The end of day came quickly, an email sat on her terminal that taunted her all day. Once class was over. She shot Donta a stare that made him sit back down and she finally was able to open the email.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">From:<br/>To: Agent Wolfcub<br/>Subject: Mission Briefing: PRO145739 Code name: Equilibrium<br/><br/>Mission Objective:<br/><br/>Protect subject known as Donta.<br/><br/>Mission Details:<br/><br/>Subject will be attending your school and class this year. May be subject to danger from terrorist or Anti Feral extremists. Subject is known as the only stable offspring of a Feral and Human. This information is to be kept as top secret information with clearance of the highest level. Because of your position, you have been granted clearance as an exception.<br/><br/>You are to maintain your cover as you fulfill this mission. You may tell the subject of your awareness of his secret, but do not compromise your position at the Academy.<br/><br/>Please read this mission briefing thoroughly as it will be permanently deleted after closing. </span><br/><br/><br/><br/>She was always able to read things close to the fastest speed reader in the world, but this time she read it one word as a time. She glanced up at him in disbelief, but kept a straight face. The door chime chirped and she quickly closed the email, seeing his mother at the door. She had sent her an email at lunch for her to meet, but didn't say what about.<br/><br/>Donta looked miserable. His mother gave him a pill and he rested his head in his arms again, no doubt a headache of some kind. Standing up, she circled the desk, drawing her finger around the edge as she walked. Taking a seat on the desk, she crossed her legs and fixed her skirt, then leaned over to speak.<br/><br/>"Thanks for coming, Miss Raine." she said, "I would like to discuss with you an important issue with your son.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"What did he do now?" she asked, her demeanor changing to that of concern and worry.</span><br/><br/>"Nothing of concern. What I want to talk to you about is not about what he did, but what he is." she said. Raine's face went white and her hands visibly began to shake. Donta sat up straight and gripped his desk, making Wolfcub jump for a moment at his sudden movement. She saw him sway for a moment as she assumed his headache just got worse.<br/><br/>"Calm down. I'm here to help you." she said, "I just want to tell you both that your secret is safe with me and there may be some 'resources' I have that can make your lives here easier."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Like what?" Raine asked, her eyes narrowing. </span>This was hard to explain without telling them of her connection to the government.<br/><br/>"Protection, funding, transportation. Whatever you need really." she said, "Whatever Donta needs just let me know."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Why are you helping me?" Donta asked, "How did you find out?" Wolfcub's mind quickly thought up an excuse.</span><br/><br/>"Your file has been forwarded from your previous school and the school nurse updated it from your original file at the Hospital in your hometown. She thought it would be best to advise me of your 'situation'."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"None of Donta's previous teachers ever had to be informed of what he is." Raine said sharply, "What makes this school any different? Is it that dangerous for him here? Perhaps it would be safer if we moved again."</span><br/><br/>"The only reason I was appointed to watch over him was because of the recent terrorist activity in the city. The authorities have no idea who is involved or even what age they are." Wolfcub said, "He would be safer here under my eye than any other Feral school in town."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"You were appointed?" Raine asked, "By who?" Wolfcub sighed.</span><br/><br/>"The government." she said, "The reason you had such a hard time finding information about me, Donta, is because I'm an agent." She saw a slight smile form on his lips and he huffed, stifling a laugh.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Seriously?" he asked, sarcastically, yet it would make much sense. Most of his leads he found while hacking lead to government websites and data centers, where he wouldn't dare touch the firewall.</span><br/><br/>"Yes. I'm sure you're rather good at keeping secrets, right?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. It was true she was taking a huge risk here, exposing herself against orders. It was the first time she went against them. But there was no way she would be able to protect him while trying to keep her secret. It would be alot easier this way. It made sense logically.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"So you're some kind of secret agent working as a Teacher in your spare time?" Donta asked.</span><br/><br/>"This is also an assignment." she said, "You've seen my record. It explains my various absences." Standing she straightened her dress and paced to the window, "I've just received this bodyguard position as well, yet I hope nothing really happens. This is just a precaution because of the recent events."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"So the government has decided to get involved with our lives?" Raine asked, "Why has it taken this long? Donta has been in danger before."<br/></span><br/>"These terrorists are that serious." she said, turning around. "The Government and the local authorities are having alot of trouble trying to flush them out. We don't even know who the leader is."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"So you'll watch him at school. What about while he's home? Are you going to live with us too?" Raine asked.</span>Wolfcub smiled.<br/><br/>"No. That would look bad to the other students." She said, then thought for a moment, "In this case, they may deploy a sentry for you."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Sentry?" Donta asked.</span><br/><br/>"Classified." she said, "Since I was issued this mission today, you should get a sentry tonight sometime. You'll know it when you see it."<br/><br/>Letting Donta and his Mother out the door, she returned to her terminal and logged into the government database through an encrypted connection. Medical information for Donta flashed across her screen and she started to study his past, just like she did with every other subject she had to protect, however this time, she felt concerned.
