Days after days, not even for a second did she stop searching for this 'princess' .
Nothing was making a sound in that room she called her office. Only the traffic outside was working overtime to get rid of the deafening silence, and even that couldn't get her out of her thoughts.
: my lady~?
The blonde haired man said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
:...vanda?
"..."
Vanda looked his way, getting her legs off the table.
"Oh..sorry, didn't notice you there."
:..?
Nikolai walked closer. Crossed his arms, ready to scold her.
:Excuse me? I knocked a good twenty times before getting in here!
: Honestly ,I thought we're finally freed from you.
Nikolai said in a playful tone in an attempt to tease her.
:Are you in love or something? Anyone I need to kill to give you your mind back?
"Heavens no!"
:What's wrong though?
Nikolai sat on her desk, leaning back on his hands comfortably.
:Isn't your one and only friend worthy enough to know what's bothering you?
"Just missions. Nothing new."
:Doesn't seem so, unless there's a literal war happening. Nothing gets to you that easily.
"It's an important mission, there could be someone that's leaking info."
:A secret spy? An agent from the government?
"No…the government got nothing on us, I'm talking.."
She looked around the somewhat dark room to make sure they're all alone. Safe to say his interest was peaked.
"You better keep your mouth shut!"
:you know me darling, i'm as obedient as a dog, as long as it's you of course ...or the boss ..i suppose.
"Good."
"Have you heard anything about a 'princess' recently?"
:hm?
"No?...well.."
"We suspect someone's leaking info to her, she's showed up to most our missions if not all for a while now."
Vanda got up from her seat, walking around the room. Her fingers locked with her hands behind her back.
"Remember the missing jewels?"
:ohh..so that's what happened with the jewels…someone's stealing.
"Not exactly."
:...?
"Boss said she's been dealing with all missions before killing everyone right after. All sooner than any of our people show up."
:a rival organization?
"Maybe…so far we only know of her and her alone. Either way someone must be leaking…there's no way she can get through our security all alone."
:any clues who might it be?
"Nope, none!....but that's not what got me thinking all day."
:then?....What is it?
"He said,right before she showed up…he found some info ….about…well possibly my past."
Nikolai couldn't have looked more shocked.
:for real?!?
He jumped down from the desk.
walked towards her.
:When did he say that?! Why are you telling me NOW ?!!
"Relax, not that much info..just..a missing child..around the same time he found me."
:but..then why-
"This 'princess' started showing up right then.
:so…she's ....a long lost family member?
"Not sure."
:vanda...darling you shouldn't worry too much when you're not even sure yet~
With a sigh of relief ,he was back in his playful mode again.
"I found some stuff about her.. Well, not her but her work.."
:and?
"They could also be the one behind the '13 bodies, one boat' case"
:....how so? That's.. A big one, you know?
"I investigated all the bodies I found from those missions, pictures of them at least."
She stopped walking. Her eyes now focused on the green led lights on the wall, spelling 'we all deserve death' .
"The way they were cut, the same way they were..put together ."
:are you…saying-
"Yes, all organs out.. For the important corpses only though, the ones they..'personally' visited."
:those 13 corpses though…were all..wrapped in their…guts…all were men..with their teeth removed and-
"Yes…yes I know. No need to repeat what I saw and worked on."
:i think..i might throw up..
"...not in my office you won't!"
She grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the room.
:kay, kay. Chill! I won't actually, we've seen a lot already, i was just-
"Let's go eat lunch."
:not after you just reminded me of such gut wrenching scenes no we aren't.
"I'll eat then, you watch."
:..hmph, fine..cheeseburger and cheese fries with some vodka…or any type of
drinks..i'm not picky~
Nikolai crossed his arms, allowing himself to get dragged wherever vanda's taking him.
