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

[41]

White ceilings and a strong smell of alcohol and antiseptics greeted me when I woke up. I groaned as I felt pounding on my ears. I tried to get up but a hand stopped me. 

"Misaki, don't, you're still too weak" Daniel's worried face came into view. He then helped me to lie down again to which I didn't complain because of this pulsing ache on my shoulder. 

I didn't just ask where I am since I knew this place already, this is a hospital. I've always woken up into one through my years.

"What happened?" I inquired as he sat down on the chair beside me. 

"The doctor already treated your wounds, seems also that you're suffering fatigue kaya so we just let you rest" he explains with his face still serious. He was different from that goofy Daniel I know. He was worried.

"So how are you feeling now?" He questions looking at my face.

"Fine, as usual" I say. The sound of my phone disrupted us from our conversation. I was about to reach for it but Daniel picked it for me. 

"I'll get it" He then answers it and gave it to my hand as I rolled my eyes. He's treating me like a child.

"How are you Agent M? Glad you're awake" Boss sighed a relief.

"Fine, as usual" I gave him the same answer.

"I've called to congratulate you Agent M. You never fail me"

"Thank you Boss, It's my job after all" I shrugged.

"Just want you to know everything's been taken care off. The treasure are all on the right custody, the gang members are now in the hands of the Japanese police, behind bars, Ivy Brooklyn isn't an agent anymore and is banned from ever stepping into the agency , we found the pen that you've always carry and what she said was all recorded now she's suffering in the Black Knights' Maximum Security Prison, and the Japanese government are expressing their gratitude towards you" he informs me in almost one breath. Oh I also forgot about that pen, maybe it had automatically recorded everything when I placed t inside the pocket of my jeans. 

"Us, Boss. Couldn't have done it without all of you" I corrected him.

"But still, thank you for trusting me into this mission" I added, smiling a bit.

"Your father will be very proud of you Agent M, he has always been" he paused and I sighed .

"I hope so"

"So," he clears his throat. "I'll just update you if anything happens, rest for now Agent M"

"Thank you Boss"

I set my phone aside after I ended the call. Everything was fine now, but why do I feel like something is missing.  I scanned the room but there was no trace of him. I bit my lip contemplating if I should ask Daniel.

"Daniel?" I cleared my throat trying to get his attention.

"Yes?" He then approaches me. He was done talking to my doctor and he also said I could already be discharged now.

"Um..." I paused. "Where's Cross, is he okay?"

He froze for a second before staring at me. I was terrified for his answer. What if something happened.

"He's fine, Misaki. They shot Mr. Hayashi before he has the chance to shoot us"

 I sighed a relief knowing he was safe.
