THE WIND touches the being's skin softly, calming her chaotic emotion. She was standing there for a couple of minutes or so, yet, someone she needed to meet was still not around. Looking at her wristwatch and puffing a cigarette before throwing it in a cigarette trash bin near her. Waiting for someone... What's new to this? The being's already used to waiting for someone, and she's already used to being ignored if she's not needed. This isn't new to her. Perhaps, she was so used to it that she did not mind it anymore. Heaving a deep sigh, she blew out the cigarette's smoke. "What's taking you so long?" She asked herself, reaching for her phone inside her jeans pocket. About to dial a familiar phone number, she was interrupted by a presence behind her back. As her normal instinct, she immediately turned around and was about to throw a punch. "Blanche?" She utters. The Captain rubs her nape and smiles. "Sorry, I had run a bit late. How long have
THE MORNING SUN had risen, and the soft beaming light of dawn spilled into the room. The peaceful chirping of birds outside the window provided a calming melody, making the General feel at ease. He savored the aroma of his freshly brewed coffee that wafted around him - ah! The perfect complement to the cozy atmosphere of the General's office. With precision and care, the General carefully fixed his necktie and donned his tuxedo. He was about to meet with the Light Infantry's Colonel, and the sooner they could discuss the upcoming changes - will be better. Time was of the essence, and the General was determined not to waste any single second of his time. Before it gets too late, he needed to lay out his plan. As he strode towards his desk, the General sat down on his executive chair, feeling the weight of his responsibilities settling on his shoulders. He picked up a cup of coffee, savoring the warm liquid as it danced across his taste buds. Leaning his back
THE CLINKING SOUND of the glass as the spoon gently hits the cup makes a short ringing sound. Blanche's making her usual black coffee, after stirring it, she placed the teaspoon on the side of the saucer. Walking with her cup of coffee in her left hand, she went to the mini coffee bar table inside the mansion, took a seat, and sniffs her steaming hot coffee. It was her usual habit, whenever she perform any task, accomplished or not, she drinks a steaming hot coffee as it brings her sensual sanity. The room was filled with silence, yet, she doesn't feel paranoid at all. She owned this place and she choose to stay here whenever she had a difficult mission. No one knows this place, but of course, with the exception of her wife. Come to think of it, Blanche has been through a lot of missions these past few weeks and it hasn't been that long since Venus came back to life. Just how long has she been doing this? So long that she could barely keep tabs on it. Bla
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN Russo-British has been strained for many years and can be traced back to a vast array of history from geopolitical, military, and ideological distinctions. If things didn't go as what they have planned, they'd be lucky to be a lump of dead meat in these coordinates. What's worst is the enemy can capture them and bring them to some sort of a wasteland wherein the location is isolated - no one can ever find them - and slit their stomach open. Leaning her back on the leather car seat sideways, Blanche chuckled as she crosses her arms on her chest. She can't stop thinking of being killed by these Russian syndicates. Who could blame her though? Most of these things happen in life - especially if they messed up with the Russian operatives. This ain't the first time that they have been assigned to this type of mission. They're already used to this, however, for this time being, it is different. "What's the word again, Alexis?" Blanche mimed
THE FLASHING OF BLUE AND RED LIGHTS raced towards Blanche's team as they headed in the direction of the City's Center, nearly blinding the team as the vehicles screamed past them. Their second option is to turn right up the road where Alexis and the Captain waited in their Jeep Wrangler. Blanche's ammo was in her right hand, rammed into their target's neck, while Alexis is using her left hand, shooting out the opponent's vehicle as well as the police cars. Occupied with her task, Alexis had no other way but to shift the car's gear using her right hand and hold the wheel in position with her knees. "Fuck it up!" Alexis exclaimed as she reeved the steering wheel and shifted gear again. They changed their plan, the team split up into two, Hyun Ah was with the recruits while both the Captain and Alexis is with their target. They needed to change their plan in order to divert the authorities' attention. Dividing it will lessen the time they will be dealing with them. Their ta
A LOUD SLAMMED ON THE TABLE echoed across the room, along with the baritone voice that roared with anger. It was not the usual morning in the Black Spectre's camp to have this meeting during this time. The Captain's team has been summoned by the General after knowing that they have arrived from their mission. It is a good thing that the team arrived at their camp safe and sound, however, due to Captain's abrupt actions, their target was hurt - not that it is fatal, but still, the initial plan for them is to obtain their target and secured his safety. "Do you even know what you were doing?! Why the hell did our target get into this situation?" The General stood up and briskly walk towards the Captain's location. Blanche was standing on the other end of the table, chuckling as she gets frustrated with the General's action. "With all due respect, General, the target is still alive, isn't it the only thing that matters? His injury is not as fata
THE FREEDOM THAT THEY aimed for seems to be harder to grab. They've been fighting for all their lives and yet, the liberation of life that they wanted to claim is just too overwhelming. But now, it looks like their situation has been twisted, the team got their two-month vacation - which means, they got a couple of months to have their freedom back and take a deep breath. Alexis stretches out her arms forward and groans as she feels satisfaction inside her. "Ah, it's good to be outside, not thinking about anything," She said as she glance beside her. She raised her brow as she has seen Aerith leaning on the patio. "What's with the long face?" "Ah! Nothing, just sending you guys off," She shrugged as she rubbed her temple. "Don't you have your vacation days?" Alexis curiously asked while looking at Blanche who was busy placing her bag inside the car. "I do, but..." Aerith paused and squinted her eyes toward Alexis. "And why would I dare to ta
THE CAPTAIN'S TEAM have finally able to get a decent meal after travelling and after completing their month-long mission. The mission has opted for the team to eat mostly instant food as they need to focus on their mission rather than consume their time in cooking their meals. The team was occupied with their chitchat when a loud bang coming from the main door sounded. Blanche heave a sigh as she gently drop her utensils and excused herself. "You guys go ahead and continue with your meal. I'll go and check on it." Vixx glances at Blanche while Blanche rubs her temple. "Ah, do you want to come?" She glanced back and met Vixx's eyes. For some reason, Vixx wanted to say no, but still, she found herself following the latter. Clueless as she was, she remained silent until they reached the receiving area of the house. "Have you finished your job?" Blanche inquired which made Vixx confused, about to reprimand, she paused as she realized that the inqu
