Secret Police Agent

Different?

Claire stared at the street dust flying on the crowded highway of four-wheeled vehicles. Red light stops the vehicle.

Claire had traveled with Claude towards the capital. It's gonna take a while. The air on the highway stings. That's because the engine vehicles that have heated up and spread hot air around it.

"How many hours are we gonna get there?" Claire stretched the muscles of her body that felt stiff. The sun is almost directly above the head. It is also a factor in why the air feels like it stings the skin.

"Seven hours to go" Claude said without looking. He was focused on driving the car. The red light has changed to a green light. All vehicles that stopped returned.

Claire turned on the coolers in the vehicle. He left early in the morning. A few hours ago, the air was still cold. But now without cooling felt the air in the car feels stuffy.

Some of Claire's children's hair was hit because she turned on the coolant at high speed so that the air would cool.

Not long after, Claire fell asleep. He's leaning against the car's glass. For hours Claude drove his own car until he was exhausted. She had no plans to wake Claire up because Claire seemed to be sleeping well.

When Claire wakes up, she suddenly gets there.

"Claude, Claude, where are you?" Claude left it in the car. Claire wakes. There was a jacket on his body.

"This, isn't this...?" Claire gets out of the car. He had put on his jacket so that the other jacket he had covered him he folded neatly but still he carried it.

Claire knew she was right in front of the National Police Headquarters. However, when he was about to see a wide highway filled with traffic vehicles, which he saw....

Differ.

There is only an arid land with asphalt roads that have been messy in form. The asphalt road looked like a chunk of rock that was everywhere.

So also with the technological buildings that he had seen before. It has now become an uninhabited empty building. Some of the glasses broke.

Claire was shocked. He clenched his jaw. Swallow. Where's the street crowd he used to see? where are the high-tech buildings with satellite signal catchers on them?

Everything was different today. Is the bomb blast in this city that severe, to change the shape it should be from this capital?

Someone patted his shoulder lightly.

"Hey" said the man.

Claire was shocked. Makes the heart almost go away.

"Why? are you surprised?" claude understood the meaning of Claire's gaze.

"Very"

Claude sighed, "I did at first too. But this is the impact of the mass bomb explosion"

Claire remained silent. He has also seen live news of mass bomb blasts in the capital. But it was not expected to be this severe.

Claude looked at Claire. She smiles. Her smile was soft like cotton. Claude seems to know how Claire feels right now.

"Come, Mr. Astra is waiting for you" Claude patted Claire's shoulder once again. Then passed leaving him.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. My jacket?" Claire gave the jacket she had folded to Claude. His face is still gloomy. But she can't cry.

Claude breathed once more. He reminded Claire, "Don't be late. I'm waiting for you in the Commissioner's office" Claude went through the building.

To get to grips with the situation, Claire gazes at the destruction of the city. He feels very guilty about this. If this were the case, wouldn't civil society be affected as well? Claire clenched her palms. He swore he would give it all back. He could not trap himself in guilt.

After making up her mind, Claire walked into the building following Claude.

"Wait for the time to come." Claire said in her mind.

***

Claire accidentally entered the training camp. The situation is still the same as when in a simulated cube room.

"Claire! you're finally here" exclaimed Selby running towards Claire.

"Selby..."

"The city's state is so devastated, you can't imagine the moment the bombs go off at the same time. Everything's changing now. The city was vacated because it was potentially dangerous to stay here. But I don't know" Selby told me about a horror in a quick tone. Claire was silent for a moment. Digesting Selby's sentence.

"Claire! I told you that" Selby breathed a tired breath.

"I mean, more details"

"Oh, about that...."

"Miss Claire" someone called Claire.

Claire and Selby look at him. The middle-aged man wearing a black suit complete with a tie called for Claire.

Claire was reminded of something. He just remembered that he was summoned by Mr. Astra. Memory weakens.

But.wait. The man's face was like no stranger to her. He felt he had seen it. But where?

"Mr Astra has been waiting for miss since. Hurry up to the commissioner's room"

"I understand. Thank you"

Claire says goodbye to Selby for a while. Selby continued his training. Claire walked behind the man.

During his walk towards the commissioner's room, his head tried to remember who this man was. He felt he knew her. But he forgot about her.

Until arriving at the destination, Claire just remembered it.

Before Claire entered the room, she turned around and bowed to the man as he bent his body as well.

"Miss..."

"Thank you for driving me here" Claire said, not done.

"Yes, miss, it is my duty" the man smiled kindly.

"I know about that, thank you... Mr Mizaka"

The man Claire referred to as Mr. Mizaka was very surprised.

"Miss, you..."

"Allow you Mr Mizaka?"

"Sorry miss but, have we ever met and known"

"of course. At the headquarters of the organization located on the cloud road"

"That means, Miss Claire was the white-browed girl back then?"

"That's right"

The man then cried because he was moved. Claire replied with a sincere smile that contained a lot of gratitude.

"I didn't expect. Now you are a commander"

"Yes sir. Excuse me. Thank you" Claire went into the commissioner's office.

Mr. Mizaka. The man who once drove him to see Mr. Shihe when he was about to apply for a job as a secret police agent. You guys remember?

That night he mentioned his name. That's why Claire knew the man. Indeed he is one of the male figures present in before his current career journey.

In the commissioner's room, there are Claude, Mr. Matsumoto and his partners, as well as other superiors besides Mr. Astra and Mr. Shibe. Claire was nervous. He rarely faced those superiors. Moreover, his arrival was late because he had forgotten.

"Lord" Claire meant to say hello. He stood next to Claude.

"Why did you take so long, Claire?" Claude whispered. He had already reminded her.

"Sorry, I was talking to Selby" Claire replied in a whisper.

"Alright, let's start" commissioner Hirofumi stood up from his seat. From that moment on, the atmosphere became tense. What's the matter?
