What's the worst that can happen?

Stacy huddled up to Astra. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"What's the worst that can happen?" asked Astra.

They turned to see the man follow them in and lock the door behind him.

"What do people normally try to do to us?" whispered Stacy. "Rape us. Kill us. Not necessarily in that order."

"You're a cup half empty kind of girl, aren't you?" said Astra.

The policeman picked up a box from the corner of the room and placed it on the table. "Get undressed"

Stacy looked at Astra. Astra shrugged. The man threw a blue garment at each of them. Stacy peeled it off her head and looked at it quizzically. Holding it up she saw that it was a blue jumpsuit badged with "Solidarity 1" written under a corporate logo.

"My name is inspector O'Tool." said the man. "We're going to have to move quickly. I managed to get to you first but your tendency for dramatics will mean our enemies won't be far behind"

"Tendency for dramatics?" said Astra folding her arms. She looked at Stacy for support but she just shrugged. Astra looked a bit hurt.

"More importantly," said Stacy, patting Astra on the back and looking back towards O'tool, "who are our enemies?"

"A shadowy organisation with deep pockets," said O'Tool. "They might on the black budget of one of the big intelligence agencies. Sorry to be so vague. It's all we know for now."

"By we you mean who exactly?" said Stacy.

"We have many names. The Corps Vitale. Some call use the Genjitsu."

"You're from the Corps?" said Astra.

O'Tool nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for," said Astra pulling off her jacket. "Come on Stacy, you heard the man. There's no time to waste."

Astra was already down to her panties while Stacy started tentatively unbuttoning her top.

O'Tool looked at Astra and frowned. "I hope that's chocolate."
