Leaving my apartment building, walking toward the black car

Leaving my apartment building, walking toward the black car. The air feels colder than ever, this might be a sign of what to expect in today's mission. But I'm still feeling optimistic that the mission will be accomplished without anything tragic happening.

I try opening the backseat door handle, but it is locked.

"Open the door, it's freezing out here" I demanded. The cold air is seeping through my body. I wish I could blow a hot breath into my hands to keep myself warm, but I have a lot of spy gear that I'm carrying.

The front seat mirror rolls down. I see the face of John, wearing pitch-black sunglasses while holding onto the steering wheel.

"What's the password?" He asks, looking at me and waiting for my response. Rolling my eyes and sighing at him. But I'm used to this since we can't let anyone inside our car without showing identification or knowing the secret password.

"Boston 226" Saying the password to him. He unlocks the car, which allows me to open the door. Getting inside the car and holding the spy gear in my lap. I close the door once I feel comfortable in my seat.

There are two other spy members inside the car. The person sitting next to me is Seni Bello, also known as Agent Seni. She's a Nigerian-American spy that joined our agency one year ago. She grew to become one of our most reliable agents. In the beginning, she was lost, naïve, and had a lot of nerves. Though, every spy even the professionals starts rough. But we trained her to be the best spy she can be. She is still young, only twenty-five years of age, so she has a lot more to learn. I'm just glad she's holding her own.

The other spy sitting next to John is Bobby Smith, also known as Agent Graves. He's a Caucasian man in his late 30s and has been a spy for ten years. He used to work as a spy for Russia, but he quit since their leader was a lunatic and harmed normal civilians. He did not stand for that, so he moved to New York to work for our agency. He is a top-tier spy, his agent name explains it all since he puts every enemy to their graves.

Then, there is John Boston, also known as Agent Snipe. He is the leader of our agency. He has been the leader for twenty years after his father, who created the agency, died. Currently, John is fifty-three years of age, but he still looks young and sets an example of how a professional spy should be. A lot of times he likes to joke around, but he only does that to lighten the mood and create a family dynamic in our agency. He's African-American but treats every spy equally no matter what gender or race they are.

"So here's the plan: once we arrive, we will park the car five minutes away from the building so that he won't notice that spies are coming. We will use the droid to see if it's safe to go inside because we don't know if he has bodyguards surrounding the building, so we have to be careful. Once it's safe, we raid the building, save the victims, and arrest the bad man." Agent Snipe tells all of us.
