Confidential [ON HOLD]

1. The Simpson Case

At Blind Spot Agency there were only five kinds of missions.

The first would be Provision. In these missions, agents were only required to retrieve information or some kind of technology or equipment, providing the agency. The second kind of mission was the basic spying missions, or as the agents at the agency liked to call it—baby-sitting. As it was pretty evident from the name, the intention was only to spy on the activity of a suspect or protect a victim.

The third type of mission was Interception. It was fairly simple, a mission almost never performed at Blind Spot Agency anymore. It was considered to insignificant for the highest class of agents in the world to attend to. Busting deals and smugglings wasn't something of Blind Spot caliber. So now, interceptions were only performed if the agent hadn't been approved to go on dangerous field missions. In simple words, at Blind Spot, Intercepting was only a test to see if you are mentally ready or fit to enter or re-enter the field.

The fourth kind was Annihilation. The word was just a synonym to finish. To kill—and that was all these kinds of missions involved. A target and one shot that had to be a bullseye. 

Last but not least came, Extraction missions. They were the rarest missions, since they were supposedly the easiest. Extraction missions were conducted only when an agent was not able to complete his or her mission and was dire need of rescuing. Since, Blind Spot agents rarely failed and valued their pride too much to ask for help, they rarely needed rescuing. However, most Blind Spot assets didn't have huge egos. 

And that was why Benjamin Braxton had just 'extracted' a potential Blind Spot asset.

Flynn Davidson—a fellow Blind Spot agent—had told Benjamin that the Director wanted to see him. Benjamin could see on reason, why the Director might want to see him now. He had just completed an successful extraction mission and reported back to his superiors. Directors of transgovernmental agencies didn't come calling everyday. 

'Something about the Simpson case,' was the last thing Benjamin heard from Flynn before he nodded and closed the door.  He was only a few paces away from the door when he realized what Flynn had said.

The Simpson case was the case he—or really anyone in Blind Spot or the FBI—knew least about. It was non-existent. Agents had attempted to solve the case, to find the mysterious Colby Simpson, but they had always failed. And in no time, the Simpson case was labeled as 'unsolvable' and thrown into a back pile. It was declared a cold case.

There was not one person in the FBI who didn't know who Agent Colby Simpson was. She was a legend in the Bureau. When Benjamin was induced into the FBI, Agents would bet on her identity or what she looks like. They had party games inspired from where she born and how old she could be. Agents even debated whether she was a woman or not. No one had seen what she looked like. No one knew what she sounded like. But everyone knew what she could do, what she was capable of. She turned into a ghost story.

She was the ideal agent any trainee or inductee would aspire to be. But to the agents who had spent amounts of time, guessing and tracking who she was, she was a mere figment of FBI imagination. She was a standard the FBI had set to ensure new recruits had someone to look up to.

When he was recruited for Blind Spot Agency, Benjamin didn't really care about new Colby Simpson rumors. He only wanted to know if she was real or not. And being trusted with the Colby Simpson case meant that he was soon getting a promotion or raise, if not both.

He walked to Director Cory Davidson's office. Steadying himself and composing his thoughts, he knocked on the door and poked his head inside, "Sir, you wanted to see me."
