Julia slowly walked towards Percy’s office, her high heels clicking on the cement floors. Julia was a pretty new agent, only having graduated to agent about two week previous. This was only the second time she had been recalled to Division from her cover lie. She was excited but nervous for the newest mission. So far her missions had been short and Julia was hoping for a deep cover mission. Her talents were strong there and she wanted to put them to use.
Knocking on the door, she heard it unlock and she walked in. Amanda was there along with Percy, Michael, and Birkhoff. “Julia! Nice to see you.” Amanda cheerfully greeted her, “How has your cover been going?”
“Good.” Julia replied, “But anxious to get on an op and get working.”
Percy, Amanda and Michael grinned, but Birkhoff rolled his eyes. For as good of a tech as he was, he still had a problem with authority. “I’m glad to hear that.” Percy replied, “Because we have a very important mission for you three.”
“What’s the mission?” Michael asked.
When Amanda and Percy smiled, Julia knew they might be in trouble. “We have gotten word that the Russian organization Googol will be infiltrating a music tour as security.” Percy started to explain, “They are going to use the tour to travel the nation, meeting up with their various factions in the area. You three will be in deep cover trying to get information on their contacts.”
“Undercover? On a music tour?” Birkhoff asked with distaste.
“A boy band to be more exact. It’s 2000- they’re all the rage.” Amanda replied.
“Who will we be?” Julia asked, excited about the mission.
“Birkhoff will be working as a tech for the show. Michael will be Julia’s manager and Julia, you will be the opening act for the band, Mandy Mae.”
“What?” Birkhoff was clearly not having it, “I’m a tech! Why am I going out on a mission?”
“Because,” Percy calmly replied, “They will be gone for six months and they are bound to need technical support at some point.”
“Great.” Birkhoff was frustrated, crossing his arms across his chest. “I get to go on tour with a bunch of boy band losers.” Birkhoff’s face was covered in frustration.
“I’m sure it won’t be too bad.” Michael tried to calm his friend. There was no need for Birkhoff to get canceled over a dislike of a mission, he knew.
“So do I have to audition for the opening spot?” Julia wanted to know how this was going to work since it was pretty much a dream come true for her.
“No.” Percy replied. “We already have everything in place for you three. We’ll have to get you trained on some songs to perform but you’ve already been given the job.”
“Good.” Julia knew it would be a little less pressure to not have the mission fail if she didn’t get the job.
“When does the tour and the mission start?” Michael questioned, always the business man.
“A week-and-a-half from today. It is going to take a little bit of prep work, especially for Julia.” Amanda explained.
