"I'm more than ready! Send me!" Leora's voice boomed loudly in the tiny room.
The man behind the desk looks at her tiredly. He can't bear to send her on the deadly mission. Not again after her.
"You know more than I do, I know him more than anyone, and I can get the chip and save Taylor back safely. You know he has feelings for me, I can take advantage of it." Argue Leora as she walks closer to him puts her hands on the table while glaring at him.
"I just can't. You're my favorite student, even I want to save Taylor more than anything in this world, I'll send somebody else." He says while pinching his temples.
"Please," Leora whispered as she sat down on the chair.
"If you want your girlfriend back, you better use me on the mission." She looks at his photo and Taylor on his desk.
"Fine! Do whatever you want. I'll give you my permission. But you'll be the one contacting the headquarter to be sent on this mission." He says while glaring at her. Finally give up, after 1 year of pleading.
"Aye aye, Captain!" She says excitedly and runs away from the room, scared that he'll change his mind.
She runs back to her table. She remembers for the first time she arrives here, she begs Charlie to train her to be strong. Back then Charlie is one of the members of Taylor's team that save her, now Charlie is a captain from succeeded in the last mission he had done. She feels grateful that he's her mentor. First, they share the same grieving for Taylor and that is what makes them train harder than anyone else. After so much training and a couple of missions for two years, she thinks she's more than ready.
She opens her cabinet and takes a small box hidden inside the cabinet. Inside the box is Matteo's ring, the one that he was given to her in the Galla. She hides the chip that Taylor gives to her inside the ring. She takes Taylor's words seriously, so she doesn't give the chip to anyone ever, even Charlie.
She opens the box and took the ring out. She strokes it with care, wondering how he would be. Even after all things happen, she can't help to catch some feelings for him. Deeply she cares about him, more than she should. Lately, she feels attraction and longing after leaving him. A lot of guys try to catch her attention but it doesn't feel the same as him. Even though he's a dangerous man in the world but he deeply cares for her and he is always gentle with her.
She wears the necklace with his ring as the pendant. Felt the need to use it when she thought that they will meet again. She takes a deep breath and ready herself to go to the headquarter. She just hopes they will allow her to go on this mission. With a lot of courage, she knocks on the door and gets inside.
"Leora. You ask for a special mission is that correct?" The person acknowledges her after she goes inside the room.
"Yes ma'am." She answers confidently and takes a seat.
"There'll be a lot of risks. Our agents never come back whole in this mission. Are you ready for that?"
"Yes, I believe I can succeed in this mission." She says without hesitation believing in her relationship with him.
"Alright. I grant you my permission. But remember the priority is the chip. The second is you come back alive. The last save the agents you found. Are we clear?"
"Crystal clear ma'am."
After a series of procedures, she finally got the mission in her hands. She feels grateful to her God because she knows that it'll be impossible level B agent like her can take an S+ mission. Now just she needs to prepare for her departure.

"Left-wing is clear." Says Eudith from the earpiece.
Eudith and Leora have been partners since their first mission, they click faster than anyone in their group and soon become friends. While Leora will do duty on the field, Eudith will be the man behind the desk. She will guide Leora and help her with all her tech stuff.
"Got it." Report Leora as she soon enters the mansion.
Right now they are on a mission, after checking the condition and spying on Matteo's activity they chose this day to do their action.
Today Matteo will be at the mansion, they got his schedule after Eudith hack some data from his computer. After checking the surveillance to make sure Matteo has already taken his sleeping pills and is asleep, they get on the action.
Leora walks carefully on the left wing. She takes down a few guards that have been standing in a surveillance blind spot. After that she walks to Matteo's room, standing in front of his door with nervousness.
She sneakily comes inside his room and walks to the sleeping Matteo, checking if he's fallen asleep. After making sure he's asleep she walks toward his inner chamber where his office is located.
She accesses his computer and helps Eudith to connect to his computer. While waiting Leora walks around the room, she can't find anything inside the room. The room looks spotless from any important files, with only a few pieces of furniture, and books in the bookcase. All the books are her favorite novel, he saves all her novels from before.
"Done. I got the access." Speak Eudith from her earpiece wakes Leora up from daydreaming about her memories with him.
Leora walks back to his computer and sits behind the desk, watching as a lot of things pop up on the screen as Eudith digs inside the files. One thing catch her eyes, as various data show up fastly on the screen.
"Stop! Open the last seven pictures." She said to Eudith.
"Omg is that Taylor?" Say Eudith from the earpiece as they see the picture of a beaten-up girl even her face cannot be recognized without sharp eyes like Leora.
"Can you trace where the picture is taken?" Leora asks with fury in her voice. She clenches her arms until there are red marks on her nails.
"Sorry I cannot. Almost all data in here are double protected. The only thing we can know the location either makes the programmer who makes the program open it or an easy but deadly way to wake up Matteo to know exactly Taylor's location. Which either of them will be a dumb choice." Blabbing Eudith as Leora wakes from her seat and walks toward Matteo in anger while loading her gun.
"Sh*t! Leora, don't act rashly you foolish girl!" Curse Eudith in her earpiece when she sees Leora starting to wake Matteo up by slapping her gun toward his face
But even before her gun touches his face, with a fast move he awakens and takes the gun from her hands and locked her body under him with her arms being held in one hand by Matteo above her head.
He takes her earpiece from her and throws it on the floor and shoots it with her gun. Making Eudith in the other line cringe with the loud sound.
"Well hello, little one." Says Matteo to her with his smirk.
