Day-2 before all the mess happened...
I took a deep breath and sighed. "Hey, Agent! Congrats on your promotion. So, what do you want again?!"
I put the empty glass, sighed. "Do you know... Kenneth O'Kenna, right? He escaped from the prison and... Red Sentinel's armies, they put high bounty on him." Cherry chuckled as she put her mojito on the table.
"You..."
"What if we... made a deal? If I can put him into prison. I will give you 90% of the rewards," she laughs as clapped her hands. "You're in?"
Cherry supports her chin as played her knife. "90%, huh? It's tempting for me to accept your offer, Lexa." She sighed, then straightened her body. "I'm in. What's your plan?"
I'm nodding my head, then I put a burnt cell phone on the table. "Tell him you're the one who framed him."
She glares at me, then pointing her knife in front of my neck. "One move. I slit your throat."
I brushed off her hand, sighed. "Can you..."
"Relax!?" She scoffed, shook her head. "We..."
"Do you want the price or not?!" She grips the knife handle tight, then threw it next to me.
"Fine!" She picked the phone, then send Kenneth the message. "Done!" She showed me the message. "So, what now?!"
I took a deep breath and grabbed my jacket. "When he interrogates you, tell him everything." She holds my hand, then pinned me to the wall. "I know you, but..."
"Looked at me, Agent Dumb!" I'm looking into her eyes. "You still want to live, right?"
I took a deep breath and sighed. "He wouldn't killed both of us, Your Highness. You have my word." I said as let go of her hand, then snatched her second knife.
She sighed, then left. Well, maybe... I should leave this room.

I'm walking to where she seated, then smiles. "Are you sure you want to help me?" I'm nodding my head.
Cecilia sighed, then support her chin, staring at me. "How's your hand?" I showed my injured hand.
"What do you think?" She scoffed, looking at the lounge. "So... how you doing? It's that..."
"I'm sorry, Alexa! I just..." I'm smiling and put my hand inside my jeans.
A wrinkle on her face... "I know you worried about me, but... it's too much, Cecil. W-we're just friend." Why I always wants we more than a friend?!
My heart beating fast as I looked at her smiling. God, am I fall in love with her? "Here's your coffee."
A waitress said as put a ice coffee in front of me. "I ordered your favorite."
It's cute. "Enjoy!" She said, then leave.
I took a deep breath and sighed. "So... you forgive me? How's your CI condition?" I put the ice coffee next to the apple pie.
"She's fine. She... went home two days ago, and..." I gave her Cherry's second knife. Cecilia furrowed her brow.
"Is that..."
I cleared my throat. "Y-yeah... I found that knife in the crime scene, and... they missed it. I want you to have it."
Cecilia inspect the knife, furrowed her brow. "Why?" She asked as she looked at me.
I'm scratching my eyebrow. Cecilia, I don't have bad intention, but... Kenneth should be stopped immediately. "Kenneth already gets inside the cafe. Over." Great.
I pulled Cecilia, then kissed her on the lips. She widened her eyes, then close her eyes. Does she... well, never mind. I pushed her slowly, then sighed. "He's here, right? Joseph already told me that... Kenneth was here."
"That's my first kiss!" We said in sync. None of us wanted to speak again. This is awkward. "I uh..."
"I-it's fine! Besides..." her face turned red. We tried not to make eye contact, but... it difficult. "You... still don't have relationship, right?" I'm nodding my head. If I do have any relationship with other female in this world, I'll let you know.
"What about you? You still in relationship with your boyfriend, right?" She shook her head. I'm widened my eyes.
Cecilia sighed, support her face and looked outside of the window. I followed where she was looking, then sighed. "He's cheating with his boss."
I chocked by the air. What?! H-he's cheating with you?! What the fuck! "How do you know?" She sighed, then packed her belongings. "You need..."
"Joseph will pick me up, Alexa. I don't..." She bites her lips and sighed. "Maybe... we met after I..."
"It's okay, Cecil. He will come after you." She furrowed her brow. "I know Kenneth for so long. He was my partner and friend."
Cecilia hugged me tight, she bun her hair? "He's watching." I respond to her hug, then let go our hug.
Maybe it's just my feeling. She's straight. She doesn't have feelings more than a friend. It's impossible for me to have her.
She's my type and my friend. What if our relationship did not working out like the others? It can be awkward, and I will losing her. Definitely losing her.
After that incident...
I opened my eyes, blinked several times. "You alive, welcome back, Agent Lexa." Where am I... Ugh...
"What happened?" Cherry grabbed my hand, then rubbed it. "I already transferred 10% like we agreed and..."
"Your Majesty, the car is ready." Oh... I'm still alive. I'm looking at my left hand. My hand cuffed to the side of the bed.
"You're... girlfriend cuffed your hand. I don't know why she doing that since you taken to the hospital." I'm chuckling, sighed. Cherry took a deep breath and sighed. "You... always surprised me, Agent. I wish you're not a law enforcement, I will make you my soldiers."
She sighed. I heard door opened, and I saw a woman with blonde hair, glared at me with her arms crossed over her chest. "You alive?!" I did not answer questions. "Kenneth already back to his prison after he killed Mrs. Yumeko Takeshi."
I raised my left hand. "Get well soon, Agent. Thank you for saving my life again!" She left us alone. As the door closed, Cecilia sits next to me. "We will have a long conversation, Alexa. I..."
"Jynx and Xyna? Where are they?" Cecilia sighed.
"You should go to NJAC after doctor give you a green code." Am I get caught? I raised my left hand. "About that..."
She sighed. "From now, I will take care of you. I know you will runaway, but..." she put her face near my ears. "Not on my watch, Lexa. You should get bored because..." she takes a leaves!?
I took a deep breath, sighed. My day will become a hell from now.
