Top Secret Mates - Abbie Davis (distant reading .TXT) 📗

as Buddy. Him and Jackey had a bond and like Buddy, Marco was the dominant male in the dolphin pod. I would do things with Marco like get him to jump through a hoop. And he did it out of his own will power.

I didn’t know how much I missed them. I missed getting into the water with them and goofing off. Going on our underwater rescues and saving the poor thing stuck in the fishing net. Everything about it.

I was only seven when Jackey left. And he did it a few days after the shark attack on me. I never saw him after that but always knew he was alright even when he didn’t come back from the mission. I just wished I knew why. Then when we were attacked I knew he would come back right then but never did.

“Why are you looking upset?”I heard Mason ask as I faced him.

“I’m just thinking about Jackey that’s all,”I answered as he nodded,”Why are you standing in the doorway?”

“I want you to come out,”He said as I went to him,”I got a surprise for you and someone I want you to meet.”

I nodded and walked with him out to the main part where I first saw him. I looked to see a woman that looked like him. She smiled at me as I knew she was a friend of my parents. I didn’t move though. I didn’t want him to know that I knew her.

“So your Maria,”She said as I nodded,”You seem so harmless and just a normal girl.”

“I am normally,”I said as she laughed,”You must be Mrs. Black.”

“I am,”She said sweetly,”But hurry and get into the car. Mason wants to show you something.”

I did as I was told and hid in the back seat. Mason was up front as I laid down on the back seat to make where no one could spot me. I soon felt the car spot and slipped on the things they brought to hid my true appearance. Mason took my hand and lead me onto the beach. I followed him to the water till it was to my knees.

I looked out and I saw him. I saw my Buddy jump out of the sea and act like he was hitting the ball on the ceiling. He’s gotten so big. I smiled as a tear rolled down my cheek. My pal and best friend was right here in front of me.

“Can we go farther,”I asked as he laughed.

“Mom,”He called as I saw the fin of something.

“Beach Mason,”I called pushing him in that direction,”Get to the beach.”

We ran there but it got my shoe. I kicked it in the nose and it let go of me. I ran there but saw a baby dolphin there alone. No you don’t. I ran back to the water edge and looked at Buddy. Please notice my voice pal.

“Buddy behind you,”I called and he turned around,”Save the poor thing.”

I watched as he took the shark out and looked at me. He swam close to the shore as he could. I went in till it was about my chest height. I looked at him as his mouth was about all of him the could reach me.

He gave me a kiss like he does before I leaned on him petting him. I let out a tear as he was looking for me all this time. I rubbed his flipper as he turned away from me.

“I’m fine Buddy,”I kept saying as I petted him,”I promise to be back as soon as I can. Just give me some time.”

He nodded his head as I said my goodbyes to him. I made my way back to shore with Mason as he looked happy about it. I looked at him hugging him tightly.

“Thank you,”I said with tears coming down my face,”Thank you for showing me my Buddy again.”

“You’re welcome,”He said holding me tightly,”I know he means a lot to you.”

I looked at him as my cell buzzed. I took it out and looked at a picture of him and Crystal the second dominant female and Buddy’s kind of girlfriend. I looked at him as smiled. He got me a picture of them.

“No thank you for that one now,”He said as I took my shoes off,”I’ll get you some new shoes later.”

“Yeah,”I laughed,”These were my only pair.”

We got back into the car and Mrs. Black drove us back to the cave. She left us there as we went back to that room. I walked in still wet but I don’t care. I reminds me of the old times with Buddy. When I would say I’m hot and then and wave of water hit me from him to cool me off.

“I’m staying with you tonight,”He said as I nodded,”Mom got dad to let me off for the day tomorrow.”

“Cool,”I said walking into the bathroom to shower,”I’ll be right back then.”

“Don’t take long I need one too,”He called as I laughed.

I got into the hot shower and let it warm my body up since that water was freezing cold. I got out fast and changed into some clothes he got for me. I walked out changed and he went in. Like me he soon walked out and we got into the bed. I laid my head on the pillow as his arm wrapped around my small body. 

Chapter 17- Minnie

I walked around everywhere but couldn’t find Mason. I looked at Jason as he hadn’t said a word about what was going on today. I went up to Director Black to see if I can get something out of him instead.

