Just one touch

Chapter four

"Hey, Delilah, I've been waiting for you." Delilah just walked into the Training Room when Anita called her.

"I'm so sorry, Anita." Delilah said with a little smile. "But I got lost. Special Agent Ray was so kind to bring me to here."

Anita smiled. "It'll take some time before you know how to walk around here, so don't worry about that." Anita looked to Delilah. "Let's see what you already know about self defence." Anita brought some training robots in and she turned their switch on. "When it is too much, just say stop and I'll turn them off. Ready?"

Delilah nodded. "Ready." she said and Anita sent the robots towards Delilah.

A few minutes later, all the robots were shut down. Not because Anita turned them off, but because Delilah knocked them all down.

"That's very impressive." Anita said. "Especially for a new agent." she picked up the robots and she looked to Delilah. "Did you do some special karate lessons? Those moves are moves that only a trained agent would use."

"Something like that." Delilah said. She hoped that Anita wouldn't continue with this subject, but she didn't know Anita that good.

"Delilah, is there something you forgot to tell us?"

Delilah looked away. "What do you mean?"

Anita sighed. "Delilah, look to me." Delilah turned around and she looked into Anita's eyes. "It is like I just said. Only a special trained agent knows how to use those moves. And especially T.H.E.M. agents knows those moves."

"How would you know that? Do you have a spy at T.H.E.M.?"

Anita gave her a little smile, just a little one. "No, but I've seen how T.H.E.M. agents fight and you're fighting like you are one of T.H.E.M." Delilah didn't say a thing and she walked to the bleachers. "Delilah." Anita said as she walked after Delilah. "Did you join T.H.E.M. in the past?"

"What do you want me to do?" Delilah said and she looked into Anita's eyes. "Do you want to let me confess it and that I tell it to Special Agent Ray?"

"No, I just want to know the truth." Anita said as she sat down next to Delilah. "You won't be able to hide it for ever."

Delilah sighed. "Alright." she said. "I worked for T.H.E.M. But after a few months I saw what Doctor Doctor was doing and I knew she wouldn't treat us fair, so I quit T.H.E.M. And just in time. I believe she had some strange mission and a lot of the expendables go injured." Delilah looked to Anita. If she didn't believe this, she had to think of something else, maybe something a little bit more convincing. But it was a little bit true. She really wanted to quit when she heard about the mission, but she got injured a day before the mission, so she couldn't come with them at the attack.

Anita nodded. "I see." she said. "I guess you'll never forget what you learned during fight classes."

Delilah smiled a little bit. "It's very handy when some kind of guy wants to hurt you or humiliate you." Delilah thought for a few moments. " I think the last one who tried to humiliate me is still in hospital and that was five months ago."

Anita laughed. "I know what you mean." she said. "But alright, I won't tell anybody else that you were a T.H.E.M. agent. But be aware that when someone finds out about his, there is a chance that you get fired."

Delilah nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."

Anita smiled and she saw Victor walking into the Training Room. "Hey!" she called and Victor walked up to them. "How was it at Professor Professor's lab?"

Victor sighed. "He invented a hypnoses ray. He made me do some silly things."

"Like what?" Delilah asked and she looked to Victor with sweet eyes.

"You don't want to know it and I am not going to tell it to you, women."

Anita smiled. "Come on, it's time to start the training. There is enough tat you need to learn."

An hour later lay Delilah down on the ground. "If I knew it was this exhausting, I wouldn't say yes." she groaned. "I think I won't be able to walk for at leas a week!"

Anita laughed. "Get used to it, girl. It'll only become tougher and tougher."

Delilah placed her head on the ground. "Great!"

Victor smiled and he walked up to her. "You'll get used to it." he said as he bended over her. "If you want to, you van take some rest at your emergency bunker."

Delilah nodded and she looked to Victor. "Could you help me back onto my feet?" she asked as she extended her hand to him.

"Sure." Victor grabbed her hand and he helped Delilah back on her feet again. Delilah said goodbye to Victor and Anita and she walked away. "She's a nice girl." Victor said and he looked to Anita. "Too bad she's a few years older than I am."

Anita looked to Victor. "Since when does the age of someone decides if we have to like him or her?" she asked.

"Well, it's just that I'm not that kind of guy who loves elder women."

Anita sighed and she just wanted to say something when her communicator rang. "Anita Knight." she said.

"Anita, could you help me?" sounded from the other side of the line. "I think I'm lost."

"Alright, tell me where you are and I'll come to you." Delilah told Anita where she was and Anita walked away from Victor without saying another thing.

---

"Here it is." Anita said with a smile and she looked to Delilah. "Maybe you should ask someone to walk with you when you're not certain how you need to get to a place."

Delilah nodded and she walked into her emergency bunker. "I'll be back in an hour." she said.

Anita smiled and she looked into Delilah's bunker. A lot of stuff was in there, some stuff you wouldn't expect in a emergency bunker. "Delilah," she started. "why did you bring so many stuff in here?"

Delilah sighed. "Because some bozo's thought that my apartment needed to be smashed down to the ground. They didn't tell it to me until a few days ago. So I didn't have the time to go and look for a new apartment."

"And Ray knows about this?"

Delilah nodded. "He was the one who came up with that idea. I'm really glad about it, because a hotel room would be too expensive for me."

"And how long would you be staying here?"

Delilah shrugged. "I have no idea. When I find a new apartment. I really hope I'll get one soon." Delilah looked to Anita. "If you don't mind…" she said with a little smile."

"Oh, of course." Anita said and she stepped back. "Call me when you need some action."

"I'll do." Delilah said with a smile and she walked into her bunker.

This will be the toughest mission ever
