Act 2: Revenge.

Chapter 7: Blue eyes of the devil.

One week later, Siberia.

Eli is sitting at the table with tired look on her face; she takes a look at her reflection in the mirror on the wooden table, while she's busy with reloading her M1911. Russian shivers, when she hears some clang behind her back. Asian mercenary, who have an order to keep his eye on the new general's prisoner, opens the door and whistles to Eli Ayase.

Honoka Kousaka, Eli Ayase, Nozomi Toujou and Nico Yazawa... This four won't get on with each other, even if their lives would be on that. Eli shakes her head, cleaning her mind from irritating thoughts.

"Ayase, it's your turn now." He taps her shoulder with fist a couple of times. "Be gentle with our prisoner, I kinda beat the all shit out from her, hahaha." Merc laughs, walking upstairs the ladder.

Eli stands up, putting her M1911 in holster and pulling out a magazine from it, sending it to the pocket of her army pants. Blonde flicks off the safety on the pistol, walking to cells. Eli comes over Honoka's cell and knocks a couple of times at it. Blue eyed prisoner lifts her head, looking at blonde girl and coughing with blood. She groans, leaning on the wall behind her back and touching her bleeding temple. Eli watches her wound with disgust and moves to the nearest wall with med kit on it. She opens it, pulling out some adhesive plasters and bottle of hydrogen peroxide with some rags. Eli pushes the key into the keyhole of Honoka's cell, swinging it to the right and opening the lock. Blonde steps into the cell, closing the door behind her. Honoka take a brief glance at her; then she turns away, refusing to see her enemy. Ayase sighs, but comes closer to her, placing the meds on the floor and squatting down. Russian slides her hand around the side of her head, placing some hair locks behind her ear. She sees that Honoka is in bad shape; every other mercenary punishes her for some unknown reason.

But Eli don't want to maim this girl. Blonde Russian have her own plans for her prisoner.

Blonde girl takes some rag and spills some peroxide on it, making this rag wet. Eli leans closer to Honoka, raising up her hand with rag. "Here, let me help you." She places her hand on Honoka's shoulder, when ginger suddenly pulls it off, turning around and facing blonde girl with eyes full of anger and hate.

"Get the fuck away from me." Honoka says with coldness in her words that makes Eli shivers a little. "Better, if some merc comes here and starts beating me again than I see you, Russian piece of shit."

Eli didn't even blink, while she listening Honoka's curses. Blonde moves closer to ginger's face, placing her index finger at Honoka's lips and hushing. "Tsh... I just want to help you stop the bleeding." She gently slides her rag with peroxide across bruises and cuts on Honoka's face and temple. "See? Just a little help."

Blonde continues to treating ginger's bruises, placing some plaster on Honoka's temple. Eli smiles and leans to ginger's ear, sloping on it and making Honoka blush for some reason. "And if you won't stop swearing, I'll be forced to rape this cutie mouth." Russian giggles and steps away from her prisoner, whose face is red as hair of the girl she have kicked out from hill a week ago.

Rest in peace, Nishikino. Eli thinks, closing her eyes and smiling at ginger.

In this moment, Honoka was thinking about escape. She saw how Eli closed her eyes, making herself an easy target for mature soldier like Honoka. In the blink of an eye, ginger stood up, collecting her strength in one hit with her leg. Somehow, Honoka managed to hit Eli's head with toe of her army boots, knocking her over but falling with blonde girl. After Eli landed, she crawled at the top of the Russian, searching her pockets for everything she would need to escape this place. Honoka pulled out M1911 from Eli's holster and stood up, giving her a last look full of anger.

She knew about hill's situation from mercenaries, who were trying to enrage their prisoner. And she had a weapon to kill her.

"That's for Maki, you bitch..." She cocks M1911 in her hands, aiming at Eli's head. Honoka pulls the trigger without any emotions, but she widens her eyes, when gun just clicks without a shot. In the side of her eye, Honoka can see how Eli Ayase smiling. Ginger blinks a few times, but at this moment, Eli is already standing on her legs; Russian punches Honoka with her elbow, striking her down. Blonde girl steps on Honoka's stomach, looking down at her face.

