As soon as Leora got back to their room, she opens the computer to check on the chip. She makes sure no one is around and looking at her.

Unbeknownst to her, Matteo is watching her every move on the surveillance cameras. She's so easy to read on. While they are talking about the chip, she unconsciously touches the ring he gives her. He knows for sure that she hides it in that thing..

Sometimes he wonders how can she become an agent when she's so gullible and easy to read. If he doesn't help her when she was on the mission, she won't even survive on the first mission.

As he guesses she opens the ring and takes the chips from inside the ring eye. As soon as she opens the file there are lots of files that she didn't understand.

It has specific data about lots of people, even though there are lots of pictures inside of them. She can't even dare to look at the inside of it. All of them will taint her not-so-innocent eyes.

Some of them are sexual, and some of them are gruesome. She can see some familiar faces, from the agency and from the famous politicians that she sees on the television.

Her mouth is hanging open, as she continues to scroll through the file. There are too many of them, hundreds even thousands of files, that she is sure that she can't even see all of them.

Some of them are too gruesome to look at, making her want to puke all her meal. She can't even look at it anymore. There is a photo that contains some humans and organ trafficking, and some dirty deeds that the politicians do. What shocked her is there are some names of the president even princes and kings from all over the country.

No wonder Matteo is the scariest person in the whole world, that because he keeps all of the dark secrets every country has. Her agency seems to just want to bury these pieces of information and never uncover them, that's why they ask her to make the chips the most prioritized thing in her mission. Even this mission is the highest mission that had been there for almost 5 years.

She turns the computer off in hurry and put the chip inside the ring again. She covers her face with her hands, trying to get the picture out of her mind. But every scary pictures that she sees always have a way to creep in her mind.

She doesn't know what to anymore. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels lost and helpless. The only things she can do right now is praying. Pray to her Father in Heaven for some answer. She want pray about what is right thing to do. She still can't believe what she saw.

A lot of people that she thinks is righteous person, turns out to be a bad people. It is to scary to believe. She still want to believe that there is kindness in this world, but facts told the other way.

Leora runs to the bathroom and pray like she always do. She cries her eyes out, telling her God what she saw today. She feels sorry for the victims that she saw. She can't even imagine what hard things they experience to be a victim like that.

Sometimes she can feels hurt that God let the victims to experience that and let the bad guys to do the bad things. But she realizes that God is always in control. God never force someone to do something that He wants. He just use someone that is willing to do what He is planning.

She can't even blame the bad guys, because she knows that they are blinded by greed and selfishness. If they know the Bible and God's words, they won't do what they did.

She cries in grief because of the broken world that she lives in. God never create world in the first place so that human can suffer like this. God's wants earth to be like heaven. Full of piece, happiness, and righteousness.

She prays for what she can do as God's child. She knows she must do something. As soon as she thinks like that, God gives her some understanding. The reason of all this can happen, start from the kidnapping, even when she knows this information, is for helping Matteo to help this corrupt world. Making all the corrupt people that have a position to be stepped down or making a right choice, for the better for people around the world. 

After pray, she knows what to do. She get out from the bathroom and find Mateo sit infront of the computer. Their eyes meet. He already looking at her since she get out from the bathroom.

"Come here." He tells her softly and open his arms widely.

Hearing his soft voices, Leora can't hold her tears and run into his arms. Her logic doesn't function correctly at this time. She just needs some comfort. She needs a big warm and and some rest from this cruel world.

Matteo looking at the crying girl in his arms, and sighing slowly. He knows this will happen. His soft hearted girl can't bear to see the cruel and darkest part of the world. He even questions himself, if it the right choice to let her takes part in his plan. He can think of this in other times, right now he needs to calm his girl.

"You'll look ugly if you continue crying like this." Whispers Matteo in her ear. His words makes Leora giggling in between her sobbing.

"Your skill.. hic... is worsening... hic... in consoling people." She hiccups after her crying episode.

"Well you better not crying anymore then." He says and wiping her tears from her cheeks. She smiles warmly at his expression.

"You won't ask why I cry?" She asks.

"Well I don't want to makes you crying out your eyes even more. You'll be more uglier than before." He says in teasing tone.

"I bet that's not the reason." She says in distrustful tone.

"I guess you already know the reason why I cry." She said surely in her statements.

"So what's your plan regarding the chip?" Leora asks in serious tone. The face of innocence and fragile girl before is gone, replace by serious and hard face.

"You already find out what is inside the chip." Matteo state for himself and sighing.

"So what are you going to do right now?" Ask Mateo.

Looking at his serious face, Leora decided to give the chip to him. After all Leora herself doesn't know what to do with that crazy important information. She took of her necklace and put the ring into his hand.

"The chip is inside." She tell him.

Matteo take of the ring eye, the symbol of Sicily mafia, and take the chip. He put back the ring eye and put the ring inside the necklace and put on the necklace on her neck.

"Never take it of." He command. Leora plays with the ring and nodding her head.

"So what is your plan with the chip?" Leora asks.
