Seiya paced around in his large comfortable office, ruining the
smooth gray fur carpet. The tension was driving him insane! He would be
having a meeting with the head of the CIA to discuss this latest crime. The
two agencies were long-time rivals and did not work together unless there
was an implacably large crime committed and was simply too big for one
agency to handle. These kinds of situations rarely, almost never, happened.
But this time both agencies were willing to make an exception.
Seiya began to pace faster in frustration. The La Mortes and the La Femmes have almost pulled the largest crime of the century right behind his back. If that chip was really stolen, then it would cost the government almost half the budget to replace it. But that would not have been the complete worry, the chip might also have landed in the wrong hands. If the contents of the chip were seen by the wrong people, then the existence of the whole world might have been threatened. Seiya still could not shake this fear off him.
'Thank God they were both competing for it' thought Seiya with relief.
Indeed the direct competition between the La Mortes and the La Femmes for the chip has saved the world from. Seiya predicted that since both organizations were after the same thing, neither was able to get it because they had run into each other head on and had a big confrontation that caused them to be discovered. From what he has learned from the soldiers at the scene of the crime, there were 4 people in the security room, three women and one man. Seiya had a good idea of who they were. Given their description, Seiya had no trouble recognizing the two La Morte lieutenants, Minako Aino and Rei Hino. They were the top members of the La Morte gang and from personal experience, Seiya knew they were good and should not be underestimated despite their age.
But it was the description of the man and the other woman that puzzled Seiya. The woman was reported to have long blond hair and medium height, wearing a full leather suit. Some soldiers, who saw her face, had reported her to be breathtakingly attractive. The man was reported to have shoulder length white hair with a tint of blue in them. He was reported to have a rather muscular body too. The soldiers who were chasing these two people, have said that they run with great speed and the shooting skills of the woman is simply amazing. Seiya knew that they were not lying with all the dead bodies littering the destroyed hallway that he found. The man was reported to have thrown the bomb that caused the ceiling of that hallway to collapse, causing many more deaths and millions for the government budget to repair. Through all this description, Seiya had no doubt that the poor unskilled soldiers have actually encountered both the La Morte and the La Femme leaders themselves.
'Well, at least I have some description on them now' sighed Seiya with fatigue. He had not slept for days and has developed large bangs underneath his eyes to show for it. To be exact, he has not slept for four nights in a row now, starting with the night of the big crime. His agents were starting to get worried about his health and nagged him millions of times to get some rest. Seiya simply shrugged them off, getting very annoyed each time. He refused to sleep until he has found at least some way to tract down the top two crime organizations of the world that were responsible for causing the government all this hassle.
"Mr. Kou, Mr. Conor is here to see you" came the voice of his secretary over his intercom, breaking Seiya out of his thoughts.
"Send him in" replied Seiya calmly, not matching his inner feelings at all.
A minute later, a tall dark brown haired man came in. He was wearing a suit and looked very confident with each step that he took towards Seiya's desk. He looked to be in his mid 40s with his neat trimmed brown mustache and wrinkle forehead. He looked to be the serious family type man.
"Welcome, Mr. Conor. Please have a seat" said Seiya motioning to a soft leather chair in front of his desk. "As you know, I'm Seiya Kou, the head of the investigation department of the FBI. I think that we have met earlier in the year during the charity ball?" Conor nodded. He did recall meeting him during the ball, which he attended with his wife. Of course, who would not recall meeting Seiya Kou, the youngest agent to get this position in the FBI that many hard working old agents craved. The ball was one of the biggest events of the year and simply required his attendance, but he did not mind going as he enjoyed himself greatly there.
"Nice to see you again, Mr. Kou, although it is my great wishes that we did not have to meet again under this kind of circumstance" replied Conor. He admired Seiya for the amount of effort he put into his investigations. Seiya made one tough rival to beat and its no wonder he got promoted to the head of the FBI at such a young age. It was rather awkward for Conor to be talking to Seiya using such formal respect since Seiya was the same age as his oldest son. Conor definitely saw an even brighter future in store for Seiya.
"Yes, I quite agree, Mr. Conor. But since we did meet under this circumstance, it is time that both agencies bonded together to form a plan to finally stop the out of control La Mortes and La Femmes. Without them, our nation, no, the whole world, would be a lot more peaceful" stated Seiya. Conor nodded in agreement.
"I do have an idea in which we can stop them, Mr. Kou" spoke Conor. Seiya nodded for him to continue.
"Our agency has proposed that we sent an agent into both the La Morte and the La Femme group. They, of course, will be our top agents. From there, they will stay loyal to the group under any circumstances until they finally get into the inner circle. From there on, everything else would be easy to accomplish. The agents could be our source of information from the groups." Seiya considered this plan deeply and replayed it again in his head.
"Sending a spy in would take too long" Seiya stated boldly.
