“What did you do!?” the former Dean of Blackwood Academy yells, spittle flying out of his mouth, as he storms into the leader of Black X’s office.

“What are you talking about, old man?”

“Graduation was supposed to be today. I went. No one was there. Nothing was there.”

“Due to a situation, graduation was held yesterday. You must not have gotten the memo.”

“Where are my students? What did you do?”

“I did what I had to.”

“Tell me where they are!”

“They are dead,” the leader says.

The fear of this has been sitting in his stomach since he arrived at the school to find it not only empty, but completely cleansed. He knew the school would be closing, but the current students had still been living there.

“Why? Why did you have me train them only to kill them? They could have helped us here like the other graduates have!”

“I’m afraid the other graduates along with the staff are dead as well.”

“You wiped out most of our organization?” Tears fill the old man’s eyes. Spies aren’t supposed to get emotionally attached, but he isn’t a spy anymore. He had become like a father to those young men and women. He had taken pride in their advancement.

“We can only afford to have those who we explicitly trust.”

“Who does that even leave us with? A concierge, an anthropologist who likes to shop, a decrepit spy, a couple hackers, and The Ghost? How are we supposed to run an operation with so few?”

“You forgot to mention Aristotle and Huntley. The rest of them have served their purpose and had to be eliminated.”

He touches a photo on the leader’s desk. “She would be ashamed of what you’ve become.”

“They killed her because of me—because of the mission I sent her on—and I will do whatever it takes to destroy them.”

“Wouldn’t it just be easier to let the Ghost kill them?”

“Their plot runs deep. Cutting off the head of the snake will not cause it to die. It will simply rise again in another form.”

“Does X know?” he asks. “Those were her friends.”

“You trained those young men and women admirably. You taught them to survive on their own. She does not know the fate of her former classmates, and she must never find out.”

“I quit,” the Dean says.

“You owe me your life. I could have let you go to graduation and suffer the same fate.”

“So it’s come to this? You don’t even trust me?”

“I do trust you. That’s why you are still alive. And I need you to continue to monitor her. She trusts you.”

“So you’re only keeping me alive because I’m useful?”

“Yes, and you would be wise to remember that fact.”
