Femme Fatale Chapter 1 By: Umali Umalific@hotmail.com November 30, 2000 ********************************************************************* It was early Wednesday morning at the capital. Washington's Pentagon Building is indeed very busy; much information was bustling through many desks and secret adversaries of the government. Discussions were being made with different representatives and delegates in one room debates were being done in terms of involvement in other nations political wars, military tactics in the middle east and others were talks in creating peace in our own country. In a highly secured room, a meeting went underway. A group of well-known dignitaries assembled to discuss an important citizen that's life is at stake. The eight men all of different race sat anxiously discussing other worldly current events as the other two women a tall short hair blond sat tapping her fingers on the large table taking small glances to her left. A light blue hair woman sat patiently, making notes. They wait for the last member of the group. Walking in came a woman of 5'9, she was slender in her dark green suit, matching her long mane perfectly. Her eyes were of darker shade of brown but when provoked and angry her eyes are of the sharpest red. "Goodmorning ladies and gentleman" said she as the others responded "I apologize for the wait but I too was awaiting orders from higher levels" she said walking to her reserve seat.. Now maybe we should introduce ourselves before we begin" she stated while sitting down and nodding to the man on her right. "I am General Scott Richards," said the dark haired man "I am Senator Albert Towney for the state of Massachusetts" "I am Dean Amrbose of Tactical Arms relations" "I am Steven Lang representing the office of International Affairs" "I am Jessie Hixson of the Weapons Division" "I am Derek Johnson representing the governments Technology Division" "I am Charles Chan representing the Ambassador Lin Xio of Asia" "I am Joseph Aguinaldo representing Ambassador Marcus Arellano of South America" "I am Haruka Ten'ou representing the office Special Defense" "I am Michiru Kaiou representing the office of Human Relations" "And I am Setsuna Meio, I am advisory to the Attorney General Cornell James Clews and I will be in charge of this meeting. Now my assistant will be passing around some documents to you" said Setsuna "If you proceed to the first page, it has a list of many different items and activities in which our subject has accomplished. This list is very factual and credited and the current project he's working on" "That is why we must protect him," said Mr. Chan "He has done good for our country as well, he has created machines and new technology that allow us to farm more efficiently" "Same goes for our country," said Joseph "He's participated in a challenge in which others refused and in the long run our country benefited from his work" "He is a genius, such a person should be protected by the government," said Jessie "His creation of the lotus arms has massively improved our military tactics. "Yes I have to agree to that," said Dean "he has done wonders for our military" "He's provides such fidelity and honor to our country," said Senator Albert "He's certainly earned our protection" "I'm sure you all have heard of many attempts to kidnap him and even threaten his life if he was not to participate," said Michiru "We cannot let him get into a situation where he would have to chose over his life or the countries safety, he might go against us" said Jessie "He would never betray his country" said General Richards "He's too close of a friend of mine and I've worked with him countless times to discuss military machines, I have great faith in him. His honor is deeply within ranks of many well decorated officers" "If he falls in the hands of other leaders, his mind could be put against us" said Haruka. The men and women spoke of their concerns and in no time the conversation proved their way to having the government protect this brilliant man. It was indeed true, the subject's faithfulness was well commended and his efforts were way beyond any scientist means. "I agree with what your all saying and so does that Attorney General himself. But how do we go about this is the question" asked Setsuna "We have countless times given him guards and protection, but he is stubborn and refuse to live in captivity as he says" "Isn't it to my understanding, that the guards that were to protect him failed?" said Haruka "Yes they did," said Michiru flipping the document in front of her. "Why not do it undercover?" asked Charles as everyone turned to him silently. "Undercover" "Yes, undercover, send him some highly trained professionals as his protectors" "That's right, professionals that can blend with his life style." "Mr. Chan that is indeed a good idea, but who? Being as sharp as he is he would more than likely find out" said Setsuna. "Is he married?"asked Haruka "No he isn't, he's been too busy with his work to deal with a relationships, he's had many failed girlfriends in the past that could not stand to be second to his dedication" said Michiru "I say we send a woman for the job" said Haruka "A woman?" asked Joseph "Yes a woman would be more inconspicuous" stated Haruka "I agree with Haruka, he wouldn't even think that a woman would be sent to protect him" stated Dean "How do we send her as?" asked Steven "How about we send her as a maid?" "No that wont do" said General Richards "What would happen when he goes to his office, it would certainly look obvious if the maid followed him" "General has got a point" said Albert "No, but an assistant and a roommate" stated Michiru as everyone turned