Chereads / SCARLET: The Supremacy Queen / Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 5: SAVIOUR

Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 5: SAVIOUR

In the headquarters of a certain company. The building looks like FBI headquarters.

Upon the entrance, there's a hall that has a big logo on the floor. The logo had a skull face wearing an army hat with a sigar on its mouth. There were words written 'Dynamic Elite Assault & Tactical Headquarters' circling the logo of a skull. It's DEATH for short

In the offices, the was a lady going from files when she discovered a file of Fire Fist. She was in early 30s or late 20s. She tried to skip the file but something caught her attention on the file and she had a suprised look on her face.

"No, it can't be. But how" she was confused and shocked about the revelation but it didn't stop there.

"Wait... He got arrested... How can that be" she was confused and not shocked "I gotta show this to him" she said

And back before the harassment happen.

In the secluded backroom of the bustling cafe, Amelia found solace amidst shelves filled with coffee supplies and the subtle hum of the refrigerator.

The gentle flicker of fluorescent lights illuminated her presence as she stood before a mirror, adjusting the apron that hugged her waist.

Her reflection revealed the quiet resolve in her eyes, masked behind the delicate frames of her glasses.

With a deep breath, she took a moment to gather herself, her fingers deftly securing the tie of her apron. The anticipation of the upcoming tasks played on her features, but there was a determination that hinted at a readiness to face the challenges of her new role.

As she prepared for her debut on the cafe floor, the muted sounds of coffee machines and distant chatter served as a backdrop to her quiet ritual.

The backroom, a haven of brief respite, would soon release Amelia into the lively rhythm of the cafe, where her timid presence held the promise of a unique and blossoming story.

Amelia prepared for her first day on the job, muttering, "Alright, I need to do this."

She donned her work attire and approached a man at a table, asking, "May I take your order, sir?"

The man requested a coffee with milk. As she took the order, the door opened, revealing a tired-looking woman covering her ear, who also requested a coffee.

The woman was wearing long brown coat and had hair of the color of blood. Some may get mesmerized when you look into her red eyes and some may fear her because the woman had a neutral look, It's not cold or warm look but it depends on how you see her.

As the waitress prepared the orders, three guys in their twenties casually stroll into the cafe, sporting a laid-back style—jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers. Their relaxed demeanor suggests they're here for a chill time.

Amelia had a lot on her mind and most of the time, her mind was else where. Her co-workers had to keep reminding her to get back to work and she'll try to apologize for that.

She served the drinks to the woman and the man, but when the woman questioned her order, the waitress, nervous and scared, feared she might get fired.

Amelia was an easy to read person, even a 5 year old child could read her body language.

To her relief, the woman assured her it wasn't what she thought and explained.

Turning to the three guys, the waitress faced harassment, with one of them indifferent and placing an order. She thought, [Somebody help me], but onlookers and staff remained passive.

[I knew this was going to happen. No person would help a stranger] Amelia thought while shivering.

Almost in tears, the woman intervened, saying, "Stop what you're doing and give your order in peace."

Amelia found a glimmer of hope. Undeterred, one guy attempted to harass the woman, but she remained unfazed.

As the woman faced the guy who had taken her cup, irritation and anger evident on her face, the cup shattered by itself, leaving everyone puzzled.

The onlookers, including the Amelia, wondered, [What just happened? Why did it break?]

Undeterred, the woman, with a straight face, asked the guy, "You done?" The 2nd guy called for K to "educate her," and moments later, the woman made a shocking statement that left everyone in the cafe stunned.

Amid the shock, a new woman entered, calling for K, prompting everyone to assume she must be the one.

However, she made an oblivious statement that confused the onlookers.

Moments later, the guy sitting with the red-haired woman stood up, went to the woman who called for him, and declared, "Let's break up," leaving an air of unresolved tension in the cafe.

Amelia regarded the red-haired woman as her savior, feeling a sense of respect and gratitude towards her.

In the midst of the chaotic events, Amelia couldn't help but think, [She made my day better], grateful for the unexpected support she received from the red-haired woman on her very first day at work.

Meanwhile, In the DEATH building. The lady was on her boss's office and upon arriving at the office. The door had a Template written 'Maverick R. Steele' on the top and at the bottom of the name was 'Director of D.E.A.T.H'. The lady knocked and said "Sir, It's Agent James. May I come him?" James was the woman's last name.

"Yes. You may" the voice of the man sounded stern and deep. The door open and the man turned around on the chair he was sitting on. The man was playing game on his phone.

The man looked like Big Boss from metal gear or in other words, looked like the character snake.

He was wearing a short sleeve bottleneck. Upon closer inspection, you may realized that is a high caliber bullet proof but people may think it's just a shirt. He had a gun holder that hold 2 gun but the guns were not on his body. He was wearing black cargo pants with black boots.

"Sir you may want to look at this" James handed the file to the director. The man stopped playing games and took a look at the file.

"Everything is fine. The man is arrested, so what is the problem" the man said with a confused face. James saw that Rick, he's called Rick, is confused and prompt him

"Sir, look at what he was part of" Rick looked at that section and had a suprised look, he said "That's impossible. How can it be possible?" James saw his suprised look and Rick said while standing up "We need to have a look. Get ready, we're leaving" the man took his black leather coat and wear it and wear his black glasses.

"Yes sir" James said while getting out of the office
