Chapter.13
Mirabella pulled out her gun and narrowed her eyes. He wasn't very far ahead of her. She just had to be patient, that's all. Moving forward a bit, she hid behind a dumpster in the mouth of the alley.
Looking across the street, she saw Seras. Seras nodded to her. Mirabella nodded back. This was her big chance. Her chance to prove herself. And she would do it. She wanted to become part of the ranks in Hellsing, to go on missions with them. So be somebody.
She heard a noise. Looking back toward the street she aimed her gun, ready to shoot. Finally, she saw the man in the distance. It wasn't two seconds after seeing him that she shot, hitting him straight in the heart.

"Very well done." Integra sat down in her chair. "I hear that you killed him on the first try."
"Yes."
Integra thought for a moment. "It seems that you do have some sort of talent, Mirabella. Maybe we could use you here at Hellsing. Would you like that?"
Mirabella smiled. "Yes, Ma'am. I would. That would be smashing. I wouldn't disappoint you, I promise."
"Well, then. It's settled. You'll stay here and help us."
"Thank you." She smiled, again.

Seras walked up to Mirabella and waved her hand from the other side of the hallway. "Hey! Congratulations!" She laughed. "I hear you're staying with us."
"Yeah!" They finally made it to each other. "I'll be working here. It feels great."
"Well, I'm happy for you. I think it'll be a good thing." She smiled. "Well, good luck."
Mirabells nodded. They walked away from each other, Mirabella to her room.

"So, you're staying here with us." Mirabella turned around. She was unpacking some things that Seras had gotten from her apartment, now that she knew she would be staying here.
"Yes." She nodded. "Is that alright?" She was worried. She really wanted this woman to like her, but she was afraid that wasn't possible after everything that had happened between them.
She sighed. "I suppose so. Integra feels it's alright. So I think that it must be. Alucard even thinks you did a good job. So, you have to stay, I think."
Mirabella thought about this. Maybe this was her way of saying she wanted her to stay too? She looked at her. "I hope we can be friends. Thank you for letting me stays here."
Elizabeth smiled. "Welcome home."
