Chapter 61 Something

"It's too difficult to move. They're spying on our every movement. We're afraid that one wrong move and she's gone." He answered.

"But, we're still reaching out for some clues." Coby continued.

"Is that why you're always out at night?" Cassy asked him. He looked away not knowing what to say.

Yeah, they're always out at midnight looking for some clues except Xenon who's guarding the mansion. And yesterday I saw them met with a guy, still inside the campus. But I haven't yet seen that guy in here. However, I saw him in one of the classified students' profiles.

I'm not just out for a run without bringing some information. And yes, sometimes I do follow them. Sometimes I tried searching for the girl but it's not easy. Mr. Baron is too good at hiding her.

The puzzle still has missing pieces that I have to find out.

"Yes," Lucas answered Cassy.

"Okay, that's enough! Let's continue eating!" Zoey cheered while smiling sensing the tension.

This girl wouldn't care about anything. She would prefer to watch or order someone than to act. And this man beside me is too quiet what might he be thinking? And why am I curious!? Tch.

The dinner is done. Cassy and Drena volunteered to clean. I decided to stand up but suddenly I heard a beep coming from Xenon's phone.

"Who is it, bro?" Lucas asked but I ignored it and started walking towards the door of the kitchen.

"It's... Marco." The moment he stated the head's name, I stopped.

I sensed Lucas grabbed his phone and read it. He gasped "He has a mission for us!?" I immediately looked back at them. Coby and Adrian looked at each other while Cassy and Drena gasped. Zoey? well, on her phone again.

"Don't you dare go, it's a trap." Drena seriously said walking near them.

"He stated that it will be the last mission we have and he will hand us Adrian's sister or she will die." Xenon hardly stated.

"He's threatening you on your death. That's absolutely a risk!" Cassy exclaimed angrily.

She's right, if it is the last then he planned it well, danger will be waiting for them.

"We have no choice, Cassandra." Coby stands up looking at her. They're staring at each other's eyes, memorizing it like it might be their last.

"It's dangerous but, what choice do we have? Do nothing?" He continued softly.

"It's much worst tonight..." Lucas stated.

"Why?" I can feel nervous radiating from Drena.

Lucas seems to be hesitant. "What is your mission?" I asked plainly but my voice becomes partly hard.

"It's the... Tarre Mafia." Lucas replied and for the second time today, I looked at Xenon as we stared at each other's eyes but mine held curiosity.

The girls' eyes widen, Coby gasped, Adrian formed his hands in a fist, Xenon is silent and Zoey is now facing us while biting her lips hiding her grin.

"A Tarre, what!?" Cassy exclaimed not believing what she just heard.

"Specifically. A gang working for the Tarre Mafia." Xenon clarified.

What would they be doing related to Tarre? Even if it's just a gang. We screened every strongest who's capable of fighting the dangerous battle before they belong in the family. And every gang working for us belonged to the top 10 strongest gangs in the world.

However, there is one strongest gang that would never be part of it. Every mafia group dreamed of having but they never succeed. The Scorpio Gang...

"Even though. Any Tarre is the worst enemy to battle!" Drena exclaimed in worry.

"We know. They control the underground but we are a group. We can handle it. We will handle it." Adrian is now beside Drena calming her.

And I? Well, it is their mission and I never interrupted others' mission except if it is given to me. So I decided to go out of the house for a walk. I can't breathe normally with his presence.

"Do you know that it is dangerous outside?" Xenon asked, I felt him followed me.

"Do you know that your mission is dangerous?" I asked backtesting him.

"Are you worried for me?" He teased and I looked away while walking. He's beside me following my steps.

He might have sensed my silence means yes. Well, I'm not a liar. But why should I be worried for him!? Usually, I don't care about someone's life.

He stopped "Don't worry. We'll be back alive... I'll be back alive for you..." he said softly which made me halt and looked at him.

"I'm sorry..." I'm sorry I don't know what to say... I'm sorry I caused you pain... I'm sorry I'm still finding myself that I can't face you, yet...

He smiled but not a genuine one "It's fine. I will not give up on you. I'll wait until you accept me one day." He took a step towards me and cupped my face.

"Just please stop avoiding me..." he pleaded and I can see the pain in his blue eyes.

It's too strange... I'm feeling something strange again... I bit my lip, "I'll try..." then I suddenly smile.

"No, you do it. Silly." He said smiling and I gasped.

"Did you just called me silly?" I asked my voice was challenging him.

"Hhmm... I think we need to go back inside." He said smiling as he holds my hand and dragged me inside. He sensed them too.

My actions towards him are kind of strange... I never acted like this and he can see it too. This guy is really something... it seems like we're connected... The tingles I felt when he holds my hand... I therefore conclude, we really have a bond.

It is now night time and the Insigma Fighters already went out for their mission after they said their words.

Xenon and I are sorts of talking a bit and then separated. We can't deny the tension that is still between us. Before they leave, we just stared at each other that only our eyes talked.
