I went inside a local restaurant not thinking about anything in particular one morning.
But, then suddenly I felt a negative presence?
What just happened?
I couldn't pinpoint or attribute it to any particular person who was present. But, it might have been the place, or even the dim atmosphere within the location itself!
What was going on?
I was a border patrol guard when I suddenly became keenly aware through a sense beyond my normal five senses that there was danger present! I tried to calm myself and look around casually. Maybe I was just being paranoid. Maybe it was just a bad vibe from the noisy crowd or the greasy smell of the food.
But then I saw him.
He was sitting in a corner booth, wearing a dark hoodie, black pants and sunglasses. There was a backpack on the floor next to him. He was fidgeting with something in his hands, something that looked like a remote control.
Apparently, he was the source of the negative presence. He was the danger!
I suddenly realized he was planning to blow up the building. There appeared to be a bomb inside his backpack.
I had to do something. I had to stop him.
But how?
Well, it turned out that the villain was a Mexican cartel criminal who wanted to blow up the building because it was just a cover for their illegal activities. He had been involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking and wanted to destroy the evidence.
I decided to act fast. I grabbed my Clock 47 pistol from my holster and made my way towards the booth. I tried to look casual, as if I was just going to order some food. I hoped no one would notice me.
But he did.
He saw me approaching and his eyes widened. He pressed the button on the remote control.
Nothing happened.
He pressed it again and again, but still nothing.
Looking confused and in a state of panic, there was nowhere to run.
I reached his booth and pointed my gun at him
and yelled.
"Freeze, scum bag!"
Drop it now, you're under arrest I shouted!
He dropped the remote control and raised his hands. "Please, don't shoot! I'm putting it down, he begged."
I kicked the backpack away from him and checked it. It was indeed a bomb, but it was faulty. The wires were loose and the timer was stuck.
I sighed in relief.
I had just prevented a disaster.
I called for backup and handcuffed him.
"Who are you? Why did you want to blow up this place?" I asked him.
He looked at me with hatred.
"I'm a member of the Los Zetas cartel. This place is a front for the DEA. They have been spying on us and trying to bust our operations. We wanted to send them a message. We wanted to make them pay!" he said.
I was shocked.
The DEA? Here?
I looked around the restaurant and noticed some people wearing earpieces and badges. Apparently, they were agents, undercover as customers and staff. They had been watching the cartel's movements and gathering evidence.
They had also been watching me.
One of them came over to me and shook my hand.
"Good job, agent. You just saved a lot of lives. And you just cracked a major case," he said.
He introduced himself as Agent Carter, the leader of the DEA team.
He told me they had been tracking the cartel for months, but they had no idea they had a mole inside their ranks. The mole was actually me!
I was stunned.
I had no idea I was working for the DEA. I had no memory of being an agent. I had no clue how I had join them or when.
I felt a sharp pain in my head and then hazy memories started flooding into my consciousness...
"What's going on? I don't recall joining the DEA. I stammered, who, who, am I?"
He smiled and patted my shoulder.

"You're one of us, special agent Ethan." You're part of a secret Darpa program called Project Atlantis.
You're a clone, he said...
"What did you say?" I asked in disbelief. Agent Carter repeated his statement, "You're one of us, Special Agent Ethan. You're a clone." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could I be a clone? What kind of organization was behind all of this? Agent Carter explained that Project Atlantis was a secret government experiment designed to create super soldiers using cloning technology.
My DNA had been extracted from a real-life agent, and I had been grown into a perfect replica of the original with enhanced abilities and skills. As I struggled to process all of this information, Agent Carter continued explaining that I had been inserted deep undercover with the border patrol guards because some of them were cartel members.
"Bullshit!"
I cried, I say that you've
been drinking or doing crack on the job.
Agent Carter:
"No it isn't, just check your own memories Ethan." You were supposed to secretly collect intelligence and take down the key members of this ruthless cartel gang without revealing your true identity.
(My mind reeled as I remembered the past few weeks - the strange memories mixed with familiar ones, the flashbacks of training sessions and combat scenarios, and now, the reality check of being a clone agent.)
Realizing the gravity of the situation, I then demanded answers from Agent Carter...
Ethan: "Why didn't you tell me any of this before sending me into the field?"
[With regret in his voice, Agent Carter admitted that informing me of my true nature may have compromised the mission. However, he had then promised full transparency moving forward and offered to brief me on everything I needed to know.]
[In that moment, I knew that life as a clone agent wouldn't be easy, but it was clear that I had a purpose greater than myself. As the reality of my true identity as a clone agent sunk in, Agent Carter began the debriefing. He explained that my mission was to infiltrate criminal organizations, gather critical intelligence, and eliminate high-value targets.]
[My enhanced physical and mental abilities, coupled with the memories and skills inherited from my genetic source, made me an invaluable asset in the fight against organized crime.]
[Over the next few weeks, I underwent intensive training to access and utilize my enhanced abilities to their fullest potential. I learned combat techniques, espionage tactics, and how to maintain my cover as a border patrol guard.]
