Chapter 8

Chase, Venom, Aeon and Nexus are currently climbing the side of the building. The four of them will enter the museum to pick up the blue print. They climbed the building one after the other until they came to a small window. Nexus carefully removed the glass then and they went inside one by one. Velvet, Sky, Rouge, Clide and Aidan are waiting outside. They will be the back-up. Gabrielle and Faust are in the restaurant opposite the building. There were few people in the restaurant and they were seated on the side where they could see the whole area.

"Miss Gabrielle De Jesus?"

She looked at Faust in front of her. He played with the cup of coffee he was holding. He was wearing a powdered pink t-shirt and black denim pants and his handkerchief lying on the table, pink... His hair was messy and his tangled bangs covered his eyes slightly. She frowned and hesitated to look at the young man.

"You don't like pink either, do you?" she hesitated.

A simple smile flashed on Faust's lips.

"You think I'm gay?" its straightforward language.

"Pretty..." she answered honestly.

He laid down his cup on the table and simply looked around. It just relaxes and does not show any tension in the body.

"Pink is my mother's favourite color."

She looked at the young man in amazement.

"You seem to be close to your mother. We are the same. I'm sure, she is very proud of you."

"Hope so... You, are you also close to your mother?"

"It's too much. She's the only parent I have."

Faust frowned.

"Really? How about your Father?"

Gabrielle let out a deep sigh.

"I don't know. I just grew up without him."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"You? How are your parents?"

Faust drank coffee in the cup.

"They're fine. They're in a good place now and peaceful."

"Sorry..."

"It's okay."

She looked at the Junior Agent in front of her. She can't seem to believe that it was recruited by Men in Action because it has no life to speak of. It looks like a lame nerd. Faust called the waiter and ordered their food. Faust speaks sparingly, but she always tells the story of things as long as there is something to talk about. It answers her questions.

"You can be my sister." she said.

A weak laugh of the lost young man.

"I look older than you so it's awkward if I call you sister. Why didn't you add height?"

"You're annoying."

"Just kidding."

"That's not funny."

"Anyway, do you want to find your father? I can do it as long as you say so."

She smiled sparingly at the young man.

"Thank you, Faust. I don't want to."

The young man frowned.

"Don't you want to see him to criticize him or say everything you want? Don't you want to complete your personality?"

"I've been complete for a long time. I'm not interested in him because I don't exist in his life."

"Consider my offer."

Faust was a little naughty about that thing.

"All right, I'll think about it first." she just answered.

Meanwhile... Chase and his group carefully walk inside the museum. Nexus leads their group. He turned into a hallway and saw a man walking around to watch. He walked carefully towards it and when he had time he quickly pulled the man to the corner and the tranquilizer stabbed his neck. He signaled to his comrades that it was okay and they followed. This time, Chase was the first because he knew where the painting they were going to take was. He went straight to the hallway until he reached the location of the yellow-roses painting where the blue-print they stole was placed. From the pocket of his gear he took a small bag and threw the gunpowder all around.

A thick white smoke appeared all around along with the green lights. They are all wearing masks and they look like professional thieves. Their attire is all black.

"You can do it?" Aeon whispered to him.

Chase looked at the lasers around. He shook slightly and stretched out his hands.

"Yes." his arrogant language.

He walked forward and began to avoid the lasers scattered around. The first step is to bend over and crawl. He then stood up and leaned over. He staggered carefully and crawled. He could barely breathe as he passed the maze of lasers. Shortly, he reached the painting. He looked there for a few seconds. He carefully took the painting in its container and boom! All around was illuminated followed by the appearance of armed men all around. All the guns were aimed at their group.

"Am I saying that there is a thief in our contraband! The courage of you thieves!" language of the leader of the terrorists.

"Just work, man!" relax Venom's language.

The guns were pointed sharply at them. Chase shook slightly. They already expect this scene because they can easily get through.

"It's easy to talk to me. I'll bring it back." Chase just said.

He looked around and calculated what he would do next. He raised the painting to show that he was serious about returning then. He slowly approached the wall where it was hanging. Even before he could finally restore it, the terrorist leader suddenly fell, followed by the others. They took advantage of the opportunity and acted quickly. They preceded the enemy in shooting and knocked them down. Chase was led by his comrades to run out because he was holding the painting and he was the target of the opponents. As he ran, he was shot but his companions covered him. Clide, Rouge, Sky, Velvet and Aidan entered inside firing bullets at the opponents. Clide threw teargas at the terrorists' whereabouts causing a commotion. They took advantage of the enemy's confusion and quickly followed the direction in which they fired at the same time firing the gun.

Meanwhile... Gabrielle stood up slightly in her chair when she heard a series of gunshots inside the museum. The attention of the people there in the area was focused.

"Just relax and sit down. Our job is to see if the opponents have any back-up."

"But..."

"They can do that. Don't you trust them?"

She stared at Faust.

"Aren't you worried?"

"Worried. But I can't help if that's all I can do."

Faust glanced outside again. It's even depressing and it seems like nothing is happening here. She stared at what it was looking at. Nothing is coming.

Meanwhile... Chase's group went down to the building and he was carrying the painting where the blue print was. A few moments later Clide's group followed.

"The speed ah?" comment by Nexus.

"Tsk, amateurs." Rouge's short language.

Junior Agent Guile and Archie are waiting for their get-away car. They got inside the van and Chase immediately picked up the blue print on the back of the painting. Using a flashlight he illuminated it to see clearly.

"Extraordinary, this is for a chemical weapon ah?" he exclaimed.

His companions looked at it.

"It's worse than we expected." Comment by Rouge.

Meanwhile... Gabrielle was staring straight outside. Police arrived at the museum.

"Are you done?" Faust suddenly whispered to her.

"Yes. I've lost my appetite before."

It let out a deep sigh. Faust called the waiter and paid their bill. After that, they left.

Gabrielle sighed as they reached the headquarters. Siege handed her a white envelope. She looked there.

"Your salary, Miss De Jesus." Siege whispered to her.

"I don't know if I should accept it." she hesitated.

Its forehead furrowed.

"Why?"

"I didn't help anything..." she said softly.

It smiled at her.

"Believe it or not, you helped us a lot. Chase's spying inside the museum was not noticed because of you. That was a big deal for us. You also helped with Faust's monitoring. Another, we risked your life in those moments. You deserve this."

She did nothing when Siege put the envelope in her right hand.

"Hopefully, we can work with you again." He said smiling.

Chase approached her.

"Are you alright? You already got your salary. Come on, we're done with the meeting. Let's go home and rest." Chase said one after another.

"All right." she just agreed.

They went to the parking lot together and immediately got in the car. Chase immediately started the vehicle.

"Gabo, why are you quiet?" he asked.

She looked at it.

"Because Faust..." she hesitated.

"Why? That ghost-gay scolded you?"

She laughed softly.

"It's not like that. Ahm, he offered me that if I wanted to... He will look for my f-father." she could hardly even mention the word father.

Chase glanced at her slightly.

"Accept it. That weird rarely offers that."

"I said, I'll think about it. I don't know if I want to see my father. I mean, I’m a little confuse... What if Faust finds him and we meet?"

"Tsk, I can't answer that Gabo. But if you're not ready for that yet, don't."

She let out a deep sigh. Suddenly, opened the part of her personality that had long been gone. She carefully considered whether she would accept Junior Agent Faust's offer.
