Chapter 10: This way and That

"Well isn't this a surprise? The two people I was very anxious to meet." his cold voice drawled which sent shivers down Elsa. "Though I was more anxious on meeting you, agent X." he replied, his eyes darting to Jack's narrowed ones.

"I find that hard to believe." Jack responded, coldly.

The man gave out a cold laugh. "So…" he began, playing with his weapon that was in his hand. "Which one shall I take out first?"

Jack stepped in front of Elsa as his cold eyes never left the man. This only made the man to be deeply amused.

"You, Jack? Very well then."

The man suddenly blocked the attack when Jack came up running to him. The man then flipped backwards, avoiding another assault from the boy. At last, Jack did a powerful swing with his leg which ended up crashing into the man's face. The figure crashed through the bookshelf, making his head to it.

Taking this opportunity, the two agents rushed out of the office.

"Who was he?" Elsa asked once she caught up to him.

"Matthew Banks." he answered. "He is the Head Boss in which we had seen earlier."

"You mean the one who was talking to Hans?"

"That's the one."

She paused. "How do you know so much?"

"I do my research."

More like hacking into things. Jack thought, smirking.

They were then got blocked when two large men came into the view, blocking their path.

"I distract them. You go." Jack responded.

"What? No way!"

Without having Jack to reply, she took off. Once Elsa was starting to come in the middle of the two, she immediately jumped into the air to perform a Russian Split. As a result, the two got smacked into the face from her heels. They staggered backwards though one of them was quickly "recharged" since he got up.

Elsa ducked down then stuck her leg out and tripped him. She then gave a powerful punch which knocked down the fallen guy. However, the other man saw that her back was facing to her so he decided to use the element of surprise.

Jack noticed this and was about to call out for Elsa but it looked like she had noticed it as well since the moment the enemy was close to her, she quickly placed one of her hands at the back of the intruder's neck and one at his chest.

She flipped him over, letting him to collide with the already fallen man and then swiftly punched him in the face.

Satisfied, Elsa got up and smirked at the dumb-founded Jack who quickly changed his emotion to a bored one.

"Yeah. You took them out. Big deal." he muttered.

Elsa widened her eyes when she saw another of Matthew's men coming from behind the unaware Jack. Seeing a fire extinguisher that was nearby, she smashed the glass with her hand (which was a very stupid thing to do) and took out the extinguisher.

"Heads up!"

"What…" he trailed off before he quickly ducked down when he widened his eyes.

She swung the object violently which struck the man's face, causing him to be knocked out. When Jack heard a THUD, he turned around and saw the foe out cold.

"You could've warned me!" Jack exclaimed, terrified that he had almost lost his head.

"I did…"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. I said, heads up so it's not my fault you decided to be all dense." she stated, tossing the item on the floor.

"You're crazy!" he said, incredulously.

"Nope. I'm just stating my facts." Elsa replied, flipping her hair as she turned around. "Coming?"

"Don't know if I should." he mumbled.

Jack lifted his eyebrow when he saw something "shiny" on Elsa's hand. "Hold on."

He grabbed the hand and frowned when he saw the blood trickling down. "What did you do?" he asked.

"Um…I might've…punched my hand through the glass to get the extinguisher…" Elsa answered, sheepishly.

He stared at her before he jerked his head to the side to see a broken glass case then he went back to staring at Elsa who fiddled with her hair.

"You're definitely crazy." he muttered before ripping a long piece from the bottom of his white shirt.

Using the piece, he tied it around the bleeding hand. "That should do it for now. Just don't do anything…crazy."

"Everyone thinks I'm crazy." she mumbled.

"Aren't you?"

Elsa gave him a dirty look as she snatched her hand away. "I am very well not!"

She stomped away angrily, leaving Jack to chuckle and to shake his head. They finally made it back to the ball but they had to leave since they didn't want any…suspiciousness.

"Ah, there's the Richmond!" a voice shouted which earned the two to halt.

They turned around to see a chubby well-groomed masked man and a woman that seemed to be his wife. She was pretty even though her face held a mask. She had chestnut brown hair that was put in a delicate bun while her curled bangs fell loosely to the side.

Her simple plain dress was long and pretty though it had some designs on the upper part—the bodice. The lower part—the skirt—was plain but when it gets struck from the light, it appears to be shiny. The color of the dress was a light pink.

"Mr. Richmond." the wife replied, curtsying.

Jack tagged along as he swiftly had his eyes darting from the man to the woman. He knew these two alright.

"Madame Beaumont. Monsieur." Jack nodded.

"How long has it been? A year? Surely it must." the woman spoke in an almost light French accent.

Jack nodded. "I believe it was." he paused. "But I'm terribly sorry to cut this meeting short. My wife and I have to go. It was nice meeting you…again."

The two nodded. "Have a good evening."

Jack and Elsa quickly rushed out. When they were out of range, the wife spoke.

"I could not help but to think that something about them is off." she shrugged.

"Another close call. I can't wait to finish this part of the mission." Elsa muttered, catching her breath.

Jack chuckled. "Anxious are we?"

"Yes! I'm anxious to be…divorced from you!" she snapped, angrily.

"Hey don't take it out on me." he smirked before placing an arm over his chest, pretending that he was hurt. "I'm hurt. Was I not a good husband to you?"

Elsa glared, earning a crooked smile from him.

"You best hope that I don't come over there and rip your head off from your body!" she proclaimed.

"Touché."

The two began to walk away from the grand white building that looked like a palace. That was until they both heard a rustle that came from both sides of the bush: one from Elsa's side and one from Jack's.

The two, listening intently.

"Did you…?"

Elsa nodded. However, the girl blinked when she thought she saw something in the bush. Like a pair of glowing yellow eyes. But when she blinked, the eyes vanished.

Talk about creepy.

They took resumed walking as both of them shrugged it off, thinking that it was probably a stray that was trying to scare them. Though when they reached the two-way path, something grabbed both of them (feeling their mouths being clapped) but they were each going in a different path.

Just like that, the two were gone…

A/N: So…a shorter chapter than the previous ones. If you want to know how Madame Beaumont's dress looks like, I'll post it on the facebook page so you guys can check it out.
