Prologue
Budapest, Prague December, 1, 2025
CIA Headquarters

The terrorist group that CIA agent Anthony Marcus had been undercover
in were busily planting a C-85 bomb packed with plastic explosive in
the basement of the building when the FBI suddenly stormed inside.
Anthony Marcus was a handsome thirty-eight year old man with corn
yellow hair, hazel green eyes flecked with soft grey, and dark brows.
He had fine high cheekbones, strong nose, and golden skin. He had fine
chiseled features that made him look handsome. He was tall, lean, and
muscular with a firm strong build. He wore a black wool sweater, black
cotton pants, and black leather shoes. He had his gun stuffed in one of
his back pockets.
A young woman of thirty years was at the head of the group of men. She
had light brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and dark brows. She had
fine boned cheeks, a straight nose, and light golden skin. She had fine
features that made her look beautiful. She was tall, slender, and
gracefully rounded. She wore her FBI uniform of a dark grey cotton
shirt under a black silk jacket, black silk skirt, and a pair of
comfortable shoes. She wore her FBI badge pinned to her jacket. The
name on the badge read Brenda Sanders. She held her gun, ready in her
hands, leveled on Anthony and the terrorists and shouted angrily,"
Freeze! You are all under arrest for terrorism!" Anthony swore
furiously and with great profanity as the terrorists began to kill the
FBI agents one by one. The young woman was soon the only FBI agent
alive.
Anthony quickly made his move and ran towards her. He knocked her to
the ground and rolled with her behind a large black car. She was about
to fire her gun at him when he showed her his CIA badge and said
angrily," I am an undercover CIA agent! This is a CIA affair!" " Not
anymore! The FBI are in charge!" she yelled back." The terrorists were
rapidly moving closer to the two agents as they continued to fire and
the bullets were flying all around the basement of the police
headquarters. Anthony suddenly had an idea and said softly," I have an
idea, Agent Sanders. We will let them capture us. As soon as we get
close to them, we shot them as fast as we can then we disarm the bomb."
The terrorists stopped firing when Anthony and Brenda rose to their
feet, tossed their guns to the floor, and said," We surrender!"
Two of the terrorists grabbed them, tied them up with thick cords, and
hauled them over to the others. Anthony and Brenda, who been working
quickly to undo their bindings with small switchblade knives, suddenly
broke free and started firing with the spare guns that all CIA and FBI
agents carried in hidden holsters under their uniforms. They managed to
kill all of the terrorists but one. He stood near the bomb and pressed
the detonating button on the bomb before as Anthony shot him. They ran
over to the bomb and began to methodically try to disarm it. Anthony
suddenly found the bomb's power source, an electrical plug inside an
power outlet, and unplugged it. The bomb silently died. A few minutes
later, the bomb suddenly started again. Anthony and Brenda quickly made
their way out of the building just as it exploded. The blast completely
demolished the building killing all of the people inside and a good
portion of the CIA and FBI agents who had been outside.
Anthony and Brenda stood together inside the Director of the CIA's
office a few hours later. The office was large, spacious, and
comfortably furnished with finely carved oakwood furniture. The
director was a small man with red hair that was like wild flames, black
eyes that had a strange gleam, and swarthy features. He wore a black
silk tweed suit with a dark grey satin necktie. The name Richard Genies
was written on his badge that was attached to his suit jacket. The
Director of the FBI was also there. She was a young woman with straight
jet black hair, amber eyes, and fine boned features that were elegant.
She wore a brown velvet blouse under a black silk jacket and black
cotton pants. She also wore a pair of slender silver eyeglasses. The
name Sarah Williams was on his badge attached to his shirt.
Richard Genies said solemnly," Agent Marcus, Agent Sanders, we have
called the both of you here because both of you are officially on
suspension for two weeks and off the terrorist case. Turn in your
badges and guns." Anthony forced himself to be calm as he asked
quietly," Why are we being suspended, sir?" " The police station was
destroyed killing many people inside as well as killing other agents,
both CIA and FBI, because of the both of you." Richard said. Anthony
glared at him angrily and said," That is not true, sir." Richard raised
a dark brow at that and asked," It's not true, Agent Marcus? Then tell
me what is true." Anthony shook his head and said," The first bomb had
been disarmed. The second bomb, buried deep within the first, had
already been armed when we arrived at the scene and was detonated by
remote control from far away. There was no one inside the police
station. The CIA and FBI agents outside were actually more terrorists
pretending to be agents. They killed the real agents and buried them
somewhere." " Do you have any evidence to prove this, Agent Marcus?"
Richard asked. Anthony shook his head and said," No, sir." " Well then,
the both of you are on official two week paid suspension and you are
off the terrorist case. The both of you will be fired if you do
anything that involves this case. Turn in your badges and your guns."
Anthony and Brenda silently placed their badges on the desk along with
their guns and knives before they left.
When Anthony and Brenda had left, the terrorists came out of their
hiding place inside the adjoining office. The terrorists had been
wearing bulletproof vests at the police station and all the guns of the
CIA and FBI had been filled with fake bullets. They walked over to the
two directors and said," What is the next target?" "FBI Headquarters,"
the directors said together.

