245 Girls Thoughts
“It’s okay, Ava. There’s no way those fellow workers lied to you. At least we now have a picture in mind of how the human warehouses are.” Rachel replied.
“Right now, the Beast Empire is looking for us. They may fra us by committing cris as much as they can to lure us out; considering that we had thwarted their kidnapping actions several tis.” Kathy said.
Emma nodded. “Therefore, we should attack them first.” Then she looked at Kathy. “Looks like we have to use your Drone again, Kathy. I want to check whether the main warehouse is the headquarters of Beast Empire or not.”
**
“Is this position safe?” Kathy asked.
Emma nodded. “It should be,”
A dark green sedan was parked beside a small, quiet playground near a residential complex. The park was located a few blocks from the Beast Empire’s main human warehouse.
Emma’s cell phone rang and she imdiately picked it up. “Yes?”
“I’ve checked all the streets. There’s no sign of any Beast Empire mbers on patrol here.” Jane explained. She was one of the Black Swan girls who rode around on a bicycle to avoid suspicion.
.....
“Got it, Jane. Thanks,” Emma answered.
“Can I fly it already?” Kathy asked, setting up a white object shaped like a four-legged spider with a propeller in each leg and a cara in the middle.
“Yes, you can. It’s safe now.” Emma answered, getting ready to unlock the car as she kept looking around outside to make sure no one was watching.
After unlocking the car, Kathy quickly opened the door and placed the drone on the pavent without getting out of the car. When it lay well there, Kathy pulled herself back inside and closed the door.
Kathy imdiately grabbed the Remote Control which had a screen in the centre. She made sure that all the settings were running correctly so that there would be no problems in flying the drone later.
After doing a quick check, Kathy nodded, “Ready to fly.”
“All right. Let’s go,” Emma said before driving her car to another safer place.
After the car they were in stopped in front of an elentary school, Kathy flew her parked drone. The location of the school was not far from the park, but the location had beco much safer to park the car for a long ti so they would not look suspicious. From there, Kathy’s drone and remote control could still be connected.
The white object flew over the roofs of the houses and arrived at its destination. It was a gray-painted building that looked like a factory with a high gate.
The drone landed on the roof of another building directly opposite the warehouse. Kathy, who was the Drone Pilot, ensured that the cara on her Drone would capture a good picture of the activities that were happening there.
“All right. My baby is sitting well,” Kathy said as she let go of the remote control.
Then she placed it between the chair she and Emma were sitting on; right in front of the gear stick. With that, the two of them would wait until there was activity going on there.
“Well.. Now we have to wait calmly,” Kathy said while taking a bag of potato chips from the car dashboard drawer. She opened it and offered to Emma, ??”Want so?”
Emma smiled as she slipped her hand into the chips’ bag and took a few. “You like snacking, don’t you?”
Kathy nodded. “Of course. If you’re bored, you can’t stand to have a snack, can you?”
“Anyways, can you teach to fly a drone?” Emma asked, chewing on her chips.
“Sure,” Kathy answered. “But this is a bit difficult. Although it looks easy, flying a drone is not like controlling a toy car even though both use remote control. In flying this thing, there are many things that you have to pay attention to: Such as altitude, balance, magnetic field and others. Why? Is it because you’re going to use it to spy on the enemy?”
Emma nodded. “In our group, you are the only one who can fly Drones. It would be nice if soone else could do it so it doesn’t depend on you alone.”
“Well, you have a point. Then I’ll teach it to you later,” Kathy nodded, occasionally glancing at the screen on her remote control.
The two of them sat in silence for a few minutes while enjoying potato chips and watching the screen showing the situation in front of the Beast Empire warehouse which was very quiet.
“It’s kind of boring, isn’t it?” Kathy asked.
“But co to think of it, isn’t this just like taking a break?” Emma replied.
“Well, I think you kind of right. Co to think of it, we’ve been super busy lately. But why doesn’t it feel too tiring? In fact, it feels like ti is really tight.” Kathy said.
“Perhaps it’s because we really enjoyed it?” Emma shrugged.
“Possible,” Kathy nodded once before throwing the chips into her mouth.
“Emma, ? since we’re alone like this, I wanted to ask you sothing, can I?”
Emma turned to the girl with curly red hair in a ponytail. “What is it?”
