Previously, the team completed their mission because of Quinn's mad dash to
destroy the enemy warehouse and Nikkie's reckless attempt to drive away a
car wired with bombs.....
The team sealed off the parking lot with police tape and headed back. While
another team from Legolas, searched for evidence and cleaned up the debris
at the scene. All of her friends were worried about Quinn. But Jerry had
more on his mind, he was also thinking about his bratty lit sister, Nikkie.
He was damn desperate to find out anything about her since Ken still hasn't
reported any signs of her at the location of the exploded car.
After about 25 mins, the team arrived back to Legolas base. Ordinarily,
most people would assume that the Legolas base is in a hidden location
where civilians cannot see it. However, it is actually quite the opposite.
The building is located in the outskirts of the city. It looks like the
white house, surrounded by trees, grass, and several buildings with a long
driveway up to the front door of the building. The pleasant scenery throws
off the suspicion that this building is anything other than what it seems.
The first floor is a camouflage acting as a community centre. However, the
facilities inside the community center don't quite fit the outside image.
While the exposé outside looks sophisticated and posh, the inside is very
plain. There is a small library, an information centre and arena, with a
small pool. The community centre lacks many facilities because the
government didn't want a big crowd to be there all the time or provide many
activities to attract residents to frequently visit. The other floors to
the outsiders look like plain rooms. But in reality, these things are just
a cover-up. The 2nd floor is the hospital where injured agents tend their
wounds and recover from any accidents during their missions. There are
professional staffs equipped with high-tech equipment to tend to every
need. Above the hospital is the controlling centre, where communications
are sent to and from the building and information gathered on each
individual mission. The 4th floor is the agents' office, where the agents
typed up their reports and spend their time finishing up all the paperwork.
The floor above is their temporarily rooms, this is where the high rank
commanders and other agents stay predominately. But whenever some agents
need to stay at the base temporarily, there are rooms that remain
unoccupied should that occur. The 6th floor is kitchen, dinning halls and
leisure rooms, where agents get to relax and restore their energy with
gourmet food. Lastly, above the dining halls is the roof.
But of course, what is a base without underground levels? (lol - coauthor) The 2 floors below the community centre are classrooms, where junior agents receive their lessons on combat strategies and leadership skills. The floor beneath those 2 levels is the training centre, where agents can train their firing skills, fighting skills, and other combat skills. Then the floor following the training centre is the gadget's man headquarters, where he develops all the weird funny tools and tests them. Finally the last floor, which is the 6th floor down below ground level, is where all the weapons are stored and where emergency shelter is. The ambulance came and drove Quinn back to the headquarters. Because she was unconscious when they arrived, she was rushed in immediately, bypassing security, straight to the hospital. Jerry was leading the others to head into the community centre. It was late in the night so the kids and parents are all gone. But still to be vigilant, they turned their heads to scan the place thoroughly and meticulously. After the place was clear, they turned and walked down the lobby of the community centre. Then they made a turn down another hall and went inside a room that looked like an office room. The gang walked to the back wall. Jerry tapped his foot 3 times, pushed the wall, flaking his wrist towards the wall, and then a very faint tee tee sound could be hear. It was doing a scan of his identity code. The white bare wall shook. It opened and in front of them stood a posh, silver wall. They stood behind Jerry and waited. The silver gates reared, and the gang stepped toward the silver gates. They lined up waiting to be cleared past security, a beeping sound was heard. Streaks of lights came out and before they know it, the scan was done.
Madison: Aww! It makes my eyes watery every time.
Vic: You okay?
Madison: Yeah. Why don't they have a palm check instead? I don't like the retina scan, it makes my eye watery.
Da S: It's probably cuz you don't have enough sleep.
Madison: Could be. (she shrugged)
Vanesse: Ai, let's hurry up. We should go see how Quinn is and I think Jerry is very anxious about news on Nikkie too. He's been very quiet since she left.
Vic: Hey bud! Don't worry, she'll be fine.
Jerry: I hope so. Once the retina scan was done, they stepped in when the silver door was finished opening. They walked down the hall, and when they neared the end, the glass elevator opened. The glass elevator faced the open area of the base, almost all the floors can be seen from the elevator. At the very bottom of the open area, is a statue of the founder of Legolas base. They went in the elevator and pressed 2nd floor to get to the hospital. They rode the elevator in silence and slipped out quietly. They wandered down the hall and stopped by the nurse's desk.
Jerry: Where is agent Quinn?