Chapter One

Budapest, Prague December 6,2025
CIA Records Department

Anthony and Brenda quietly sneaked into the records department after
they left the director's office. There was no one in the office. They
closed the door behind them and locked the door securely shut. " What
are we doing here, Marcus ?" Brenda asked. " We are looking for
evidence, Sanders," came the soft reply from Anthony. "What kind of
evidence?" she asked." The terrorists killed and replaced the CIA and
FBI agents with their own people. The records of all CIA agents would
be kept here. We will make photo copies of these pictures then we will
go and take pictures of the people we see. We are then going to go to
FBI headquarters to check the files and take photos." Anthony said
quietly.
Anthony walked over to a file cabinet and took out all the folders from
inside one of the drawers. He placed the manila files on the table and
began leafing through them as he said," Look for the files, Sanders."
Brenda grabbed a few files and began sifting through them. Anthony
suddenly said later on after about four hours of looking through
files," These are the files." He went over to the photocopier and
quickly made a copy. He then placed all the files back in the file
cabinet.
They were just about to leave when some one was suddenly at the door
trying to get into the room. A voice suddenly said from behind the
door," What the hell?" Anthony, using all his strength, pushed the file
cabinets down upon the angry agent. The heavy cabinets knocked him to
the ground and firmly held him down. Anthony and Brenda then quickly
made their way to the storage room down in the basement. It was easy to
find the badges and make photo copies of them. Anthony and Brenda then
made their way out of the CIA Headquarters. They found Anthony's car, a
beautiful white BMW, parked in the parking lot. They got into the car
and quickly drove off to the FBI Headquarters. They found the files of
the agents and made photo copies of them as well as took photos of the
people they saw. They got two rooms at a far away hotel later on after
having a delicious dinner at a Mexican restraunt. They spent three
nights there reviewing the files and photos. They found that they did
not match in both the CIA and the FBI files.
Anthony and Brenda waited until it was late and sneaked into the CIA
Headquarters. They quickly made their way up to the director's office
and locked the door securely behind them. Anthony walked over to the
computer as he said," You look through all the hard copy files in the
filing cabinets while I check the computer." Anthony came across plans
to bomb another police station as he was searching through the
computer. Anthony copied the files onto a hard disk and stuffed the
disk inside his shirt before deleting the files from the computer.
Brenda found hard copies of the plans and they were quickly burned to
black ashes and tossed outside.
Anthony and Brenda were leaving the office when Richard Genies suddenly
appeared. He held a gun leveled at them and smiled with malevolence as
he said," Its going to be quite enjoyable to kill the both of you."
"Why are you doing this, Richard?" Anthony asked in a disgusted tone.
Richard said with pleasure," I am doing this because I intend to take
away all of the protections this country has and then place my army in
control. I will then sell the country for a great deal of money to the
first highest payer. I will first take out the police, then the army,
and then I will destroy the CIA and FBI which will leave this country
without any protection." Brenda caught sight of an empty beer bottle in
the waste basket next to the desk. She quietly made her way over to the
wastebasket where the bottle lay, grabbed it, and made her way back to
Anthony's side. She whispered quietly to him," Marcus, when I throw the
bottle in front of Genies, we must shot the bottle together." They
quietly got their guns, which they had stolen back from the security
lockers down stairs, and held them ready in their hands. Brenda
suddenly threw the at Richard and shouted loudly," Now!" They deftly
fired at the bottle as it struck Richard and the glass shattered to
pieces all over him. Richard cursed profanely as he blindly fired in
anger and fear.
Anthony and Brenda suddenly rushed him and knocked him out an office
window. The building had forty-five floors and the office was on the
forty fifth floor. Richard screamed out as he plunged downwards at a
rapid speed. He slammed heavily and with great force into a large van
on the ground and lay there lifeless. Brenda turned to Anthony as she
asked," What are we going to do now, Marcus?" Anthony said quietly," We
are going to stop the bombing of the FBI Headquarters, Sanders." They
left the CIA Headquarters, got into Anthony's car, and drove off for
FBI Headquarters.
When they finally arrived, they parked the car in a nearby dark alley
and quietly snuck into the building. Anthony turned to Brenda and said
in a whisper," I will pretend that I am a fellow terrorist and that I
have secretly worked to get you as a hostage because you are valuable.
I will then keep their attention on me while you quietly try to get