"I knew that you would do something like that, so I just pulled the magazine out." She smirks, reaching for her gun on the floor and reloading it with its magazine, she is talking about. "Always checks the ammunition, Honoka."

Ginger widens her eyes, when she hears her name, but because of leg of blonde Russian on her stomach, she can't ask her the most important question. Eli sees that Honoka tries to get away her leg and steps back, giving ginger some time to catch her breath. Honoka take a look on Eli and leans backward, taking a seat against the wall.

"It's worth trying, huh?" Ginger asks Eli, looking at the gun in her hand. "Are you gonna shoot me? Then, make it fast...»

Eli smirks, holstering her gun. "I asked our general about you and your squad." Russian seets on her knees, moving forward to Honoka. Eli stops, when her nose is in a few inches from Honoka's face. "And no... I won't shoot you...»

Honoka takes a look straight into Eli's blue eyes. These blue eyes of pure demon. "What you want to do with me?"

"I will have some fun with you." Eli smirks, leaning in kiss with Honoka.

Honoka squirms in surprise, trying to get away from Russian; then Eli takes Honoka's hands and pushes them against the wall, kissing Honoka's neck. Ginger moans a little, turning Russian on. "St-t-top it..." Honoka tries to catch Eli's neck, but her hands are pressed against the wall too tight, slightly hurting her.

But Honoka turns on because of it.

"Not now... Wait a little~" Eli kisses ginger's lips again, using her tongue, when she undo ginger's trousers and slides her hand into Honoka's panties slightly wet.

"N-no... Get away.." Honoka moans, trying to stop Russian girl. "It-t... Hurts.."

"You like it, don't you?" Eli kisses Honoka's neck again, leaving a hickeys on it. Eli smiles, when Honoka tries to hide it from her, moving her head; then Eli take a look on her prisoner, who are crying: stream of tears rolls down her face, falling on the Eli's arm in Honoka's panties.

Then Eli finally realized what she did. What she did to this poor girl; Eli had hurt her a lot, but she realized it now, when ginger cried like a baby. Russian quickly pulled her hand out from Honoka's trousers.

Blonde girl felt bad. One thing Eli wanted to do now is cuddle this girls and calm her down. She tried to move closer to her, slightly hugging her, when Honoka pushed her away from her.

"Get the fuck away from me!" She shouts, walking to the corner of her cell and trying to wipe off her tears.

Eli raises her hand and tries to say 'sorry', but somehow, Russian cant't find a right words for this situation. It is her fault that this girl is crying now.

But then Eli asks herself a curious question. Why I even care about this American girl? And why I tries to rape her... What the fuck is wrong with me?

"Just.. Just leave me alone..." She begs Eli, hiding her face. Blonde girl steps out of the cell and closes it with her key. Then she goes away, leaving Honoka alone.

Honoka sobbed a couple of times, sighing in relief. Ginger was thinking about things that happened a week ago. Honoka was kidnapped because Maki failed her shot back there in Columbia. Yes, she'd hit the target. But she'd hit target's hand instead of head. But Honoka couldn't blame Maki for something...

Because Honoka thought that Maki died a week ago.

Her thoughts are stopped by the clang of the lock of her cell. She stares on Eli, who steps in with some plate with food in her hands. Russian makes her way to Honoka, taking a seat on her knees. Honoka raises her eyebrow, when Eli skilfully catches one dumpling with her fork, pointing it at Honoka. "I thought that you must eat some real food, instead of this..." She nods at the couple of slices of bread on the table outside the cell.

Honoka glares at the fork with her raised eyebrow. "What is it?"

"This is pelmeni, come on, it's good." She spins fork a little, moving it closer to Honoka's mouth. "Try it, it's better than this shit our general gives to you."

"You really think that you can buy me with some fucking food?" Honoka huffs with disappointed face because of Eli's thoughts.

"I know that you're hungry... And I know that our people haven't given you some food since yesterday." Eli take a deep breath. She is exhausted by Honoka's stubbornness. "You need it."

Honoka leans closer to her fork, smelling the food on it; dumpling smells good, so Honoka's stomach grumbles as smell reaches her nose. Ginger opens her mouth and catches this dumpling, pulling it off the Eli's fork. Russian watches it with excitement and tiny smile on her face. Honoka catches her eye line, twitching her eyebrow once again.

