"There's a mission." Larissa said seriously as she figured out. They did not respond, they are just waiting for her to process everything that's happening. Although Larissa knows that it could be a hard time helping them because she haven't got her badge back yet. She is still not accomplishing her first task.

Carol took a heavy sigh, "Lady Mir is missing."

"What?!"

"We can't find her. She's been missing for days. We think she's up to something. However, we're pretty sure that she is safe. I mean, she's always like this, right? After being lost, she'll come back with a big and good news. So, we'll just have to wait then. Nothing to worry about, Riri, since this is not the real deal. We still have other things to talk about—"

"Larissa?" they heard Aliyah calling from inside the room making them stop from talking.

"Quick! Hide!" Larissa whispered-scream.

Morticia and Abby panicked so they immediately ran to hide. Morticia and Abby hid on a big flower base. Larissa gave Carol a death stare since she wasn't leaving her position.

"What? She doesn't know me. Not a problem."  Carol crossed her arm.

"Then what will I say if she asked who you are—" Larissa was cut off when Aliyah opened the door.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Aya apologized when she saw Carol.

Carol forced a grin.

"I'm gonna go back." she said while pointing at her room. She was waiting for a response from Larissa since she was cluelessly thinking about the unfamiliar woman who's talking to her woman.

"Aliyah..." Finally, Larissa called her.

"Yeah?"

"Call me if you need me. I'll be back in my office."

Aliyah tried her best to smile, "Okay." she said before going back inside.

Larissa took a heavy sigh after that. Morticia and Abby tiptoed towards them and Carol was just looking at them poker faced. They never really want to hide from Aliyah but they just had the urge to. Aliyah was already aware that the three of them are friends.

"She's beautiful." Carol told her.

Larissa nodded before saying "Let's go."

They walked together to go in her office. They were marching together side to side like they used to when they were still young.

"I told you, ladies, they had sex." Carol uttered once again, obviously that she cannot get over about it.

"Usually—we usually..." Larissa murmured.

"I'm gonna cry!" Morticia reacted as a jest.

"I knew. I was wearing my headphones the whole night." Abby rolled her eyes. "Quite loud." she complained annoyingly.

"She told me that I moan loud like a washing machine."

"Looking at you, maybe I'd agree." Morticia said while chuckling.

Carol and Larissa continued walking while Morticia quickly held Abby's arm making them move slow.

"What?" Abby asked irritated.

"What's your tone with Riri? You sound pique." Morticia asked; it's an evident that she is concerned. "I heard your relationship with Aliyah has been growing. Just make sure to not step out the line, Abby. You're the most smartest among all of us. I hope you still remember the theory of deception." she said gravely before leaving her as she followed Larissa and Carol.
