"Amber control yourself!!", Samuel snapped as they entered the garage, "You can't lose your focus like this!".
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to break down like this".
Samuel sighed placing his hands on his waist, how can he control this woman? Amber has been his partner for over three years but still he can't help her when she breaks down. The must difficult thing is that Mr Brooks doesn't know not only him but the whole CIA officials, he only knows about this because she told him.
"Listen Amber I can't let anyone know about this. It will be the end of your career and dreams I know you don't want that".
Amber took in some breaths, "I'm sorry".
"You don't have to be. I'm here for you after all, you don't have to be sorry for anything".
The truth is... he loves her and Aries has used her as his weakness. He would notice it even before he heard about Grace, Aries has been trying to get to him all this time but he didn't want to be involved in spy activities and then Aries started to use Amber to control him. He can't let Aries hurt Amber not in a million years to come.
"I just need to rest", He heard her whisper, "I just have to be ready when Grace is leaving".
Samuel could only sigh in defeat, he did want her to be there when Grace is leaving because it will be a very difficult scene for him to watch.
"Fine", He replied, "Just gather yourself and please remember your career".
Amber nodded in understanding, "I understand", She uttered with a sigh, "We can't let Grace foster parents wait. I guess Grace will really give them a hard time. Let's go".
Samuel studied her for a moment before agreeing. He can't say no to her now. As they both went back to Mr Brooks office, they met Mr Brooks on the way.
"Well the government has decided the place Grace and her foster parents are going to stay", He said being straight forward as ever, "They have prepared a plane for them leaving tonight".
"Are we not allow to know where Grace will stay?", Amber asked with a light frown.
"No, you are not. The government believes that Grace is still in danger and needs to be highly protected. Since she already has a connection with Peter Cole and the Slayers, they are certain that Grace might never have a peaceful life", He explained.
Silence followed his word, Samuel nearly choked on Mr Brooks words, not that Grace is still in danger but that the government has picked her hideout by their selves,this will only make things difficult for him and maybe for Aries.
"It's better that way", Amber broke the silence, "It's better she's far away where the government and us have eyes on. I know you won't tell us about the process on Grace in the next coming years but I hope you will protect her... at all cost?", Amber stared at Mr Brooks waiting for his answer. Since she can't protect Grace form the dangers she might as well hope in her supervisor.
"Yes", He answered, "You can trust me on that".
Amber nodded before walking away to meet the foster parents while Samuel glared at Mr Brooks.
"What?!", He exclamed.
"You better watch your mouth Sam", Mr Brooks warning as his eyes narrowed checking if anyone was eavesdropping, "I don't know what how Aries planned this but the government just accepted the idea when the selected foster parents brought it up".
Samuel couldn't believe what he just heard, Mr Brooks is apart of Aries plan!!?? What the f**k!.
"How did you know Aries?".
"I have been helping her with her plans and her access into the government classified documents. Even though she could do it by herself she wanted more and I became her all ever since".
Mr Brooks explanation was short but Samuel wasn't still convinced, so he was a pawn all along dancing to Aries tune. He face palmed himself, how can he be so foolish.
"This is not a place to feel angry Samuel. We have to keep dancing to her tune or else she might kill the people we love the most in our lives. I don't know about you but I can't lose my family".
Samuel nodded in understanding, "Fine. Did she tell you anything?".
"No, she didn't. It only makes me wonder why she is so eager to let Grace leave?".
"She always have to plan. That why I hate her".
"You don't hate her as much as I do", He patted his shoulder, "Just be careful and don't tell Amber", He left.
Sam sighed before heading to Mr Brooks office, Amber was smiling happily as Grace foster parents talked with Grace.
"Looks like the are happy", He said walking beside her, "You?".
"I'm strangely happy as well Sam. I hope Grace has a better life and a bright future ahead of her".
He smiled, "I hope to".
Sincerely, he hope Grace won't have a different and difficult ahead of her. Even if her parents were monsters, he didn't want her to live the lifestyle of her family that only led them to death and destruction.
"I'm sure Grace will live a beautiful life", He assured.
"Yeah I know. She is so smart and cold and loving. It only makes me wonder if she will let go of her parents death. Because just by looking at her I see the hint of revenge. I fear she may want revenge, and it will force her to do things she is not suppose to do".
Samuel pressed his lip to a thin line, "I think so. I saw the revenge in her eyes the moment I saw her. But if she's in the habds of the government I know they won't allow it before she even start".
Amber sighed, "Yeah I think so. She is safe if she's away from here. I totally agree with you".
