This can't be happening... why does some crap like this always have to happen last minute?
Bzz bzz- bzzzz
The sound of Byung-ho's in ears started going off as the men in black continued to search for him and Lin.
Bzz- "hello?"
The voice was static-like, but Byung-ho could manage to make out the words.
"Agent Phony? Agent Cross? Can you here me? This is Anchovey."
...
"Hello?"
Byung-ho continued to navigate through the tables while holding onto Lin's wrist tightly.
He sighed and tried to keep his voice down as he replied.
"I'm in the middle of something right now! What do you want?"
His eyes were constantly searching around to make sure that no one would see them.
"Oh! Great, we're back~"
Agent Anchovey was back at headquarters controlling everything behind a screen. His hacking skills were superior at Rapid1.
"There was some sort of.. interruption. But we're back-"
What? Who cares about that right now! Agent Cross is acting like a total lunatic, I'm about to die, and the ring is gone!
Byung-ho let out a groan and tapped on the in ears impatiently.
"Enough talking! When are you sending back up? Don't you know how dire the situation is?"
Lin watched Byung-ho in complete confusion as she watched the "woman" begin to speak with a manly voice instead of the high-pitched voice that she was used to.
CRASH
Agent Cross was flung into a table as he continued to laugh maniacally, never-ending.
What the hell- yeah.. nevermind.
Byung-ho turned away and tapped at his in ears again.
"Hello? Archives or whatever you're called? Where'd you go? Wait.. what is that?"
His eyes diverted towards a shining object in the distance but was met with more touble. Someone finally spotted Lin and Byung-ho and immediately began to fire at them.
CRAP! What the hell is the agency doing?!
Byung-ho quickly grabbed a golden platter and blocked as many bullets as he could. Lin was visibly panicked and overwhelmed by the situation.
Poor girl.. has no idea what's happening.
"Lin, I'm going to take on these guys. I need you to get your a** out of here. Okay?"
He gripped onto Lin's shoulders tightly as she shook from fear.
"Just... don't look back and keep running."
Byung-Ho gripped onto his gun tightly and suddenly stood up.
"Now!"
Lin quickly ran for the exit as Byung-ho held up another golden platter to stop any bullets from coming near Lin as she evacuated.
That damned chief.. I'm seriously going to kill him one day!
Bzz.. bz- "Agent.. Ph- Agent Phony..."
Byung-ho sighed loudly as he charged in to take on the men in black. He was soon joined by Agent Cross who finally got up from getting struck against the tables.
"Damn it! Why do you always have to say something when I'm not in a situation where I can talk? You goddamn vegetable!"
He yelled as he struggled against the men with hand to hand combat.
"I need you two to listen up.. am I back? Agent Triple is heading in now. Can you hear me?"
Byung-ho was huffing and panting as he tried to keep up with Agent Cross as they defended themselves from the endless amounts of assailants.
"About time you did something!"
He yelled out in complete exhaustion.
Wait.. Agent Triple?
"I take that back! He's not the type someone can reason with-"
He glanced at Agent Cross and cleared his throat.
"Actually, anyone would be better than this guy right now..."
"Well, we have managed to power some of the cameras back on. We have noticed that most of the- ooh~ it looks like Lin is in a bit of a pickle right now."
What?
Byung-ho immediately turned back to look at the exit door but was caught with a surprise blow to the head, knocking his wig off.
"Ah- f*ck!"
He yelled while trying to cover his head.
"F*kers! You're going to- wait, Lin?"
Byung-ho was completely overwhelmed with the amount of things happening all around him. He sighed and glanced at Agent Cross as he tried to dodge all the attacks.
"Hey, maniac! Hold off the fort for me, I'm heading somewhere else."
Agent Cross grinned widely as he cracked his knuckles and got straight back to work.
BOOM! CRASH!
That guy is something else.. I was not expecting that from him.
Byung-ho swiftly navigated through the venue and towards the exit door. There were men blocking the door and threatening Lin with guns.
