Sorry for my late updates from all my stories. Cause my father is so sweet to take the computer away from me…. T_T
Chapter 9
After the mission I knew it was going to be hard to hold contact with this team, I mean, they don't trust me, that kid, Lok, he does but he's not a big problem, that Sophie isn't a big problem either, but Dante was a bigger problem, I didn't know whether he trust me. but for me, I had luck, he trusted me and gave me his address and number.

I looked through the window from my apartment, it has been a two days since I helped Dante and his crew. I look at Gareon and then at the pin- up board on the wall, the photo's of Dante in his personal life are hanging on it, for an evil Foundation agent, he was cute. I walk to the pin- up board and take the document.
'what's your weak spot Dante Vale?' she opens the document and looks at the information.
'this is useless, he doesn't have a weak spot, it's impossible, he's healthy, never had anything worse than a broken thumb… just impossible, favorite food… allergic too… nothing? He must be allergic for something! milk? soya? Something nobody knows or eats? Nothing….! This man is… like some kind of robot… aha… relationships… maybe not a robot, he has feelings ' she grins by reading the name of his ex- girlfriends.

While walking into the room I saw them sit around an Holotome.
'… hey! Look! It's picking up Zhalia!' Lok, he was so naïf.
'boys and their toys' I roll with my eyes while Sophie is turning to me.
'it may look coo, but it's no toy. With a Holotome seekers can scan any titan' that little smart brat, she's just so proud that she knows such boring stuff, I mean, we've got a Technonomicon, it works almost the same only ours can translate too, what those nerds must learn first.
'may I?'.
'yeah sure, you might learn something' Dante was for a teacher a good looking one, maybe a bit annoying and boring as it comes to learning stuff, but he was better than looking at my ex- partners, all the same, men, their so full of themselves.
'Holotome scan this'.
'Kipperin, attack 1, defense 2, type Gaya titan scout, size small, special abilities flight'.
'nice! Scan freelancer!' Lok holds the other amulet before the Holotome.
'Freelancer, attack 3, defense 3, type Draco titan warrior, size average, special abilities defender'.
'the graphics are lame' I lean against the pillar, ours are better.
'update required'.
'I can think of a million applications for this, thanks' Lok nods a bit to Dante.
'hope I'm not interrupting' says a blond haired man on the big flat screen.
'Guggenheim' Dante smiles.
'Dante, and is that Zhalia? I haven't seen you since our last mission, you look well' I knew it, he was just trying to complement me, so I nod, it's not that nobody ever said that about me, yeah me, I'm maybe not someone with many friends, but a lot of… well, one-nights stands and sometimes two nights stands.
'and there're a couple of new faces here, let me introduce, Lok Lambert and Sophia Casterwill, this is Guggenheim of the Huntik Foundation'. This is sooooo boring! Why introducing if they cannot make it till the end of the summer? I mean he didn't know but it was just so weird he just respects and trusts me, I know he was in my hotel, but he didn't ask more than if I wanted to join the mission, Klaus was delighted to hear that I was closer than he thought. I've killed more people than he did experiments on, and I can say, those are more than hundred.
'pleasure to meet you' (Yes I know it's not the real sentence but I cannot understand that last part because I don't have any idea what he's saying! XD) 'now Dante, I have a favor to ask of you'.
'I'm investigating a case of two, but if you got an interesting mission, I be able to fit it in' Dante smiles again, just like the teenagers, geez what are they thinking? That they can come too? I mean I don't hate them but they're just so annoying!
'there has been a curious rash of whirlpool in the waters of the river The seine, I'll shoot you the details in a file'.
'whirlpools? Do they happen near Rouen?'.
'of course! The legend of the Gargoyle!' Sophie was so proud on herself, that smartass was going to annoying me more than all the times she did already, I knew that legend too, I lived for more than a year there!
'you are a Casterwill indeed' that just makes no sense! Because she's a Casterwill doesn't mean she's the best and must know all the legends of… well all the legends there are!
'blahblahblah….' I heard only something that isn't really… tasty. Seek the amulet of the gargoyle, bring peace to the world, live happily ever after, real life isn't that easy, it's like you stand before your victim and notice that you don't have the weapons or skills to kill it, and that's the fault of someone who thinks he can do everything because they have the name Mr. Killer. Why would it be else with that brat there?
However, this was the best mission I heard in all the weeks I've been a member of the Foundation, and I must be nearby Dante, this was my chance!
'you get all the good missions Dante, how about sharing the wealth? I happened to know my way around Rouen'.
'you wan in? fine'.
'hello, excuse me? and what about us?' that brat of course.
'yeah! She's right, what better way to learn than how it's done? Come on' that was that little boy… of course.
'alright, why not, but you have to pull your own wait, everyone get packed' Dante stands up.

While we're sitting in the plane I look at the clouds, I likes the place by the window, always looking at the clouds, sometimes I could look at them all day, when Becky died I looked at them for so long, even when they were gone, the sky was so beautiful, like there were no problems and no promises.
Dante lays an hand on my shoulder, I look at him and he looks into my eyes. 'you look far away from this world, is there something to worry about?' he voice was low, I knew O could trust him, maybe it wasn't the best shot I ever shoot but I did.
'no, my friend died a few years ago, but I still miss her, she was like my sister, and now I haven't got any family left… it felt like another big wave in a sea of problems and worries, maybe it's fait and maybe it was just… I killed the man who shot her, and I'm angry, and after all those years… the sky feels like…. Some place with no problems or worries like a boat on that sea…. I know, I sound like some poetry crap' I feel the hand grabbing mine.
'I think you said it just in a beautiful way, it's not weird to feel that way, if you just… keep swimming in the sea, someday you will find land…' he smiles and I feel like smiling too, but I don't, I only sight softly 'I hope that day will be soon'.
