, Male, 24, Hispanic, Callsign: Brick, exceeding in strength." The way I had talked about him, you would think that he is a person who doesn't like to talk about himself, but in fact, he opened up to us.
"A Hispanic boy growing up in a messed up family. His father was an alcoholic and mother was a smoker who was also abusive. He hated them, he hated his home, he hated everything about his life, and even at such a young age, he was already thinking of running away from home. Of course, he never did, where would he live if he did run away from home? So, he decided to try and tolerate it for as long as he could. He didn't go to the doctors regularly, but his school required that he go and get a physical examination and some vaccines that he never took. He wasn't too fond of the needles or being around doctors, but he dealt with it.
"About a few days after that, his father got too drunk and eventually started beating his mother and himself. He was already fed up with his mother being abusive, but now his father was as well, and he decided to run. Just run as far away as he could. And so he did. He didn't get too far, actually, he was grabbed by a guy that was driving a police cruiser. Being put in the back of the car, the man sitting next to him happened to be a guy working for CEETO, telling him that 'You've had a messed up life, but come with us and we'll be able to turn it around.' And he didn't hesitate to accept. And what happened after that, well, you know the rest."

Drake reached forward and pulled the folder back, closing the cover and then bringing forward another folder, this time, it wasn't one of my fellow assassins. "Please, go on."

I looked down at it, I didn't know much about his life before CEETO, I only saw him as a role model. "Roman Greenberg, Male, 64, African-American, Callsign: Watchdog, and as his name states, he's the one watching over us." Just a teacher, right? Nothing more than just to watch over us? Hell, no. He was nicer than anyone else that worked at CEETO.
"Roman Greenberg was the one who babysat us in our prepubescent years. He'd educate us, but was instructed to teach us at an accelerate rate. Every day there would be a lesson with just three days of break every month. Sounds horrible, especially for the kids of this time, but I was able to handle it pretty well. Brick, although struggling, found interest in the subject of engineering, I, excelling, studied anatomy and medicine, and Phantom, failing, gave up on the education, but was still forced to take math and English.
"When we weren't being educated, he'd watched over us during training and experiments. He'd decide if it was too much for us to handle, and all the decisions he's made has actually saved our lives. Of course, there were some dangerous decisions he's made, but all of them paid off, and that's why we can pilot, captain, drive, and/or commandeer nearly anything. He was more than a teacher to me, he was a father, and although he couldn't replace my real one, he actually made a good substitute. I swear, if it wasn't him there, then my time in CEETO would have been hell.
"Suddenly, there was the decision that he made that we should all be separated, and so we were, isolated from each other and letting the memories of each other drift away. I wondered why he did that, it only worsened the relationship between me and my team. We trained alone, we went through experiments alone, we watched Roman educate us over a huge screen in solitude. Eventually, after 9 years, we were brought back together. We all looked different from when we last saw each other, and not just from growing, but from the training and experiments. The muscle mass of Brick was bigger than any normal human male. Phantom gained near instantaneous reflexes, trained in acrobatics, and her footsteps were quieter than a rat scurrying across the floor. I had experiments done mostly on my brain that had given me increased senses, especially with my eyes, and also used a chemical to keep me more focused, allowing me to become an excellent sniper.
"We all had different moves, fighting styles, and our training was much different. I'd be trained with long ranged weaponry, and when in buildings I would become the one using all of the more complex equipment and designated to eliminate from longer ranges even with a pistol. Phantom, she'd be scaling the walls, the ceilings, sneaking around in the darkness, and pretty be anywhere that she wouldn't be seen. She was trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat and would take enemies out without a peep coming from them. Brick, however, was quite the opposite. He'd specialize with explosives and was already strong enough to outmatch anyone in hand-to-hand combat, unless it was Phantom, who was faster and they both would be an even match.
"When Roman decided to bring us back together, there was nothing but issues in nearly everything. We didn't trust each other enough to be doing drills together where our continuation lies within us working together. We even tried trusting each other, but just saying it didn't make it happen at all. Yes, Roman's idea of separating us was a bad one, but we did get closer to each other, and that's how we got out. Roman trained us better than he thought, and we used all of those skills to escape from CEETO." As I finished, a long pause came afterward.

"Interesting." Drake replied as he reached forward and brought the folder back over towards himself. "I'm actually more interested in your time in CEETO when you were younger. Do you mind telling me about that?" He asked.

"You've got me in this place with cuffs on my hands. You're gonna get it out of me anyways, especially with those guys pointing their guns at me."

"Ah, you don't have to worry. We're using less than lethal rounds. Taser rounds, beanbag projectiles, pepper balls, and rubber munitions." He assured me. "Now, just continue."

"Fine." I replied.
