Red Short Stories

The Old Factory

Day in and day out the work of undercover G.U.N. agent is never done. Red was in the locker room putting on her gear she needed to start her newest mission. Earlier that same day, Red was heading toward the agency. She took back alleyways and secret paths. The agency building was disguised as a small business. Yet for veterans like her, she new how to get to the real building. She walked into lobby as a business woman and enter the agency as an agent. She couldn't waste time. She walked into the chief's office.

"I came as soon as I heard. What are you orders Chief?" Red asked without wasting time.

The Chief was new to his position. So he got overwhelmed and surprised with her barging in. He staggers to put together his files together. "R-right Yes...um.." he was looking for the right words.

Red sighed and took her seat "take your time Chief... You'll get faster with time. After all you kinda were just thrown in this position,right?"

He shyly nods "y-yeah...your so amazing how come you didn't take this position?" Red lightly blushed and was bit shocked by his question.

She clear her throat "that's a bit forward but... I'm not the leader type Sir. I may be a veteran but some people were just made to lead." Chief smiles a bit then shook his head. Then snapped back to being professional.

"Right anyways, there been some rumors going around about something to do with a factory. Collect some more information. Then report it back to me." He ordered

She stood up and saluted "right away Sir." The walked out. Red finished put on her gear. The looked at the files for good locations to collect information. She gently tapping the files

"where be a good place to start?" After a moment she noticed a familiar bar close by. "That's perfect." Then blazes out the back way. Slowed down near by the area to calibrate the gear and make sure it's working. Just in case some goes down inside. After all not everyone had her best interest. She stepped in wearing a jacket to cover her gear. Then acted as causal as possible to take as seat nearby some customers. She ordered a drink and closed her eyes to listened in on people's conversation. There was nothing for a hour or two. It was a bust. She was getting ready to leave to the next location until someone sat next to her.

The man held her down by her shoulder "is this seat taken?" Then flashed his gun under the counter at her. Another man held her another shoulder down. Red could tell what was happening. Then spotted some other people from their group for the corner of her eye. She sighed and tried to stay calm. Then quickly evaluated her situation and the best action to take.

The man shook his head then whispers "don't think too hard."
