"So this is where you're hiding?"

Winter shrugged. "Not really. I am usually at the security office. Willa is there. Say 'hi' to her."

"I'll do that."

Napansin kong nilingon ako ni Winter. "How is Kylo?"

I shrugged. "Alive and well. That means I'm doing my job."

"Okay. I'll pull you out in a week."

Napatingin ako rito. Ipu-pull out na ako nito? Ibig sabihin ba noon...

"Ha! Your reaction is priceless."

I glared at Winter and punched his arm. "F*ck you."

"I knew it. He's getting into you isn't he?"

Humalukipkip ako at iniwas ang tingin dito. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Deny, deny, deny. You know Patch, I think this is the best mission I gave you so far."

"Why do you think that?"

"Because you're starting to feel again."

"Winter-"

"Having emotions doesn't make you weak, Patch. I believe it makes you stronger even."

"I hope you don't mistake my work with feelings. I'm protecting him because that's my job. Not because I love him...or something."

Winter smirked. "I saw what I saw, Patch. I'm not a romantic but I'm not blind too."

"You're becoming cheesy. I hate you. Can we just go and visit Willa?"

He chuckled before leading the way out. We rode in his car and drove to a certain log cabin. It looked like a typical log cabin from the outside but when you come inside, it's all monitors and techie stuff.

In one of the offices labeled as 'Chief of Intel' sat a woman. Her hair was disheveled as if she's so stressed out. Natutulog ba ang babaeng ito?

Sumandal ako sa hamba ng pinto. "Hey, bitch. Want me to give you a comb?"

Nanatili itong nakatingin sa laptop. "So you came."

"I will be more shocked you didn't know I was here."

Tinignan ako nito at inayos nito ang salamin sa mata. She looked like she has been here for days. Willa has always been a simple woman with her hoodie, shirt, jeans, and Chuck Taylors. Hindi mo nga aakalain na head of intel ng isang napakalaking underground security group ito. Parang college student lang.

"It's been a while since we've seen each other."

"I was busy thanks to someone." Tinignan ko ng masama si Winter na katabi ko.

"For a subordinate you are so insolent."

"Fire me."

"You know the grounds for that."

I smirked at him. "You don't want to lose a good agent."

"I don't. So...I just let you call me all the names you want."

Tumikhim si Willa sa amin. "Excuse me? Person working?" Tinuro nito ang sarili.

"Let her breathe will you?" Sabi ko kay Winter.

"You don't know how many trips I offered that she denied. She doesn't want Maldives, Paris, Finland, Australia, or Japan. Nada. Even if I pay her while on vacation, she doesn't want it. Not even an all expense paid trip."