Pretty low for a bunch of buff guys...
He sighed and slowly walked up to the men.
"Don't you guys have anything better to do?"
Byung-ho didn't realize how ridiculous he looked in a torn up dress without a wig on. The men could only stare at Byung-ho in conplete confusion and disgust as his silicon chest began to fall out.
"What do you think you're looking at??"
Lin stared in complete dismay as she watched Byung-ho's appearance change gradually. She cleared her throat and immediately aimed her heels at the men as they were distracted by Byung-ho's appearance. "Back away! Or I'll shoot-"
She accidentally pressed the trigger and ended up blazing the men on accident.
Byung-Ho watched in amusement as the men started to rain around screaming in panic and rolling around the ground.
Now that's a high-tech weapon.
"Woah, you're more impressive than I th-"
He was cut off with a clean slap to the face. Lin stared at Byung-ho with a glare as she wiped her hand after slapping him
"You lied to me? Who are you?"
She said while backing away slowly.
"Are you part of those guys? I.. I can't believe I helped you."
Her eyes grew more distrustful as she continued to observe Byung-Ho.
Beep.
"Agent Phony, heads up, the ring has been located. Triple is near site. He'll take it from here. Take Agent Cross and begin to make your exit."
Byung-Ho rubbed his cheek as he looked away from Lin. He felt extremely bad for discieving Lin.... but at the same time he didn't because that was his job.
"Uh- I'm on your side! I swear.. I'm working to uh..."
He glanced away and nervously backed away.
"You'll never see me ever again!"
Crap! This is embarassing..
"Sorry, bye!"
Lin watched in the distance as the woman.. or man ran off back to the scene. Her expression grew more confused as she glanced at the heel in her hand.
Byung-Ho quickly ran back to Agent Cross and paused as he gazed at the whole venue. It was a bloody mess.. and at the center of it all, Agent Cross stood tall while panting out of exhaustion.
Holy... crap. I'm not going near that thing!
He quickly turned around and was about to leave.. until a team of agents from Rapid1 appeared out of nowhere.
Triple, the number 1 Agent at Rapid1, jumped down from.. somewhere above, and landed straight on a table. His presence was extremely strong as he glanced around the venue to take a hold of the situation.
That guy.. acting cool for what?
Triple gently jumped to the ground and gazed at Agent Cross for a moment before ignoring him and swiftly walking towards a dark room.
Byung-Ho let out a gruff and sat on the ground, right where he was standing.
This guy always has to steal the spotlight...
He tapped his in ear and let out a loud sigh.
"Anchives.. or whatever you're called, can you hear me? I have a complaint."
Beep. Chew chew.
"Mhm.. what.. chew I'm eating.."
The chewing noises grew louder as Agent Anchovey began smacking into the microphone. Byung-Ho scrunched up his face in disgust as he was forced to listen to the sounds of.. wet chewing.. in his ear.
"Quit that! I have a question! Why was Agent Cross and I sent on this mission when you were going to have Agent Triple do all the work anyways?!"
They only wanted to humiliate me.. f*king hell.
"Mhmm.. chew chew.. chew- ah! Right, I was supposed to answer."
He cleared his throat and swallowed his food.
"Ask the Chief. He's the one who makes all the decisions.. but.. if you were to ask me... we were able to access information we didn't know about thanks to you two. And for that, I believe that you two played an important role. BITE.. chew chew..."
Byung-Ho furrowed his eyebrows as he heard more chewing. He sighed and ripped his in ears out before throwing them away. Suddenly, he was completely caught off guard after seeing Fredrick Albashour pull a tile off the ground and sneak into a hole.
That guy's still alive..? And.. why is no one catching him right now?
He looked around and saw no one around. All the agents were busy elsewhere, probably looking for the ring.. but why was Frederick Albashour sneaking into a suspicious hole in the ground..?
Wait... the spotlight.. could be all mine!
