AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE MISSION
Chapter 6: A Step Closer
It was early in the morning, daybreak, a soft sunray wakes Li up and he yawns quietly, stretching a little bit, as he listens to the birds' morning songs. "Wake up," Li whispered to Sakura
"I'm up," she yawned, "have you been up all this time and forgot to wake me up?"
"No, I just wake up sweetie"
"I'll take the bathroom first!"
"Sure, go ahead," he responded as he looked into the slightly bright sky
Sakura head to the bathroom and brushes her teeth. She heard a small noise from downstairs and sneaked quietly down, she saw a person sitting on the couch, she couldn't see his face so not sure who but she made an assumption that is was Josh. "So, what bring you here?" She asked, "I think you know the answer, unless your bitch didn't tell you what happened."
"Never mind than, she did."
"What do you want?"
"I wanna know why you betray our Boss and went with that Bastard"
"You know your bitch can't wait to get rid of me and I'm sure you are too," Sakura told him, "she may think I don't know about it, but I'm not stupid."
"Ah, so that's how it is. You know how annoying it is when you're always 'the best' in the Boss's eyes and he sees me and Chris as nothing?"
"That's your problem and I have nothing to do with it"
"So you did slept with the Boss?" Josh emphasized
"No! To tell you the truth, he made a few attempt to but in hell I'm gonna be in bed with him!"
Josh raises one of his eyebrows
"Does everyone think I'm a whore? And lies wherever necessary so that I can get what I want?"
"Pretty much"
"Nobody know me and I'm sure of it. Betcha everyone get it from Christine! Right? … Anyways, why are you here?"
"Oh, the Boss might want to see you dead but I'll see"
Sakura rolls her eyes and said, "So you're here to get my life, true?"
"Dunno, might be. I just thought you wanna know something"
"What?"
"You know you already lost this war"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Thanks to you we got the right materials to get the virus from Schizler"
"Virus?"
"What do you think that disk and chip is for?"
Sakura's eyes now widen with half shock and fear
"So you got what you need, must you bring me more burdens?"
"I'm here to bring you back to the Boss and who'll knows what gonna happen"
"You think I'm just gonna go with you back? In your dreams"
Josh pulls out a gun and point it at her; Sakura have no reactions, she slipped down a gun from her sleeve and point at him also. You know we both could die at once with just a shot… "Nobody's shooting," Li demanded holding a gun, ready to pull the trigger
"Put the gun away," Josh said, "I have no intention to shoot her, it'll be just too plain and a waste of a kill for a person like her."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Sakura asked Josh
"If you're gonna die, it'll be under my hand to prove that I can do better," he answered
"Are you here to pick a fight?" Sakura asked. Li just stand there and decided not to join in since it's her battle, not his.
"Not today"
"Gimme a reason?"
"Because I know you're gonna lose"
"What did you say?"
"You know exactly the one thing that's in your way, keeping to from doing as well as you used to did"
Sakura bewildered at the comment
"Love, love is the number one thing that's always in the way, always keep a goal from being achieved and you know that, at least you used to." Josh said and walks out the door
"Wait! Why are you telling me this when you and Christine…"
"Hmp, there's no love between us, I'm sure she'll understand"
"What is your point? You're just here to bring me down?"
"I'm not gonna fight you when you're weak," he answered and drive away
Li saw Sakura standing still, starring out the door with sad eyes. He walks toward her and said, "Sakura…"
"Please, give a moment of silence"
"Alright, if you want," Li said and paused for a minute or two
"Maybe he's right," Sakura said in depress
"No, he's wrong, what he said is just bull shit. He just says all this to put you down so he can happily win his battle"
"Things are not supposed to be this way…"
"Maybe it's fate let us meet and it will led you to your victory"
"Forget that damn fate. They found the virus, who knows what they're gonna do with it."
"I'm gonna go get that damn thing from Josh," Sakura decided, "and I guess this will be the last time I will see you, I'll be at home… if I succeed that is."
"Is that meant I'm not allowed to see you again?"
"Visit me," Sakura forced smile
"I will," Li said and kissed her
Sakura walks upstairs to get dress in appropriate clothing, her bags, and leave. "Have you ever thinking about dressing in white?" Li asked in a teasing way (*the phrase 'dress in white' meaning wedding, not just white outfits)
"No, I'm not planning for it either."
"Really?"
"You'll never know…time change mind"
"Bye!" she said, blowing a kiss, "See ya later!"
"Sayonara!" Li shout back as she steps on the gas pedal and zoom away.
Sakura head to the freeway and move with a supersonic speed; the freeway is empty and there no cops so she figure it's alright to over speed a little, around 95 mph and drives to Josh's house. At the time, Josh is enjoying his steamed hot shower; she got out and look in the mirror and saw a message, written on a fogged up mirror, it said 'see you downstairs'. He hurried up and get dressed and walk down. "Hello, you found out my whereabouts and snuck in so I decided to do them same; it sounds fair, what do you think?"
"Whatever," he responded and sits on the couch, "you want a drink?"
"Sure, why not," she said playfully with a strange smile. Josh smiles and said nothing, looking at her. He had a crush on her since his first day he met her on the job but have been trying to stay away because he knows how things will go and he have been with Christine for a long time. Josh got up and gets a bottle of champagne and pours it into two drinking glasses and takes a sip. He hands Sakura a glass and sits next to her; she pretends to drink it but didn't because he might put something in there and she doesn't trust him plus she doesn't want to be drunk. Whenever she picks up the bottle to fill his glass, she would pour hers into his plant that's by her. "What is your purpose of coming here?" Josh asked
"Do I need a purpose?" she asked back
"Forget it," he said and pours more wine in her empty glass. "Here, lemme do it," she pour some wine in his cup and puts in sleep powder. Sakura puts down her drink and moves onto his laps and unzips a few of her shirt buttons revealing her under garment and gives him a seductive smile and asked, "So, where do you put that thing? Can I see it real quick? Because I'm not gonna leave until much later…I'll be here with you."
Josh pops out a secret drawer from the side of the couch and let her look at it. "Oh, so that's what it looks like…" she responded
"Yeah…" Josh fell asleep…
"It's about time!" Sakura emphasized and writes him a note that was left on the table and it reads 'You're not as strong as you thought. Weak.' Than she left the house and head home with a relief.
