PREVIOUSLY:

You don't have anything to worry about them-I cut off Gin's words. I quickly look at him.

I do! C'mon, Gin! Those people from Ignoto won't agree to what we'll say! And I've search their background but the only one that I found without net is the name Zero. I heard about someone named zero in a police force but it's hard information about him/her. I said. Gin laugh. WHAT?! I annoyingly shouted.

You care too much for a newbie, Rye. We'll handle it. I'LL handle it. Don't worry. He stated and I look away.

Sorry, if I'm very annoying. But, I just had this feeling I need to. I slowly said. It feels very familiar... What is it?

Gin's expression turned back to his normal emotionless face. You're a detective and your craving for information to solve a piece. He thought. And while saying that to his mind, he clench his one hand and gripped his cigarette. But, that's in the past. Now, you're in the path as the organization's cub. He added in his thoughts.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter 14: Love

Hey, Rye. Gin. Malt said as he walks towards me and Gin, who's currently seating parallel to each other, both have coffees in front.

You're 4 minutes late. I said as I glance in my watch, then to Malt. Malt sits down beside Gin and sighs.

You should know that I'm not a morning person. Malt commented.

I know. I said with a shrug. I sip from my coffee as Malt orders.

So... what's the plan? Malt said. Gin put his arms around his body and looks at me.

Just do what you're told to and I'll do my own business. I said as I look at Gin and then Malt.

You should've just said that earlier so that we're not wasting any time in here, Rye. Malt said boringly. But, the good thing is I can sip a coffee in this cafe, again. Relax without any work to do.

Oh? So this is your favorite place? I ask.

This place is my past, present and future. I started having a part-time here and always meet with you-know here and now, I own this shop. Malt explained.

W-wait! I said quickly. THIS is your shop? Gin smiled at my shock expression and Malt just smirked.

The owner likes me and gave it to me years ago and it grew to many branches because of me, you know?

That's why it smells like it's full of people from the organization.

It's one of the organization's meeting place, well, just few people knows this. Gin said.

Anyways, if we're not going to have any other things to talk to then... I said as I was about to get up but Malt pulled me down back to my seat. I glared at him hard and Malt just laugh. WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! I shouted.

C'mon. It's just a minute since I'm here and I want to talk something with you. Malt answer with a devil grin. My eyebrows twitch but I stayed in my seat and just glared at him. Gin stood up and looked at me and Malt.

I'm going. He said.

What the-! Me, too! I hurriedly said but freaking Malt quickly hold my clothes and pinned me down again in my seat. ARGH! What is it you want to talk about?! Damn you. I irritatingly and annoyingly said. Gin, now, is stepping out of the shop.

Malt just grinned. Well... you see, you've been staying with the organization for 3 years and you've met a ton of the organization's members and you're 22 now...

Just go with what you want to say. I ordered.

He chuckled. Have you ever thought of having a girlfriend? I raised my eyebrows at him.

No.

Then, do you plan to?

No.

What?! Seriously, Rye? You're like, ranking from 1 to 5, you're the 1st in the list which every girl in the organization wants to be with! He unbelievably said.

I'm not interested with this love bullsh*t or romance thing. I coldly said.

He face palm himself. Just tell me then if you, somehow, have a feeling of interest or likeness to a girl in the organization.

I never had. I answered as I shook my head.

Then, do you find anyone cute there?

Nope.

Are you even a man? He sighed and push back himself as he leans in the solid back of the chair.

I don't want to repeat myself but for the sake of humanity, I'm not interested with those stuffs.

Just say that you find someone attractive in the organization. Anyone. How about the low drug maker, Akane Jishiro?

I look at him before I answer, She's too girly and very clumsy. That's why no superiors wants to get her even though she's already 4 years in the organization, she never even had any chances to be promoted with a name.

Then, how about Claret? You probably know that she's dying to get you that one time she actually ask someone to make a love potion. He said with a chuckle.

She's 4 years older than me. Annoying and crazy. And she's good to have Calvados. I said without putting any energy into it.

Calvados?! He then, laugh out loud. When he recovered, he continued, Then, Clairin?

She's 7 years younger than me and already have suitors. Also, she's annoying, girly-type and showy.-Rye

Leila Yamaki?-Malt

Too lazy and a year older than me. She already had a son and a freaking father. Why would I?-Rye

Horilka?-Malt

An idiot, slow and annoying person.-Rye

Cognac?-Malt

Really, Malt? He's a he.-Rye

Just asking... you might have interest with boys. He said with a shrug.

