Secret Police Agent

Inauguration Ceremony

That night after Claire interrogates Selby. She was already relieved Selby had someone who would always accompany her. It was none other than his familiar male friend from the first meeting.

That night Claire couldn't sleep. He wants to get back on duty with his secret police agent. Not even leave without doing any missions after the war.

Claire stared at the brightly lit screen of her phone behind the blanket. The lights in his room were deliberately extinguished. Selby has been sleeping since.

Incoming message from Mr. Astra. Just reading the name of the message, Claire was very happy. Every time Mr. Astra sends him that message there must be something to do.

^^^"Claire, good night. Have you slept? sorry I bothered you tonight. No need to linger. The point is tomorrow morning come to the main headquarters again. Something important is going to happen"^^^

^^^"Good night Mr. Astra. I haven't slept. Tomorrow I will come to the main headquarters. I have been waiting for a new mission from you. Thank you"^^^

A conversation so short. Claire finally got a good night's sleep. He was looking forward to tomorrow morning when he went to the main headquarters.

~Morning Hari~

The sun had risen from the east. The morning view of the city can be seen from Claire's window. In my heart, Claire was very happy.

Claire immediately rushed to take a shower. Followed by Selby. Both of them came down from the second floor to eat breakfast made by Claire's mother. Claire's mother was also happy because of the arrival of a friend guest from her son.

"Good morning Claire, Selby" said Claire's mom.

"Good morning Aunt" Selby said hello.

"Don't call a aunt. Just aunty"

"Oh then, good morning aunt"

Claire did not return her mother's greeting. He usually does. Or sometimes if his mood is good he just replies briefly. Claire pulled the chair from under the dining table. Prepare to eat delicious food made by his mother.

This morning's menu is vegetable soup. Equipped with several other side dishes. It's not Claire's favorite food. Her mother's favorite food.

When Selby first fed a spoonful of rice with soup, she said, "Feel aunty so delicious. I like it so much"

"Oh yeah? thank you Selby"

"It just so happens that this vegetable soup is also one of my favorite foods. My mom used to cook this when I was a kid"

"really? how fortuitous. Auntie also likes this food"

The quiet Claire and her father just quietly listened to her mother's conversation with her girl friend. Continue eating until the toilet.

"Okay, our mother goes first"

"alright then. Be careful on the road"

Claire and Selby say goodbye to Claire's parents. They both went in different cars. Selby wants to go home in a taxi. Claire waited for Claude to pick her up.

"Let's ride Miss Claire" Claude opened the windshield.

"No need to use the title of miss everything" Claire immediately opened the car door and sat on the seat next to the steering wheel.

Claire and Claude go to the main base according to Lord Astra's orders. Claude has been notified by Mr. Astra as well. Both got special calls like that.

Arriving at the main headquarters, Claire and Claude are greeted by some of his superiors wearing black suits. What the hell does this mean? no other agents came to the main headquarters other than C-C partners.

Mr. Shibe is behind Mr. Astra. They were both superiors who played an important role in this secret organization.

"Good morning Mr. Astra, Mr. Shibe. If I could know. What was the purpose of my partner and I being sent here?"

"There's a special inauguration ceremony for the two of you. Please come this way"

Mr. Shibe directed at a long, dark passageway. It feels like yesterday when we came here there was no hallway like this at the main headquarters.

Long they walk. At the end of there it began to look there was a little lighting. Claire's eyes were blind only to the darkness.

Claire is on stage. The moment they arrived, all the tops wearing white shirts and black suits stopped talking to each other. Look on the stage.

"Honored ladies and gentlemen. This morning is the great gift that the universe has given us. A few days ago there was a gun war with the mafia. The leader was captured thanks to these two partners. Claire and Claude! give a loud applause" as soon as the silent room was filled with a standing ovation.

Claire and Claude came forward. Right in front of the microphone that leads to them. Claire was confused as to what to say. Claude made a short speech.

"Thank you dear audience for attending this special inauguration ceremony. I'm Claude and this is my female partner Claire" once again everything applauded. His voice seemed to fly up to the ceiling of the room.

"Good is enough. Let's give appreciation to the two agents who have captured the mafia leader in a gun war"

Two people come forward. Carrying two black cloths folded neatly. Mr. Astra put the black cloth together. Apparently it's a robe. The black robes.

There's a hook in front of the chest. It is a circle with gold color. Mr. Astra also gave Claire a hat with a red-crystalline gold crown logo pin in the middle.

"Congratulations, you have officially become commanders in one of your forces" said Mr. Astra and Mr. Shibe simultaneously.

Claire and Claude bowed. Honoring. Now both of them were wearing the same black robes and hats.

"Say something" asked Mr. Astra

"Are my old friends not present?" Claire asked for an interview. He wanted to see Selby and Haran's faces in this inauguration ceremony.

"They'll be here soon"

Not long after, the main door opened. A group of many people, Claire's old friends had come in black-and-black clothes. Selby and Haran were there.

"They've come, now say something"

"Glovely ladies. My old friends, thank you for trusting me as commander. I promise to be a good commando for all of you. And don't bully fellow agents" Claire said out loud with the microphone.

"And also, Thank you for Mr. Astra. Which has brought me to this organization" Claire bowed to Mr. Astra.

"This secret organization has brought a huge change to myself. All this time, I didn't have a friend. Here, I met many people who could be my friends,"

"Selby and Haran were my first friends when I took a physical exam to be accepted into the organization. They have shown me the beauty of friendship that I never knew. Living the sorrow together. Carrying the burden together. Fight and protect each other. Thank you to Selby and Haran who accompanied me on the journey of my life,"

"The last. Thank you to my partner Claude. Thank you for faithfully accompanying me in carrying out various dangerous missions. Thank you for being my protective wing. Thank you for showing me something beautiful that I have never even experienced or known. Thank you for sacrificing so much for your selfish partner" Claire spoke to the person next door.

"Claire, everything you mentioned earlier, has become part of my duties and responsibilities. No need to thank. I'm also grateful to you for accompanying this annoying partner" Claire and Claude bowed.

The inauguration ceremony felt like a tribute to certain people.
