Wounded Soul

Raymond, who had been silent for a while, was still standing and did not move at all, he stepped back and leaned his body on the bookshelves that was parallel to the door of the office, his facial expression was still the same, not the slightest anger or frustration showed seeing the two important people in his life are arguing.

He also understands Helena's feelings at this time, as a worker in the cabal, he does not go through the routine that agents have to go through, the life of a normal worker is easier and simpler than those who have a mission, it is natural in every human being to want to be loved and no matter how hard a woman's heart, the feeling of love for the opposite gender is natural.

Lorenzo continued his work on the table, each file lying in front of him had been divided according to importance, he turned every page of the document, his face radiating a pain and frustration, not against Helena but against himself. The spies he sent in every town and county came with the news that a man linked to a secret society was conducting an active investigation against an agent named Lilith, this is why he did not allow Helena to leave the Cabal, because he knew, if he consented, Helena would disappear without a trace.

"If nothing else please continue your work, Helena believe me, all this is for your good, I'm just thinking about you and nothing else."

Lorenzo's heart sank after he looked into Helena's eyes, 'maybe i shouldn't have taken her to the Cabal, who knows, she grew up to be a person of caliber, and capable of being Cabal's greatest asset.

Helena clasped her hand as a sign of dissatisfaction, Lorenzo is treating her like a child in need of protection, despite how many criminals had died at her hands. Isn't it enough that this hand has taken so many lives, Lorenzo still doesn't have the slightest confidence in her.

Helena was still looking at Lorenzo and shaking her head then with a big step she opened the office door and slammed it with full force. Raymond looked at Lorenzo with a slight feeling of resentment, he smiled sheepishly and nodded his head as a sign of respect and ran after Helena who was in a state of anger. Lorenzo was too restrained with Helena's every action, perhaps that is why she be more and more rebellious day by day.

"Hel, wait! Don't run too fast, I know you're a sprint champion."

Raymond's breath gasped chasing Helena who was walking like in an athletic event, Helena looked back to see Raymond, and saw him bending his body with two hands on his knees like a god worshiping person. He raised his left hand and placed it on the wall to hold on before standing up completely. Helena glared at Raymond and twisted her body as she crossed her arms. Her face narrowed with her mouth twitching looking at Raymond like a boneless person.

After a few minutes of calming down, she became aware of her reckless actions, then she approached Raymond and clasped his hands and placed her head on Raymond's shoulders, like a brother and sister. Raymond looked at her from the corner of his eye and rubbed Helena's head before he brought his head closer to Helena's head. They both stood for a moment before walking without any sound, as if they both was in a deep reverie.

Helena returned to her work station and examined the formula data provided by another fellow scientist. She is making sure the sequence of the formula was accurate so that when they started the experiment, no problems will occurred. In the bustle, Helena's cell phone rang to indicate there is an incoming message, she turned to the phone and saw it was a message from Steve.

[[boss your guess is right, Lorenza deliberately scared you to always think twice to leave the cabal, there are parties who put a price on your head. They don't have your latest picture, just a picture taken when you were in disguise]].

After reading a message from Steve, Helena placed the report on the table and cupped her face with both palms, she rubbed her face several times, irritated by the situation.

The title Lilith given to her by others slowly haunted her. Her long hair to the base of the waist was let go before she re -tightened her hair ties, she folded the sleeves of her lab jacket and took a deep breath before she resumed her work.

Some employees who have information about The cabal always telling Helena that how jealous they are to see the agents in the cabal, it is like watching a spy movie, but they don't know, that the agent's soul is like a wounded soul, whose wounds will not heal forever.

She will rather trade places with them.