No. Never. I quickly insisted.

Vermouth?-Malt

She's probably 100 years older than me. Who knows what her age is... and she's the last person that I ever want to deal with. She's secretive and annoying but she's useful.-Rye

Kir?-Malt

No. And she's older than me.-Rye

How about... Sherry?-Malt

Sherry? I ask as I raise my eyebrow again. That freaking traitor? Like hell I'm going to like a person like her. More likely, I want her dead than live with her.

OK, ok... I get it. You're putting energy in your words that you want to kill me, instead. Chill. He said. I'm not going to ask anymore... it's useless to ask you about love and stuffs... go back to your room already. Lastly... really...

WHO?! I demanded.

Ran.-Malt

My eyes widened for a second but was changed back to the normal look. NO FREAKING WAY! I quickly blurted out.

Really?-Malt

Yes. And just like Sherry, I'll kill her because she's just like the others, a plastic and someone who just cares about herself and using other people around. I said with full of rage in my voice.

But. I look at him. But what if she did the other 'thing' around? I pause for a second and rolled my eyes at him.

That won't happen.

That's why I said it as 'if'. Come on, just answer as if you'll be dead or something and besides Gin already left. Malt slowly said with a smirk in his face.

I still won't. I firmly said while clenching my right hand.

What? He unbelievably said.

Even is she did the other way around, it won't change... her father would take her away from me from the moment I'm going away. Everyone's going to stop her and either way, I still and will be landing in the organization's care so I don't care about her being away. I explained.

Why?-Malt

I shrugg my shoulders. She can't escape to her father and those people surrounding her and I know they won't cause any harm to her. What matters most is I'm now in the family I should have been in at, the first place. I slowly said and after a long pause, I look at Malt. Now, can I go?

Malt just nod his head while looking down in his coffee. At last, I can go back.

Malt get something under the table and bring it up all the way near his mouth, 2 inches apart. He holds the hearing device as he starts saying, You heard that Gin? You should be happy. Your brother is still under control of your 'power' and is growing day by day. Heck, even the hate he feels with those people that in reality did nothing to him. He sighs. Gin, I'm warning you, now. If ever he'll know, you'll find someone who's a great enemy and someone whom you're going to enjoy fighting with, get mad at and who knows what things can happen, worse or the worst of all enemies. Malt ended his statement as he sandwich the device with his right thumb finger and index finger.

Gin, it's not just the boy who's changing, you're gradually changing, too, did you know? Malt said in a whisper to himself and a smirk form in his face. He doesn't know, of course. Well, he's just showing those traits in front of Rye so no comments are still made. A chuckle was heard, before continuing, Gin doesn't know that he already cares about the boy.

ooooooooooooo

Sitting in the driver's seat, Gin keeps smoking while listening at Malt and Rye's conversation. But in this current conversation, there's no sign of smirking and happiness found in the man's face. He's still capable of emotions. But as time pass by, I'm going to make assure that he won't. Gin angryly said in his mind.

Why? Malt asked.

She can't escape to her father and those people surrounding her and I know they won't cause any harm to her. What matters most is I'm now in the family I should have been in at, the first place. Rye said that made Gin smirk. Now, can I go?

After a minute, you can hear buzzess from the device connected to the hearing device.

You heard that Gin? You should be happy. Your brother is still under control of your 'power' and is growing day by day. Heck, even the hate he feels with those people that in reality did nothing to him. Malt sighs. Gin, I'm warning you, now. If ever he'll know, you'll find someone who's a great enemy and someone whom you're going to enjoy fighting with, get mad at and who knows what things can happen, worse or the worst of all enemies. The breaking of the device was heard all along and throughout Malt's talking, Gin didn't react even once.

He stay silent in minutes until he start the engine of the car.

I don't need to force myself making him the way I wanted him to be. He's unconciously becoming whom I wanted him to be and he won't know what's happening because I told him so. He never breaks any of my command and even if he already figure it out, there's still a blockage that stops his conciousness to wake up, and that's his will of following my commands. He said in his mind. Gin grinned wildly. That's a one brilliant drug.

After minutes of silence, another buzz was heard inside his care. Yes, I'm back home! Rye shouts. Damn, that Malt with that long talk of nonsense. I swear if I just can carry a gun like the others, Malt's mouth is long gone.

Gin laugh. What a child. He commented.
