“Now explain to me, how can you end up like that. I mean ... How did you guys get together?” scowl Clark after Andrew gets back in the car. He had been holding back on that question all the way.
Upon seeing Andrew had put on his seat belt, Clark immediately started the car and drove out of the hotel's courtyard. Clark has set up a guide to get back to EEL. When the car enters the highway, it immediately spurs the vehicle in the direction indicated on the monitor screen.
“Robert's men are after him. It seems to have something to do with Hiro. Maybe Robert wanted to kidnap Keiko to blackmail her fiance, or ... to bait her? The hostage? I don't know. I can't guess what's going on,” Andrew replied with a glaring look.
His mind was now branching out, between thinking about the possibilities that were happening between Hiro and Robert Castillo, as well as between himself and Keiko. Um, he meant ...all the physical contact that had occurred between the two of them since earlier, it was so ... ah, how to explain it? He felt that it was both very fun and unreal.
It all really doesn't feel real. Although the girl's scent and voice still lingered in her memory, she was afraid that she was now just dreaming. He is very afraid if he suddenly has to wake up and find the fact that Sakamoto Keiko is not real, only part of his dreams.
“Andrew?” call Clark when the man next to him doesn't respond.
“Huh?”
“I asked, what will you do next?” repeat Clark while sighing softly.
Why he should be confused with Andrew's problem. This time it was her turn to feel that she was a big sister who had to look after her brother.
“I don't know,” Andrew replied as he gruffly restored his hair.
For the first time in his life, he was worried about making a decision. There was never a gray area in the dictionary. Black is black. White is white. There is no gray. No one can set foot in two areas at the same time. Should he violate his own principles for the sake of the girl? The girl he met three times. It was in a meeting that happened by accident. Or... could it be that all of those coincidences were something that had been arranged by fate?
Ah ... shit! I can't go on like this, Andrew said in his heart.
“What are you going to say to Mr. Tanaka?” ask Clark again.
“I don't know yet.”
“How about the headquarters find out about this from an outsider, Drew? You could be accused of having a plan to betray.”
Clark warned his best friend with a pretty serious look. As a spy organization that is quite recognized in the world, Espionneur Europeen Level prioritizes the loyalty of its members. There is little suspicion or accusation of treason, so do not expect to escape alive.
“I don't know, Clark. I really don't know. Give me time to think.”
Clark remained silent. He wanted to say that time was the only thing they didn't have, but he wasn't up to the heart to make his best friend even more depressed. If he is in Andrew's position, then he will .. no, he does not want to be in Andrew's position.
“You should make a decision soon, Buddy. Soon,” Clark said as he turned the steering wheel into a white building that did not look lonely at all.
After stopping in front of the entrance and giving up the car keys to the valet officer, Clark and Andrew walked in and headed for the reception desk. A burly man with blond hair cut into pieces examined the two of them before ushering into Mr.'s room. Tanaka's.
As Clark had guessed, all the officers on guard had changed. There were no longer the same people he had seen this afternoon when he exited the building. With a little hesitation he looked up when the guard opened the door of the study.
“Sir,” say when seeing Mr. Tanaka who was looking at the report file with a serious face, “Sorry, we are late again.”
“Come in,” order Mr. Tanaka without looking up.
The old man flipped through some sheets of paper on the table and read them seriously. Jovanka who was sitting next to her looked at Andrew and Clark with narrowed eyes. While Jimmy just shrugged his shoulders indifferently. The wrinkled look on his face seemed to convey that his entire life had not been well collected.
“Where have you been?” ask Jovanka with a sharp tone of voice. Either he was angry because the two men in front of him were late or for leaving him who had just arrived at the izakaya.
“Andrew helps a girl who was robbed in the middle of the road. We had to drive him home because he was too scared and did not want to let go of Andrew's hand, ” Clark replied straightforwardly as he threw his ass over the chair without being asked.
“Excuse our negligence, Sir,” Andrew told Mr. Tanaka while bowing politely. Right now he really doesn't want to make a fuss.
“No problem. Sit down,” reply Mr. Tanaka rubbed his face which looked like he had just woken up. It seemed like the man was also in a hurry to return to the headquarters.
After a deep breath, Mr. Tanaka looked at his men in turn and said, “The main headquarters requested a double operation. Robert Castillo must also be captured in this mission.”
The man was silent for a moment and observed the look on the face of his men who looked unaffected or surprised in the least. Yeah, well, it's not that surprising because Andrew and Clark guessed it. It's just ....
“It looks like you guys will be longer here. We're going to plan carefully before we ambush those mafia heads. The main base doesn't want us to fail. Don't let Robert get away with it because this is the best opportunity to subdue him.”
Goody. Stay longer. More time to be with you ....
A wide grin adorned Andrew's face as Mr. Tanaka turned on the hologram and began to explain. He ignored the frown on Jovanka's forehead and Clark's sharp stare as if telling her to stop acting like a fool.
Yeah, he himself couldn't resist. He doesn't mind being stupid for Sakamoto Keiko. That means he doesn't care what anyone else thinks of it.
I think I already know what to do, Baby ....
