Marsala woke up and saw Amuro's face beside her's. She reached to caress his right cheek. He's sleeping soundly.

He looks peaceful and she hoped it will always be like that. Bourbon deserves happiness but... She thought as she sat up, covering her bare chest with the blanket. There was a dull pain on her lower back but she ignored it.

Her green eyes softly gazed at his face.

How do should I tell him about the organization's latest action about the other rat they found? Her eyes stared at his sleeping state and his personal phone on top of the bedside table.

...

(Earlier)

Her partner Vodka just got out of the apartment of Scotch. Marsala was standing outside. "The place is clean, too clean."

It was good that she and Bourbon got ahead to collect his personal things and clean his apartment from any DNA. 

"Yeah, it's suspicious." Marsala just added and followed Vodka to leave the apartment building. 

Vodka threw his key to her, telling her to drive his car. The woman just sat on the driver's seat and started the car. "So? What are we going to do now?" She asked, glancing at Vodka.

"We report." He answered and dialed someone's number. "Hello? Vermouth, the apartment's clean."

Marsala remembered. Gin and Rye have different assignments so Vermouth was tasked to lead this investigation. 

After their call, Marsala drove back to their temporary base. While driving, she asked Vodka. "What do you think is the organization doing?"

"It's been a pain in the ass while searching for that other rat."

"Other rat?" This caught her attention and narrowed her eyes to Vodka, "There's another rat?"

Vodka flinched, obviously it wasn't something they were allowed to share. 

Marsala faked a smile, "It's alright, you can tell me. I've been in the organization more than half of my life. Nobody could be trusted about the secrets of organization more than me."

He agreed and laughed awkwardly, "Y-you're right." He cleared his throat and gave her the information she needed. "Scotch was discovered by Vermouth."

"You mean she was following him around?"

"Yes. It was the first night she followed him and she was lucky. She caught him calling someone inside the telephone booth about how he saved one of his supposed targets."
