I Loved You Too (Fixing)

Chapter ■ 15| Operation: stealing

"So what is with this client?" I asked the Crocodile as he was at his desk, uniformly checking out the pocketbook he was holding, wearing a grin right to his face as if I could hear some voices spun around his head, praising for his unambiguous idea.

We both got down along with Charmy, right to where we sat across Vector's desk, Charmy flew around us, especially to (y/n) while some glitters spew right below him as if he was a Tinkerbell.

"The goal is simple. We deliver the package that we will get from the client and deliver the item from this address...with a little stealing."

"And what do you mean by that? Who are we dealing with anyway?"

"Well, it was Rough and Tumble..."

"Those maniacs?!"

"Aren't they working for you know... him? what are we stealing for them?" I eyed Vector as the name caught my attention, those wreak havoc...I told Vector to stay away from anyone linked with Starline... A long pause occurred towards the crocodile before he opened his toothed mouth.

"Chaos emerald?..."

"What?!"

I asked in such an alarming tone that caught (y/n) and Charmy to stop midway from playing with each other. With such adrenaline, I grabbed Vector's arm that nearly shoved himself to the ground before I faced him alone in the kitchen with frantic eyes.

"I thought we talked about this Vector!" I retorted again with a low, yet stern voice.
Vector nodded, trying to calm me down but the look on my face kept changing.

"tell me right now about your whole plan," I demanded.

"We're just going to deliver the package, do some stalling a little while someone tries to steal it from the inside."

"and who could possibly be the one to deliver the package? of course, neither of us three can go up to their doorstep since they know us, the Chaotix?" I said, trying to sound calm but still, my voice rose higher than normal.

Vector didn't reply, as the silence covered in till the realization hit my face.

"Alright calm down ca-"

"How am I supposed to calm down?! you're sending (y/n) right to their doorstep? just because they had this disguise?! you are doing this risky, haven't you forgotten what will happen if (y/n) gets caught back to Starline?!" I said with a sudden surge of passion that almost made me jump back.

"I've thought all through this and I know what will happen when they get caught, and I'm not risking anyone's life like that, especially (y/n)."

"you can't be serious?!" I exclaimed. "this is ridiculous! this can't happen, I'm telling you I won't allow it!"

"we're doing this for the sake of us!" Vector uttered. "I accepted this task because the payment is high! enough for us to survive at least another couple of months! and besides, it's not like the client is going to hurt her. we'll be there too if something bad happens!" Vector said, getting up from his seat, and facing me again, his expression was firm.

"Vector, don't take this so lightly. I'm worried here alright. (y/n), I promised not to let her get caught by anyone that will bring her back from being tortured." I looked away from him, trying to find a way out of all this.
