Chapter 17 - Mission 03

"So who is their target this time?"

"A politician, Mr. Owen." *Showing picture

"..."

"Tonight, he will attend the meeting between politicians around the world. Our mission is to keep Mr. Owen safe until the meeting is over. But make sure no one else knows that we're silently protecting them."

"Got it."

"Here's our plan. Since Ann's specialty is hacking, she will stay on the rooftop near the buildings. Of course, I'll be there with her. And Carlyn, your job is so important and dangerous. You will disguise yourself as one of his bodyguards. Make your move once they've begun their move. Got it?"

"Got it."

in front of the buildings.

"Wear this every time. We will communicate using this.No matter what happens, don't take it off."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it."

"Remember, Carlyn, someone's life lies in your hands. Don't make a hasty decision."

'....."

"That's all. Get going."

"Be careful."

inside the buildings.

[This place is so big and fancy. The security is also tight. I'm curious how they'll get in.]

"zzz...Test..Test.. Do you hear me?"

"I did."

"Is it clear?"

"Yes."

"Good. Then let me guide you to the meeting room. But before that,take a good look at your surroundings."

While observing the surroundings, someone walks past Carlyn. Familiar scent.

[This scent..]

"Wai--"

"You there! What are you doing? Mr. Owen will arrive soon. Take your place."

"Sorry."

"So where is this meeting room?" *Talking to mic

"Did you see the lift? On your right side. The one with a passcode."

"I did."

"Go there. The passcode is 089456.

"089456."*Ding

"Then?."

"Go to floor 14."

Floor 14.

"I'm here."

"Go to your left side, and there's a door with two bodyguards standing in front of it."

"...."

While walking towards the door, Carlyn got stopped by the bodyguard. For safety reasons.

"Id?."

"1182456"

"Who are you working with?"

"Mr. Owen."

"Let her in."

"..."

After walking inside, there is a big table with 12 chairs. Only 12 countries get involved in this meeting, which includes Canada itself,Japan,South Korea, Germany,Australia, Malaysia, Philippines, Brazil, and others. Carlyn walked around to see if there was a possible way to get in. After she finished observing, the politicians from the 12 countries arrived along with Mr. Owen.

"He arrive."

"Nice. Don't let your guard down."

"Thanks for coming tonight. So let's begin the meeting. Please send your bodyguard outside."

"Huh.. Why we can't be inside?"

"This meeting is private. No one is allowed to be in the room except the politician."

"So how did we know if they got attacked?"

"Don't worry. They have an emergency button below the table. If something happens, they will press the button, and you'll immediately get warn."

"I see."

An hour passed. Nothing happen.

"Its already an hour. There is no news from inside. Did they change their mind?"

"Something off.."

"I know.Why is it so quiet?"

"Hold up, let me check the security."

"Take your time."

Suddenly the familiar scent came again. But this time from inside the room.

[This scent!]

"This is bad."

"Everything is fine.Nothing happen."

"No, it's not. It's a fake video. The camera is hacked."

"Impossible! How did they know about the secret camera?!"

"I don't know how, but they're already in these buildings. Can you find a way to get inside this room?"

"I'll try... There's another way to get into the roo--" *Disconnected

"Ann?..Ann! Are you there?"

"......."

"Did they get her?.. I must find a way to get into this room as soon as possible."

Carlyn calmed herself and carefully observed her surroundings. She found a way to get into the room. Through the ventilation, which was a risk because of the sharp blades that blocked the ventilation.

"......"

Without any hesitation, Carlyn kicked the sharp blade with her feet.

"Just a little more..there we go."

The moment she gets inside the room, it's already too late. All the politicians are unconscious and lying on the floor. Everyone is there except Mr. Owen.

"Sleeping gases..They're alive, but... they took Mr. Owen."

Carlyn noticed that the kidnapper left a trace behind. As if they want Carlyn to follow them.

"......"

Without hesitation, she jumped from the windows and landed on the backstreet. Of course, she used some kind of special equipment that allowed her to fall without any damage. She then arrives in front of the old shed. Few kilometres away from the buildings.

"Its here."

"......"

She slowly approached the old shed with her weapon. In case her enemy attacked her. But then suddenly someone was approaching her from behind. She nearly killed him.

"Ca--"

"........"

"Relax, take it easy. It's me, Ethan."

"You?.. What are you doing here? Its dangerous."

"I--"

"Did you follow me all the way here? Creep."

"I'm not! It's a coincidence."

"....."

"Like I said before, if you need any help, just ask me. I'll be there."

"Listen, I'm not playing right now. This place is dangerous. You need to go back and call the police."

"......"

"Are you listening? Wait here. Don't try to do something ridiculous."

"......"

Carlyn braves herself and walks into the old barn,leaving Ethan behind.

The moment she set foot,she saw someone from afar. Mr. Owen was tied to a chair in the middle of the barn. Without thinking, she ran towards him and tried to untie him without noticing a guy wearing a half mask behind her.

"Wait a sec, I'll untie you."

The guy later threw a knife that almost killed Carlyn. But with her reflex, she dodges it easily.

"You're pretty though.. I thought you were stupid, just like your teammate."

"Ann? What did you do to them?"

"......"

"Tell me!"

Both of them started fighting with each other. Both skilled and professional. He attacked,she dodged it. She attacked, and he dodged it. But at the end, Carlyn got some wounds while the guy didn't. Which proves that he is more skilled than Carlyn.

The guy then tried to trap Carlyn, and she fell into it. Without hesitation, he threw a knife at her, but at the last moment, Ethan jumped out from nowhere to protect Carlyn.

*Zhushh

"Watch out!"

"Ethan?!Get out of the way!"

"........"

The knife hit him right on the left side of his chest. Blood started to flow. Seeing blood brought back memories of her past trauma. Her pupils expand. Without noticing it, her tears flow down to her cheeks.

The familiar scent comes again. It was a girl with a mask. Silver hair, and a red pupil. It looks like she was on the same side as the guy who attacked them.

"Let's go. The police are coming."

"......."

Before leaving, she turned her head to Carlyn and disappeared into the thin air along with the guy. Before the police arrived, Ann and Mr. Wreck came to take Carlyn with them. Police can't know about their where about.That's the rule. They run and leave Ethan behind. After a while, the police and ambulance arrived to rescue Mr. Owen and Ethan.
