Jade Nikia

We drove for a few minutes before arriving at what I assumed was the resort that Chris had mentioned. We drove into the gate and stopped in a parking lot in front of the main building.
"Stay here," said Chris. He got out of the car and walked into the building followed by the old man from the other car.
Jade Nikia stayed behind. She walked around the parking lot some, and then started walking towards where I was. Once she reached the car she opened the door and sat down in the driver's seat next to me.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi, uh, Miss Nikia," I said, more than a little uncomfortable.
"Call me Jade," she said, smiling. "So you're the kid everyone's talking about. It's great to finally meet you."
I wasn't sure what to say. After an awkward silence, she spoke to me in a lower voice.
"Look," she said. "I know you probably don't have a clue about what's going on. I'm sorry you have to go through all this trauma. But there's more on the line here than you can imagine." She turned, as if to make sure no one was around. "Also, you need to be careful around Chris. He's a good guy, but he's a control freak. He's only supposed to play a small part in this, but he isn't content unless he knows everything."
I cut her off. "What part is he supposed to play?"
"Well," she said, "he's supposed to gather information and pass it on to his superiors. Unfortunately, he sometimes tries to decide what action to take without consulting others."
"And what part do you play?" I asked.
"I play sort of the same part," she said, "only it's a little more," she paused searching for the right word. "Interactive."
"You mean you're a double agent?"
She laughed. "And remember one other thing. Try not to be too smart. Anything else you need to know?"
I thought for a moment. "What part do I play, Jade?"
She looked at me for a while. "I don't know yet," she said. "I don't know what you're doing here. Chris is probably the only guy who knows why you're so valuable. And you'll have a hard time learning anything from him."
Just then, Chris walked out of the building.
"Well," Jade said, "I guess I'd better go. It was nice talking to you."
"Yeah, you too," I said as she got out of the car. After a moment Chris opened my door.
"Alright," he said, "you can get on out now. What were you and Jade talking about?"
"Not much. When do we eat?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
Chris laughed. "Soon enough," he said. "Help me unload the luggage."

We split up into two cars. Jade and the other guy were in one and Chris and I were in another. I was slightly disappointed with this arrangement, as I was hoping to get to talk with someone other than Chris. It had been a while since I had really talked with somebody. It seemed Chris couldn't talk about anything for very long. But since he was the only person near me at the time, I decided to try and start a conversation.
"So. Who exactly is Jade Nikia?"
"Just a colleague of mine," was all he said.
A few seconds passed. I decided to ask him something I'd been meaning to ask him for a long time.
"What's that memory chip that you made for, and how did it end up with me?"
"Well," he said, "the chip itself holds coded information. Very valuable information that I stumbled across. I gave the chip to a couple of our agents who were supposed to hold it for us. They were supposed to find an obscure location and hide. Well, they somehow found out what was on the chip and decided to get rid of it and disappear.
"Fortunately, they contacted me first. I gave them directions with what to do with the chip. They were to leave it with another agent that would take their place. From what I can figure, they got confused and left it in the wrong house. Either that or they didn't receive my directions and decided to just leave it wherever.
"Anyway, as soon as I found out that it was missing, I enabled the tracking device. I was about to come get it when I found out you were taken by the enemy."
It seemed like a logical explanation, but I felt like there was something he wasn't telling me.
Oh, well, I thought. I'll think about it later. It looks like we're getting close to a town.

When I heard him mention that we were going to a resort, I assumed that we would be end up at the Halekuni Resort. I didn't want to say anything, though, since I hadn't told Chris about the paper that I found, and I didn't know how to explain it to him. He would probably ask me why I hadn't told him about it, and what else I knew that I hadn't told him. His friendship had really helped me out so far, and I didn't want him to be suspicious of me. So I kept quiet.
We got into the small airplane. I sat in the copilot's seat, but was told not to touch anything. Chris was able to fly the plane himself, and soon we were flying over the ocean. I remembered that Hawaii was made of several different islands, and I figured that we were going to one of them. That's when I realized that we couldn't be going to the Halekuni Resort. The Halekuni was near Honolulu, and we'd just left from there. I turned to Chris.
"Where did you say we were going?" I asked.
"A small resort on the Kauai Island," he said, "in a town called Kapaa. It's come to my attention that there's going to be a meeting of different enemy agents that will take place in a hotel somewhere in the Hawaiian Islands, and there's been rumors of some activity in Kapaa, so I'm going to check it out."
The rest of the flight was spent in relative silence. Chris seemed to be preoccupied by the plane, and I was thinking furiously. I hardly even noticed the plane landing. We touched down in a field very similar to the one we had taken off from. We got out and were greeted by two people. One was a man, probably around 60 years old, and the other was a lady who looked to be in her early twenties. Chris shook hands with them and they all greeted each other like they were old friends. The lady turned to me.
"And who is this?" she asked.
"Oh, this is Sam," Chris said. "Sam, this is Jade Nikia."
