Chapter 7: Identity Revealed

Michiru gasped as the gunshots rang through her earpiece, nearly making her go deaf on one side of her head. Agent Tomiko!! Agent Tenoh! Do you copy?! Fixating the last explosive to the wall she ran outside to the extraction point, hoping to find at least one other agent there. Silence. Base ops! This is Agent Kaioh! What the bloody hell happened?!

Filled with static, the response was barely audible, Someone knows you're there! Get your ass to the embassy in Vienna! Extraction in 4 hours!

What about the other agents!? Agent Tomiko is wounded!

We're still trying to establish communication with them! Now get out of there!!! The Director was nearly crushing the microphone with his grip, with two agents presumed dead he didn't need a third.

The aqua haired agent refused however to accept that and threw her earpiece on the ground, silently sneaking back into the building to find Maren and hopefully Haruka. Searching through the lab, she suddenly realized that she had stepped in blood, looking around to see the source. Oh my god Agent Tomiko! Running over to him she pulled out her emergency rescue and began applying heavy pressure to his side. She detected a faint pulse in him, and his breathing was extremely soft. Maren! Maren can you hear me!? She shouted, too worried to notice a dark shadow approaching behind her.

You're too late Agent Kaioh. A low husky voice called out from the shadows. Turning her head Michiru saw Haruka walking towards them, her gun held in one hand.

Agent Tenoh! We have to get Agent Tomiko out of here now! He needs medical attention! She replied frantically.

The blonde chuckled before pointing her gun at Michiru. What the hell are you doing!? Agent Kaioh cursed, maintaining her pressure on Maren.

The same thing that I did to him, naturally. Haruka replied, removing the safety from her gun. Suddenly a shot rang out and Michiru closed her eyes anticipating death, when she heard the clang on the floor as the metal clashed with a desk and the tiled floor. Before she could comprehend what had just happened, she found herself held at knifepoint with a tight grip around her throat constricting her airways.

Well well well, Agent Tenoh. Fancy seeing you here. The blonde holding Michiru grinned, slowly backing up.

Let her go, she has nothing to do with this. Michiru blinked several times, seeing doubles of Haruka; one holding her and one pointing a gun towards herself and her captor.

The person chuckled again, tightening his grip on the aqua haired agent. Wouldn't you know, this is the second time I managed to take your girl. One would think to learn from their own mistakes. But you are a lot stronger than I thought you were ... I was hoping that you would be taken out of that explosion in a body bag.

You don't anticipate a lot of things from me, Dr. Markusson. Haruka glared, gritting her teeth tightly.

The person grinned, So you finally figured out who I am. It's about bloody time damnit. Well Agent Tenoh, you have a decision to make, and not a whole lot of time to think on it. You have an agent down that is on the brink of death, and another who is captive by a madman. You know you can't save both, so what are you going to do, hmm? Time's slowly ticking away. Tick tock ... tick tock ...

Shoot me ... Michiru gasped out, weakly trying to get oxygen back into her system.

Shut up! Dr. Markusson whispered, giving the girl a violent thrust, Haruka needs to learn how to make her own decisions now. Silence hovered over them, with a few gasps for air from either Michiru or Maren. Agent Kaioh and her captor continued to move backwards towards the door, Haruka still holding her gun towards them. I'm afraid time's up Agent Tenoh, and you still have yet to make up your mind. Emotions are what makes you weak, and ultimately, kill you. I think I'll take Agent Kaioh with me, she'll make a good subject. Goodnight. Out of nowhere, the door behind Michiru and Dr. Markusson flew open and a few commando-clad men rushed in, firing at Haruka. The blonde agent rolled over a desk and hid behind it, using it as a shield against the bullets.

The firing ceased, and the screeching of tires could be heard a short distance outside. Haruka jumped to her feet to help Maren, pulling her cell phone out and calling for paramedics, furious with herself for still not avenging her fiancée's death and letting them take another.
