“Viewers, another shooting against a government official occurred last night. The victim was a high-ranking officer from the Department of Tourism, while the identity of the shooter remains unknown. That’s all for our brief update, have a good day.”
The news anchor reported last night’s incident through the TV hanging from the minimarket ceiling, watched by several customers.
“Serves you right, you damn corrupt official!” cursed one of the customers with a tone full of hatred.
“Hopefully the rest of the corrupt officials follow soon!” added another customer, spitting out insults at the corrupt bureaucrats.
The minimarket was crowded that afternoon, as the shooting had taken place not far from there. People flocked to the streets to witness the scene.
When they grew tired, they went to the minimarket where Lilis worked, to rest and buy food, drinks, and other necessities.
This minimarket offered plenty of facilities for customers, such as seating, toilets, and other conveniences that ensured comfort.
Amid the bustle, Nina calmly served customers at the cashier. From time to time, her eyes flicked toward the entrance to make sure nothing suspicious happened.
An elderly man, walking with difficulty, approached the counter carrying a pack of peanut cookies and a bottle of mineral water.
“It seems the government has reactivated that mysterious sniper who disappeared long ago,” he said while placing his groceries on the counter.
Nina looked intrigued. “The mysterious sniper, Grandpa? What’s that?” she asked with curiosity.
The old man chuckled, the wrinkles on his face deepening. “Well, that was a special government agent once assigned to wipe out such problems in this country long ago.”
Nina pretended to think for a moment, twirling a strand of her hair. “Hmm, Grandpa. What if that mysterious sniper were a pretty girl like me?”
“Hahaha!” the old man laughed heartily. “A tiny pretty girl like you? No way you could do that! Eliminating someone is heavy work, child. And if you were a girl, who’d ever believe it?”
Nina smiled and nodded, as if agreeing with his words. “Hmm, you’re right, Grandpa! Sorry for saying something so strange. That’ll be twenty thousand rupiah in total.”
“Alright, here’s the money,” the old man replied, handing over a banknote.
“The amount’s exact. Do you need a bag?” Nina asked kindly.
The old man shook his head. “No need, child. I’ll eat it right outside while watching the crowd.”
After the old man left, Lisa approached. “You really are good at acting, Nina,” she whispered with a smile.
“Thank you, Captain Lisa,” Nina replied with a stiff smile.
Behind their daily routines at the minimarket, in truth, Lilis, Nina, and Lisa were secret agents working for the government.
Their mission was to carry out “clean-ups” of corrupt officials, and the minimarket served as their undercover base of operations.
When the minimarket finally quieted down, Lilis entered the back room where all their secret equipment was kept.
She opened a special locker filled with advanced tools and her covert uniform, then checked the special pistol used in last night’s operation, making sure it was still in perfect condition.
Outside, Nina stood at the cashier, observing every move of the customers with sharp vigilance. Though busy with the register, her eyes never lost their alertness for potential threats.
Lisa, who usually oversaw store operations, now sat at a corner desk with her laptop connected to the government’s secret network.
She monitored the city through surveillance cameras hidden in multiple locations. Her face was serious, and her fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, arranging everything with meticulous care.
“Captain Lisa, we have new developments,” Lilis said as she returned from the secret room after reading an update from her special agency-issued smartphone.
“What is it?” Lisa asked, eyes still fixed on the laptop screen.
“The Director sent a message. There’s a new target we need to watch and extract data from. A high-ranking official from customs. Later this afternoon, Orlan’s group will brief us.”
Lisa gave a slow nod, absorbing the information. “Alright, we’ll take on the task. Make sure all our gear is ready.”
“Understood, Captain!” Lilis replied firmly.
Meanwhile, Nina, who overheard their conversation, smiled faintly. “Looks like tonight will be lively again.”
Outside the minimarket, the curious crowd still filled the streets, talking about last night’s shooting. No one would ever suspect that inside this minimarket, secret agents were already plotting their next move to bring down another corrupt official.
Their hidden existence and tightly guarded identities allowed them to move with absolute freedom.
Not long after, Lilis pulled her phone from her bag and dialed her mother’s number.
“Hello, Mom? I’ll be working late again tonight, but don’t worry. I’ll come home once it’s done and I promise to bring you something delicious.”
“Alright then, just take care of yourself, Lilis.”
Lilis ended the call after making sure her mother was calm and reassured.
By evening, Orlan’s group arrived at the minimarket. The six of them quickly closed the store since it was empty.
The atmosphere inside suddenly transformed into a secret headquarters filled with mysterious plans.
“So, tonight you three need to disguise yourselves as clueless girls pretending to be lost and ask for directions at that house. That way, we can slip inside and steal the data.”
Orlan handed over a photo of a luxurious house with heavy security. It stood like an impenetrable fortress, complete with tall gates and surveillance cameras at every corner.
Lisa frowned. “We need to steal data from this house? What’s the case? Is he involved in corruption like the others?”
Dinan handed over a small paper containing information and evidence about their target. “He took bribes to smuggle contraband into the country,” he explained.
Nina unfolded the paper, and something slipped out. “Drugs…” she muttered.
Zack then played a video recording of the target taking bribes on the store’s laptop. The footage clearly showed the shady transaction.
Lilis’s heart pounded as she saw the evidence. She was amazed by the seniors’ ability to obtain such critical intel.
“Are you ready?” Orlan asked the three firmly.
The three young women nodded in unison. They knew how important the mission was and were prepared to do their best for justice.
“Here, props sent by the Director for you.”
Orlan handed over a large bag filled with items to support their mission that night. Inside were casual clothes, supporting gear, and some advanced communication devices.
With that, Orlan’s group left through the back door, leaving the three to prepare. They changed into their disguises and got ready.
Soon after, they left the minimarket and headed toward the target’s house. The streets were getting darker, with only a few people around, tension rising as they approached their destination.
At the front gate, Lilis took the lead. “Excuse me, sir. It seems we got lost around here. Could we ask about this address?” she asked timidly, showing a fake address, her face perfectly innocent and awkward.
The gate guard eyed them suspiciously. “Where are you girls from? How’d you end up lost here?”
Lisa stepped forward, feigning nervousness. “W-we’re from the village, and we came here looking for a friend’s house. He said he’d give us jobs, but it seems we got lost since we don’t know the way. Could you help us?”
The guard still looked doubtful, but before he could ask further, Nina quickly dropped her bag on purpose, spilling its contents on the ground.
“Oh, sorry… how clumsy of me.”
