Remember Me, Baby.
Already in love with me?

The speed of the car driven by Kim slowly dwindled as it approached the old abandoned warehouse. The woman turned off the car lights and entered the gloomy-looking courtyard. There was no illumination at all so the shadow of the old building was faintly visible under the moonlight which was only half round.

“Captain, I can only take you here. I have to go back to the base immediately so that no one is suspicious,” Kim said after parking the car near a lush bush.

“I understand,” reply Andrew while getting off the car.

He walked round and opened the door for Keiko, “Be careful, there are many pieces of wood.”

“Hum, thank you,” muttered Keiko as she received Andrew's hand sticking out towards her.

Kim came down and opened the trunk. He picked up a large backpack and handed it to Andrew.

“Disposable phones, weapons and ammo, everything is ready. Ten more minutes there will be a young man who invites you and Miss Sakamoto to go to Chiba. The password you already know, don't you?” kim said with a serious face.

“Yes. Thank you,” replied Andew while carrying the backpack given to him.

“Be careful, Captain.”

Andrew nodded and said, “You are also careful. Don't let your identity be exposed.”

“Understanding. You take it easy,” reply Kim with a thin smile, “I go first.”

The woman got into the car and started the engine. Shortly after, the vehicle had already disappeared at the end of the iron gate that was already tilted to one side.

Keiko looked around. He did not recognize this environment at all. The girl rubbed her arm slowly. The weather is quite cold, especially in mid-autumn like this, the wind blows quite strong. The girl was taken to the interrogation room without having time to wear a jacket or sweater.

Suddenly Keiko's hand moved up to close her mouth, while her eyes closed tightly.

“Hatchu!”

Slightly shivering, the girl rubbed her hands together and blew her nose to make it feel a little warmer. If he knew it would be this way, he had chosen to wear a thicker shirt instead of a t-shirt like this.

Without turning his head, Andrew opened his suit and taped the thing on Keiko's shoulder as he muttered softly, “Wear.”

Keiko twisted her neck so that Andrew's stern facial line looked like a statue of a Greek god, looking so real but also as if it came from a different world. Unknowingly the girl held her breath. How could there be a human who looked so perfect. Thick eyebrows shade a pair of eyes that are sharp and full of dominance, the high nasal bones look very harmonious with a sturdy jaw shape and lips that ....

“Have fallen in love with me?”

“Hah?! A-what?”

Andrew turned his head slowly, staring fixedly at Keiko. Highlight the gentle man's eyes also looked a little seductive as he repeated his question, “Staring at me like that, has already started falling in love with me?”

Keiko's face is heating up. He opened his mouth, but there was not a single word he could say to avenge the man beside him. In a crucial moment like this ... can still tease her ... really have great guts ....

“I'm just kidding,” Andrew said as he gave a smile and reached out to close his suit on Keiko's body, “But .. if you've started liking me, just say it...”.

Tell head.

Keiko wanted to reject the suit worn onto her body, but the air tonight was really cold. Finally, he could only accept it with resignation.

The girl looked straight ahead and gritted her teeth as she muttered softly, “Thank you.”

Andrew smiled and rubbed the back of his head. Only Sakamoto Keiko can make him say stupid things and not feel ashamed at all. Isn't this very dangerous?

The man took a quick glance and found Keiko's face tense. He did not dare to tease her anymore. Fearing that the girl was angry and decided to leave, then all her efforts to bring the two of them out of the EEL headquarters would be in vain.

The sound of the night beast was earthy, clearly heard in the stillness that was re-created. Time seems to be going very slowly. Several times Andrew saw his watch. Ten minutes had already passed, but the young man who was supposed to pick them up had yet to be seen the trunk of his nose. Is there a problem on the road?

He pulled out a flat object that resembled a cell phone and turned it on. A red dot seemed to be flickering and was getting closer to its present location. That means there shouldn't be any problems.

Suddenly Keiko's voice broke the silence. He had been eager to ask that question since then, but had not found the right time. Now ... It should be okay if he asks ‘ right?

Andrew was silent for a moment. Actually, he also wanted to convey Hiro's matter to the girl. It's just that, for now he has not been able to ascertain whether the man survived or was actually caught by the party who wanted to utilize his strength.

“Regarding that, I also do not know clearly. The last time we spoke, he was seriously injured. But when I got to the base, the troops there didn't see him anywhere. So I don't know if he made it out alive or ..”

“So.”

“Hm.”

The silence again rose in the air. Keiko doesn't know how to behave. He knew Andrew Roux wasn't lying, so he looked up to see the moon wasn't perfectly round. While Andrew several times checked the monitor screen in his hand.

From a distance, the lights of cars flashing among the towering grass. Andrew's reflex pulls Keiko's hand, carrying the girl's body somewhat hidden behind the shadow of the half-broken pillar. Right now, he should be very careful. If there is a leak of information about their covert operations, it is not impossible that the information of his escape this time was leaked to other parties.

Unbeknownst to Keiko, they take the gun that Andrew gave them when they escaped. After disabling the safety, he aimed at the direction the car was coming from, following every movement caught by his eyes.

Andrew took one step forward and squatted down and watched until the car stopped about ten meters from where they were hiding. He noticed a red dot and two glowing green dots in a mini monitor in his hand. It should be the young man up ahead who was the bodyguard assigned to escort him to Chiba.

Sure enough, before long someone got out of the car, stood up and watched around vigilantly. His shadow was faint under the moonlight, even so the image of his face was still quite clear as it stood on the field.

“That's our invitation, let's go,” take Andrew while putting his things back in the bag.

He walked out from behind the pillar. Keiko followed carefully without sheathing her weapon. Better to be alert than ambushed without preparation.

The young man who was still standing near the car looked alert when he heard the movement not far from his place, but he relaxed again when he saw who had appeared.

“Captain,” said with respect, “I Leon will deliver you.”

The young man swiftly opened the car door and invited his boss to enter.

“Sorry to trouble you, Leon,” Andrew said as he looked at Keiko and gestured for the girl to enter first.

“No problem, Capt. It's my job.”

At first glance Andrew can guess that Leon is only in his early twenties. A fairly young age to be in the world of espionage.

Andrew opened the front door and sat down next to the driver's seat. If you have to sit next to Sakamoto Keiko throughout the trip, he is afraid he cannot demonstrate properly.

“We leave now,” Leon said when he saw two passengers had been wearing seat belts. This was his first job, and he was a little nervous.

“Do not be afraid,” murmured Andrew without turning to the side, “We will be fine. Come, go.”

“Good, Captain Roux.”

Leon took a deep breath, then treaded on the gas pedal carefully. The car slowly left the old building growing smaller and smaller, forming a silhouette that shaded.

“It's a long trip. Go to sleep, I will wake you when it comes,” Andrew said, looking back.

“Good,” Keiko answered obediently, but her eyes remained wide open.

How can you sleep in such a situation?

The girl leaned back and half closed her eyes. However, his level of vigilance was the same as an owl aiming for prey. The semi-automatic pistol in his grip remained in the standby position. He will not let go of anyone who wants to mess with him. He must stay alive to avenge his father, as well as Hiro .. therefore, he must remain vigilant.
