"Hey, it's been a while" Lucy started, her voice soft and warm, quickly calming down.
"Yeah, I've missed you a lot"
Lucy paused on the other side for so seconds, her breathing coming out a bit heavy and then she replied.
"Yeah, too. I also miss you Marcus, but there's sothing I have to tell you."
Lucy's voice ca out strained with a shiver to it.
"What is it, you know you can tell anything honey."
There was a pause on the other side for so seconds and then Lucy spoke.
"I won't be coming back, Marcus."
"I see, so I'll have to co pick you then. Where are you."
"No. Things between us are coming to an end Marcus. I enjoyed the ti I spent with you, but it's ti we part. I called to tell you goodbye."
"I'm sorry, but that can't happen, it isn't ti for us to end and it never will."
"Marcus, things don't go like that" Lucy called.
"It doesn't matter how things work Lucy. I love you and you love . That's enough for to tell you that after I'm done beating the shit out of Mike, I'll co get you."
"Marcus don't..."
"Shhhhhh. Don't think about it. I've never failed you and I never will. It sounds like I'm preaching to you a fantasy but I want you to believe in that fantasy."
I don't know what happened but imdiately after those words, the line went dead.
I imdiately tried to call the number but found myself unable to connect with it.
Though I was in the middle of an airport with several people moving left and right, for several seconds the world went silent and I breathlessly waited for a notification.
When up to minute went by and there was no ping, I let out a breath I did not know I was holding, a warmth filling as my mind went back to the task it had been previously handling more focused than before, but then,
[Ding! Punishnt loaded.(1/2)
Punishnt: Kill the John Strokes, the US secretary of state.
PS: Mission is to be completed within the next 20 hours
Reward: Will be delivered upon completion of the mission.
Failure: None]
"What" I roared in my head.
I wanted to contemplate the punishnt I had just been given but then my head buzzed with information from earlier today.
"John Stokes, US secretary of state in England to et Secretary of foreign affairs."
There was a lot my mind wanted to process, but imdiately my feet went into action and I was heading for the sa boarding gate, Mike had just been through.
Mike and about two people had been the last on the line and as I got to the gate I was imdiately before a tall fair woman.
[Daddy's apple -4000PSPD]
[Aura multiplier x2 -3000PSDP]
[Honest lover – 4000PSDP]
"Hello excuse , how long is this flight going to last"
The woman already had on a smile before I approached her, but when she turned to , her smile brightened and she leaned forward with interest.
"This flight is a direct one, so it's 11 hours, any problem sir"
"You see, I'm a student at the university and my mother who lives in London is terminally ill, the doctor says she can die at any ti and I need to get to her as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, I was unable to purchase a ticket in ti and I was hoping you could help.
Please, she has no one, she'll die all alone if I don't get there."
A hard expression claid the woman's face and seeing where she was going, I quickly brought out a stack of money.
"Sir," she said in a hushed tone, pushing the money I had brought out to my chest.
"Hide that" she hissed looking around the gate. Other than her, there was a security man with a scanner but he wasn't focused on us as he was looking away.
While the woman looked around, I made another move to ensure success.
[Suggestion spray -5000PSDP]
"You will find great pity in my situation and agree to let board the plan believing that you can co up with an excuse if I was ever found out."
A second after I had given the suggestion, the woman who had been out of it focused back on and to my surprise she still had on a hard expression.
Just as I was beginning to think I would need to take extra asures she let out a sigh.
"Follow "
"Check him Jerry, he's troubleso one," she said. Waving to go towards the security man ahead.
Sceptically looking at , the man moved his body scanner over my body and then waved by.
"Is he giving you any trouble?" Jerry asked as I moved to et the woman.
"No, everything is fine, I'm just going to hand him over to the girls at the bridge.
Nodding, the lady waved to hurriedly follow her.
"Thank you," I said from behind.
"It's okay, I know how you, feel. I was also a student when my mother fell ill"
"Oh" I said and though I dreaded to ask, I had to ask.
"What happened."
"It was the scariest ti of my life but thankfully she made it."
I let out a breath of relief at the fortunate ending but then was surprised when she turned to and closed the distance.
At this ti, we were halfway into the bridge with no one whether ahead or behind us.
"After surviving my mother made promise to give her grandkids in the next 3 years and well this is the second year.
Back there when you ca up to , the second I looked at you I felt butterflies in my tummy.
I don't even know your na, but I believe you're the man I've been searching for all this while.
Here's my card, I won't force anything but if you get back and you think of , call ."
The card the lady handed to was dark and covered with golden flowers, on it was her number and it was there I learnt her na.
"Ciara Fargus"
Giving the card, Ciara turned and continued walking ahead.
"The story is that you lost your ticket but have been able to prove to that you were ant to be on this flight. Business class has seven free seats, I will be assigning you there."
With this story, Ciara and I approached the hostess at the door of the plane and after Ciara was done talking with her I was allowed in.
"Seat 22E"
