Catch me if you can

chapter 62

Martina

*Finally, the end of a day full of work. I can go home now. I walked along the square and looked in some showcases at pretty clothes.*

M: Oh, this is nice.

*I stopped and stared at the shirt. As my sight lowered down from the product, my eyes spotted something strange. Someone was behind me. Not directly, but sitting on the bench on the other side, staring at me. No, I must be paranoid. I turned away and continued my way home. Still, I couldn't get rid of that feeling. I feel someone's eyes on me. I turned around but saw nobody. Except a person leaning on the tree. Is it the same one as a few minutes ago? Yes. Yes it is. Come on Martina. I kept on walking and turned around the corner quickly. I watched the person crossing the road and trying to find me... when they were close enough I jumped on their back and took them down. The person was in shock, which was enough for me to uncover the face. To my surprise, it was a girl.*

M: Who are you?

??: Could you get off me first please?

M: Who will guarantee me that you won't run?

??: I think I won't. My head is still hurting since you slammed me on the ground.

*I got off her slowly and helped her get up. The street lamp was shining on her face now, but I still couldn't see her whole face.*

M: So, who are you?

??: I am your babysitter. Yay.

M: What?

??: Seems like you aren't as good as the boss thought. The felon is still having fun out there.

M: The- he sent you to look after me?

??: Yup. So you won't "play around like a child and do your job"

M: This mission is just different. Jorge is scheming. I am the best agent in here, doing this since I was seventeen. Why would they send someone weaker than me to be my nanny?

*The girl's anger crossed the limit as she twisted my arms so quickly it made me fall. Wow, she might be quite strong. Her hood fell off and I saw her full face.*
