Agent Beck

Mission 1

Welcome to my new take on another action story. Meet Agent Beck a superhuman agent who takes down evil underground drug lords. Enjoy Mission 1:  The Soul- Taker Diamond.

Mission One : The Soul-Taker Diamond

"He is so tall and muscular." one female said.

"Look at him in that suit and tie. He could pound me anytime and anywhere." another added.

"Oh, and that luscious tan skin with the dark green eyes and oh, that long dirty brown hair tied in a bun...he is to die for. I wonder what his name is?" I heard another whisper.

All these ladies were single and ready to mingle, but maybe later. Right now, I am on a mission. The name is Agent Beck and I work for an organization called Crimson Shield (CS). We work undercover with the government to find and destroy ancient relics and artifacts that could give the bad guys the power to destroy the world as we know it.

Now, I am here to find the ancient diamond from the samurai era of Japanese history. It is a diamond that has the power to absorb another's soul when pointed or touched. It is being auctioned tonight at this gambling arena. I am a man who loves the casino, but right now, I needed to sneak into the back and head to the storage room. I sit at a nearby card table and play a hand of spades. The auction started in an hour and I needed to reach the room. This place was crawling with Cane Security.

This gambling casino was owned by Jack Cane, a billionaire who has earned his riches by ripping off people. How Jack came to know the inner circle of mass villains who know about the ancient artifacts like the government and CS is a mystery to me. He was a billionaire rookie at best and did not deserve to know about this diamond. He knows what power this diamond has and he is just going to sell it for the money. He doesn't care if an innocent human gets hurt from not knowing how to use it properly.

I take my winnings from the game and walk past a guard blocking the door. I 'fumble' and drop my chips. The guard helps me pick them up and I snatch his badge. When we were on our feet, I saw him begin to hold his mouth. He ran past me and I heard him say "Need any available guard to stay at my post! I feel my stomach is about to blow. Heading to the bathroom!".

"Perfect. Looks like this nausea cologne really works." I commented while pressing his badge on the scanner. I knew an alert would be sent to the main security office, so I had thirty minutes and that was all I needed. I walk down the stairs and see a safe-like door.

"God, they still make these?" I whispered. I remove my suit and reveal my spy outfit. It was a black leather, military grade one-piece clothing with a long black trench coat and combat boots. I leaned on the door and saw it was not that thick. I take a breath and grab the handle. I pull the door off the hinges and it slams against the wall. Oh, did you guys think normal humans could handle powerful artifacts? No, unfortunately these missions call for 'special' humans, or what the government used to call us 'experiments'.

Yes, me and other CS agents are those cast-away experiments the government called "failures". They thought their injections of animal DNA from extinct beasts, did not work so they sent us home. Little did they know, if they would have waited a month, they would have seen their experiment was a success. I can't tell you about the others but as for me, I was injected with extinct lion DNA. A rare lion from the Ice Age period. I have cat-like abilities and as a bonus claws and night-vision when needed.

I search the room with cat-like speed, and I see the diamond. I use special gloves to hold it and bag it.

"Freeze!" I turn around to see three guards pointing their guns at me. I smirk at them and run towards them. They shoot and I can see the bullets in slow motion. I dodge them and knee the guard in the chest. I kick the gun out of the other guard's hand and flip them over my shoulder. I never killed anyone on the job unless I had no choice. I hear more guards coming and I look up at the lights. I reveal my gun and shoot the lights out.

"Let's see who can see in the dark." I whispered. I hear commotion come from them as I make my way up the stairs by jumping rail to rail. I headed out the door and was surprised to see Jack himself. He was holding a rifle and grinning.

"I knew the CS would come to get the diamond tonight. Now, hand it over or I will blow you to pieces!" he yells. I look around at the people walking by like all this was normal. This let me know these people are just as heartless and uncaring as him. I take a breath and nod. I unzip my bag and toss him the diamond. I knew he was still going to shoot me, so I had a surprise for him and his guards. He catches it and he snaps his fingers; and I snap mine.

Boom! "Ahhh!" Jack yells as his fingers are blown off. The guards all usher over to him and I make my escape. "After him you idiots!" he screamed.

The chase was on and when I reached the exit, I beep my car key and waited for my car to show. Click! I turn to see almost twenty guards with their guns on me. I smile at them while revealing my own. They think they have the advantage, but... (one shoots) ...my suit is bullet proof. I shoot back and they are down. The rest bum rushed me and shoot. I make sure to dodge the bullets going towards my head while kicking some guard ass. I throw one guard into the other guards. Side sweep another and kick one in the face.

I hear my car is close. I see it turn the corner and I throw down a smoke bomb. I jump into my car and speed away.

"Diamond recovered?" BEAST asked. BEAST was the boss and creator of CS. He was the first experiment the government ever did, and his powers will make anyone, and I mean anyone shit their pants. Which is why the government takes orders from us and we kindly take missions from them to find magical relics. BEAST made CS as a rescue home for 'special humans' but he thought of a better way for us to use our powers. Plus, this is way better than sitting in a room and watching television while hiding from civilization and not using our powers.

"Yes sir." I responded.

"Good. Bring it back to base so we can destroy the damn thing. No way I am giving this to the government to keep. I ain't starting World War 3." he stated in a joking tone. I couldn't help but snicker while putting the car into turbo drive.

"You got it. Agent Beck out!"