to her. "I have word that our genius shares his home with two room mates, one who is an officer and a childhood friend, the other has recently moved out" "and it just so happens that his company is seeking for an assistant for him" said Setsuna watching Michiru as they became aware of the plan formulating. "Therefore she is with him almost every time," said Haruka "brilliant" "But who?" asked General "Who can have such physical skills and in a sense the same mind" "That's true, I'm quite sure he would be irritated by a woman whom is beyond dumb blondes," said Dean "May I make a suggestion?" said Haruka "How about we use the Black Widows?" she asked. All eyes averted to her questioningly. "Yes…" said the General whom has heard of such group. "Who are the Black Widows?" asked Senator Albert "Senator Towney, The Black Widows are six specially trained women duly trained to perform and succeed special task given. They are agents of loyalty to the country is very sacred to their hearts. Almost if they were born with the duty to be who they are". "What can they do?" asked Jessie "I have never heard of such group" "The black widows Mr. Aguenaldo are secret agents. Indeed you would not be aware of their assignments. They have been in many assignments, such as rescuing Casey the presidents daughter from her assailants, they are well trained spies, retrieving secret information and even protecting the president" said Setsuna "They sound really physically fit for the job but how about mentally?" asked Albert "Black Widows were chosen from the top of their ranks in not only physical training but scores beyond scholastic achievements. They in a sense could be and would succeed to be our subjects assistant" she said before turning to the Senator "They would not be lost when it comes down to conversations about the dissection of an atom if that's what your asking" "From what I hear they are also well equipped and technologically trained," said Derek "Yes, many of your secret weapons have if not will run through their hands" said Haruka "They are also professional trained killers," said Michiru "That is why you have not heard such group" "Is that right?" asked Steven almost appalled that the government can train such women. "The country would not take too lightly of training women to be killers" said Michiru "Yes, that is how we gave them their name, The Black Widows," said Setsuna calling her assistant and whispering to her ear before leaving. "If in any matter or case they would sacrifice their own lives to fulfill their mission" said Haruka "Now what of their grace and beauty, such women sound to be barbaric," said General having heard of them but not seen them himself. Haruka smiled to the comment. As the conversation took to different heights, Setsuna's assistant returned with another female companion. The woman held black shoulder length hair and wore a black low cut v-neck suit. The suit hugged her figures tightly, a short skirt adorned her hips revealing well- toned limbs. Her suit was decorated with small pins of different rankings, one to be most recognizable, a black widow. "Goodmorning Miss. Tomoe" said Setsuna as she watched the men's eyes acceptance. "Goodmorning" "Miss. Tenou would you like to introduce our guest" asked Setsuna as she received Haruka's acceptance. "Ladies and Gentleman, this is Lt. Colonel Hotaru Tomoe second in command of the Black Widows" "Goodmorning" said the group, Hotaru smiles.. "Lt., we are contemplating of using your team for a special assignments of protecting a very important scientist" said Setsuna "We have spoke about your experiences and credits but we wanted them to see how a black widow agent sees to the eye. Do we have your attention gentlemen". Setsuna watched the others gaze at Hotaru and turned for their approval. "We are agents of not only being trained in combat, scholastic challenges but also womanly etiquette," said Hotaru "She does not look of having any ability to take a man down?" stated Steven scaling her small frame. "Would you like to test your skills on Lt. Co. Tomeo?" asked Haruka daring him. Steven stood and wanted to prove his theory well. He too was trained in countless self-defense but with his test he failed with quickness. Steven came up to Hotaru and immediately initiated a punch. Hotaru quick to her feet, dodge the punch and swiftly grabbed his arm turning him around to face the group. She held one arm behind his back tightly and gripped the other towards the back of his head. A heavy grunt escaped his lips as Hotaru slams Steven on the table and held him firmly till Haruka's consent. All the eyes of the other men surprised to how quick, graceful and vital her movements were. "As you can see Mr. Lang, Black Widows are not only beautiful but they are quick to defense" stated Setsuna "These woman were hand chosen by their beauty and ability to adapt. Do not underestimate their mere gracefulness and womanly assets to think they are mere weaklings. For these woman can be very conniving" "What about it gentlemen?" asked Setsuna as she stared at the others "has our display win your approval?" The group all nodded in agreement to their choice in protection. "Now who do we choose?" asked General "You said there are others" "Of course we want to choose one to his preference," said Albert "May I add that our subjects preference are very the same of one that can match his wits. His past reference with relationships have indicated that he prefers his women blonde" "Miss. Tenou will be the one to answer to that," said Setsuna "Hotaru" "Yes, Miss Tenou" "Has agent Vixen returned from her holiday?" said Haruka as Setsuna and Michiru's smiled and nodded in agreement.