[It was a challenging and demanding process, but my dedication to the mission kept me going.
As time passed, I adapted to my new role.
I embraced the name Special Agent Ethan, the identity given to me by the agency. My fellow border patrol guards grew to trust me, unaware of my true nature and mission. I continued to work alongside them while secretly gathering information on cartel activities.]
[One day, I received a confidential message from Agent Carter. It contained details about a major cartel operation scheduled to take place in the coming weeks. The information was vital, and the success of the mission depended on my ability to infiltrate the cartel's inner circle.]
[Undercover as a cartel member, I attended secret meetings and gained the trust of key members. My clone nature allowed me to blend in seamlessly, and I was soon privy to their most guarded secrets. I relayed all the gathered intel to Agent Carter, who coordinated with the DEA to plan a decisive strike against the cartel.]
[The day of the operation arrived. Our joint task force, comprised of DEA agents and my fellow border patrol guards (who were unaware of my true allegiance), descended upon the cartel's compound. It was a high-stakes, high-intensity raid, but with my skills and knowledge, we managed to capture several high-ranking cartel members and dismantle their operations.]
[As the dust settled and our mission concluded, Special Agent Carter commended me on my exceptional abilities and performance. He explained that Project Atlantis was a success not only because of my abilities but also because of my absolute unwavering commitment to the cause.]
[I had become a crucial asset in the endless fight against organized crime, a weapon of potential justice forged from the past.
But as I looked around at the aftermath of the operation, I couldn't help but wonder about the ethical implications of my existence as a clone agent. Who was I really? Did I have a soul, emotions, or desires of my own? These questions lingered in the back of my mind, reminding me that my journey was far from over.]
[In the days that followed, I continued my work as Special Agent Ethan, navigating the complex world of espionage and covert operations.
Each mission brought new challenges, and I honed my skills further. I knew that my unique abilities were a double-edged sword, a tool for justice that came with its own set of moral dilemmas.]
[As I faced the shadows of my past and embraced my uncertain future, one thing remained clear: I was determined to use my clone abilities for the greater good. Whether I was a product of science or destiny, I was a force to be reckoned with in the ongoing battle against the criminal underworld.]

Special Agent Ethan sat in a dimly lit room, surrounded by his fellow agents. They all wore stern expressions, knowing that their next mission was of utmost importance. Around the table, the agents included Agent Carter, the mission coordinator, Agent Sofia, an expert hacker, Agent Ramirez, a master of disguise, and Agent Mitchell, a sharpshooter.
Agent Carter: (addressing the team) "Alright, team, we have a new assignment. We've received intel on a major arms deal happening in two weeks. Our target is a high-profile arms dealer known as Viktor Kuznetsov. This mission is crucial to dismantling the global arms network he's built."
Agent Sofia: (typing on her laptop) I've been tracking Kuznetsov's digital footprint. He's cautious, but there's been chatter about a secret meeting location. It's a remote island in the Mediterranean. We believe he'll be there to finalize the deal.
Agent Ramirez: (adjusting his disguise kit) So, how do we get close to him? I can change my appearance, but we'll need a solid plan.
Agent Mitchell: (cleaning his sniper rifle) I can cover from a distance, but we'll need eyes and ears inside that meeting.
Special Agent Ethan: (leaning forward) What about using my unique abilities to infiltrate? I can pose as one of Kuznetsov's contacts.
Agent Carter: (nodding) That's a possibility, Ethan. But we need to ensure your cover is airtight. Sofia, can you forge the necessary credentials?
Agent Sofia: (confidently) Consider it done. I'll create a compelling backstory and digital records for Ethan's alias.
Agent Ramirez: (grinning) And I can provide backup as his bodyguard, ready to jump in if things go south.
Agent Mitchell: (calmly) I'll be your guardian angel from a distance, Ethan. If the need arises, I'll have a clean shot.
Special Agent Ethan: (determined) Let's do it. I'm ready to take down Kuznetsov and dismantle his operation once and for all.
The team spent the next two weeks meticulously preparing for the mission. Ethan's new identity as "Dmitri Ivanov," a wealthy arms dealer's associate, was crafted flawlessly by Sofia. Ramirez and Ethan rehearsed their roles as business partners, while Mitchell scouted the island for the perfect sniper position.
On the day of the mission, they gathered at a discreet location near the island, preparing to board a covert vessel. The tension in the air was palpable as they reviewed their plan one last time.
..........
𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞?
Agent Carter: (firmly) Remember, the objective is to gather as much intel as possible on Kuznetsov's operation. We want to shut him down, but we need concrete evidence. Ethan, once you're inside, stay vigilant.
Special Agent Ethan: (nodding) Understood. I won't let you down.
The team sailed toward the remote island under the cover of darkness. As they approached, they could see the illuminated compound where the arms deal was set to take place.
Agent Sofia: (whispering) Ethan, your forged credentials are impeccable. You're Dmitri Ivanov, arms dealer extraordinaire.
