I barge into his office. It was pretty easy. The building where his office was located was one of those buildings where it's only busy and secured when it's daytime.
I go through his files after I kill all the cameras. I was Hoping I'd find something good or at least useful.
A few minutes later I went out of there. His office was already a mess before I messed it up even more. Surely he won't notice.
I drive out of there and get his left his car at the junkyard. I checked the guard's car too. It remained untouched. But I'm still not gonna use it. It might still be dangerous.
I stayed at the junkyard till morning sun was up. I went through his phone at that time.
He has a kid who is a pain in his bum. His wife also sent him way too many messages and at least a hundred missed calls.
That time I understood that it's not easy to be a family. That it's not always sunshine and rainbows and love.
I then find this number whom he calls very often. It was under the name "Boss"
It might have just been his superior but there's no hurt in trying to find out something.
They don't have text messages, just plain calls. So I checked the voice records. There something peculiar was recorded.
"She showed up again boss."
"Bastard. I told you to get rid of her."
"Boss, it's not that easy. She's a monster."
The record then ended. All the other records were pretty useless.
I cleaned up the phone and made sure I didn't miss anything.
I then left.
So they see me as a monster. How cute.
I roam around the city. The most wanted person going from town to town. I see beggars on the street. I'm not that interested in politics or in the governance of this country, but shouldn't they just quit that organization and give the budget for the organization to the beggars and poor people instead?
Anyways I don't really mind. As long as I'm alive and I'm doing what I need to do right?
Days went on and it was quiet. They all didn't chase after me and I was roaming freely.
I stop by a tv shop as I saw myself at the news.
"A black agent who is known to be a threat to everyone is now on loose. She is still unidentified, but this footage shows us her face."
They play a CCTV footage of me walking. Though I don't know where it was.
"She is about 6 feet tall. She is also known to be super strong, and well in combat."
That's literally all you know? I've been walking in the streets for a week here already.
Soon as I stood still in front of the tv screen, some people started to notice me. They crowded me and started taking pictures of me.
I ran out of their midst, but some of them followed me and reported me to the police. Next thing I knew was that I was beating up some cops.
I got out of it too in a jiffy.
I do not know what to do. I am once again lost.
I settle down at the junkyard again. And as I do Ji wan calls me.
I was hesitant with picking up. I don't want to fall into that pit of temptation again. It may be just love for other people but for me, it's danger.
I decided not to take his call. Yet he was so persistent and kept ringing my phone up. So I pick up, it might be something urgent.
"Liua. I saw you on tv."
He sounded worried. Yet I just listened. I was silent.
"Are you there?"
"What do you want?"
I sounded cold.
"I- I just wanted to check on you."
"I'm fine."
I ended the call.
I finally managed to be cold towards him it might have not felt right but at least it's for the best. I feel like I'm on my way to freedom again somehow.
Funny how the little things can affect us. I thought if I was too harsh, maybe I over did it. I was worried if he would over think it but in reality I was the overthingking one.
I feel pathetic. I shouldn't be thinking of him.
I sneak in to a bar, and grabbed a few shots to just make the thoughts go down.
I really miss Lily. I thought as I slammed a glass down after chugging the beer.
I wish I can go back to the farm. But that's just too risky.
Soon I was drunk. You know the type of drunk where you know what in the world you're doing but you don't have control of it.
That's how I felt.
I pulled up to somewhere remote and called Ji wan. Before you judge me, I was drunk okay? I was also impulsive as hell.
"Ji wan!"
I screamed.
"I love you! But I can't! I'm so dumb."
I was tripping. I'm surprised I could even say things clearly at that point.
"Are you drunk?"
"Yeah. Why not."
"Get some rest."
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I keep thinking of you."
I cover my mouth in such a stupid way
"Shh. I'm not supposed to tell you that."
"Where are you?"
I tell him where I was. And he picked me up.
as we were driving, I told him a few words before I ultimately passed out.
"You shouldn't be with me. I'm dangerous."
"I'm more dangerous."
"Why? How?"
He didn't reply after that.
Soon I woke up with a banging hangover.
I was at his vacation house. I was alarmed at first with the change of surroundings, but I soon woke up, this time to my reality of what in the world I did last night. Gosh it was cringey. I wanted to sneak out of here with all I said but he entered just in time to greet me good morning with some soup.
