Chapter 18 - Agency Protocol

[2024 - Outside the Interrogation Room where Glitch is being held]

Agent 47 is still on the phone with the mysterious voice, discussing their current situation.

Agent 47: We just need to end it now.

Mysterious Voice: We need to fully confirm the location of the hard drive and ensure that it actually contains the information we need.

Agent 47: If he knew what was on that drive, there is no way he would talk.

Mysterious Voice: We both know that the information we have on his sister is enough to make him talk.

Agent 47: i cant without more info

Mysterious Voice: I cant give you more info, What about our other target?

Agent 47: We are still looking for the right protocol. Nothing seems to be working right now.

Mysterious Voice: If we don't find that protocol, none of what we did matters.

Agent 47: What do you think I've been doing for the past 10 years?

Agent 47: Glitch is refusing to talk unless I give him information first, and you aren't giving me any new info. Moreover, the agency's old rules is the only reason i haven't been able to find the protocol.

Agent 47 ends the call and walks over to a room where Agent 96 and the white male, we saw in episode 15, are present.

Agent 47: Anything worked?

Agent 96: None of the protocol books from 2000 to 2009 worked so far, but I don't think anything would work... How do we even know if the right protocol is in those books?

Agent 47: We don't.

The white male, visibly distressed, speaks up, questioning the agents' intentions.

White Male: Who are you? What have I done to you?

Agent 47: You have done nothing to me... but someone else has.

White Male: Are you after money? Because if you are, my son has a lot of it. all though i havent talked to him in a while... Im sure he will pay to have me returned.

Agent 47: We're not after money. We're after information.

White Male: What are you after? Whatever it is i will tell you.

Agent 47: You don't know anything.

White Male: Then why are you doing this?

Agent 47: Because somebody else does.

[2010 - the back of the truck]

Agent 47: What is going on? Why am I here?

Agent O remains silent, his gaze focused ahead.

Agent 47: Tell me, Agent O. Why are you involved in this?

Agent O remains silent

Agent 47's frustration grows, but he knows that losing his cool won't help him in this situation.

Agent 47: Fine, keep your secrets. But know that I won't give up.

Agent 9, who has been watching silently, speaks up.

Agent 9: You think you can escape, Agent 47? You're chained up, helpless.

Agent 47: You underestimate me, Agent 9. I always find a way.

Agent 9 chuckles, seemingly amused by Agent 47's determination.

Agent 9: We'll see about that.

Agent 47's mind races with plans and strategies. He knows he needs to stay alert and seize any opportunity that presents itself.

As the journey continues, Agent 47 observes his surroundings, searching for any weakness or vulnerability in his captors.

Agent 47: So, tell me, Agent O. What's the endgame here?

Agent O remains tight-lipped, refusing to engage in conversation.

Agent 47: You may think you're on the winning side, but the truth will always come to light.

Agent O's expression remains stoic, giving nothing away.

Agent 47: Mark my words, Agent O. I will find the answers, and I will expose the truth.

The tension in the truck is palpable as Agent 47's determination clashes with the silence and secrecy of his captors.

Agent 9: We're here.

Agent O: Good, I can't survive another minute with Mr. "I will find the truth".

Agent 47 doesn't care about the mocking as they cuff him and bring him out to the hangar. As they enter, he notices a woman with dark skin, curly hair, and golden eyes.

Agent 47: And who might you be?

Amila: My name is Amila, but everyone calls me Mil.

Agent 47: What do you want, Amila?

Amila: I want a billion dollars and to live my life in the sea.

Agent 47 raises an eyebrow, confused.

Amila: Oh, you meant what I want from you?

Amila smirks and continues speaking.

Amila: Well, that's easy. I'm a handler, and your an agent. You can do the math.

Agent 47: You think I will ever betray Black Watch?

Amila: No, not willingly at least.

Amila: Take him to Emily. She is ready for him

Agent 47 is taken to another area where he meets Emily.

Emily: Finally, Agent 47 I've been waiting for this moment.

Agent 47: Who are you?

Emily: Oh, I've heard so much about you, Agent 47. I'm Emily, the head of the S.H.A.D.E brainwashing program. And you, my dear agent, are going to be my last project.

Agent 47: Brainwashing? You think you can manipulate me?

Emily: Oh, don't be so sure of yourself, Agent 47. Our techniques are quite powerful. We've turned agents like you into loyal servants before.

Agent 47: I will never betray Black Watch. You can try all you want, but I won't break.

Emily smirks confidently and signals the S.H.A.D.E operatives to prepare the brainwashing equipment.

Emily: We'll see about that, won't we? Prepare him for the procedure.

As the preparations for the brainwashing procedure continue, Emily turns to her trusted subordinates, Shadows and the Nailer.

Emily: Shadows, the Nailer, get me my toolbox.

Both Shadows and the Nailer promptly respond, acknowledging Emily's command.

Shadows: Yes, Mama.

The Nailer: Right away, Mama.

They swiftly retrieve Emily's toolbox, filled with various tools and instruments that she will use to carry out the procedure. Emily's determined expression reveals her unwavering commitment to her work and the confidence she has in her ability to manipulate Agent 47's mind.

Agent 47 as he observes Emily commanding Shadows and the Nailer, suddenly realizes that both of his trusted comrades have been brainwashed.

As Agent 47 is being restrained and prepared for the brainwashing procedure, he knows he must find a way to resist and escape this dire situation. His training, instincts, and determination will be put to the ultimate test as he fights to preserve his identity and loyalty to Black Watch.

but

he

cant...

[2 hours later]

Agent 47 emerges from the procedure, appearing as his former self on the surface, but deep within him lies the hidden persona, a loyal servant of S.H.A.D.E. This alternate persona is in control of the body, executing missions and carrying out the orders of S.H.A.D.E while Agent 47's original personality remains dormant.

Amila observes the transformation, knowing that Emily's brainwashing techniques have never failed. She understands the power and potential that lies within Agent 47 now that he is under S.H.A.D.E's control.

Emily approaches Amila, confirming the activation protocol.

Emily: The activation protocol is Protocol 25638DeltaZSUY. He is now under our command.

Amila nods, fully aware of the implications. Agent 47, once a formidable asset for Black Watch, has now become a weapon in S.H.A.D.E's hands

Amila: We must ensure that Agent 47's alter ego remains obedient and loyal to S.H.A.D.E. We have a powerful asset in our hands, and we cannot afford any missteps.

Emily: thats up to you Mil, i did my job

[2024 outside the interrogation room]

Agent 47 calling his handler.

Agent 47: Mil.

Amila: Agent 47, did you find the right protocol to activate our agent yet?

Agent 47: No, but I think while we search for the right protocol, we should get more info from Glitch.

Amila: Then do that.

Agent 47: Like I told you earlier, I can't do that because you told me to give him info first one time. Since then, he will not tell us anything unless we give him something else.

Amila: You know I can't give you anything.

Agent 47: No, I don't know why you can't give me anything. I need something if you want info on the drive.

Amila: Fine... I will get you something.

Amila hangs up the phone.

[we cut to black watch HQ Amila's office]

Lia: Mil, everything good?

Amila: Oh yeah, nothing much, just my brother.

Lia: Is everything okay?

Amila: Yeah, he just called me to tell me he might come visit, but you know how it is.

Lia: Yeah, I know what it's like... having a brother.

Amila: Well, see you tomorrow

Lia: Yeah, I guess.

Amila: Remember, Lia, we have a mission tomorrow, dont hang out with white hat all night again.

Lia: It was 1 time and i was drunk!
