"Kevin…"
Uttering that name, Elizabeth frowned deeply as she said, "I have a lot of questions."
"I know and I'll be answering all of them shortly," With a nod, Kevin continued, "But for now, you should take a rest first."
"Excuse me."
Out of nowhere, Ellie stood straight and stared at the arriving Kevin. As her eyes narrowed, she stated, "I thought I've already said that there won't be further discussion before my friend recovers from her injuries."
"My apologies for the unannounced visit, Miss Ellie. But I've come as a friend, not a military officer."
"I don't think that-"
In the next morning, when the sunlight beamed through the room's window, Elizabeth was roused from her slumber and found a nurse already standing beside her whilst writing some stuff on a note. When the nurse noticed Elizabeth's look, she smiled and greeted her, "Morning, miss Elizabeth. It's time for your morning medicine.""...Medicine?" sitting up, Elizabeth moved her eyes and saw a glass of water, a bottle of pills, and breakfast tray beside them. Tilting her head, she asked, "What kind of medicine?""It's to speed up your muscle regeneration, increase your blood and make your body immune. The bullet penetrated deep until it reached your bone. Added with the blood loss, it's a miracle you haven't died yet and still could move around in that state, miss Elizabeth. We even have to do a surgery to take out the bullet. Come, with thi
Offering her hand for a handshake, Elizabeth smiled without replying. As he was her gesture, Kevin smiled back before he shook her hand and said, "Glad to work with you, Elizabeth.""I'll be in your care, Kevin."Giving Elizabeth a pen, she took it and signed the contract right away. When Kevin put it inside his bag, he looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling better now?""Yeah, I do." sighing heavily, Elizabeth gazed upon the window and mumbled, "It's a miracle that I've survived that…"Her eyes widened, she turned to see Kevin and inquired, "By the way, they blasted my door into pieces the last I saw it. My house… Is it alright? Is there already a new door?"
As she walked to the parking lot of the hospital, someone was already standing there right beside an expensive sports car. When she spotted him, the man noticed her too and waved his hand high in the air. Smiling wryly, Elizabeth walked to his direction and greeted him."Sorry, did you wait too long, Kevin?""Not really, I've just arrived here," shaking his head, Kevin went to open the door of the car and gestured to her to come in, "Shall we?""Of course."Going inside, Elizabeth looked at the interior within before Kevin arrived at the driver's seat and began to activate the vehicle. Soon, they entered the street and Kevin raised the speed while he glanced at Elizabeth, "Are you feeling nervous?"
Recalling the time when she was called into the police's station, Elizabeth widened her eyes as realization dawned on her. Rudy, who after shrugging his shoulders, turned his body and walked as he said, "Come Kevin, the others are already waiting."With a frown, Kevin sighed before he sent a glance at Elizabeth with a wry smile, "Forgive him. He's never the one with manners.""Oh, it's alright."Following Rudy's lead, instead of going to the main building, they went to another smaller place but with more soldiers around it. When they first passed the screening security at the front, they arrived at the corridor where Elizabeth found herself entering a lift at the end of it and Kevin clicked a button on it.As
When she entered the room, she saw expensive furniture within the living room and a group of people sitting on the couch around the table. Cards were piled on the table with some of them staring at the cards in their own hands. Yet, the moment the door of the room opened, their attention was shifted to it and they saw Elizabeth and Rudy standing there."A newcomer?"Suddenly, a voice fell on Elizabeth's ears and made her flinch in the next heartbeat. Meanwhile, Rudy sighed before he clapped his hands and a transparent barrier with him at the center expanded throughout the room in a few seconds.A glowing humanoid purple could be seen in the previous spot where there was nothing. Seeing the unknown presence, Elizabeth backed away with wariness while the purple fig
"This is…"After introducing herself and being guided to her room, Elizabeth took a quick shower before someone knocked onto her door. When she opened it, she saw Kevin who stood with a box on his arms and he offered it to the confused Elizabeth out of nowhere."Something that you will need later."Her interest piqued, Elizabeth carried the box to the table and found that it was lighter than she had expected, despite its size. When Kevin gestured to her to open it, she grabbed a scissor and took a look at the inside without hesitating.When her hand touched something sort of fabric, she pulled it out and saw a black vest with four small pockets around the waist. With an ominous feeling emerging, E
Half an hour after following Erna's lead, both of them arrived at some sort of Italian restaurant within a building that was off limits, even for the esper. Yet, with Erma's influence, somehow they both managed to get inside and the sight within brings back the memory of when Elizabeth accompanied Ellie to some family's gathering in the past."Looks not bad right? The food won't be a disappointment, I assure you."With a smug smile on her face, Erna leaned her hand with her hand as she gazed at Elizabeth."How do you know this kind of place? Why are they only allowed to get here?" probed Elizabeth while she looked around. Observing the expensive decorations littered around the room, along with a bottle of champagne and bread that looked pricey and delicious no ma
When the sun was about to set on the horizon and a touch of blazing orange filled the boundless sky, Elizabeth wore the bulletproof vest given to her underneath her clothes and placed the stun gun on her waist. She wore jeans and a jacket despite the temperature wasn't even that cold. After she was done, a series of knocks sounded on her door and Elizabeth went to open it.As she had expected, it was Kevin who appeared. An apologetic smile formed on his face, he spoke out before Elizabeth could say anything, "I'm sorry for coming to you this late. Even though I promised to teach you how to use the stun gun yesterday, this morning and noon I was preoccupied with a lot of stuff, so…""It's alright," imagining how Kevin must've been busy with the preparation, Elizabeth smiled and said, "It's an important day and we have too
