Spying on the Garden of Love

The Last Straw

" Twilight, even you can see what we have to do. There's no more getting close to Desmond, we take him by force or this entire operation is a bust! I can't give you more time, it seems like you've been preoccupied with something else. Have you got something else going on?"

Loid shook his head," I've got nothing, I've just been finding zero leads. But, there's gotta be a different way to take him then just to break into his house. Even without his hiring more people, and us pushing out every spy against him. He outnumbers all of us 2 to 4, we have only half of who he has. Everybody he hires are all ex-military! Not just that, he has an underground hiding place that we don't even know the location of! We don't even know how many people are down there! There's gotta be a better way, like breaking in quietly and kidnapping him."

" We don't who he has next to him or how many, there is. He used to have not many, but with these reports on TV about government officials being killed; he's more than likely hired better and more bodyguards. For all we know, he's in a room where there's no windows. We have to assault with everything we got, this is why WISE was founded. We either win completely or lose completely, we will fulfill our destined duty. He's the final stretch for us to grant peace between our two countries, we have to go all in." Loid sighed," So, when's the operation going to be a go? Is there even a set date?" " No, we still have to wait for the rest of the handlers to get their spies into Ostania, as you know. Some are in different parts of the world."

Loid saluted and went towards the exit," Hold on, I didn't dismiss you. We still need to talk about Yor." Loid turned back and walked back towards the desk," What is there to talk about?" " Oh I don't know, why the two people we sent to look after her are currently rotting in the ground right now?" Loid whistled nervously," That could just be a coincidence, if Yor went close to the building and they were caught spying in on her. There's not any good solid proof she killed them, especially when we already accused of being the Thorn Queen. She doesn't kill with guns, but with needles."

The Handler leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms," Why are you defending her so adamantly?" " I just don't want to interrogate and torture some innocent women that has nothing to do with anything. We don't really have any concrete evidence against her, the only thing we have are potential coincidences." The Handler let her hands rest on her lap," That's fine, I'm just going to let you know that we're sending an actual crew to watch her. You know, make sure there isn't anymore coincidences." Loid balled up his hands but released them," Why? We really don't need that many people to make sure."

The Handler frowned," I've already said, it's to make sure. Why are so opposed against this? Is it because you know she's the assassin? Because if you know that, you are required to tell us. Or is it because you like her a little too much?" Loid saluted once more and headed towards the door, he exited the room leaving him to ponder his own thoughts.

Loid saw Yor leave work and walked over to her," How was work?" Yor looked over to Loid walking beside her surprised," When did you get here? Were you just waiting for me?" Loid laughed," No, I just got back from my own work and I happened to stumble on you." Yor frowned," Didn't I tell you to take a break?" " Well, you're also not following your own promise. You said that you wouldn't work as hard, and here you are looking like you just came out of microwave." Yor smiled," Well someone has to provide, if I knew you were working I wouldn't had worked so hard." They stopped at the end of the sidewalk, waiting for the go ahead to walk. Loid pretended to be offended," Oh, so you're blaming this on me?"

Yor looked sorry," W..Well I didn't mean it like that! I meant that you should've told me, but I'm glad you worked. Besides working that much is good for me!" Yor started playing with her hair, blushing. Loid patted her on the back," Come on, I'm just messing with you Yor." Loid chuckled, Yor looked and punched him in the arm," You're such a meanie," They started walking and made it in front of their apartment," But, thank you for telling me that. I couldn't keep up with lying about working that much it's not good for me, I'm exhausted." Loid opened the door for them and sat down on the couch.
