"Ok now I don't think your sane anymore" I replied, a little more disgusted. "I'm not going to seduce a random guy. Why would I anyways?"

Kye sighed again, as if to say "I knew you would deny."

"He's the most vulnerable in base 01." Kye insisted calmly.

"Basically he's a man whore and you could use me to your advantage" I forcefully cut in."Well count me out. Im going back home"

I started walking towards the door, already reaching the door handle, but then I stopped.

I couldn't help but think about Felix's circumstance in a time like this.

From what I heard over the phone, things were already serious as it is.

"Wait" I said, making Kye and the others look at me with lack of faith. "What's in it for me" I continued, arm dropping from the door handle and to my side.

"What are you asking for Regan?" Kye said impatiently.

"Money"

"Money?" Kye rasped disappointingly "So typical."

I looked down feeling a bit selfish. Was I really doing this for the right reasons?

Who am I kidding, I'm trying to save a persons life. There's nothing wrong in that.

"Don't think so low of me" I answered back.

"If it's money that you want, then I'll give you. As long as you do the work properly." Kye stated.

He tapped the table with his fingers looking deeply concentrated in thought.

"Just be by the restaurant down Rosher Lane at 8:00pm tomorrow" he finally said, getting his words out. "Oh and Regan?"

I looked back to find him staring at me keenly.

"Dress yourself up"

I nodded shyly before exiting the DOJ.

I never quite learned what It meant but i wasn't going to ask. I just wanted to go home and sleep as it was already 7pm.

Jay exited the DOJ as well meeting up with me in the process.

"Regan do you know how to get home?" He said scratching the back of his head.

I looked up from my phone of which i was texting Lucy and smiled.

"Yeah thanks for being the only one to care about my well being" I chuckled in a low sigh.

"How about I drive you home?" He said now being more confident.

I looked around my surroundings feeling hesitant but I quickly answered "ok" .

I got into the car with him, humming a soft tune to myself peacefully.

I was so tired that I was too dazed to concentrate to anything he was saying.

"Regan?" He asked while looking forward.
"REGAN!"

I jumped a bit and stared at him in confusion.

"WHAT!" I said in slight shock and in high adrenaline.

"You didn't listen to a word I said did you?" He sighed shaking his head.
"What song are you humming?" He continued to ask.

I looked at my fingers in thought. I started to open my mouth to say something but I ended up changing the way I worded my sentence.