"What?" She groans and swallows a food in her mouth, letting out a cutie sound, which makes Eli's eyes light up a little.

Eli takes another deep breath, starting the conversation. "I'm sorry for everything, even if you're my enemy."

Something clicks into Honoka's mind. She begins to laugh like crazy and Eli feels that some shivers are rolling down her back. "I don't need your pity." She huffs, taking a fork and plate from Eli's hands. Blonde sighs, but stand up, staring at ginger girl. "You, your general and his men are the worst people I've ever met..."

"You don't know him and what he did for me and my family, so you better shut it."

"Or what? You will hit me and..." Honoka gulps the air, turning her head away from Eli. Russian can feel her fear, so she leans to Honoka and takes ginger's head with her hands, turning it to her face. Deep blue eyes meets her with the anger she have never met in her life. But someone else's anger can be stronger than anger of some prisoner. Pain for losing your lover is really hard. And person, who ever have lost his lover can make a lot of creepy things with anybody. Especially, if it is someone, who have killed your lover.

Eli places her index finger on Honoka's lips, letting out a hiss. "And I will rape you... For real." Blonde closes her eyes and smiles sweetly, slightly giggling. "And this time, your tears won't save you from me."

Honoka trembles in fear. She is innocent in all senses, except killing. And ginger wants to lose her virginity with someone, who loves her.

Umi... I need your help..

But no one could save Honoka from Mikola's hands now. It was her own fight with these bastards. And she couldn't lose it.

Eli takes her hand off, standing up and walking away from the cell. She closes it, throwing the key on the table in front of her and taking seat at the one of the chairs near it. She watches how Honoka eats her food greedily. Eli is sure that Honoka isn't a bad guy, but it is her duty to treat her with all severity she can have.

But Eli understood that her countrymen and comrades didn't have the same point of view. Actually, almost everyone from 'Radiance' were some kind of maniacs, psychopaths and murderers. Nozomi told Eli about it a long time ago, but Russian ignored it.

Because their general did a great favor for Eli and her family. She never forgot about it.

After all, can two girls from 'Ghosts' squad change Eli's mind?


Light breaks the darkness in the room of some U.S. private hospital for military and secret services. Ginger with cute small ponytail at the side of her head is laying on the bed and watching some basketball game. Some tall black skinned guy scores the point with dunk slam, leaving his opponents behind and causing Rin to let out an excited cry. Then ginger hears some hush from the right and after a couple of seconds, pillow flies over the floor and bumps into her face full of excitement. Then pillow falls on her legs, opening her face with poker face.

"You're mean, Maki!" Rin cries out for her red haired friend, who just turns away from ginger, wanting some silence. Rin's gaze falls on Maki, who is really silent for last week. And it is obvious, why she's acting like that; her lover and captain are kidnapped by some crazy psycho mercenary.

Rin stands up from her bed, holding the right side of her waist; wound still hurts like hell. Ginger slowly walks to her friend's bed, taking a seat on it, right near Maki's head.

"You know... They will survive, Rin can feel it." Chartreuse eyes waters up and Rin tries to wipe tears off, placing a hand on Maki's hip. Redhead slowly turns her attention at ginger, violently taking her hand, but instead of throwing Rin's hand off, Maki places it near her heart, slightly crying in the pillow. Rin understands that she is in a really bad shape, so she decides to lay near her. Ginger wraps her hands around Maki's waist, cuddling her. "M-Maki..."

Rin can hear just a sobs. Sobs of the girl, who have lost her love.

"Rin... I.. I just..." Maki breaks her speech and turns around, staring into Rin's face. "T-thank you..!" The tears comes, splashing down Maki's face. Redhead hugs Rin tightly, leaving no space between them and causing Rin to blush.

"N-no problem, nya.." Rin carefully strokes red hair of her friend. Ginger twirls her red hair locks, reminding that Maki loves it.

Room falls in calming silence, allowing girls to think about everything that concerns their minds. Rin coughs a couple of times, slightly moving away from Maki.

"You know, they said that colonel has recovered his consciousness.. Maybe, we should visit him... Ask him a couple of questions.." Rin suggests with some hint of sympathy in her voice. "About Honoka and... These girls."

