Chapter 1:

The V.V.V.

Spy Academy [short] The V.V.V


My name is James Haret, I'm 25 years old and I have four degrees in computer science, law, accounting, and language. Ever since I was young I always wanted to become a spy and have been working towards that goal my whole life. My father was a mall cop, he too wanted to become a spy but couldn't due to certain circumstances. Today I'll be going on my first spy mission with two veteran spies.

"So you're the new recruit! The name is Danny, I'm the tech specialist that guides the field agents from a safe location and this is Shawn, he's the field agent and he specializes in armed combat, hand-to-hand combat, combat combat...and everything else that has combat in it."

Danny looked like the nerdy guy type that likes to talk a lot and Mr. Shawn looked like a real spy, like one of those you'd see in movies and stuff. He even had a codename... The Triple-V. That's a really badass codename whatever it means. He is the only one in the agency that has a codename.

"Nice to meet you, seniors...I will be in your care today."

"Ohh? The brat has manners...I like him, you like him too Shawn?"

Shawn: Hmmm

"Shawn doesn't talk a lot, he's a man of action, not words. Anyways kid, our mission today is to gather information on this guy... this is Samuel Yang! We suspect that he is part of the international criminal organization called The 12 Scorpions. Unfortunately, we have no evidence so we can't arrest him. Today he was supposed to meet up with a gang lord from the U.S called Edward Brown. We intercepted Brown at the airport and Shawn here is gonna pretend to be Brown so he can get close to Mr. Yang and gather Intel and evidence."

"Ok, I understand, but, what is my role?"

"You are gonna be with me in the van monitoring the situation. This is a chance for you to observe how we do things and gain experience you'll need in the future."

Shawn: Hmmm

"Ok, I understand."

"Let's move out!"

                                   * * *

We are in position and Mr. Shaw is about to enter. He entered with no problems since he looks a lot like Edward Brown after using special techniques to alter his appearance. Me and Danny are going to communicate with him from the van that's parked outside with an extremely small earpiece hidden deep within his ear and he has undetectable wires in his clothes so we can hear and record all their conversations.

Samuel Yang personally greeted Mr. Brown(Shawn in disguise).

"Mr. Brown it's a pleasure to finally meet you, I thank you for coming."

Shawn: The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Yang

I can't believe it! Mr. Shawn just talked!?

"He...he can talk!"

"Of course he can talk! What did you think?"

"I mean...I...I just thoug-"

"Shhhh quiet I'm trying to listen to their conversation."

"So, shall we get to business Mr. Brown, oh and before that, I know Mr. Brown likes grilled beef more than anything else so I've prepared this deluxe grilled beef for you."

"Oh no!!" Danny suddenly shouted in the van.

"What's wrong Danny?"

"That's grilled beef and Shawn is Triple-V!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I don't understand, what does Mr. Shawn's codename have to do with grilled beef?

"I mean he's V.V.V... Virgin, Vegan, and Vegetarian!"

"What! That's what Triple-V means?" I can't believe it! I thought it was a special codename given to an elite agent. "And wait, how can a person be both vegan and vegetarian at the same time?"

"Do I look like a herbivore specialist to you? How the heck am I supposed to know why he's both vegan and vegetarian! All I know is that he is a virgin, vegan and vegetarian and that's why we call him Triple-V."

"What? Herbivore? You can't call vegans herbivores that's racist!"

"What does calling vegans herbivores have anything to do with race!?"

"Well I don't know, it just feels that way. I mea-"

"You know what! shut up and let me think for a moment!"

He tapped his earpiece to talk to Shawn. "Ok, Shawn I'm gonna need you to take one for the team here. If you don't eat that beef our cover will be blown and we will never get a chance like this again."

Mr. Shawn took a tiny piece of meat and ate it. Then Danny suddenly started crying in the van.

"Why are you crying?"

"sniff* sniff* My boy finally lost his V-card...sniff*...I'm so proud of him."

"...you mean the vegan or the vegetarian one?"

"...sniff* I think it's both... just one more V to go and he'll finally be a man."

Thump*

"What happened?" Mr. Shawn suddenly fell to the ground for some reason.

"I don't know but his vitals are gone...I think he's dead."

As we were busy wondering what was going on a group of guards holding guns started shooting at the van.

"Oh no! Our cover has been blown! We have to go now!" Danny shouted as he was starting the ven and stepping on the gas.

"Wait, are we gonna leave Mr. Shawn like this?

"Don't worry, his sacrifice wasn't in vain, we gathered valuable information."

"Just what valuable information did we get from this exactly? Because I don't remember any!"

"We now know that vegans die if they eat beef!"

"But everyone knows that already!" How is something everyone already knows valuable information?

"Well, I didn't know that! If I did I wouldn't have made Shawn eat the grilled beef!...and wait, you knew he would die but you still let me make him eat it?"

"Well, I thought since he was a spy he would be immune to poisons and stuff. "

"Yes he is immune to poison, but that was beef, not poison!

"Exactly and that's supposed to be even less lethal than poison!"

As we were arguing while he was driving he didn't concentrate on where he was going and hit a fire hydrant. I was wearing seatbelts so I survived but he wasn't wearing one so he flew out of the car on impact.

"Oh my God! are you ok?"

"James...bring a pen and paper...before I die."

He was badly injured and was on the verge of death. I took out my pen and a piece of paper and he started writing a code on it. The guards that were shooting at us were going to catch up soon so I wanted him to finish quickly so I could run.

"James...this is the password of my PC...go to my house and on the PC...find an unnamed file and delete it and then delete my browser history please."

I was completely speechless, he wasted my time for that? And now the guards have caught up so it's too late to run.

"I really should have just become a mall cop like my fath-
