Misunderstanding

"Noell! For god's sake! Hurry up and get there now! There are two speedboats behind the back wall!" Noell is getting impatient.

"Show me the coordinates,"

"Right behind the garden tool shed!"

BANG! BANG! 

"Detect the surrounding area," Noell swerves as many bullet shooting at her car.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit," said Noell directly.

She immediately maneuvered her car and crashing towards the shooter so hard. Instantly rifle laser aiming at her car. Snipers on top of the building it's too late for began to participate. Noell didn't know what the snipers up there were doing until the intruders entered the palace they don't know.

The sound of gunfire was instantly silent. Noell immediately ran to the location of the speedboat, but when she will reach the wall two hundred meters in front of her, Noell saw Alden there standing on the roof of the equipment warehouse and then gunfire was inevitable.

"Ken!"

Noell chuckles annoyed when communication with Kenny was cut off.

Bang!

Her sharp green eyes glanced around when the sniper fired the bullet and made all the guards put their vigilance. Noell also took advantage of the time lag created by the sound of the sniper firing which breaks up the commotion of bullets in the western area.

"Good. Only now participating?"  scoffed Noell.

Noell jumped quickly and aiming when Alden off guard,Noell released her bullet and hit right on his left shoulder. Then Alden stopped the rhythm of his shot, Noell won.

With the remaining bullets, Noell then ran in the opposite direction and immediately ran to stay away from Alden, hiding behind a tree and then her sharp gaze staring at the head that was visible behind the stone fountain.

Noell did not need to sneak around him because she was barefooted when she walk up the grass. Instead of shooting his head, she with one blow immediately made that man fainted. Punch directly on the head area.

"Pay attention to your surroundings when hiding, you fool," Noell said, seizing that man's weapons and immediately running west again.

She found no more noise when that speed boat went away.

"Damn it! They get away!" She cursed and immediately climbed the wall, watched with her own eyes Nathan and Alden away from the west wall with speed boat.

"Damn!" She rubbed her face roughly. Then jump down to the bottom and returning to that man who collapsed earlier. She dragged him towards near her car and then Noell regulate her breath.

"You and your bastard boss, will one day pay for all this," She said cursing Nathan viciously. Noell handcuffed the man and then several cars approached her.

"Noell! Are you all right?"  Kenny immediately asked her with questions and try to check her condition. He saw her very bad appearance now, why that dress end up like that? Noell nodded for answering that question.

"Get rid of my car immediately. Secure the remaining speedboat. Find one more body, and bring this man to headquarters," said Noell who then entered Kenny's car and try to control her emotion.

Noell was very annoyed at that time. She only silent when the last sight she saw was Nathan who looking back at her. But with a terrible grin there. Noell had thought if it was not Nathan, she's hoping everything that happened earlier was not real. 

But when he kissed her and taste that damn lips, Noell gets a headache when she remembering that act, she gets mad. Noell massaging his forehead gets pain.  Again, the strange feeling just she felt.

"Take me to the control center, Mr. President must be looking for me now," Kenny nodded. Leaving her with her reverie on other things about Nathan.

***

The party that night went well. The officers immediately cleared the location and closed all information from the media crew. No one people inside knows how stressful it was when the sound of bullets shooted to each other outside the building. Noell sat pondering with a jacket draped over her back.

Her face was not at all friendly.  Even Kenny and Findley didn't have the guts to bother her at the moment. She staring with that deadly look was enough to choke them to death. But it is different from Noell. Her mind was so chaotic that it felt like she needed ice water to be splashed on her head.

Noell furrowed her brow when she remembered a flashback of that incident. Her body suddenly stiffened because something from Nathan disturbed her mind. Noell swears that Nathan will not rebel at this party. If he has a brain, of course, it needs careful preparation to come President's building. Noell sighed tiredly.

Noell stares at her hand, a lot of blisters from the elbow even broken toenails. She is very chaotic. Her feet were bleeding and blisters because she ran around without wearing footwear. Her dress is dirty with soil stains everywhere. Even when she saw her reflection from the mirror, her makeup faded and her hair, somehow her hair could move to the left.

Noell groaned in embarrassment. Why no one rebuked her. God damn it. She immediately washed her face and she ties her hair. Make her looked a little refreshed face.

"Noell, come with me," someone said to her. Noell followed suit.

When the door opened, there were already her teammates along with some of the President's personal bodyguards. President's face was very pale once she entered the room. She wonders where the happiness face of the President is cheerful one when welcoming guests with joy. Noell sat in a chair.

"What really happened?" The President asked her directly.

"..."

"Noell?" Noell was silent for a long time when the President asked. At the very least, the President must also know.

"... he came to find me," She answered, making Kenny and Findley glance at each other.

They could not hide anymore because Nathan was only obsessed with Noell. That's why he is always around her. Watching over her even they to the point of physical contact many times.

Noell also explained at length. And immediately made the President bow his head deeply. He strengthens his fist because he tries to hold emotions. Anxious to beat someone up when he sighed and tried to calm down. Noell glanced at Jarred there who folded his arms. The president finally nodded his head with a calm expression

"I'm a little calm now. At least, we have his weaknesses right now. Noell, I hope you understand what I mean, " She nodded.

"At least he is after you because you are the one who saw him. And maybe he will not let you take a healthy walk around them now," the president said. Kenny and Findley glanced at each other again.

That's it was less precise right when the President said that. Because the reality is, Nathan is involved in a romantic relationship with Noell and will be his main agenda to get Noell. No matter how he trying to get her.

Noell then explained the remainder of the incident to be included in the notes. Including punishing several guards for being negligent in their duties. And the meeting that night, finally closed.

-In Nathan's Office-

"Damn it! Damn, damned girl!" Alden cursed loudly.

He bound his left shoulder with gauze as the blood running down from hole shot. Alden had managed to pull out a bullet on his shoulder. It's just that, without anesthesia the pain is excruciating. Alden was very annoyed when he seeing Nathan there sitting comfortably, holding wine and smiling like an old man sucking a cigar in the balcony home.

Like a father who hears his son hitting a neighbor's child because a neighbor's child is so insolent, Nathan smiles fatherly at Alden. His eyes did not give the slightest gaze of sadness or concern to see Jason moaning in pain before him. Alden snorted harshly.

"Don't you see I'm in pain here? Stop that damn look. My wound is more painful when I see it," Alden said emotional.
