"Yes?"

"General Suwan, this is Earth Pirapat," Earth was sitting next to the pool, Edin playing next to him.

"Earth, how is it going? How's the mission?" A cheerful voice of general Suwan sounded through the phone.

General Suwan always liked Earth a tiny bit more than his other agents. According to his own words: "I like you, Earth boy. Your work ethic is just immaculate! I admire that." And after that night in the Insanity Nightclub when Earth was just doing his job and happened to also save the life of general Suwan's daughter, he was basically considered as a part of the Suwan's family.

Not that Earth ever tried to use the favouritism to his advantage until now. And even this time, it was actually general Suwan who insisted on it that time two years ago.

After Earth saved his daughter, general Suwan called him to his office. He thanked Earth at least ten times, and among all that thanking was also an offer. Or more like, "I insist on it Earth, I insist on it," kind of offer.

"Ask for anything you want, Earth. That's the least I can do for you for saving my precious flower."

At that time, however, Earth didn't have anything, in particular, he yearned for, so he kept his wish for later.

Two years went by and Earth was ready to collect his wish.

"Thank you, sir. The mission is...well, it could be better, but it's nothing I can't handle."

The general laughed, "of course, Earth, you can do anything. So what can I do for you?"

"Actually, I'm calling to collect my wish."

"Your wish. Yes, yes, anything. What's your wish Earth?" General's voice turned serious. This matter was very important and personal to him.

"It actually has something to do with the mission," Earth stood up and started walking back and forth around the pool.

"Uhmm, go on."

"After my mission is over, I want the Midnight Race to be reclassified as legal. Both the actual race and the club." Earth ran his hand through his hair, now staying at one place, holding his breath, waiting for general Suwan to say something.

"This has something to do with that boyfriend of yours, doesn't it?"

"Yes, sir, I can't possibly date a boss of an illegal gang and still be a secret agent," Earth chuckled. He was nervous. He tried to play it off, calming himself by general's own words, 'ask for anything, anything, Earth,' but wasn't that too much of anything? If the general won't agree...it will be hard to leave his job, but nowhere near as hard as it would be to leave Mix. And Earth definitely wasn't about to do that.
