“What happened?” clark asked as he walked quickly beside Andrew. The look on his best friend's face didn't look good. His gusts sounded like a desert storm that would destroy anything he passed.
“My father asked me to marry Cecille and continue the family business. What else is it?” andrew replied with annoyance.
“The old man was completely unyielding,” muttered Clark as he opened the car door.
Andrew remained silent. He didn't want to answer Clark's words. How else would you like? He is the only successor of the Roux family. All of those loads automatically pressed against his shoulders firmly. It is so powerful that it has almost no purpose in life. If only ten years ago he had not decided to join one of the secret government organizations, he might now be married and have children. Many children. He was convinced his father would force Cecille to give birth every year. Really horrible.
Clark started the car and immediately drove to EEL headquarters near the Moscow military base. As one of the largest spying organizations in Europe, EEL members are recruited from all states on the continent. The people with the best abilities are selected and trained to be both spies as well as cold-blooded killers.
Their targets are organizations outside the government that are suspected of being a threat to security stability. In addition .. of course every soldier seeks important information from other countries and reports it to their respective countries. In other words, no one can truly be trusted.
Because of its duties, which are considered to be very risky, EEL members are not officially recognized by the government of any country. All members of the organization who die while on duty will not get a medal as a hero. Their names would be erased just like that, as if their presence had never existed. Even from the events he had seen, there were some members who were made scapegoats by their own country when there was a leak of information. Clark himself did not understand how he could follow Andrew's madness and join in here.
“It's here,” Clark said when he saw Andrew still glued to the passenger seat.
Andrew picked up his suitcase and walked up to Clark without saying a word. Clark understands his best friend's heart is bad. He did not want to be the victim of his frustration, so he stepped calmly towards the checkpoint. They showed identification marks to the guards on duty. Their entire bodies and luggage were scanned before being allowed to enter.
“Miss Jovanka has been waiting for you both,” said the officer in English who is quite fluent. He pointed at the colleague to his right and said, “Officer Henry will drop you off.”
“Thank you,” said Andrew and Clark together.
The two of them followed behind Henry obediently. Despite looking indifferent, Andrew recorded every corner of the room and the many passageways they passed before arriving at the takeoff area. A new Sukhoi SU-309 looks like a dragon ready to fight in the sky. The last modified fighter of the Sukhoi SU-27 is designed to travel long distances and be able to maneuver quickly.
“I just drove you here. Go ahead. Miss Jovanka is waiting inside.”
“Thank you for the help,” Clark said before following Andrew onto the plane.
Jovanka did not take her eyes off Andrew when she saw the man approaching the passenger seat behind her.
“Good by morning, Gentleman,” greet Jovanka, “I hope you still have the spirit to fight.”
“I think, we go with the rest of the team,” Andrew replied without further ado.
“They will soon follow with another plane. You know the capacity of this plane is only four people. We must arrive first to prepare a backup plan and check the location,” replied Jovanka, not at all offended by the suspicious tone in Andrew's voice.
Despite not liking Jovanka, Andrew felt a little amazed at the woman's quickness and professionalism. He did not appear to be drunk at all despite downing alcohol at a nightclub. Her sex dress was now changed to a military uniform that made her look a little masculine.
Jovanka pointed to the young man who looked to be about 25 years old next to her and said, “Include, this is Jimmy. He will drive us. You can get acquainted when we have landed later.”
Jimmy waved at a glance, then refocused forward. Quickly he turned on the aircraft engine and prepared to take off.
“Task description is already embedded on the digital monitor in front of you. Now, fasten your seat belts. We will leave soon,” said Jovanka with a big smile.
Andrew put on a headset and tightened his seat belt. As the roar of the engine rumbled, he closed his eyes and hoped that everything would be fine when he arrived in Japan. From there, maybe he'll escape to Canada, or the North Pole. Wherever it was, he would obviously run as far away from his father as possible.

A strong sake aroma oozed out from Hiro's mouth. His face was red and his eyes were misty. Not because of the alcohol. The drink only made his body more relaxed. It is the desire from within that gives such an effect. Although she is engaged to Keiko because of her matchmaking, she really likes the girl.
Keiko's carriage that looked weak and easily oppressed, but being able to finish off four men at once in one slash of her samurai made Hiro crazy half-dead on the girl. He was simply too proud to admit or show it to anyone, including Keiko herself. Unfortunately again, he knew Keiko did not have the same feelings as him. But tonight ….
Keiko flinched from the top of the mattress and exclaimed, “What are you doing here?!”
“Shhh .. hey, I just want to meet you,” Hiro replied as he reached out, about to caress Keiko's cheek which looks like a blossoming cherry blossom.
“How can you get into my room?” hiss Keiko jumped down from the bed and picked up a jacket by the door.
The silhouette of Keiko's body flashing in a transparent nightgown made Hiro swallow with difficulty. The fire raged and burned an increasingly unstoppable desire. However, as he walked closer and almost touched the girl's shoulder, a dagger glistening in the darkness made him undo his original intentions. The sharp and pointed tip of the object was only a few inches from his chest.
“What are you doing?” hiro asked between surprise and disbelief.
“For one more step and this thing will be lodged in your heart,” hissed Keiko with rage.
“I am your future husband,” protests Hiro while gritting his teeth.
“Only candidates,” reply Keiko quickly, “We've discussed this before. I'll do it voluntarily after we get married. So now ... get out before I yell and call the bodyguard.”
Hiro suddenly lost interest. He is eager to teach Keiko a lesson, but surely the girl will use it as an excuse to break up their relationship. If it was like this, his father could do nothing more. So, after staring at Keiko with a burning highlight, Hiro clenched his hands tightly and disappeared on the balcony.
Keiko's right hand that was pointed straight is now drooping like jelly. He sat on the floor with an empty mind. His actions were wrong. Hiro has the right to touch him. It's just .. there's some kind of unwillingness ….
He knew all this was in vain. After marriage, there is nothing more she can do. There is no way back, or place to hide ….
There is no ….
