Chapter IX

The next day, everyone met together for breakfast as usual. Theo got up early and prepared the food that was already on the table. This time he served a breakfast burrito. The girls, however, had just got up and were still semi-conscious.

"What's the plan for today?" Camille asked, looking at the man.

"There's no plan." He replied briefly.

"How come?" She kept asking, surprised.

"So far we have only problems. Everyone already knows that you will not sit idly by. Besides, we don't even have a reason to go anywhere." He explained, and Camille just sighed in disappointment.

"Oh, I didn't tell you." Vivienne suddenly joined the conversation and looked at Theo. "When I was helping Ciel yesterday, I found a file with our photos and a report about us. There was also something about our memory, but Ciel took it right away. That's why we can go to Silver Corporation and steal it." She suggested.

"Hmm... it's not that stupid." The man began. "But I'll go there alone."

"Why?" Camille asked.

"Because first of all, it's dangerous. Secondly, yesterday you showed off enough of what you can do."

"Well, yes, because you would do everything right in a place like this." Vivienne began, slightly outraged. "I don't know if you've noticed the difference, but all the time when you go on your missions, you just stay a safe distance from the corporation's HQ. Meanwhile, you sent us to a party inside of one of them. Not to mention, that all the other corporations were there, including the one I'm being chased by. You talk so much about the dangers we must avoid, but you're the one who exposed us to the greatest danger."

There was silence after Vivienne's words. Even Camille didn't reprimand her friend this time. It seemed like she agreed with what she said. Theo didn't know what to say either. He didn't want to tell the girls what was the reason he couldn't show up at the party. He also didn't want to expose them to another danger, especially since they had no reason to go there now.

"I understand your frustration..." The man began. "But I had my reasons why I couldn't show up at the party. Therefore, now that I can go somewhere and know that I can handle it alone, I prefer to do it myself so that you can stay at home where it is safe."

"Well, I don't know if it's that safe here." Camille replied. "Silver corporation still knows our address. They've been here once before, so we're not sure if they won't show up again."

Just like Camille said, it happened. For a moment she thought that she had some magical powers or could predict the future, but she quickly recovered and realized that it was pure coincidence. The inevitable happened - they came here.

"You've got to be kidding..." she said dumbfounded, when Theo, who was leaving the house, announced that members of the Silver Corporation were standing at the door.

"Did you have to say it Cam...?" Vivienne added, sighing and looking away at Theo. "So what do we do now?"

"I'll take care of them. There seem to be few of them."

"Yeah? What if there are also people on the other side of the house and while you're fighting them here, the rest of them will attack us?" Camille asked.

"Here." He replied, handing her his gun. "Go upstairs and hide. You are to use it only in case of danger."

After these words, the girls ran upstairs in the blink of an eye, where they both hid behind the bed in Vivienne's room.

Meanwhile, Theo opened the door and went outside. He quickly looked around his surroundings to estimate the number of enemies and then come up with a battle plan.
