Chapter 9

Bloom was stunned when Clear suddenly kissed her. She was shocked at what it did. But after a while she gradually closed her eyes and kissed him back. She also embraced it and suddenly lost the annoyance she felt because of the sin it had done to her. What can she do, It was as good as Clear's kiss eh... When their kiss was over, she slowly opened her eyes and she saw Clear's face smiling sparingly while staring intently at her face.

"Am I forgiven?" he asked.

"Pretty..." she hesitated.

The young man sighed deeply and gently stroked her cheek.

"Sweetie... What I did before, that's part of protecting you. You can't see X's face and you shouldn't hear what we talked about. You are out of my job. I do not want to hurt you."

She hesitated to look at the man's face.

"I-In that case, you Men in Action boys... Know Vigilant-Killer X?" she suddenly asked.

"Yes. But all I can say is, don't judge him. He is not really a bad guy. When you learn the story of his life, you will understand why he is so. His in a deep pain. Really deep that makes his heart and soul rotten into pieces."

Bloom took a deep breath. She did not think that it would be very complicated to be involved in the lives of the agents but she felt excitement because she thought that what was happening in her life was extra-ordinary. It is not as dull and boring as before. All of this has happened since she met Clear. She looked at the man who had robbed her before and she saw that he and his children were staring at them. She thinks it is not as bad as her first impression. It didn't hurt her then.

"And what about them? Maybe I have the right to know that?" she asked Clear.

The young man smiled sparingly at her and also looked at what she was looking at. It led her closer to them.

"He is Mang Abner and his children Banjo and Monica, he was not really a bad person, he was forced to do something bad so that he could immediately save money to save his son Banjo from the syndicate. I'm sorry, this is all I can say..." Clear said.

"M-Madam, I'm sorry... I apologize for what I did." Mang Abner said shyly.

She laughed softly.

"Oh, that's okay. I already understand why you did such a thing. But honestly, I was scared of what happened. And one more thing, don't call me Madam. I am not rich. I'm Bloom."

She held out her right hand and they shook hands for a moment. She also met there with the children. After that, she turned her attention to Clear who was watching her closely. She was a bit confused because he smiled mischievously again while staring intently.

"What?" she whispered to the man.

She knew, she was blushing again because her whole face was getting hot. She did not know why she was like that every time Clear looked at her intently. Clear approached her and stepped aside at the same time. He looked at her face.

"Will I be able to recover from you when I take you as my partner today in my mission? For now, my job is to take Mang Abner to a safe place. What?"

She was suddenly excited by what the young man said.

"I think, that's nice!"

"In that case, let's all take a taxi!"

They all got in the car but it no longer looked like a taxi. It just turned black. It immediately propelled the vehicle towards nowhere. Clear's phone suddenly rang. Armand is the caller. He immediately answered the man's call. He is wearing a headphone.

"Yes?"

"Man, I can only give you a little info about your assignment. I can't help you much right now. It hurts to say the least, but I have some fellow policemen involved in the syndicate you are looking for. The rest of it, maybe even officials. I'm really sorry, this is all I can do. I have already given the info of my asset to the weird Junior Agent who loves pink... Who is that?"

"Faust! Anyway, thanks. You don't have to apologize. You're not at fault."

"At least. I have some people involved. But anyway, if you need anything... Just call me. But not the money, I can't lend you money."

Clear laughed.

"I will remember that. But I can lend if you need. "

He heard Armand's weak laugh.

"Really? All right, I have a loan tomorrow!"

But after that it ends the call. Curious that Bloom looked at Clear. She just couldn't help but be curious.

"Who is that?" she bit his lip with a question.

"Armand. My police friend. Do you remember?"

"Ah, yeah. What's up?"

"He gave info about my assignment. I asked for his help a bit and Mang Abner is right because some policemen that he is allegedly involved with so he gave me quite a bit of information. Anyway, are you curious?"

"And that excites?" Bloom's awkward language.

She feels like, Clear is the star of a movie. Clear shook his head slightly and glanced at her.

"My life is not exciting." suddenly its language.

"Your ex-girlfriend, did she know you're an agent?"

