Speculation

Smile

Dainty's Point of View

It was seven in the morning but Jake is still not home yet, so Vincent and I started thinking even more.

Did Jake do anything? If yes, what did he do?

"Dainty, maybe your speculations are wrong. Jake is RD's friend, right?" Vincent break the silence between us by asking.

"I don't know..." That three words are the only words that I can say right now.

I saw Vincent sighed and did not talk anymore. I kept quiet too because I do not know what to say now.

"Let's just wait for him." I said again and Vincent smiled before handing me a coffee. I accepted it because it smell so nice.

Vincent and I are busy having coffee in the kitchen when we heard the doorbell rang. I thought it was Jake so I stood up and quickly opened the door for him.

But to my surprise, I did not see Jake, It was Ken Montero who showed up with his usual attire. He looks so intimidating, it's not surprising, he's a boss after all.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, puzzled.

"Maybe you want to let me in first? I haven’t had breakfast yet." He answered and laugh like everything is fine and well.

This guy can really laugh after what happened to his cousin?!

He went inside even though I did not let him in. He went straight to the kitchen, and I followed him like I'm his dog. What the hell?

"Mr. Kendrix!" Vincent gasped in shock. Is he afraid of Ken Montero? I think he is, it's obvious on his reaction.

"Woah! Agent V! I did not expect to see you here." Montero paused and smirked at me sarcastically before looking again at Vincent. "Do not tell me that you are still watching over this woman?" Laughing, Montero asked Vincent that so I raised an eyebrow. Vincent nodded at him so I am raising both of my eyebrows now.

What does he mean? And since when did I need a guard?! Do I look like a kid? I know I'm clumsy and sometimes got in trouble but I'm not a kid who needs to be look after and I'm not a celebrity that needs a bodyguard.

I saw Ken Montero sat down at the table and started eating like this is his house while here I am standing and leaning at the wall with my arms crossed and glaring at him.

How dare he eat the sandwich I made without even asking if he can eat it! He has no manners! I glared at him more and he did not even care, he just glared back.

"You know what, agent V. We both know that my cousin just agreed and accept my offer to have someone to look after him because of that woman." Montero added and pointed at me.

What is he saying? And that woman? Does he not know what my name is? RD literally introduced me to him! Do not tell me that he forgot my name that fast? Wow, what a rude man he is.

"Yes, Mr. Kendrix. He said, he knew that Dainty would be affected of this mess so he agreed. We know that Boss RD can protect himself but he's afraid that Dainty will be in danger so he did not have a choice."

Montero looked at me like I am a unwanted guest before he spoke again. "You're right, my cousin knows how to protect himself but he's unlucky because he puts that woman's safety first, never minding that his life is more dangerous."

When he said that and the way he looked at me, I felt my blood suddenly boiled. So I approached him slowly while still glaring.

"Are you blaming me?" I asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, I am blaming you."

What the hell?! This guy is really blunt! I want to slap him but I'm afraid that he'll get really angry with me.

"Wow! Coming from you who always receives death threats? And just silence everything through money?! You know if you're not being foolish on handling your company, it won't all end like this! RD wants a normal life but in the end he became the one that is responsible for your problems!"

He smirked. "You know about that? Well, it's not surprising that my cousin told you that. But you know, now that I found out that you know a lot of my secrets, I feel like I want to kill you." I was shocked by what he said and he even have the guts to smile at me. He looks and sounds so creepy! He looks like a monster.

"But I won't kill you, I can't, even if I want to. My cousin sacrifice his life for you and then I will just kill you? I'll become a worthless cousin then." He said and ate again.

"You really are worthless ever since." I said and Vincent looked shocked.

Montero laughed for a moment and got serious again. "Nothing will change if we continue to argue about it now. Renz Dennis, my cousin is already gone. I don't want to kill you even though I now know that you know a lot. You are important to my cousin, he wants to protect you. But you're really not safe here."

Some time later, he put some paper on the table and spoke again.

"These are the plane tickets. You can decide which country you want to go. I will take care of everything that you will need. Just stay away from here."

I smiled. This one is really arrogant.

"Wow, Ken Montero. Is that the way you thought on how to keep my mouth shut?" I asked a sarcastic question.

He glared at me and he looks like he want to kill me. He is really different compared RD. Sometimes, RD is soft-hearted person while his cousin is so rude all the time.

"What do you want? You want me do to you what my cousin did to you? I will let you live in my house? Hey, I don't even know you and I'm not as kind as my cousin. I do not even know why my cousin treats you like that. As far as I know, he does not want trouble. I thought he wanted a normal life? But I'm surprised that he lives with someone like you. Maybe he wants to live with a noisy person after all."

Is this guy really RD's cousin? He speaks below the belt and I hate him more for that.

Ken's Point of View

Who is this woman? All this time a person like her is living with my cousin?

"I am not leaving. I am not a coward like you." She said and drink some water.

I raised both my hands. "Well fine. It's your life, if you want to die then I'll let you die, do not put the blame on me."

I just continued my meal, this one is so stubborn. It's like I'm talking to Renz. I shook my head and finish eating the sandwich.

Later, the three of us stopped eating when someone suddenly came and went here to the kitchen. He is wearing a bag pack and he looks tired.

"Jake!" Vincent greeted him in shock.

But we were even more surprised when Dainty suddenly grabbed a knife and immediately ran in the direction of the man named Jake and aimed the knife she is holding on his neck.

What a great sight.

"What have you got to do with RD's death?! You'll speak you will lose your neck!?" Dainty shouted at the man who was now shocked and raised his both hands.

"Dainty, what are you doing?" Vincent sound confused.

I, on the other hand, can't speak because I'm really going to laugh at Dainty. She looks crazy.

"Hey Dainty --- ha ha ha. What are you doing? Put that down. You're scaring me." The man named Jake said while his voice is shaking.

I honestly can afford to stop Dainty but I'm having fun watching her. So I also told Vincent not to stop Dainty. He hesitated but he still followed me.

"Give me your bag." Dainty said and until now, the knife has not been removed from the man's neck.

"Dainty, I know the loss of RD hurts but we don't----"

"I said give me your bag!" Dainty shouted.

Oh, what a cruel girl.

"Just give it to her, man." I interrupted them and smirked.

The man's eyes widened when he saw me. Just like what I expected. Slowly, he handed Dainty his bag. He didn't even try to fought back, especially when I took out my gun and casually played with it.

Vincent on the other hand, seems to be really confused of what is happening. What happened to this agent of mine? Dainty feels to be more useful in this situation. Is he really that shocked?

Dainty immediately opened the man's bag and showed us two guns, three bombs and flowers. I think that this guy is even courting someone.

"Black roses?" Vincent asked as he frowned.

We also found a large amount of money and a picture of Renz with a big X mark.

Dainty again turned his attention to the man and aimed his knife again at him.

"You? Jake! What have you got to do with RD's death?!" She shouted as tears started falling on her eyes.

"Dai --- Dainty, I'm sorry. I was just told to do so. They gave me a large amount of money. I'm really sorry, I'm regretting it now, believe me!" The man answered. Dainty let go of the knife she was holding and walked backwards while her shoulders are trembling.

Vincent looked angry but he can't moved. While I am already torturing this guy in front of me inside my mind.
