Keona’s POV
“John Charles Daniel McForbes, he’s the son of our Intelligence Analyst Letizia Van Rhineburg!” She answers me excitedly.
“Wait, so your uncle G’s protege is Analyst Van Rhineburg, and her son is John Charles Daniel McForbes?”
I stopped Felicita and asked her again. She nods her head with much certainty. “Interesting.” I commented.
“I know who am I settling on but first and foremost. I need you to bring me his profile so I can learn more about him.”
I tell Felicita using my highlighter to indicate who I wanted under me. Felicia was shocked when she gets back the paper.
“You sure you only want one person under you?”
She asks me uncertain with my choices. “One person under me is surely more than enough. I’m already hands full of mostly underage children at home.” I nodded my head, very certain with my answers.
“I’m not in for rocket science or child care with my husband been so away now with his job.”
I continued. “I’m sure there be other protege you will go for also like Agent Harley, Agent Lee, Agent Kowalska.” Felicita tells me softly.
“Just tell me how this John guy is like.” I then asks Felicita, interested to know more about this new rookie with an interesting connection background.
“John Charles Daniel McForbes is a hardworking, humble guy despite of his affluent background though seem very introverted and likes to be alone during break times.”
Felicita then explains. “Affluent and alone?” I asked her, taken aback slightly by the description she has given me.
“His father Daniel Ferdinand McForbes was the Deputy Investigating Officer of the LAPD under Chief Anthony Hughes while you already know about his mother Letizia van Rhineburg working under my uncle G.”
Felicita starts explaining. “If that ain’t affluent enough, his parents were once trained under the late Paul Hesse-Millers.” She continues like a bed time story.
“The late Paul Hesse-Millers?”
I looked at her and suddenly the name rings to me as a short flashback of Luke and I before we get married came into my mind.
~FLASHBACK~
“Paul Hesse-Millers is really a pity to see him go with a heart failure. He’s one of the greats in the police department!”
~•••~
“There has been an ongoing joke about John being the reincarnation of the late Superintendent Hesse-Millers.”
Felicia quietly adds onto me. “Oh well if it’s because John is born on the same year as the late Superintendent’s passing then I kindly suggest you to find a way to stop this unpleasant jokes going on.” I suggest to her.
“It was already been joked in the family though much?” Felicia scratches her head telling me.
“Then what stays in the family, should keep in the family. We are nobody to carry on all these miseries that are kid’s play here.” I answer to Felicita throwing a paper plane I have made into the basketball net.
“So you confirm only one protege?”
She asks me again. “Don’t make repeat twice Feli.” I smile nodding my head. “Of course, have a nice day.” Felicita quietly smiles running out so I can continue on whatever I am up to.
John’s POV
“Where’s Instructor Siracusa at?”
Timothy asks whilst we are assembling ourselves in our usual positions. “It is unusual for her to be appearing after us all.” Angelina continued scrunching her nose
“It is SO SO not her~”
Harold popped from behind and sassily replied to what Angelina and Timothy are talking about, causing the two to roll their eyes at him.
“Yeah yeah yeah whatever~”
He responds back by rolling his eyes back at them. I was really minding my business until I heard a soft giggle which caught my attention.
I turned around to see a blue-eyes, slender, with walnut-coloured hair and sweet cherry lips, petite looking lady giggling at what happened.
‘That’s a pretty girl, why didn’t I notice her before?’
I swallowed my own saliva as I see this fellow rookie giggling still which didn’t impress Timothy one bit.
“Stay out of my business”
Timothy was not impressed and about to lunge at the lady until I just used my back to block him which is easy since I’m only taller than him by some few inches.
“T-Thanks…”
She softly thanked me. “No worries there.” I reassured her as she bowed and went to her position.
“What are you doing Recruit McForbes?!”
Timothy asks me with a duck pout. “Just be quiet and get back to your position please Recruit Lee” I quietly yet menacingly tell Timothy formally.
“Okay okay you win”
Timothy gives in as we went back to our positions while waiting for Instructor Siracusa at for what is going on today.
-10 Minutes Later-
“Good morning recruits”
Instructor Siracusa has arrived with arms to her back as usual after another 10 minutes of waiting.
“GOOD MORNING MAM!”
We all greeted loudly at the same time which got her smiling unusually, impressed. ‘Did something happen?’ I think to myself as I noticed her smile.
“Great energy we’re having today!”
Instructor claps her hands happily. “Cause from next week onwards, I won’t be teaching you guys so have this energy while you can.” She rubs her hands with a smirk.
This got everyone of us shocked and many emotions. Some of us not knowing whether we should laugh or cry at what Instructor Siracusa has just said.
“Ermmm can we know why Mam?”
Angelina raises her hand up asking Instructor out of curiosity.