Nurse: Agent Jerry, Agent Quinn is taken care of and is looked after. She is in ward 34.
Vic: Thank you.
Nurse: No problem, Agent Vic and Jerry and ... (but before she could finish the gang left)
The group walked down the hall, then turned left. Meanwhile, Ken had heard news that they have arrived and went in search of the gang. Ken spotted them walking.
Ken: Jerry!
Jerry's head jerked as he recognizes the voice immediately, it was Ken's.
Vic: Ken!
Jerry: Where's. (before he could finish)?
Ken: She's down the hall from Quinn. She's fine, just some minor cuts on her palms and elbow. She's having a bit trouble of walking because when she ran, she pulled a muscle. That's all, nothing major. She still looks as pretty and cute as ever (he gave Jerry a wink, teasing Jerry about his forever little sister)
Jerry: I'm going to see her. The gang stopped by Nikkie's ward first. They opened the door and saw that she was propped on the bed watching a basketball game. She looked perfectly fine with her white bandages since she was enthusiastically cheering on the raptors because they were winning.
Vic: Fancy seeing you watching TV so happily, I thought you'll be coming up creative ways of getting out of punishment.
Nikkie turned her head at the sound of the voice and footsteps. When she heard Vic's comment and stuck her tongue out at him. Jerry rushed over to examine his little sister.
Jerry: That was very bad of you; you didn't follow my orders and could have gotten yourself killed. (his voice was stern and he was scolding her, yet there is a hint of fondness and worry in his tone)
Nikkie hung her head low to avoid her brother's intense glance knowing all too well that he was right. : I'm sorry (she whispered)
He sat down on her bed and ruffled her hair: It's okay, you alright? Feel any pain? Did the doctor check over you yet?
Nikkie: (smiled brightly and shyly) Yeah, I can go, but I thought I'll wait for you guys here, plus there's a TV to watch the game (she laughed)
Vic: You sure?
Nikkie: Yeah I'm fine, no pain. I can't feel my legs tho, but that's about the only thing.
Madison: (half crying) I thought you'll leave me alone, you scared me! You and Quinn both scared me!
Nikkie: How's Quinn? Actually what exactly did she do? (slightly confused)
Da S: Disobeyed orders like you and ran in without permission. She sure wiped them out clean, only a couple of them escaped. But we caught a few more. And now she's injured.
Nikkie: Oh.. (speechless)
Vanesse: She's down the hall from you. When we went into the parking lot, it was filled with smoke and flying pieces. We found her lying on the ground unconscious.
Zaozi: We were going to go see her, but we realize that you're here so..
Nikkie: Let's go see her.
Jerry: But you can't walk! (he protested)
Nikkie: But I wanna see Quinn! (she whined)
Jerry: Alright, I'll carry you. (he lifted her and carried her) They arrived in Quinn's ward.
Jerry: You're so light, you better eat more.
Nikkie: Shut up! I need to keep my weight down so I look good!
Jerry: So skinny and say need to keep weight down? (he half muttered and half complained)
Ken: Quit arguing! They sat or stood around Quinn's bed. The oxygen mask was removed from her face. She lay there on the bed, with her hair plastered on her face. Her face was washed away all the grime and filth, they all guessed that it must have been the nurse's job. Seconds and minutes ticked by. They looked at Quinn in silence, only the sound of the machine beep.beep...beep...can be heard. Quinn was more severely injured than Nikkie because she was closer to the bomb. So she suffered from 1st degree burns and bandages covered almost all her body. Finally Quinn stirred.
Ken: Think she's moving.
Several seconds later, Quinn woke up.
Madison: You're awake, you're alright! (nearly jumped onto Quinn)
Quinn: I never knew you loved me so much (she softly and weakly said as she mocked Madison)
Madison (pouted): You still mock me, you got me so scared!
Rainie: We were all very worried.
Da S: You were very brave but.
Jerry: You broke the rules, didn't follow orders, hurt yourself and put the team in a dangerous position.
Quinn: I'm sorry, I was acting on impulse.
Voice: And you used all my equipment the wrong way so now they're all screwed it up and have to be repaired. They all turned and look, when Jerry and Vanesse stepped aside, they saw it was Qing he and a high-ranking executive in front of them.
Quinn: Professior Qing he and director Kun. (she weakly tried to sit up and salute director Kun)
The rest saluted: Professior Qing he and director Kun.
