(Frey Point of View)
I watch as Asaka searches in a panic. I'm surprised that she is acting like this for a boy. I guess this is also the first real relationship she has been in. I did see where he went so I should tell her. Then again, I could be petty and just let her run around like a maniac. I could wait for a few minutes. He did just go down the hallway so it would be easy to find him. Then again this is a pretty big place and she won't admit the truth so it would be a bit funny. I could be that petty. How did she not see them? Or at least feel it? I guess she was busy with me. I hear my phone go off with a text message. That might be my bodyguard asking when I will be back. I see Asaka look over at me as I check the message. My new bodyguard needs me to come home as Zoe is acting crazy and I have one from work. I ignore the one from work as I put my phone back into my pocket. I do hope that Zoe is okay. I should head home now so I can calm her down.
"I have to go. Your boyfriend went down that hallway. Just know that the woman that you want is at the base whenever you are ready." Wait, they saw where he went? How do they always know what is going on no matter what?
"Thank you. I hope everything goes well with Zoe."
I make sure that I have everything before I leave. I text my bodyguard to say that I would be there soon. I speed a lot as I head home but I need to ensure that Zoe is alright. There are a few times when I do have to slow down because of police and sharp turns but I still get home faster than I would have and I didn't hit anything. I might be a criminal but I'm not going to be arrested because of something like speeding and I'm not going to get caught because of a car crash. I get inside and Zoe runs up to me before jumping on me. She must have missed me, I know I have. I look over at the bodyguard.
"You can leave now."
"I'm not supposed to."
"Well, I am telling you to. I will call you whenever I need you."
"Ma'am…"
I stop them. "Call me ma'am again and I will hang your body around the city." I see them tense up. Good. He knows I am telling the truth. I'm not going to be misgendered in this field or by an employee. "Now leave or I might do it anyway."
They nod their head before leaving. I start playing with Zoe, which she loves. After about an hour, I let Zoe run around the yard as I bring everything in. When I go to find her, I can't see her. I keep looking around when she pounces on me, pinning me to the ground. I smile at her as I laugh. I hug her as I flip us over. We play hide and seek for a bit. Zoe isn't the best at hiding but she is really good at finding me. It does make me wonder if she was used for something like that with her old owner but I don't think about it for long before I go back to playing. I see her getting tired. I smile at her before we head inside. I make us some dinner before we eat and then head to bed. Zoe definitely is happy with the food I got her today and I had the same as it's easier and it's pretty much just meat that I give her.
Honestly, I have missed being about to do this and it seems like so has Zoe. Zoe has her head on me as she sleeps. I'm glad that I have her for as long as I do. I know she is getting older but I should have a few more years with her. I don't know how long. I don't believe that she is older than me, so that is at least 4 more years. I shouldn't think about this as much as I am. I lightly put my hand on Zoe's head. I feel Zoe lightly lean into my touch as I slowly let myself fall asleep.
In the morning, I wake up to a phone call. I reach over as I grab my phone and pick up. I put it up to my ear, still half asleep.
"Yes?"
"Frey, we have an issue. Something is wrong with the boss and we are missing the woman she told us to get."
I sit up on my bed. "Explain and make it fast."
