Zero Risk Security

Operatives

Makima walked down the hallway as Johan sat in a chair, smoking a tobacco pipe.

"Colonel Johan." She said.

Johan turned to her.

"Miss Makima." He said.

"I believe our prisoner has made it safe and sound?" She asked rhetorically.

"'n Ma'am! Gee my 'n naam!" Jansen yelled from within the room, and a loud crash was heard.

"Yes, ma'am." He said.

"May I speak with the prisoner?" She asked.

"I'm not sure Miss Makima, Jansen hasn't..."

Makima's hand pressed against his shoulder as she stared through his eyes and into his soul.

"I can handle it." She said.

Johan stared into her eyes before getting up off his chair and opening the door for her.

She walked through first, and Johan followed.

"Calm it, Jansen." Johan said.

Jansen quickly stopped and stood in the far corner of the room.

The captaive was now battered and bruised and bleeding through his nose that began to pool on the front of his shirt, where it landed after trickling off his mouth and chin.

Makima sat down in front of the prisoner as he breathed heavily.

"Fucking hell." He said, spitting blood onto the table.

Makima crossed her arms and stared at the man, and he looked back at her.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked as blood seeped from his mouth and nose between breaths.

"I am your savior." She said.

"Who?" He asked.

"Kieko Himari, yes?" She asked.

The man glared at her.

"I can stop all of this, allow you to walk out of here." She said.

She leaned closer, whispering in a lower tone.

"I just need you to tell me what I need to know." She said.

The man glanced at her, Johan, and Jansen in quick sucession before sighing and nodding.

...

All three quickly walked out as Johan looked at Makima, amazed.

"How the hell did you do that?" He asked.

Makima smirked and nodded, walking away as Jansen and Jihan followed.

"Colonel Johan, ready your assault teams." She said.

"Yes, ma'am." Johan said.

"Jansen." Makima said, turning to him.

"I will assign you as my interrogator. I need a man who can get information out of people by force if needed. Johan, I request your presence to my office as soon as you can." Makima said.

"Yes, ma'am." Johan said.

...

Police stood outside of the tall building, as well as ZRS operatives in M83 chest rigs and battle jackets, Kevlar helmets, and a wide array of armaments such as M16s, UMP .45s, and even a few anti-tank guns such as RPG7s and M72 LAWs.

Devil hunters and ZRS stood side by side, preparing to storm the building.

Colonel Johan organized securing the perimeter with several police officers as Makima called on the radio.

"Colonel Johan, come in." She said.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Let the devil hunters go in first, allow them to clear the way of devils. Your men can go behind them and clear out any humans inside if needed." She said.

"Yes ma'am." He said.

...

As preparations were made as devil hunters and devils fought inside the parking garage against zombies from when the zombie devil was still alive, Lieutenant Arno van Heerden stood nearby, analyzing the building.

However, his attention was caught by a certain devil hunter he has heard of before and finally got to meet her.

Kobeni Higashiyama stood nearby, staring at the building as a ZRS helicopter flew to the top of the roof.

If what he has heard is true, perhaps he could acquire one of the best operatives ZRS could offer. He just has to choose his words carefully.

"Kobeni Higashiyama?" He asked.

Kobeni make a squeak and quickly turned to him.

"Yes sir?" She asked.

"May I have a word with you?" He asked.

"Uh, sure?" She said, reluctantly.

"I have heard... things... Your performance." He said.

Kobeni's eyes widened as she straightedge her posture.

"Your encounter with what was it? The Eternity devil? I've read the report."

"I'm sorry sir."

"However, I read the report, the one with your fight against Katana man and that one girl, what was her name again? Akane?"

Kobeni stood, unsure where this was going.

"Impressive work. Even though you have your... moments... you have the potential to show great courage, Miss Kobeni."

Arno stood, staring at Kobeni, examining her.

"Devil hunting isn't for you and you know it. Your coworkers say you're resigning once you get your bonus, right?"

"That's right." She said softly.

"You need a job afterwards. I have one for you." He said.

Lieutenant Arno reached to his pocket by the knee, pulling out a card and handing it to Kobeni.

Kobeni took the card and examined it.

It was the business card to Zero Risk Security, complete with the logo for the company is a yellow and black circle, with the name of the company being formatted to fit around the circumference of the circle.

Kobeni stared at the bottom of the card, staring at the phone number.

"Being a ZRS operatives isn't as dangerous as devil hunting. Plus, you get to travel all over the world. If money is what you're after, starting pay is seven hundred dollars a day. You qualify due to your training as a Devil hunter. Plus, we give extra training too."

Kobeni did not respond.

"I'll leave you alone now. Think about it for a while. We could always use more members."

Arno turned and walked away.

Back with Colonel Johan, Adriaan approached.

"We're ready, sir." Lieutenant Adriaan van der Merwe said.

"Good. We'll show what ZRS can do." Colonel Johan said.
