"Right now,
I wish you were here with me.
Right now,
everything is new to me."

Miss Cohen, 

I am writing this to inform you that the contract between Ruination and Salvage which was originally created by Mr. James Cohen to end the war between the two deadly gangs, is soon coming to an end. Like all of the other gangs, since we respect and follow the decisions made by Armistice, we'd like you to make the next move as the successor of Armistice. Whether to renew the same contract or to create a new one. On another note, Mr. Benjamin, the leader of Salvage requests you to-

A harsh knock on my office door interrupts me. I look up from the letter in my hands to Chris as he enters the room. I raise my eyebrows at him in question.

"Oh.. I can come back later if you're busy right now.."

"No, just reading a letter from Salvage. Go ahead."

"Anything important? If you don't mind me asking that is.." the hesitation clear in his voice.

"Well, their ceasefire contract thingy is coming to an end with Ruination. So, some shit related to that." He nods in acknowledgement.

"Sometimes I wish father just kept to himself instead of going around and ending wars," I sigh, rubbing my hands over my face.

"Yeah, well then half of the Earth would get destroyed in war," he shrugs.

"Yeah, well at least Armistice wouldn't be threatened and he would be alive right now," I deadpan.

"Fair enough I guess.."

Oh how I wish he was here to at least guide me through all of this shit.

"Well, you came for something?"

"Yeah, there's this partially blonde haired guy who wants to meet you."

"Why are you telling me this? Send him to Tomlinson."

"Because Louis isn't here at the headquarters. Not sure where he is but he said that he won't be back soon so I should send the guy to you.." he trails off.

"And what were his exact words?"

"Uhh 'Considering the fact that he's from Malevolent, send him to Miss. Cohen directly. Not like me being there matters anyway now. Besides I won't be back anytime soon.' Then he hung up."

Oh don't tell me he's still butt-hurt about me meeting Styles...

Seeing me frown at the words he adds,

"Then he called back after a minute and told me to check him thoroughly before sending him in. He doesn't want any danger directed to you... also, if something happens he's probably going to shove is gun up my ass and shoot."

That does sound like something Louis would do. That overprotective loveable little piece of shit..

I chuckle lightly and nod. "Well did you find anything suspicious about the blonde you mentioned? Don't want a gun up your ass, do you now?"

"No, definitely not.. jeez," shuddering at the thought. "Just that he has a thick accent and looks fine to me. Other than that, you can see for yourself," he shrugs.

"Send him in."

Chris nods and leaves the room. I shake my head and put the letter I was holding in the drawer. I take a deep breath and mentally prepare myself for what's to come. I'm not in a mood of dealing with some asshole today.