“Sir Where’s Mason today?”I asked as he looked at me.

“He has something to do today,”Was all he gave me.

I nodded and told him that I was going home for I had an ‘headache’. He agreed and I walked to the cave. I know about Mason’s hiding spot for when he doesn’t want to do anything today. I went up to it and found it unlocked.

I walked in to see him with a girl. I laughed and walked on in to see if I knew who she was. I watched him to make sure he wouldn’t catch me. I should take a picture of this to use as blackmail against him.

I took out my cell and put the camera as I made my way closer to her. When I could see her face I was met with…Maria Kingsley! I backed up dropping my phone on the ground. Mason looked at me with wide eyes before jumping up and slapping a hand over mouth. He took me out of the room shutting the door behind us.

He led me over the the couch with his stupid hand over my mouth. I looked at him as he seemed worry about something. What are you doing with her? And why are you worried about this? AND get you hand off of my mouth.

“I will answer all of that and remove my hand when you promise not to tell a single soul about what you saw or going to hear,”He said as I had mind linked my questions to him.

Whatever. I promise not to tell anyone about this.

“Good,”He said removing his hand.

“Now tell me,”I said as he looked in that direction,”Or I’ll drag someone here.”

“You’re evil you know,”He said looking at me,”Can’t I just protect someone I can’t live without.”

“She is her,”I said looking at him as he must have mentally facepalmed,”Why haven’t you told anyone you found her?”

“I told my mom,”He said looking at me,”And what would you think dad would do if I told him? For hey dad Maria the girl you asked me to hunt down is my mate. Sounds really nice thing to do.”

“He would put it off,”I said looking at him,”He wouldn’t take her in for that would be hurting you.”

“Yeah for hurting me is the last thing he wants to do,”He said looking upset about something,”For all those times he said that he wouldn’t cross the line and miss something big for me and breaks it sounds just like not hurting me.”

“He never made those,”I said looking at him shock,”That must hurts.”

“I’m scared he’s going to take her from me. That I’ll never get to see her again. She already hardly trust anyone. I don’t want her to get hurt more than she already has.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“She told me what really happened that day. I was even showed the video proof from it happening. She lost her family that day and so much more. She’s scared that she’s the last person from it all.”

I noded and he took me in there to see her. I walked in to her just getting out of the bed in some short shorts and a baby blue tank top. She looked like a normal girl and not some super chick that can break you hand off if she wants to.

“One time I only did that one time for he was in my face and I gave him the warning not to do that,”She said as I looked at her,”I mind linked Mason to ask him what was going on and heard that comment.”

“Oh,”I said looking not too excited now.

“But at least you don’t think I can harm you,”She said sticking her hand,”I’m Maria Kingsley or Agent 885.”

“Nice to meet you,”I said not wanting to anger her.

“I won’t hurt you,”She said sitting down,”I can barely do anything right now.”

“Why’s that?”I asked as Mason was at her leg.

“Got shot at,”She said as he was changing her bandaid.

I saw the wound on her leg. It wasn’t really that swollen or pink looking. But almost like she was recovering quite nicely. I watched Mason play doctor as he took care of her leg. It was really sweet of him to. I wish I had someone that would do that for me when I get hurt.

She smiled at him as he looked at her when he had finished it. He kissed the bandaid and she laughed at it. They were cute together. I wish some day Ricky, my five year old brother, would treat his girl like that and not how dad did to mom. Well when he was alive at that.

“So tell me something about you,”Maria asked looking at me,”For someone who holds herself higher than others must have some kind of back story.”

“I don’t really,”I said doing as what she pointed out,”Just got to keep up with my competition.”

“You know I don’t believe you right,”She said as I nodded,”I seem how interrogation works and I know how to get into people’s head. Just tell me the truth and I’ll believe it.”

“My dad,”I said as she nodded.

“An abusive father,”She said as I snapped my head toward her,”Told you that you were worthless I’m guessing. So you had to build yourself to show him that you weren’t. Then someone came a long and changed your life around. Most likely a younger sibling. You started to defend him/her from your father till he went after your mother. Soon you had enough and went after him. But he knew you would. So he chase you all the way to the beach. You went into the water to try and lose him but he was a stronger swimmer than you were.

“The two of you went farther
