"Damn it I'm covered again, better ge- huh? What's this? An app?" A girl with brunette hair that reached to her waist was walking down the road it was almost midnight but she looked like she had been up for a while. However the was one thing that made her stand out. She had blood on her person. She wasn't drenched in it but it was noticeable. "Did Ari add that damn app he's been going on about, I'm going to murder him next- wait crap I'm being hacked. Shut down! Shut down! Shit I was too late." Looking at her phone she noticed she was in a chatroom "Unknown? Could it be...? Looks like I'll be starting that kidnapping case early...better play along but I can't get caught...Should I just follow the instructions given...that might be better than I can look for the people taken."
-Chat starts-
Unknown: …Hello…?
Zero: What the….
Unknown: Can you see this?
Zero …No I'm blind…what do you think
Unknown: …Finally connected. Thank god.
Unknown: It's not everyday that you get a text from a stranger
Unknown: I'm a bit flustered myself. I found a smartphone at the subway station, but all it had was this messenger app
Unknown: I want to find the owner, but I can't see any contact info or records…
Unknown: I've been sending messages with this app but no reply…
Unknown: All I see is an address and some important-looking numbers saved in notes
Unknown: I'd like to go there myself but I'm currently abroad
Zero: Dude there a thing called a police station
Unknown: As a devout person of faith, I feel it's important to make use of any possibility in order to do a good deed when providence allows. Besides, I don't think the people here are fluent in Korean.;; I'm worried that they'll just let it set in lost and found, and there's no telling how long it'll be before the original owner realizes it's gone.
Zero: Yes… true. But as a sane person why would you go through such trouble, but then again I have no right to talk about sanity….So what do you want?
Unknown:….Um…Could you go the address and tell them that their phone had been found.
Zero: Sure. Send it to me…But if something happens to me I'll haunt you after my death got it
Unknown: O.o …I..Um..Yeah…here you go?
Zero: Oh I know that place. I'll be there in about 5
Unknown: Ok
-Chat Break-
"I swear these days there are no smart people, I mean who on earth would just walk to an unknown area by themselves in the middle of the night…I mean seriously" The woman ranted out loud as she made her way to the given address. "Huh…..I know I've been here before but when was it….Hmmmmmmm…Oh well here goes nothing"
-End Chat Break-
Unknown: Are you there yet? Hope there's nothing strange.
Zero: Keypad, does that phone have the code
Unknown: Yeah, here
Zero: Thank you, right. I'll knock first then go in.
Unknown: Alright. Thank you
Zero: Well there's no one in so I'm checking inside will you leave you info so I can give it to them
Unknown: Yes, Thank you for your help.
-Chat ends-
"So the bastard ran. Where the hell am I - huh another chatroom?"
-Chat starts-
Yoosung*: failed my midterms T_T
707: Cuz you played LOLOL all night lol.
Jumin Han: If you want to work for our company, you should take care of your GPA.
-Chat break-
"Wow these guys are either, stupid or naïve or both if they didn't notice a black bar stating 'Zero has entered'. Oh no now they have and it only took a whole ten minutes"
-Chat break-
707: Think someone entered the chatroom;;
-That observation lead to a cascade of comments... One message stood out.-
Jaehee Kang: But no one can enter this private chat without installing the private app we use… It appears someone must've downloaded it.
Yoosung*: I thought Seven only let us download it?
Zero: ….
Yoosung*: Huh?
Zero:10
Zen: 10?
Jumin Han: What does that mean?
Zero: …Do you guys have NO SENSE OF SELF-PRESEVATION
Yoosung*: Gah why is it in caps
Jaehee Kang: and what do you mean by no sense of self-preservation
Zero: I've been here for 10 minutes reading your conversation and just now you realise I'm here
Jaehee Kang: Oh
Zero: Yeah, now I better introduce myself
Jumin Han: Oh, why would you do that, now it seem like you have a lack of self-preservation
Zero: No, I just know your darling Security Specialist is going to try information about me and will probably come up nothing
707: they're right. Can't find anything
Yoosung*:WHAT!
