I walked to work the পরবর্তি দিন with my head in the air. I never felt better in my life--I couldn't believe that my mother actually fell for the phony note.
I opened the door to my boss's office. "Mr. Anthony, I got the note signed দ্বারা my mother. What's next?" I sat down in the plastic chair in front of his desk.
He dug through his ডেস্ক and pulled out a black suitcase. "The task begins," he announced, handing it to me.
My হৃদয় stopped. I felt the cool texture of the black leather under my palm. "What's inside?"
"Your suit, a camera, notepad, laser pen, and a bar for defense," he counted these off his fingers. "Now suit up and come back when you're done."
I hustled to the bathroom and into the stall. I flicked open the golden switch and the case opened. A black suit was nicely folded inside it.
"Wicked," I muttered, changing clothes.
On my thigh, there was a long black pouch. I assumed it was for the metal bar. I slid it inside, and put the rest of the materials in the other pockets.
When I returned, Mr. Anthony added a walkie-talkie to my supplies. "We need to keep in touch during your mission."
He turned around and flipped a ঝিলমিল down his window. On it, was a map of ডিজনি Manor, the one place where all the ডিজনি couples lived out their lives.
He pointed a stick at the entrance. "Never, EVER enter through the entrance, unless they've caught আপনি and আপনি need to run." He slid the pointer toward the শীর্ষ of the manor, where a window was left open. "This is the security room, where আপনি will enter. আপনি have to make sure আপনি turn off all the cameras, so nobody will see আপনি snooping around."
I nodded. "Got it."
He raised an eyebrow. "The objective of this mission is to take as many pictures of the couples and লেখা info about them on the notepad. But don't let your guard down. We're going up against 14th century weaponry."
"You mean swords and arrows, right?" For some reason, I wasn't scared at all. "You should've প্রদত্ত me a gun."
He scoffed. "Like I'd trust a 16-year old with a gun. Right." He thrusted a set of keys at me. "This car is bulletproof, which means it could handle swords and arrows too. It also has a built-in GPS system, in case আপনি get হারিয়ে গেছে on the way."
I frowned. "I won't."
He patted me on the shoulder. "Coming from an adult, please be careful, Jeannette. Be very aware of your surroundings. And NEVER underestimate women with beautiful গান গাওয়া voices."
"Um, okay?"
He shoved me out the door. "Good luck, Thomas." He saluted me. "Godspeed."
I saluted back. "Thanks so much, Sir." And with that, I left.

And so began the biggest adventure of my LIFE.
