Reckso had a huge grin on his face as if he was proud that he had been captured, as if he was a soldier who was glad to finally be home after a long war. Mat couldn't help but watch the cynical expression he had on his face and it seriously was pissing him off very much.
Feeling annoyed, he gave Reckso a subtle push and smiled like a little kid.
Reckso hid a sarcastic grin and it pissed Mat off even more.
"I know why I'm here. You want me to answer your silly little questions"
Mat rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I want you to answer my questions and no they are not little questions", he concluded.
"yeah yeah, whatever you say Matboy", Reckso said in a very bored voice and yawned.
If it wasn't against reaper rules to murder a captive or witness...Mat would have done exactly that.
He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
"I'll ask this only once, where are the other two?", he asked.
A chuckle left Reckso's lips, "I'm not a snitch", he responded.
Mat raised a brow incredulously
"Well, good that you're hiding their whereabouts but quick question...if they found themselves in your position, what do you think they'd do?", he asked as he stared Reckso down.
Reckso took a moment, almost as if he was considering what would happen if the tables had turned and Mat could see the wheels in his mind clearly turning.
He opened his mouth to say something and then he stopped and grinned.
"I'm sorry if I sound like a whiny bitch but can you take me to jail now?, I am so tired because of the long travel distance"
Mat let out a frustrated groan and eyed Reckso.
"Take him away", he ordered in annoyance.
Reckso had a sly smile and Mat huffed.
...
Days later,
The entire team was down with reports. First this had been a black operation that the higher ups had not been informed about. Therefore Mat was supposed to go on a week probationary leave after he turned in his reports.
The other three, Xalo, Reo, Finnix had a clean break after Mat assumed all responsibility for the operation, although they were also asked to turn in their reports.
The higher-ups had actually spent about 3 whole days just to arrive at that decision and although Mat felt that he deserved credit and not punishment, he didn't say a word.
Perhaps after a week, they would have changed their minds. He sighed as he turned in the file, staring at Agent Vladimir Sechs.
The agent smiled and said in a very sarcastic voice, "enjoy your 'leave' Agent Mighty"
Mat gave a sardonic one back, " Adios and see you soon Agent Sex".
Anyway, Mat walked out, intending to finally see his Nirvana because it had been too long since he saw her. He passed by a flower shop, Fleur Finesse and got her some red Rosettes.
He headed towards her apartment excitedly with a huge grin on his face, feeling like a lovesick teenager once again.
The distance was a little bit long, just as he turned the next corner, the thought of teleportation filled his mind. Perhaps he should have tried that instead of walking. Too late he was already here now.
His eyes fell on the empty flower pots outside her window where she had planted a couple of flower seeds some months back and he smiled again. He looked up at the doorbell and swiftly pressed on it, eager to see her, hug her and to finally feel the sense of belonging that she made him feel. His home.
All of a sudden, he felt himself being sucked up into a void and he frowned instantly. He was confused, refusing to panic as he felt all his life force bring sucked into the deep void. A second later, only the flowers were left in a messy state on the floor.
Meanwhile, Nirvana made her way towards the door. She thought she had heard the doorbell ring. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a bouquet of rosettes haphazardly scattered around and frowned. She bent down slightly and picked them up, hoping that they at least held a card that would explain why someone had abandoned flowers at her door but there was none. She contemplated leaving them outside but then decided against it.
Mat stood outside the police station once again.
"Was this their idea of a joke?", he wondered as he stared at the glass door. He took a deep breath and headed inside.
Just as he did, someone ran up to him. Agent Danilo Puttin.
"Agent Mat, welcome back if you'll kindly follow me... Agent Fach would love to see you in the interrogation room", he said.
Mat nodded briefly and momentarily held down his annoyance.
When he stepped into the room, he saw two other agents besides Agent Fach, Agent Braids and Agent Rodolf. Reckso was also there, sitting with his darned grin again as if he just asked for candy and got it.
Mat looked at the four agents who looked like they had just ordered their favourite dishes from their favourite restaurants. Reckso was about to become Grim Reapers Lunch.
"he said he is ready to talk", Agent Puttin informed Mat who immediately suspected foul play. Just hours back, he had tried to get Reckso to spill but he had been tightlipped and refused to say a word.
Now, all of a sudden?, he was ready to talk?. The situation was utterly suspicious especially since he had asked for food as well.
Reckso eyed the agents in the room, talking his time as he took a bite of the chicken before him.
Seriously?, they ordered chicken for a criminal?.
Unbelievable!
Reckso licked both his index and middle fingers and smiled.
"Since you are all so curious, I'll tell you everything...From the very beginning"
Mat groaned in annoyance at his cheekiness.
Who the heck did he think he was to order Grim Reapers around?.
'He's your ex-boss', my brain supplied. I hate my brain!
