"Agent Bleach to Agent 22, do you copy? Over."
"Loud and clear, Agent Bleach. Over."
"You're sure taking your time to get the bait, 22. My incognito mode cannot last much longer."
"Patience, Bleach. I know how to do my job right. Just take care of the security system and it'll be a piece of cake."

She slowly got off her seat and followed him. All the while she continued to press down on her abdomen. Why do I have to look like my moon time aggressors have come to attack? Cadence blushed in embarrassment.
They went up a long flight of stairs, their unsynced footsteps echoing through the halls. On stopping at the first chamber in the upper hallway, her mouth went ajar as soon as Ronen swung its door open. Sure, Cadence was aware that she was walking in a mansion, but it felt like a mere dream. That was when reality hit her. Her entire living space could fit into that single room. She had never felt more broke in her life.
"The washroom's over here," Ronen snapped her out of her reverie and pointed to a bright room in the corner of the chamber.
Cadence rushed in and slammed the door shut. She tripped over the fluffy cream-coloured mat and nearly plummeted into the toilet bowl but quickly adjusted her footing before she fell. Using her arms to support herself by the sink, she gazed over at the crystal mirror in front of her. Her reflection, a weary reflection that was, stared back at her in distress. Her increased heartbeat rate was succeeded by quick and shallow breaths. Then came the familiar tingling on her head. This time, however, it felt more like pins and needles and the intensity increased with each passing second. Cadence cursed herself for being too polite by eating the bloody colour of a meal. She grabbed her hair and yanked it with a strangled shout.
Ronen ignored her cry of agony. "Who do you think you are, Sasaki? You can't just show up out of nowhere and start taking over my life!"
He waited for a response, and when she didn't reply immediately, he knocked on the door aggressively. "Hey! Answer the question!"
Though Cadence was annoyed and confused by his bickering, she drank a bit of the tap water and felt slightly better. When she went to open the door, her hand had barely touched the doorknob when it crashed right into her face. She winced in pain and took a few steps backwards while rubbing her nose.
"Rude."
"Oh, so now you can talk?" Ronen said as he adjusting the dimmer switch by the wall. Both the bathroom and the bedroom instantly became darker.
"Ronen, what are you doing?"
"I asked you the question, first." He abruptly dived at her with a right hook. "You're here to kick me out, aren't you!?"
Cadence ducked under his fist and slipped past him out of the bathroom. "Are you trying to KILL ME!?"
"Maybe." Ronen spun around and gave her a deadly glare. "My life was perfectly fine before I accidentally got to know of your existence."
He lunged at her and aimed for her waist with a side blow. Cadence's adrenaline took over and enabled her to swiftly grip his arm and redirect his whole body over to the bed that was six feet away.
"Is that all you got!?" he taunted with a relentless grin which kind of scared her.
Is he serious he wants to fight? Cadence asked herself. "Ronen, why are you doing this?"
