Working Hard

Noell didn't dare to look at Nathan. She blushed, it seemed like she had just offended him a little bit to keep his promise because she would be waiting for him.

Nathan could no longer hold back his happiness and pulled the woman into a gentle kiss. And she was returned the kiss. When a man and girl smooch under morning sun shining through the gap between them. They are like a perfect silhouette in that morning. Noell lowered her head when the kiss was over.

"I will not be in a hurry. Enjoy your single life from now on, babe." Nathan walked away leaving her there who was still staring at him with a flushed face.

Noell could not repay his actions when she was too excited by that man's romantic behavior toward her today. Where did he learn that? She could not believe that his change in attitude could be so romantic.

"I will not accept your proposal, Nathan!" Shouted her and he just let her shouted then go away like he never hears that.

"Who will propose to you?" He asked jokingly. And a second later a small bag was thrown off and hit right on his forehead. Noell went berserk and they ran away from the cemetery with the new hope they had built.

This morning there was no special schedule for Noell. She was the arrival in casual clothes into the office, of course, her ID card hanging in her shirt pocket. And everyone immediately understood because she off duty today. The world is upside down if she doesn't work a day. They had all believed, if she did absent from work in a single day without reason, there would be a hurricane coming to hit the city. Well, that's how ridiculous they all are.

Noell walks casually. Her green bead stared at the people passing by in front of her, once in a while she lowered her head too for them, and left. A familiar sight for her. Although she disliked formality, in fact almost every day she ate that formality. Do you know?She will choose fish even though the meat is much tastier and expensive. She will be herself.

Her long legs carried her into her team's study. After passing through several large doors, finally, she arrived at the front of her team room. She came to work on her mourning day with four cups of a latte on her way here.

She is not used to complaining about trivial things such as the taste of coffee grounds that they drink every day. The taste is just like coarsely ground coffee beans and still leave coarse grains when she brewed.

Noell sighed for a moment. Throwing away completely the pesky aura covering that room door. She swore, looking at that door it's was like seeing a door to another world. Black and dark. And black aura like coming out from the door gaps. Like describes the gloomy life in the room. She shook her head for cleaning her weird imagination, then she entered the room.

"Noell?"

Noell immediately Tom's face to face when she opened the door. She seemed to smell unpleasant curse odors when she saw Jarred was sitting on the sofa in this room. Not to mention when her eyes saw the pile of documents on the small table. She immediately cursed silently. She laments herself attend for work today.

"Where are you going?"

Kenny stared at her as if he was telling his misery with his stare. His eyes glanced over the documents on the small table before he passed by her just like that in silence. Realized something, Noell patted her forehead while she walks and grumbled towards the sofa.

"I didn't know we'll compile papers like high school kids. Isn't this childish? Boss?" She's grumbled right away and immediately replied to by Jarred with a concerned gaze from him.

He seemed to be trying to say with his gaze, 'Oh darling, it's not only you who suffer'. Noell rolled her eyes lazily. She rudely picked up one of the ordner. From the weight alone she felt like vomiting. Hey! Who wants to make a case study with this much data. And she shook her head again in frustration.

"Damn! This is a file five years ago. For God's sake, I want to bang my head so I can get amnesia now." She said muttering curse from page after page when she opened that ordner.

"Good morning everybody!"

Findley entered the room with a fresh expression on his face. Oh? He didn't know Himalayas mountain was above his head, ready to fall at any moment. Findley accidentally looked at the coffee on the small table and immediately slurping it while sitting opposite Noell like without sin.

"Oh my God. This is the best taste coffee I ever drank in this office." Said Findley over-excited, and then stared at the pile of documents in front of him. He looks confused when he stared at Noell and Jarred in turn.

"Who will move here?"

Noell nearly slapped the large ordner in her hand against Findley's face. He can never be sensitive to his surroundings.

"Oh? There will be some people who come. Looks like some of them will play the circus here." Noell replied sarcastically.

When she looked at Findley cynically, their door room suddenly opened. They are Kenny and Edd come with another pile of paper in their hands. Instantly she shouted in frustration.

"Okay! Enough! Enough!"

Edd and Kenny smiled in resignation. They embrace each other, trying to strengthen each other's patient. Findley a second later rubbed his face.

"Err... I think I'll go buy breakfast first."

"Findley!" Noell crossed her arms and glares at the Findley without mercy. "Sit. And. Work!"

Findley immediately looked at her with a pitiful face. He dragged himself back to the sofa and lost his zest for life because of this work. Edd, who was secretly influenced by the madness in the room, looked at his colleagues one by one.

"Right! We're a team. We're going to be sick together, OK? After this please bring a referral letter to which hospital you guys want to visit. I want us to be together in the hospital when we stay overnight. Okay? Agreed?"

Said Edd was getting crazy. Meanwhile, Kenny immediately unbuttoned the top of his uniform and rolled up his arms as well. And when Noell stares at Findley, she almost lost her spirit when she saw him muttering in his prayers.

"Damn it!"

Noell cursed and immediately started her job. Seeing her comrades only made her more stressed.

-L District-

"Are you sure about this? That's Nathan, right?"

"You forget who I am? I'm sure it's him."

"Great, then what's the boss's message?"

"Don't act rashly. The whole world is paying attention to his current gestures. I suggest that no one is TOO SMART to take the initiative. His men are not as good as you are,"

"Very well. I'll give the news to the others,"

"Good. Immediately record, in three days from now. Prepare well,"

-District Headquarters interrogation room A-

Edd gets a special call from the interrogation building for information on that man. He walked a little excited because he left the room that was super boring to get the document.

Tell now, who will stand in the room with Noell who cursing every minute? While they were there sorting out the case documents for their investigation of Nathan from five years ago. What's the goal? Only for state archives. Meanwhile, the case documents they are investigating have been requested by the secret state archive ward to be kept. And must have direct approval from the President to open the ward doors.

Because they had received news that the door of the ward would be opened by the President, like it or not, Noell and her incredible comrades workaholic have been wasted the time five years for working off that document cases. And now, they are harvesting that document cases with great care and curse every time.

"So how?" Findley asked directly.

They are in a small interrogation room with a large glass that shows the man yesterday who has been hypnotized by Maharaja Noell. Since yesterday he had been bowed down so resignedly like he had no enthusiasm for life.

"We've made sure we have absorbed all the information from this person."