"Yes, but it is the only way we could think of considering the tight security that both groups have placed around themselves" answered Conor calmly.
"I see" pondered Seiya "but what would happen if the agents got caught?"
"That is a risk that they are willing to take" replied Conor "both agents know about our current situation with the La Mortes and the La Femmes. They have no doubt that if the groups do catch them, there would be immediate death for them."
"I take it that there is a big promotion for success?" asked Seiya interestingly.
"Yes, Mr. Kou. Only our top agents are permitted to undertake this task. We are not willing to take any lower chances. If these agents do get caught, then our whole operation would be blown. After all, word does get spread fast on the streets. But the reward for success is an instant promotion to lieutenancy."
"Well, so far, I see this operation as the only solution to our current situation. Although I am still against this idea, I do see the great benefit of success in it" said Seiya with thought.
"Thank you Mr. Kou. I take it that you agree to this whole operation starting right away?" asked a hopeful Conor.
"Yes, but let me warn you, Mr. Conor, that the La Mortes and the La Femmes will be your agencies toughest challenge yet" stated Seiya in a cold tone.
"I am fully aware of that, Mr. Kou. After all, I have dealt with some of their cases myself and I expect no less from them" replied Conor with confidence.
"You may have dealt with some of their cases but it is nothing compared to their leaders in action." Seiya warned again. Conor was starting to get annoyed by these constant warnings.
"Yes, I am aware of that too, Mr. Kou. This is why our two agencies were assigned together on this case. I hope that your previous experiences with them will help us in our latest operation."
"Well then, Mr. Conor, I give the best of luck to your agents and I will try to assist them in any way I can" said Seiya in a cold tone, recognizing the edge of annoyance in Conor's voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Kou. Me and my agents are looking forward to us working together" replied Conor with a smile. He slowly stood up and shook Seiya's hand before he went to the door.
"Once again, Mr., Kou, thank you for your cooperation" added Conor before he left the room "Our operation will start on Monday." Seiya nodded as Conor closed the door behind him. Right when the door was shut, Seiya frowned with dissatisfaction.
That man had no idea of what he was getting himself into. He might have been the head of the CIA but Seiya was sure that he had not dealt with gangs such as the La Mortes or the La Femmes before. These two crime organizations would most likely lead his agency into a wild goose chase. Seiya was sure that both gangs have prepared for this kind of situations and have ways in keeping unwanted spies out of their group. Seiya had once heard of some test of loyalty that both groups required of their inner members. It was said to be impossible to pass by truly dishonest members. This, of course, puzzled Seiya. How could they make up a spy proof test? Seiya sat in his comfortable leather chair facing the window and began to ponder this question. But he knew one thing for sure. The CIA would not succeed in their latest operation.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
I am currently sitting in Math class, having no idea as to what the teacher was yapping about. I think that it's something about integers. I look around the room. Other people were not doing much better than me. Some were passing notes and whispering among themselves behind the teacher's back. Some where doing their other classes' homework and some were just staring out the window and daydreaming. I think that I even saw a couple people asleep.
I glanced sideways at Lita and Ami. Ami was concentrating hard on what the boring teacher was saying, the only one that's actually paying attention in class. Lita was busy reading some kind of new comic under her desk. I took a note to myself to borrow that comic from Lita later. Anything that could keep her attention span for that long must be interesting. Meanwhile, I took at this time as the perfect opportunity to reflect the past week.
It has been five days since the big night of failure and things have gone rather more smoothly than I thought. My gang did not take the loss as such a big deal and we all just moved on with our lives. I think that it was me, Rei and Mina that made this whole operation such a big deal from the start, the other La Morte members were just happy that the La Femmes did not get the chip either. I came back to Tokyo 3 days ago and began school again this Monday. It is currently Tuesday.
When I came back, everything was as it had been before I left. Classes were still boring and people started to make fun of me again. It looks like that they had all forgotten about me "big loss" already. The only people that actually remembered me announcing my uncle's death last week were Lita and Ami, and maybe the teachers, who still looked kind of sympathetically at me. I was glad that the whole student body had forgotten. I would have it no other way.
I have a feeling that Diamond La Femme and I will meet again someday, and I hope that it is not anytime soon. The way he was looking at me that night just sent chills down my spine, which I took great care to hide. If he wasn't my sworn enemy, Usagi Tsukino would be daydreaming about him right now and even Serena La Morte would consider him charming. But too bad that he is my number one rival. I see absolutely no future for the two of us being together and I think that he would agree with me.
Well, basically, everything was back to normal. My school life and my crime life all went on as usual and I was settled back into my daily routine. Easter holidays would be coming up very soon and I am seriously looking forward to getting off school. I am planning to spend half my time with Ami and Lita and the other half with Mina and Rei. I have a feeling that both are going to be fun. Man, I can't wait for Easter to begin!
