A two way path

Police Report: Lisa Miller

A young woman was shot in the chest, police found her body at 11:00pm. She was a blonde, female age 26 with clear pale skin. With closer inspection of the body, it turns out that the bullet went through her ribcage and straight into her heart. Her family was given the devastating news from the station, she was part of the working class. She works at the Elephant Publishing house, which strangely enough had  been shutdown back in 1879 for connections with the English Mafia. Along with their boss having a skill in fire arm. The bullet used to kill her was a 9mm steyr, so it was believed she was shot with a steyr M1912. Quite new in the weapon category. Many agents of the IPA are already installed in the Elephant Publishing house from different countries.

1912 Febuary 4th / 10:00 AM

"And that's why I should be on the case" I explained to the English head of the IPA, he looked at me up and down, I chose to continue to look presentable. "Miss Benevin, you only told me the case file, not why we should place you there..." he said scrunching his nose and scratching his bald head in confusion. "Sir, I know the people working there, Sarah Harwood, Thomas Greeth and even  Robert Millhouse, please, just put me into this case" I always wanted to be in a big case, but not just to use as a decoy. I wanted to be in the action, but in this current world, it will be difficult to have my dream come to reality. "I'm sorry Miss Benevin, I can't do that if I let you go in solo, what would the other bases think of us, I mean look at you" he said as he chuckled, I never enjoyed this kind of treatment from other people. It was unnecessary and also makes me really uncomfortable, he dismissed me and I went out of his office. 

I had to walk through large dark halls filled with doors leading to different things. From files, weapons, meeting rooms or offices that are owned by male agents. The hall was always busy, from discussing other missions or to sort out files from outside the IPA to hide ourselves from the outside, people alike walked by with their own different reason of going. I headed to the girls room and headed to my locker, I opened it and looked for my other uniform. Footsteps approached me "Maya, did you get in the case?" it was Jenny, she's a good friend of mine, we both entered the IPA at the same time. Unlike me, she had  blonde short hair and blue eyes, while mine were simple brown eyes and long black hair. "No, they said that I can't because their scared that sending me would make the other bases think twice about us in a bad way, and then he said I mean look at you!" I was annoyed at the head, but he was far superior to me in every way. We both changed into uniform, it was a white long robe, along with it we had to wear black aprons and white, round hats. I headed to the bathroom to prepare myself for work, my long black hair was straight and a bit of a mess, so I took care of it with my own hair brush. I grabbed my ribbon from the pocket I always keep it in for work and tie it to my hair like a ponytail. I put on some make up, though it itched my face at times but as some say "Pain is beauty". Jenny prepared herself by putting on makeup and curling her hair.

After we finished getting ready we left the room, and headed to our post, we walked past others who either came back from missions or are heading to one. "It's more busy then it used to be" I mentioned to Jenny and she agreed "Yeah, it's about the war conspiracy thing, some  countries in Europe are having some conflict, do you think it'll happen?". I wasn't too deep into on what was going on, so I shrugged my shoulders. We headed to the elevator and went inside, there were  buttons on the side with numbers on them from one to nine and next to them were a row of buttons with pictures on them. They were all different, there was a cupcake, a boat, a hammer, a horse, and a soldier. One of them at the top of the row of buttons had IPA on it. I pressed the cupcake button and the number two. After that the doors closed it went up, the tunnels for the elevators were quite dark, Jenny was agitated by it, while I got used to it. "It's going to be fine Jenny nothing has happened to us so far with this elevator" I tried to lift her spirit "So far..." she added nervously. The elevator stopped at the top and we could see other the four different paths that the elevator could take us. It moved forward and after some minutes of waiting, we finally made it to our base.
