CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: A LIGHT SUPPER
---
You and Five still had your foot pressing against Lila's throat causing her to let out a loudly grunt while gasping.
"You two got a good nose" The Handler said "You know, planting her in psych ward" Five said as he glanced at her before looking back at Lila "Taking advantage of our simpleton brother, that was smart" you said.
"Well, the apple don't fall far from the tree" The Handler said and the two of you to turn to her, furrowing your brows as you tilted your heads while Lila was choking softly.
"She's your---" "Daughter" The Handler said as you and Five pointed on Lila "Yes. And she's my only one, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't crush her windpipe" The Handler said as Lila was gasping while grunting.
You and Five glanced at each other and you sent each other a nod.
You both press your foot more against Lila's throat before removing it and Lila gasped for air before she started panting as she got to her feet.
When she had catch her breath again, she took a step closer to you and Five "I am so going to enjoy killing you two someday" she said "Like you could get the chance" you said while you and Five stared calmly at her.
"Lila, darling, would you give us a minute, please?" The Handler asked "Yes, the grown-ups need to talk" Five said with a fake smile and Lila turned to The Handler who nodded.
Lila rolled her eyes before she walked to the other end of the room, pushing something off a table causing it to fall to the floor with a loud clatter before she sat down by a table.
"What is it you want?" you asked as you and Five was standing next to each other.
"Do you two like jazz?" The Handler asked "I'd rather lick a cheese grater" Five answered "Aww" The Handler said as she smiled at him before she started walking around you and Five.
"Jazz is like a beautiful woman" The Handler said as she walked towards one of the tables behind the two causing them both to turn around "Complex, emotional, hard to please. She doesn't just give it to you...she makes you work for it" she said as she walked around the table "Just like you Y/n" she looked at you.
"Y/n is not like that" Five said and you glanced at him with a smile "And I'm really hoping that you're going somewhere with this" he said as he glanced at The Handler.
"Under my leadership, The Commission would sound more like..." The Handler said as she put her arms out while she took a step towards you and Five "...Jazz" she whispered before she started mimics soft jazz rhythm while tapping her foot on the floor.
"And what about the board of directors?" you asked as Five tilted his head "Well, that's where you two come in" The Handler said and poked Five's nose before stepping back "Nope. No, it isn't" you and Five said calm while shaking your heads.