“Simple, the Chief has already seen all of your skills enough that he evaluated that you all should be assigned to various of apartments here as protégés to from the Forensics, to Criminal Investigation, to even being protégés to the Deputy Chiefs themselves.”
Instructor Siracusa starts explaining to everybody with a grin on her face as all of us are trying to mentally absorb the very most recent fresh piece of news into our minds.
I bet she’s the happiest person now that we’ve only one week left with her so she can whoop the next batch of rookies up.
“Regardless of it, I wish all of you good luck in your future endeavours. And regardless, this period teaching you all has been very fun for me.”
She smiles as she continues on what she’s saying to us about what is about to happen next week.
“But before we proceed with today’s training. I think it’s of your very own best interest and welfare to prepare you all here to where you will be heading for. So whoever I call out, you will come forward and form a team.”
She adds on in which Ilir raised his hand up before she could proceed on, just to answer his question.
“Yes Recruit Koleka?”
She then turned to Ilir, asking him. “Just wondering Mam, so can we still contact you even after we go to our assigned department?” Ilir asked which got everybody cracking up including Instructor herself.
“Good question but it’s unlikely I will answer.”
Instructor Siracusa answers him savagely which got us laughing even more for the next 10 minutes.
-10 Minutes Later-
The joke is over and it was the first few recruits to know who they will be under from next week onwards.
“Whoever is under this first one, you will love whoever this person is cause she’s friendly, sweet & quite the ‘dream’ girl is many ways.”
Instructor Siracusa begins her usual descriptive talk that whoever survives through her long descriptive talk, will have been spared the misery of her punishments.
“Marie Joan Lockett, from the Forensics Department. Just don’t flirt with her for goodness sake y’all gentlemen out there, unless you want a taste of martial arts or dying to go to the Medical Department.”
She then starts talking about the first agent who happens to be quite a no-nonsense woman from the sounds of it.
And a taste of martial arts…women these days can NEVER EVER be underestimated, not even the slightest.
“Diane Jane Raussen, Nicolette Harris, Nigel Aubrey, Salina de Miguel, Ariel Mendoza.”
She calls out the name as one by one step forward in front of Instructor Siracusa herself.
“Good luck for next week with Officer Lockett, I hope I don’t receive any complaints.”
She tells them, looking at them dead in the eyes before dismissing them back to their lines.
“The next one…I believe….whoever sticks with him, good luck. Just don’t fall for him, he’s on his way to become the Henry Tudor of FBI.”
She goes on about the next one which my mind already knew who. “His previous wives are either divorced or dead under the solid ground, who will even want him?” Timothy whispers to me.
“That shows he is either irresponsible or unlucky, hopefully he isn’t searching for his Catherine Parr.”
Ilir joins in commenting to Timothy in which both giggled. I just didn’t join in knowing what’s to happen if I do.
“Rachel Rivera, Laura Micaela Padilla, Gabriel Antioch, Jean Tyrol, Alice Navarro, Louis Antioch, James Lee, Jordan Bradfield”
Instructor Siracusa continues with the next batch and I can see nobody is excited about especially Laura who is literally quietly cursing and swearing to herself which Instructor won’t catch on.
“Isn’t Recruit Padilla Puerto Rican? Heard the Henry Tudor loves to bully the Puerto Ricans.”
This time is Jadwiga whispering to Timothy and Eva. “And he gets to keep his Assistant to Deputy Chief on while increasing the statistics of how many Puerto Ricans he has forced out of the FBI.” Eva whispers agreeing.
“Bet 30 she is about to become the stats in no time.” Timothy adds on quietly which got Instructor glaring at the three not impressed.
“Recruit Lee, Recruit Kowalska, Recruit Harley, to my office after training.”
She says to them three with a menacing tone in which them nod their heads understanding that they are now in trouble with her.
-15 Minutes Later-
“Now, this one is interesting and whoever this person under this newly promoted, hopefully you don’t waste your luck away.”
Instructor Siracusa now proceeds to the last of the last after many have known their designated superiors to work under.
Emotions jumping since I’m now one of the only few left that isn’t under anybody. I feel alright yet scared at the same time, I neither want to be a rookie recruit again, neither I also want to stick with Instructor Siracusa.
‘Who could it be?’
I think to myself as everybody begins talking who is this officer be.
“Newly promoted? I heard recently they promote a new Deputy Chief, they called her the Shy Bull.”
I heard Timothy starting to comment again quietly yet sneakily as always despite what had happened just now.
“Yeah…she’s a HOT contender to be the next Chief, being Deputy Chief already confirms it doesn’t it?”
Harold joins in the chatter gossip between Timothy and Ilir adding on. “I will CASTRATE myself to be the lucky one!” Ilir adds on.
“John Charles Daniel McForbes”
Instructor Siracusa calls my name and I immediately responded, walking forward and saluting to her.
“Congratulations, you’re the lucky one. You will be under Deputy Chief Shyden from next week onwards.”
