Papers were spread all over the table, as well as an open laptop. The cup of hot chocolate was resting beside this mess (still doesn't like coffee).

I a quite house, Anya was finishing her spy work...well...not really.

"ugh why is this so difficult!?" she thought in frustration. "I just needed to find intel on our target, but papers and the internet aren't enough!"

She sighed in agony.

"I am going to get you back handler... Man this target is so private. There is nothing on the internet about him"

She was caught off guard by a loud clatter of objects.
She stopped what she was doing and immediately rushed to the scene.

In the kitchen, Levi had committed a crime. He had poured an entire box of pasta on the floor.

She stared at the mess with no hope of what will become of her.
Then she stared at her son's chubby cheeks and hazle eyes.

"you're lucky you are cute..."

She picked him up and put him in his play area, while she worked away cleaning the mess.

She tried to turn on the vacuum, but she saw it was blocked with one of Levi's toys.

She turned over to look at him, but he just averted his gaze.

"devil baby..." she mumbled. "you are a smart one aren't you... Blocking the vacuum so I won't be able to clean the mess... Well tough luck buddy because we have an old one in the attic, and it works just fine"

She went to the attic to get the vacuum, cleaned up and put it away once again. While she was up there she found something that caught her eye. Something shiny in a box.
She went to look to find her old uniform.

"ehh~ it's my old uniform!" she couldn't contain her excitement.

"I thought I left it back home when I was moving... I could save it for Haru, but I know a friend of mine who's teenager is in need of a uniform...shd needs it more than we do! I just have to wash it and it will be as good as new!"

She went down stairs and put it in the washing machine with the most gentle setting.

She went back to work as it was on.
----

An hour later, Anya was able to find a hefty amount of intel of her target.

"at last! I am done!... Now I just have my real life job's...work..."

She looked beside her laptop to find a mighty stack of papers.

"I need a break..."

She checked the time in defeat.

"I guess it is about time to start on the stew...."

She got up and went into the kitchen.

" a pinch of this.... A little of that... And some of this"

She shook the bottle to find it had been emptied.

"done already?!"

She threw it away and reached for the drawer.

----

A few hours later, she was finally done with the work, collapsing on the couch.

"at last!"

She looked over and found that Levi was passed out cold.

She sighed and picked up.

Up the stairs, around the corner, she made it to her son's bedroom gently placing him in his crib.

She was left with her thoughts once again.

"I wonder what else is in the attic..."

She made her way through the things and found a familiar note.

"why did I keep thi- OH! It's the note from when the bus was hijacked!"

She was reminded of the eventful day.

"I remember when I wrote it as a 'code' "

She laughed a bit and moved on to another box.

She later found her old stuffed penguin.

"penguin!"

It was sort of beat up and the sewed areas were falling apart.

"it looks even worse than when bond scratched the life out of it..."

Through the clutter she found an album of pictures.

"the old album!"

Flipping through the pages she saw old family photos and photos of her and Becky.

She couldn't help but smile a bit.

Looking at her wrist watch she noticed it was about time she picked up Haru.

----

When she got there, she was greeted by a teacher.

"excuse me.... Are you Mrs. Desmond"

"Y-yes, what happend?"

"well, your daughter got into a little disagreement with one of her classmates..."

"What do you mean?!"

They led her to a room where she saw a bandage on Haru's face.

"Haru! What happened to your cheek?"

"He happened!"

She pointed to a boy with red hair.

It was Liam... The target's son.

He too had a bandage on his knee.

"would you care to explain?" Anya said.

"He was making fun of a classmate, so I pushed him a little too hard which made his knee bleed and then later in lunch he slapped me for defending someone..."

Haru was visibley upset.

The teacher walked up to Anya.

"unfortunately, Haru is getting a week's worth of detention... We are not giving her a tontrius bolt for doing the right thing.. And as for him... well, he is getting the same punishment and we are going to discuss the matter with his parents..."

Anya looked at the kid, then to Haru, then to the kid, then to Haru..

" deserved" Anya thought.

"Let's just go back to the car... " she said.

There was utter silence walking to the car, the only thing heard was the Levi's pushchair and the sound of their own breathing.

Later that day~

"I am home!" Damian yelled out.

"welcome back papa!"

"hey! How are you!" he said beaming at his daughter

"good"

"that good to hear... Um-one question why is there a bandage on your face?"

"oh, I just got into a fight at school..."

"oh, OK....WAIT- WHAT!!!"

*Damian couldn't eat that day because if extreme deja vu...

Hi... Sorry about not posting for so long...

Um- here is the thing, I like to do digital art, and I have been focusing a lot on getting better in it and maybe I might put some of my fanart in my stories. I have been jumping between hobbies which put off this chapter by a lot.

Thank you for being patient and sorry for the late update...
