♪♪You can be the peanut butter to my jelly,

You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly,

You can be the captain and I can be a first mate,

You can be the chills that I feel on our first date.

You could find it weird for two damsels wearing evening fancy gowns with black mask covering their faces, seeming beautifully aesthetic and looking innocent while holding a sniper and pistols, locking on someone and securing an area for a mission.

Yes, call it weird but we exist.

"Sniper ready, give me a target," I said as I aimed the sniper and sighted 100 meter distance.

"Faramis, the lycanthrope like guy. He is surrounded with naked ladies, aim at the 67th floor from the building in front."

"Copy." I answered after I heard the information from my earpiece. These gadgets are hella on fire, they are indeed amazing. No one could deny the fact that Dawn Organization is the best and most advanced agent Organization in the world.

"Hey, that's my line," Lesley, my agent buddy pinched my shoulder, "How dare you!" She chuckled.

I smirked and laugh in a small tone, "And that was supposed to be my line, lady."

"Whatever. It doesn't matter anyway," Lesley sighed and aimed her pistol as she secured the area while I'm searching for our target, "I have no idea why you're holding my sniper while I'm guarding you from behind. I am not your sidekick, you bitch."

I chuckled, "Ask the officers. They smoothly changed our tasks, bitch." I said without gazing at her direction, "And besides, securing the area is much harder than locking targets, you fucking know that."

It's true. Running around while shooting everyone attacking you is much harder than bending your knees down and aiming your sniper as you lock someone.

I don't know why the officers in Dawn Organization swapped our position. Maybe because Lesley got injured in her past mission. But despite having injury, I know she can still aim well since she's a pro handling her sniper while I can do all the jobs around to secure her area. I can even jump off this building to chase some idiot criminals or guards just to protect her. I am skilled with pistols and physical abilities in closer ranges while she can stay from a distance and shot every person going against my way.

"Those officers really know how to handle bulkhead agents," I blurted and smirked. "Aim bitch, I just found that damn Faramis."

She laughed and looked around. We are buddies and we do not care with such bitches nicknames as long as it's the both of us.

"Sure, bitch. I guess his servants are now looking for us, this will be a bloody night again."

I have known Lesley for being such a kind and adorable lady. We easily became friends since she was the first one to welcome me in the Dawn Organization. The long braided haired lady is naturally friendly, so we got along that easy as we became buddies along our missions.

♪♪You can be the hero and I can be a sidekick,

You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split,

You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'

Or you could be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

"Seriously Baroque, are you not distracted with your stentorian music?"

I roared, "Stentorian? This isn't even loud enough for you to hear."

"How could you listen to your music while listening and talking to me and heeding at your earpiece at the same time?" She asked. "You three-time badass."

"That's what you called phenomenal ability, Vance." I smoothly answered.

"I understand now why Lancelot keeps on scolding you."

I gasped when she mentioned my brother. Some of the agents doesn't know I have a brother, simply because I introduced Lancelot to everyone as my boyfriend and it was fucking hilarious.

"Stop mentioning random persons, the officers can hear us through earpiece. They might be laughing right now," I warned.

She chuckled, "Well, I'm just afraid your boyfriend might be so worried knowing you're in a mission right now."

I snarled, "Shut up, Vance."

The officers might be laughing their asses off now while eavesdropping with our conversation. I still have no plans on revealing the truth to everyone. Only a few, certainly most are officers, knew that Lancelot is my brother. And it's funny how everyone react when Lancelot visits me in our headquarters.

"Set, Vance," I whispered as I saw our target sitting in his swivel chair with ladies around, "Target locked."

"Always, Baroque. Now do it."

"♪♪Don't know if I could ever be,

Without you coz boy you complete me,

And in time I know that we'll both see,

That we're all we need," I sang along the song to calm myself. It might be weird to everyone but I find solace while listening to music and doing my task at the same time.

"Nice voice," someone talked behind the earpiece.

I shut myself for a second. I almost forgot we don't have privacy here, these annoying officers can freely hear everything.

Lesley laughed, "Wow, got a compliment from officer Vale. That hot guy might be looking over you from the camera,"

I cringed and growled, "Oh please, Vance, they can hear us for fuck's sake shut your mouth."

I can hear people laughing from the earpiece, they are certainly the eavesdropping officers.

"We got a new ship, huh." A voice from behind talk. "Agent Guinevere and Officer Vale will be a good couple, I suggest another mission for the both of them."

My heart raced. Are they serious? I am not nervous being with Officer Vale, I'm cringing about the ship they were talking about.

"I can't wait for that. Please assign them together, Ms. Lunox," Lesley mocked.

"Oh shut up,"

I focused myself. Everyone noticed my sudden serious mode, meaning I am ready to fire my bullet anytime.

"Ready," I began.

"Ready." Lesley answered.

"Ready."

I sighed and sighted carefully. I only have one target, it's Faramis, and it's kinda hard since there are naked ladies stripping and dancing around him. I must shot that pervert before he could pound any lady around him.

"Aim well, Baroque."

"Copy officer Vale. Target locked." I answered and casted my index finger as I menacingly closed my other eye for lucid vision.

I could feel their smirks while I was talking with officer Vale. I guess they are serious with that shipping thing. Whatever it is, I should get over this and leave with Lesley.

♪♪'Cause you're the apple to my pie,

You're the straw to my berry,

You're the smoke to my high,

You're the one I wanna marry.

I carefully locked Faramis' head, and when I was certain enough to shoot him, I counted on my head. Three, two...

"One..." I trilled and pulled the trigger.

The bullet went on a slow motion despite of it's raging speed. In a blink of an eye, the building in front wrecked as the mirror from the 67th floor cracked. The ladies screamed as they witnessed how Faramis' head exploded with a single bullet from an unknown sniper.

"Target down," I smirked and stood up beside the shocked Lesley.

"Damn, fucking unbelievable."

"Target down, I thought she would fire plenty of bullets before she could hit that Faramis. It's so dark, our agents are awesome after all."

"You are fucking awesome, buddy." Lesley tapped my shoulder and catched her sniper. "I'm gonna fix then and we'll go,"

I nodded and prepared my Arcadia machine and tool AutoMag III, .30 carbine 9mm Winchester Magnum.

"Let's go," Lesley said indicating she's done fixing her sniper. She carried the bag containing her sniper and immediately followed after me, "To the rooftop."

I nodded and doubled my steps to reach the door fast.

"Move faster ladies, the guards in your building were triggered. Vincom Landmark's sentries are heading your way, ride the nearest elevator first. You cannot go at the rooftop now, there are guards waiting."

"Just why are they hunting us, we are not the bad guys," I hissed.

"Come on Baroque, you cannot expect them to calm down when you just shot the CEO of Faramis Building in their loving floor."

"Fine, this will be a bloody night then," I said as I skip another walk to reach the elevator. "Come, Lesley."

"On my way,"

"Remember, never shoot someone unarmed." Vale reminded.

"Copy," Lesley and I said in unison. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds before the occupied elevator opened.
