Reluctantly, the two of you have to put the rest of your date on hold for a while. After getting your check from the waitress and paying for your food, you and Loona start driving back to the I.M.P. building.

As much as you would've loved your date with Loona to continue, things are clearly pretty serious with the whole Shane and Valentino situation.

You remember that earlier, Millie said that the client's voice didn't sound like Valentino's over the phone. But with the way everything seems to be connecting together, you can't realistically see the client being anyone else.

Unless... the client is a henchman of sorts, and his supposed "boss" is actually Valentino?

Val wouldn't have a boss himself, right? He'd definitely be the one in charge of his own nightclubs, so this makes a bit more sense to you.

Unfortunately, you have literally no evidence to prove that either scenario is correct. This is all entirely speculation, on your part.

God. This whole thing is hard to wrap your head around.

Maybe it would be better if you just took Shane back to the human world, and forget about all this bullshi-

"Hey. Are you okay, babe?" you hear Loona ask.

You take your eyes off the road for a moment and look back at her. "Honestly? Not really."

She softly smiles, and places her hand on your shoulder to give you support. "I'm here for you. What's the problem?"

"It's just... this whole 'Valentino' thing." you reply. "I've never even met the guy, and suddenly I've got myself sucked into working for him."

"But you're not working for him, (Y/N)." she assures you. "Millie didn't call the client back yet, so technically, we haven't even accepted the job!"

"But we're still holding his target hostage, so either way we've gotten ourselves involved in all this shit." you mutter.

"True, but the client wanted us to kill him, not capture him. And Shane's still alive and well!"

She gives you a soft peck on the cheek before saying "Everything will be okay, hon."

The fact that Loona can be so angry and confrontational to some people, but so kind and comforting to you kind of blows your mind.

You smile back at her. "Thanks, Loona. It's just that... I really didn't think there would be so much 'back and forth' with this job."

You pause for a moment to properly gather your thoughts. "I figured working for I.M.P. would be just 'Go here, kill this person, and get paid'. None of this 'snooping around and getting information' crap."

"Honestly, it's usually like that. We're hired to take care of someone, and we do it. That's it. I guess Dad just noticed how concerned we were about this job, so he wanted to investigate."

You chuckle. "So, I guess I just got 'lucky' with this one..."

She laughs along with you and says. "But hey, at least your first mission will be a memorable one!"

"For better or worse..." you sarcastically mutter.

When you and Loona make it back to the I.M.P. building, you can immediately see Millie standing just outside the front door, waving you over.

"Guys, where have you been!? Shane hasn't said a word since he woke up!" she exclaims.

"We were just taking a lunch break." you reply. "Didn't think he'd wake back up so quickly!"

Millie walks through the front door, and you follow her inside, making sure to hold the door open for your girlfriend behind you.