Maki's eyes light up with anger, when she hears it from Rin. She moves away from her, looking into her chartreuse eyes. "I know the name of the blonde girl, we must find something on her." Redhead takes her seat on the bed, scratching her neck a little. "And then we will break her life."


Eli steps into the dusty room, turning light on. Her eyes falls on the short girl right near the closed window with metal bars on the other side of it. Raven haired girl with two pony tails clenches her right fist with demonic power, when Eli comes closer to her, standing right behind her back. Eli looks shy, when she starts a conversation with her.

"Look, Nico.. I-..!" Eli falls on the bed, when Nico punches her with the fist, looking at her with eyes full of anger.

"I-I'll f-fucking kill you Eli..." Nico stuttered, taking her head with hands.. "Why you killed her... WHY?!" She shouts and tears comes down her eyes, falling on the floor.

Eli don't know the answer of this question. She don't know why she've kicked Maki off the hill. But instead of it, she've kicked her right across the face with her boots, breaking her nose and sending her to the deepest jungles she ever have saw. Russian girl tries to cuddle her friend, who is in really bad shape. Nico's mental health is under the greatest attack right now and Eli can't help in this situation. Nico slowly stands up, wiping off her salty tears and comes to the window, looking at the snowy landscapes again.

"Leave me alone, I don't want to see and even hear you." Nico spits, clenching her fist in anger. "Better, if you just died, Ayase Eli."

These words hits Eli in her little heart, causing her guts to twist a little. Nico is pretty serious and she will really kill Eli, if someone give her a chance. Eli turns around and take a look on Nico before leaving this room. "Our general want to see you.."

"I don't care what this piece of shit want, you can tell him that."

"Nozomi and I really worry about you, can we…"

"GO AWAY!" Nico shouts in anger, hitting the window and leaving a cracks on it.

Someone walks into the room, sighing a little. Purple-haired girl with one long ponytail at her shoulder silently nods at Eli, moving closer to Nico, "Nicochi.."

"I don't want to live anymore… You always try to control me, Nozomi. But you can't control this girl… And yourself," Nico moves around and take a look at innocent Nozomi's face. At this moment, purple-haired girl know that every single attempt to return Nico to her previous mood will fail, "You shot me. Because of you, Maki Nishikino… The girl I loved was murdered by this bitch."

"N-Nico, let me explain…"

"I don't care whether you fuck with her or not, but why you didn't stop her?" Nico puts a sad smile on her face, closing her eyes, "Why you saved me anyway? I want to die."

"Listen to her, she's mad, Nozomi. I told you it would be just a waste of our time." Eli stops her caring role and returns her usual coldness.

"Shut it, Elichi, I don't want to lose my friend, don't you want the same?" Nozomi darts a glare on blonde Russian, causing her to drop a shiver because of coldness in her green eyes, "Nico, I want to help you, I really want it, but suicide isn't a way out. You need to speak with general. Then we all have a good dinner, I promise."

Nico opens her eyes, catching a furious look from Eli. Raven haired girl twitches her mouth and stops smiling, taking a deep breath, "I don't want to see him. Can you just leave me be…"

"Sorry, princess, but it's necessary." Eli huffs, walking out of this room and closing the door behind herself.

Nozomi follows Eli with her eyes and checks that blonde get away from the door, "Look, Nico. I will open you the most secret information right now, but you have to promise me that you will be with me for the end."

"If you have something to say then say it, God damn," Nico rolls her eyes, imitating purple-haired girl, "The most secret information… You're so childish, Nozomi."

"Shut up and listen…" She takes a deep breath and catches Nico with her arms, making her unable to leave or look away, "Maki Nishikino is alive. She and Hoshizora Rin in a hospital in USA. I will tell you later how I found it out, but please. Don't tell Eli about it, it's a real secret, Nico. Nico?"

What did she heard a couple of seconds ago? Maki Nishikino didn't died. It was a strike, which left Nico unconscious. Raven-haired girl blinked a couple of times, trying to understand what she found out about her lover and took a look in the green eyes of her friend.

"I can't believe... Why you didn't tell me later?!" She hisses at her friend, keeping her eyes on the door in case of Eli's returning, "I thought we were friends, Nozomi!"

"Nicochi, that's why I telling you this. I am your friend."

