Koko lets out a moan of frustration as she sat on a queen sized bed with a bottle of white wine on the night stand beside her. "My schedule is so packed tomorrow!" She complains in front of Jonah, Valmet, and R. "First, I have to retrieve the weapons from the ship, load them up on some delivery trucks, head back to the opposite side of the head to deliver the weapons, park the delivery trucks, then head to meet this lady that the company said was in need of help...!"

"Did you already explain... Just, take it easy and have a drink, Little Miss", R suggests. He then lets out a yawn and starts for the door. "I need to catch some sleep before my shift comes up for security. Night."

"Goodnight", Koko and Valmet replies.

"Valmet", Valmet's earpiece says. "You're swapping in with Tojo. Stay on high-"

"Got it", Valmet interrupts. She then stood and grabs her USN Mk2 sheathed knife and starts out the room. "Goodnight, Koko." Her voice became smooth and warm.

"Goodnight, Valmet", Koko replies sweetly.

Valmet then left the room, leaving Koko and Jonah alone.

"Jonah", Koko starts. "Have you ever thought about your future?"

Jonah thought for a moment, then looks to her with his unemotional look. "All I can see myself then is remaining as your body guard."

Koko now was at a loss of words. She went and unconsciously hugs him to the point where he falls back against the bed.

"K-Koko?" He blushes just slightly at her action.

"Jonah", Koko says softly. "You really are charming with your words."

Now he was speechless.

Koko, though, presses on and sat up from him, her legs straddling his sides. She began to unbutton her shirt, then tosses it aside. Wow, her bra looked so expensive! But, that isn't what Jonah was thinking of. His head was set on embarrassment, but, at the same time, how firm and moderately plump her breasts were.

"You're blushing so furiously now", Koko comments with a giggle. "But don't worry. I'm a bit timid as well."

Jonah nods slightly, but then widens his eyes with both shyness and anxiety as she reaches behind her back, followed by the sound of her bra unclipping. "Ko-Koko, is this really okay?"

She gave a curt nod. "You're polite, but quiet. Sweet and kind. As well as protecting and strong. To me, and for a thirteen year-old, you are just as precious to me as a mother is to her son."

Is that even an okay comparison with the current situation, Jonah thought to himself.

"But, you can only take in the sight", she answers with a wink. "Oh, and that's an order." She gave off her malicious grin, the same when she would be in danger. What a look for their current situation.

Jonah was an obedient lad. So, even with an order as indecent as this from his boss, he did as she asked and kept his eyes open. His gaze travels up and down her bare chest. He hadn't realized how fragile her body looked. How smooth and delicate her skin must feel around the areas she kept clothed.

And in that moment, Jonah must have fallen for her, if only briefly.

"That is all", Koko then says. She got up off of him, then heads to the bathroom. "I'll go for a shower so I can rest off for the night. You're welcome to stay if you'd like." She then went inside the bathroom and closes the door, her back pressed against it. She was looking down with a heavy blush she's been keeping in the whole time.

What on Earth was I thinking, she thought to herself. She closes her eyes and shook her head as if shaking off the embarrassment. I can't believe I let myself get the better of me. I wonder what he must be thinking now that I've exposed myself to him... She lets out a deep sigh then heads into the glassed shower cubicle.

...

Revy stumbles against the wall of the hall of an apartment building with a bottle of rum in hand. Ugh, I think I drank too much... Where the hell am I even going?

Rock pokes his head out of one of the doors to see what the grumbling and brushing of the walls were. Not so surprising, he found Revy drunk as an Irish. "R-Revy?"

Revy looks up to find Rock, who steps out of his room. "What the hell do you want"- Groan -"Rock?"

"How much did you-"

"Is something wrong", a woman's voice says from inside his room.

"N-No, everything is fine", he calls back nervously. He then looks to Revy as she gave him a certain look. "Revy?"

Her look was of anger, then went to him furiously with the stomps of her boots and presses her body against his, causing them to back up into his room. "Rocky baby, who's the whore?"

An elder woman from inside twitches her eyes, but held her smile. "Rock, what did she say?"

"Oh, n-nothing!" He lets out a nervous chuckle. "Now, about the rent!"

