Writing Prompts (Over One Hundred)

Writing Prompt 149

"Hello? Hello, can you hear me? This is Agent 3, what is the emergency?"

     Ragged breath came from the other end of my Bluetooth earpiece, "It's a code red, a code red!"

     The words that resonates in my ears shocked me. It was a code red. That meant we have aliens on our hands. I nearly spluttered, thinking I had heard them wrong. "A code red?" The doubt heavily weighed my words.

     "It's a code red. Get out of there while you still can."

     Then the line went dead. A staticky noise buzzed in my ear as I stood there, too shocked to move. We didn't have a protocol for this. We had never expected it to actually happen. I needed to go to the HQs. I needed to speak to the boss. Alert him, figure out what we needed to do next, what we even could do next. I sprinted to my car.

     Turning my hazards on, I weaved in and out of traffic, passing slow people and fast people in my rush to get where I needed to go. As soon as I stopped my car, I jumped out of it. Then, composing myself. I smoothed my hair and walked straight to the office. It was eerily quiet. But there were still people there. They all seemed unnaturally complacent, but it was probably just nerves.

     I knocked on his door before letting myself in. He swiveled around to greet me.

     He paused before nodding.

     "Agent three. How can I help you?"

     "Sir, there's been a code red--"

     "I'm perfectly aware, agent three. Nothing to worry about it. A false call. Forget it." He smiled a bright smile as I felt myself calm down. But there was a prickly feeling at the back of my throat. A feeling I always had when people were lying to me. And I realized why a few seconds later.

     He turned from me, and I caught a glimpse of a . . . Bullet wound? In the back of his head? And . . . What appeared to be green skin below his collar. I leaned forward. Yes, I was correct.

     No, this wasn't my boss any longer. This was an alien who had possessed him. I smiled a fake smile as bright as his and turned away. Shaken to the core, I faked confidence and said "Of course sir, my mistake sir. I'll be in my way then." Then, turning away, I walked out of the building, already planning a way to bring down the aliens.

Take it from here!
