After the talk with Andy, Julie was determined to find the files. She knew there was one day that Leo would be out of the office. She took her chances as she went to see Leann. To her very own surprise, Julie found Leann and Cass talking and laughing in her office. Julie leaned on the door with her arms cross, a plastered smile on her face. Cass was the first to see her sister “Hey, Julie!”
Leann looked up with a welcoming smile “Come over here, you’ve got to see this.” She pointed to her computer. “Look what Cass did.”
Julie walked over and found a 3-D figure of a little Barbie dancing wildly. She let out a laugh “You designed this?”
Cass smiled with a nod “Yeah, it was Leann’s idea though. She said give the toy some style, so I thought of dancing. The toy will be much smoother though.”
Julie smiled at the two, they were finally getting along “You two just made me forgot why I came down here.” She scolded, her face wrinkling as she pretended not to remember.
Leann smiled “Sure, blame it on us.”
Julie snapped her fingers “I remember now! Leann, do you have the keys to Leo’s desk drawer? He called me early this morning to get some information off of this one file that he has in his drawer.”
Leann’s smile faded “No one is allowed to go into that drawer.” She warned.
Julie nodded “I know, he told me that you would say that. But he really needs that information. He should be in that meeting in about 10 minutes and the company would lose face if he didn’t get that information.” Leann was still hesitant “Look, why don’t you come with me and stand there until I’m done?”
That seemed to work because she nodded with a smile “Sure, I guess that will work.”
The two girls entered the elevator and rode up to the 10th floor. They received strange glances from the girl that was a temporary secretary to Leo. Surely enough, the key that Leann had with her fit the lock to Leo’s drawer. Julie wasted no time as she brushed through file after file. She finally found the right one as she held it up to the light. The dialogue was done in numbers that Leann could not understand but Julie did. She held up her wrist watch and pressed a tiny button on the left. The camera took every detail that it could get. She replaced the file where she found it and looked up at Leann “Thank you, Leo should be very grateful.”
Leann snickered “That brother of mine is never grateful. He’s lucky to have you as an assistant.”
Julie smiled “You’re feeding my ego.” She joked.
The girls left the room and Julie returned to her office with Andy. He looked up from his desk to see her enter. It was hard for her to hide the smile. He only raised his eyebrow in which made her smile even wider.
That night, Julie returned home with Will and Cass. She was so excited that she dragged Will into the room. “I got it.” She whispered eventhough it was just the two of them.
“Go what?” he asked as he took off his tie. Suddenly he stopped and turned to her “You did?”
She nodded eagerly “We need to see Andy.”
“Yeah.” Will agreed. They made up another excuse with Cass. Before they left, Will noticed Cass looking extra sad “We’ll be back.” He promised.
She nodded with a small smile “Okay.”
Their plan was put into motion, Andy advised his superiors about the plan and the information they found. He was able to decode the file and found that the only way to stop the new monster machine was from the control, which was the toy shaped monster. “That’s a big risk they’re taking.” Andy began, he got up from his seat in his hidden hideout “See here…” he pointed to the wall “This part says that the machine can backfire on them. There’s only two ways to destroy it.”
Will wrinkled his eyebrows “Two? I thought you said the toy shaped one can only stop it.”
“Don’t underestimate the power of bombs.” Julie said knowingly.
Andy pointed at her with a smile “Right. If we have to destroy it, we will definitely blow up the whole building.”
“Isn’t that dangerous? How about the innocent people in there?” Will asked.
“That’s why we’re doing it tonight.” Andy said solemnly. He got up and pressed against one of the bricks on his wall. The area on the wall opened up and pushed out a table with pure explosives. “Here are our uniforms.” He handed them to Will and Julie. “This was shipped to me a couple of days ago from the Unit.”
“When are we going to get to see this ‘Unit’?” Will asked curiously while putting on his uniform, which was a dark gray shirt and pants.
“When we accomplish our mission.” Andy replied shortly. He looked up and found Will smoothing out his sleeve “Don’t touch that part!!” he pointed to the cuffs “There are darts that could be activated, shooting at 200 mph and can kill faster than a tranquilizer on an elephant. Be careful.”
Will raised his hand in a surrender motion “Anything else I need to know?”
Andy nodded “The collar is made of a device that can keep us in contact with each other in case we get separated. The inner part of the pants are made of a special flexible metal. If you end up in a fight with your enemy, kick him anywhere that will come in contact with your pant legs and he will fall quicker than a bullet.”
Julie held up her uniform to look at it. It was a tight fitting rubber material that was softer than it looked. “What does mine do? Besides making me look like cat woman?”
Andy and Will laughed “It allows you to be flexible and it’s light as a feather, letting you run like a speeding bullet.” Andy explained.
Julie raised her eyebrows “That’s all? He has killer needles and I have ‘light as a feather’? I think there is something wrong with this picture.”
Andy smiled “You would look great in it. Their eyes will be on you, in which it will give Will and I time to destroy the machines.” She opened her mouth to ask something but he quickly cut her off “There is a special design on the material that only the machines can see. You’ll see what I mean when you face them. But don’t stay in one place too long, it only works for about 1 minute.”
“That’s usually all I can handle too.” Will snorted and Andy smiled at him.
Julie put her hands on her waist “That’s not funny, Will.” She looked around “Where can I change?”
Will and Andy sat on the bed simultaneously “Here.” Andy brought his hand out. “Is something wrong with this place?”
“Oh no, you two are not getting a free show.” She walked to the trapped door and pressed on the code that Andy gave her. She stood inside the maze and changed. When she appeared the guys were loading up their weapons on their ready made belts.