"I know, I know," Nico refuses the urge to roll her eyes, and moves around Nozomi, leaving her behind, "I will be there, at general's room."

Nozomi puts an innocent smile on her face, "Good luck, Nico. You need it."

I know, Nozomi, I know... Nico steps out of the room and heads to Razumovsky's room, trying to find out more info about the place they are in.


"It's his ward, doesn't it?"

"I guess so…" Rin places her index finger on her lips, thinking about something important, "Whatever, let's go and find it out!"

Redhead opens the door, coughing a couple of times before she enters it with Rin on her right. Colonel Parker is lying on the bed with medical machines plugged into his body to keep him alive.

"Geez, it's gross…" Maki stutters with disgusted face. "Is he even alive?"

"Ph-… M-Ma-Maki? Is that you?" Colonel tries to ask her, but fails and begin to cough.

"Easy there, easy… Don't need to speak too much." Rin comes closer to him and places a hand on his legs. "I hope you don't feel anything."

"D-don't worry. Even if I am the old man with broken bones, you still can touch me anywhere, corporal." He smirks and taps his bed a couple of times, gesturing to Rin to come closer and seat near him. "Nishikino, stop pretend like you don't see me, come here, girl."

"C-colonel…" Rin moves a little closer.

"I bet you want to know 'bout these girls, Eli and Nozomi, right?" Parker asks them, adjusting his bed to feel more comfortable than he is before.

"We want to know what happens to captain Kousaka, can you remember anything?"

Parker immediately moves his head and look away, in the window. It is painful to remember every single action back there in Columbia, especially for a man with broken spine. "You want to know it? I will tell you…" Colonel sighs, but turns his head back to girls. Maki comes closer to Parker too, leaning on Rin's shoulder. "This motherfucker Razumovsky is the strongest man I've ever seen. When he rushed for me, I thought 'Let's rock, ruskie!', but then he caught me and sent to the nearest wall. Luckily, I broke just a couple of my bones, it's nothing, but… Hell, I thought my back was broken for sure.."

Maki and Rin are listening him very carefully, trying to remember every single word about this mysterious guy. In fact, Mikola Razumovsky is the public enemy number one in the world right now, American politicians tries to make a dialogue with Russian government, but all their attempts fails, because general Razumovsky have some friends in their political system, so it isn't a big problem to stop the dialogue between two countries.

"However, I guess that captain was kidnapped by this psycho." Parker takes a deep breath and raises his eyebrow. "By the way, where is lieutenant Sonoda?"

Maki gulps and tries to remember what Umi have said to her a couple of days ago.

Maki, I will be in a bar near the hospital, I want to drink some fucking whiskey. Don't tell anyone where I am, okay?

"She is… She's out, yeah." Maki lies and immediately looks away, blushing a lot.

"Sergeant Nishikino, tell me where is she, that's an order." He commands to her, raising his voice.

"Umi is sitting in the nearest bar, probably. Are you happy?" Red-haired girl rolls her eyes, looking on colonel.

"Umi-chan… And bar?" Rin tries to deny it with tone of surprise in her voice. "Is she okay, Maki-chan?"

"I don't know… I don't really get on with her, Umi-chan is really serious at times," Maki blushes even more and begin to play with her hair locks as she always does. "I can't understand her, but… She's a great friend. When no one helps you, Umi always stands by your side."

"She needs you. Just like you need her," Parker states, putting a smile on his face. "So what are you waiting for? You shall go there, grab her ass and come here, so she can have some rest… Stop, or you just let her kill her sorrow with alcohol? That's pretty low, girls."

Rin and Maki takes a look at each other and nods, sighing in response. "You're right, we must bring her here as soon as possible."

"That's my girls, come on, she will listen you, and I know it."

30 minutes later.

Loud sound echoes through the bar, as Umi slaps Maki's face with her hand. Bluenette is too drunk and too exhausted to prevent a serious damage, but still, it was kind of creepy, when someone like Umi Sonoda slaps you. Red-haired girl touches her bright red cheek and tries to turn her head towards drunk lieutenant, who hiccups before taking another whiskey cup.

"Umi, just listen to me, okay? I don't want to fight you, but if you refuse to go, you leave me no choice then…"

"If you say so, sergeant," Umi hiccups again and tries to drink her whiskey, when Maki's hand stops her, holding Umi's hand on the table. "Let. Go."

