Chapter Text
MC, known as “Agent 606” is one of the best secret agents of NUMBERS—a secret agency in charge of confidential undertakings from personalities who don’t want their hands to be dirtied. Luciel Choi is one of these agents and he’s known as “Agent 707”, the genius hacker. No other agents know of the true identity of Agent 606, except Vanderwood or “Agent 101”, since they were trained together. What everyone knows of her is that she is also a genius hacker like Agent 707 and someone who always accomplishes their work on time and with great results. She never fails.
Nothing can be heard in the dimmed room but the sound of endless keyboard typing. MC was almost startled to hear one of her phones rang. The screen was lighted blue. “Ughh… so it’s the idiot president.”
The seemingly lifeless girl picked up the phone after the third ring, “What do you want?”
The sound of a young man answered, “My cute little Six… still as cold as ever. When will you ever warm up to me again?”
“Stop the unnecessary flirting and get to the point.”
“Alright. Don’t be mad. I called you for a mission.”
“Of course, you did.” She whispered. Annoyance can be felt from her words.
“*laughs loudly* How cute. Yes, I need your help with one of our agents.”
“Agent who?” She felt confused. Why would I need to be the one to handle this case? I’m not in charge of eliminating someone, if that’s what he wants. She thought.
“Agent 707, the one supervised by Agent 101. I just need you to keep an eye on him.”
“What? He’s already supervised by that brunette. I’m pretty sure he’s been sending you reports and stuff. What else do I need to do?”
“Yes, One has been sending me reports. I noticed that Seven sends his work late most of the time ever since the last 6 months. His work is, as you know, very important. We need agents like you and him. So, I looked into his activities and noticed some irregularities. I believe he’s joined an organization. I want you to look into that. You also ought to discover why One hasn’t reported it to me. I know that you’re the only one who can discover these things. He is a great hacker so he hid everything perfectly. You’re his only match, MC.”
“Don’t call me by that name when we’re on the phone, pres! Who knows someone might be listening to our conversation.” A blush was painted in her face upon hearing him say her name. The president of the agency is MC’s childhood friend. They have known each other for so long, yet ever since the agency was built, they rarely met each other and is focused on their lives as secret agents—as people who live behind the shadows, as people with no real identity in the society. “Anyway, I do understand that you need me to do this. However, I have almost five ongoing missions right now. You just gave them to me a week ago. All of it are big cases. Do you want me to work on all of it simultaneously?”
“What are you saying? I bet you’ve finished everything by now. You’re just delaying your submission.” He continued, “And about that ‘someone might be listening to our conversation’ ploy of yours, I know no one can listen to this even if they want to. Your defenses are too strong.” He laughed cheerfully.
“Ughh. Yeah, yeah. You caught me, Clark. Then… I’ll send the other files for my other jobs in a while.” She paused for a second. “All done. You can check it out. Oh, regarding the task you’re giving me, I’m looking into it right now. I should know more about it before accepting the job, right?” A devious smirk is shown in her face.
"I can see your wily smile in my mind right now." The agency's president said as he chuckled.
She looked into Seven’s information, his current and past assignments, the activities he had done for the past 6 months in the internet and in the CCTV’s in his house’s parking lot and near places all in just 10 minutes. She found the organization he had joined, not 6 months ago, but 2 years ago. Perhaps this is related to the organization that pres was saying. And woah, he's handsome.
“Bingo! I found something. I think this will be interesting. I’ll take it—on one condition.” She suggested to the agency’s president.
“Just what I expect from my number 1. Okay, what is it?” The president teased her.
“I’m number 6, your number 1 is that long-haired brunette.”
“Well, you’re my number 1 in everything else, so why not?”
“There you go again, with your teasing. Anyway, my condition is that you won’t give me additional missions for the next month? I intend to focus on this mission.”
“You can’t fool me. You just want to hang around searching for fun things. But, if you will agree to this with just that condition, then I guess we have a deal.”
“Yay! Thanks, pres! I’ll start working on it.”
“Okay, then good luck. Not that you need it with your skills. I’ll end this call now, MC. I will hear from you again.”
The phone call ended. Emptiness filled her once again. Talking with her childhood friend once in a while, even if it’s only for missions, have cheered her up a little. His voice gives melody to her dull soundless world. She has lost all motivation since starting this job. All she wants to find is a reason to live. A purpose. Or an entertaining event to happen to her life.
She continued the search that she has been doing since the phone call about Agent 707. She discovered the organization he joined but didn’t report to the agency—Rika’s Fundraising Association. So, he’s a very kind-hearted guy? He can report this kind of stuff in the agency. Donating is not prohibited. Why would he hide it?
Looking further into the organization, she stumbled into an application that can be downloaded. Lucky! Looks like they have an app exclusive for the RFA’s member only. Clark’s right. No one could have found it if it wasn’t me. Agent 707 really is a genius hacker. No wonder, he’s valuable.
She downloaded the app using one of her phones that can’t be traced. She typed in codes that could lead to another source if ever the hacker searched for evidence on how she accessed the app. She found out that the organization only has 7 members namely Rika, V, Zen, Seven, Yoosung, Jumin, and Jaehee. However, the founder had passed away 6 months ago, which leaves it to 6 members. In her mind, she thought that that may be one of the reasons why the agent has been sending his work behind schedule for the past 6 months. She began to become interested in the red-head agent.
Thus, she thought of an idea. I know a fun way to discover what this agent is hiding! Operation infiltrate!
