Trapped By The I.R.I.S. Boy {Ejen Ali Fanfiction - OneShot}

Chapter 2

Approximately an hour before midnight, the sky was covered with a sheet of darkness, clouds barely visible amidst the inked void. The starless night shone with only the bright yet luminescent hue of the full moon basking the city in the night's embrace of rest and sleep.

Very few were out and about in their own business on the darkened streets, some were employees of the late shift, while some were out at night with friends. The harbor was at peace, an unusual occurrence yet not more would anyone want than the absence of raid in the area. However, the situation is relatively different near the outskirts where in an off-limit zone near a forest lays a warehouse meant to provide shelter to stocks meant for sale, an area just a few steps away from the harbor being in view. Two figures could be seen, standing as the moonlight shadowed their figures, casting the same shadows on the ground. One of the said figure wore an attire adorned with red and black, a small robot situated by his feet, arms crossed as he examined the perimeter via holographic camera feeds taken from his dispatched drones. On the other hand, the other was a female, sitting by a nearby rock which accommodated her stature, her blue uniform adorned with a yellow shawl connected to a dagger dart. She was quiet, only observing the situation by ear.

A series of footsteps caused both the figures to look towards the direction of the sound, finding no urgency to get their weapons out as the footsteps were familiar, lending them ease.

"Apologies for my tardiness, the General gave several instructions." The Neuro agent of the team stopped in her tracks as she spoke, her outfit of yellow and black adorned by her signature green scarf darkened by the night's hue, her features shadowed by the moonlight. "I trust that you have received the coordinates, Khai?"

The figure in red pushed his glasses properly situated by his eyes before tossing onto the ground—a circular device, where upon impact led for a holographic 3D projection to appear on the spot.

On cue, the entire scale of the 3D projection of the location was presented, Alicia walked three steps forward to examine the coordinates and the exact location as visualized. "Before we plant the explosive, we need to ensure that there is no one else inside. The General want these fugitives alive by all means, understand?" she questioned, her eyes shifting from the map and towards the other two in the area. She needn't to look for the fourth member missing from the scene, she is well aware that he is around—hiding, but surely listening.