“Honestly, I’ve been seeing Marcel a few tis recently,” Kathy answered in a whisper.
Emma’s eyebrows rose. “Really? And then?” she tried to look normal even though she was so excited and curious to hear what happened next.
“You... do think that I’m getting close to him, don’t you?” Kathy narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Emma.
Emma instantly chuckled while rubbing the trunk of her neck. “Well.. is it really that obvious? I’ve been holding back my expression, to be honest. Haha..”
Kathy gave a curt snort. “I need to tell you this, Emma: Marcel and I aren’t close at all. We just happened to see each other a few tis. But we didn’t talk too much,”
Emma nodded slowly. “Then did sothing happen that you decided to ask sothing?” she asked carefully.
“Actually, I’m a little curious about Marcel. You know, right.. I was one of the dozens of girls who idolized that cool guy. But when I found out a little about his personal life, I was quite surprised. After that, my view about him changed,” Kathy shrugged.
“Do you have a bad view of him?”
“Not really,” Kathy replied. “But I feel sorry for him. I just realized that during the recent tis we’ve seen each other, Marcel seed exhausted. It seems that after that incident, he beca quite devastated,”
“Well..” Emma nodded with a thoughtful face.
“What happened to Marcel is a huge thing, Kathy. He is a man who is afraid to lose what he already has. Since childhood, he has been through a very hard life. When suddenly all of his achievents disappeared, he must have felt a great emptiness. What happened to him made a big change in his life, indeed. I can’t really tell what happened to little Marcel. But believe ; it was the worst thing that could ever happen to a child’s life.”
“Although I don’t know exactly what happened when he was little, for so reason, I feel like helping him, you know..” Kathy muttered to herself. Then she looked back at Emma. ??”Can we do sothing for him?”
“I’m not sure about that, Kathy. I’m honestly a bit awkward when I’m too close to n. You know.. For ntal and emotional problems, it must be done with a personal approach. Whereas n and won who are too close will most likely end up not being good..” Emma explained doubtfully while imagining the case that had happened to herself and Levi.
“You an, there will be feelings growing, isn’t it?” Kathy guessed.
Emma nodded a little. “More or less. I think it’s an undeniable thing,”
Kathy looked a little sad, then let out a long sigh. “That’s kind of a sha. I don’t think Marcel has any good friends to talk to. He seems lonely,”
“Since you two are both still single, isn’t it fine to be close to each other? I an.. you might be able to help him by yourself, right?” Emma said thoughtfully, looking for the right words to convey her thoughts without making Kathy think that she was suggesting her just approach Marcel right away.
But Kathy seed to have realized what Emma really ant. But she didn’t feel awkward about it. She understood that she and Marcel were both ‘Single’.
“I don’t think I can do it, Emma,” Kathy replied thoughtfully.
“How co?” Emma raised her eyebrows.
“From the start, I never thought that I would beco close to Marcel. After you talked about male and female relationships, I realized that if I were close to him, there might be a special feeling in my heart. I don’t want that kind of feeling to exist for Marcel. I just want to be a fan of him like I’ve always been.” The green-eyed girl replied.
Kathy’s answer made Emma think of soone. That’s right, what Kathy said was almost the sa as Levi’s. They were both trying to contain their feelings; didn’t want a special relationship for unknown reasons.
“Sorry, but why do you think so?” Emma frowned.
“Because I feel a little scared of Marcel,” Kathy chuckled.
“What?” The confused look on Emma’s face grew clearer.
“It’s not that kind of fear. Well.. how to explain it, huh?” Kathy seed to think. Then, she continued when she found a good way to say it. “I feel like he is on a way-higher level than . It’s not like I’m looking down on myself, but we are both very different in every way. You know.. Marcel is Prince Bold. If I were together with him, maybe it won’t look fine since I’m soone who idolizes him,”
“Are you afraid of deifying him too much?” Emma pulled out a point.
Kathy snapped her fingers. “You got my point, Emma. When I’m with him, I feel like losing my true self because I like him too much,”
“Wow.. That’s a new way of thinking,” Emma replied thoughtfully.
“Have you ever been a fan of soone or really liked soone?” Kathy asked.
Emma shook her head innocently. “I.. don’t think so,”
“That’s why you find my way of thinking is strange. It’s because you don’t understand how it feels,” Kathy said as she reached into her chips bag.
