Thumbs up Re: Amazing Fiction #i (Scorpion T/F)

I'm not a great writer, so don't take my advice too seriously.
You've got some typos so watch for that. Also run-on sentences that need to be broken up. Like "A hot tip nabbed by the Interpol just in time had placed their watchful eyes and ears over a vein of black market dealings that were supposedly dealing with leaked samples of the bacteria in question, and it was Charlie’s assignment to find, apprehend and search suspects, and upon retrieving the samples, bring them back to use as evidence." That could be at least 2 sentences if not 3. Also just general wordiness. Stuff like "This act alone sent everyone into a trance as they watched Charlie move too fast for them to make sense of how she had managed to duck after she had dove with such momentum at the large man." needs to be rewritten.

Besides that stuff, it's quite good! I really liked some of of your lines for some reason. Like "Eyes bounced like ping pong balls, back and forth between the bidders, the offers by the rich competitors deflating egos and inflating anxiety." Or little sensory details like the sound of venom sizzling on the ground. I also liked your humorous dialogue. Reminds me of an action movie or comic or something. Really nice job, if you cleaned it up, it would be even better
