Stepping inside the building after years

"Mistress! Duck!" Mark shouts loudly, and reaches his hand out, as soon as Rhea hears him, she ducks down, but the person succeed on grazing her shoulder. Rhea grunts and flips back, clenching her fists, as electric sparks from her body. The person who failed at killing her, steps back, terrified, Rhea can't sees their face, since they're wearing mask.

The person continue to steps backward, as they didn't noticed Mark is behind them. Mark grab their shoulder when they're in range, as the person jolted and falls to the ground, begging for forgiveness, "P-Please! F-Forgive me! I-I didn't mean to!" Mark glares down at them and pulled them by their collars, "Why did you want to hurt Mistress?" He asked raising them up and lean his face close to them.

"I-I c-can't tell you that!" The person said, Mark clicks his tongue and balled his left fist, as claws appears. "You want this beautiful claws digging up on your neck?~" Mark asks drawing his claws closer to the person, as they widened their eyes, and shakes their head vigorously. "N-No!" They stutters.

"Then tell me." Mark growls, trying to make them speak what's behind their act. "B-Boss told me to kill her and brought her to him!" They said, "And who is your boss? Tell me names." Mark said his eyes gazing sharply into theirs. "I-I can't tell you!" They said resisting to tell him, "You shit of piece!" Mark rampages and throws them to the ground. "Tell me!" He shouts completely lose his cool. "Mark! Calm down!" Mikazuki said appearing from behind him and grab his shoulder.

Mark takes a deep sighs, "Right, I'm sorry." He apologies as he retracted his claws back. He stares at the person before him, and recognizes a familiar logo on their left chest. "You're with that organization don't you?" He asks, the masked person widened their eyes and quickly covers their logo with their hands.

"No need to hide it, I already know." Mark sighs and rests his hands on his hips. "What I'm curious is…why are you bunch aiming at Mistress Rhea?" He asks frowning. "I-I can't answer you anything! If I does, He'll punish me!" The masked person said, terrified, his body shivers just by thinking how he will punish them. They hugs their knees and sobs, while muttering inaudible words.

Mark looks at them, before looking at Mikazuki who is beside him, "What should we do?" He asks, Mikazuki thinks for a while, "Can we take them to boss?" She asks back, "I'm not sure. We'll have to knock them out then." Mark said, "Good idea." Mikazuki smirks, "I should get the car ready then." Mark said and runs away from the alleyway to get his car.

Mikazuki calmly place her briefcase in front of her and grab a sleeping drugs, she insert the liquid inside the syringe she's holding with her left hand. After she was done, she walks to the masked person in front of him and grab their exposed wrist, piercing the syringe in, as the masked person cries louder, and tries to knocks Mikazuki, but the effect kicks in, as they instantly falls to the ground, asleep.

"That was a weird reaction." Mikazuki sighs and put the syringe back in her briefcase. She grab the masked person arm and wrap it around her neck, she looks at Rhea who is still mouth agape, doesn't have a clue about what happened. "You better go home. Or something worse than this going to happens once again." She said, as Rhea stares back at her, struggling to find a word to use.

"…Where are you going?" She asked, "Boss place." Mikazuki replied. Rhea closes her eyes for a while, and clenches her fist, she seems to have an arguments between her heart and mind. She raises her head to look at Mikazuki again, she bit her lips before saying, "I…can I go with you?"

And…Rhea ended up in their car, since Mikazuki allowed her to come, but Mark has the opposite reactions, he doesn't agree on letting her, he doesn't think she and her father have some mutual relationships, but Mikazuki comforted him and tells him they're gonna be fine. Besides, it her own will, Mark gives up and let her to go with them.

Rhea gazes out the window quietly, as the masked person sits beside her, still unconscious, Mikazuki on the seat in front of her, busy with her tablet, multiples articles is shown inside her tablet, while Mark is driving, focusing on the road, since he can't risks a life here.

After 30 minutes, they've arrived at Tempest Inc. A tall, big, and flashes with light building, a big parking lot. Mark got off from the car and opens the rear door, grabbing the unconscious masked person, as the others two get off shortly.

Rhea stares at the tall and big building in front of her, it's been a couple of years she haven't got here. As she noticed a couple things has changes from when she was here. "Let's go." Mikazuki said looking back at her and motions her hand, Rhea get her attentions off of the building appearances and follows them inside the building.

Mark goes somewhere, hidden from the public eyes, or employers that works here, leading them. they walks along the hallways, as they can hear their own footsteps. They arrive in front of an elevator. They stop there, the two digs inside their pockets, pulling out an ID card, and scan it on the scanner beside the elevator.

"Mark Hendrix, Mikazuki Kira. Please step in." An metallic, electronic voices said, as they step in the elevator leaving Rhea behind. Rhea looks questioned and step forward, "Unidentified, please shows me your ID." The robotic voices said, stopping her, Rhea frowns and thinks for a while, does she ever brought her ID?

"Use your watch." Mikazuki said, interrupting her thoughts, Rhea looks at her watch, and slowly brought it screen closer to the scanner. "Rhea Tempest. Please step in." The robotic voices said, allowing her to get in, as Rhea steps in the elevator. Mikazuki then pressed the highest floor, which is Connor's office.

A long silence occurred, as none of them started a conversation, until Mikazuki does, "When was the last time you got here, Mistress?" She asks, breaking the silences. "5 years ago. Victoria didn't allow me to go here again since I've turned 13." Rhea replies to her questions, "I see…that's a pretty long time." Mikazuki said.

After a while, a ding was heard as the elevator door opened, Mark stepped out from the elevator, followed by Mikazuki behind, as Rhea followed behind her. Rhea was supposed to follow them until they arrive at Connor's office, but she wanted to go to the restroom, she remembers where the restroom, but she didn't remember where her father office is. She then left them, without one of them noticing where'd she go.

It took her a few minutes in the toilet, she likes the toilet here, it's clean, like the ones in cinema's toilet, clean. After she was done, she goes out from the toilet and wash her hands in the lavatory. She then dried her hands on the hand dryer, feeling the warm winds from it hits her hands.

She then go out from the restroom only to feels someone bumps to her, "Ah, are you alright?" She ask kneeling down and helps them with their scattered papers. "Here." Rhea said without looking to their face and gives them the pile of papers. "Thank you." The person who bumps into her seems like a woman. "No problem." Rhea replies and get up. She noticed the woman struggles to carry the piles of papers, "Can I help you?" She asks, "No, I can take care of this myself." The woman said.

Rhea stares at her, as her face is covered with the piles of papers. Until the woman looks over the piles of papers, staring at Rhea who is standing in front of her, 'Shit! It's the bitch/Tempest kid!' The two thoughts surprised when they sees each other faces. "Excuse me." Luciana said excusing herself an walk pasts Rhea, "Wait! Where is old man- I mean, father's office?" Rhea asks stopping her, Luciana sighs and says, "Follow me, I'm heading to his office."

"So…he won't speak?" Connor asks his two agents, who is standing in front of him, "Yes, boss. He won't." Mark said, "If he won't speak, use force." Connor said darkly, "Yes, sir, understood, we'll be back in another 5 minutes." Mikazuki bows before going off to a room inside Connor's office, with Mark following behind her.

"It's getting more complicated…" He sighs and rests his head on the desks, until someone knocks on his door, "Come in." He replies, "Sir, this is the assignment." Luciana said putting the piles of papers on the edge of his desks as he releases a groan when he sees the assignment. "Also, there is someone you would like to meet." Luciana said stepping out from the way to reveals Rhea who is standing near the door.
