A man in a tuxedo walked in a table outside a coffee shop. Opposite to him was another man.

"You brought it?" the man asked.

The other man handed him a silver case. He opened it and it revealed a collar, and a cord.

"This is it? This is Astil?" the man in tuxedo asked, eyeing the other man.

"That's it. It may not seem that high-tech and stuff but it's high-tech enough."

"Really?"

The man in tuxedo took out another silver case and handed it to the man. "That's the Codex. We can't let the CIA, Interpol, nor Scotland Yard get their hands on it. Not even the Astil. This is our only key for world domination. The time of Libero is coming near. Nice doing business with you, Mr. White."

"To you as well, Mr, Brown."

Suddenly, several men came to their direction. The two knew who they were, these people were government agents.

"You two are under arrest."

The two looked at each other and immediately ran away. From afar, a woman dressed in black with blonde hair and brown eyes, was observing what was happening. She tapped her earpiece.

"They're on the run."

"Get them. We can't let them reach Libero, or even run a test with it." a masculine voice replied.

"Yes sir."

She dropped down the building using a harness, went in a car, and sped off. Back at Mr.'s White and Brown, they sped off the highway, trying to loose the people chasing them.

"We can't let them have either one or worse, both."

"I know. Give me that."

White took one of the silver cases and took out the Codex. "We have to do this." He opened the window and threw it.

"Are you nuts?"

"We have to do it! Now focus on driving! Get us out of here!"

The Codex soared in the sky and landed on a blonde headed girl. It hit her head and she stumbled on the road.

"What the-" she looked at what hit her and saw a pure back headphones. "Where did this come from?"

She studied it but she was cut off when, "Nica! Come on!"

"Yeah. Yeah." she took it and followed her friend.

Back at the chase. White and Brown reached a warehouse. They went in, fully knowing a certain blonde headed secret agent was following them.

"Well. Well. If it isn't my favorite criminals, White and Brown. You guys got really weird names."

"Look what we have here. Agent Thirteen."

"It's been fifteen years. You've thwarted Libero's plans before, but now, you won't."

"You're nothing but talk."

She landed a punch on Brown and a kick on White. The two was sprawled on the floor. Thirteen took the silver cases and opened it, only to find the other one missing.

"Where's the Codex and what does it look like?" she questioned the two and planted a foot on their backs.

"We're never telling you!" White retorted.

"We don't know where it is! We just randomly threw it out the window!" Brown laughed like a maniac.

Thirteen took two tasers and struck the two. They both fell unconscious. "We have a problem. The Codex is not here and the two won't tell me what it looks like."

A man appeared from the shadows. "How can they tell you when you electrocuted them until they were unconscious?"

"Director. Uh, yeah. But the Astil's here."

"Don't worry, we'll interrogate the two and find the Codex before it's too late. And probably, find out about Libero's plans." he paused."But Thirteen, are you sure about your decision?"

"Yeah. I got a family now, Director Orebil. I have to pay attention to them and make sure they're safe. This is be my last mission, I'm done. I'm retiring." the Director sighed.

"CIA will lose a good agent. I mean, you're the best we have in the agency."

"Nothing you say will change my mind Director. And, not a word about this to my family. My retirement's official."

"Whatever you say."

Some men in black suit went to the warehouse. "Take the two to headquarters and secure the Astil. Also, find the Codex!" the Director directed.

*****

Thirteen reached a house, well a mansion. She drove all the way from Connecticut, where she subdued Brown and White, to Long Island, New York, where she and her family live. The house got blue paint and a veranda, there were also balconies on each floor, as well as a huge lawn. She parked her car in the garage and went in the house. A man in a military uniform with black hair in a buzz cut and piercing blue eyes, greeted her.

"Hey dear." the man said and kissed her.

"Hey. Where are the kids?"

"Upstairs."

They suddenly heard yells.

"They're fighting again." they went upstairs and saw their teenage quadruplets arguing.

"No, just sometimes!"

"I found it! It's mine!"

"You two shut up!"

"Stop that!"

The two just face-palmed. They watched the four who looked exactly alike; blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. There were two boys and two girls.

"Ayayay."

"They're a troublesome bunch."

"Hey we didn't expect it. And besides, no one said: 'Hey! Four kids at once!' or something like that."

"Shut it George and stop the four of them!"

George, stepped in the argument and was able to silence the four. "Carmen, they're silent."

"I heard that. Now, what seems to be the problem? Niche? Nis? Nica? Nico?" Thirteen, which was Carmen (her real name), questioned the four.

"Nica found a pair of black headphones and it looks awesome!" Nico answered and was slightly pouting.

"We were just asking her if she can lend it to us sometimes, but she's refusing." Nis added.

"I tried stopping the three mom, I swear." Niche also said, well, she was the eldest of the four.

"Nobody told you to stop us!" Nis exclaimed.

"It's my responsibility! I'm the eldest!"

"By four seconds!" the three yelled.

"Hey! I learned a lot in those four seconds!"

And they began arguing, again. Carmen and George face-palmed once again.

"Okay! Stop it! Nica, show me the headphones." Nica handed her a pure black headphones. "Where did you find this?"

"At school."

"Why didn't you gave it back to its owner?"

"Nobody came and looked for it. So, it's mine." Nica snatched the headphones back.

"You should give it back." George said, in his best military voice.

"No way! This headphones' so cool! Finder's keepers. Loser's weepers!" and with that, she stormed out of the room.

"Nica!" Nis and Nico called.

"Oh, let her be!" Niche told them and went out of the room too.

"Mom!/Dad!"

"Go to your rooms! Dinner's in twenty minutes."

The two went out of the room. Carmen just took a deep breath and sighed. George comforted her.

"Come on. They'll make up anyway." George assured her.

"I don't know George. They never got along! Well except those times when they plan on something, but that's it!"

"They're teenagers, hon. They're in their crucial stage of life, they'll get along. Come on. I missed your cookings." he kissed her.

"Fine."

They kissed one last time and they went downstairs.