"Right", the woman says as she stood. "You have next week to pay up. Remember the amount." She then left the two alone, closing the door behind her. "Jeez, screwing right in front of me..." Her voice was heard down the hall.

Revy looks up at Rock, close to his face, then groans. "I've really done it, right?"

"Right", Rock agrees. "What was that about?"

"The 'whore' part?"

"All of it."

"I'd say this drink made me talk." She whirls her bottle of rum around, then sets it down on a nearby chair. "Mind if I crash here for the night?"

"Yeah, sure." He helps her over to the bed, then sets her down. "I'll take the couch. Wake me if you need anything."

"Right, right..." But, she was fast asleep.

Rock looks down at her with a thin smirk, then covers her up in a blanket and starts for his couch. "What a day..."

...

Balalaika was in her office, looking over some of her papers. But, her thoughts were swimming. Why does Amalia want Koko dead? Just how powerful is she? Will killing her even settle things with Amalia? Ah, Amalia. You are a great friend, but why do you want her dead?... Just as she finished her thoughts, her phone rang. So, she picks it up and listens. It was Amalia.

"... and don't mention a word of me to Koko or her team." Those were the last words Amalia said through the phone before they exchange goodbye's to each other.

"So, I see", Balalaika said to herself, now her questions answered. "You want her dead so she won't get in your way of your company... I'll do what I can if it'll save your company."

...

The next morning, Koko was already in a car with Ugo. They were driving behind the 18-wheeler driven by Mao with Lehm in the passenger seat. Valmet and Jonah were in front of the truck with another 18-wheeler and Tojo, Wiley, and R were behind Koko's car. They were on the outskirts of Roanopur, heading towards the church. Once they came across a bridge, they had found three bodies hanging from above.

"This area gives me the chills", Wiley says.

"I know, right", R agrees.

"How's your new toys doing", Wiley asks Tojo.

Tojo, in the passenger seat, opens his laptop in his lap, then opens a program. There were images of hallways, a few rooms, and the lobby of the hotel they were stay at, along with a green light at the corner of each camera but the lobby. Those were motion detection alerts. If green, it was okay and the area the camera was set on was not intruded. But if it beeps and shows an orange light, then someone had tripped the motion detection of that area.

"It's working just fine", Tojo answers. "Wish I can buy more of these, though."

Wiley gave a curt nod then sat back.

"We're here", Valmet says in everyone's earpiece. "Get ready to pull in and sweep the area."

Valmet parks in front of the church as Mao's truck backs up to the back. Tojo parks his dark blue SUV beside Valmet, as did Ugo, then everyone exits. At the entrance of the church stood two nuns, one being in her elder age and the other younger with dark purple shades.

Koko and her group steps forward to the nuns.

"I suppose you have our shipments", the elder nun asks.

"Yes, we do", Koko replies, holding out her hand.

The nun takes it carefully and shook slightly. "Would you like a drink?"

"That would be nice, thank you."

The nun lets go of her hand, then nods. "Please come inside while Eda prepares you all a drink."

The younger nun nods, then heads inside.

"Can you do that in front of us", Lehm asks. "If you don't mind."

The young nun stops, then looks over her shoulder at Lehm with an impatient sigh. "Or would you like to do it yourself?" Her voice was stressed and harsh.

The elder nun nods. "The bottle is just on the table inside. We were already helping ourselves. Now, Eda..."

"R-Right, sorry."

Everyone then enters, and sat at a seat in the front of the church. In front of them was a large cross and the usual altar setting. Eda, the young nun, poors a bottle of red wine in everyone's glasses. First to drink was Valmet, then gave Koko the okay to drink.

"Now, if you'd all wait patiently for Sister Yolanda to come back, it would be nice", Eda says with the tone saying she didn't want to be here.

She had the bottle held against her hip, bringing R, Lutz, and Tojo to give her a look like she already had them in her magical seductive grasp.

"So, Eda, if you're a nun-", Lutz starts, but Lehm pats him hard on the back.

"We don't need a nun to kick your ass after those words come out", Lehm warns.

Eda chuckles slightly. "Good boy."
