Agent Sevyn Intro
A feisty bodyguard, who knows her job and knows it well. 24 in age, a sarcastic attitude and jokes are her way of living, and protecting people is her profession. Big Blue, her boss, who seems to always only be on the phone, trusts that his Agent Sevyn will serve and protect all of his best clients because she is the best. No one ever seems to take Sevyn seriously but she always comes through on top. “7” seems to be controlling Sevyn’s life and she seems to be controlling everything else.
Agent Seven Chapter 1
7:00 am reads the time on the clock. Waking up to the sound of her cell phone ringing under the mess in her room, she staggers in the dark to find it. Half sleep, she knew that she had to get the phone. It would probably be Big Blue with a case for her. Struggling, she finally finds it and picks it up on the 7th ring. “Hello”, she says while shaking her head to wake herself up. “Sevyn meet me at 7:37am, at Point Doom, and don’t be late”, a familiar voice says on the other end of the phone. “Yeah ok bu…”, she is interrupted by the click of the phone being hung up. She pulls the phone from her ear, “Grrr…I hate it when he does that,” she says while laying her head back onto the pillow.
7:27am, the young agent is driving up the hill towards Point Doom. She sees two men with black suits on at the top of the cliff. One with a silver suitcase in his hand, and the other with a cell phone. “Oh this should be lots of fun”, she says while getting out of her black Ferrari. She walks up towards the two men, putting her hands in her pockets, and looks at them with a smile. “Your two guys gonna stand there for long”, she looks at her watch, “'Cuz I could be sleeping right about now” she says while yawing. The man with the suitcase walks toward the agent’s car. He put the suitcase on top of it and opens it up. He pulls out a picture of coffee beans, and then closes the suitcase back. Turning around he hands the picture to the agent. She looks down at it with a grin, “Wow, thanks, did you take this all for me”, she says sarcastically. She proceeds to turn it up side down. “Coffee beans?” she asks. Looking at the two men with no expressions on their faces, she realizes they were not finding her amusing. “Wow you guys are a great crowd, best crowd I never had.” One of the men hands her a phone. “Agent Sevyn this line is secure we will contact you with further information when it is available”. The two men turn to walk up the hill. “Oh so I just keep this phone, and wait until you two guys call me right?” she yells. “What stiffs!”, she says while getting back into her car.
Coffee it is Chapter 2
“Youuu make me feeeel, Youuu make me fee-eel, You make me feel.. like.. a… nat…” Sevyn stops singing and turns down the music to answer the phone.. “Pizza Hut, will this be for take out, or delivery”, she says knowing it was Big Blue on the other end. “Sevyn what have I told you about your silly games?” the voice on the other end says. “Oh sorry Blue, I thought you were one of those nerds from the meeting.” “Oh so you did meet with them”, says Blue. “Yup, sure did and I must say they were not pleasant at all”. She hears the, she will never learn, sigh on the other end of the phone. “hahaha,” she giggles. “So enough of this small talk Blue, what’s all this for?” she asks while pulling up a chair. “Huro Rivera, an important merchant of an import, export business of coffee beans”, “Oh that would explain the pictures”, she says, interrupting. There is silence for a few seconds, “Oh sorry go on, go on”. “Mr. Rivera needs our help, he is getting threats from a source we don’t know of yet, and he is hiring you to protect him”. “Ha hah hah ha”, she laughs. “What? Did someone think that the best part of waking up wasn’t folders in their cup”, she bangs on the desk laughing at her joke. Not hearing any other laughter she stops. “Are you done yet, are you finished with these silly jokes”, Big Blue asks seriously. “Yeah, yeah, yeah lighten up Blue, live a little, I was only kidding.” She giggles once more. “eh heh hum”, she clears her throat. “Look Blue, I’m a top agent here. I handle the big stuff, the top dogs, and the big Chihuahua's. Why must you always put me on these kindergarten cases all the time”, she implies “This is a very important man Sevyn, he needs the best protection and we are the best people to protect him”. “Yeah, ok Blue, so where do I meet this coffee man”. “He has set up a meeting at headquarters at 7pm sharp, don’t be late” he says while clicking off the phone. “Ok…” she pulls the phone from her ear when she hears the dial tone. “ Grrr, I hate it when he does that”.
