Chapter 4

The next day Rock was busy teaching Junior Agents in Sniping... He is in training camp now. This is one of the jobs Siege left behind as he prepares for the upcoming wedding. Aidan and Rouge are busy teaching the TRAINEES.

"Guys, a Sniper can't miss because of the time you crash. That will ruin everything at that would be your end. First, you should spot your enemy. Observed it's movement, the surroundings and the wind... Next is lock the target. After you lock the target, pull the trigger, it is not possible to quickly pull the trigger here because you need to timing the killing of the target without being noticed by his comrades. Silent kill is the safest and most effective. And most importantly... Know the best spot, where you can hide."

As he speaks he writes on the white board. And the Junior Agents are busy writing after they listen to him. He just does this review with Junior Agents because when they were Trainees they were taught Sniping... It doesn’t mean that it have been taught, there is no need to train. Of course a review is needed so as not to rust the skills of their Junior Agents. Because they themselves are the Official Agents of Men in Action are still training to this day.

When his class was over they then went to the shooting range. There he will show the best rifles for the Sniper. He picked up the first row of rifles.

"This is the most basic rifle used by novice Snipers — the RMT-M700. Its power is 18.0. The magazine size is 6.0the Fire rate is 0.54. And the stability is 60.0..."

"Sir!"

"Yes, Rupture?"

"What is the strongest rifle for a Sniper?" Junior agent asked.

Rock approached with a golden gun and took it to show off to everyone. It was a lot heavier compared to the rifle he took earlier.

"This is the legendary, THE EXCALIBUR. With the power of this rifle, the skull of the target headshot will definitely explode. Anyway, you are not allowed to interfere with the rifles here because it is owned by Siege especially this one because it is his favorite. The rifles we will use for your training are in the armoury. Siege just lent them for your study. Hands off you here, get it?"He reminded.

"YES, SIR!"

The bell rang and it was a signal of recess. He dismissed the Junior Agents and with them went to the canteen. He sat down at the double table and the canteen in the training camp was filled with noisy Junior Agents and trainees. He was currently eating a sandwich when Rouge approached him. It sat across from him.

"How are you?" smiling this question.

"It's OK."

He looked at his face carefully and smiled mischievously.

"So, how's the finding a perfect Mommy mission?"

He laughed and was shaken by what it said.

"Stop it. I'm not really serious about it. You, what are you teaching your niece? I know that your the mastermind about that finding a Mommy... I hate you."

"I hate you, too. Don't expect me to respond to I Love you too when you say I hate you!"

They both laughed because of that.

"You deserve to love again, Rock. It's not like you're going to love a new one, you're replacing my twin. It's not like that. Besides, Audrey herself told you not to close your heart for others when she disappears."

Rock's face was serious.

"Dude... I did not close my heart. I moved on to Audrey's disappearance because of Angela. But nothing, I don't know when my heart will beat again to love. Right now his only function is to pump blood to circulate in my body."

Rouge laughed softly but then looked sadly at his face.

"I don't know if I can forgive myself. Because of me, Audrey disappeared, you lost your beloved and Angela lost her mother..."

Rock took a deep breath. It looks like between the two of them - it didn't move on...

"Never, ever did I think it was your fault what happened to Audrey..."

Rouge smiled bitterly and shook softly.

"Thank you..." was its weak language.

He still wanted to talk but he preferred to just keep quiet to cut the topic. Rouge is obviously as uncomfortable. Even then, he did not know how to start when he lose Audrey. He did not know how to raise Angela properly. But he did it with the help of his friends and Rouge. They have been like siblings, ever since.

"By the way, how is your case? Have you got your justice?" Rouge suddenly spoke.

Rock blinked and smiled.

"I'm working on it. I have already conducted a preliminary investigation and later I plan to inquest my suspect."

"Wooh... Good luck!"

Meanwhile, Gracey was relieved as she walked around the living room of her house. When because of Stolen Kiss she was grilled in her own program. She became the hot topic of that night and it looks like the audience will not stop her when they do not know what Stolen Kiss mediated between them.

"It's your fault, hotshot!" she exclaimed.

But she was stunned and bit her lip so hard.

"H-He's getting revenge..." she whispered.

None of her own, she sat on the sofa. She leaned over and looked up at the ceiling like a theme. She was surprised when her phone rang. Is she paranoid?!

"Waaaah! It's your fault, Stolen Kiss!"

She answered the call.

"Hello, Kuya Nado?"

"Sis, your program was trending last night?"

She moaned in frustration. Her Kuya Nado is one of the owners of the radio station he works for. He also side-lined DJ as Hot Papa and occasionally they tandem with some radio programs.

