It's 2 on morning. But I was still woken. Got an insomnia? Haha. That was only an old joke. Well, nope. I did my work in front of my laptop, not because of insomnia.
TIT TIT.
I opened my phone. Oh, yeah. It was a message.
Okay. But I disagree for the bill. I want more.
"Wh-what?" I shocked. It's not his habit to disagree about the payment. He wants more? Crazy. It's enough to get 40% from the whole payment. Moreover it was only an easier task than before that we had to meet.
Crazy you. 45% deal?
I replied. Then a minute, he answered. Got me confused, but a bit free of worry.
Nope. I don't want money. I'll tell u after the mission. Just a simple request, young lady.
I smiled when I read that. Oh God. He always makes fun of me with that called. Young lady. What do he think about my age, huh? Haha, though it should make me fed up, but I like it. I was only 25 years old. Not too different with him—as I guessed he was only 24 or same like me.
Check an email for VPN code, big bro.
I closed my phone. Then fell asleep on my desk a minute later. Prepare for the next delivery order.

It's the next day of tomorrow since I did the last work. And it's ten minutes since I got a message from him. Whoa. And it was made me really afraid. My worry about how did he brought me into his house showed the reality.
I want you.
That's his first message. And it wasn't made me afraid yet. I just laughed it off. A nice joke, bro. I whispered.
But the next message was the point.
You're under arrest, Ann. Go to my home on 20 minutes or the police is going to you.
I got a real confused. Moreover he made a call on my phone, and got me some message on my pager too. Oh, God.
Is it the end of me?
TIN! TIN!
I saw a black limousine with the police sticker parked in front of the fence. Oh, no. I pulled out my breath. Tried to choose the best steps.
Right. Okay, I'm done with my head. I took my risk.
I'm gonna go to him.

Now I stood up in front of his house. Oh, God. It's look different. Like it was the hell. I even couldn't realize that it was a place where I was helped.
"Get in, Ms,"
The officer asked me to come in. I got in the fence. And, oh!
He received me with his smile. The first smile that I saw when I met him for the first time. It was a suck smile, and yes it is. I think it would be always a suck smile.
"This way, Ann,"
He walked in front of me on this corridor. The left side of the door that I passed thorugh when I was going home at that night. Lead me to—err, the introgation room, maybe? I don't know.
"Well, a nice strategy, Noah,"
"Impressed?" said him lightly.
"Yes a bit, officer," I answered with a fed in my head.
"Actually, it's not an arrest of jail for you, sweetheart," Noah turned his head a bit, still on his walk.
I wrinkled my eyebrows. "What?"
"It's just a simple surprise, dear. As I asked you for my payment," He laughed. What? What the hell did he do? I even couldn't understand it anymore.
"I please you to walk in front of me, Mrs."
"What? Mrs? Is not enough to make fun of me from a call 'young lady' huh?" I laughed sarcasm.
"Hm, I don't want to answer that useless question, Mrs. Because I just wanna tell u a story,"
"What a story is it?" I walked off in front of him.
"About you," He answered. I turned my head. Stopped my steps. What the hell was he doing now?
