My Retribution

Part 21

Freens POV
I haven't slept well thinking of Becky. I checked my phone to see if she replied but she did not. "Probably she's still asleep" I woke up and continued my routine. I went to my training took a bath and went down for breakfast.

Since I need a distraction from thinking about Becca I read the files Kirk gave me and summarized all the injuries of the deceased victims and all the horrible experiences they encountered with Richie and put them on my notes.

Kirk: (smiling) Good morning, Partner.

I raised my hand at him as a response and continued writing.

Kirk: (pouting) I'm so bored at home, Partner. Please let me send you to school. I want to get out of here.

Freen: (serious) No. Yesterday the drive was too much for you. Stay here and recover. We have a mission to do in a few days now. I need you there.

I remembered yesterday and I felt a heart ache as soon as I thought of Becky. I quickly ate my food and left. I drove as fast as I could to school hoping to see Becky.

I went to my classroom and looked at Becky's chair. I was sad to see that Becky's not there yet.

Jim: (sneaked into Freens back) We're the first one here. It's still early

I was startled and I saw Jim laughing at me.

Freen: (cold voice) I know. I'm just excited to see her.

Jim looked at me teasingly while pushing me a little.

Jim: (smiling) her? You mean Becky? You missed Becky?

I looked at her with a blank face and left her to sit on my chair. Jim made a pout  and she went to her seat as well since she knew I'm not going to answer her question. But that didn't stop her from being talkative.

Jim: (laughing) I never imagined that a tiny girl would make you obey. Me and the gang are speechless.

Freen: (confused) what do you mean?

Jim: (imitating Becky pointing finger) She just did that and you came to her like a scared little puppy. You didn't even think twice. Wow, the lionnes has been tamed. It was a rare thing to witness.We were all shocked. We can't even command you to switch places, or just stand up but Becky. Wow. (while clapping her hands) She's the only woman who can do that. She's the only one who can control you.

I just looked at her with a blank face and rolled my eyes. I ignored her teasing me because I feel sleepy. "What if she comes, how will I know. I'll wait for her, I want to see her."

A few minutes have passed and students started coming in. The gang was completed and they kept on teasing about what happened yesterday especially the pointing finger. They even made a dance move about it. "Luckily this guys are tools that i need or else I won't be able to tolerate their craziness"

They can't seem to move on from what happened yesterday but I always give them a poker face and I didn't bother to react. I just kept on thinking about Rebecca "How is she? Why didn't she respond to my messages yet. Why didn't she attend school? Is she sick? She told me she's hurting but I didn't do anything.". The class is over and yet I did not see Rebecca. "School feels different without her. It feels empty and sad. It's unbearable"

Kirk POV
Since I've got nothing to do. I found myself waiting for Freen again. "Even if I had something to do. I always look forward to seeing her". Looking at her made my day better. I waited at the door and I saw her get out of her car. She looked the same yesterday, defeated like someone beat her up.

Kirk: (worried) Did you have a fight?

She just looked at me blankly and went to her room. I'm used to it when she's ignoring me but this time, I'm hurt to see her like that. I'll just let her rest for now.

I saw Mr. Rey leaves the office so I approach Freen. She's gloomy today so I need to be more cheerful.

Kirk: (smiling) Partner, the spy is here. She's waiting downstairs.

Freen nod at me with a poker face. I touched her waist to comfort her since I can see the sadness in her eyes. We went downstairs to meet our spy.

Kirk: (smiling) Freen this is Lux. Lux this is Lady Boss.

Lux bowed at us respectfully and smiled.

Freen: (cold voice) You look good for a call girl.

Lux: (offended) Lady Boss, with all due respect I'm not a call girl, I'm a bartender.

I saw Freen chinned up and pointed at the living room telling her to go there.

LAX POV
This is the first time I have had contact with Lady Boss. I'm nervous. I saw Kirk going down the stairs with a woman and he was holding her waist. "Wow, they look good together. Are they couples? Too bad I like the woman with hazel eyes. She must be Lady Boss."

I'm pissed that she thinks I'm a call girl. We were sitting here on their sofa and I saw her sit gracefully in front of me.

Freen: I want to know all about Richie. What he likes, what he hates, Everything.

"Wow. she's straight to business. She didn't even apologize for offending me"

Lax: (clears throat) Richie is a regular. He loves staying on the second floor to look at everyone. Mostly he approaches women. Women who are stunning. He will charm the girl by putting her in a VIP room. She lets her drink the most expensive wine or liquor depending on the woman's taste or wants.

Freen: Do they leave the bar together?

Lax: Nope. But the weird thing is he will leave a big tip and order his favorite drink. Not the woman's favorite drink but his drink. He told us to give it to the woman he's been drinking with.

Freen: Does the woman drink this liquor?

Lax: I don't know, but they don't drink that alcohol inside the bar. A few hours after Richie leaves the bar. The woman goes out happily holding the drink untouched. I don't know what happens after that.

Freen: Ok. Help me seduce Richie. You know his taste to women.

Lax: (shocked) But Lady Boss. You're an honorable person. Richie won't do that to you. Your high profile for him.

Freen: I know. I just need to trigger him. So how can I seduce him?

"Does she know that she doesn't need to do anything to seduce Richie? Her appearance is enough, no her presence is enough.

Lax: What do you want to learn?

Freen: Everything.

I first explained to her the bar's location and layout. Where the CCTV is located, the safest place to run to just in case she felt unsafe. "I saw her listen to everything I say and she's so focused that it's intimidating." I also explained that if he wants to get Richie's attention she needs to wear a revealing dress, high heels and drink a lot of alcohol.

Upon saying the alcohol he raised her left eyebrow.

Freen: No alcohol. I don't drink alcohol. Just give me something that is non alcoholic, or give me something that is non alcoholic disguised as real alcohol.

"Based on her statement she doesn't drink alcohol. She doesn't know how to have fun no wonder she's called the ice princess."

I bowed and nod at her as a response.

Freen: I'll call you when I need you.

"Urghh. Why the hell did she say that. She called me a call girl because she's treating me like one. You only say those phrases to call girl Lady Boss. I'm not one of them"

Despite being offended I bowed at her respectfully and went home.