Agent Ramirez: (patting Ethan's back) And I'm your loyal bodyguard. We've got this.
Agent Mitchell: (peering through his scope) I've got a clear line of sight on the compound. Remember, Ethan, we're with you every step of the way.
With their roles established and their resolve firm, the team began their mission to infiltrate the arms dealer's secret meeting. As Special Agent Ethan stepped onto the island, he couldn't help but think about the mysterious circumstances of his existence as a clone agent.
But for now, the mission was his focus, and the fate of many countless lives hung in the balance.
Little did he know that the secrets of Project Atlantis and his own identity were about to become even more convoluted as he delved deeper into the world of international espionage and high-stakes covert operations.
As Special Agent Ethan, now posing as Dmitri Ivanov, entered the luxurious compound on the remote Mediterranean island, the tension in the air was palpable.
Armed guards patrolled the entire area, and high ranking arms dealers from around the world gathered for the illicit deal. With Agent Ramirez by his side, Ethan had to maintain his cover while gathering crucial intel.
Guard: (checking their credentials) Mr. Ivanov, Mr. Ramirez, welcome. The meeting is in the main villa. Follow me.
Special Agent Ethan: (nervous, maintaining his facade) Of course, lead the way.
Agent Ramirez: (whispering) Stay calm, Ethan. We're in this together.
Inside the opulent villa, they found themselves surrounded by the wealthy and powerful arms dealers. The tension in the room was palpable as everyone awaited the arrival of Viktor Kuznetsov.
Special Agent Ethan: (whispering to Ramirez) Keep an eye out for Kuznetsov. He's our target.
Agent Ramirez: (nodding) Got it.
Meanwhile, outside the compound, Agent Mitchell had taken position on a nearby hill, his sniper rifle ready.
Agent Mitchell: (communicating through earpiece) I've got eyes on Ethan and Ramirez. Everything seems calm so far.
Agent Carter: (through the earpiece) Stay vigilant, Mitchell. We need to know if Kuznetsov shows up.
Back inside the villa, the tension grew as a hushed murmur rippled through the room. Kuznetsov had arrived.
Viktor Kuznetsov: (addressing the room) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Today, we finalize our partnership and expand our reach in the arms trade.
Special Agent Ethan: (whispering to Ramirez) This is our chance. I'll try to get close to Kuznetsov.
Agent Ramirez: (whispering back) I've got your back.
As Ethan approached Kuznetsov, his heart raced. This was the moment they had been preparing for weeks. He engaged in small talk with the arms dealer, all the while attempting to gather information about the operation.
Viktor Kuznetsov: (suspicious) Ivanov, you're not a familiar face. What's your specialty?
Special Agent Ethan: (smoothly) Mr. Kuznetsov, I specialize in advanced weaponry, especially drone technology. I've heard you have something exceptional to offer.
Viktor Kuznetsov: (smirking) Indeed, Ivanov. Let's discuss it privately.
As Kuznetsov led Ethan to a more secluded area of the villa, Ramirez discreetly followed, ready to intervene if necessary. Meanwhile, Agent Mitchell maintained his vigil from afar.
Agent Mitchell: (through the earpiece) Ethan, Ramirez, I've got you covered. Just say the word.
Back at the compound, Agent Sofia was monitoring their communication and tracking any digital traces of Kuznetsov's operations.
Agent Sofia: (typing rapidly) Ethan, I'm scanning their network for any leads on the arms shipments. Keep him talking.
As Ethan and Kuznetsov delved deeper into their conversation, the tension escalated. Ethan needed to extract crucial information without blowing his cover.
Special Agent Ethan: (feigning interest) Your operation is impressive, Mr. Kuznetsov. But I've heard rumors of a rival arms dealer planning to disrupt your business.
Viktor Kuznetsov: (glares) Who told you that?
Special Agent Ethan: (quick thinking) I have my sources. I believe I can help you neutralize this threat.
Just as their conversation was heating up, a commotion erupted outside the villa. Gunfire and chaos filled the air.
Agent Ramirez: (urgently) Ethan, something's wrong! We need to get out of here!
Special Agent Ethan: (feigned panic) Kuznetsov, we're under attack!
Viktor Kuznetsov: (panicked) This way!
Ethan and Ramirez followed Kuznetsov as they rushed out of the villa. Outside, the arms dealers were under siege by an unknown assailant.
Agent Mitchell: (through the earpiece) Ethan, Ramirez, get to safety. I'll cover you.
Amidst the confusion, they managed to make their way towards the perimeter of the compound. But before they could escape, a figure emerged from the shadows - a figure that Special Agent Ethan never expected to encounter.
Mysterious Figure: (smirking) Well, well, well, if it isn't Dmitri Ivanov. Long time no see, brother.
Special Agent Ethan's heart stopped as he came face to face with someone who held the key to his past, a person who knew the truth about Project Atlantis. It was another clone, one he had forgotten existed - his clone sibling.
