Part 17


     Me Li was a former secret agent of TSS, The Secret Service. She was sent to numerous missions which mostly involved disguising and extracting sensitive information from men and women who were trying to get their dirty hands on the political affairs of the state. She was one of the best in TSS, an bilingual person, having lived in Shanghai, China. This Chinese woman was a ghost to her targets, a silent predator lying in the grass, stalking its prey, watching, waiting for the perfect moment. If all these were kept constant, the distraction of her prey as he or she made their useless plots, the seduction of men by her body, the causal talks between predator and prey, or the dying minute of getting the job done, she would put her plans into action and get what she was ordered to do. Get your information and kill your prey, it was as simple as that.
     Me Li retired at the age of 35. She had decided to settle down for a brand new life, free from the killings of her past. She got married to a young man and had a child at 37. However, two years later, her husband was driving his car with their child when he was suddenly attacked by some men. She found his body brunt along with the child. She also heard that these same men also attacked and killed everyone in TSS. Realising that she was the next target on the list, she went into hiding and grieved over her husband, child and the entire TSS. She looked at a broken mirror lying on the floor and concluded that she had one more assignment to do. There was a reason why she was called the War Queen, because she was war itself.
     She went back home to claim her weapons. The enemy however arrived and blew up the house. They left the burning house, thinking that she was dead, but not knowing that she survived by trapping herself in an underground vault she had dug out. She escaped through a tunnel and went back to her hideout. With the weapons of war and disguise at her disposal, she went after the killers to avenge the deaths of those she loved.
     While Me Li went about killing them silently, she discovered that they were after Morgan. She saved Morgan and also completed her last assignment. Morgan thanked her for saving his life and offered her the position of being his bodyguard. She accepted the offer, knowing that saying no would mean going back to her past and feeling lonely, with no husband or child to brighten her face. She worked for Morgan for close to three years of his tenor. She impressed him a lot, and he was moved to making her his personal bodyguard and appointing some men under her.
     But ever since she worked for Morgan, she became the type that followed instincts instead of orders. Although most times Morgan was saved repeatedly through this method, there were other times when it cost him dearly, especially in this very moment.
     Immediately the door was opened, the guns were let loose. Morgan was surprised that he wasn't shot at, but he observed the bodies of dead men lying in his office. Alex was also dead, his eyes in dead shock, followed by his mouth and twisted face. Morgan looked at Me Li and her men, all of whom were pointing their weapons at him.
     " What's the meaning of this Me Li?", he thundered," Do you realise what you are doing?".
     " I know exactly what I'm doing", said Me Li," I'm saving our people from annihilation".
     " Against Heaven? Are you mad? Who do you think you are? A Maccabus trying to save her people against a nation of high tech and weaponry?".
     " Yes sir. I am a Maccabus, fighting for what is right. You did this. You have ruined this nation by your selfish interest. I'm not going to sit and wait for these men to destroy us all. I have all the soldiers and most of the citizens as my men. We have decided to fight back and defend this city to our dying breath".
     " You are crazy Me Li. If you do this, you have only achieved nothing. We will all be as good as dead".
     " Who said we? Do you really think I will let you live?".
     " What! Treason and revolt at the same time? You cannot do this Me Li. I am your president!".
     Me Li laughed before saying," As we speak, my men have driven out the soldiers dispatched by Heaven, killing some and looting their remains. If its a war Heaven wants, its a war she will get. But you however won't live to see the end of this day. You decided to sign us off to our death. Well sir, it was nice being your 'personal' bodyguard".
     With that she left her men to take care of Morgan.
     " Me Li! Wait! Don't let me die! Please! It wasn't me Me Li! Someone is framing me! Please don't kill me! Someone is behind this Me Li! Please!", he cried as mucous and tears trailed downwards on his face.
     The War Queen showed no mercy. Me Li gave the command, and the sound of gunshots was heard.