D. Kun walked over to help Quinn sit: Quinn, how are you feeling? You have broken this major case for us.
Quinn: I have? (eyes shinning)
D. Kun: Yes, you have.
Quinn: Yay! (she smiled)
D. Kun: Don't be happy just yet. Because of your impulsiveness, you are now under watchful eyes to track your every move to ensure that if won't happen again. And that goes for you too, Nikkie. (he narrowed his eyes at her)
Quinn and Nikkie: Yes.
D. Kun: None the less, everyone, listen to me. After Nikkie has been discharged tomorrow from the hospital, all of you must come to my office. Besides from additional training the juniors need, we have a new case on hand.
Rainie: Additional training?
Madison: But why?
D. Kun: Thanks to your pals here, especially her (pointing at Nikkie then at Quinn-especially her refers to Quinn) I have decided that the juniors need more training in controlling their emotions when in battle.
Rainie and Madison: Quinn! (they sighed and groaned)
Nikkie: Hehe!
Madison: You too!
Vanesse: Well looks like we'll have fun! (he mocked the junior agents)
Vic: You are able to be discharged tml? (he asked Nikkie)
Qing he: Yes she is. We went to ask the doctor and he said yes when we found out there is another mission for your team to take on.
Da S: I think we should go and have her rest then.
Jerry: We'll come back tml for you then head over to his office together.
The rest obliged and left. (As for Quinn, she remained in the hospital for a couple of more days. But she was able to go on the next mission because it was not considered a difficult mission) Fast forward to the next day.
The next day they went to find Director Kun. He waited patiently by his desk for his agents to arrive. The gang arrived to his office all dressed up in their uniforms. The uniform was basically all black. Jerry and Vic had the black leather pants on, if it's not leather then it's another black cloth material. Guess they decided to look posh that day. They had tight fitting sleeveless shirt, and a long coat on the outside. There are silver lining designs on the shirt and jacket. Vanessa had opted for the black button down shirt, black pants and long jacket, while Ken had gone for the tight sleeveless shirt, black pants but a short coat. Meanwhile the girls all look very pretty in their uniforms as well. Da S had worn tight fitting black pants that flares slightly at the bottom and sleeveless black tight fitting shirt with detached sleeves on her arms (u know.. leg warmers? But only they go on your arms type? Yeah that type-author) with platforms. Zaozi had gone for a bottom down black shirt leaves ¾ long, short skirt with boots. Rainie had gone for long back bottom down shirt but pants (same as da S) with heels. Quinn had opted for the tight sleeveless shirt, long jacket, pants (same as da S) and plat form. Madison had gone black sweater, skirt and shirt black jacket with boots. On Nikkie, she had boots tight sleeveless shirt, black short skirt and boots.
D. Kun smiled approving at his smartly dressed agents.
Jerry: D. Kun we're here.
D. Kun: Have a seat.
They all sat down around a small conference table.
D. Kun: we have a new assignment for your team, the SwiftBlades. There is a jewellery gallery open at the end of this week. But there are some worries about the security. Last month, a large sum of jewellery was stolen at a Switzerland bank. It was their main branch, and a big sum of money was lost. 3 weeks ago, over in Tiffany's jewellery shop in New York City, in broad daylight, all the diamonds and pearls were stolen. And recently last week, at a fashion show, where they were displaying jewellery to go with the latest fashion in Taiwan, 4 sets of diamonds were stolen. They were all precious and are the one and only set available globally. That night, 12 sets of pearls were stolen, 5 sets of rubies and 2 sets of gold and some other precious gems were all lost.
D. Kun's assistant: it is believed that these are all organized crimes and is performed by the same group. Sources are collected that this will be their next target.
Jerry: Then why are they still having it?
Assistant: It is because booking was made before and some of the payments for renting the place are paid and other fees were spent as well. It was widely advertised before; there was no way to back out.
D. Kun: We have agreed to provide the best security and support we can. Don't let me down. Jerry: What is our assignment?
D. Kun: Figure out the roles yourself, I need one of the girls to act as a model to wear the jewellery. We are suspecting that they'll be attacking when the models are show casing the jewellery so they can take the models as hostages.
Vic: Isn't it dangerous for the gals then?
D. Kun: But they're trained!
Vic: .
D. Kun: 2 girls might be better as a model than one then if you're so worried. I also need a guy and a girl to wander and mingle around to see if they can find any people suspicious. Meaning you will flirt with the people there. The others I want you guys around the jewellery cases and pretending to appraise them, and admire them and all that. When the attack comes, strike them and capture them. You all will need formal wear, so that means you will not be fighting in uniforms. (He turned and stared at his agents.) Are my orders clear?
