AN: Here is another chapter for Undercover~ ^^ I will very soon have three new chapters up. One for Doll, one for My Real Unreal Friend and one for Stars and Stalkers. ^^
I decided to get into those stories again, so I can finish them.
Rosette got out of the car and smiled "Thank you very much for bringing me here, Chrno." She said. She stepped back when Chrno opened his own door and got out. The driver drove away.
"Uhm…" she began puzzled "I really don't need any help anymore." She actually didn't want anyone to follow her. She wanted to sneak inside, get done what she had to get done and then sneak back out again.
He grinned "I had to get out here too."
"Oh…" she followed him as he started moving towards the big front door. He opened it and walked inside. Rosette hesitated a little, before she followed him. He smiled "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe right now." He reassured.
"I don't feel that I'm in danger," she huffed "Obviously that boss character is out on some killing tour at the moment as I see no one other in this building than us."
Chrno grinned "He prefers it to be left alone you know? Not many people know anything about him and he likes it that way." He told her "Even though all know where he lives, he can live in peace because he is so unknown."
She wanted to ask Chrno some more questions, but he stopped and turned around "Where do you live? It's pretty late and I don't want to be the reason for your lack of sleep." The sun had long begun to set in the horizon.
"Oh no, is he sending me away? I want to snoop around though, now is the best of time when he isn't home… what do I do? Oh, I know." An innocent smile spread out on her face "Would it be too troublesome if I could spend the night here?" she asked "I have a very far way home and I don't want to walk through the darkness all alone…"
Chrno looked her in the eyes and after a while he smiled "Alright, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't, though I am very surprised that you dare."
She smirked "Better in a house than out in the dark street…if I have to choose I will definitely choose the house."
Chrno let out a hearty laugh "You're funny, but come then, let me show you the spare-room."
She wouldn't stay there for the night of course, she would only rummage a little through the cupboards and drawers and then disappear, taking all important papers and stuff with her. Chrno showed her the different rooms "Here is the kitchen, the toilet, the living room~~" and so on. In the end he stopped in front of a big wooden door. This one looked different than the other doors.
Chrno turned to look at her seriously "This is a private room; I have to ask you to not enter it under any circumstances…"
"Private… s-sure." She managed a big fake grin and glared determined at the door as Chrno led her further down the hallway. He stopped a second time at a white door "This will be your room until you leave." He smiled "I hope its okay to you."
She opened the door and peeked inside. She gasped as Chrno turned on the light and she could see the whole room "It's so beautiful…" she whispered amazed. Chrno chuckled "Thank you."
She turned around "Will you be staying in this house too?"
He nodded "Right down that hallway around the corner is my room." He told her "So if you need anything, just knock."
She smiled "Thank you, but I think I'll be okay from now on." She said and shooed him out "Night."
Before she could close the door though, a foot prevented it "There are no ladies' clothes here though… you'll have to take one of the shirts from the drawer over there."
She nodded "Thank you I will, now shoo, out so I can get my beauty sleep." She pushed him out and slammed the door. Then she leaned against it, with her ear pressed against the wooden surface. She heard his fading footsteps down the hallway.
"Thank you Chrno, now I have time to take a little look at that private office." She smirked. She waited a couple more minutes until she was sure the purple head had gone to sleep. She peeked out onto the now empty, dark hallway and snuck out of her room, when she was sure the coast was clear. She glared down at her high heeled shoes "Why do they have to make so much noise?" she hissed and took them off.
She soon reached the big door and pulled at the door handle. Luckily it wasn't closed "Lucky must be my second surname." She whispered triumphantly and hurried inside. She silently closed the door after her and turned on the light. The room was a huge office. Everything a rich man should own was there. Hunting trophies on the wall, a big old fashioned fireplace, a big desk made of what looked like mahogany. Many antiques were decorating the walls and shelves. She shook her head and out of her daze "I have work to do." She reminded herself and begun.
She walked over to the desk, where a black fancy leather chair was standing. She smirked and took a seat "Mmm… how comfy… I should really get one of these of my own."
She opened the drawers in the desk and started examining all the many papers that were found in it. She pulled out a briefcase that looked quite suspicious and opened it.
"Bingo!" she grinned and walked to the other side of the desk, her eyes still glued on the papers in her hand. She turned to some papers which already were lying on the table and started going through these as well. She found a lot of useful things "What? He really wants to do that?" she let out her small comments every once in a while. It was almost like reading a crime. She planted a little microphone in one of the plants which were standing on the desk "There, soon I can leave this place." She whispered triumphantly.
"What are you doing here?" An angry voice suddenly called from the door. She gasped and dropped the papers she had just been reading. She spun around in dismay and saw Chrno standing in the door, his eyes turned into an angry glare.
"Didn't I tell you to stay out of this room?" he asked, crossing the room to stop right in front of her. She took a few steps backwards "I couldn't find my way to the bathroom." She said. His eyes landed on the pile of papers she had dropped "Then why were you rummaging through private stuff?" he asked, narrowing his eyes further.
"I didn't!"
"Then what did you do?"
She was thinking for a while until she answered "I want to work for him, and since I'm going to be one of his employees I wanted to know what exactly he does."
Chrno sighed "Then why didn't you just ask me about it." There was clear annoyance in his voice.
"Because I thought you had gone to sleep and I didn't want to wake you up." She huffed and crossed her arms.
"Rose, I know you're lying." He stated calmly "I can see it in your eyes."
The blonde grit her teeth and narrowed her eyes. She could still just kick him where it hurt the most and make a run for it, but she would probably be hunted by the Sinners for the rest of her life for knowing too much if she did.
"What are you gonna do to me now?" she growled "Are you going to hand me over to your boss?"
"I have to think…" he mumbled with another sigh "I actually like you… I don't want to hurt you to be honest."
"Then let me go…"
"I'm afraid I can't do that Rose." He muttered "You have shown me that you aren't trustworthy... you could be from one of the Sinners' enemies for as far as I know."
"But I am not!"
"You are untrustworthy and will remain here until you have proven me the opposite... That's my final word."
She cursed inwardly. She was in trouble and there was nothing she could do. Images of her legs being placed in a bucket with cement and then her being thrown into the water flew through her mind. She hated situations like these.