some back up from the police." Brenda nodded her head and said," All
right. Be careful, Marcus." He suddenly gave her a hard kiss and said,"
Be careful yourself, Sanders." Anthony took out his handcuffs, cuffed
one of them around Brenda's wrist, and securely locked it. He then
securely locked the other cuff around his own wrist, placed the key in
one of his pockets, leveled his gun on her and said," Let's go."
The terrorists snarled viciously at them like animals as they took
their weapons out and laughed mockingly at them as one of them said,"
Idiots! They think they can stop us!" " I am not here to stop you,
Danny," Anthony said quietly. Danny raised a brow at that and said,"
Why are you here then, Marcus?" " I have a valuable hostage for us,"
Anthony said as he showed them Brenda." She is one of the best agents
in the FBI. She is very valuable to them," Anthony explained softly.
"Why are you doing?" Danny asked uncertainly. Anthony shrugged his
shoulders and said," I have my reasons, Danny," came Anthony's mild and
vague answer. Anthony thought quickly as he saw that Danny, the leader
of the group, was uncertain. Anthony, finding it extraordinarily
difficult, managed to force himself to shot Brenda in the leg. Brenda
gasped violently in pain as the bullet hit her leg and she fell heavily
to the floor in a small pool of blood. She glared at Anthony, going
along with the act, and shouted angrily," You filthy bastered!"
Danny, also uncertainty gone, nodded firmly with pleasure and said,"
All right, Marcus. Lock her inside that old holding cell over there."
Anthony nodded, led Brenda over to the holding cell, and removed the
handcuffs before he sent her inside. He closed the door, made sure that
it would not lock, and joined the terrorists.
It was several hours later when Brenda finally saw her chance to escape
and go get help. Anthony was easily keeping the terrorists away from
her. They were busily working on the C-85 bomb. Brenda quietly made her
way out of the holding cell and found her way out of the building. She
froze when she said John Williams, the director of the FBI, walking
towards the building. He had a brutal looking gun in his hands that he
aimed at her when he caught sight of her. He smiled with vicious and
malicious satisfaction at Brenda and said," I am going to enjoy killing
you, little sister. You were always the favored child of the family,
Brenda. You were always the smart one, the good looking one, the
successful one, the responsible one, and the mature one. You were the
one who father and mother gave money to and you are the one father and
mother sent to the best schools and college. I was the one who was
hated by everyone. Now, I am going to be the one with the power and
wealth. I am going to take over this country and sell it for large
profits. I will then by my own country or even continent, perhaps Asia.
You will die, little sister." He forced her back into the building and
back into the holding cell. He smugly slammed the door shut and
securely locked it. Sh then leveled the gun on Anthony and said
smugly," This is even better then I had hoped. I get to kill my
worthless sister and I get to kill the best agent in the CIA. Get into
the cell, Marcus." Anthony quickly pushed the bomb on top of the
terrorists as he took his gun out from its hiding place, and fired at
John. He quickly made his way over to the cell where Brenda was, blew
the lock off and threw open the door. John was furious and frantically
fired his gun as he chased them into a long corridor.
Brenda caught sight of a hose and said to Anthony," I have an idea,
Marcus." She used the end of her gun to smash the glass around the hose
and turned the water on. The water cascaded from the hose and spilled
into the building. Brenda then found electric wires and said," We had
better find some where safe to hide first, Marcus." Anthony, quickly
understanding what she was going to do, scanned the area for a safe
place. He caught sight of a room several feet away and said," There a
room at the end of this corridor that would be perfect." Brenda nodded
as she made the trap and dropped the wires into the water. The
electricity surged through the water, which became a high voltage
electricity conductor. Anthony and Brenda ran as fast as they could
down the long corridor to the room. Sarah cursed profanely as he
slipped in the water and then howled in agony as he was shocked by the
high voltage currents of electricity. Sarah was quickly electrocuted to
death.
The building suddenly began to shake violently and fall apart when the
bomb exploded. Anthony and Brenda safely made it out of the building,
got in Anthony's car, and drove away. Anthony and Brenda later on
became the directors of a new organization against crime that was made
from the ruins of the CIA and the FBI. The new organization was called
A.C.B, which stands for Anti-Crime-Bureau.

Late that night at Brenda's apartment in downtown Budapest, Brenda was
suddenly woken from her heavy sleep. There was someone in her bedroom
with her. Her gun was in the drawer of her nightstand and she quickly
tried to get to it but it was too late. Brenda abruptly felt something
heavy smacked against her head. Then there was nothing but
darkness.

