“BENNY!” Ben huffed as he awaited his brother in his office. He needed a distraction. His newest blueprints just weren’t making sense. He couldn’t figure it out and he needed a break. He knew he’d never walk away on his own.

Ben was trying to tend to his mother’s roses as he talked with his twin. “Ow!” He stuck his finger in his mouth. Again. He kept pricking himself with the thorns. He always did while tending to the roses. His small hands didn’t fit the gardener’s gloves.

“I wish the staff trimmed these properly…” He complained. Again. He always said that at least once while tending to the bushes. He was right though. They neglected the roses since she died. Other than keeping them shaped, they never trimmed the dead pieces anymore. Being in the back of the garden they were left to die. And they would have already if it weren’t for him and Benny.

He opened his mouth to continue their conversation but was interrupted by a crash closer to the pond. It sounded like a jock had trampled through the hedge.

“What was that?”

Amanda needed a break. This last long term mission was exhausting and she hurt. She planned to ask for a vacation as payment for this one.

Even though she’d probably spend most of it around there, it wouldn’t be on duty and that’s what mattered.

She was heading towards Father’s office when she got a sudden chill before turning a corner and running right into... FATHER?! “I am so sorry, sir! I didn’t see... why are you cold?” Wait... He didn’t look right. The color. 

She internally just button mashed before getting her thoughts together. “Apologies. I didn’t mean to run into you. I’m Amanda. Is Father in his office?”

Of course she was much more aware of her surroundings than most other teens, even Teen Ninjas. One of the reasons Father trusted her with stealth missions like the last one. Especially lately, since her reports have been increasingly more detailed over the last few months.
