His footsteps slowed as he neared the flowing water. Spotting Helga propped up against the tree writing in a pink journal with her ankles crossed, he enjoyed how the light hit her skin. Smiling at the girl he turned his attention to another Agent not too far from her dismissing them so he could watch her.
"Arnold is still asleep I assume." Lou said smoothly as he stepped nearer to her.
Helga groaned internally at the thought of being alone with him. Helga wasn't blind since he touched her hair and started speaking of her looks that it just made her feel uncomfortable. "Yes. I know I keep him up because he tries to comfort me from the nightmares I still have."
Crouching down near her he had this strong urge to touch her. "I'm really sorry about that and I do have news on the homefront." He loved how she perked up there.
"Is it good news I hope?"
He should deliver this among everyone else, but he wanted her reaction. Watching her get up, Lou loved how those eyes seemed to flash more. "There was a warning issued that they will get you for running away." Seeing her about to fall, he held her up. "Your family and Arnold's is safe, but we have to make sure to keep you safe."
While Helga heard what he said, she noticed he seemed more focused on her which made her quirk her eyebrow up. "Just me?"
Lou felt his professionalism dissolve at her nearness as he went to kiss her, but a punch from the side made him stumble away from her. Opening his eyes and rubbing his cheek, Lou looked at a very angry, Arnold standing there with clenched fists.
"I think my father would be interested in what you were trying to do just now." Arnold informed him as he gently took her hand to lead her away.
"Arnold, he said they issued a warning." She whispered.
Fuming at what he came up to witness, Arnold released her hand to then wrap it around her waist for comfort. "We will beat this, Helga."
The wolf prowled through the boarding house late at night.
The creaking of the old wooden floors.
The snores of every occupant in the building.
With a look back at a couple of the wolves loyal followers they went to the room.
The room where a journal was most likely hidden.
A room where it might point the way to their location.
A follower questioned the method seeing they were once there before, but the wolf pointed out that a scared wolf hardly remembers their way until fully calmed.
Or until the scent gets picked up again.
Helga listened to Miles rip into Lou the very second he walked back into camp. Feeling Stella next to her as they watched the Agents around them among others along with Arnold looking as if he wanted to punch Lou again.
"So my son punched him. Never thought he would do that." Was Stella's comment.
"Arnold loves to fight with his words so even I'm surprised." Looks over to Miles. "I can tell Miles is like that if provoked." Helga was sizing everyone up the whole time the yelling kept going on.
Leaning closer to her ear, Stella giggled. "Let me tell you some stories another time, sweetie."
Helga suppressed a smile. "I hope you do." Amusement dying down, she turned her head to look at her. "I know you are doing this mostly because of your son and not for me." Seeing the distress in Stella's eyes, Helga placed a gentle hand on her. "I'm glad since he is worth it more than anybody in this world." Helga wasn't under any impression seriously that they were doing this all for her so as she looked back at the drama in front of them she was shocked to feel a kiss on her cheek.
Whispering in her ear, Stella told her softly. "Yes we are, but honey we knew a long time ago who our son wanted to marry when we saw you both together. You became family to us."
Tears threatened her eyes. Helga heard the sincerity in her voice. She actually heard love in it. The first time she really heard that tone of voice truly was from Gertie, and even then she was surprised. Turning around a bit, Helga hugged her. "I really love him. I don't want anything happening ever to him."
Stella appreciated the words. Loved her for them. "I know you do."
"I seriously don't trust him dad." Arnold spoke out once he heard that Lou was staying on.
Lou turned his attention over to Arnold looking as if he was ready to stalk over to him. "I'm still capable of protecting you."
"You looked like you wanted to take advantage of, Helga." Taking a step forward, Arnold stopped the second his father put his hand up to halt him. "Well it was his only concern that I saw."
"Well, Lou is no longer in charge of this because now it is Matthews after what he pulled today." Miles informed his son.
Lou flashed a brief glance over to Helga who stood silently away from them. "I was unprofessional today and for now on I will never let it affect me again. Matthews is in charge of this and Miles you are obviously best in navigating the jungle around here."
"Also remember that I am an Agent as well. I may not be the one in suits like you have always been, but you get my drift."
"Yes I know. You are like Indiana Jones except you aren't a teacher." While Lou scoffed at that, Arnold looked close to wanting to punch him again.
Stepping foward, Matthews started to issue orders out then heading over to Lou he pointed out out towards the jungle. "Time to get to your check point."
Watching Lou leave then Matthews, Arnold spotted Helga heading back into their hut. "Thanks dad."
Placing a hand on his shoulder, Miles smiled. "Any time. Please watch out for her since he did tell me his attraction to her that day we saw him touching her hair."
Nodding his head, Arnold headed into the tent thinking that she wanted to hit him or something, but was met with her arms wrapping around his waist. "Guess you aren't mad at me."
"Why would I be? I didn't know I rubbed into you, bucko." Looking into those eyes she smiled as she did a quick check on the outside as she reached for his hands to place on her breasts.
Raising an eyebrow up, Arnold also did a quick check behind him as he decided to snake his hands up her shirt and under the fabric of her bra. Breathing heavily now he had her step back deeper into the hut to lift up her shirt and only one half of her bra so he can dip down to lick the hardened buds. "Please look out for anyone coming this way." He begged.
Helga almost laughed at that request seeing as she was in the middle of ecstasy with her eyes half lidded. "Please let it be nightfall soon."
"Yes please there." He echoed that sentiment as he continued what he was doing down there.
Several figures flanked the front and back of the house as one sleeping form still laid downstairs in the living room on the easy chair with the television still on. From the front door, the figures walked inside silent as death as they stopped to examine the prone form in the chair. From the back door, a few more figures came in to walk past the ones in the living room to head silently upstairs.
The large form in the chair started to snore as he smacked his lips. Drool hanging out from side as the large figures stood around before flanking the prone form. They readied their weapons.
Upstairs, there was only one person laying in the master bedroom sleeping soundly. A much tinier figure compared to the one downstairs. This one the much smaller fewer figures eyed one another almost feeling this one to be a waste since this one probably suffered enough from having been married to the one down there. They all shrugged at one another before a needle was produced. It would be a much quieter way to go for this one. Less violent as they quickly placed it in her pulse point. As they did this, they heard the unmistakable sounds of what happens when you are violent with another human being.
Miriam woke up just for a few seconds to see who was staring down at her. "Not my little girl." She begged softly.
Unfortunately that was all she could say before she expired and the sounds stopped down below. Turning around they went back down to see the tortured and expired mess of Bob. Someone laughed at that one. Who? They had no clue.
"I see your daughters looks were given by her mother." Said the largest one who was always allowed to speak. Who was allowed to openly threaten, Helga. "She should be happy for that one."
They all turned to exit the home the way they all came in. All silent. All undetectable.
Maybe I went a little far with Helga and Arnold I don't know so forgive me there.
