xxi: confrontation
Irene is not delusional, especially when it comes to her job or what she wants to achieve. The older girl knows how to identify her objective clearly, and she had always been a responsible person that always fulfill her tasks. She heard a loud crack in her chest the night Jisoo sanctioned her doubt about Wendy, but the two went on dating peacefully since no one brings it up. Irene didn't want to ruin the time, but she was sure that Wendy knows who she really is. Irene still enjoyed Wendy's accompany, even though she persuaded herself that the good time will eventually end.
Moreover, it'll probably end tonight.
Irene shoved a stun gun into a small back that that straps across her hip, and she was dressed in very casual clothes that were prepared by Jisoo. To Irene, the happy days that she enjoyed with Wendy was over and she doesn't want to be on the rejected side, so she'll end it herself. Irene walked down the stairs of the agency calmly and glanced at the clock hung on the wall.It's 12:20, midnight hours.
---"She's on the move," Wendy reported over the phone to Seulgi, but her eyes are too focused on the petite figure so much that she practically forgot she was on the phone. Seulgi had to yell at her a few times to knock her out of that state. The brunette is crouching on a rooftop of a high building with binoculars and she's spying on Irene.
Taeyeon had organized a meeting with Wendy, and they both agreed that Wendy can interrupt this mission, get Irene's intention and she can report the case as finished. Wendy was struggling to argue against her boss, but she eventually understands and agreed. She always felt guilty and shame, especially when she sees Irene skipping through empty streets just to get to the school building. Wendy can guess how important the mission is to Irene, and she can feel how much passion Irene has for it.
Well, it only makes her grew more uncomfortable. But Wendy had been fighting in this business long enough to have the gut to do it, and it had been the first time Wendy hesitate on doing a mission. The brunette hopped after Irene, and they ended up at the school office.How predictable.
Wendy sighed heavily, but it was quiet as no one heard her when she stood only meters away from her target. She needs to refrain Irene from doing whatever she wants, and it doesn't sound too bad to her. Irene, now, had all her equipment ready and is eying down the two cars approaching the gate. The older girl raised her hand up to get a signal, and raid of shots from guns came firing down at the car's tires.
Wendy's eyes widened of how vicious Irene was, she didn't expect a rookie to go this far. The brunette ducked behind a large bench and watched as men poured out the car and yelling loudly.
"These people really don't know how to be sneaky," Wendy grunted as she gasped a picture of the shooter hiding on top of the opposite building.
She crawled under the benches with her eyes pressed on the petite figure of Irene, who had been under the car after the men escaped. The older girl was watching the men walking into the building and curses under breath. Irene wondered if the principal was in there too, but that won't really matter anyway.
Irene went up after the men rushed in, and another man lurked out of the dark. It was Eric, who had a snapback on his head and was carrying a load of knives along with a gun. Wendy covered her mouth and tries to calm herself down after seeing how many weapons Eric carries. It won't be a problem, but she hates the hospital too much to end up there.
"He's in there," Eric said with his tiring but very strong voice.
"Are you planning to go in?" Irene asked as she starts walking, slightly out of breath.
"I'm getting this promotion," he replied in a softer tone as his muscle tensed up.
The two tip-toed into the building furtively, and Wendy is still outside watching them. She can feel Irene's determination to do her mission through her attentive and cautious move, and it doesn't seem right to stop her. Taeyeon also said Irene's not doing any illegal, so she might as well-
Wendy smacked her cheeks to regain her mind as she had been controlled by her emotions too much. Her job IS her job, and she'll do anything to finish it; being in a relationship with Irene is too much of a stretch already.--"Fuck, I saw that stupid woman coming in with her hand raised." a man in black suit grumbled with a cigarette in his mouth.
"What?" the old man who laid comfortably on his chair jolted, "Who?"
"A girl, sir." The men replied in unison, almost bordering on a messy and loud chatter in response. Smokes were everywhere.
They formed a line in front of the old man, it's for protecting him by shielding any potential attack, but it was no use. Irene has been planning for this too long for them to react. A dagger dashed out of the glass behind the principal and dug deep into his chair. The old man let out a crooked gasp, he didn't dare to turn around.
"You all are under our watch, and our snipers are pretty hungry tonight," Eric announced on the school radio, where Irene told him to break in.
Irene appears behind the man, she had a cold, black gun in her hand and she was walking calmly. The men didn't move, they CANNOT move.
She smirked, and gently pull off the dagger in the chair and put it up the old man's throat.
Irene's eyes were frightening, her irises were cold and soulless. She still had the principal forced on the chair and he can't turn around. His sweats were visible, and she raised her eyebrows."Now-"————
"Irene!" A voice interrupted Irene's overflow of satisfaction.She recognizes that voice, it's a female voice, it sounds young...Moreover, it's Wendy's voice.
Irene's chest hurts slightly when she heard the yelp, and her brain went blank for a moment. Her eyes were dull, and the grip on the dagger got harder. The principal helped when he saw the blade moving closer to his throat.
The older girl gazed were lost, and at the end of the hallway, another girl slowly walked in. Wendy didn't want to startle her lover at all. She wanted to do the opposite, she wanted to calm Irene. Wendy would dare to assume that Irene is boiling excitement when the brunette saw her face. Irene face dropped after Wendy appeared, and all the men gasped as they reached for their guns.
One of them immediately got shot in the shin and stumbled down painfully as he winced, another guy was shot at his back. It was Irene's snipers on the mission, and Wendy gulped as she knows she can the next one lying on the ground even with her protective clothes. Agencies always equip their snipers well, she fully know. The little secretive shooter can be the key to victory.
Well, of course she's aware of that.
Wendy gulped as she walked closer, and Irene's blade is pressing onto the principal's skin.
"Look, I really-""You really love me, so what." Irene interrupted and Wendy sighed heavily, her face had gotton slightly pale and scrunched.
"Irene, do you love me? Is our relationship serious?" Wendy continued, despise how furious Irene was at her question. It's rare to even see an upset Irene.
"I DO love you, and?" Irene laughed sarcastically, her blade drew blood, the principal was yelling for help from the men.
"Don't tell me apologise, I've been too long on this to give it up. Wendy, you would've understood." She added bitterly, "I just need him dead."
