Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Prayers ❯ Headquarters(chapter Five) ( Chapter 5 )

Nummair seemed to notice that Aldria was fidgeting over something, thinking it was about her new look he told her that everything would be fine and that she looked great. Of course this only seemed to earn him one of her famous death glares and an even more famous eye roll; it was hard to imagine that she used to live in a world where that was normal. Due to the sudden change in emotion the driver who was clearly a human glanced at them, from the expression on his pale face he had no clue if they were both human, he was obviously frightened which wasn't good.

The car slammed to a sudden if not frightening movement causing Aldria to nearly jump into Nummair. The driver was trembling and it took a minute for him to speak. "Here we are." Was all that he managed before jumping out of the car to open the door and collect luggage from the trunk.

"Thank you." Aldria whispered to the man, which caused him to jump and turn a more pale shade.

That only seemed to infuriate her and she mumbled something about people being rude all the way till she reached the door to headquarters. Even the doorman flinched as Aldria stormed into the building, an apologetic Nummair towed behind her. Suddenly as she reached Oric's office door she remembered how much she was afraid of him and was instantly calm, she even forced Nummair to knock on the door.

A calm and deadly "enter" was heard. Sitting behind a mahogany desk was Oric the man Aldria secretly feared. He was as lovely as he was deadly, his black hair was slightly blue and held in a long fashion to his earlobes, high cheek bones accented deep green eyes. Oric was obviously wearing an expensive suit as usual; he seemed impressed with Aldria's appearance which was something he never did. "I see that you've cleaned up well, good job Lencay, go next door to see Baswick as I have a private talk with Aldria here."

Nummair did as he was told with a promptness that would please any employer, he didn't even complain with his eyes which was something that many people would have done. Aldria was waved to a chair it fit the room which was styled with an old world design clearly expensive. Now it was time for Oric to speak which was always a frightening if not strange experience, but he didn't instead she just sat there looking at her.

"Well I guess I underestimated how good this change would be." He seemed very unprofessional for a moment then he pulled himself out of it. "All of your belongings have been taken from your apartment, from now on you will live in another apartment which is company owned. There is to be no more contact with those people you knew from the other branch of our agency.

"From now on you are a high class agent from my firm, every assignment you are sent on will be high priority, there is to be no argument from you. If you fail to do any part of your job you will face our court from there it will be decided if you are allowed to live or not." He took a deep breath in thought then spoke again. "The agent I have set you up with as a partner will stay as your partner till further notice. If I hear of any inappropriate behavior from either of you, the both of you will be dealt with as one. You can find him in the office next to this one, have a nice day." That was it Oric had just changed her whole life and treated it as if it was nothing.

When she walked into the office next to Oric's she found herself in a room full of couches, it was a break room and it was very nice. A woman stood up and walked over to her, the woman had shoulder length red hair that was wavy, it framed a thin face with pointed ears sticking out. Her nose was long and set between black as night eyes, she was an Elf and she had something to say. "I'm agent Torin, I was told to show you around. Follow me." Her voice was musical and firm she was leaving no room for questions.

Aldria was showed to places she already knew for a few minutes, they were general places that all members of all the braches of MCCA knew. Suddenly she was taken to parts of the building that didn't seem to exist, during the process she was explained why all of these places had been hidden. Most rooms were offices, some were bedrooms where some employees were told to live, some where places to relax, be interrogated, and the basement was a large filing room the reason for this was because any hacker might be capable of hacking into a computer with this information.

After the tour was over both Torin and Aldria stood in the main filing room, Torin held out a file with her name on it. "Here find your name and file in those drawers over there," she pointed to a filing cabinet set off in the corner "when you have done that put these files in the big folder. After you have done that come upstairs where you will be taken to your new apartment, I hope it doesn't take you too long, personally it took me an hour. Bye now." She walked away reeking with overconfidence.

When Aldria had been sixteen she had worked as an assistant she had been forced to file things almost all day so this wasn't that nig of a deal, it as hard to imagine someone looking forever when everything was almost always out in alphabetical order. Finding the file with her name on it was simple and it took her only ten minutes, she knew she was just supposed to file whatever she had in her hand and walk away but the file was so big she was tempted to look inside of it.

Temptation in a bad thing and sometimes people cave in, unfortunately for Aldria she wasn't as strong as some people and she caved in almost instantly. The inside of the folder was simple, on the top there was some things about cases she had worked but as she got farther into the folder she realized something horrible.

There were pictures of her from the month of the horrible murder of her family, on the edge of one of the pictures was a note that read `perfect agent material, eliminate family'. Aldria's body began to shake in sudden realization.
