Three gunshots missed their targets and now, Chrysthe and Jaleb are in marking position as Vince covers Yve. They all used the car as a shield against the unknown people shooting them down.
"Yve, stay down." Vince said and has received a nod from Yve. He received a gun from Chrysthe.
"Chrysthe, how long till the rest arrives here?"
"Ten more minutes."
"Primo, I already called Secondo and he sent Eybelle ahead as a back-up." Jaleb reported.
"That's good. Then continue counter-firing to avoid Eybelle's detection from their behind." Vince ordered.
This is Yve's first time seeing them in action. Even though they are in a dangerous situation he can't help but notice how handsome Vince look in using a gun.
So many thoughts are lingering in her mind now.
'He's really part of the mafia.'
'Will we get attacked all the time?'
'Do I still have to worry about our safety even after defeating Airis and Amira because of his other job?'
'But I just can't tell him to stop….'
'He accepted me with my faults. I should also do the same.'
'But I am scared!!'
"Yve are you okay? Yve…?" Vince asked noticing that Yve was staring at him. Without any changes from her, Vince became anxious that the lady beside was too afraid to say or move.
"Jaleb, Chrysthe!! Cover for us as we move inside the cemetery. There's something wrong with Yve." Vince ordered.
"Yes, Sir!"
The two men fired at some men on their right side and was able to kill some of them. While the people on the opposite side are shocked, Vince took this chance to carry Yve in a princess style and hid into a mausoleum.
After ensuring that the place is safe, Vince put his gun down near them and shook Yve. This brought them to reality.
"Yve…. Yve…." She heard Vince calling her name.
"Vince…"
"Are you fine?"
"Hmm… I...m okay…"
Vince hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I promise that you would have a beautiful life with me but because of being in the underworld ..."
"But I'm safe. You guys protected me. By the way, how's Jaleb and Chrysthe? They might be …."
She was interrupted when he saw three people standing at the mausoleum's entrance, they were Jaleb, Chrysthe and a young girl. Yve hugged Jaleb and Chrysthe.
"Good thing, both of you were okay."
"Ahmm… Ms. Yve, thank you for worrying about us but why do I felt somehow insulted?" Chrysthe said which caused Yve to release them. She looked from them to Vince and vice versa, waiting for their explanation.
Vince couldn't take it anymore and explained to his confused Queen.
"Yve, they're the best squad I have. Worrying about them is fine as I also do the same, sometimes. But you also have to trust them. Trust in their skills and will-strength that they will successfully pull any mission given to them."
"I understand." Yve looked at Jaleb and Chrysthe and continued, "I do trust you but I don't trust the enemy so you can't stop me from worrying about the two of you." Then she looked at the young girl beside them and said "The same goes for you, little girl. The name is Eybelle, right?"
"...." Eybelle only bowed as an acknowledgement.
"Eybelle, do you also use guns?" Yve asked as she's too curious about the girl in front of her. With her small frame, where could she keep the gun and will she be able to handle the force of the released bullet.
"No. I don't often use guns."
"So what's your weapon?"
"She's our top spy and assassin." Chrysthe eagerly said.
"She instantly wiped out the people from the left side as she sneaked behind them. Nobody noticed her movements. She was just too quick for them as all it took was one knife slash for them to die." Chrysthe continued.
While this information was unexpected for Yve and the word, shock, is an understatement to explain her look, Jaleb pushed Chrysthe's head down.
"What's that for, Jaleb?!" Chrysthe angrily asked.
"Don't speak about violent terms in front of Yve, Chrysthe." Vince ordered.
"Yes, sir." Chrysthe was left to agree but deep inside his mind he was thinking about the words he just uttered.
'Oops, I ranted too much. I forgot that our Lady Boss just learned about our true nature recently.'
Eybelle smiled at Yve's reaction.
'The rest of the gang is right. I would like this lady.'
"Primo, they have arrived at the graveyard." Jaleb said as he received the information from Slayne.
"Okay. But Jaleb, I want you to lead the investigation about the assassination attempt earlier."
"Primo, there's no need for that. Secondo left Slayne in-charge of the investigation." Eybelle said.
"Okay. Then let's go."
With Vince holding Yve's hand tightly, and three members of Team Alpha following them they head out from the mausoleum and walked towards the graveyard where Nyelle's mother is allegedly buried.
