Agent College - Chapter 112

The three contestants who were now in the final race of becoming the head were quite restless for the night.

“Leo, are you alright?” Harriet asked as she saw a slight tensed expression on his face while doing work.

Leonard’s routine had been messed up for the practise of this whole competition and now too. He had been participating in competitions in the day time and handling office work from home in the night.

“Yeah, yeah..I’m fine.” Leonard said as he turned to her.

“Sleep early, okay?” Harriet said.

“Hmm…Otherwise you’ll get cold.” Leonard said with a playful smile on his face.

“You looked better working.” Harriet said with a straight face.

“Hmm…Charles has a probability to win this competition.” The eagle (nickname) said as he looked at the screen of his laptop.

“I can’t believe that this person who looks so….um…”

“Weak?” Eagle completed the sentence of the girl who was standing as she bent a little to look at his laptop screen.

“Yeah. Do you think if we talk to him we can get into our old plan?” The girl asked.

“We don’t need to. He knows we both are powerful, plus I don’t need the agency anyway. Our motto is to destroy it, remember?” The guy said as he got up from the seat.

“If you say so…” The girl said and walked out of the room.

“Oye! Wait though.” The guy said as he ran towards the girl.

“What?” The girl asked as she turned around to see the guy.

“Listen….”

The next day.

Finally, the day which decides the future of the agency had come. The day had come which will end the restlessness of three individuals. Everyone was clueless about today’s situation.

“Hello great people! Today, we’ll get our new head. I know you all are quite excited to know who it will be so, without any delay I will call our top 3 contestants.”

Leonard, Charles & Sabrina came on the stage.

“As the third round is a situation based one to test the abilities of the individuals of what they can do when in pressure. Today, Mr. Harry who is our current head will personally choose the situations. So, I invite Harry sir to come on the stage.” Jordan said as he invited Mr. Harry on the stage.

“Thanks Jordan. And as you guys might be confused. It’s not like I’m going to think three situations and give it to them. No, the situations are already decided all that I will do just pass it to them. All the best to you guy!” Mr. Harry said with a firm expression.

This round did not really require any physical work. All the contestants had to do was answer according to their given situation.

Contestant: Leonard

Situation: The agency’s app that let’s agents and staff communicate needs a 7-digit passcode to open everytime. If that passcode is cracked by someone who does not belong to the agency and has bad intention to open app, how are you going to handle this?

“Hmm, interesting question. Though this situation has not happened until now but of course it isn’t impossible for hackers to crack code. So, whenever an agent opens up the app the entry has already been made in his/her account. It’s like an attendance register. We have all entries about when the app was opened and why was it opened. So, let’s say a suspicious person is able to crack the 7-digit code, first I will see his/her activities. If found suspicious, the app first will be automatically locked and would not open from that 7-digit passcode even. Afterwards, further investigation.” Leonard said with calm and confident expression.

Contestant: Charles

Situation: Agency has it’s own jail where it keeps the criminals who cannot be kept in other prisons of the country. The jail is secured by a computerised security system. But, someone tampers with the security system and three most dangerous criminals are out of the agency. What will you do?

“Hmm, call those criminals and give me a hand in destroying this agency. But I can’t say that, can I?” Charles thought before answering the question.

“Ask three teams of the finest agents in the agency to get those criminals and after they are caught, work on the security system to make it better.” Charles said with calm expression.

Contestant: Sabrina

Situation: The agency has it’s own site to inform it’s agents and staff. But this site is not open to all but somehow the site has become public. What are you going to do?

“Get the site to it’s original form first. See if some s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e information regarding the agents, staff or any other matter related to the agency has been leaked or not. If not, then good. If it has been leaked, then find solutions according to what info has been leaked. And, last but not the least, find the person who made the site open to all including civilians.” Sabrina said.

“Okay, great! You three had great answers! Now, we’ll let the judges decide who wins and becomes the head.” Jordan said.

Scores for this round were as follows. The scores were given between 0-10.

Leonard: 8

Charles:5

Sabrina:7

Adding up to the previous scores from other rounds. The head of the agency is….

“Mr. Charles Dunkin, congratulations for becoming the new head of the agency!”

Jordan said as he opened the envelope.

“Huh? Didn’t Leonard have highest scores in all rounds? How come this guy wins?” Some people from the audience questioned as soon as the result was announced.

The score board was as follows.

Round 1

Leonard: 5

Charles: 8

Sabrina: 3

Round 2

Leonard: 9

Charles: 10

Sabrina: 8

Round 3

Leonard: 8

Charles: 5

Sabrina: 7

Total

Leonard: 22

Charles: 23

Sabrina: 18

After looking at the scoreboard, everyone went silent and didn’t say anything about Charles’s victory.

In the evening, the ceremony of becoming the head of the agency was held. Everyone was invited. This ceremony was quite similar to the one when a prince becomes the king of a kingdom.

—————————————————

Sabrina and Leonard both were not sad of not winning the competition. Though, Sabrina didn’t win but she felt there was something suspicious behind Charles’s victory.

Everyone was expecting Sabrina to be sad about not winning the competition but on the contrary, she was… not sad about her losing it but sad about her brother not knowing that his scores were tampered…she was shocked that how could Leonard not see such a big difference when all the time he works with number?

“Someone has definetely tampered with the numbers… I..need to do something! God… But…ahh the ceremony…well it isn’t my ceremony, is it?” Sabrina thought as she looked at the window in her room with a wicked smile.

After a while.

“Sabrina.” Leonard said as he knocked at her room’s door.

There of course wasn’t any response. But Leonard again knocked and called her name. After his three attempts and no response from inside the room Leonard’s head started to fill with some thoughts that he didn’t wanted to happen in real life and stay as thoughts.

“God Sabrina…please tell me you haven’t done something stupid…” Leonard thought before breaking the door and getting in.

What Leonard saw just made him more anxious. His heart beat had gone up and he was sweating profusely seeing an empty room. Sabrina had left her phone and bracelet so she cannot be tracked.

“Oh god Sabrina…just because of a dumb competition…” Leonard thought.

Leonard asked his squad to find Sabrina as soon as possible and only informed the family members about Sabrina’s disappearance. But the whole family got shocked after hearing the gossips in the party of the ceremony when they had not even told.

But the Johnson family only concentrated on the ceremony and not on gossips.

As the logo of the WOSDA, a man wearing a white tuxedo with a gun pointing towards the East direction, Charles was wearing a white tuxedo and Mr. Harry was passing the gun which had been passed to him from his father. This was a symbol that the powers has been passed down now. After the ceremony a feast was there which people enjoyed.

Where people were enjoying feast and congratulating the new head, Leonard was calling every person from his squad if they have found any information about Sabrina.

Mr. Harry looked at Leonard and asked if there was any information. Leonard shook his head lightly and got back to his calls.
