Psychotic lover

Chapter 12

"Who's that" the muscular male questioned, leaning towards the lean girl by his side, typing on her mobile phone.

"Hm? Just a friend" she said shortly, offering a smile before pocketing the device.

"So, you're the guys' that been going around stealing stuff?" Nigel asked, throwing a skeptical glance at the seemingly harmless female.

"Only shiny stuff" she corrected, "what about you mister I-used-to-be-a-drug-dealer" she hummed.

"You should stop shoving your nose into people's businesses, it's gonna get you killed someday" he hummed, not the slightest bit fazed by her remark.

"Yeah well, the sooner the better. By the way, I didn't manage to get your last name, what is it? It certainly wasn't in the database"

"You hacked into our database? Uncle Director's gonna be pissed" he chuckled, mildly impressed.

"No big deal, but back to the topic" she urged.

"I don't see why it's important, but it's-"

"Gracie! Nigel?" An irksome voice called, a questioning tone upon seeing Nigel.

"Asswipe" Gracie curtly greeted, earning a snicker from her supposed mentor.

"Nick, how have you been" Nigel grinned, offering his hand out for a high five which Nick accepted.

"All's well. What're you doing here with lil Gracie?" He asked, glancing at said female.

"Well council meeting just ended, I was assigned as her mentor and we were just about to take a walk around" Nigel summarised the past hour.

"Well no, they were actually against the prospect of you guiding me, and I can see why. It's more like you are my self proclaimed mentor" Gracie inputted.

"Same thing. Anyway, how do you feel about museums?" Nigel questioned Gracie.

"Depends on what kind of museum it is really. Why of all places, are we going to a museum?" She interrogated.

"Let's just say that it's our exit out" he said cryptically.

"I think I know where this is going" she mumbled under her breath, mind brewing with all sorts of possibilities.

"Mind if I join?" Nick probed.

"Most definitely"

"Not at all"

Both Nigel and Gracie had said simultaneously. Upon hearing the opposing's stand, Gracie shot Nigel a frown, whilst Nigel returned the look with one of confusion.

"Why? What'd the geek do?"

"Tranqed me while I was busy fighting the barista" she sighed at her own avoidable mistakes.

"Oh" Nigel began to come to realisation, "that mission you were sent out to, the 'acquire target' mission was for birdie here" he mused.

"Birdie? You gave her a nickname already? Don't you think your getting a little attached?" He mocked the tall male.

"You're just jealous the nickname I gave you's asscrack" he smirked, glancing at the snickering female.

"I think we should go, maybe get some coffee alongside a douse of fresh air"

"Yeah that sounds good, let's go" she grinned, lifting her arms up to stretch until a sharp pain jolted in her shoulder.
