Dark Agency

Chapter ten:All Done For the Night

Candy now moves eastward to clear out the remaining henchmen, but the as she progressed the more she felt things were at odds. From the report the agency gave, at least a hundred men were supposed to be at the main building, counting the fifty eight men they had already gotten rid off, it was obvious more enemies were supposed to show up, but the opposite of that was happening and the place seemed rather deserted. 'It could be that they had all gathered to the west in order not to spread their forces thin and increase their chances of taking down the enemy'. But she wasn't too sure so it'd be best to find out from Rogue.
"Agent Rogue, please respond, there seems to be a problem"
"So you've noticed it too Candy?"
" Yes, it seems they are hiding somewhere or maybe they've fled?"
"That is unlikely, I know this feeling all too well, I smell a trap so tread with caution"
"Roger that"

As the agents moved cautious of the trap they may fall into, Gundam grit his teeth as he watched through the cameras waiting for his enemies to fall into range, then all he has to do is press the detonate button and blow them sky high. Even as prideful as he was he knew he couldn't take on dark agents head on and had come up with a plan. First test their skill by sending many henchmen at them while wearing them out. Second, set a trap to get rid of them, and as backup if they escape the trap the remaining men will jump them. And it wasn't long until both Rogue and Candy were in range of Gundam's explosive trap, without hesitation he pressed the detonate button and off went his bomb in colossal flames. He couldn't hold back his laughter as he watched it all unfold, if only the cameras stayed active he could've seen them scream as they evaporate in the flames...
"Idiots, thinking you can come play on my turf and kill my men?, go to hell! Kuhahaha!, Did you see that Todo!"
"Umm... Boss, Todo ain't here"
"What!, Where did he go?!"
"We saw him head out with the men earlier so he's probably dead already"
"That bastard secretary!, What was he thinking, he's supposed to follow my orders. I already told him it'd be safe down here in the underground storage...fine it can't be helped, prepare to move out once the flames die down".
"But boss!"
"What is it again you fuckers!?"
"Are we safe, cause something or someone is cutting his way in here with a sword!"
"What!?, Are you drunk or high, this is why I told you not to mess with the drugs when you're on duty!"
"But boss it's true", another henchman comes to confirm, but it's already too late since the two killers were already inside. Within few minutes Gundam's men were all laying dead on the floor and there was nothing Gundam could have done to prevent it. He starts to take steps back all while quivering in fear as the two intruders approached him.
"You people, who are you?, Are you fuckers even human!?, Who sent you!?"
"Woah there, hold it with the barrage of questions, cause we'll be the ones asking them. I presume you're Gundam. tall, mascular with a scar on his forehead, fits the description... don't worry you won't die, for now that is but I'm sure you'll wish for it soon, you're coming with us, the torture corps will have a lot of fun with you"

After presenting the captured Gundam to the torture corps, which is made up of a group of retrievers who are skilled at gaining information through torture, Rogue made it back his house in exhaustion of course with Candy in tow. Normally he wouldn't be so exhausted after a fight on that scale but cutting through a forty-five centimeter thick steel door with a sword was mentally exhausting. But it didn't look like he was resting anytime soon since Candy looked like she had something to talk about.
"So what could you possibly want to talk about at four am, Candy"
"I still don't understand how you were able to tell that he'd set explosives as traps, and how you were able to locate all of them?"
"What's that?, Are you still scared that you nearly died to day?"
"M-me!?, It's not that, I'm not so weak that I'd die from such a an explosion, but I wouldn't have come out unscathed either. It's just that, when I look at you I still feel like I'm really lacking, and I hate that feeling"
"I see, of its that then you don't have to worry, you're not lacking that much, all you need is experience since you're still a noob. The reason I can do these things is because I'm experienced, unlike you who is doing your first mission in your twenties, I started training as an assassin at the age of five, for a stupid reason as getting revenge for my family that was murdered. By the time I turned ten, I had already gotten what I wanted but I still couldn't stop killing since I had drowned in my ambition. I've been doing this for the past seventeen years, even if you honed your skills to the maximum of your capability, you still wouldn't be able to beat my experience, that's all there is to it. Once I was able sensed the trap with my killer instinct which is like a sixth sense I developed as a result of my experiences, deducing what the trap was was a piece of cake. Firstly the only thing an arms dealer would readily have to set a trap is what he deals in, I'm talking about the explosives, secondly they definitely have a secret room at the main building where they keep illegal stuff and it sounds like it'd be a good place to hide out the flames. As for where they'll place the bombs, that will be where damage to goods will be minimized as much as possible, so you see, pretty easy right?"
"Yeah, when you put it like that, I didn't know you were that clever, no offense it's your fault if my evaluation about you is wrong because since I met you all you've done is play around".
"That hurts, but oh well, I'm gonna go ahead and turn in if you have nothing more to talk about, feel at home and sleep wherever you want, we'll discuss our next course of action once we're well rested".

Todo had managed to escape the clutches of the deadly duet in order to report to the big boss, Amuete. But unfortunately that wasn't going to happen since the cleaning agents had managed to nab him before he could even leave the state. And the torture corps were more than happy to help him reunite with his boss.