Chapter Two

Budapest, Prague December, 30, 2025
A.C.B Headquarters

Anthony was in the office that he shared with Brenda when the telephone
rang. Anthony answered the telephone as he said," A.C.B Headquarters,
this is Director Anthony Marcus." A raspy, harsh voice that was quite
feminine said on the other end," I have her, Director Marcus. I have
Assistant Director Brenda Sanders." Anthony was speechless as he felt
cold rage and painful fear wash over him in powerful tides." I am going
to kill her," was the last thing Anthony heard before the telephone
went dead. Anthony wasted no time is tracing the call. The trace led to
an old abandoned warehouse that been badly burnt in a fire years ago in
downtown Budapest. Anthony quickly got into his car and drove off to
the warehouse.
He found the warehouse with no problems. Anthony held his gun ready in
his hands as he made his way inside. The building was poorly lit, damp,
and rank with a fowl odor of decay and smoke. The wood that made the
building was rotten and infested with termites and other wood eating
insects. There were holes where mice and rats as well as other vermin
lived. The cobwebs of spiders filled all the spaces and gleamed darkly
in the poor lighting. A faint light was burning from underneath a door
at the far end of the long corridor.
Anthony quickly made his way to the room, tried to go inside, and found
the room was securely locked from the inside. He placed the barrel of
his gun inside the lock and fired. The lock shattered nosily and fell
to the ground inside the room. Anthony shoved the door open and went
inside. Brenda was tied with cords of thick rope to a wooden chair in
the middle of the room. Brenda could not warn Anthony that there was a
C-50 bomb hidden inside the room because an old dirty rag had been
stuffed into her mouth to keep her from talking. Brenda became frantic
when she saw her sister, Sarah, was holding a heavy hammer in one of
her hands as she quietly sneaked behind Anthony.
Sarah was about to hit Anthony with the heavy hammer when Brenda
managed to cough out the dirty rag and yell as loud as she could," Look
out, Marcus!" Anthony whirled around with his gun ready in his hands
and fired. He shot Sarah several times in both shoulders knocking her
to the floor. Anthony ran over to Brenda and cut the bindings around
her. Anthony quickly helped her over to the open window on the far wall
and helped her out the window as he said," Get the hell out of here,
Sanders!" "What about you?" Brenda asked fearfully. " That bomb has to
be disarmed before it blows. I am going to try to disarm it." Anthony
answered." I am staying! You might need help!" Brenda said firmly.
Anthony shook his head and said," You are going to get out of here,
Sanders!" Anthony said as he continued to lever her out of the window
to the ground below. " I love you, Anthony!" Brenda heard herself yell
to him as she fell." I love you too, Brenda!" Anthony called back.
Brenda then safely fell onto the thick soft grass below.
Sarah was already moving on him when Anthony turned around. She had a
dagger in one of her hands as she ran. Anthony grabbed the carpet off
the floor and swiftly wrapped it around Sarah when she got close
enough. He quickly tied her securely into the carpet with thick cords
of tight rope. Anthony then carefully lowered her out of the window.
She dropped down to the ground near Brenda. Brenda already had her gun
carefully leveled on her. Anthony then turned his attention to the bomb
that was intricately wired into the circuitry of the warehouse. It took
him several minutes to find the bomb as it was well hidden in the
flooring.
The building suddenly exploded with force a few minutes later. The
force of the explosion knocked Brenda to the ground several feet away.
She landed in a thick puddle of mud. There were pieces of the building
blow all over the place. There were small fires burning everywhere and
a thick black smoke was slowly curling into the sky from the burnt pile
of ruble.
Brenda stared in horrified fear for several agonizing moments as she
stared at the burning ruble. She suddenly caught sight of Anthony lying
in one of the burning piles of wood and stone. Brenda quickly ran over
to him, helped him up, and led the way to his car, which was parked in
a hidden dark alley a few feet away. Brenda gently helped Anthony into
the passenger seat and secured him with the seat belt. Brenda got into
the driver's seat and drove off. Sarah, who had used her knife to cut
her way out of the bindings around the carpet she had been in, suddenly
ran into the path of the car as Brenda was driving. The car slammed
into her and crushed her to the ground before it rolled over her.
Brenda yanked the car to a stop, got out of the car, and ran the few
feet back to Sarah. She then hauled Sarah over to the car, handcuffed
her wrists and ankles, and slide her into the backseat. She then
secured Sarah in place with the seatbelts. She then got back into the
car herself and drove off to a hospital.

Epilogue

Budapest, Prague December,31,2025

Anthony and Brenda were married a few months after that and had two
sons and a daughter together. They resumed their work as the directors
of A.C.B after a three month honeymoon to the Caymon Islands, Galapocus
Islands, and Australia. Sarah survived the accident and several
critical operations. She was then sent to a high security prison where
she was to remain for the rest of her life.