"Kuya..."

"Who is Stolen Kiss?"

She breathed violently.

"S-Stolen Kiss is the guy... Do you still remember the foolishness I made about Ashton and Tracey's engagement?" she bit her lip.

"Uhum. Of course."

"Maybe Candice already explained to you why I did that thing, right?"

"Yes. So, will Stolen Kiss call you again later? Do you know that many are already waiting for him? Many are intrigued by what is happening between the two of you..."

Her older brother's voice was kind of teasing. Is she annoyed because he doesn't seem to care?

"Brother! Are you on my side or what?"

Her stubborn brother laughed.

"Because of him, your show's ratings have increased. He is a blessing in disguise, sis."

"I hate you!"

She angrily ended the call. It looks like her older brother intends to tolerate Stolen Kiss just because of the high ratings?! And what is the replacement? She will be sautéed and grilled on her own radio program?!

"Annoying!... Bad trip!" she roared.

After that she went to the kitchen and got a big bag of potato chips. Taking the potato chips, she immediately transferred to a large bowl and brought to the living room. She traded a DVD to watch a movie. That's all she has to do pastime while she is at home. She does not want to go out right now... It's already difficult and they might cross paths with that man...

Gracey's deep breath was steady as she focused on what she was watching. She is watching The Day of the Dead. As the bloody massacre went on, she was constantly eating potato chips. She almost dropped the bowl she was holding when she heard loud knocks on the door of her house. She laid it on the table and took the remote to lower the volume of the T.V. Someone keep on knocking loudly. Disgusted she stood up.

"Wait a minute! Do not destroy the door of my house!" she shouted.

She adjusted herself and took a deep breath. She was wearing a loose white t-shirt and black shorts. Her pony-tail hair up to her waist is a bit messy. She walked to the door and...

"Who are they?"

A dark blue t-shirt with a sturdy chest opened up to her. She slowly looked up and she was stunned when the man smiled sparingly at her at the same time saying...

"Hello, Graciana!"

Her lips parted. She planned to close the door but quickly blocked his hand. It pushed open the door and she did nothing but back away because he was stronger than her. The man continued to enter her house and she did nothing but retreat and be stunned. He sat down on the sofa, cross his legs and looked at her intently. She was swallowed up in horror.

"E-Excuse me, Mister... What do you need?"

He raised his right eyebrow and smiled sparingly. It looked her up and down, and simply holds his chin.

"You know what I need."

"W-What are you saying?"

"Don't play innocent with me. Or maybe you want me to remind you?"

She smiled awkwardly to cover up the awkwardness she was feeling.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't really mean it! I'm sorry, forgive me!..."

The man folded his arms and leaned back in his chair.

"Just like that? Do you know what you did made me so embarrassed?!"

Suddenly the man stood up and quickly approached her. She looked up at it because it was taller than her. It kept walking and she backed away because of that. She could not speak because her tongue seemed numb with fear. She was stopped from retreating when her back hit the wall of her house. Her eyes widened as it blocked its arms on both sides. She looked at it puzzled.

"M-Maybe we can talk about this?" her courageous language.

"We're talking. You owe me an explanation." its command.

"I-I’m really sorry... I don't want to embarrass you. A-Ashton really should be the one I’m going to kiss, the case... I made a mistake. You are wearing his jacket... I thought he was you, you know what had happen..."

Gracey did not continue what she was going to say. He already knew what she was referring to.

"Hmm... It's clear to me, Graciana."

Her eyebrows met.

"Wait, can you call me on my nickname Gracey?! My name is stinks!" she complained.

The man smiled sparingly at her but the type to tease.

"Eh why? Your name is really Graciana." its a sudden comment.

She looked at his face in disgust and it just smiled even more.

"How did you find out my name?"

"I'm Rock Horrison, Official agent of Men in Action also, a doctor... Did you know that you committed a violation under the rule of ART.143? That was Intimate Assault against an Authority, plus humiliation. Add to that your escape from me yesterday and at the same time throwing a shoe... I am here today to charge you for your sins."

Gracey swallowed. She did not expect that the foolishness she made would bear fruit. She even stole a kiss and she was unlucky! And of all people that she have stolen a kiss was this man! An agent of Men in Action. How silly she was!

"M-Maybe we can fix this?" she hesitated.

"No."

She bit her lip so hard and she had an idea. She smiled mischievously.

"Ow, come on... You enjoyed the Kiss there... And honestly, I enjoyed it too. We both enjoy so it’s just quits..."

A frugal smile flashed on the man's lips and then carefully looked at her lips.
