"You'll NEVER get away with this!" yelled Mark Clayton from his cell, his hands gripping the bars angrily.
"You hear me?!" he shook the bars. The doors closed with a shut as Head Agent of E.C. Agency, Miss Leona led me out.
Oh I heard him alright.
I looked back with a few glances, feeling his words pierce my back.
"Thanks to you retrieving the stolen Formula 118 from his apartment last night, we were able to imprison him for his crimes," Miss Leona said calmly.
I had a brief flashback of me slipping into his apartment undetected last night and finding the stolen serum in his poorly hid safe box.
His safebox was hidden behind.... Wait for it... His box of adult diapers! Yup I definitely love being an agent.
"Um yes," I grimaced. I cleared my throat. "Yes Miss Leona," I said clearly, straightening my back. I was supposed to be focusing on the terrible deeds Mark Clayton had done, not his terrible choice of a hiding spot!
I was Clarissa Jenkins, a spy hired at 18 by the E.C. Agency. I was known as the delinquent who dropped out of high school. I was known as the girl who was 'too dumb' and 'not good enough' by the many rumors spread about me leaving senior year.
Maybe it was the fact that my parents were both African American. Maybe it's the fact that my mother left and disappeared from my life when I was just 14.
One day she was there, kissing me goodnight and the next day she was gone, vanished. Not a trace of her. At first I thought it was because I spilled my Cranberry juice on her $285 Banana Republic shirt and she looked like she wanted to disown me when she found out, but I knew that she still loved me despite that.
Well whatever the reason was, I'm an agent now. I've dealt with things I have never imagined before. I had to be strong. I couldn't be scared with the empty threats that were thrown my way every time I caught a criminal.
I loosened my shoulders and threw my hair back, letting my crazy curly hair frame my face.
I continued walking alongside Miss Leona down the headquarter's hallways.
I didn't look back.