Zen: Whoa
Zero: Now then ,my name is Zero – no its not my real name that is currently for the moment classified
707: …..Classified?
Zero: Yes and if you let me finish you will know why. Second I didn't hack into this chatroom since I didn't know it even exists until now
Zero: Thirdly I'm actually an investigator looking into a series of disappearances happening for the last few months now particularly round this area I am at now.
If you don't believe I can give the number name and ID needed to verify my identity
Now any questions- one at a bloody time- you need answering
707:HO
707:LY
707:Crap
Zen: Disappearances?Seriously
Zero: Yup, men and women between the ages of 15 and 35 have been reported missing for the past 3 months.
Jaehee Kang: I heard about that, but the details are rather minor
Zero: Yeah, so far the only clue we have is that they were speaking to an 'Unknown' at the time.
Jumin Han: Why tell us this.
Zero: Simple really because before I was talk to you I was speaking with Unknown
Jumin Han:…..
Zen: Um….Is that safe… you did just say that people were disappearing
Zero: Yes. But unlike them I've been trained to do this, now before I go any further are there any other members I should know about.
Zen: ….
707: …..
Jaehee Kang: …
Yoosung: …
Zero: Seriously…. Could you be more obvious?
Jumin Han: …V…Also known as Kim Jihyun…
Zero: Kim Jihyun… the fiancé of Rika….that Kim Jihyun
Jumin Han: H-how
Zero: …..Rika…. was a good friend of mine but after her death… I focused more on climbing the ranks, without her I would have done something unforgiveable.
707: Unforgiveable?
Zero: Yeah….Let me start again.
Zen: ?
Zero: My name is Alicia Kitsune. Codename-Zero. I work with a division in the National Intelligence Service. Actually I'm the head of the Recon Division and currently searching for the missing 50+ people missing in Korea
-V has entered the chatroom-
V: Alice…..
Zero: ….. Jihyun… What the hell is happening!? Why is your organization being used as a decoy!?
V: I don't know…Luciel has there been any attacks
707: only 3 and I was able to fight them all off
Zero: I see
Jumin Han: Shouldn't we know about this as well
Yoosung*: Yeah! What the hell is happening?
Zen: I'm so confused
Jaehee Kang: I agree
Zero: Simple really, someone and a group of people is using your app as a decoy then hiding, all while kidnapping people.
707: but how I'm sure I covered all my bases
Zero: I'm sure you did, but all one needs is a super computer and any system is putty in their hands and these days there not hard to make or buy.
707: Yeah… that's right.
Zero: So V have a plan… I'm all ears
V: … Play along… Whatever they want their going to use you as their access… Where are you anyway
Zero: Just a hunch but I think your organisation old base of operations
V: …That means… You're at Rika's apartment… they probably want the info of the guest we had at our last party
Zero: Powerful
V: Yep
Zero: Influential
V: Most definitely
Zero: …****…..******…**********….********…****…******…..Why me…..Why must I suffer so….God Bloody damn it…Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Zen: ….
707: …..
Jaehee Kang: …
Yoosung: …
V: …
Jumin Han: ….
Jaehee Kang: You done
Zero: YEP!…. So what will my position be here since V expects me to play along?
V: RFA Party Co-ordinator
Zero: … ;;;;;;;; You're Serious.
V: Yes
Zero: and what about the rest of you.
707: It would be better
Jumin Han: Yes, if we want to keep a low profile
Jaehee Kang: This is going to be a headache
Zen: Tell me about it
Yoosung*: ….
Zen: ? Yoosung?
Yoosung*: Why are you doing this?
Zero: This is Rika legacy right? The entire of RFA is what is left behind
Yoosung*: …Yeah….
Zero: Then it's simple. Over my bloody dead body is someone going to mess with the one precious thing that my friend left behind and I will fight tooth and limb to make sure that the bastards are brought down and behind high security bars
Yoosung*: …
V: J
Jaehee Kang: …
Zen: ….
707: …..
Jumin Han: ….
Zero: …..What?…..
