Case No. 2

Case File: Bomb in the Waterpark

Location: Poway, San Diego

Agents Taking Case: Mikennah Black, Amanda Mathews, Andrew Morris

Status: Alive, with.. Complications

Mikennah's Report:

Ugh, The Bureau still hasn't replaced my partner. But Oh, my gosh. For taking this case Amanda, I and some other guy Andrew got some sweet swimsuits. Mine is totally camouflage, but Amanda chose one that sticks out like a sore thumb you couldn't lose her if you wanted to, and I want to. Our Case, travel to San Diego to stop a bombing, cause water parks are important too.

Amanda my great, GREAT friend decided half way through the mission that she was "too cold" and that she couldn't "continue" it's water, you'll get used to it honey. So she copped out and went to go warm up, but Andrew and I continued, searching high and low taking fast and slow ways down searching everywhere for this bomb. We couldn't find it.

Of course it occured to me, the bomb wasn't planted yet. So I told Andrew,

"Yo mate, what if we just start looking for suspicious people."

"I mean, yeah sounds good."

There was this offness though to Andrew, I felt this like dark presence or something, but like not like oooooh demon coming to possess your soul. No, he left a more sinister feeling. But I shrugged it off, The Bureau wouldn't assign a bad guy to our team.. Would they?

Yes.

Yes they would.

It was time where Andrew and I were getting cold, very cold. I'd continuously say: "I'm not hypothermic, so I refuse to die of hypothermia." And continue searching, but it came that time where I needed to warm up. So we went to the kittiepool, the warmest water mostly because the kids pee everywhere, but it was warm and there weren't to many kids.

We took this time to relax, get our minds off the case and just enjoy the waterpark. But as everything, it was another freaking set up that I walked right it into. I saw, visually, mentally, and I almost followed the guy, up the stairs and down a slide. But he disappeared, completely. Like couldn't find him, not in the pool, not in the warmer spots. NOTHING. He was gone.

And that's when it happened, I heard ticking, it was a set up. A set up to get me out of the picture, I found the bomb wasn't too hard it was behind the elephant statue in the general area I was in. I don't exactly know how to disarm a bomb, but you know. Throwing it in another direction at full force hoping it will blow up in the air was good enough for me, which it did.. Blow up in the air.

But because this isn't some fairytale. I suddenly see Andrew pop out of his hiding spot and snap, and there were the goons that just appeared out of nowhere, all had guns one had rope and another had duct tape. And we all know where that's going, but with Amanda NOWHERE to be found.

*cough* not a supportive partner. *cough*

I was on my own. Self defence, that's something I knew how to do. My one question is like did they bribe the lifeguards and security or something? Guns shouldn't be allowed in a waterpark. There's typically kids. Seriously.

In other words, we got a stern talking to over the whole busting up a slave trade and selling last case.. And The Bureau isn't in the business of saving us. So on my own, I did try to call for backup, but nobody came. Attempting to do what I did last time, I took out the guy with the rope, I knew that was a possible strangle item then I went for the duct tape and while guns were firing the goons had terrible aim so most of them took themselves out. Everyone else was easily managed.

Andrew tried to get away, but with crappy goons with guns shooting him in the leg wasn't to hard. Then you know I had to like explain I was a secret agent show a nice silver badge that said AOB on it, which was totally clear verification, and you know was escorted off the premises and Amanda, Andrew and I are never allowed there again..

I may have forgot to mention the bombing, but the waterpark wasn't even that fun. There's other fun ones out there.

Andrew don got jailed, and I alone stopped a bombing. Thanks Amanda.

Mikennah Out.

Amanda's Report:

Excuses are excuses and there isn't one good enough to excuse my failure to pull my weight during this mission. In that I failed my partner and my duties as an agent of The Bureau.

I knew the moment they handed me the case file during the briefing that assigning me to this case would be a mistake. I should have said something then. For once, I agree with my partner's desire to be paired with another agent. She definitely should have been paired with someone who could actually work with attending a water park, even as part of a mission. It would not be my first visit by far, but none of them had been pleasant.

In training to become an agent, there is a great deal of training and conditioning one has to go through in order to be prepared for just about any situation. For the majority of it, I passed with minimal difficulties in the beginning. But when it came to learning and building up tolerance to extremes, temperatures specifically?

I failed three times and only my high marks in the rest of my training pulled me through into field agent status.

Yeah... I've never been good with temperatures.

There will never be words to describe how relieved I was to find that Agent Black and I would not be the only ones assigned to this case. Agent Morris was a godsend as far as I could see. He could watch my partner's back if my discomfort with this assignment came to pass as I feared it would.

Which it very much did.

Halfway through the time we see scheduled to be inside the park as guests, I was shivering like I'd been locked in a freezer again. So to spare myself the cold and my partner the trouble of getting annoyed with me (not that it worked all that well because she did), I got out, dried off, and went snooping around without getting in the water. Because maybe it wasn't a park guest who was the culprit behind the bomb, I reasoned. Maybe it was a park employee.

Boy was I wrong.

I heard the explosion, but was too far away to be able to come running to my partner's aid. So I gathered up some park security, flashing my Bureau badge to get them to listen and take me seriously, while I told myself that my partner had gone through the same training I had, she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She would have to be if she wanted to be a solo agent like she kept claiming.

Security didn't actually think I was an agent, but bomb threats and explosions are serious things, so they followed me skeptically in the direction I'd heard the explosion come from.

That godsend I'd been so happy about? Tried to stab my partner in the back. With the bomb we'd been sent to find. Because of course he was a traitor agent, only we would be so lucky.

They might not have believed Agent Black and I were agents, but they definitely believed that Andrew Morris was a threat, given that we found him with a gun in his hand and other hired help also bearing weapons, though they were all unconscious.

Needless to say, they banned Agent Black and I from the premises and politely escorted us out, along with a nicely worded warning to not come back.

Hopefully we wouldn't have to. I certainly never want to go near a water park ever again.

Matthews over.
