Day 97: Whispers

Provided by CreateHer Stock

Write about someone who has to whisper a secret to someone else.

The girl with the purple Afro nodded after the agent whispered in her ear. She then leaned over to the bald man next to her and whispered what the agent said into his ear. He frowned a little and then leaned over to the person next to him

And thus this bizarre, dangerous not-a-game of telephone began. The circular table they were sitting at hosted about 35 people, all waiting anxiously for their turn. Outside of the table, stood a group of watchful agents lined up along the wall and two-way mirror. On the other side of the mirror were the officers in charge of this particular test.

The 12th person to get the whispered message, turned to the person next to him to repeat what he had heard but paused. He turned back to the blonde girl who just told him the secret and she shook her head, frantically. 

But it was too late.

An agent directly behind him pulled out a long cattle prod-style weapon and stuck him in the back. The dude seized three times and then passed out on the floor. Everyone froze in their chairs.

Three agents grabbed the unconscious man and took him out of the room.

"Continue," an agent commanded.

The whispers picked up again.
