New Life : A Second Chance

Kyle slowed down his jog, walking leisurely along the corridors.

He made a show of looking everywhere diligently, opening doors of the manager's rooms and shining his flashlight into it without entering.

His mind was busy comparing what he was looking at while noting in his mind the minute changes the rooms had. It wasn't that he was looking for anything specifically, but merely honing and training himself.

And planting bugs, of course.

Rex Industries had its own internal server, which made it hard for Team Zero to crack through without a proper backdoor. For now, all the hacking and infiltration was being done by Team Zero so as to allow Kay to focus on her studies.

Kyle didn't want her life to be too mixed up with his old life, so he intended to keep her out of this issue in these two years. The foundation had to be built up and then, together, they can deal with the issue as it came.

In truth, the fight with Patrick had given him this golden opportunity and he was grateful for it. He wasn't really angry at him anymore but neither was he going to back down and go back.

A smirk formed on Kyle's face as the thought of the frustration Patrick must be under in his failure to locate him. It became a game to him now, and he was enjoying it to the fullest. Pitting his mind against his father.

He had to admire Patrick's tenacity and vigilance, in trying to track him down. Trying to intimidate Sam, following them all of the Elite Five around and so forth. There was absolutely no guilt on Kyle's part about him keeping away from Patrick, for it wasn't like he was not keeping in touch.

The 'snail mail' method had been a change from what he originally promised his mother. Emails would just too troublesome to keep masking, so physical letters were what worked better. All he did was place his mail to his mother in one envelope, then placed that in another envelope to mail to one MIB agent.

The address to Country Tz was a P.O. Box address that he had rented on a long term basis, fully paid in cash for three years. So even if Patrick knew it had been him to rented it, there was no way for him to be traced.

After all, the address Kyle put was the Smith Residence.

Kyle jogged the entire length time of the surveillance, which took him about 45 minutes. By the time he reached back down, he found Dan waiting for him.

"Yes, Sir?" Kyle approached him politely.

Dan observed the young man in front of him seriously. Despite that vigorous exercise, he was not out of breath.

"Rex," Dan said, "You've been doing a fantastic job and I've decided you will be shifted to another division."

"Sir?" Kyle looked puzzled. It sounded like a promotion of some sorts but what was this about another division? Also, would that affect his ability to spy on the place?

"But Sir, wouldn't that make others unhappy? I've not even been here for a year yet."

Dan waved his hand in front of him, "Of course they would be unhappy. That's even better. You've been spoiling them too much anyway. They are all getting fat."

Kyle laughed softly at that, understanding.

"And you don't have to worry," Dan assured him, "It's still the night shift. I know you are studying still, so that won't affect you at all."

"Thank you, Sir!" Kyle said, giving him a salute.

"Oh, stop that," Dan replied, saluting him back. Dan had been ex-military and Kyle started giving him salutes out of respect.

"You'll start next month," Dan told him, "And your pay will rise accordingly."

Kyle's eyebrow rose up at that. A pay rise? That would mean that his job scale went up the notch. So he would be given a different type of job, and that would entail higher risk.

"It's basically the same as what you're doing now," Dan explained, "But you're now transferred to the top-level floors."

Kyle couldn't help but give a huge grin at that.

To Dan, it appeared like he was extremely happy ... which, of course, Kyle was. But not for the reason Dan thought it was.

It wasn't because the post gave him a much higher pay, but because Kyle now had one problem solved.

He didn't need to sneak into the top floors anymore.

While Kyle was busy with his own things, there was one particular girl that hadn't quite given up on him just yet.

On the outside, Sarah appeared to be extremely calm and rational.

She handled the rejection well, and even when Kyle left the school, she hadn't made a fuss. She even made her own announcement on the PoK page, stating that she, and everyone in PoK, fully supported Kyle's decision and move.

"It is time for him to spread his wings and fly. We, at PoK, have always supported him wholeheartedly."

With that announcement, Sarah's reputation went up even more. She was the most understanding and supportive of all of Kyle's followers.

Sayuri, who had seen this, made a decision then to keep a close eye on Sarah.

Now, 8 months later, she knew she had made the right choice.

She used this as a training mission to observe Sarah's movements and make her own detailed study concerning the development of a particular behaviour. It was both fascinating and a little bit creepy, to see how this seemingly normal girl becomes so obsessed over someone.

Sayuri was shaking her head while looking through Sarah's scrapbook that she had found.

All of it was filled with pictures of Kyle. Some taken from the Insta, some were cut-outs from magazines, some were pictures from a phone.

Whoever ended up with Kyle had to be strong enough to handle this.

Sayuri wondered whether the ex-girlfriend from his previous mission was this bad.
