WW5 Ch. 2

"What?"1

"Well, if we were to get married, there would be certain advantages. The rooms here are divided into singles and couples. The married couples are given rooms without cameras, and they are not required to attend 'school' everyday."2

"Can I just ask you why you picked me?"3

"Sure." He bowed deeply and whispered my WW5 name into my ear. Then he got on his knee like he was proposing, and spoke the words that I had never heard, save for in the WW5 headquarters, and from my father.4

"You've known all this time?"5

"Of course I have."6

"Does anyone else know?"7

"No, they all just think you're another 'delinquent."8

"Are you a member?"9

"Yes, member number 7518915, code name: Adam."10

"How appropriate. Member number 3040876, code name: Eve. Nice to meet you."11

After a few seconds, I sat down on the couch. I had to plan a strategy for this one. This was not part of the plan, but it was a good twist. If I was to marry, then I would have more freedom. He would have to be named my second in command, but it would be nice to have a bit of help from someone under the age of 134. 12

I remembered hearing my father talk about code name Adam. He was supposed to be brave, and handsome. My father always told my nanny that he would make a good marriage for me. I guess Father was right.13
