Gifted

“Oh, no,” said the director. “The new principal, Ms. Sterling, works for us. She’s going to try to recruit the Gifted there. We want you to recruit from Slum City.”
“Slum City?” exclaimed Michael. “That’s pretty dangerous.”
“Yes, it is,” replied the director. “Most of our agents don’t last three days. But you were there for several weeks. We are confident that the two of you will thrive in that setting and we’ll be watching. So if anything bad does happen, someone will be there to back you up.”
“Let’s do it!” said Michael. He turned to Chrissy, grinning.
“Well…we did like living there,” said Chrissy, smiling back at him. “What would we do, exactly?” she asked the director.
“You would go back and work for Anna at the bakery, as undercover agents. Three evenings a week, you would come here to train. The rest of the time you would live, top-side, in Slum City. We would want you to try to get close to those Gifted who might be willing to work for our side and, when the time is right, offer them an ‘in’.”
Surely there can be no better way to be an Aylward, a protector of my kind, than by helping them choose good instead of evil.
Chrissy noticed her father standing in the doorway.
“I want to do it, Dad. What do you think?”
“I think,” he said slowly, with a smile, “that it is part of your destiny.”
