Undercover Love

Chapter 1

I stared at the phone in my lap, not sure if what I had heard was true. Are they sending me out onto the field? 

If you want some backstory. My name is Rain Locker, I'm 22, and currently work for the CIA as an agent, well, when I say "Agent", I mean "Backup Agent". I'm the agent that steps up when another agent is sick, hurt, or well...dead. In my free time, I train myself and recruit for fieldwork. I've been working for them for about 2 years now, and I have only been out on the field about 3 times, each mission being about 3-6 months. So I've had my fair share of work and experience, but both of those were "hand me down" missions from 3 agents who had all been wiped out on the last mission they were on. Now I just got a phone call from my boss saying he need's me to come into his office for my mission. What can I say? I love adventure! Even if some of that "adventure" is underground in a sewer, or skydiving with the target and having to disable his parachute in midair without him noticing. Whatever it is, I've always been up to the task. Yes it's hard sometimes, but it's worth it sometimes to figure it all out, kind of like finishing a puzzle that's taken you weeks to complete.

Pulling up to the building where we kept our headquarters, I paused for a second and smoothed my pitch-black hair down, and straightened my blouse before stepping out of the car and going inside. "Ah, Agent Rain! Good to see you!" "Good evening Boss" My boss, a big, well-muscled man with long brown hair, had run this section of the CIA for as long as I had worked there and had made sure I had been comfortable as soon as I had walked through the doors after being recruited from college. My boss motioned to the chair across from him, and as I sat down, he sat back, crossing his arms as he said "Well? What do you need?" I frowned, clearing my throat as I said "Well, I'm here about that phone call, you called me here for my mission" "Mission? Oh! Yes, of course, come with me." Getting up, I followed him out another door and into an elevator where he put his finger on a second pad under the number pad where his finger was scanned and a second button pad showed up. Boss pressed a combination on the number pad and in response, the elevator started dropping suddenly and quite quickly. Just as quickly as the elevator started dropping, it stopped suddenly after a few minutes, causing me to stumble forward. The door opened and my mouth dropped open. "What!?" My boss chuckled at my reaction "What, you expect the CIA not to have any secret rooms?" "I didn't expect it to be so huge!" The room was giant, filled with all kinds of weapons, and suits, and in the middle of the room, a layout of the entire city of New York. "What are all the people in here doing?" "Getting ready for missions, testing new weapons, suit technology, and communication pieces" "This is cool and all, but why did you bring me here?" "Isn't it obvious? You need a new suit, and weapons for your assignment" I crossed my arms "Ok, what exactly is my 'assignment', and why did you pick me after 2 years of being a backup agent" "Well, I saw you in the training room last week, you have a perfect shot, even without looking, you're excellent at fighting, and you know your way around with all the other weapons we have, the Mafia is always looking out for talented people to join them" "Well what can I say, I've had a lot of time to... did you just say the Mafia?" Boss nodded "Yes, that's your assignment, the Mafia has wiped out a lot of our headquarters' in the past year, and it's time to strike a blow back" "Ok, I still fail to see how I fit into all of this" "We need you to go undercover as a recruit for the Mafia" "Undercover? For the Mafia?" "Did I stutter? You start your mission in 3 days. I brought you here because, for the next 3 days, you will be fitting with a custom suit, picking out weapons, and learning more about your mission. Everything has already been prepared" "So...I can't refuse?" "Nope, you'll be going undercover as 'Agent Black', which shouldn't raise too much suspicion as all agents at the Mafia seem to use names like that, they never reveal their real names"  I sighed "Ok, where do I start?" "That's the spirit! First is suits, I doubt you'll make it past the first day with the stuff you have on" He teased, I crossed my arms "What's wrong with the stuff I have on?" "I doubt it can stop a bullet, can it?" "I've never tried it, but if I had to guess, I'd say probably not" "Great, well how about getting you something that you can design yourself, and can stop bullets?" "Sounds fun."
Over the next 3 days, true to his word, my boss taught me about my mission, helped me pick out weapons, and design a suit. My suit was finished on the 3rd day. All black, bulletproof, with a temperature regulator, keeping me at the perfect body temperature, not too hot or cold. Built-in parachute, gas mask, breathing tank, navigation, camera, and tracker sensor. I stepped out of the changing room and moved around, it was a tight-fitting body suit, allowing me more freedom than I had ever had in cloth. I chuckled and grabbed the bag with all my stuff and went into the room where the boss and a couple of other people were waiting to see me off and take me where I'd be dropped off to catch a train to where someone from the mafia would be waiting to pick me up for first-day training. As soon as I came into the room I smiled saying "The suit makes me feel incredibly sexy" My boss immediately laughed "I told you guys!" "What?" "Every other girl says that in her first new suit" "Oh, well it does, and I'm not ashamed of it" "And you shouldn't be, I'm just saying it's become predictable" "Ok well, am I going or what?" "Yes, remember, screwing up is more or less dead, so don't screw up" "Great, so no pressure, and my target?" "We don't know when he arrives at that base, all we know is that if you are chosen, you'll go to one of their headquarters, and once you take out that headquarters boss, we'll be home free to attack that area" "Got it, so how long do you think I'll be there?" "As long as it takes"
