One Mission Down, About A Billion To Go
The olive-green puck-shaped device suctioned onto the metal container, emitting a furious whir, then an abrupt click. A red LED flashed to signal its new state of readiness. Dakota Stanton judged the scene, circling the rookie agents’ handiwork.
“Don’tcha worry, he ain’t hurt or nothin’.” Kim reassured, pointing at the unconscious corporate security guard. Too much of a klutz for stealth, Kim preferred a more direct approach when dealing with the competition.
Dakota pinched the bridge of her nose, speaking with a corrective tone. “He’s demonstrably hurt, Kim. I think you mean to say, he isn’t dead?”
“’Zactly.” Sybil took the baton. “The charges are planted. Shouldn’t we be gettin’ outta here?”
“Well, actually...” Dakota cleared her throat, directing her comrades’ attention to that same unconscious security guard, laying in a heap on the floor. “We can’t just leave him here...”
Sybil groaned. “You always gotta make this so hard, don’tcha Stanton?”
Sybil complained. Always the helper, Kimberly swooped in to carry the corporate thug by his shoulders, distributing the load. He was still heavy. Note to self: weight training is a must. They would be carrying him to safety -- Dakota wouldn’t hear otherwise. Destroying stuff? Totally fine. Hurting semi-innocent bystanders? No way. So defeats the purpose of being an evil minion, but Kim accepted Dakota’s moral limitations. She was just too goody-goody.
It was kinda cool, actually.
Top Secret Notes:
Dakota, Sybil, and Kimberly, just as they’ve successfully (almost) completed a plain clothes mission to infiltrate and destroy sensitive, incriminating documents. Every once in awhile, they get sent on a simple job they can complete themselves -- with minimum supervision!
Tobi, Paige, and the rest of the top brass are closely monitoring their progress. They’ll be graded! This mission will so score them a B+, at least!
It’s important to dress for success! When infiltrating a hard-copy data storage warehouse, it’s better to ditch the fancy KSG uniforms and dress like proper business associates.
Kim wanted to put on her manly mustache disguise, but Sybil and Dakota thought it looked too fake. She’ll need to source a more realistic mustache in the near future.
