It'd been a while, and BBHQ was getting a little
dusty.
Sage walked through the darkened
halls into the main computer room and sighed,
"The memories. Oh the
memories"
She thought back to memories of
missions with Birkoff, Ducks, Hedda, Ann, Raine.... Gap and Adriana, CC and
Majken.... where had all their dedication gone? When had the interest been lost?
Why hadn't they kept in touch as they promised?
She ran her index finger
over the top of a computer, once used by Gap to play computer games, run
SIMMs ... that's when a white envelope caught her eye. It was neatly placed in
the middle of a vacant desk. In gold ink, it simply read "Babes".
Curiosity filled her, as she ran her fingers over the writing. 'Where did this
come from?' she thought, as she carefully picked up the piece of stiff paper,
turning it over, a mission thoughts ran through her head. 'Who woul... where did
this come from... where? Why?'. She broke the seal on the back, and carefully
pulled out the contents.
It contained a small piece of
black paper with white writing. It was carefully written. It also included a
delicate silver necklace, with an oval-ish pendant, also silver. Sage held the
necklace in her hands, while she turned over the black letter.
"Babes, I know it's been a
while, but we've been unable to reach any of you. We know that you have been
inactive for months, but we have hoped we'd hear from you, as we need your help
with a mission. We will leave this here in hopes of someone reading it until and
appropriate date when we will find someone, although less suitable, to help
us."
It was simply signed
"Section 1"
Sage thought for a moment. The
Babes were created to help Section One as technical support, but because an agency capable of competing with Section
one, even if they were on the same side. When they were getting to serious they
parted, not wanting to drag anyone in for life, like Section. Sage, Ann and
Raine returned every now and again to make sure things were okay with the HQ
itself, in case of any emergency that would require the Babes to return.
Sage had been walking aimlessly
as she thought, and before she realized it, she was back in her old office.
Running her hand over her old grey phone, she picked it up and called Ann.
It took a few rings, but finally a woman answered the phone.
"Hello?" she asked,
cheerfully.
"Ann... It's Sage."
"Wow! How are you?"
"Good" Sage replied,
"But..."
"There's a problem?"
she asked, concerned.
"We need to get the babes
back into HQ".....
::::::::::::::::::
Section One sent a profile right
away. They seemed happy to have the Babes back. They had a mission
requiring a few young women to enter a University and pose as students. They
were to get to know a group of room mated, Sandy and Jessica especially. Sandy
and Jess were Section One operatives engaged in a long-term mission. They need
the necklace to complete a puzzle, one that would direct them to their next
phase of the mission. But the girls had been involved in the mission for years
now, and Section didn't want to risk any contact. So they wanted the Babes to
get involved.
:::::::::::::::::
Ann, Sage and Raine sat for
hours, arranging flights, trains, boats and cars to bring the Babes back into
BBHQ. When they got there they would hold a briefing and get the Babes
ready and settled away at their stations.
And now all they had to do was
wait for the Babes to arrive.....
On to Raine! :)
BTW - sorry for the spelling...
it's late and I'm too lazy to spell check manually.... I don't have a
spell-check installed onto my new computer yet...
"Section One" was merely for entertainment. Nothing is being made off this... it's just for fun.... used without permission....
