After the whole day training, we all—except for 006—felt sore all over our bodies. We even felt like we're beaten good by ten gangs in the alley.

This organization of whatsoever is taking a stir in my life recently. I only know how to accompany these people who are with me right now, but I don't know why on earth was I taken in this place. I even met someone dear to me that was revived from death by science.

We entered our rooms without taking our dinner due to the tiredness we have and slept to whatever time will our slumbers go.

And without me knowing it, it's already the day where we will be going out of this place.

A breath of fresh air!

I packed much of the things I needed and really tied my hair into twin ponytails, before hiding it with my hoodie. As much as possible, I do not want to cause a scene in the arch—where we will be sent off to our first field mission.

I saw Benina with her simple look in her green turtle-neck sundress, Thadd and Keio looking like real brothers because of their outfits and 006... Well, he's the odd one.

He wore a two-layered tuxedo, a fedora hat, and a black cardigan. A 90's look of a detective.

We eyed him like he's some kind of an oddball in our team. But when he noticed our stares and looked at us, we immediately looked away. Making subtle excuses like adjusting our pants (To Benina and Keio), tying shoes that had no laces (this is Thadd), and peeking the pack bag (well, more like I described my subtle excuse). He creased his forehead and looked back to the front of the arch, probably to wait for our monitoring supervisors to come or some bus.

"Hello, Delta team!" A man's voice called us to shift our gaze from our subtle excuses. It was Even, wearing a seven-colors army shirt and a denim pants and sneakers. He's wearing a black cap and a facemask hanging on his left ear.

"Quite a sight to see you on our first mission together!"

Together. Wait what?

I creased my forehead, but before I could even asked, he spoke again.

"I will be your mentoring member for your team's mission, isn't it exciting? It's my first time going out of this organization as well!" he giddily chided that made the five of us look at him horribly.

It's like, our team will be taking care of a boss baby for me. I don't know what they think but I hope our mission will go well.

× × ×

As we rode on a taxicab driven by Even, he told us about our mission.

We will infiltrate one of a mafia organization's towering quarters and take a piece of informations that was instructed. And as he spoke about this mission, I felt small with my hairdo. I halted my plan to take off my hoodie even though I was dripping wet with sweats.

006 sat on the passenger seat while me, Thadd, Keio, and Benina have to feel like sardines in a can in this backseat. Much to double the trickling of my sweats. Good thing Keio is light enough so he sat on Thadd's lap.

"You should take off your hoodie, Ami, it looked uncomfortable on you," Benina said as she noticed I was uncomfortable with my outfit.

I beamed at her and shook my head.

"I can't, my look should surprise the people." I answered so that our conversation could finish that short. But Thadd chided in.

"I imagined Ami looking younger than her age. You say, Beni," he called our elder lady mate that was on my right. "She looks cute with her bangs. So I guessed she looked way younger with her look right now. Given with her height, she could pass as your little lassie," he jested. We didn't laugh but Keio chuckled.

"I imagined it now. Ami, you may take off your hoodie when we get off our cab," The kid told me. The two snickered but then I felt them suppressed with laughing at my dilemma.

Infiltration in a mafia organization with a child look? Really? I can't even fathom the idea! I should really change my clothes when we get to our destination!

As our cab stopped in front of a park, my teammates immediately get off. And as I was about get off as well, Even stopped me.

"Take off your hoodie jacket, Ami and leave it in here. Don't worry about your look, it's an advantage so no one could find you." I sighed and without a choice, I took off my hoodie that left me with my skinny jeans, black Body-hugging croptop, and my now hideously looking twin-ponytails.

And my disheveled bangs.

Even gaped as he saw my look in the rear view mirror.

"Well, it gave you a justice. You didn't even looked younger than your age. Just quite... Appealing." He then rearranged his cap in his head and gesture me outside. "Go, try gathering some data around this area. You might also bump into another teams, since some of them have their own missions as well." I nodded and took my step out of our cab.

When Benina and the three boys looked at me, they seem to look at me like I'm some sphinx with four heads.

"Wow, for a second I thought you were someone else," Keio gaped that made Benina and Thadd to nod in agreement.

If 006 have the 90's detective vibe, I have the 2018's modern-girl vibe. Too much for our team's outfits.

Maybe next time, I will really tell them that we should wear our uniformed clothes, so we could not face such awkward moments like this. I really couldn't fathom to see myself wearing like a swag kid with a kiddie look.

"Let's scatter the whole area and we'll meet on a nearby cake shop, Benina and Ami." 006 then looked at our boys. "You two will secure the perimeter. Inform us when you see something unusual." after then, all of us wore our ear communicators.

"How are we going to call you in here, 006? Weird names like yours shouldn't be heard by normal people in here." We all look at Thadd because we haven't thought about that.

Right, 006's name will be weird and would really cause confusions to some people.

He stared at Thadd for a moment before he answered.

"Call me Kherst when we're on our missions. Now scatter everyone, don't make a scene in here," he commanded amd we immediately walked away on different paths.
