          "Olivia? Olivia, please wake up... We're here to take you to a safe place." I felt my shoulders being shaken and I stirred. In front of me stood a man with blonde hair and emerald eyes, he looked around my Father's age.

          "Who are you?" I asked softly but my voice sounded croaky. He passed me a glass of water but I shook my head and cleared my throat. Father always told me, never accept water from a stranger. You never know what they will give you. 

          "Olivia, we're part of an organisation that your parents worked for before. Your parents called us a few days ago, wanting you to be part of our organisation for your safety." He started and I stared at him.

          "For all I know, you could be lying." I stated the fact. He chuckled a little and took out a tablet.

          It was Father! Father spoke, "Olivia honey, you must understand that if you received this video, it means that I should not be there with you anymore... It hurts me to say this but if that ever occurs, you should join 'Protection'. It is an organisation where your Mother and I worked at before we had you. It is dangerous, but it is our best hope to keep you safe. I love you Olive. You'll always be my Olive." I stopped the video and gave the tablet to the guy.

          "For all I know, you could have fraud the video." I crossed my arm and he sighed. 

          "You haven't finish watching the video." He pressed the play button and I heard, "0910" It was our secret code.

          "When are we leaving?" I stood up from the couch.

          "We can leave now." He answered. I nodded my head and he led the way to the car.

          "I'm sorry for your loss. Trust me, we've lost two great people too" He whispered as he closed the car door for me. I kept my face blanked of emotion and he sighed.

          "Wake up!" I opened my eyes and blinked.

          Will was shaking my shoulders. I rolled my eyes, "We've landed?"

          Grace nodded, "Let's get ready. We have school in 2 hours' time." Will groaned and I rolled my eyes again.

          "Quit rolling your eyes, it might get stuck up one day you know... Not good for a pretty girl like you." Will winked.

          "Not interested. We're cousins now. Work stays as work. Life stays as life. Separate the two or you might get cut and hurt." I replied with a blank face.

          "We've known you for four years... Yet, we never see a smile." Grace commented.

          I frown, "You have..."

          "Fake smiles. Never Genuine ones... You should take it easy sometimes..." Will smirked.

          "The genuine ones are you guys... I'm the heartless one. Remember? I thought we agreed with those titles..." I crossed my arms.

          "Cold-hearted... You're not heartless..." Grace corrected. I kept my silence.

          Will opened his mouth but thankfully, the plane's intercom sounded, "Agents, buckle up! We're going to reach the ground in 5."

          Will clutched the handles tightly, his knuckles were white. Grace chuckled.

          "Scared huh?" Grace taunted.
