Jennifer's order drew closer. Jennifer grew restless. From one to seven already three people have successfully carried out the mission.
"Eight!" Call Thomas.
Jennifer approached hesitantly. There is no other way but to be honest. If you push yourself, you will harm yourself.
"I backed off. I ..." Jennifer gaped. Thomas ignored Jennifer's words and chose to talk on the phone.
"Sorry, today's exercise has been postponed. It has rained upstream which is at risk of sudden flooding. The exercise will be carried out again after the weather improves and the river flow returns to normal." Thomas announced the training change.
Jennifer did not think that luck was on her side. The flow of the river does seem to change rapidly. And the turbidity of the water also changes. It even started to rain. Everyone was asked to take shelter in a resting place.
Not far from the training location there is a resting place. There are several chairs to sit on. All participants sit there. Meanwhile, Thomas and several people who were watching them also took shelter. Immediately the weather turned bad. Rain accompanied by wind and lightning.
"This place is said to have a rapidly changing weather cycle. Therefore, every time there is someone who specifically detects changes in the weather that occur. You are lucky to still have time. I believe in you," said Frans.
Jennifer looked at Frans and confirmed his words. Jennifer can practice swimming while practice is postponed. But, who will train Jennifer? There was no way Jennifer could ask Thomas for help. If Jennifer passed this practice, everyone would think Thomas was partial and unfair.
"Don't worry Jennie. I will help you," said Frans as if he understood Jennifer's anxiety.
"You? I'm not your rival in this exercise," said Jennifer.
"Rival!?!" Frank was surprised and then laughed.
"No. We're not rivals. This isn't a race. It's just practice. Whoever passes first, then he will serve first."
Jennifer was pensive thinking about Frans' words. In her heart, Jennifer confirmed Frans' words. But then on the other hand Jennifer remembered Thomas' words not to trust anyone. Jennifer must always be on guard.
"Okay. Thank you," Jennifer said.
By then the rain and storm had subsided. All participants were asked to return to the center. All participants are also allowed to practice in the space provided before the actual practice.
Jennifer immediately entered the room. Before the shower there was something Jennifer wanted to do, which was to find out about Frans. If I'm not mistaken, the LCD in the room has many functions. As television, announcements of activities from the center, can also be sophisticated computers.
Jennifer sat cross-legged. Take the keyboard and connect it to the monitor screen attached to the dining table. Then Jennifer went into the menu and used the search app. There Jennifer typed the name Frans but the owner of the name was too many. Jennifer had to find Frans' full name. Or Jennifer can find out for herself by visiting Frans' place.
Finally Jennifer decided to take a shower and have a cereal for lunch. After that Jennifer decided to go out and see the situation outside. It turned out to be very crowded there. Some secret agent participants gathered and did leisure activities such as singing, playing games and so on. Around the place there is also a safety guard that protects some areas from bad weather. Looks like the storm is raging again out there.
"You want hot chocolate?" Frans thrust a glass of still hot chocolate into Jennifer's hand.
"Thank you," Jennifer said.
"Let's sit there," said Frans, pointing to one of the tree trunks that was used as a seat to watch other friends singing or displaying their respective talents.
Jennifer couldn't resist. Frans was good at making Jennifer unable to refuse his invitation. The two of them sat on the tree trunk while enjoying hot chocolate. Jennifer was not aware that Thomas was watching from afar. Frans' closeness to Jennifer makes Thomas jealous. Though Thomas should have had the opportunity to be closer to Jennifer. But everywhere there are always people trying to get close to Jennifer and Thomas who are always busy always miss opportunities.
Jennifer smiled faintly when one of the participants was telling her about a joke she had made. He is very good at making funny stories. So Jennifer smiled and laughed. Frans, who saw Jennifer smiling, was even more amazed and adored Jennifer's beauty. Frans prefers to enjoy Jennifer's face than the attractive appearance in front of her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Jennifer protested when she realized Frans kept staring at her face.
"The scenery here is more beautiful," said Frans.
"You can joke too," Jennifer said.
Frank just smiled faintly. He wasn't joking at all. Among male friends, Jennifer is very popular. But they were reluctant to approach because Jennifer was being so cold. Frans dared to approach and did not want to lose the opportunity. He likes Jennifer.
"Want to dance with me?" one of the male participants asked Jennifer as the music played.
Jennifer was stunned. The invitation to dance was too bold and sudden.
"Sorry, Jennie asked me first." France answered. "Isn't that so Jenny?"
Getting a question in such a confusing situation made Jennifer nod. The man looked disappointed but couldn't do anything.
"Let's dance," said Fran.
Jennifer thought it was just an excuse but it turned out that Frans really wanted to ask Jennifer to dance.
"I can't dance," Jennifer said nervously.
"It's okay. Just trust me," said Frans.
Finally Jennifer accepted Frans' hand. Without hesitation, Frans' arms wrapped around Jennifer's waist. The other hand gripped Jennie's hand. Frans began to guide Jennifer to follow her movements to the music.
"How? It's not difficult to dance with me," said Frans. "A secret agent must have a lot of skills. Including doing this with anyone."
Jennifer was silent and confirmed Fran's words. Jennifer knows sometimes on duty in the field a secret agent must use all skills according to the circumstances.
"Okay. Teach me," Jennifer said.
Fran's head came closer and whispered. "You're in luck. You're in good hands."
Frans guided Jennifer every step of the way. Of course the smart Jennifer can learn quickly. It turned out to be a lot of fun dancing. Following the beat of the music makes Jennifer feel happy. The music accelerates then ends dramatically. At the end of the movement Frans and Jennifer embraced. Their breathing was very irregular. Applause made them both to let go of each other and out of the dance arena.
"Want to see a beautiful view?" asked France.
"Is this part of an agent's job?" Jennifer asked.
"Of course. An agent has to be good at flirting. Especially if your target is a playboy."
Jennifer sighed. "Okay sir, show me the place," Jennifer replied making Frans laugh. Frans took Jennifer's hand and went to a place that was still in the protected area.