Gang: Yes, sir!
Vanesse: Don't worry. We'll get this fixed!
The gang retreated to Jerry's office room. There they went over the task at hand.
" So who is going to be the model? Any one of you going to volunteer?" Jerry asked the group. He looked around his room, silence was his answer. None of the girls spoke or looked at him. " Well shall we draw names them? Or do you guys want rock paper scissors?" He was feeling very irritated. Still, he was met with silence. " Alright then, any nomination from the guys?" The guys just shrugged. Jerry threw his hands up in defeat. "Would you guys say something? Any one of you? AHH!!"
" I'll go for the draw. Therefore it's fair and square" Vic suggested, feeling a little bit of sympathy for Jerry.
"I think that Madison or Zaozi would make a good choice." Vanesse chimed in. "Well I'll throw in my 2 cents then, I think Da S or Rainie would fit for the job description"
But Jerry still remain unsure of what to do.
"Let's just go for the draw... Geeze!" Nikkie said.
Jerry got some sticks, and decided that the 2 girls who got the shortest sticks would be the models. The girls gathered around him, and in the end Rainie and Zaozi ended up with the shortest sticks. Zaozi was enraged.
" Damn! Damn! Damn! I thought I would be lucky and not get it! Ah, why me?!" she screamed.
"Chill girl, watch your language!" Ken chuckled.
" I don't want to do it either, I'm not pretty and tall enough. Plus I'm also clumsy and klutzy" Rainie blabbed on and on.
" Calm down. You just have to walk out, stand still and smile and oh! Don't forget to keep alert of the attackers" Ken snickered.
The rest of the girls could only laugh at their reaction and tease the 2 of them.
" Don't worry. Anyways, this mission cannot fail. Now who is going to be the 2 to mingle around?" Jerry asked.
"I vote for Nikkie and Vanesse" Madison piped in.
" Hey am I that much of a flirt?" Nikkie inquired.
" Hell yeah!" Madison replied. The rest of them just laughed. " Fine." Nikkie grumbled, not minding the job, but annoyed that they ganged up on her and feel that way about her.
" So you up for it, Vanesse?" Vic asked.
" Well it's not like you'll do it, and I don't think Jerry is very suited, with his temper and range of patience. He's gonna explode at all those girls that's going to be flocking him." Vanesse laughed and rolled around in Jerry's room. Jerry blushed, but retorted back. " Hey! I can't help that lovely ladies like to flock me. But I sure have very exquisite taste. I need the perfect one and I can't waste my time on them. And what do you mean about my temper?"
"er.. nothing. hee hee" Vanesse tried to muffle his laughter.
" Well I don't mind doing it if Vanesse isn't up for it, I am quite a women charmer" Ken stated and flash one those sweet charming smiles of his that will melt every female's heart.
" Yeah right! And I ought to say you have very bad taste in women." Zaozi piped in. " Watever!" He stated back.
" Well then I guess the rest of us will linger around the cases, now that all the important jobs have been settled" Jerry stated.
" But I still want to know what I'm doing in the mission!" da S exclaimed.
" Fine. We will assign the other roles too. I think 2 people should be the master of ceremonies at the show so that they can oversee the auditorium and observe what everyone is doing. Then someone has to be the usher to lead that guests to their seats and also check if they are suspicious. And lastly, we need someone to be waiters to serve the guests and remain close to the audience." Jerry said.
" I can be the MC since I really don't like to be a server or usher." volunteered Vic.
" I can be the other MC too, cuz I'm very clumsy and might spilling to drinks over." said da S.
" I want to be the usher, so I can check out the females too." Ken winked and smiled as he volunteered for the job.
" Then I guess it's only Quinn and me that have to be the waiters. Humph! Not fair! All the good roles have been taken!" Madison pouted.
" All that remains is me. I guess I will be the door opener so that I can monitor who is going in and out of the auditorium. I guess it's all settled then! Meeting adjourned!" Jerry announced.
With that the meeting ended and they left his room.
But of course, what is a base without underground levels? (lol - coauthor) The 2 floors below the community centre are classrooms, where junior agents receive their lessons on combat strategies and leadership skills. The floor beneath those 2 levels is the training centre, where agents can train their firing skills, fighting skills, and other combat skills.

They lined up waiting to be cleared past security, a beeping sound was heard. Streaks of lights came out and before they know it, the scan was done.
