Chapter 4
All she could hear was the sound of her heavy breathing and her heart pounding out of her chest. Momoko was trapped. She was in a dark alleyway, a street away from the van, but the guards were so close that if she spoke she would definitely be found.
“Doushiyo, Doushiyo, Doushiyo, Dou.shi.yo~” she thought to herself. She needed to get out but even if she could call for help, it would just put the other girls in danger.
“Think Momo, think! What can you do?” The guards were still out there and it was only a matter of time before they came into here, looked behind the dumpster and found her. Also, her leg had started bleeding with the wood still in there; she needed to get out of here.
She thought she saw someone out the corner of her eye, but they moved so fast she was not sure. The sky was black with a pinkish orange haze from the street lights, reflecting on the clouds. The moon was a perfect crescent, so light was not particularly good. Just then, she heard a loud crash from in the street, she got her night vision goggles out(which of course, being a secret agent meant they only looked like sunglasses with a few bumps at the sides for buttons) to see what was happening. She could not believe it, the guards were gone. It was just a street with some trees and parked cars. She switched the goggles to heat vision mode and saw there was no one, as if nothing had happened. She decided not to wait around and fine out more so came out from behind the dumpster, which smelt really bad by the way, and ran towards the street, keeping close to the wall. When she was sure it was safe she took her goggle/glasses off and it was then she saw it. A red tulip on the floor.
“My favourite flower…” she picked it up, “Kirei…” then realised she had stayed to long and ran to the van.
“Why don’t we try to contact her?” Maasa suggested.
“No, if she was in a situation where that would be safe to do, she would have done that herself by now.” Saki replied.
“Well we can’t sit here and do nothing Captain.” Miyabi complained.
“Everyone just calm down, I’m sure if there was an option right now Captain would have said by now. She might’ve just gotten into a point where she could be caught and had to wait.” Chinami suggested.
Captain’s eyes suddenly widened dramatically
“Oh no, Momoko injured her leg at the end of the mission.”
“Nani!” replied everyone else.
“Oh no this is terrible, what are we going to do?” Miyabi began to become very worried.
“She’s here…” said Risako, with no expression on her face or in her voice. Sure enough Risako was the only one still watching the monitors and there was Momoko.
Saki quickly returned to her computers and opened the door. Into which Momoko pulled herself in, before collapsing under her pained leg.
“Momoko thank God you’re ok!” Yurina exclaimed before really seeing her leg. “Maasa quickly get the first aid kit!
“Ryokai.”
Maasa brought the small green medical kit over to where Momoko was as Chinami and Yurina pulled her inside fully so that the door could be close and so she was now lying properly. Maasa then ripped her clothes of where the wound was
“Right, I’ll tell the driver to take us back to base.” And with that Saki began typing again.
“Captain…the chip” said Momoko’s wavering voice.
“Shh, try not to speak too much.” Maasa said, carefully brushing her fringe to try and calm her down. She then went into her pocket and pulled out the computer chip. It was in a special air tight ‘static-proof’ plastic bag. She then handed it to Miyabi who handed it onto Saki.
“Ok let’s see if we can get anything off this,” and with that she inserted it into a slot on the computer.
“It’s on a separate system so if there’s some kind of virus it shouldn’t mess up the equipment.” And with that, she was away into her work.
“Ah, ittai~” Maasa had just pulled the wooden chip out of Momoko’s leg.
“Sorry Momo, it had to be done.” And with that she began checking for splinters, then spotted something odd.
“Kuso. I think there’s something Captain needs to look at. Captain!”
Miyabi woke Captain from her ‘computer studying trance’ and signalled at Maasa.
“What is it?”
“I found this in Momo’s wound,” and she pointed to a metallic looking object, miniscule object.
“Dammit, Get This Out Of Here, they’ll find us with this thing. Can you remove it Sudou-chan?”
“I think so but not without hurting Momo a lot, we really need to be in controlled conditions wi..”
“It’s fine...just get it out.” Momo’s faint voice said.
“…wakaru.” Maasa began getting out her instruments(medical ones) and proceeded to remove the object.

omg another reader, kyaa~ i'm so happy im grinning from ear to ear.
again it's not beta'ed so do tell me if there's any huge mistakes or if i made anything unclear that seems like it should be clear.
Also just realised I left out Saki and Momoko's clothes description, I'll add this is if I ever go through and correct previous mistakes
Saki is wearing a dark blue plasticy/leather jacket with a white srtipe and a black top underneath with matching bottoms.
Momoko was wearing a spy type 'crawling in tight places' smooth tight outfit, kinda totally spies-esque but black(to hide her at night) with a utility type matching belt.