"Only if we go the hell out from here, because you really should have some rest, Umi," Red-haired girl narrows, thinking about Honoka Kousaka and her relationship with Umi Sonoda. Unable to say something else, she just take away her hand and look in deep amber eyes of the drunkest girl in a bar, "Look, I know you and captain was…"

Blazing uppercut knocks Maki down, as Umi totally goes mad. "DON'T YOU DARE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HER, YOU HEAR ME?"

In this moment, Rin walks into bar, holding her mobile phone. Ginger girl take a look around and finds her red-haired friend laying on the floor with bluenette standing on her with cup of whiskey in her hand. Umi quickly swallows whiskey and throws it on the floor near Maki's head, breaking it. Loud noises attracts attention of everyone, who chills out in a bar, including barman, who continues cleaning cups, keeping an eye on drunk mad bluenette.

Rin comes over Umi, who already clenches her fists in case of attack, "Umi-chan, please, calm down, nya."

"Get the hell out from here, Rin," She pauses, surprised by Rin's kindness. "I want to drink…"

"You shouldn't be drown in alcohol, please. We need you to think out our next plan." Rin stops, as she notices some light of enthusiasm in Umi's eyes. "We need to think about how we can save Honoka-chan."

H-Honoka… Better if they took me with you, so I could see your face, but… I don't know what to do… Umi looks at her hands and helplessly shakes them.

"Umi-chan, please. All of us need you. Especially Minami-san." Rin hangs over Maki and tries to wake her up, before looking in bluenette's eyes. "She called us today and… Minami-san spoke about you, actually..."

"Is that so?" Umi leans against the wall and slowly rolls on the floor, hugging her feet. "Kotori worries about me?"

"Yes, Umi… Damn it…" Maki holds her jaw, slightly touching her face with fingers. "You could be gentler."

"Fuck you, Nishikino." Umi giggles and rolls her eyes. It is a pretty touching moment for blue-haired lieutenant of Ghosts squad. Sure, she is drunk as hell, but still… When Umi hears that Kotori worries about her and makes a phone call, her heart melts away and blood rushes to her cheeks. In fact, Umi don't feel it, but she smiles, thinking about her true friends. "Let's go, this bar sucks."


Ash-haired girl is working on her new laptop that is given to her from CIA district in this city. Kotori have been trying to create some kind of viral program to break through the virtual defense of 'Radiance' military company. Amber eyes behind the eyeglasses light up with enthusiasm, but because of tightness of it, Kotori feels yourself uncomfortable and this feeling distracts her from this important work.

Unluckily, it isn't a main thing that distract Kotori from her daily routine. She thinks a lot about Honoka Kousaka, leader of 'Ghosts' squad and her closer friend Umi Sonoda, who isn't in shape to normally stand still. Kotori takes off these noisy glasses and sighes, trying to catch some air of salvation and rubbing her sleepy eyes to make sure she won't fall asleep soon.

"I wish I have a cup of hot cappuccino…" Kotori whispers softly, placing her head over her arms on the table near a laptop. In this moment, agent Hanayo Koizumi enters the room, holding a tray with two cups and pair of croissants with cherry syrup on top of each croissant. She places a tray on the table and moves a chair closer to Kotori, who looked really cheerful than before. Hacker rubs her eyes again and looks into purple eyes behind the pair of glasses. "That's for me?" She points at the brightest croissant and cup of coffee.

"Yeah, I bought it for us." Hanayo flashes a soft smile to Kotori, who already sips some coffee, causing Hanayo to giggle nervously. "Ha-ha… So, tell me, please... Did you find out something on these guys? Maybe something about captain Honoka and this… Uhm-… Private Yazawa, right?"

Kotori sighs in a whisper and shows a screen of her laptop to Hanayo, who hardly know about all these hacker things, even if she know a lot about high-tech devices and gear of American special forces. "All I can say that their defense is the best defense I've ever seen. Without special data bases we can't break through this wall of information that blocking our viral programs." Kotori puts her glasses on her eyes and starts typing something in command-line of the newest hacking program. Half minute later, Kotori turns a screen of her laptop to Hanayo, letting her watch a hacking process. "You know, I can hack their defense, yeah… But, if we want to reach their secret information, we need to find this mysterious password…"
"So, what are we gonna do now, Kotori? 'Ghosts' is broken, two of them into enemy hands. You think that is clever to continue this relationship?"