Madison: Aww! It makes my eyes watery every time.
Vic: You okay?
Madison: Yeah. Why don't they have a palm check instead? I don't like the retina scan, it makes my eye watery.
Da S: It's probably cuz you don't have enough sleep.
Madison: Could be. (she shrugged)

When the attack comes, strike them and capture them. You all will need formal wear, so that means you will not be fighting in uniforms. (He turned and stared at his agents.) Are my orders clear?
Gang: Yes, sir!
Vanesse: Don't worry. We'll get this fixed!
The gang retreated to Jerry's office room. There they went over the task at hand.
" So who is going to be the model? Any one of you going to volunteer?" Jerry asked the group. He looked around his room, silence was his answer. None of the girls spoke or looked at him. " Well shall we draw names them? Or do you guys want rock paper scissors?" He was feeling very irritated. Still, he was met with silence. " Alright then, any nomination from the guys?" The guys just shrugged. Jerry threw his hands up in defeat. "Would you guys say something? Any one of you? AHH!!"
" I'll go for the draw. Therefore it's fair and square" Vic suggested, feeling a little bit of sympathy for Jerry.
"I think that Madison or Zaozi would make a good choice." Vanesse chimed in. "Well I'll throw in my 2 cents then, I think Da S or Rainie would fit for the job description"
But Jerry still remain unsure of what to do.
"Let's just go for the draw... Geeze!" Nikkie said.
Jerry got some sticks, and decided that the 2 girls who got the shortest sticks would be the models. The girls gathered around him, and in the end Rainie and Zaozi ended up with the shortest sticks. Zaozi was enraged.
" Damn! Damn! Damn! I thought I would be lucky and not get it! Ah, why me?!" she screamed.
"Chill girl, watch your language!" Ken chuckled.
" I don't want to do it either, I'm not pretty and tall enough. Plus I'm also clumsy and klutzy" Rainie blabbed on and on.
" Calm down. You just have to walk out, stand still and smile and oh! Don't forget to keep alert of the attackers" Ken snickered.
The rest of the girls could only laugh at their reaction and tease the 2 of them.
" Don't worry. Anyways, this mission cannot fail. Now who is going to be the 2 to mingle around?" Jerry asked.
"I vote for Nikkie and Vanesse" Madison piped in.
" Hey am I that much of a flirt?" Nikkie inquired.
" Hell yeah!" Madison replied. The rest of them just laughed. " Fine." Nikkie grumbled, not minding the job, but annoyed that they ganged up on her and feel that way about her.
" So you up for it, Vanesse?" Vic asked.
" Well it's not like you'll do it, and I don't think Jerry is very suited, with his temper and range of patience. He's gonna explode at all those girls that's going to be flocking him." Vanesse laughed and rolled around in Jerry's room. Jerry blushed, but retorted back. " Hey! I can't help that lovely ladies like to flock me. But I sure have very exquisite taste. I need the perfect one and I can't waste my time on them. And what do you mean about my temper?"
"er.. nothing. hee hee" Vanesse tried to muffle his laughter.
" Well I don't mind doing it if Vanesse isn't up for it, I am quite a women charmer" Ken stated and flash one those sweet charming smiles of his that will melt every female's heart.
" Yeah right! And I ought to say you have very bad taste in women." Zaozi piped in. " Watever!" He stated back.
" Well then I guess the rest of us will linger around the cases, now that all the important jobs have been settled" Jerry stated.
" But I still want to know what I'm doing in the mission!" da S exclaimed.
" Fine. We will assign the other roles too. I think 2 people should be the master of ceremonies at the show so that they can oversee the auditorium and observe what everyone is doing. Then someone has to be the usher to lead that guests to their seats and also check if they are suspicious. And lastly, we need someone to be waiters to serve the guests and remain close to the audience." Jerry said.
" I can be the MC since I really don't like to be a server or usher." volunteered Vic.
" I can be the other MC too, cuz I'm very clumsy and might spilling to drinks over." said da S.
" I want to be the usher, so I can check out the females too." Ken winked and smiled as he volunteered for the job.
" Then I guess it's only Quinn and me that have to be the waiters. Humph! Not fair! All the good roles have been taken!" Madison pouted.
" All that remains is me. I guess I will be the door opener so that I can monitor who is going in and out of the auditorium. I guess it's all settled then! Meeting adjourned!" Jerry announced.
With that the meeting ended and they left his room.
