Chapter #2Maria, SSS Agent by: saicrit Maria, an experienced officer of the Stenchlandian State Security, forcefully opened the large double-doors leading to the inside of the SSS headquarters. She quickly scanned the inside of the hall in front of her with her expert gaze, soon spotting a higher ranked member of the SSS, and walking towards her.
Maria's career at the SSS had started relatively early, several years ago. Even back when Maria was still too young to join it, it had always been her greatest wish to once rise up in their ranks. The Stenchlandian propaganda managed to have dramatic effects on Maria and for as long back as she could remember, she was a firm believer in female superiority and did everything in her might to prove her dedication.
Maria had been infamous for torturing others with her feet, preferably males but quite often females too, as soon as she found the slightest reason to do so. Many people also suspected that she sometimes punished people with her feet for pure satisfaction... Although they wouldn't say it to her face, as they knew they'd instantly be her next target, if they did.
This stubborn dedication, fierce will and a high natural intelligence allowed Maria to rise up in the ranks unusually quick. At the age of 21, she had joined the Stenchlandian Police, a position that seemed to be made for her. With the Stenchlandian's tight grip on its populace, only very few people dared to commit serious crimes, so Maria hardly found herself in moments of actual danger. She did, however, find opportunity to "question" suspects quite often. The victims of these interrogations often left the room unconscious, a terrible smell coming off their faces. Maria's incredibly efficient interrogation methods soon drew the attention of the SSS towards her, which recruited her soon after.
The SSS was different to the regular police; It was the secret state police and as such, Maria was no longer a regular police officer and more of a secret agent. Once again, Maria had proved great skill in her line of work. Of course, her methods of getting suspects to speak "the truth" were as efficient as ever, but her employers soon realized that she also had an incredible talent when it came to secret missions. Maria was so good in sneaking around, hiding herself from the enemies view and moving completely noiselessly that she often used to infiltrate buildings and gather information without alerting her targets. Even though Maria rarely had to fight, she was always in perfect physical shape, able to dish out devastating moves, should the need arise.
Today, Maria had been called into the headquarters much earlier than usual. She didn't know yet what the exact reason was, information like that was always only delivered directly from person to person. One of her superiors, Captain Amber Stonefield gave her a brisk salute as she stepped closer, followed by a wide grin. Maria was relieved that it seemed to be Amber she would have to talk with, she was one of her old friends. After a salute of her own, she spoke "Morning, Amber. I came as quickly as I could after I received your message. It seems quite urgent, do we have any sort of emergency?"
Amber continued to shine Maria with her beaming grin for a few moments, remaining completely silent while she stared at her intensely with her bright, blue eyes, an unusual blank expression in them. Moments like this one used to fill Maria with... unease. From time to time, she did these things and many people didn't like her attitude, rumors even implied she was somehow not right in the head. But her ideas were right and she was an efficient agent, and that was all that mattered to Maria, and the SSS.
"Yes." She finally said, her wide grin melting into a regular smile. "It actually is quite important. I would like to discuss the matter with you in my private office, if you don't mind?" Amber said, shooting off a few glances to her left and right. Maria nodded "Yes, no problem at all. After you."
Amber gave her another short grin before turning around and walking towards her office. Maria followed her shortly, and had to smirk herself when she saw several lower-ranked agents quickly moving out of Amber's way, sometimes almost jumping. Similarly to herself, Amber also had the reputation that she enjoyed to punish people with her feet a bit more than would be required by her work. Maria has had the pleasure to smell the scent of her feet herself a few times... And even she had to admit that Amber had two of the smelliest feet in probably the whole SSS.
After a short walk, they reached Amber's office and they stepped in. Amber immediately dropped into her chair and pointed to another, smaller one in front of her desk. As Maria sat down, she had to fight the urge to wrinkle her nose; Even right now, the typical smell of sweaty female feet was in the air.
"Good. So... We have somewhat of a delicate situation here, actually..." Amber began, playing around with her long, blonde hair with her right hand while looking around aimlessly in the room. "But it also might be a big chance for you, to rise even further. You see, Maria, the big bosses originally wanted some even more advanced agents to handle this mission, but due to some... unforeseen events, you are now our best bet." Maria cocked one eyebrow.
"Why... What happened?" "Oh, Agent Copper injured her knee somehow, Agent Zinc was sent to another mission in the southern district and Agent Wolfram went... missing. Anyway, let me get straight to the point: We have acquired insider information that a potentially dangerous group has formed... We are not sure of their real name yet, but they seem to call themselves "LTFK". Possible an abbreviation of some sorts? Anyway... They are openly opposing our government and if what I have heard is true, they even actively try to gather more people for their group... The worst thing? They are accepting males and females alike, rumors are they even treat them... equally."
Maria scrunched her face up "Those vile criminals!" she blurted. Amber nodded "I'm with you here. As I said... they may have grown too big and dangerous to just raid their headquarters in a big operation. The civilians would know and wonder how we even let this have come this far. It may even inspire OTHER groups to do the same!" At this point, Amber was gradually raising her voice, up to a point where she was outright screaming out loud, while gesturing with her hands widely.
"I, and the COR DEMANDS that those outlaws brought to JUSTICE! But... yes..." Amber was calming down a little "First, you have to infiltrate their base, unnoticed and gather information. We are not entirely sure how big their organisation really is, or if their motives are actually as bad as we believe right now. You are to find out, Maria! Of course, it would be perfect if you could take in their leader right away... Maybe even SMASH THROUGH their entire organisation! But... if you find them too many to handle on your own, do not hesitate to call for backup! If we are really faced with no other option, we will send a bigger team to their base to take them out. But again, it would be favorable if we could avoid this kind of movement."
"So what do you say, Maria? Are you up to the task?" Amber asked, a sly smile spreading on her face again as she tilted her head to the side slightly. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