"They're my friends. If you don't agree with me, then you can see the exit door behind your back, Hanayo." Kotori answers to her, more in furious style. "It was your idea to cooperate with them, right? You wanted this, you always wanted to fight the worst people in the world, right?"

"Kotori…" Hanayo sighs, but Kotori quickly cuts her off by hitting the table with her fist.

"You really want to leave after Korean accident? 'Ghosts' saved your life there, right?" Hacker hums, causing brunette to think a little about her view of life. Hanayo thanks them a lot after American special force have saved her from dirty gangsters. It is really scary for everyone there, but luckily no one have earned bad injuries, except private Yazawa, who have got shot in the shoulder.

Suddenly, Hanayo's eyes lights up with enthusiasm after she imagines a picture of wounded catlike girl with chartreuse eyes. Hanayo thinks about her pretty and cute face in light of a bright sun with drops of sweat on her forehead and all over the body. CIA agent even imagines Hoshizora Rin without any clothes, only bandages hiding her private zones.

Hanayo finds herself dreaming about a strange person in squad of American special unit, brunette quickly shakes her head to return her mind and looks at Kotori, who raises her eyebrow, waiting for answer.

"I don't know, Kotori, it's just… difficult." Hanayo sighs, resting her head on hands. She wants to go away from her problems.

Unluckily, Hanayo can't just run away from her problems, just like everyone else she have to face it and survive or fall.

Warm silent fills their room and only Kotori's sipping of coffee breaks it from time to time. Young hacker finishes her coffee and puts a cup on a tray, rubbing her forehead. "You like her, don't you, Hanayo?"

"W-what?"

"Hoshizora, wounded one. I guess you really like her." She smiles softly and nods to her brown-haired friend. "And sorry, but I checks your email… Sergeant Hoshizora is really cute."

Kotori giggles, causing Hanayo to blush. Somewhere in the deepest zones of her heart, brunette knows that ginger catlike girl is just her cup of tea. Rin's cuteness reminds Hanayo about her family.

Family… It was a long time I didn't hear any of my siblings… Hanayo thinks, sipping some of her cappuccino.

"So, Hanayo… You better get some rest, I'm going to work a lot today and it's really boring." Hacker flashes a lovely smile with Hanayo, who nods in response.

Hanayo also says good night and wanders off, leaving Kotori alone with her thoughts. She thinks about general Razumovsky, wondering how he have built a strong company like 'Radiance'. These thoughts leads her nowhere and she decides to lean back on her chair.

She wants to sleep very badly, even after a cup of hot cappuccino. Kotori blankly stares on the white ceiling and closes her eyes, relaxing every muscle of her body, when sudden notify appeares on the screen of laptop, causing Kotori to nearly fall on the floor. Ash-haired girl catches a table with her hands, dragging herself to recover her balance.

Kotori sighs in relief and take a look on the screen with a message from some anonymous. Kotori raises her eyebrow and thinks about who can finds out her email to send a message to her. Hacker double clicks at message icon and opens it, quickly reading the text inside.

One new message +1.
From ***

Dear Kotori Minami,
My name is Datu Kozen and I am the holder of Kozen inc.
Well, I guessed it's the part, when I can throw this formality and suggest you some offer.
If you interested, you can meet me tomorrow in the Roxoro Plaza restaurant in your city.
Don't try to fuck me up, I will find it out anyway.
Oh, and you need to come here alone, no friends and no lovers, do I make myself plain?
Good night,
Datu Kozen.

"What. The. Fuck." Kotori winks a couple of times, thinking she must be sleeping, but when she tapps herself at the chin she understands that it is for real. Mysterious Datu Kozen have found out about her email and called her for some meeting.

Kotori can't say a word, she just opens her mouth and stares into the screen, winking from time to time to water her eyes up a little.

Hacker don't know what kind of offer this mysterious guy wants to suggest to her, but she know one thing pretty clearly.

Kotori will go there alone, without her friends and she will find out everything about this guy and everyone, who involved in this game of power in the world.
