Gunpoint Avenue

Chapter 9: The Next Mission, Part 1

"Welcome back, Agent Dawn!" Agent Snipe says.

"I'm so happy to see you!" Agent Seni tells me.

"We missed you already!" Agent Graves tells me.

Arrive at Agent Snipe's office in the agency building. Already, I'm getting support from different agents. I love how united and supportive they are.

"Thank you. What is today's mission about?" I ask, not wasting any time.

"There's a gang full of criminals trying to steal money and important artifacts at the Bronx Museum of the arts. There are a lot of them and they are armed and loaded. So make sure you bring a lot of weapons just in case they start shooting." Agent Snipe reports.

"Got it!" I said. Everyone else nods their head in agreement. Before I could do anything, Agent Snipe points at me to come in his direction.

"Agent Dawn, are you sure you are okay to join this mission?" He asks.

"What do you mean?" I curiously ask him.

"That last mission left you distraught. I don't want that to happen again. Your physical and mental health is the most important." He explains.

"No need to worry, I'm doing good now. All I care about is stopping those criminals." I stay confident to avoid any of my lies to show.

"Alright. Well, let's stop some bad guys!" He said. We both leave his office.

I head towards the bathroom. This is the only place where I get some privacy to pray. I always pray before any missions. I pray next to the mirrors, which gives me a feeling that I'm speaking to God directly.

"Dear God heavenly almighty, please protect me during this mission. Don't let me get hurt or make the same mistakes as the last mission. Forgive me for killing Julian and treating the boy improperly. If I had the power to re-do situations, I would have handled the situation better. So please forgive me and let this mission go well. Keep my mental and physical well-being safe. Thank you for everything. In the name, I praise your holy name, Amen!"

We made it to the Bronx Museum of the arts, but we parked 4 buildings down so that we won't get noticed by the enemies.

There are 10 of our top-tier agents: Agent Snipe, Agent Seni, Agent Graves, Agent Clandestine, Agent Indigo, Agent Elite, Agent Thorn, Agent Meduza, Agent Park, and myself.

We could have stormed into the building and started attacking them, but we don't do that. It may be the quickest way to do it as police officers and swat teams are famous. We're professionally trained spies, so we sneak our way in without causing too much commotion.

Agent Snipe and Agent Thorn are highly advanced in technology, so they use surveillance and drones to see how many bad guys are inside.

"Wow..." Agent Park is left speechless. We're all wondering what is going on.

"There are over 50 enemies in the museum. They are scattered throughout the building, so it's going to be difficult sneaking in and not causing a scene." Agent Snipe reveals.

"Damn!" Agent Indigo lets out her frustration. I don't blame her for being upset.

My question is why are there 50 enemies in one museum? What is so important in there that a lot of people have to steal it? Not even an average heist got this many people. Hopefully, no innocent people got hurt or killed. I don't want another life being perished today.

"Is there an area where there are fewer enemies so that we may take them out and get rid of the rest?" I ask. They check to see real quick.

"There are six guys with guns at the back. So we can carefully go through the back." Agent Snipe says.

"Is everyone ready?" Agent Park asks.

"I'm ready to defeat some enemies!" Agent Graves confidently says.

"Same here!" I added. We all laugh and cheer with confidence.

"Alright. Agent Graves, Agent Indigo, Agent Seni, Agent Clandestine, and Agent Dawn will head to the back. Try your best to not cause too much of a scene since there are a lot of bad guys. But if they start shooting, you can shoot back but I suggest tasing or knocking them out. We didn't come here to take lives and stoop to their level. We are a World of Agents and we defuse situations. Is everyone ready?" He asks.

"Yeah!" We all say in unison.

The assigned agents leave the car and start walking to the museum. Thank goodness that we all have to carry belts so that it would not be a hassle holding our equipment. Sometimes, I do wish we didn't park far during missions. But I'm glad that Agent Snipe wants all of us to stay safe.

"Who's ready to whoop some bad boys?" Agent Clandestine asks, giddy about what's going to happen real soon.

"You already know that I'm excited. It's been a long time since I used my fists to knock out some fools." Agent Graves replies.

"I agree as well. Why would fifty people want to steal from a museum? If it was a bank, it would make sense. But museums only have art and ancient history items." Agent Indigo comments.

"I'm just afraid that someone will get severely hurt." Agent Seni adds in her concerns.

"No need to worry. No one will get hurt." I try calming her down.

"Let's think about it for a second. There are 50 enemies with guns and only ten of us. That's an unfair advantage. I feel like one of us will get hurt." She explains.

"I understand your concern, but remember that we're all professionally trained spies. The only people getting hurt today are those bad guys. Even though they have guns, our specialized skills will defeat them instantly." I tell her.

"We're almost there. Let's hide in the trees for some minutes. Then, when the time is right, we strike!" Agent Graves announces.

We all run to the trees without making noise or anyone noticing us. I spot the enemies once we got closer. All of the 10 guards are scattered around the back, heavily blocking the entrance. They all look like they are ready to kill at any moment, but they don't know what they're in store for.