Seven minutes to seven o’clock. Chewing her gum loudly she walks into the elevator. Watching the lights, light up for each floor it stops at 7. “Ding” she says while popping a bubble. The doors open to a room with four men sitting at a table, two men she had noticed from her meeting earlier that day, but she hadn’t see the tall skinny man with a white suit on and a cigar, before. “Awww, did you guys start the party without me”, she ask while pointing her fingers back towards her. “Ah, there she is” a short stumpy man walks over towards the agent, holding up his hand. “Billy boy!” she yells, “haven’t seen you in a while” the man pushes the agent towards the table. “Mr. Rivera this is agent Sevyn” the man with the white suit takes the agents hand in his and kisses it. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, agent Sevyn”, he says charmingly. “I hear you are the best”. The agent smiles pulling her hand away. “Huro, its Huro right?” “Yes, but call me Mr. Rivera”, he says while putting the cigar in his mouth. “Yes Huro, you heard right, I am the best”, she says while sitting down in one of the leather seats. “So I would love to sit here and chit chat with all you fine gentlemen, but my meter is running here so can we get on with business.” The rest of the men at the table take their seats also. “Sevyn, Mr. Rivera here, needs our help to guard and protect him, while our other operatives find out who is threatening him”, coming from a familiar voice over a phone. “BIG! you scared the bawamma’s out of me”, she yells in surprise. “Sevyn you will guard Mr. Rivera and take control of his team of men that he has already hired.” “Oh cool so that means I’m the bos…” she is interrupted by the voice on the phone, “Yes Sevyn, Pablo and John here, are Mr. Rivera’s men.” The two men stood up. “Yes we have already met, haven’t we guys” she stands up patting the two men on the back. “Yeah these guys and I are good friends,” she says laughing. “ Ok Sevyn, Mr. Rivera will take you to his coffee factory, and you can decide from there how to handle his safety”, Big Blue says. “Ok bos…” she hears the clicking of the phone being hung up. “Grrr, I hate it when he does that.
“This is one nice place you have here”, the agents says while stepping out of the car. “Yes it has been my pride and joy for many years now” says Mr. Rivera, while opening the front door to the factory for the agent. The agent looks around observing the surroundings in the factory. “Yeah well I’m beginning to think that I’m in the wrong profession, all this for some coffee beans”, she puts her arm around Mr. Rivera’s shoulder, “you thinking about hiring an assistant”, she ask jokingly.
That’s a bomb isn’t it Chapter 3
“Well I must do some work, my assistant here Jake, will give you a tour”, Mr. Rivera says while pointing to a tall man behind the young agent. The agent turns around, she looks up at the tall man, and notices something very odd about his appearance, the agent offers her hand to the man, “It is very nice to meet you Jake”, she says while turning back around. “But I’m afraid that this plan wont work” she says to Mr. Rivera. “Why not agent Sevyn, Jake here knows the place well, and you can decide how you want to handle the security.” Mr. Huro says reassuringly. “I will take Pablo and John with me in case there is any trouble.” The agent turns to face the tall man again, ripping open his coat revealing a bomb. “Yeah, well I would be happy to have a tour from Jake here, but not when he is wearing that bomb”, she says.
The man with the bomb strapped to his chest steps back. “Stay away... stay away” he yells. “Or I’ll detonate it”, he pulls out a black stick with a red light on the top of it and a red button. The agent steps back and puts her hands in the air. “Ok, ok, ok, I’ll stay away there is no need to get physical.” Mr. Huro and the other men run behind the desk. “Hey look its Michael Jackson”, she yells while pointing towards a window behind the man. “Michael Jackson, where?” the man with the
bomb turns around. The agent runs and jumps on top of him knocking on the floor. “Wake up and smell the coffee”, she says while squeezing his nose. “This was a very very bad idea, Mr. Jackie Boy” she realizes the bomb is counting down now from 7. “Can I get some help here”, she says while taking the bomb off of the man's chest. The two other men run over to assist the agent and hold the man down. The agent takes the bomb off and observes it. “Oh this is a big one,” nice work you got here,” she says turning back to the man now being pinned down on the floor. The agent takes a knife out of her pocket. The agent starts to sing, “Green, blue or yella, which one should I cut, If I cut the wrong, this place is gonna blow up.” The men in the room look at the agent singing, “What a woman”, Mr. Rivera says from behind the desk. “Enie Minie Mini MO! ”, the agent cuts the green wire, stopping the bomb at seconds left. “Well that was easy,” she says while brushing off the dirt from her pants.
Agent Sevyn Chapter 4
The police walk the tall man to the police car. The agent looks over and gives a sharp salute, “You come back now ya hear”, she says while laughing. The cop puts the man into the police car “You saved my life Agent Sevyn”, says Mr. Rivera, “How can I ever repay you”. “Well you will probably never hear from the bomber guy again, and I always….”, the ring of her cell phone interrupts her. “Excuse me” she says while putting up one finger. “Hello”, she answers. “Well done Agent Sevyn, you have solved yet another case”, says Big Blue on the other end of the phone. “Ah, It was a piece of cake”, “Yes, well I will contact you ne…” Big Blue is interrupted by the sound of the phone clicking. He pulls the phone from his ear. “I cant believe she did that”, he says while laughing.