Yoosung*: Thank you
V: … Luciel Register her in
707: R-right
Zero: V…no Jihyun…. 4 days that's all I'm giving you
V: Alice we talked about this I'm not going t-
Zero: If I have to I will hunt you know I will… 4 days get it done or I will. Understood
V: Alice
Zero: Do
Zero: You
Zero: Under
Zero: Stand
V:…
Zero:….
V: Fine
Zero: Good, J I'm glad we agree
V: Rika taught you that. Didn't she
Zero: she made me vow… and I quote 'Jihyun can be overworking sometimes, and I feel if something tragic happens it will change him, so promise me Alice, if that idiot of a fiancé tries of bear the cross, you'll help him'
Yoosung*: ….. Rika said that
Zero: She was sharp like that….. Well looks like I'll have to contact my boss
Zen: I thought you are the boss
Zero: Only of recon. I have someone I answer to and they are not going to be happy
Yoosung: Why?
Zero: Simple really within 4 hours I've managed to be in contact with the kidnapper, work out a potential motive and I have a clear route I can follow to solve this, while the idiots in the office have spent the last 3 months drawing blanks
Jumin Han: Ouch
Zero: Yeah….. I'll be sure to keep this place under wraps
V: Thank you… I got to get going… Looking forward to work with you again Alice
Zero: Yeah yeah, get going lover boy
-V has left-
Yoosung*: Lover boy
Zero: Huh? You don't know… The first week he met Rika he smacked his head into 14 poles, fell in 4 pot holes, stepped on a feral cats and dogs tail, as well as stood in dog shit… It was hallirious
707:…Pffft…pfff…..hahahahahah….Lolololololol
Yoosung*: Seriously;;;;;… 14 poles
Zen: Wow
Jumin Han: Indeed… to think he was that flustered
Jaehee Kang: Unbelievable
Yoosung*: He really loved her…..
Zero: Of course….. He got injured trying to save her once… heck after her funeral I had to hunt him down only to find him getting drunk out of his mind. For the first month he was useless, then now he's become cold, simply because he's scared.
Yoosung*: I never knew
Jumin Han: Why didn't he tell us… Or at least me
Zero: he wanted to be strong…. He wanted to protect what memories she left….. Well that and he's a man
Zen: Hey!
Zero: You're telling me you let those you basically let those you think as family see you break down, honestly?
Zen: W-well
707: No. No I wouldn't
Zero: It's one thing for a woman but its completely different for a man who wants to protect those dear.
Zero: Well I have to go…but before I do 707 I'm guessing you the hacker of the group
707: Yeah
Zero: I give my permission to do a check on me if you want and you can send my contact details out to everyone… What else… Oh right… if you ever see a person with two foxes in like a yin yang form as a crest… That would most likely be me. I may have to drop by each of your places for some info. So sorry in advance… I think that's all
Jumin Han: I'll tell my guards about that
Jaehee Kang: Just one question, what was the unforgiveable thing you almost did
Zen: Yeah I'm kinda curious…
Yoosung*: Me too
707: ….
Zero: … I almost killed someone…..
Yoosung*: What!Why?
Zero: because they were going to kill me
Zen: What th-
707: Now I remember where I heard you name from… You're the women who single handily destroyed the triads' base here in Korea
Zero: Yep, the mission was completed today
Jumin Han: Today I thought that was weeks ago
Zero: Loose ends
Jumin Han: Oh…. I see
Zero: anymore questions
Yoosung*: can you tell us more about V and Rika ?
Zero: That my dear Yoosung will be my pleasure
Zen: YES!
707: Mwahahahahaha
Yoosung*: Embarrassing?
Zero: Oh yes
Yoosung*: Jackpot!
Jumin Han: Interesting
Jaehee Kang: I feel sorry for V
Zero: don't be its his punishment… Well see ya….. Oh an one more thing just call me Alice or Zero its easier for the both sides.
-Chat ends-
The woman stood up from her chair and just looked around the room was relatively plain but comfortable still. After stretching out all the kinks in her neck and back and made her way to the bathroom and got cleaned up and then went to bed with only one thought in her mind.