Andy looked up only to be mesmerized by her petite figure against the skin tight outfit. Will only glanced at his partner and then back at Andy “See, it works on humans too.”
His comment made Julie blush as she reached for the second part of her outfit a thin black long collared coat. “When are we leaving?”
Andy looked down at his watch “In two minutes.” He handed her a small rounded gun “If those machines or anyone gets too close, just shoot the crap out of it.”
“The valuable words of the special agent.” She rolled her eyes sarcastically making Will chuckle. The three headed out to the harbor late that night. They snuck into the building with ease. Julie had a strange suspicion “Something’s not right, that was too easy.” She pointed it out to the guys.
By the time they reached the third floor, the lights throughout the floors came on blinding them since they were use to the darkness. Andy looked up “Get out now!” they rushed for the exit but the glass doors would not give.
There they stood in the middle of the third floor, the lights have been turned on and a cruel laugh erupted through the intercom system “Welcome, my guests.” The voice was not familiar. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
Julie exchanged glances with the guys, her heart thumping so hard, she was frozen in her spot. Andy looked around “What do you want?”
“You broke into my building and you are asking what I want?” the booming voice continued to laugh.
Andy narrowed his eyes “Mr. Fung, it’s been a while. I remember the last time we met was almost 4 years ago. I thought you had died from a heart attack after your son almost destroyed this company over a girl.” He recalled the situation loud and clear. Andy was working undercover when he discovered a love affair in the office between Leo and his own secretary. He was much more naïve then and was willing to do anything to save his beloved. Unfortunately, she was a spy just like Andy. It was a shame he could not save her from the evil hands of Hung Fung.
Suddenly the buzzing sound of the elevator caught their attention. The three looked up and came eye to eye with the mastermind himself. He was an old man that sat in a glass wheelchair especially made. It move with ease as it carried him over to the intruders, behind him was Leo and James along with at least 10 other men. It was Julie’s first time seeing the man, he looked more powerful than she imagined, even though he was sitting in a wheelchair she only felt fearful.
“Traitor.” Leo growled.
Andy turned to Leo with a small smile “Still gullible, I see.”
The elder man looked up to his son with disapprovement “He thinks with his little head.” He grunted as he rolled closer to the three. They stood their ground at the intimidating man “You three have guts to go here in the middle of the night. Did you think we would not put up a fight?”
Will leered his eyes at the old man “It’s wrong to build those machines and you know it.”
Mr. Fung looked up at the daring Will “You…you’re Kong Lai’s son aren’t you?” Will widened his eyes “Damn bastard wouldn’t cry for help even after I fed him to the sharks.” The man laughed while Will charged at him only to be stopped by Andy and Julie.
“You’re sick.” Julie muttered. Her eyes caught another figure hiding behind a desk. She decided not to point the moving shadow out.
“You monster!!” Will cried angrily not caring that the ten men behind had guns pointed towards their direction.
The man only laughed “Monster? Why thank you, I always appreciate compliments.” He clapped his hands “Underwater.” He commanded the building.
To the three’s shock, a cylinder wall moved around them and the middle of the floor began to move slowly downwards. She looked up and the realized the circular center of the whole building was an elevator. It stretched slowly down into the water until it reached the hidden rooms. Andy and Julie exchanged glances, it was new to them “That’s why the third floor was more special than the others.” Julie whispered.
The elder man had great hearing as he laughed “Amateurs! There are more secrets to this building than your future kids will ever learn.” He shook his head “Such a shame that they will never exist.”
“Don’t be so sure.” Andy said with confidence.
Leo snickered “Do you three think you found this place by accident? We knew you were spies all along.”
“That showed in your shock face when you saw me earlier.” Julie said sarcastically.
Leo only burned his eyes through her “You don’t believe me?” the three looked at each other carefully “I have a little surprise for you.” He waved his hand and one of their men nodded as he walked into one of the three doors and opened one. Out appeared a middle aged man, his stride had confidence in it.
Will and Julie looked at each other in shock, their eyes soon hardened when the man got closer “Sergeant Liu.” Will said through gritted teeth.
The man only smiled “Will, Julie I am very disappointed. You two were my best agents. How could you not have known?”
Andy looked up at the man “Its never too late to find out.”
“You!” he pointed at Andy with hatred “If it wasn’t for you, our plans wouldn’t be ruined!”
Mr. Fung raised a hand to silence the Sergeant “Please, old friend. There is no need to be angry. We’re about to see a big show. Didn’t you want to know what the machines can do?”
The three backed against the glass walls while the human machines were released. There were way too many of them. The three stood their stance as the machines began to attack. They were like toys compared to the machines, Andy hit all their weak spots “The center of the chest!” he warned Will. Will looked over long enough to see what Andy was doing. He used his legs to kick at their chest. While Julie worked around to dodge them, she did long enough for Will and Andy to control their machines and help her out.
When the machines were all fallen, the three were completely out of breath. Mr. Fung only clapped his hands happily “That’s a great show! It’s such a shame you three are not working for me. If you chose the death road, who am I to argue right?” his smile fell as he clapped his hands and another 30 came out.
This time, they took twice as long to defeat the machines. Julie’s mind was distracted when she couldn’t dodge the fists that came her way. She fell to the ground in pain; whipping her head back, she saw the machine reaching his leg up ready to pound on her. Andy saw as he pushed himself to fight faster but it was useless, there were too many of them. “Julie!!” he cried in the mist of the fights. Will too, couldn’t get to her in time. Julie backed away slowly but the machine just inched closer to her.
