[third person's pov]
Larissa tucked Aliyah in bed when she heard that the storm was getting heavier. The young lady was already asleep, exhausted because of her sickness. Larissa was so worried to the point that she can't even stay still. She's still bothered that Aya might wake up to throw up or complain because of her stomach. Anyhow, she wants her girl safe. She's been thinking on how to show her love more since she mentioned tonight that she likes proving more rather than telling words.
Her thoughts were interuppted when someone knocked on the door. Quite annoyingly, she carefully unclutched her grip on Aliyah because she might wake her up. She tiptoed on the way to the door and then she tried her best to open it stilly. She opened the door revealing three of her friends waiting. Larissa was quite startled because they look like their old selves.
"Let's talk." Carol says, looking at her sharply.
"Not tonight, Lou." Larissa immediately responded calling Carol using her real name since she's wearing her old style.
"Won't you like to talk about—"
"Aliyah is asleep and I don't want to leave her alone. I don't like her to wake up without me." Strongly, she still declined.
"Larissa, aren't you bothered that Lady Mir built a branch of Sher Diner in your place? The fact that Aliyah has been in there—not just that, surely she was also able to talk to Lady Mir. Don't you want to talk about it?" Carol tried to convince her once again.
"And you know the Chief, Miranda will do everything as long as it's part of her plan." Morticia adds to the discussion.
"Fine, but only an hour."
"Deal."
The four of them went to their investigation room which they used to utilize when they have missions together. All of them are wearing their serious faces since they are all clueless about their boss' plan. They've been looking for Lady Mir, which is the main reason why Carol went to visit Larissa. She's been missing and they had premonitions that their boss was planning for something that they definitely don't know.
"So, what now?" Morticia asked when they were all settled on the couch.
"She's been missing and we know she has plans...that's it. It's there." Carol uttered as she sits down using the other chair infront of them.
"She can't be here. She might see Enid and Yoko, she doesn't know that they work for me for their apprenticeship requirement." Larissa informed them, worried.