"This should be interesting"
(Next Day)
Alice woke at 10am and got ready and left the apartment, but not before doing a quick sweep of the surrounding area. After going to the checkpoint she went to the office to hand in her report stopping just outside a pair of doors she said
"Zero is here sir"
"Come in" The office was large but not overly so "Now, give me a reason of why I shouldn't send you back to toilet duty Alice"
"Because I've got a lead on the Kidnapping case"
"Wha-! How!?"
"I got in contact yesterday"
"How"
"Someone hacked my phone, Ari put some sort of app he's been playing on lately and that got hacked"
"And"
"Well turns out those people were being lead to an apartment to get info out from there"
"And you know this because"
"Remember Agent Mint"
"Rika yes"
"Remember the parties she used to hold for charities"
"Yes they became really popular"
"And how many powerful and influential people came"
"Shit"
"Indeed"
"Some the apartment was her base of operations"
"From the looks of it yes"
"And"
"Well the people part of it still use the app to talk so I got in contact with them soon after"
"Oh…..and its members"
"707 also known as Luciel Choi the security manager of the group, Jumin Han, Director of C&R, Jaehee Kang, assistant of Jumin Han and chief secretary in the C&R International company, Yoosung Kim, College Student and cousin of….. Rika, Zen also known as Hyun Ryuu an uprising musical actor dancer and singer and Finally V also known as Kim Jihyun current head of the RFA ,freelance photographer … fiancé of Rika"
"I… see…., quite the group….., so what is the situation right now"
"Well. As I said I have spoken to them already, they do know who I am and V suggested the I because the co-ordinator for the RFA until the kidnapper is captured"
"…"
"…"
"Well done, this is good work, I suggest you keep me up to date this is you mission form now, find and capture the kidnapper and rescue the kidnapped, I give you permission to give you details needed to the members but be wary of your surrounding at all times, do you understand"
"Sir yes sir"
"Good, Now how you doing"
"Sir?"
"Mint, is still a sore spot for you right"
"Yes, but I refuse to let some sick weirdo mess her legacy, it will snow in hell when that happens"
"Good, you're dismissed but be careful"
"I will," she walked out the room and went to get something to eat. After then going home and filling a couple of bags of clothes and other necessities as well as other weapons she might need. After packing she made her way back to the apartment and was about to get started to work on enhancing the security when she thought 'Hmm if seven did this better tell him'
"Hello" she heard a gruff voice from the other end of the line
"Seven? Its me Alice"
"Oh, Hey. Something up?"
"Yeah, just wanted to know what security system do you have here"
"…Hmmmm, well we have multiple lock and coding done all around the area of the apartment and security cameras outside and an anti-theft device,"
"Anti-Theft?"
"Y-yeah"
"And pray tell what does the device do exactly?"
"Well. Let's just say it won't allow anything to be stolen"
"Wont allow…..A bomb?"
"How the-"
"I've done this before plus it seems like a Rika type of move"
"Wow. Wait. Why are you so calm?"
"Luciel do you really think that I've never been near a bomb before"
"True….Where did you hear that name?"
"What Luciel? I had to find out who you guys are. That and Rika told me once"
"Rika did?"
"Yep. And I do quote 'V and I just found this adorable little boy who is trying to make life for his little brother easier he soooooo cute' is what she said"
"Wha- A-adorable? C-c-cute. Wha-"
"Have I broken you"
"Yes! I mean no. I-I I don't know anymore"
"Oooookay, Anyway anything else security wise. "
"N-no that's all"
"Okay I plan on adding a bit more if you don't mind"
"No not at all. Your strange. You know that most people would be scared or at least worried"
"Most people don't have year of combat and interrogation training"
"I see"
"I'll talk to you later Seven"
"Yeah, Oh and Alice"
"Hm?"
"Thank you… for helping us protect RFA"
"No problem. Talk later?"
"Yeah. Bye"
After hanging up she got to work mapping out where everything was and planning where to enhance and where to leave, funnily enough the only places Alice chose to add was the windows doors and the bomb's detonation coding, can't have someone hacking into that now can me. After she finished she went to put everything away and decide to have dinner.
"Might as well see who's on" but just before she could she got a call.
What do you think should I carry on?
Should there be romance
