SSHS 69 Whichever city a person is, they would always describe it as bustling and always busy, with a lot of people walking in different directions. Some were walking with their own groups, talking casually to each other and sharing a laugh or two. Some were walking alone, mostly people dressed in suits or formal coats as they placed their phones right to their ears and were talking professionally to the person on the other side of their phone as they wore a serious expression on their face. And there are those who are strolling around the city as they use their leisure time to have some fun, to unwind or destress. They dress in casual and fun and colourful and season appropriate clothes as they have fun with their groups or just admire the city alone. And there are those who want to stroll throughout the city and look at various shops and see if they want something from inside. And the city is extra busy in this particular week, a lot more people are coming in and out of the shops
SSHS 70 There are times that the destiny or fate or life itself wants to mess with you. It like playing with you all over— whether it be having you experience a warm sunny day and then would make the rain drop without any warning at all. Or maybe let you be with your friends and then all of a sudden have them leave without any notice at all, leaving you alone and sad. Or maybe, let you have some fun, have that bliss of happiness as you enjoy life of being so young and active and so free and then: poof, everything is gone, or everything is not the same anymore. Or it would be better described as ‘BOOM!’ and then everything around you was turned into dust as you hear the cries of people for help, the agony and their pain echoing out through the shocked streets of the city as everyone stayed there, shock ed and unmoving, not knowing what to do as a bombed just exploded in one of the stores and killed all that is inside, and injured those who are unfortunate enough to be near the vicin
SSHS 71 Shit. Was all the two junior undercover spies could think about as they tried to brace themselves and to also secure the still unconscious girls, as so they would not sustain anymore injuries during the ride as the ambulance started to tumble and land on its side. Shit. Was all the two junior undercover spies could say as they felt their bodies ache as they sustained the pain of clashing with the inside of the ambulance and some of its equipment inside, just so that the two unconscious girls would not suffer any more concussion on the head, and further worsening their condition. With a groan, they adjusted their stance as both of them held one of the girls in a protective way. “Are you kids okay?” Shouted one of the paramedics from the front. Hestia and Albert were not able to answer right away as they continued to groan out the pain they were feeling, and also adjusted both the unconscious girls to make them stand up, making it easier for the two of them to carry them ou
SSHS 72 There was an adequate force of the authorities to hold down the chaos and to possibly take it under control, and to also ensure the safety of the civilians who were unfortunate to be in the vicinity of the said incident. People are running to all of the directions they could, often finding places where they deemed safe and secured and out of sight of the people who are wielding guns and blades in all sorts of lengths and sizes. Their screams echoes all throughout the domain as they ran around, trying to avoid the bad goons who were loitering around and terrorizes those who crosses their paths. Some people, in the midst of panic, left their cars and ran to save their lives, screaming and not caring to their car as people in jackets with the symbol of their gang insignia started to crowd the car that was left and wrecked it as much as they want, leaving dents, cracked glass and flat tires. However, the most unfortunate ones to be caught were the children. There are those who go
SSHS 73 The radio inside the van kept on spewing news and news about the chaos that occurred in the city. Each station has their reporters in the scene reporting about how the authorities were able to gradually suppress the criminals and the people from the Underworld and are successful in keeping the civilians safe inside some of the establishments that are lucky enough to still be intact. “On other news, the criminals are now being handcuffed and escorted to the police vehicles. As for the da—” and then switched on the next station. “Damage, in approximate computation of the damages from the bombing and from the gun war was a total of five—” then switching on another station. “As for the casualties Robert, we have accounted for a total of 10 de—” then the radio was switched again to another station. “We currently have one of the victims on our side right now for an interview. Ms. Ab—” and then the radio was entirely turned off. Agent 10 grumbled, complaining that there are no st
SSHS 74 The safe house was filled with hushed conversations, sobbing and crying and a very confused Freya who just woke up from her slumber, complaining of the wounds she had and where they came from, and she even complained even more as the pain killers were slowly subsiding, escaping her system and resetting her pain receptors into feeling again. “Argh! It hurts so much, can I have another pain killer? Just stop this stinging pain already.” Freya voiced out her complaint again as she tried to plead to the doctor and to the other spies to administer another pain killer to her, as she was irritated and hurting from the stinging and pain that the wounds made her feel. However, her request was denied, again. “I’m sorry but we cannot administer another painkiller for you, Freya. That pain you are feeling right now is in the normal range and is vital for us to know if your wounds were infected or clean and would heal properly.” The doctor who tended to her replied, as she cleaned up and
SSHS 75 In the midst of the sobs and silent cries of the four people inside the safe house, the rest could only look with sympathy in their faces, Freya looked at the two 1st years as if she could feel their pain, as if she had experienced the whole ‘hiding your emotions’ thing. Agent Z and Agent U on the other hand, were looking relieved as they observed the two young spies, having been in their shoes not so long ago, it is in their relief that their juniors were able to express their emotions when given a chance, “At least they never went through what we did, not really being able to express our emotions when we were their age.” Agent Z said in a hushed voice to Agent U who nodded in agreement. They were away from Freya as of the moment, in the excuse of getting some drinks for all of them, giving them the chance to talk about matters that Freya must not hear nor know. The senior spies: Agent O and Agent 10, were silently watching in the distance and comfort that the dining
SSHS 76 At first, it was just darkness, total darkness to the point feeling as if you are not existing at all, like being a ball of atom floating around and about into the void— not seeing anything, not hearing anything, not being able to smell anything, not being about to taste anything, and not touching anything at all. As if existing in the astral plane with nothing to do, nothing to feel. At some point, it became too much that the only thing left to be is to become insane, and with that, Yulia tried to scream, but no voice came out of her mouth, if she has a mouth, that is. Yulia finally realised that she is not where she was supposed to be— finally gaining consciousness. Panicked, Yulia started to get so stressed and all uncomfortable as she tried to make out some sensations, something to feel, something to ground her to the ground and to expel the thought of, ‘I am not dead yet, no, not dead yet.’ over and over again as she tried her best to try and regain something that woul
