All it takes is one sound, one explosion, one mistake, or one target to start the battle.

Crouching behind a black SUV, Ari aimed her gun at the lock on the closed doors of a van, guarded by two men in black suits and ties. Next to her was her assistant listening well to the instructions his boss gave.

"On the count of three fire at the extinguisher to the right. Got it?"

He gave a firm nod and aimed at the fire extinguisher about 25 meters across the dimly lit garage.

"One..." Ari squinted her eyes.

"Two..." She shot at the lock, firing two bullets one after another. She ran towards the van and jump kicked off of a pillar hitting one of the guard and knocking him to the floor.

"Three..." The assistant shot at the extinguisher as white foams of liquid carbon dioxide clouded around the combating Ari. She spun around and hit another guard on the head with the butt of her gun, she grabbed him by the neck and knee kicked the stomach as he fell to the floor coughing up blood.

She jerked open the lock on the van and swung open the door as more men in black suits began approaching her from behind parked cars in the garage. Ari's assistant came out of hiding and took care of the remaining men.

Inside the van was a tied up lab researcher, Jaeyo, and across from him was a briefcase. Ari untied the young man, grabbed the briefcase and hurried out of the van. That's when she noticed how outnumbered her side was. Surrounding her were 12 men, three of them who were holding her assistant down as he struggled to fight free from their tight grasp.

"Oh fuck. Y'all are really asking for it," Ari murmured. "Ok, let's make a deal, alright," she sighed rubbing her temple.

The guards gave her a blank stern look.

"You guys can have him" she pointed at her assistant "and I'll take this and the doc" she said holding up the briefcase and gesturing towards the lab researcher.

"We don't need much bloodshed right?"

Four men started taking steps toward her.

"No? Not a good deal? Okay, I warned you"

She swung the briefcase at one of the guards and punched him straight in the face, promising a broken nose. She dodged a punch and blocked another, returning a heel kick at the groin and a punch at the side of the head. She back kicked another guard as he grabbed her legs and attempted to swing her off, but she grabbed onto his shoulder, climbed up behind his back and twisted his neck, Ari smirking at the loud crack. Boy does she loves her job.

Again she grabbed the briefcase on the ground and stood up. Just then a sharp pain shot up her back as she stumbled forward. Another hit landed on her right shoulder as she fell to her knees. One of the guards was using a metal batten to knock her down. At this point, she was on the floor as pain swept through her whole body unable to fight back. Her face scrunched up in excruciating pain as she tried to pull herself back up.

Shots of bullets rang out consecutively, one after another, the sound echoing in the garage. Loud clank of the metal baton falling to the concrete ground rang in Ari's ear followed by a thud where a body landed by her foot.

She could see a familiar figure aiming a gun at the guards, shooting bullets as one by one they fell to the ground, drop dead.

The figure started walked towards Ari who lay on the concrete floor. His dress shoes knocking at the ground with every step he took. 

Ari squinted her eyes, trying to ignore the pain while attempting to stand up, but fell forward harshly. A slight shriek escaped her mouth when she ended up back on the ground holding onto her aching shoulder. 

The figure crouched down beside Ari, sliding his hand under her neck to support her structure and picked her up bridal style. She didn't expect this simple operation to end this way, this isn't what she was known for.  

The man gave her a cross look, pianful as if he was shooting bullets at her with his eyes. The annoyance was clear in his voice as he walked in the diraction out of the garage, carrying he rin his arms, and spiting out disciplinary words, "What an S class Agent with amateur abilities. Maybe we need to go back to day one lesson one: If you have a gun, learn to use it."
