She's a Secret Agent?! (English Version)

[14]

 ~Misaki~

We were now in a hotel kilometers away from Cross' subdivision after we fled from the scene. It would be more complicated if the police joins in. Daniel was also here for his safety, which I kinda regret actually because he keeps on nagging about what is happening. After the incident I immediately called Boss and right now I'm talking to him. Cross and Daniel were anxiously looking out the windows and pacing back and forth around the room. I can't blame them though, it was clearly their first time being in this kind of situation. They must be in their wits end. 

"I've already cleaned the mess Misaki. You should be thankful no one witnessed it, apparently almost everyone in the subdivision attended a gathering. Lucky you. Except for the fact that the driver of that van escaped" Boss said in a deep intimidating tone.

"Yeah, I guess. Sorry, Boss. But right now, I have to tell Cross everything and his friend who was there during the shootout. I can't just leave him, especially that its possible that the driver saw his face. I can't take the risk ."I glanced at them who were now seated on the  couch, an unreadable expression plastered on their faces. I know they're confused as hell right now.

"Wise decision. Rig----

My eyebrows furrowed. Boss didn't finish as I heard gunshots from the other line. Shit. Don't tell somethings happening in the agency.

"Boss? Hello? What's happening?!" I shouted through my phone. I heard Boss' curses and a loud explosion's almost defeaned me. What the fuck. This could not be happening right now.

"Apparently, we've underestimated the Kayasa Gang and they've found us, Misaki. Somehow they knew half of the agents are sent to tha barn" Boss said through gritted teeth. He was breathing hard and I paced back and forth as I raked my hair. 

"I'll go there" I say firmly, a little nervous about all of my workmates safety. They were like a family to me. And if they need help, I'll fucking come.

"No" he cuts with such firmness in his voice. "Right now, I entrust Mr. Cross Villaverde's and Daniel's safety to you. I don't know when I can contact you next time or if I'm still alive to do that. Just focus on finding the vault, that's an order"

"But,"

"No buts, I trust in you Agent Chitoge. The whole agency depends on you. Don't worry about us, we were trained for this reason" he cuts me off and with just like that he hung up. I didn't call him back cause I know he got a lot of stuff to deal with. Boss is smart, he knows what to do. I hope he's safe. What am I thinking? he's in that position for a reason. I know he's capable of taking care of himself and also of the agency. But I can't hep but be worried . The agency is heavily secured but they managed to track them down and barge in.

"Shit" I curse under my breath. The events are fastly escalating. One minute, I was taking a leave enjoying myself and now once again I've managed to put myself in the middle of this mess.

I then cleared my throat and faced Daniel, (who apparently stopped nagging, thank God) and Cross who was silent since the ride here.

I sat on the opposite to them. 

"Could you fucking explain what the the fuck is happening?" Cross finally asked in a not so kind way. I'll let this one pass. He's confused and messed up right now.

"We've just caught ourselves in a very complicated situation" I simply say putting my cellphone on the table.

"Care to elaborate?" He raised his eyebrows. Daniel leaned close curiously.

I sighed. Took a deep breath and explained everything. I'm not really good at story-telling.

".....so right now, we have to find out where Cross' dad hid the vault containing all of the priceless things they stole first before those assholes do" I finished. Scratch that, I hate story-telling. Cross looked as if he expected this and Daniel looked.....like he's constipated to put it simply.

"Whoah. Whoah. Whoah. So, you're like a secret agent or something? So that's why you were so cool back there!" Daniel says in wonder. 

"Yeah, basically. And I can do much more than firing a gun, Daniel" I dismissed and slumped my back on the couch. 

"What the heck. This is like one of those action movies! And I'm part of it! Shit! Can we take a picture!" Daniel rose from his seat looking somewhat excited and fishing out his phone from his pocket. I think he has some loose screw himself. 

Poor Daniel. He doesn't know what he got himself into. He could be killed or tortured because he's now part of this.

"I knew it. So that's why Dad seemed so secretive and that he's seldom home. Last time I saw him he was all panicky" I hear Cross say remembering the past as he becomes silent. 

"Did he tell you where he kept those?" I ask referring to the vault. He wondered for a minute and shook his head. 

"Actually, no. Heck, I don't even know he's a damn gang leader"

Damn. This is gonna be difficult.

"Look, I know this is a lot to take in. So  for now, let's rest for a while. We've got a long day tomorrow" I advised them as I stood up from my seat. I didn't knew time could fly so fast, it was now 9 in the evening. Tired, I went directly to the bed because they said they'll just sleep on the couch. They didn't say anything when I told them we'd be sleeping in the same room  because I've already explained how dangerous it is. Come on, we're against the infamous foreign gang assholes.

I stopped near Cross who seemed to think deeply.

"Try to think of some clues or possible places where he kept those riches"  I dove unto the soft covers, clearly exhausted. My eyes close and everything turned to darkness.

<2:30 a.m>

My eyes fluttered open. My throat was dry. I groaned and after 5 minutes of just lying there, I decided to get up and drink some water. Thank goodness, the service offers a variety of drinks and foods. 

I froze when I noticed that the window was open and there was a silhouette of someone looking up at the moon silently. My agent senses kicked in but I calmed myself when I realized it was Cross.

I slowly approached him.

"Why aren't you sleeping? We still have a long day tomorrow" I say as I reached him.

"I can't. I keep on thinking about....things" he replied glancing at me and back to the sky.

"I understand you. Pero Cross, I promise everything will be better and back to normal someday" I sighed looking up at the sky also. The sky is starless and everything seemed so calm.

"Maybe" he smiled faintly.

"Yeah. Good night" I was about to walk away but he suddenly grabbed my hand. 

I looked at his eyes and I immediately stopped. His touch was sending electricity through my veins. I don't understand this.

"Thank you" He says genuinely. "For being there I know it's your job but still and also thank you for saving my ass. I owe you for that, Diana-" he stopped and thought for a minute. "Or whatever your name is"

I chuckled.

"Your welcome" I gave him a genuine smile. "Call me Misaki. Misaki Chitoge"
