She's A Secret Agent (Published on GN, and WN)

Episode 5: A Walk at Noon

Special Agent Violet was walking alongside Hugo around the park. Hugo decided to visit her on her lunch break, and the two ate lunch together.

"Are you full?" Hugo asked her and she nodded.

"The pasta was soggy, but it's fine. I was glad, I don't have to eat lunch with Eric and endure his nonstop talking about how girls like him and his sexcapades." She smiled as they walk side by side.

Hugo chuckled. Violet is complaining but Eric is her friend. He knows that the two are just friends and nothing more.

He was about to say something but they stopped when they heard a woman cried for help.

There's a commotion on the sidewalk, and one woman was crying saying she has been robbed by an unknown man while walking with her five-year-old daughter. On her purse that the man took was her phone, cash, and credit cards inside. She didn't know what to do. She can't leave her daughter alone in the park and try to run and catch the guy. She can't ask for help from the police because her phone was in her purse, and she had a panic attack. She only noticed that the man was wearing a black watch on his left wrist and a black long-sleeved shirt.

Violet looked at the surroundings while Hugo tends to the mother and child as they wait for the police.

A man whom she knows for sure is calmly walking away after he locked eyes with her. That was Robert Pratt. He is an ex-convict that was charged with theft and burglary on one of the biggest hotels in Manhattan. She knows him so well because he's the calmest, and most cooperative criminal that she had ever seen through her years in the FBI.

She walked towards Robert and he slowed his pace to let her catch up. "Agent Violet. Good afternoon," he said as he acknowledges his favorite agent. He was wearing a coat, a beanie on his head, and a gray turtle neck long sleeves with black pants.

"Afternoon. You've just got out of the prison?" she asked Robert and they stopped walking because Hugo called for her. She motioned for Hugo to come over and he jogged towards her and Robert. She did not even bother to introduce the two.

Robert looked at the two, "Where's Agent Eric?" he said, in avoidance of Violet's question. Violet sighed.

"I'm guessing you got out of the prison for more than three months. How was your shift at Joe's?" Violet looked at his appearance.

"How do you know I work at Joe's?" Robert frowns.

"I didn't know. I noticed. You are still wearing that apron with the Joe's Diner logo, Robert. You work at Joe's, a 24-hour diner nearby, and your shift was from 6 pm to 7 am. Your eyes are baggy, you lack sleep." She inches closer to him and Roberto's and Hugo's eyes widen. She breathes deeply and sniffs, then quickly stand straight, managing her posture. "Didn't I told you to stop reconnecting with your old friends?"

"What? What now?" Hugo was confused for a moment then realized it's Violet. She's going to make some deductions. He readied himself because he has the gut feeling that this kid is the suspect of the crime. He looked at the mother and daughter being attended by the police.
