It was already dusk and Riza went home earlier than usual. It was because Roy finished his paperwork on time. She had just finished taking a shower when she heard a knock from the door.

"Who is it?" Riza asked as she walked nearer to the door.

"It's Maria. Sorry for disturbing you, Riza. We have a special mission." Maria said.

Riza quickly opened the door and let Maria in. They both sat on the couch and talked over the said mission.

"A mission even if we're off duty? The military is so ruthless." Riza remarked. "What is that about?"

"Well, you know, it's Valentine's Day. According to our source a killer is lurking around the city, dating every woman he saw, and then killing them. They said he always stays at the park at night to look for a victim. Incidentally we're the only girls on colonel's team, so we're the only one who can do this mission successfully. We have Denny in case something goes wrong." Maria explained as she gave Riza a paper containing the remaining information.

"Is that why you are wearing a dark blue dress, a pair of dangling earrings, high-heeled shoes, and make up?" Riza asked, and then chuckled. "I'm sure Denny enjoys looking at you the whole night."

"I really don't like wearing this. But I have no choice. It's a part of the plan. You should wear something like this, too as a disguise." She uttered.

Riza nodded and quickly ran up to her room and browsed her closet. After some minutes of looking, she found a décolleté lavender dress with a length that just passed her knees. She immediately changed her clothes and combed her hair down. Then she put on her make up and earrings to complete her disguise. She placed her gun inside her lavender pouch and went downstairs to go with Maria.

Maria was amazed on Riza's "disguise." "Wow! You look great! You should wear it more often." She suggested.

"At work? I don't think that's a nice idea." She smiled as they both went outside to accompany Denny in the car. Riza went into the car first. Unexpectedly, Maria fiercely pointed her gun to Riza's back.

"You don't have time to pull your gun from your pouch. If you move just a little, I'll shoot you." Maria warned as Denny started to drive the car.

Riza was surprised of Maria's actions. "Maria, I thought we have a mission to finish. Why are you doing this?" Riza asked. She was confused of what's really happening to them.

"Sorry, our mission is to capture you, dead or alive. It's an order from a higher rank so we can't refuse." Maria uttered before pulling a long cloth and covered Riza's eyes.

"But, why me?" She asked.

"Why not you?" She smirked and tied her hands with another cloth.

As Denny stopped the car, Maria assisted Riza to walk, and she's still aware of the gun pointed at her back. Riza felt they were walking up on stairs, but she had no idea where they were going to. 'Capture me dead or alive? What was that meant? If I die here, I won't be able to protect the colonel. This is not good. I should do anything to get away from this danger. But Maria is just obeying an order. If she didn't capture me, she'll be dead.' She thought.

Riza felt the cold breeze slightly blew on her body. Maria released her hands, but she didn't remove the cloth on Riza's eyes. "Don't remove that cloth on your eyes unless we told you to do so." She remarked as she ran away downstairs.

Riza stood there and after a few minutes, a male voice spoke behind her. "You can remove that now." He instructed.

She pulled away the cover from her eyes. After seeing a blurry area, she gasped in amazement of the place.
