A Fake Protagonist

Gotcha!"

The twenty-year-old girl behind the cashier's counter snapped grabbing the middle-aged man who had come to make the payment by the hand.

She stiffened her expression, perhaps to look more professional and fearful but in summary, she was cute.

She was Yang Sunni by name. She had a petite body structure which prevented her from being tall. She was a bit average in height but appearance would say she was younger than her age.

"Hey! what's wrong with you?!" The man who was held by the hand inquired. His eyes widened in shock.

"Tell that to the cops when you're in jail" She smirked.

Working part-time in I restaurant was Sunni's way of helping out herself and her friend in the little way she could.

Luckily, she was employed in this not-so-famous restaurant as a cashier. It was a so-so job for her although it wasn't her dream job. It still paid nicely.

At the very moment, it was a bit too obvious that attention had been grabbed to the cashing counter but Sunni cared less. She believed she had caught the criminal!

With the poor man struggling to get out of the young girl's grip, Sunni held him tightly "You're going nowhere!" she snapped again.

Not long, the manager was out to inspect what was a man dressed in a black suit and a red necktie. He seemed to be in his late sixties.

"Sir....what's this embarrassment all about? How can your worker embarrass me like this?! " The middle-aged man demanded.

The manager's questioning gaze fell on Sunni who made no effort to smile. She had to keep up the face!

"Mr. Manager...don't be fooled by thesecriminaeexcusesas a matter of fact...I can tell he's a thief!" Sunni said with a firm nod...she believed this was going so well.

"What? who are you calling a thief? Have you no respect for customers at all?" The man was getting annoyed.

"Respect my foot! Who would even accept such a man in his mist?!"

"Enough of this!" The manager interrupted. "Miss yang....tell me what's this all about" he demanded.

Sunni smiled for a while, finally, the opportunity to present her case had arrived! She cleared her throat finally letting go of the man's hand.

"I'm glad you asked... Well, Is Ian over here...Is ay robber that the police are after!" 

They went mute staring at her.

"What the hell is that?" The manager demanded.

"Manager....don't you watch TV? Haven't you heard of the robber who robbed the Shun Bank a week ago and the police are after him...judging from my observation, this is him" Sunni concluded.

"Are you insane? How can I be him? The man demanded, frustrated. 

"Don't try to fool me! I'm smarter than you think...I've been observing you for long now....you act strange and I've even followed you home to find out that you live alone...you might be masked when committing crimes...but I can see beyond the mask"

"Miss yang! Stop this! "  He turned to the man "mister...'m sorry " He apologized.

"Don't apologize....he's a criminal!" Sunni persisted as the manager gave him a cold stare.

Just then, her phone rang as she picked the call "Hi Hana....don't disturb me, I'm in the middle of something" She said.

"Hey, I have something about the case of the Runaway robber you were following " The other girl from the other end of the line said.

"Yeah yeah...I  know, I've already caught him and I'm cracking the case he said " So stop disturbing me"

"But He had already been caught over an hour ago..."

Sunni's face slowly changed from a confident look to a shocked and stiffened one. "What?" 

"I called to tell you because right now they're at the scene...the old city warehouse and It's the MI Detective agency were the team who caught him! Your dream agency!" 

Sunni didn't want to hear more as she slowly cut the line and looked at the two men who had their eyes furiously fixed on her. OMG her phone was in speak out!

She smiled "eh.... What do you know....the case has been solved..... Sorry....for.....this " she wished the floor could open and draw her in!

"Sorry Mister"The manager apologized to the man who angrily left and then to Sunni " Come to my office."

Sunni regretted following him to the office because on going there, all she got was a yell.

"You're fired! Go and never return!"

she had seen that one coming....once again....she had lost a job.

Yang Sunni took a cab, obviously heading to the scene her friend had told her off. 

She sighed looking out the car's window... She didn't know how to feel about being fired. 

Meet 'Yang Sunni' Your normal twenty-year-old teenager who like everyone else had a dream...and her problems.

She couldn't say for sure when it was started but she knew that ever since she was young, she had always had this desire and dream of becoming a detective.

She loved spending her time-solving cases and seeing life from a very different side. This was a hobby of hers that she wanted to make into reality but she couldn't...

All efforts she made to become a better detective were to no avail. Because any agency she apply to join would always turn her down with the view that she was no good. And was poor at detecting. 

But she never let this make her give up, she persisted in investigating and applying to any agency she could.

Amongst all these agencies wasMI, her dream agency. For a strange reason, she had loved this agency. Logically because they were the best in the country and had professional teams. Getting into it would be a dream come true!

The cab pulled over distances way from the old city warehouse as she got out. Looking ahead, she saw lots of people who had come to watch what was going on as she approached looking for Hana.

"Yang Sunni" 

Sunni turned to see her friend run-up to her. She was the same height as her and body stature. 

Unlike Sunni who had ng black curly hair, she had long blonde curly hair. 

"What took you so long?" Hana inquired.

Sunni frowned.." I lost my job."

Hana sighed with a smile " Let me guess...you accused a man of being the runaway robber and caused a scene...."

Sunni shrugged "But I was sure he was the runaway robber....his eyes....everything was intact " 

"Cheer up...I'll help you find a new job...but now...I'm gonna keep the promise of bringing you to meet your dream team" Hana said. 

After ruining Sunni's collection of best Detective's of the century three months ago, Hana had promised to get her close to her dream team ( MI agency )

Sunni rolled her eyes "Whatever...where are they?" She asked looking around.

"Let's hurry up...they're about leaving" Hana grabbed Sunni by her hand and lead her off. 

They stopped at a spot where people were. Looking ahead, there was a black van with white stripes. The logo and name of Mthe the I agency were on it.

"Woah...it's them!" Sunni squeaked excitedly. "How do we get closer?"

Hana shrugged "Don't know" 

Sunni frowned "What's the point of coming?"

Just as they admired from behind, someone came from behind and without looking bumped into Hana. She fell to the floor.

"Hana! Are you okay?!" Sunni quickly bent to help her friend up "Are you okay?"

She nodded "I'm fine," she said.

Annoyed, Sunni turned to the man who had simply walked past without turning to say sorry.

"Hey! Stupid!" She called. 

The man stopped.
