Young and Loaded
The City Led by Lies
A voice crackles over the intercom. "Agent Rivine, you are needed in the SCARECROW Unit immediately."
I sigh, and look out my small office window that overlooks a small portion of Battery City, taking in the aftermath of what was. People everywhere. Buildings packed so close together. There was no room to breathe in the city led by lies.
Not wanting to stall any longer, I got up from my desk that was covered with extermination posters, zones maps, and reconnaissance notes. So was the life of a BL/I agent.
Walking through a maze of hallways, I finally find myself in front of the SCARECROW Unit. Draculoids stare blankly at screens, monitoring every single thing. You couldn't even sneeze around here without everyone, and I mean literally everyone, knowing about it.
A drac looks over his shoulder at me, and nudges the supervisor next to him, who was immersed in the latest zone report. The supervisor looks me over, taking in everything from my formal attire to the white ray gun secured in my holster. Finally, she speaks. "Ah yes, Agent Rivine. So good to see you."
Another lie. However, I knew what was coming next.
"We need you to do some reconnaissance out in Zone Four today. There has been a lot of Killjoy activity in that area lately, and we need to find out why."
The supervisor tosses me a different ray gun- acid green, covered in stickers, and signed "Corrupted Chaos" on the barrel.
With this ray gun in hand, a smile finds it's way to my lips. I briskly nod to the supervisor, and turned to go prepare for my latest assignment. Halfway through the door, the supervisor's words ring through my ears.
"Remember, we will be watching. We will always be watching."

Shh. Just let it happen. Part 2 will be up really soon, along with a part 3(which is more than likely to happen) to follow.