"No. All she knows is that I am a rich child. Don't even ask about my ex... I don't want to topic her. She was erased in my life. I am more focused on the present time and the future."

Bloom suddenly bit her lip hard. He really doesn't want to topic his Ex-girlfriend... Anyway, Ex. They stopped at a vacant lot near the beach. The ground there was very flat covered with fine weeds. Clear has an dialled a number on his phone.

"I need a chopper. We're going there. Is there anything available? Okay, I'll text you the coordinates where we were. Thanks, Vince."

Clear looked at his companions.

"Let's get out of the car because later, the chopper will pick us up, we are going to an Island that we own." he announced.

Bloom was stunned. 'Island?'! She rested deeply before she got out of the car. It seems embarrassing to be with Clear. The pretentiousness of it. The young man also got out of the car followed by Mang Abner and the children. Moments later they heard a noise... They looked up and saw a black chopper approaching. Bloom was caught in her hair as it was blown away by the strong wind made by the chopper.

"Come on! Follow me." Clear commanded.

Clear pulled her hand and Mang Abner followed them carefully. He put her in the chopper first and then the children with Mang Abner. Clear caught on board, closed the chopper door and turned to the pilot and his co-pilot.

"Guys, let’s go to El Paraiso."

"Okay, Sir!"

The chopper flew away and Bloom closed her eyes tightly. She was scared, and it was her first time riding a chopper. She felt someone sit next to her and someone held her right hand tightly.

"I'm here. You don't have to be afraid."

She tightened her grip on the young man's hand as she felt them lift into the air. She rested a few times deeply.

"You know, it's better if you open your eyes. You can see the views below."

"O-Okay..."

She slowly opened her eyes and she saw Clear's smiling face. She was stunned when he touched her head and gently guided her face towards the window. He let go of her chin and she was amaze with the beautiful view she sees below. The houses and buildings they pass through seem to be just toys. Moments later a wide ocean view opened up to her and she occasionally glanced at the Islands. She don't think, she will lose the smile on her lips. At first it was scary to ride a chopper. She looked at her companions inside the chopper and saw Mang Abner and his children Monica and Banjo who were also amazed at what they saw.

She turned her gaze back to the view below and she even grabbed the window glass. It's really nice. Clear remained staring at Bloom. She is easy to enjoy simple things and he thinks... That is the nature of her that he is very attracted to. Because he is the same, he prefers the simple things. Why didn't he meet Bloom early? He take a deep breath at that thought and none of his own caresses her hair. Bloom blinked at what Clear had done.

"W-Why?"

The young man kissed her forehead.

"Nothing." smiling its language.

Bloom secretly rubbed her chest. It was as if cold air suddenly caressed her and she seemed to melt like an ice cream. She smiled awkwardly and turned her full attention to the views below but the focus of her brain was no longer there but on Clear. Moments later, she saw a large Island and they were heading there. She saw a large building built on top of a mountain that was somewhat on the edge of a ravine. It is painted white and Greek inspired design. On the shores of the Island you can see cute cottages made of bamboo and nipa. Modernization did little to make the Island. She also saw a huge greenhouse planted with beautiful flowers. The chopper landed on the whiteboard of the white-building. When they got off the chopper they were met by a woman wearing a black dress that was over-knee. Ponytail hair and with light make-up. It was accompanied by a tall man wearing a blue polo shirt and blue trunks. It wears dark sunglasses. The man is as white as Clear and the two are somewhat alike.

"Welcome to El Paraiso!" almost simultaneous language of the two.

Clear smiled at them.

"Bloom, this is Vince. He is in charge of this Island and he is my cousin..."

They shook hands with the man. Clear turned to the woman wearing the dress.

"And Ellie is my secretary, also an assistant."

The woman smiled at her and shook hands.

"Nice to meet you, Madam."

Bloom laughed awkwardly.

"Just call me, Bloom."

Clear turned to Mang Abner and then looked at his secretary.

"Ellie, these are the ones I'm telling you. You already know what to do. I have already given the details. "

"Okay, sir."

Ellie approached Mang Abner and instructed it. After a while, they have left.
