Luccis wife
Chapter 10 – Time passes
Time flies. And one fine October afternoon the agents could be found in a backroom at Bluenos bar. For another time they go over every little detail they found out about Iceburg, his past and associates, in their search for the blueprints. Once again searching for a hint about the whereabouts. It was then Kalifa remembered an incident that happened shortly after her arrival: a man named Cutty Flam wanting to talk to Iceburg. "Franky is a suspect. He was the second apprentice of Tom. He came to the office shortly after my arrival and gave the name Cutty Flam, later he became known as Franky."
Taking in the information given to him Lucci reclined in the seat he was in, his face an indifferent mask even though his thoughts were racing. "Dig up any information you can find on Franky, his past and present. Especially his relationship with Iceburg. We will meet back here in three weeks to go over it and decide whether we will follow this lead further or not." With that he gets up and leaves the bar to head back home. The other agents watch him leave before they start planning on how to get the necessary information.
The first thing Lucci does once he reached his destination was to put all the paperwork into the office. Only then he greeted Freya with a sweet and gentle kiss. Surprising her with his declaration of planning to take her on a trip over the weekend to a nearby island, happily Freya agreed. Since it was Thursday she was in a hurry to pack everything they would neeallthewhile mumbling over the short time notice, though there was no malice in her voice and her smile never left her face.
Unnoticed by her Lucci himself had a hard time keeping the smile from his face, something that never happened before. With a laugh he left her to pack everything knowing he would be most unwelcome if he offered his help. Only checking whether he had the small package in his pocket or not. Holding it in his hand always gave him a nervous flutter even though he knew he had nothing to be nervous about.
Friday passed slowly, but eventually even their work shift ended and only an hour later Freya and Lucci could be seen boarding the sea train to the next island. During the first half hour no words were spoken between the two both distancing from everything work related so they could enjoy the weekend. After that they simply talked about whatever came to their mind while sitting snuggled into each other.
Once they arrived Lucci lead them to their hotel to drop off their luggage before setting of to explore the small island, it did not take long at until they have seen everyt. Getting tired Freya started to yawn leading Lucci to lead her into the next best restaurant and later to their room where Freya promptly fell asleep. Chuckling Lucci tucked her into the bed before preparing the next day only then he fell into bed next to his love, who simply slides into his arms as soon as he lays down.
The next day Lucci takes Freya for a breakfast picnic. They sit upon the cliff in a green field surrounded only by nature, leading them to talk in hushed voices. Once again fingering with the box in his pocket he suddenly straightens up, leading Freya to look at him inquiring watching in surprise and later shock when Lucci gets up only to kneel back down right in front of her. Opening up the box to reveal it's content, a silver ring with three stones, the middle one as red as her eyes guarded on both sides by grey ones representing Luccis eyes. "You my love, are the best thing to have happened to me. I still wonder why you would want to be with me, but as you do I want to keep you with me forever. That's why I ask you: will you do me the honors of becoming my wife?" Not able to say anything Freya simply nodded with tears in her eyes and watching while he slid the ring onto her finger.
Later that day while walking around the small town she couldn't stop smiling and catching glances of her ring, often leaning up to steal a kiss from Lucci. That evening they watch the sunset on the beach and simply holding on to each other and enjoying their time without duty.
It was a relaxed and newly betrothed couple that exited the sea train the day after. Much to Freya's dismay Luccis first action was to check the mail after he noticed a purple letter in their mailbox. After reading it he turned towards her "It's from our boss. I need to consult with the other agents, I will be back later." All traces of his relaxed self were gone within a second and for the first time in a year Freya is reminded of his true job and nature.
Without another word he instructed Hattori to notify the other agents of their meeting and leaves to get some paperwork out of the office, exiting the house a few minutes after arriving. Deciding she could not do anything about it, Freya leaves to tell her best friend of the news.
I know I am much to late and the chapter is shorter than usual, but it took me ages to write. Though I have an idea of how to continue I cannot promise any update schedule. SORRY
